Carvoeiro is a small village in the Algarve region, Portugal. Surrounded by high cliffs the beautiful sandy beach is perfectly sheltered against wind. So this place is popular amongst tourists who want to spend the winter here. But I can imagine that in summer the beach will be full too.
Taking the Vaporetto to Venice really is a joyful experience. The view shortly before arriving at Saint Markus Square is very impressive and you can clearly see the Markus Tower.
At Skiathos, a very beautiful Island at the Sporades, Greece, you can find a lot of beautiful beaches. But Krifi Ammos, called the “Hidden Beach”, certainly is a special beach. It is a rather small beach in a small bay. And you have to walk a little bit to get there, so it is rather quiet, especially off season.
This alleyway is found near the cathedral of Aachen in the old city of Aachen. This picture shows the Cafe Rose and the cathedral shop during the blue hour.
In this building, functioning as the Province Hall of the Dutch province Limburg) in Maastricht at the Maas reside the Provinciale Staten (parliament of the province Limburg) and the Gedeputeerde Staten (Government of the province Limburg). The chairman is called Gouverneur, but only in the province Limburg. His official title is the King’s Commissioner.
This picture was taken during the blue hour and shows this interesting building with the river Maas in the foreground. The illumination reflects in the Maas beautifully giving some extra colour and light.
The Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht is a museum of fine art. It is housed in a building from the Architect Aldo Rossi. It is considered a landmark of Maastricht.
This picture shows the Bonnefantenmuseum at night, taken from the other side of the Maas, making the river Maas a nice foreground for the building in this picture, with reflections from the lights on the other side.
Skiathos from above. From this place on a hill in the center of the city there is a beautiful view over the capital of the island Skiathos with the same name. This city is full of life, but life is very relaxed. So you can stroll through the city, you can go clubbing or just chill and relax, everything is ok.
This phenomenal beach is situated on the northern part of the island Euboea, Greece. It is the second largest island of Greece. This beach starts to the south of Limni, goes around Katounia (where you can find a tavern) and stretches out for some kilometers. It is a very nice walk along the beach and as there are almost no tourists, you can enjoy tranquillity anywhere you like.
The Sint Servaasbrug (St. Servatius bridge) over the river Meuse is the oldest bridge in the Netherlands. It connects the central parts of the city Maastricht with the Wyck district, where you can find the main train station of Maastricht. This bridge is for pedestrians and cyclists only.
At this beautiful beach in Vourvourou you can find this very nice pine tree, all alone at the beach.
