Lighthouse and Hotel/Restaurant (HFF)

nobody@ipernity.com (Robert Swanson) — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 17:47:15 +0000

Taken during our visit to Namibia on our 2018 World Cruise.

This lonely lighthouse on Pelican Point might be interesting by itself, but there is a working restaurant also located at the very end of the sand spit near the port of Walvis Bay.

(possible update in 2026, the restaurant is no longer listed on Google Maps)

Nothing around. The only view is the harbor, seals, and ships.

Seems to be a working ATON.

Our lunch stop. This was in Scottsdale, Arizona. Convenient, the light rail was just outside the door.

Maui, 2007, Chinese New Year. We joined a happy group at a local restaurant, had a great dinner, and then were entertained by some youth lion dancers.

This woman is "feeding the lion", passing in money for good luck for the new year.

The proceeds went to the youth organization.

At the Yank Sing in San Francisco. The food was good, but this is a very fancy restaurant in the financial district.

The Tables Are Ready (HTT,H.A.N.W.E.)

Street scene in St. Johns, Newfoundland. Our cruise stopped for a Sunday in this lovely port. Nothing much was open, but later in the day the main street was jumping (screech anyone?)

I really liked the paint job on the Commercial Chambers building.

So these tables aren't in use, but they are ready.

Didn't expect that I would be taking "street photographs", but the fellow on the left had some business or other here, so he became part of the street scene.

Decorated Table for "Oscars Night"

During our South America cruise in 2008, the cruise line went out of their way to have "special" nights in the main dining room. Each time, all new decorations were put up. Certainly made for a festive evening.

This table is decorated for "Oscars Night". We were at sea when Hollywood had its special night.

Some delicious dim sum.

Taken at an excellent Chinese restaurant in San Antonio, Texas. When we have the chance, we enjoy this style of food.

Dumplings on the left, sticky rice on the right.

For the Sunday Challenge, we definitely associate this style of food with Asia. Have enjoyed dim sum particularly in Hong Kong.

Korean Chicken at Arisun, Sydney (H.A.N.W.E.)

Robert Swanson has posted:

We stayed in Sydney quite near to Chinatown. The Arisun Korean restaurant was just a few doors down.

Their fried chicken was wonderful.

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND (really Merry Christmas to all on Ipernity!)

The restaurant was an interesting experience, because they were constantly playing Korean music videos on multiple screens.

We visited the restaurant in Mandeville, near Fountainbleau State Park. Excellent oysters and crab cakes.

An hour later a tornado went through the area.

This restaurant is now closed, there are still branches of Acme around, check their website, 2022

We visited the New Orleans area in 2016. Had lunch at this branch of the well-known oyster restaurant, Acme Oyster House.

I used the phone to grab a picture of the neon lights and table in the restaurant. About an hour later, a tornado ran through the same area, causing much damage and some deaths. Makes you think.

(The Mandeville, Louisiana, location we visited was later closed, but there are still plenty of branches of this restaurant open in the New Orleans area, as of 2022)

El Faralito Restaurant in El Rito, New Mexico (HBM)

We were told about this place by some other folks at the RV park where we were staying. The small town of El Rito, New Mexico is pretty remote, but very interesting, and worth a visit.

The highlight for us was enjoying a dinner at El Farolito. This tiny restaurant consistently wins statewide awards for their food. They were very friendly and welcoming.
