Coimbra, the city of Hills.

These are some of the picture of Coimbra that I have taken in the last few weeks. Its a really cool city but incredibly hilly which doesn’t agree with my feeble legs. But apart from the hills it has a really nice Botanical Garden, one of the Oldest Universities in the land and some nice parks and views so all in all its not a bad place to live.

Some ducks going for an evening stroll on the Mondego River.

I really hope you enjoyed these picture, I was really happy with how they turned out but they are by no means perfect and my quest to take a perfect picture goes on. That is enough from me for now let me know what you think in the comments and feel free to share them with your pets or whom ever you think might enjoy them.

Peace and Love,

The Foxy Prophet.

The Moon, The Beach and Other Things.

I went for a walk on the beach with my camera for a daytime stroll and a night-time stroll, here are the results I hope you like them.

 

 

My muse.

Someone threw a bunch of flowers into the ocean, Im guessing it was either for a viking style funeral or an apology that didn’t go to plan.

I liked this rock with all the holes, a Geologist once explaied to me what forms them but I can’t remember what he said.

I like when water running down sand creates these trenches.

Some shells that I found.

I think the clouds look pretty cool in this photo.

 

more pictures of shells or as I like to think of them, Sea Skeletons.

I love when the sea erodes holes through rocks.

 

The moon came out at around 8PM and it was absolutely spectacular.

the moon was something special last night.

I was hoping to get more pictures of the dog playing in the water, but it was late and I guess he had to go home to have his supper.

There were planes flying past every couple of minutes and I almost managed to get a picture of this one going across the face of the moon but I didn’t time it well enough.

Well anyways that is enough from me for now so stay tuned and I’ll try to update the pictures again soon.
