Iran.

Just three pics? Sorry, can't happen.

Why? Isfahan, for a start: - "Isfahan is half the world ..." Any given mosque or madrassa:

The webcam at Brooks Falls is on my 'favourites' tab. When my 4 year old grandson comes over we usually spend some time watching the bears. I was really surprised a couple of weeks ago to see a big wolf standing at the tops of the falls trying to catch fish. I didn't realise that they had adopted that hunting method and also I thought they would have been too cautious about the bears to stay there long.
 
Europe 2011

Holzbrücke Bad Säckingen (1700) - longest roofed wooden bridge in Europe. Crosses the Rhine connecting Bad Sackingen (Germany) to Stein (Switzerland)

HAUT-KOENIGSBOURG in Alsace. A medieval castle rebuilt by the Kaiser in 1900 - 1908 before the area was reclaimed by the French after WW1.

Looking out from the castle ramparts towards the Black Forest and Germany. Unfortunately it was a bit smoggy that day.

# Thank you. :) Reminds me of another trip, to my ancestral home in Aberdeenshire.

Ancestors in the cemetery at Forbes, Aberdeenshire and their farm Bithnie in the background.

I gather that it might just be a little cold up there tomorrow with snowfalls forecast down to 100 metres!

An icy blast of a kind not seen for five years is set to hit Tasmania, causing temperatures to plummet and snow to fall to 100 metres — with those planning to take to the wilderness warned if they get into trouble, help may not be able to reach them.

LOL. Just checked why we didn’t go to the Sudeley after Snowshill In May ‘17 and was informed that “‘WE’ thought the entrance fee was too high”. Oh how life has changed. :cool: :D

I stopped worrying about things like that a while ago. When you consider the cost and effort to get there, then it's a drop in the ocean. Mind you I normally travel by myself so it's a lot easier to make a decision. I remember being horrified when someone was in Istanbul and didn't go to the Topkapi Palace because it was too expensive (WTF)
