Black & White Photos from my Travels (Part Two)

#Black_White_Photos_Two
Walking the streets of Sorrento Italy & FINALLY a motorcycle
 with a headlight on.
 To get the effect i wanted for this photo
Aboard the Tall Ship  R Tucker Thompson & heading out to the Pacific Ocean
The mission of the trust that runs it is Learning for Life Through the Sea & was launched in 1985 from New Zealand 
Visiting the Wall of Medieval Armor in London England
 Which when i researched it, was believed to have been 5000 -10,000 Knights which would of been approximately 6% of the population
The rest were 12% landowners, 40% farmers / craftsmen with obligations to the landlords, 32% serfs & 10% were slaves
Abandoned House in Eastern Europe which in many cases was from once thriving industrial areas of factories, mills & warehouses that becomes obsolete thus the people move on leaving their dwelling
I am near the Austrian border which is a landlocked country surrounded by Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary & Slovenia


 

Having some samples in Porto Portugal
Did you know; Port Wine has a higher alcohol content caused by the addition of distilled grape spirits that fortify the wine plus they halt fermentation before all the sugar is converted to alcohol which results in  20% of alcohol per bottle 

The iconic Peggys Cove (Canada) is known for its famous lighthouse (1915), granite rocks & quaint fishing village 

Just a field ( jajajaja) but a cool photo😎

From 1706-1718 The Republic of Pirates were based out of Nassau Bahamas during the Golden Age of Piracy..... hence how i found this & assuming saluting their past history
Leaving the Everglades of Florida  ( the River of Grass is huge ...11,000 sq km or 4300 sq miles) 
 and capturing sundown in B&W

 Exploring 1 of 90 forts on the tiny island of Bermuda 
Why so many you ask.....it was after the American War of Independence & Britain was protecting itself against possible attacks


Waking the Boston Waterfront which is now over 70kms (43 miles) of piers, beaches, wharves, parks & shorelines

In Eastern Europe for this great piece of architecture which i learn is influenced by religion 

Roaming around Valencia Spain
