I LOVE this pic!

What a magical view!

Where in Thailand?

One of the earliest examples of urban planning, carried out by Ildefons Cerdà. "a strict grid pattern of equally sized blocks. Long, wide streets cut across the blocks in order to facilitate transport and navigation. Additionally, each of the blocks was made into an octagon, with chamfered corners giving the impression that they were ‘cut off’. According to Cerdà, this detail would provide greater air circulation in the streets, higher visibility around corners and would make it possible for trams to easily turn the corners of the blocks. The blocks were also all oriented in a NW-SE direction so as to ensure that each household received enough natural light each day."

This, to me, is one of the most beautiful and magnificent places in the world!

Every time I see a photo of this place I am amazed because I have never seen a bad photo of this place. This, however, is an exceptionally beautiful shot.

That sunset is spectacular!

The Eye of Sauron after the fall of the tower.

Gorgeous! The person in the yellow jacket is taking in the majestic view…

Lovely in the winter!

I'd love to visit there!

stunning!

Most of the villages are now ghosts of what they were because of wealthy Londoners buying up holiday homes that they only use for a few weeks a year. The cycle is this ; (L = londoner / incomer). L buys house, removes a house for local to occupy, stays for 3 weeks a year, as a consequence, the local shop, pub, dentist and doctor lose trade, hence income. L number 2 and 3 buy houses on the recommendation of L (1), the Dr, Shop, Pub etc lose more trade. This goes on for a few more years with more L's moving in and now complaining that they don't have a shop, pub, Dr, etc and complaining even more that they can't find a cleaner who's willing to work for slave wages. Personally, I hope they all lose vast amounts of money and f**k off back to London and leave us peasants to rebuild and resist them ever being allowed to buy another rural property again. Failing that, anyone up for rounding them all up over the Christmas weekend and driving them at pitchfork point into the river Tamar ?!!!

Now I want to go there!

What a god awful way to live. Apart from the climate and the people, the idea of living in a soulless tower block of flats, regardless of it's proximity to the sea or anywhere else beautiful, gives me the heebeejeebies. In contrast, my wife has just pointed out that at least it's better than living on the street !!!

Outstanding photo

Lonely . . . . .

This is just an astonishing shot with that mist rolling in!

Eeek! It's a face!

My name is Dolomites!

wow, Sant Pau! we were in Barcelona for one day last month and walked from St Pau, what was lovely, to Sagrada Familia. It was a very nice relaxing walk. (and then we visited the Palau de la Musica what blew us both away)

You must have been on the ground for this one.

A LOT of lights.

No urban plan. Compare with Barcelona.
