Colourful Canals of Old Amsterdam

The Dutch capital is an amazing city to visit. Jump on a tour boat or explore on foot and admire the maze of grachten – city canals – in the historic centre with its colourful architecture, bustling cafés, museums, art galleries and more. The grachtengordel or “canal belt” in Amersterdam is UNESCO listed, not surprisingly.

Beautiful Bunnahabhain Beach

Well worth taking a stroll along the beautiful beach at Bunnahabhain (Tràigh Bun na h-Abhainne) for the stunning views across the Sound of Islay before popping in for a visit to the distillery of the same name nearby to sample the delicious golden amber.

Bunnahabhain, Isle of Islay, Argyll & Bute, Scotland, UK.

On the Edge of the World

Or so it feels, when you look out over those turquoise Mediterranean waters and colossal cliffs from El Pilar de la Mola.

The charming Balearic Island of Formentera is only reachable by ferry from Ibiza or by your own private yacht:-) There is no airport.

But it is well worth it. Not just for this view from its highest plateau near the Mola lighthouse but for its amazing turquoise waters, gorgeous sandy beaches and its unique flair.

Peaceful Port Charlotte Dawn

I stood on the small beach near the harbour and enjoyed a peaceful moment just before the sun came up.

A small fishing boat is anchored nearby in the golden, calm waters of Loch Indaal, while the Paps of Jura mountains on the neighbouring island form a silhouette in the distance.

Locals’ View of the White Beaches

When approaching the famous White Beaches on the coastal road from the south you will be greeted by views like this. Before driving a few hundred yards to scenes like this. Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

A small flock of local sheep on the hillside above Taransay Bay who enjoy this spectacular view across one of the beaches to the village of Luskentyre and the Harris hills beyond every day. Not sure if they appreciate it like I do LOL.

Window Seat View

Back in the day I flew almost every week and my faithful Nikon D200 went with me in my handbag! I always tried to get a window seat. Sometimes with amazing views like this one. Sometimes it was cloudy or rainy – or I was over the wing:-( Once there wasn’t even a window!

Not so long ago when flying back to Germany from Edinburgh I was lucky enough to enjoy the late afternoon light reflecting on the North Sea with a wonderful smattering of tiny clouds far below. If you look carefully there is a tiny ship crossing too.

Captured from a commercial flight at about 10 000 metres or 33 000 ft above sea level.

Warm Sunset over the Bay of Palma

Sit back on the beach, maybe dip your toes in the water and enjoy the last golden rays of sun over Bay of Palma. In the distance, you can watch yachts returning back to harbour after a regatta. San Juan de Déu, Platja de Palma, Majorca, Spain.
