L’estomac bien rempli, nous reprenons la route principale vers Satara.

Vous aussi vous avez raclé les os avec vos dents ? 😏

Plus sérieusement, les temps sont un peu durs pour les blogs et carnets de voyage. Les visiteurs de VF avant covid ont du mal à revenir, au bénéfice des vlogs et des groupes FB...

Il y a aussi les lectrices silencieuses 😛 C’est ce que je me dis pour m’encourager quand j’écris mon propre carnet. Le VF d’avant n’est pas reparti. Et ne repartira pas. Mais quelques belles lectures nous sont encore offertes 😉

Pas mal la petite villa 😉

Lire vos carnets à quatre mains reste un enchantement et un partage très intéressant qui donne juste envie de suivre vos traces...merci 😎

Finalement, même quand on voyage chacun de son côté, on continue un peu à voyager ensemble grâce aux récits de Richard 😉

Je me rappelle de tes difficultés à trouver un hôtel à Rabat (ou Tanger, je ne suis plus sûre...) , tu avais pourtant le Waldorf Astoria situé à l'intérieur de la tour Mohamed VI que nous apercevons sur ta photo. Les chambres vont de 700 à 4500€ la nuit. Bon, à ce tarif, le petit dej est compris 😛😉 J'ignorais qu'au Maroc de tels prix étaient pratiqués... J'imaginais plutôt ce luxe à Las Vegas, à Genève ou à Dubaï...

And to wrap up (my bad), I’ll admit that driving while scanning the surroundings, stopping, juggling my two lenses (without forgetting my phone to send updates to family now and then) sometimes led me to leave fingerprints on the lens or accidentally press one of the (way too many ) buttons on the back of my camera (“why are all my photos suddenly blue ???”)

You’ve gotta leave the phone at the hotel—one less thing to worry about 😛😉

Hi Ursula

I understand. Raga logged in on the 3rd after my message on November 2nd. I hope he’s doing okay.

We get to the Cape and there’s no way to take a photo without someone in it: first I’M taking a selfie, then I’M taking a photo of YOU, and then YOU’RE taking a photo of ME, and so on and so on...

A real pain... 😕

Hi Hery,

Thanks for replying—I was starting to feel like I was invisible. Or did I say or do something, or am I something, that the organizer doesn’t like? 😕 So, I won’t be taking part this month; I’m just not feeling it anymore.

Good evening Raga,

Could I get an answer to my question?

I posted my first photo to check if I followed all the guidelines correctly. My image shows, as required, an urban tiny house.

Or what’s left of it after an earthquake?

Yep, remains-of-an-urban-tiny-house 😛

Our travel journals cross paths today...🙂

You’re arriving just as we’re leaving... Only one day left in Tangier 🙂

Hey Raga

I posted my first photo to check if I understood all the guidelines correctly. My image shows a small-urban-house, as required. But in your instructions, you said:

What matters is that this house is built in an urban setting with other houses, either the same size or taller, to show the contrast between the different buildings next to it.

There aren’t any apartment buildings or other urban structures to show that contrast. Let me know if I’m way off, and I’ll delete my photo 🙂

Thanks again, Julie 🙂

A great podium to mark the end of the contest! Raga, the floor is yours 😉

These women are gorgeous!

Aren’t there any Specsavers deals?

Unless they’re actually men 😕

While tens of thousands of its buddies are lounging on the beach, this sea lion sniffed out a great tip.

Goes to show, even among sea lions, some know how to stand out from the crowd!

photos 10 and 11: Le tengaade

These women are stunning! Thanks for these always very interesting explanations 🙂

Look at this beautiful thing So full of grace It's her, the girl Who comes and goes In a sweet sway ♫♫ ♪♪♪

I just watched the slideshow. It's so hard to choose! I really love Raga's photo 1, but I've already seen it in another contest or somewhere else—I can't remember... Anyway, for me, it fits the theme perfectly. I also like her photo 3, colorful and bright. As well as UnaMilanese's delicate lace, Envalis's elephants, xrctn's green melons with the matching parasol, Jemaflor's photo 3—classic but it really makes me travel—and Maevita's photo 3, which is pretty fun... There are others too, nice but they don’t move me as much.

Alright, here I go!

Envallis, photo 1, 3 points. Africa just as I imagine it! A very well-composed photo.

Ragamuffin, photo 1, 2 points For the reasons mentioned above, for the tenderness of the gesture.

xrctn, photo 1, 1 point For the relevance of the colors. Did the young boy do it on purpose?

And a thousand thanks to Megapixel for their precious help :)

Hello

Xrctn 2 Australia 😎😎😎 RAgamuffin 1 Vietnam 🙂🙂 Unamilanese 2 Liguria 🙂🙂

I guess Unamilanese only has one point?
