Crookhaven, Co. Cork

Almost sunset; we reach the hotspot of the trip: Three Castle Head and the ruins of a remote castle
The Castle ruins
All over the horizon, all you can see are glorious golden shades, deep blue water and cloudless sky. It couldn't get any better than this, maybe being at the location an hour earlier. At the far right, third row, you can see a glimpse of Mizen Head.

Early morning view over Crookhaven peninsula and village.

Original la malul mării

O nouă destinaţie de sezon pentru turiştii de la mare, actualmente in construcţie. Lucrarea este sponsorizată de dezvoltatori locali cu sprijinul statului şi a altor intreprinzatori externi. Aspectul noncomformist, simplu, dar de o ambiguitate debordantă a fost elaborat de un artist local in urma sesizărilor dar şi a scrisorilor de adeziune adresate de către localnici. In urma concursului organizat in ultima clipă a debutului de sezon estival, s-a hotarit la nivel local ca acest proiect sa fie cel premiat, şi in acelaşi timp, onorat cu decizia de a fi adus in cotidian. Începînd de săptamîna trecută, stabilimentul poate fi admirat de perechile de toate vîrstele, ocupaţiile şi orientările dornice de senzaţional. Am fost şi noi, cei de la redacţie (în medalion în josul paginii), printre privitorii plini de entuziasm care au asistat la depunerea într-un cadru solemn a pietrei de temelie a minunatului şi originalului stabiliment non-turistic.

Another London view

Beautiful location over viewing the center of London, up on Parliament Hill in Hampstead Heath.
Clearly I wasn't the only one enjoying the view.

London view

Behind every great location is a great guide to it.

Tratat de conversaţie anglo-român - vol 2

 put lipici here;
Daddy, put petrol la car;

It's raining tare;
I only like zeamă;

I need mai mică one;
I want to put capac;

I te iubesc;
Mummy, is vulpe a fox?

I need to wash this seal cu buretele;
Why are you închiding this?;

London - my 3rd coronation

There were places I have missed last time I was in London. And for sure, there are places I will miss this time. One location I couldn't miss is this:
This year trip pivotal place was Greenwich. I've been introduced to the area last year, as a great location for taking photographs but also for meeting a bit of world history. This is the place where east meets west. The world's two geographical hemispheres, 0 hour meridian. On the way to the Royal Observatory we passed by the National Maritime Museum.
I could say more things about what it meant to me to be here, but I will let you enjoy the images without further delays.
