“Overlooking Tbilisi”

Narikala is an ancient fortress overlooking Tbilisi and the Mtkvari (Kura) River.

The fortress consists of two walled sections on a steep hill between the sulfur baths and the botanical gardens of Tbilisi. On the lower court there is the recently restored St Nicholas church.

“Betlemi Street Stairs”

On the steep slopes between the Narikala fortress and the old town of Tbilisi, the Betlemi Street Stairs offer superb views of the city below, and the stunning Mother of Georgia statue nearby.

These streets meander between the old brick houses clinging to the slope, with a few shaded terraces allowing a well-deserved break.

“Kaleidoscope House”

In its heyday, mosaic stained glass was a common architectural feature of Tbilisi. Sadly most examples have been lost to time – but there are a few buildings that still boast gorgeous rainbow windows.

One of Tbilisi’s most recognisable landmarks, the “Kaleidoscope House” has large multi-coloured glass windows on all three sides of its front stairway. When the afternoon sun hits at just the right angle, it paints a colourful pattern onto the stairs and wooden balustrades.

“Zémo Kalaki”

Sultanishani Street is a good example of an anonymous street in Zemo Kalaki, the former royal district of Tbilisi.

It is completely faded, far from the not so distant animated streets and the famous caravanserais of the Silk Road.

“Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi”

The Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi (commonly known as Sameba) is the third-tallest Eastern Orthodox cathedral in the world and one of the largest religious buildings in the world by total area. Sameba is a synthesis of traditional styles dominating the Georgian church architecture at various stages in history and has some Byzantine undertones.

“Superb Starling”

The Superb Starling is a member of the starling family, formerly known as Spreo Superbus.

This species has a very wide range and is commonly found in East Africa.

But this one was in the Jungle Dome at Center Parcs Het Heijderbos in the Netherlands. It is an indoor tropical jungle dome created with the WWF, with an exotic atmosphere, tropical flora and fauna, suspension bridges...

Trip to Bolivia 2025 - On our way to Uyuni

In Bolivia, the contrasts can be incredible and sometimes my camera had troubles coping with it (I later found out maybe I did not use the correct settings). So I have a simple question (which you can answer in the comments) : do you think this picture is underexposed or ok like that ?

Trip to Bolivia 2025 - Part 2 : Uyuni (episode 5)

The salar in Uyuni is so big that there can be a bright sun on one side (see my previous post) and a complete thunderstorm on the other one ! Bolivia is a huge country (at least for a European) and in the salar, the lack of reference points in the landscape makes it dificult to estimate the distances...
The three pictures from left to right almost form a panorama of the view I had.

“Elephants family in Maasai Mara”

Elephants are highly sociable and have similar life cycles to humans. The maternity herd is very protective of young, but males are ejected at 12-15 years old, after which they become nomadic males, often associating with other males.

Elephants have strong bonds and even at 9yrs old a calf may spend over half of the time less than 5metres away from it mother.

The Mara elephants have unfortunately been under threat due to poaching and human-elephant conflicts.
