Travelling: The beauty of Honduras

Travelling: Beauty of Honduras

With the latest problems in Honduras it’s easy to forget about a very important part of the country, the tourism.

It is indeed one of the poorest countries in the region and South America but it’s plenty covered with beautiful spots all over the country. I would like to invite you guys to explore with me the beauty of the country and the persons within the Gallery I linked to this Blog post on Flickr.

Travelling in Honduras: Tegucigalpa

The capital of Honduras, Tegucigalpa, is build upon many hills and very steep hills sometimes but it’s definitely a very interesting place with sometimes a tremendous difference between the old classical Spanish style and the latest buildings from western companies whom are using low wage workers to make their products.

Travelling in Honduras: Caribbean coast.

If you go towards the coast you come to see the rolling green hills with the local flowers before you get to the Caribbean sea. This is when you get to the beautiful blue colored sea with the islands just a short boat trip away.

The local population is very charming and welcoming to tourists and are happy to share with you the beauty of their country.

Do you have a Honduras travel experience? Please share it with me in the comments.

Amsterdam Street Images.
The following images are a few images I took during the car-free Sunday in September in Amsterdam.

It’s really nice to see that the people took their living room to the street to make a statement about the use of the streets.
True, normally the weather ain’t that good that it’s possible but still, it’s great. I think it’s as well about the spirit in Amsterdam that when there’s something going on, the whole city center is enjoying the party. Anyone who have been at a Queensday knows how the party can be.

So I would like to invite you guys to this small selection of edited images from Amsterdam and the living room on the streets. At the end we always have the blue cushion to sit on, isn’t?? To enjoy the beautiful sight over the Canals.

If you are in Amsterdam, just try to stroll around and enjoy the spirit of the city, you’ll be positively surprised.

Panoramic landscape picture of the Zaanse Schans in Noord Holland.
This picture is made from various others pictures to produce at the end this panoramic one.
I was standing on the windmill itself, very funny indeed…

Images from Zaanse Schans and Haarlem

These are a few images I’ve taken while being for a weekend in Zaandam and Haarlem.

Thankfully there where plenty of opportunities to take plenty of pictures and these are the first batch from them.

• The first Picture is from an Old green door within a windmill. It’s one of the few windmills which are still active and accessible.
• The other picture is from the same Windmill but from a bit further away..
• Third photo is from me myself and I
• The last one is a HDR picture from an old building within the center square from Haarlem. This is a HDR night picture.

Hope you guys enjoy these pictures..
