Two Towers, Bologna. This part of the city, built when Bologna was at the peak of its power and wealth, was once dotted with towers. In fact, one of Bologna’s many affectionate nicknames is “la turrita,” or the “city of many towers.” There were once hundreds of towers in the city; some were built for defensive purposes and many others built by powerful families, continually attempting to one-up each other.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Australian Monday week #35 - winner announcement!
@vinceboisgard Australian Monday entry:
The Great Ocean road really is a nice drive, especially when the sun is out. You can do it in a few days to really enjoy the sceneries. These are the famous 12 apostles or what left of it! They are slowly disappearing because of the ocean erosion.

@marc-allaria Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
I still try to propose underwater photography for the Tuesday World Oceans contest ! This week a nice red gorgonia shot around Pasoso Island in Sulawesia. A lot of current kept the sea really clear as you can see. On the gorgonia, you can see a black comantula which is the same family of sea star.

Tomas
CEO & Founder of CGH
My only visit to Stockholm, Sweden happened in summer of 2009. But it was only an 8 hour layover before catching a ferry to Tallinn, Estonia. I do wish I cared more about photography at that point, because even 8 hours would've given me some great photos. But I do have this one of Riddarholm Church. This church, the burial place of Swedish monarchs, is one of the oldest buildings in Stockholm with parts of it over 700 years old.
Another picture taken early evening in Florence, along the River Arno, where the lights on the building reflects nicely on the river. The blocky style buildings along the river is pretty characteristic of Florence, and you can see that they hang slightly over the river, with the ground level lined with shops. Pretty interesting!
Beautiful Florence, glad to have another image from that amazing place.
Thanks Tomas
Scottish Crocodile, Isle of Eigg
Isle of Eigg is one of the Inner Hebrides, islands located off the western coast of mainland Scotland. Craggy and sparsely populated, the jagged cluster of islands is dotted with Iron Age sites and traces of the earliest Christians to see this part of the world. The islands have a greater percentage of Gaelic speakers than anywhere else in Scotland, save their neighbors to the west, the Outer Hebrides. In many ways, walking along the rocky coast of Eigg was a bit like stepping out of the twenty-first century and into some distant point in the past.
I can see where it got its name from:)....
Schladming, Austria
Originally a small mining town, Schladming is now a famous winter sports resort which hosted FIS Alpine World Ski Championships twice (1982 and 2013). Four interconnected ski mountains (Hauser Kaibling, Planai, Hochwurzen, Reiteralm) offer more than 167 kilometres of pistes.
Yep, that sure is an excellent place. Thank you for sharing your image with all of us.
The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Sofia is the main tourist attraction of the Bulgarian capital. It was built in Neo-Byzantine style and is the second largest cathedral on the Balkan Peninsula. The best time to visit this impressive building, is shortly after sunset, when the lighting is switched on and there is a deep blue sky in the background.
What an amazing looking sky and great entry!
Thanks a lot! 🙂
The photo was taken on a roadtrip to Barcelona. This is Girona in Spain. There is a river flowing through the city, crossed by several bridges and accompanied by colorful houses stacked on each other right besides the river. right here i am standing on one of those bridges.
Thanks ever so much for your contribution.
Bastei in Saxon Switzerland, Germany
Just as the neighbouring Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic that I visited afterwards, the Saxon Switzerland is part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and features an impressive landscape. This viewpoint is located at the Bastei.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.
What an amazing looking nature. Thank you for your participation.
This amazing beach is called Cala Mitjana and is located on one of the best preserved islands in all the Mediterranean: the island of Menorca (Balearic islands, Spain). Its almost pristine nature, as well as its translucent waters, make the visit worthwhile!
Thank you so much for your contribution. Truly appreciated. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today.
For a small country, Montenegro is filled with amazing sites, such as Lake Skadar National Park. It is the biggest lake in southern Europe and is located at the border of Albania and Montenegro. The most beautiful view you will have from a small road, where you can watch this colorful Horseshoe Bend.
I love Montenegro, what a beautiful country.
Meadows full of wild flowers up high in the Apennin mountains near the National Park of Tuscany and Emiglia Romana.
Life up here has a different rhythm. People drive up to the forest early in the morning to collect wild mushrooms, the meadows are busy with dogs being trained for hunting and everyone stops to say hello and are curious about what you're doing. This is the Italy I love!
I certainly like the slower pace of life... at least nowadays, lol....
