Ireland’s Oldest City Waterford Ireland
By MARANMaran2525. Friday, February 3, 2012 7:29:27 AM
Forever synonymous with quality glass making, Waterford is Ireland’s oldest city, founded by Viking in 914. They settled beside a natural harbour, and the city has long been a major port and trading centre, becoming wealthy in the 18th and 19th centuries through commerce and industry. Three important rivers know as the Three Sisters (Suir, Barrow and Nore) merge near Waterford Ireland before flowing into the harbour.
Waterford Ireland
The old city is delightful. The long run of quays from Grattan Quay to Adelphi Quay remains a colourful focal point. The ancient heart of Waterford Ireland is known as the Viking Triangle, within the original fortified area, which has become a tranquil place with narrow streets, medieval buildings and green spaces. New walls were constructed in the 15th century, most of which remain and are impressive. Don’t miss The Mall – a broad street containing some of Waterford’s finest Georgian buildings. Be sure also to see the elegant Chamber of Commerce building, City Hall and the Bishop’s Palace – prime examples of fine 18th century architecture.
Two splendid cathedral – Christ Church (Church of Ireland) and Most Holy Trinity (Catholic) were both designed by prominent Waterford architect John Roberts in the 1700s. The city has named a new square after its even-handed cathedral builder (unofficially know as its own Red Square after red paving used when it was created by pedestrianizing the junction of three main thoroughfares). This, along with nearby Arundel Square, is an important commercial area. Beside the city walls is an inner city area with a long market tradition centred on Ballybricken Hill, now an open space but once a thriving livestock market. Waterford Ireland is a popular base for tourist seeking to explore the mountainous interior with its numerous lakes, or the rugged coastline with cliffs and sandy bays.

Florence Italy As The Cultural Centre Of Italy
By MARANMaran2525. Friday, February 3, 2012 7:20:11 AM
Florence Italy is the cultural centre of Italy, and perhaps of the Western world. Crammed with galleries, wonderful buildings and world-class art treasures, this unspoilt late-medieval city clearly demonstrates its importance in the cultural and political development of Europe.
Florence Italy
The architectural jewel of Florence Italy has to be the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, known as the Duomo, a Gothic masterpiece. Its magnificent dome was built by Filippo Brunelleschi, and inside there are beautiful frescoes by some of Italy‘s greatest artists.
.jpg)
The Campanile tower (partly designed by Giotto) and the Baptistery buildings are also well worth a visit. The Baptistery started out as a Roman temple; its bronze doors were among the earliest large bronze castings in the Renaissance period. Both the dome and the tower are open to tourists and provide excellent views over the city rooftops.
At the heart of the city in Piazza della Signoria is the awe-inspiring Fountain of Neptune created by Bartolomeo Ammanati. This famous marble sculpture lies at the end of a Roman aqueduct, still in working order. A stroll around the city streets will reveal many Renaissance architectural masterpieces, including Brunelleschi’s Ospedale degli Innocenti (foundling hospice), the Pazzi chapel in the Church of Santa Croce, Michelangelo’s work at San Lorenzo, and the Laurentian Library.
Renaissance Florence Italy was dominated by the Medici, the most powerful family in the city from the 15th to the 18th century. They patronized many artists, and the city’s two major art galleries, the Uffizi and the Pitti Palace, were created for their art collections. The Uffizi was first opened to visitors in 1591, which makes it one of Europe’s first museums. Today it houses the greateat collection of Italian and Florentine art in the world. On the other side of the river is the Pitti Palace, which contains some of the Medici family’s private works, as well as a large number of Renaissance masterpieces, including several by Raphael and Titian, and a large collection of modern art. Next to the Palace are the lovely Boboli Gardens, displaying a whole host of interesting sculptures.
The Arno river passes through the centre of Florence Italy, and by wandering along its banks, you can enjoy the unspoiled skyline of domes and towers. Be sure to see the Ponte Vecchio, with its built-in houses and shops. Built in 1345, this is the only bridge in the city to survive World War II.

Cruising The Wonderful Canal du Midi In Carcassonne France
By MARANMaran2525. Friday, February 3, 2012 7:09:59 AM
Carcassonne France. This is a tale of two cities in the Languedoc – Carcassonne (the walled city on a rocky outcrop) and ….. Carcassonne (the modern city). Actually, they count as one, despite the fact they are clearly separate entities.
Carcassonne France
The fortified city – Cite de Carcassonne – is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has a double ring of massive ramparts with 53 towers. Medieval walls are built on Roman foundation, emphazing the importance of Carcassonne France in historical times, standing as it does in a gap between the Massif Central and the Pyrenees, where two roads cross (Atlantic to Mediterranean, Massif Central to Spain). It became an important trading centre that changed hands frequently by marriage or force of arms.
The UNESCO citation recognize pioneering conservation work done in the 19th-century by architect Eugene Viollet-le-Duc. The old city was scheduled for demolition, but saved after a local campaign and restored over many years, not altogether authentically. Even so, the effect is stunning. Only a few hundred people live there now, many of them traditional craftpeople. Just walk around, enjoying the walls, towers, 12th-century castle, Cathedral (Basilica-Saint-Nazarius, begun in the 11th-century) and ancient streets.
The lower city (Ville Basse) across the River Aude was founded by King Louis IX in 1247, after Carcassonne submitted to French rule. This medieval city grew rich on the manufacture of shoes and textiles, declined in the 17th century and nowadays thrives on tourism – three million visitors arrive to see the old city each year, supplemented by those cruising the wonderful Canal du Midi (also a UNESCO World Heritage Site). The Medieval heart of modern Carcassonne France (Bastide Saint-Louise) is itself a delightful enclave centered on Place Carnot with its Fountains of Neptune (1770) and traditional market.

*The Memorial House, an ancient merchant establishment where poet Joe Bousquet lived – he was wounded and paralysed in 1918, and his house is now a museum and cultural centre.
*At Vincent’s Church, begun in the 13th Century – a fine example of ‘Languedoc Gothic’ architecture with a rich interior.
*The harbor area on Canal du Midi – the original canal ran just outside the town, but was brought into Carcassonne between 1787 and 1810.
*The Andre Chenier Garden, created in the 1820s around a memorial to executed King Louis XVI following the restoration of the French monarchy. St Michael’s Cathedral, begun in the 13th century, updated in the 17th century, restorated in 19th century – and still impressive.

Germany’s Oldest Coastal City Bremen Germany
By MARANMaran2525. Tuesday, January 31, 2012 6:21:07 AM
Germany’s oldest coastal city, Bremen Germany started out as a fishing village but has developed to be second only to Hamburg among the country’s ports. The Marktplatz (Market Square) is surrounded by important 13th-century buildings, many of which were restored after World War II.
Bremen Germany
During the Middle Ages, Bremen Germany was one of the strongest members of the Hanseatic League, an alliance of trading guilds that established and maintened a trade monopoly over most of Northern Europe between the 13th and 17th centuries. In 1646 it became a free imperial city.
Many of Bremen’ tourist attractions are found in the Altstadt (Old Town), an historic area surrounded by the Weser River to the Southwest and the moats of the medieval city to the northeast. The town centre is protected by an enormous statue know as Roland, who carries the ‘sword of justice’ and a shield decorted with an imperial eagle. The townspeople believe that as long as the statue stands in the market place, Bremen Germany will survive as a free city. During bombing raids in World War II, great measures were taken to keep the statu safe.
The Marktplatz is dominated by the opulent façade of the Town Hall (Rathaus). The building was erected between 1405 and 1410 in Ghotic style, but the façade was built two centuries later (169-12) in local ‘Weser Renaissance’ style. Across the square from the Rathaus is the Schotting. This magnificent 16th century guildhall features both Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles.
The Bottcherstrasse, running from Marktpaltz to the river, is a medieval alley with a difference. In 1926, local artists renovated the narrow street into a fascinating mixture of Gothic and Art Nouveau. Today it has a good range of boutiques, cafes, a museum and art galleries. Nearby are two adjoining buildings medieval objects d’art and furniture; and the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum, contains sculptures and paintings by Bernard Hoetger. Between the Cathedral and the river is Schnoor, a small area of crooked medieval lanes and fishing house, now occupied by cafes, craft shops and galleries.
Since 1036, every year in October Bremen has hosted Freimarkt, one of the world’s oldest and in Germany one of the biggest continuously celebrated fairground festivals.

*Marktplatz – dominated by the opulent town hall. Two statues stand in the square; the ‘city’s Protector’ bearing Durendart (the Sword of Justice) and Die Stadtmusikanten which portrays the donkey, cat, dog and rooster of the Grimm brother’s fairytales.
*The Rathaus – the town hall located in Marktplatz. Built in the Gothic style it is over 600 years old and is still in use today – the senate meet here every Tuesday.
*Bottcherstrasse – a ‘secret’ street where you are greeted by ‘the bringer of Light’, a gold leaved wal sculpture.

Beautiful Biarritz France Is About Sand And Sea
By MARANMaran2525. Monday, January 30, 2012 6:45:43 AM
Biarritz France, this seaside resort lies on the Atlantic coast, facing the Bay of Biscay on the Cote des Basques, close to the Spanish border. It is popular with tourists and surfers alike, offering some of the best beaches in Europe. In 1854 Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, built a summer palace here (now simply the very grand Hotel du Palais). After that, European royalty were frequent visitors and the prestigious status of Biarritz was assured. Happily, those of lesser pedigree are now welcomed, though this does remain a distinctly classy place.
Biarritz France
The architecture of Biarritz France is not typically that of the Basque country, but rather reflects the taste of the well-heeled Belle Epoque aristos who spent their summers here. Art deco villas rub shoulders eith mock chateaux and romantically gabled house. But when all is said and done, Biarritz is about sand and sea.
The sweeping Grand Plage runs on to the Plage Miramar. A walk around the rocky headland will reveal the old fishing port with its tiny cottages, the impressive Rocher de la Vierge….. and thoe majestic Atlantic breakers crashing onto the exposed Plage de la Cote des Basque, which attracts the world’s best surfers for an annual festival.
There is a strong English connection, remembered in the immaculate golf course and triving professional rugby club. There is also a little museum of local history in the former Anglican Church, featuring photographs of all the British aristocrats who helped to establish the reputation of Biarritz France. Open-air activities such as horse riding and tennis are widely available, and the spa element has not been forgotten – there are a number of pampering establishments offering thalassotherapy (as you ask, it’s the noble process of applying marine benefits to the cause of health and beauty). Enjoy!

Amazing Verona Italy Is The Home Of Ill - Starred Romeo And Juliet
By MARANMaran2525. Monday, January 30, 2012 6:32:53 AM
Strategically located where the River Adage emerges from the Alps onto the Northern Italian plain, Verona Italy is near Lake Garda on a loop of the fast-flowing river. It is a city of bridges (ten of them) and was once the most important town owned by Venice on the mainland (terra firma). Richly endowed with picturesque streets and squares, art and architecture, it is hardly possible to imagine a city that has a more appealing character. It is, quite rightly, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Verona Italy
Verona Italy city’s history is well illustrated by famous monuments and buildings. The amphitheatre built around 30 AD is the third largest in Italy and there are other Roman remains, such as a theatre and the built Gavi Arch.
The 4th century shrine of Verona‘s patron saint, St Zeno, lies beneath the stunning Basilica of San Zeno Maggiore, a triumph of Romanesque architecture built in the 12th century. Other Romanesque masterpieces include the small Basilica of San Lorenzo, the large Church of Santa Maria Antica and the striking Cathedral, with its fine Gothic interior. Indeed, there are so many fascinating churches in Verona Italy that a month could be spent viewing them.
The old town’s central features is the elongated Piazza del Erbe, once the Roman forum and now the scene of a lively market. This must surely be one of the most delightful old squares in all Italy. Nearby Piazza dei Signori is surrounded by palaces, including one now serving as the Town Hall. The Loggia del Consiglio is one of the finest early Renaissance buildings in the country, crowned by statues of famous Veronans. The city walls are a 15th century architectural statement, that were built to serve both a defensive and aesthetic function – marvel at the Porta del Palio.

Interesting Facts About Iceland
* Most Icelanders do not have a family name (such as Johnson, Smith, etc). So children have a given name and then father’s-name-son or father’s-name-daughter. Thus:
1. Jon has a son named Thor Jonsson and a daughter named Hafdis Jonsdottir.
2. Thor Jonsson has a son named Bjarni Thorsson and a daughter named Frida Thorsdottir.
3. And so forth.
* Icelandic women don’t take the husband’s name when they marry, chiefly because the husband doesn’t have a family name to take.
* Because they don’t have surnames, Icelanders are listed in the telephone directory alphabetically by first name.
* Because they don’t have surnames, it is not appropriate to call an Icelander by Mr. or Ms. Almost all Icelanders use the first name with everyone, including the president of Iceland.
* The English word geyser comes from Icelandic (perhaps the only Icelandic word imported into English). Geysir is the name of a famous geyser in Iceland (which, sadly, no longer erupts).
* The Icelanders speak the Icelandic language, which is used only in Iceland and among Icelandic expatriates chiefly in Scandinavia and North America. Icelandic is very similar to old Norwegian of about 1,000 years ago.
* There are only about 270,000 Icelanders in the country. About half of them live in the capital Reykjavik and its suburbs.
* Iceland is the world’s oldest democracy. Its parliament (Althingi) was founded about 1,000 years ago.
* Iceland has vast amounts of water because it rains so much. Icelandic water is so clean and pure that it is piped into the city and to the kitchen taps in the home without any treatment (no chlorination needed).
* Urban Icelandic homes do not need a water heater or a furnace for heating. Steam and hot water are piped into the city from natural geysers and hot springs for use in homes and buildings.
* Because of its bountiful water supply and many rivers, Iceland has vast reserves of hydroelectric power. Electricity is so inexpensive that aluminum ore (bauxite) is shipped in to the country, made into aluminum, and the aluminum ingots are shipped out again. (Smelting aluminum requires vast amounts of electricity.)
* The weather in Iceland is not as cold as you might think. (Winter is a heck of a lot colder in Minnesota than it is in Iceland!) The climate is relatively mild because of the influence of the Atlantic Ocean’s Gulf Stream. Average winter daytime temperature in Reykjavik is 31 degrees F. (1 degrees C.)
* Iceland is very green, because there is so much water and the climate is mild. (There are not many trees however.) People like to say that Iceland should be named Greenland and Greenland should be named Iceland. I used to tell my Icelandic friends that they should change the name of their country from Iceland to Waterland.
* Iceland lies just south of the Arctic Circle. Winter nights and summer days are long. On December 21 in the capital, the sun rises at 11:30 a.m. and sets at 3:30 p.m. On June 21 the sun sets about midnight and rises at 3:00 a.m. It never gets darker than twilight at night during the late spring and early summer.
* During a recent survey, Icelanders ranked the highest of all European countries in expressing general satisfaction with their lives.
* Icelanders rank near the top of world nations in the per capita rate of connection to the Internet.
* Iceland has no army, navy, or air force. It does have a Coast Guard.

The Great Barrier Reef, Australia
By Lindalindatram. Sunday, October 23, 2011 12:26:32 PM
The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef in the world, roughly parallel to the coast of Queensland, Australia, for almost 2,000km. Australia has almost 1/5th of the world's reef area and most is located in the GBR.
Washed by the warm waters of the South-West Pacific Ocean the perfect environment is created for the world's largest system of coral reefs. The Great Barrier Reef is of such pristine condition that it was listed by the World Heritage Trust as a protected site and is therefore managed by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Authority to ensure that its beauty is maintained for many generations to come.
Visitors in their thousands come to marvel at the spectacular sight seeing opportunities that is unique to our area. The Wet Tropics World Heritage listed Rainforest on one side and the Great Barrier Reef on the other. No other place in the world offers such diversity so close to each other.
Off the coastline are outer edge ribbon reefs which may be up to 25 kilometres long. This is the outer limits of the continental shoreline of prehistoric times. The ribbon reefs can be seen by taking one of the daily outer reef cruises offered by local operators. One of the best ways to view the reef is to take a low flying scenic flight over it, especially at low tide where you'll see the breadth and diversity of this great living wonder.
The waters of the Great Barrier Reef provide the world's busiest and most varied marine habitats. Marine life is in abundance. From the many species of coral to the sought after Black Marlin and all sizes and species of fish in-between. The varied colours of the reef's fish and other marine life will astound the visitor with colour combinations that artists haven't even dreamed of. It is the largest of the world’s 552 World Heritage Areas, covering 347,000 km There are more than 2800 catalogued reefs in the area.
Although stretching more than 2000 kilometres offshore from Queensland, it is only at Cape Tribulation, just north of Port Douglas that the reefs come right to the shore and meets the tropical rainforests of the Wet Tropics. With over 1000 islands which are easily accessible from North Queensland and coastal cities like Cairns and Port Douglas. The coral islands are very popular tourist attractions. Some even have varied vegetation including rainforest and are encircled by the coral reefs. Accommodation on the islands that are inhabited ranges from camping grounds to bungalows and luxurious resorts.

EGYPT- THE LEGENDARY LAND
By J_Nmeomeojeni. Thursday, August 18, 2011 7:20:03 AM
Egypt always reminds us about the Great Pyramids – the Pharaoh’s resting place, the imposing Nile River – the longest river in the world; the legends, the civilization – one of the greatest civilations in the world.
Spending nearly 24 hours flight time, the visitors will arrive in Cairo – Africa’s largest city stands undauntedly on the banks of the Nile River. In the early morning, the weather in Cairo is slightly cold, but at midday the people will feel the desert’s heart. Admist the clear sky and deep blue Nile River is the dark gray of Cairo City. The dusty roads, the buildings and needless of painting and roofs because rain is very rare here. However, Cairo attracts quite a lot of visitors thanks to the Pyramids over 5,000 years ago. Among these, 145 m Pyramid of Khufu with over 2 million tones of stone blocks, each of which weighs 2 tons, was buit in 20 years by 100,000 laborers. Great Pyramid of Khufu is the only worldwide wonder among the seven wonders of the ancient world. People made an imbalanced comparision “ Man fears time but time fears Pyramid” to see the grandeur of the pyramids. Cairo is cold at night and twinkling light on top of the towers are legends, echoing stories about the Pharaoh. Because Cairo was built by the Egyptians, in this thousand-year city, the Islamic architecture and culture are seen everywhere. Besides the pyramids, Cairo also has many pointed churches, the city has more than colored 1,000 churches, more than 1,000 towers like starry skies. So, Cairo is also known under the name “The City of thousands of towers.” From the peak of the tower, one could look down to behold the panoramic city, and it has become a simple of Cairo today.
In Cairo, the visitors cannot miss visiting Egyptian Museum – on of the world’s largest museums, with countless artifacts and relics in the ancient time with 250,000 items. All dictate a great civilization 5,000 years ago, along with 11 mummies under Egyptian pharaoh’s dynasties. Coming here, tourists seem to get lost in the dreamlike world of ancient Egypt, and become delighted at the mysterious stories of Cairo City. With 51 show rooms, the Egyptain Museum is truly an ideal place for the visitors to learn more about one of the most developed civilization in the world, the stately Pharaohs on the splendid thrones, surrounded by the singing, dancing imperial concubines or the heroic combats on the bas relief.
As the world’s longest river (6,690km), the Nile River is divided into two branches, and open in the scorching hot desert a vast triangular fertile delta, of which Cairo is the peak. From ancient times, the Nile was the source of residents living on both banks, and the River has created one of the key cradles of human civilizations. Nile River is dark blue, soft, flowing gently across the city of Cairo, along the River are the two tree-lined roads, and coming here, it is best for the tourists to stay at the hotels on these two roads to experience all the hidden beauty of Cairo. The Nile River is closely attached to the life of the Egyptians, so in the first ten weeks each year, when the color of the Nile River turns into green (a sign of torrential flood), the people are eager to gather on both sides of the river bank to organize “The Night of the Tear-Drop”. In August, when water of the Nile River overflows the vast land, the people once again greet jubilantly. Gradually, it becomes a real festival, “Festival of the Nile.” This is one of the festivals, provokes much curiosity in far-and-wide visitors to Egypt. As for the people, they consider the Nile as deity, so every year, they celebrate festival of the Nile to express their sentiments.

Kieler Woche / Kieler Week
By hörnchen. Monday, March 21, 2011 7:21:22 PM
Kiel
Am Anfang kommt wohl jeder am HBF an. Dort ist auch das ende der Förde im Form der Hörn. Direkt am ende liegt der Kiel Hörn Campus.
[/img] Sicherlich ein Highlight für den Architektur Fotofritzen. Eine reihe alter Gebäude findet man(n) in der Innenstadt. Wobei dort die dichte Bebauung keinen optimalen Fotostandpunkt zulässt. In der Kieler Woche findet man(n) Innerhalb der Stadt zahlreiche Stände und Bühnen wo die Post abgeht. Hier ist Ellenbogen Mentalität gefragt. Entlang der Kiel Linie findet der Besucher weitere Bühnen und ein Aquarium welches den Namen wirklich nicht verdient. Etwas Weiter oben findet man(n) dann den Heimathafen der Gorch Fock. Noch weiter nach oben den Nord Ostsee Kanal, dort kommen diese riesigen Traumschiffe durch, weiter zu den Olympia Zentrum der den Seglern vorbehalten ist. Von dort geht es zu den Startbahnen der Außenförde, um hier richtig gute Bilder zu machen muss man(n) auf ein Begleitschiff ein chartern die in der Kieler Woche ohne mühe zu finden sind. Wenn der Fotofritze nun etwas mehr Natur haben möchte rate ich in Richtung Dänisch Nienhof zu gehen. Dort sind diese Panoramen machbar welche von den Hügeln über die Felder in die Ostsee den blick freigeben. 
[/img] Eben Postkarten Motiv. Auf der anderen Seite der Förde, Richtung HDW und Schwentine geht es sofort hinauf zu Möltenort.
Dort vor dem Denkmal der gefallenen Uboot Fahrer
[/img]
kommt der Fotofritze den Schiffchen in der Segler Parade am nächsten. Aber auch hier gilt, richtig gute Bilder kommen nur vom Begleitschiff zustande. Die Preise waren ca. 75€ . Noch weiter oben befindet sich das Laboe U-boot Denkmal welches zu begehen ist. Dort sind Bilder von der Umgebung zu machen. Ich empfehle den Förderwanderweg. Kurz vor Stein gibt es die Steilküste. Hier findet man(n) Kiter und andere Wassersportler sowie scharen von Mehlschwalben die in der Steilküste ihre Nester haben.
[/img]
So das sollte fürs erste reichen.
Eine Reise wert ist das Flecken Erde auch ohne der Kieler Woche immer. Ein paar Impressionen...
English, Excuse for German links. Proper names are not able to do translated becoming
At the beginning everybody probably comes in the CENTRAL STATION. There this is also ends of the Förde in the form of the Hörn. Directly in ends Kiel Hörn campus lies. Absolutely a highlight for the architecture photographers. One lines up of old buildings one finds (n) in the city centre And there the thick cultivation admits no optimum photo position. In the Kiel Week one finds (n) within the town numerous states and stages where the post goes off. Here elbow mentality is asked.Along Kiel Line the visitor finds other stages and a aquarium which the names really not deserving. Some wide on top finds one (n) then the port of registry Gorch Fock . Even further upwards the north the Baltic Sea canal these gigantic dream ships come through there, further to Olympia centre to the yachtsmen is left. From there it goes to the start roads of the Außenförde to make here really good pictures one must charter (n) on a consort ship in the Kiel week without strives itself are to be found.
If the photographer liked to have now a little bit more nature I advise in the direction of Danish Nienhof to go. There these panoramas are feasibly which of the hills above the fields in the Baltic Sea him look give a holiday. Just postcards motive. On the other side of the Förde, direction HDW and Schwentine it goes immediately up to Möltenort. There before monument of the fallen Uboot of drivers the photographer to the little ships comes to the yachtsman most near parade. But also here is valid, really good pictures come about only from the consort ship. The prices were approx. 75€. Even further on top there is the Laboe submarine the monument which is to be committed. There pictures are to be made by the surroundings. I recommend conveyor footpath . Shortly before stone there are the Cliff. Here one finds (n) Kiter and other water sportsmen as well as rally from flour swallows in the Cliff her nests have.
