Alice in Wonderland.

Llandudno is a real life evocation of Alice in Wonderland because it was here, in 1861, that the Liddel family, including little Alice, the inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s fantasy, came for their seaside holiday.

To the right of the plinth there is a bottle labelled 'Drink Me', and when Alice does, just that, to her astonishment, she shrinks small enough to enter the door. down a rabbit hole. But then she finds and eats a cake labelled "Eat me", which causes her to grow to a tremendous size.

I loved these adventures when I was a child, and still occasionally take up the book once more

El edificio es famoso por su sala de oración que contiene más de 200 columnas de madera talladas individualmente.
Algunas de estas columnas de madera datan del siglo X, aunque la estructura fue reconstruida en el siglo XVIII.

Die ehemalige Reichsstadt Dinkelbühl - The Former Imperial City of Dinkelbühl

Ein Blick in den Innenstadtbereich von Dinkelsbühl (Deutschland). Dinkelsbühl war im Heiligen Römischen Reich eine Reichsstadt, die direkt dem Kaiser unterstand und politisch weitgehend autonom war. Dinkelsbühl gehört zu den besonders gut erhaltenen historischen Städten in Süddeutschland. Dinkelsbühl blieb im Zweiten Weltkrieg weitgehend von schweren Zerstörungen verschont, da die Stadt kurz vor Kriegsende im April 1945 kampflos übergeben wurde. Das historische Stadtbild blieb dadurch im Wesentlichen erhalten.

A view into the historic city center of Dinkelsbühl (Germany). Dinkelsbühl was an Imperial City within the Holy Roman Empire, directly subject to the emperor and largely politically autonomous. It is one of the best‑preserved historic towns in southern Germany. Dinkelsbühl was spared major destruction during the Second World War, as the town was surrendered without a fight shortly before the end of the war in April 1945. As a result, its historic townscape has remained essentially intact.

Die meisten Häuser in Grönland sind auf Fels gebaut/aufgeständert und werden durch Holztreppen erschlossen. Damit sind sie im Winter trotz Schnee noch zugänglich und im Sommer versinken sie nicht in Schlamm/ auftauendem Permafrost. Orte ohne felsigen Untergrund bekommen wegen des Klimawandels zunehmend Probleme.

Falaise d'Amont .

Jean-louis Thiaudiere has posted:

La falaise d’amont est l’un des plus vastes sites maritimes de Normandie et abrite de nombreux oiseaux, des cormorans ou même des faucons pèlerins ainsi que des végétaux protégés, comme la criste marine ou le choux sauvage qui se sont adaptés aux vents et aux embruns.

La blancheur de la craie de la falaise d’amont (celle de droite, quand vous regardez la mer depuis la plage) lui a valu d’être longtemps nommée falaise du Blanc-Trait. Dans son roman, « Une vie » Maupassant comparait son arche à un éléphant trempant sa trompe dans la mer.

The cemetery at Upernavik sits on top of a hill and looks out to the sea (as do all Inuit cemeteries). Because of permafrost the coffins are above ground and cemented in. This can only be done in the short summer season so the cement mixer pragmatically stays on site.

Gentoo penguins are the 3rd largest species of penguin. They breed on the Antarctic peninsula and on Subantarctic islands, using snow free areas to build their nest of stones. Often the nests lie quite high up and the birds have to struggle uphill. Downwards they like to toboggan on their bellies;-)

These photos are from Peterman Island where all 3 species of pygoscelis can be watched (apart from gentoo also Adelie/ Pygoscelis adeliae and chinstrap/Pygoscelis antarcticus). Visitors should keep their distance and never block the birds' way to the sea.

HBM from Llandudno Station

Amelia has posted:

The station was in effect closed. No booking office, and the main foyer, where this bench is, was also closed. There was a side gate open for those who wanted to catch a train, but I don't know what they did about buying tickets. Is this typical of the railway in Llandudno? Maybe a local could tell me more.

Fountains Abbey from the water meadows

Amelia has posted:

The water meadows were covered in buttercups, but also there was speedwell, yellow rattle, lady's smock etc. Perfect. We were lucky that we got there early before the crowds, and the melting heat.

Fountains Abbey is a ruined Cistercian monastery near Ripon in North Yorkshire, England. It was founded in 1132, the monastery was dissolved in 1539 as part of the English Reformation. Even in its current state, Fountains is described by Historic England as "the best preserved of English abbeys and the finest picturesque ruin.

The abbey is a Grade I listed building owned by the National Trust and is part of the designated Studley Royal Park including the Ruins of Fountains Abbey UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Welsh Government is obliged to have signs both in Welsh and English. Just as well as because the only signpost that we as tourists could understand was Pier a Phromenad ! ;-)

We found the Railway Station.
