Visited Belchite. The town was the focus of fierce battles during the Spanish civil war, being captured by Republican forces as they sought to reconquer Aragon which had endorsed the coup d'etat of Franco.

The town, whilst heavily bombarded, did survive the war, many of the buildings in these images were still inhabited into the 1950s. But Franco wanted to make an example of the town, being one of few the Republicans captured after Nationalists had seized parts of the country. So a new town was built, soulless and suburban, and now home to a population a third the size of what it was before the civil war.

Franco insisted the old town be left to rot as a monument to what communism does, ironic of course as it is the clearest example of what fascism does.

Highly recommend visiting. The area was a front line in the civil war and therefore there is a lot of history around.

The ruins of the Saint Augustin convent in Belchite, a ruined town. Barbed wire cuts across the image in the foreground.
The town gate in Belchite is an orange brick building with an inscription that reads "Prohibida la Blasfema", which translates to Blasphemy Prohibited.
Among the ruins of Belchite, a red brick church (San Martín) and its town stand up among destroyed buildings and undergrowth on a bright sunny day.
Looking down the Calle Mayor, the main street of Belchite, towards the town gate. Ruined buildings and piles of bricks are visible either side.of the street. The sky is bright blue.

Processing photos from our recent cruise.

This is the Salmon Eye in Hardangerfjord, Norway. It's both a floating art installation and a Michelin-starred restaurant with the sort of cost for a meal you'd expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant in Norway.

A bright, clear day with a pale blue sky over and behind mountains in the distance, themselves pale with haze. The mountains are brightly lit except on the far left where they fold back away from the direct sunshine. The peaks along the ridge further back on the right are topped with snow. In front of the mountainous background there is low, sloping green land dotted with groves of trees and isolated buildings. This reaches to a flat stretch of deep blue water on which we're located some distance from land. Midway between our high viewpoint and the nearest shore there is an object on the water, appearing somewhat like a crashed flying saucer. It is a bulbous, metallic, flattened sphere, elongated a little and angled down to look like a rugby ball skipping into the water. The object's scale is hard to determine but easily a couple of dozen metres across at least.

Yosemite
It was early spring, and a quiet snowstorm graced Yosemite National Park. I had the immense honor and privilege of experiencing this iconic place nearly alone—just me, the stillness, and the sound of falling snow. As I stood on the Swinging Bridge, gazing at the majestic Yosemite Falls framed in mist and fresh snow, a sacred hush filled the air.

Yosemite Falls Swinging Bridge Yosemite National Park It was early spring, and a quiet snowstorm graced Yosemite National Park. I had the immense honor and privilege of experiencing this iconic place nearly alone—just me, the stillness, and the sound of falling snow. As I stood on the Swinging Bridge, gazing at the majestic Yosemite Falls framed in mist and fresh snow, a sacred hush filled the air. It was during this visit that I first heard the powerful worship song "Is He Worthy?" by Andrew Peterson. The beauty of creation, the solitude of the moment, and the truth of the lyrics overwhelmed me. My soul could only answer one way— He is.

“Defenseless”

I really don't like having to go to work in the La Défense district near Paris. It's a human anthill where people are mostly in a hurry to get from the train to the office and back again.

The only reason why a visit to this district might be of any interest is for architectural photography, with the many towers covered in glass reflecting each other.

Red Boat and Reflection in the Harbor Close Morning Light Agia Roumeli Crete Greece Nestled at the southern tip of Crete, Agia Roumeli is a small, secluded village that rests where the Samaria Gorge meets the Libyan Sea. This serene destination, with its peaceful beaches and historic ruins, invites travelers to experience a rare fusion of ancient history and stunning natural beauty. Although Agia Roumeli might not be as widely known as other Cretan spots, its charm lies in its quiet isolation, breathtaking landscapes, and profound connection to Crete's storied past. Visitors often reach Agia Roumeli after trekking the Samaria Gorge, one of the most renowned natural wonders in Greece. The rugged terrain, magnificent cliffs, and rich biodiversity make the gorge one of Crete’s most captivating attractions. In addition to nature’s wonders, the village is home to the historic Fortress of Agia Roumeli, which stands as a silent witness to Crete’s tumultuous history of invasions and resistance.

The iconic Lowry Avenue Bridge stretches gracefully over the mighty Mississippi River, offering one of the most stunning perspectives of the Minneapolis skyline. As dusk settles over the city, the bridge’s sleek, modern arch is illuminated in a soft glow, reflecting off the water below in shimmering hues of blue and white.

Dusk The iconic Lowry Avenue Bridge Minneapolis Minnesota The iconic Lowry Avenue Bridge stretches gracefully over the mighty Mississippi River, offering one of the most stunning perspectives of the Minneapolis skyline. As dusk settles over the city, the bridge’s sleek, modern arch is illuminated in a soft glow, reflecting off the water below in shimmering hues of blue and white. In the background, the downtown Minneapolis skyline comes alive with twinkling lights — a dazzling array of skyscrapers, historic buildings, and glowing windows standing tall against the deepening twilight sky. The scene captures the perfect harmony of engineering and artistry, where urban beauty meets the natural flow of the river. It’s a beloved spot for photographers, locals, and visitors alike, especially as the city transitions from golden hour into the magic of night.
