It is said a picture, this one was taken in New York, is worth a thousand words. Well, this picture has words in it and tells a story. It made me reflect on valuing and protecting what I still have – health.

As we sailed away from Scotland, the Scottish Piper played traditional music. The evidence of bagpipes in Scotland goes back to the 15th century. It is believed that bagpipes were carried at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, but there is little evidence.

I took this picture from my balcony. Brisbane celebrated Riverfire last night. As a new unit building will be built in front of our view blocking us from seeing the city, I took the opportunity to take a few photos. An unusual warm evening for this time of the year and drinks and a meal enjoying the light spectacle.

Lupinus, commonly known as lupin, lupine or regionally bluebonnet, is a plant in the legume family Fabaceae. The family includes over 199 species. They are widely cultivated, both as a food source and as ornamental plants, but are invasive to some areas. I found the flower in the picture in Akureyri’s garden in Iceland.

It was known as the Valley of the Fallen, now Valle de Cuelgamuros. This basilica was built under granite rock by prisoners of war (Spanish Civil War) on the orders of the dictator Francisco Franco in 1940 and opened in 1958. The 150-metre-high (500 feet) cross is constructed of stone. Beneath the valley floor lie the remains of 40,000 (33,800 republicans) victims, though the remains of the dictator and Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera (A Falangist hero) are no longer there. The complex also has a Benedictine Abbey, and a guest house.

“Sur le Pont d'Avignon" ("On the Bridge of Avignon") is a French song about a dance performed on the Pont d'Avignon (officially Pont Saint-Bénézet) that dates back to the 15th century. The dance actually took place under the bridge of the picture and not on the bridge However, I couldn’t organise the dancers.

Al fresco means outside, especially of food and eating lunch or dinner. This is a typical Parisian scene thought the establishment pictured has an Italian flavour.

While walking in Brussels, I saw a shop window with this porcelain of two people dancing. I hope you like it.

Manneken Pis is Dutch for 'Little Pissing Man'; it is a bronze sculpture in central Brussels, (Belgium) of a little boy urinating into the fountain's basin. The statue has existed since the mid-15th century, and it has been repeatedly stolen or damaged throughout its history. However, since 1965, a replica has been publicly displayed. The original stored in the Brussels City Museum.

The picture’s foreground shows some artificial tree structures part of the Gardens by the Bay, which is a gardening wonder. It was part of the nation's plans to transform its "Garden City" to a "City in a Garden". The picture shows in the background the three-tiers- building, which is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore. It’s also a landmark of Singapore. At its opening in 2010, it was the world's most expensive standalone casino property at S$8 billion (US$ 6.88 billion).
