    Our visit to the Museum Buurtspoorweg in the Netherlands during our holiday included a memorable journey on one of their historic steam trains. Seated beside a window, my uncle's attention was drawn to a dog that had entered the aisle, bathed in the soft glow of the autumn sunlight.

    Title or Location: Hallstatt, Austria
    Hallstatt is so beautiful that a TV manufacturer chose to use a photo of it as the startup image when their TVs were turned on. I used to own a chalet in Strobl, near Hallstatt, and visited the town often. After the TV manufacturer featured it, the number of visitors to Hallstatt increased significantly, and the locals began complaining that they couldn?t cope with the crowds. The village and its surroundings are so stunning that it has been designated a World Heritage Site.

    Getting up at 5 am kn Sunday morning is worth it! Frensham Little Pond and surrounding area is a nature reserve and seeing a sunrise over that little lake covered with a bit fog was worth the effort. And while my "fog hunting" didn't pan out, I've managed to capture this and few more lovely views.

    Title or Location: Near the slipway at the end of Meols Parade.
    High tide was around 2am which meant there would still be plenty of water on the beach in the hour before sunrise. Weather forecast was promising with sun and cloud forecast so I was set for an early start. Up at 5-40am and was in position on the beach just before 5 am. As often happens my best pictures were taken within the first 20 minutes when the light was at its best.
