The new castle
Since retirement in July 2015, I have taken up photography as a hobby. I take my camera with me most times I am out walking or travelling. I love capturing the moment. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. To view best quality, click on each picture.
September 23, 2019 - Pictures of the day
Today we travelled south from Zvolen on secondary roads to Banska Stiavnica. This town has a history of mining, in the 20th century it shifted to textiles, shoes and tobacco. We visited both the old and the new castles and ended the day by travelling further south to Dudince, known for it's mineral springs and healing water.
