Today’s photo comes from Margaret Bashwiner:
“I never expected Amsterdam to be so stunningly beautiful. I found the city to be surprisingly peaceful at dusk, strolling across canals and down quiet and winding European cobblestone streets.
Boats ranging from tiny, recreational tugboats to larger, more ornate houseboats line the waterways throughout the city. This shot was taken on a winter afternoon so there was no activity on the water but plenty of activity elsewhere throughout the vibrant city.”

“Sleeping above the water in luxury bungalows on stilts, swimming with dolphins in a shallow bay, and snoozing under the umbrellas with an umbrella drink. Ahhhh, Moorea.”

Today’s photo comes from Rusti and Gug Morandin:
“We saw a group of Thousand Origami Cranes held together by strings at the Fushimi Inari Shrine in Southern Kyoto, Japan. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes and places them at shrines will be granted a wish by the cranes, such as long life or recovery from an illness. Also considered a symbol of peace, strands of cranes are prevalent in the city of Hiroshima.”
If it’s Wednesday, it must be time for the 14Trips Photo of the Week segment.

Today’s photo comes from Margaret Bashwiner:
“For me, this photo encapsulates a moment of pure awe: the magnificent Alhambra perched atop a hill overlooking Granada and Southern Spain, set to the backdrop of clear blue skies. The Alhambra palace and fortress date back to the Muslim kings and their court in the 1300s but today they represent a stunning example of Moorish architecture. The Alhambra draws a huge number of visitors but the property is large enough that one can escape the crowds and spend the whole day wandering and taking in the breathtaking scenery and amazing architectural accomplishments. And when your feet need a rest, head to the Parador Hotel for some sangria on the beautiful patio overlooking the Alhambra and surrounding area. “
