Aschi "Freestone"'s photos

HBM from Vancouver's Stanley Park A bench where you can be inspired by aboriginal art. There are nine totem poles, with different mystical motifs that stimulate the mind. A good start to the old year week

HFF Best View of Matterhorn The overwhelming mountain panorama on the Gornergrat attracts many tourists to the vantage point at 3,135 metres above sea level. They all want to take a look at the 29 four-thousand-metre peaks, especially the Matterhorn and the Gorner Glacier, the third longest glacier in the Alps. For protection, there are some stone fences or walls here at this altitude so that no one can fall ;-)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, enjoy the holidays

The Church of St. Agnes Built on a hill, easily visible from afar and from the sea. Most Catholic churches are oriented east-west and their bell towers are on the west side, the bell towers of St. Anna's Church are on the east front, the entrance is on the west side, the apse and the altar are on the east side, which contradicts the usual construction.

The Church of St. Agnes The only church in Istria with two towers, in Istria all churches have only one bell tower.

HWW well protected Fortification walls and gates A fortification wall or gate is a structure built around a village/town or even a whole area to prevent the intrusion of enemies, but also to protect against animals or the forces of nature. In military terms, it is also called a fortification or weir.

HBM in the Fitness Park "Take good care of your body. It's the only place you have to live." (Jim Rohn) I wish you all a sporty, moving week ;-)

A tour to Medulin The Medulin area has been inhabited since prehistoric times. The Romans appreciated the natural beauty of Medulin and built their summer residences here. Today's residents also appreciate beautiful residences with magnificent gardens.

Everything under observation The seagull is watching my wife and she is watching the seagull. Everything under control ;-)

HFF from the resting place of the wild bees and the man once he brings his place in order :-) Wishes an enjoyable view of the weekend

A very special holiday home The Porer Lighthouse The lighthouse on the island of Porer, built in 1833 on the southernmost cape of Istria, is 35 metres high. The island is a rock about 80 m wide, 2.5 km from the mainland. The lighthouse houses two holiday flats. In the immediate vicinity of the lighthouse are beautiful bays and islets. The island is very small and can be circumnavigated in a few minutes. Magnificent sunsets, which are among the most beautiful in the Adriatic, make walks an unforgettable experience. Very strong sea currents and winds blow around the island all day long, which can limit bathing pleasure a little. The transfer to the island is by boat from Medulin and it takes 35 to 45 minutes to reach the tower, depending on the weather. You should buy food for your holiday before the transfer ;-) Views of the sky to which you seem a little closer.

Exploring the Kameniak Nature Park with its flora and fauna. Cape Kamenjak has a unique flora and fauna . Well over 580 different plant species have been recorded in the nature reserve , five of which have their only habitat in Croatia on Cape Kamenjak. A special botanical attraction are also the numerous orchid species and the typical sage. More than 23 different protected species can be found on Kamenjak. The cape is also used by the local population for livestock, olive growing and tourism. The fauna on Cape Kamenjak is rich in species, about 190 species of birds, rest or nest here in the park, a great variety of insects cavort in the park. Protected species of mollusks, various species of fish and sea urchins, sometimes the Mediterranean monk seal can be found in the area.

These snowy mountains also form a rampart and it separates two mountain valleys from each other. I wish you all a not too cold winter day.

Through the forests on dusty gravel roads in search of.... PiP 1: Polje beach is one of the beaches of the village of Premantura, "A picturesque bay with tiny fishermen's cottages, small boats and crystal clear sea, Polje beach is freely accessible to all. here there is actually , only nature.

Blue hour A physical phenomenon at dusk is the blue hour. During this short hour after sunset, at the beginning of darkness, the sky turns deep blue, the surroundings illuminated by the remaining light. When day and night meet, impressive images are possible. PiP1: Sunset When the sun disappears below the horizon, we speak of sunset, the time of its setting in the daily course of the sun, as well as the celestial phenomenon as such with all its phenomena. After sunset follow the geographically different periods of twilight. In various cultures - among the ancient Germanic tribes, in Judaism, Islam - this marked the end of the day and the beginning of the following day. In modern times, the beginning of the day falls at midnight 00:00.

HBM Some benches in a trailer park to rest:-) I wish all Iperians a successful start into the new week

Entrance façade of the Church of St. Euphemia The three-nave Baroque church towers high above the old town. It was built at the beginning of the 18th century on the foundations of an older church by a Venetian master builder. St. Euphemia is the patron saint of the city and all of Istria. The interior is dominated by arcades and columns which divide it into three naves, the central nave towering over the other naves.
