Some surfers enjoying the waves at Valdearenas Beach, near Liencres, Cantabria, Spain. A wonderful and beautiful place. Taken today just after the sun disappeared on the horizon.

Taken from Tunnel View Point, at Yosemite National Park, on our way to Glacier Point to see the sunset. The view from here was totally outstanding, as from almost every single viewpoint inside this incredible area. Would love to get back there someday, since it's one of the nicest Parks I visited. Surely some of the most beautiful sceneries of our USA trip. Hope you like it.

This is the American Cemetery situated at Colleville-sur-Mer, Normandy, France. This cemetery is just next to Omaha Beach, one of the beaches were the Normandy landing took place.

According to wikipedia, there are about 10,000 soldiers buried here, all of them died on WWII, except one who died on WWI, Quentin Roosevelt, one of the sons of the former President of the United States of America, Theodore Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt Jr., other of the sons of Theodore Roosevelt, is also buried here, being one of the three Medal of Honor who rest in this cemetery.

All the graves are looking towards the United States, at the West.

This cemetery appears at the beginning of the film "Saving Private Ryan", with the participation of Tom Hanks.

La Ercina Lake, Covadonga, Asturias, Spain. This is one of the two Covadonga Lakes (the other one is called Enol Lake), situated in the Picos de Europa National Park. In this capture, taken last October, we can see the snowy peaks maybe for the first time of the season. The sun was setting, and I just caught some of the last rays before the sun was obstructed by the mountains.

I would like to see this place right now, must be totally white, but I think it will be dangerous to get there, I don't know even whether the road will be open or not.

Hope you enjoy it! Your visits, comments and suggestions will be appreciated.
