In 1994 we had a holiday on Lake Garda in northern Italy. At the northern end of the lake was the beautiful town of 'Riva del Garda' from where a climbing road quickly lead us into the beautiful mountain range known as The Dolomites. Here is one of our views I took with my Canon A1 35mm camera. This sight of these three high peaks (Tre cime di Lavaredo) on here is perhaps one of the most famous scenic views of this Alpine range. (see PiP). Original on slide.

Seen on our Yorkshire Dales short holiday. The first water encountered on this walk. The Pecca Falls is the name given to a set of waterfalls on the River Twiss in Swilla Glen, near Ingleton. There are five waterfalls in total which collectively drop over thirty metres in height. (http://myyorkshiredales.co.uk/water/waterfalls/pecca-falls/) PiP Enjoy

A majestic view of this famous viaduct in Winter. The viaduct which is part of the famous Settle to Carlisle rail route is framed nicely by one of the'Three Peaks' mountains called Whernside. At 736m (2415ft) a small hill compared with the mighty Alps but for us here it represents a big mountain indeed. It is joined by the Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent mountains as part of the three Peaks which is one of Britains greatest outdoor peak chalenges - to do all three in the same day. Ingelborough sits almost exactly opposite the wide valley here. It would have been nice to capture one of the regular trains on this too especailly one of the special steam trains but it was not to be, however I did catch one of the sprinters a short time after -see PiP. Many steam trains including 'The Flying Scotsman' runs over this during certain times of the year. I have yet to see a steam train on here though but I have been on a train that has gone over the viaduct too. The fresh snow was almost gone a couple of days later. Enjoy full size.

A more recent companion to this map, which shows one of the major sources of London's wealth in the 19th century, the docks and in particular timber importation, is this one www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/49815322 which relates to the 21st century's business world of finance and information technology. The view above also contrasts the old world of commerce in materials in the foreground with the distant towers of the financial world of Canary Wharf.

Muzeum Wsi Radomskiej is an open-air museum of the Radom region country side. Great place for a weekend visit. But not when it is raining, because then everything is grey ;) ----- Olympus XA + Ilford XP2
