We pass by this enclosure every time we go to buy grocery from our new apartment here in Ponta Delgada, the capital city of the Sao Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal. We always stop by to say hi to the horsie and the cows. They have a lot of fresh green pasturelands around and they look happy and well cared for. I just wish the horsie wasn´t chained but there is a busy road very close to the enclosure so I think the owner just wants to make sure the horse stays safe. Photo taken yesterday.

Today I present to you the beautiful Belem Tower in Lisbon, which I had the opportunity to meet during a 24 hour stopover in Lisbon during my vacation a few years ago, by chance my wife and I walked along the coast and we were pleasantly surprised by this image so beautiful, that today I want to share with all of you.

Nice photo!

It is Thursday again and time to share European photography.
This time photo will be coloured green, but not the usual way with some nice landscape or nature motive, but it will be one of a kind green sky as a result of Northern Lights also known as Aurora Borealis.
Enjoy!

The photography shows the south façade of Schönbrunn Palace, en Viena. As it can be seen it is massive building painted with the characteristic yellow of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This building was the summer palace of the imperial family. The photography was taken from the hill where the Gloriette is located.

Hello everybody. My picture was taken this Tuesday at the Sylvensteinsee. It is a large reservoir in the municipality of Lenggries (Germany). It is not far from there to Austria. The lake is 7km long and 2km wide.

The City of Stuttgart - My Hometown
This is a photo of my Hometown Stuttgart in the south of Germany. That´s where I was born and grew up. As little time as I spend there, I am always drawn to this city.

In that photo you can see the Soccer Stadium of our local club VfB Stuttgart as well as the Mercedes-Benz Museum on the right hand side next to it.

Beautiful panoramic shot Sofia but make sure to meet the required 30 word description minimum next time ;)

Thanks for the observation @phortun! I completely forgot that detail... :(

Tavira is a cute little city from Portugal. A nice way to spend a few hours is to go see what is left of the castle and take a walk on the walls.

After doing the Greenway of lake Como, a hiking trail following the margin of lake Como, in northern Italy, walked a little further to know Mennagio, one of the lake's villages. And was presented with this amazing sunset view, with the mist crawling into the lake's margins.
