Llandudno, a place in Wales

An attractive resort region with its beautiful beach to the north



They always talked about the beaches, but I was impressed with the surroundings, and the clean, cool air. Feel something different from one of the uniqueness of mainland England, specifically Wales.


Walking around the area and you'll feel the warmth of Victorian times, that's very moving. Glad faces all around me, someone seemed to observe every curve of the rocky castle building there.


You should not miss their local culinary, and you should also try the local beer and other specialty drinks. Its sensation is very entertaining.

Bastille Day's Fireworks

The celebration of July 14 which gives meaning to the history of the French Revolution over 200 years ago



The day before I watched the airplane aerobatic fly over the city, and following various other events, day and night, say music, dance and fireworks displaying the background of the Eiffel Tower.


You're lucky to see a military parade along the Champs-Elysees in the morning, and various other events in French national day celebrations. So impressive!

I became one of the other Parisian crowds, and this year all went well, although security seemed to be closer to every corner of the city.

Bastille Day this year

Day of commemoration raid of Bastille prison fortress in Paris 1789



I may be lucky today in Paris, had previously witnessed three days ago when the rehearsal for July 14th, French National Day. The enthusiastic faces around me gaze at the sky.


There is always a series of activities to celebrate the national day in the country, say fireworks, mass dances or perhaps parades. In front of me a jet plane crossed several times to form a beautiful formation in the sky.


Four consecutive photographs are the day of the rehearsal and the last two photos are on the day of the celebration. I thought it looked interesting there.

Lake Bled, Hidden but Beautiful

Small eastern European countries and often missed by the tourists



You have to admit the beauty of this small country, and I have to spend some time on Lake Bled. See a castle in the middle of a splendid lake, 10 centuries above a 140-meter-high cliff.


You can walk close to the edge of the lake, though the air is cool enough, and the geese and ducks swim casually under the blue sky above. Beautiful!


I thought you should not forget to taste some of their culinary, delicious cream egg pastries, the legendary Bled cream cake.
