Road covered by sand near Tarifa, Costa de la Luz, Cadiz Province, Andalusia, southern Spain. Punta Paloma sand dunes. Dune Bologna (36 ° ۵’۱۷ “N 5 ° ۴۷’۳” W) is a sand dune over 30 meters high located northwest of the bay of Bologna, towards Camarinal tip, on the coast Atlantic province of Cádiz (Spain). It is an accumulation of sand formed by the dominant easterly winds colliding head-on with the end of the cove. The coastline of the beach of Bologna has a southeast-northwest and east wind raises guidance and projects a stream of fine sand that sweeps the surface of the beach to the end of the cove, where this current collides with closure Cove, almost perpendicular. The end of the cove has a small rock substrate, more visible to the west, and pine and understory vegetation, all of which slows the sand and causes the formation of the dune, over 30 meters high and over 200 meters inland, over a width of about 500 meters. The end of the dune is more or less stable, continuous struggle between the pines grow and advance the sand, but not always advancing, since the height of the dune exceeds the trees and the wind carries the excess sand away from the dune.
Albanians from the southern part of the country who now live in Greece visit the Pyramid in Tirana, Albania. The Pyramid was opened as a museum to commemorate the late ruler Hoxha. After the collapse of communism it served as a conference center and even became a NATO office during the conflict with Kosovo. The future of the pyramid is uncertain. Some want to see it torn down and others fight adamantly to preserve it.

A monk on his way home~
A large, inquisitive and almost dangerously playful female Humpback whale calf measures me with her pectoral fin. This image was captured on a very wide fisheye lens, which doesnít quite show how close she really is. By measuring how close I am she can determine if her tail is going to come in contact with me as she swims past.
