HBM - A lovely harbourside view in Oslo, where we spotted a couple of the city's police force enjoying a break and a snack on their bicycle patrol.

Bench with a view

Once from the archives because we haven't had a sunny, warm day here in a while.

This bench with a breathtaking view is in the Exotic Garden in Monaco (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jardin_Exotique_de_Monaco), looking down into the principality from the hills.

This was taken a few years ago - I know the garden closed during the Covid pandemic, and I'm not sure whether it has reopened yet. When open, it's definitely worth a visit when you're tired of admiring supercars and megayachts!

Tres figuras en el muelle de Puerto de la Cruz. Las cañas, como preguntas al mar. El muro, testigo de historias que el viento se lleva. ¿Hablan del temporal que viene, del pez que siempre escapa o de la vecina que olvida la ropa bajo la lluvia? Nadie lo sabe. Solo el mar susurra: „Lo importante no es lo que se dice, sino lo que se espera.

A veces, las mejores historias no se cuentan,
se sienten.
Como la brisa en este muelle.

Bankmoment beim Schloss Ljubljana

Auf dem schlichten Tisch liegen Früchte, Brot und Krüge, während leise Saiten den Moment tragen.
Im gemeinsamen Mahl verdichtet sich das Jetzt, warm und unaufgeregt.
Hinter ihnen erinnert der Totentanz daran, wie nah Leben und Vergänglichkeit beieinander stehen.

Feliz lunes de banco.
Donde el ruido se disuelve y las ideas encuentran su forma —

Discrètement, je passe - Diskret gehe ich vorbei - Discreetly, I pass by.

The chimney is what is left from an old plant where timber was sawed and prepared for several purposes. The buildings behind it seem to have been inspired on cruise ships. This can be seen at Playa de Poniente (West Beach), Gijón (Xixón).

Displayed as a landmark at Calle Mnuel García Conde, Oviedo.
Oviedo is the capital of Asturias region, where there is no wine production. Instead, they produce cider from the apples that abond in the region. Local restaurants set tables with specific cider glasses, which are replaced when wine is ordered - wine from other regions or countries.
