The Rock

 Alcatraz Island, which houses a former military fort and prison, lies in the middle of San Francisco Bay. The photo was taken on the same boat ride as this photo of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Coffee

 A spring morning at the local market.

The hikers

 My daughter, not yet three, with my wife behind her, look towards the Karavanke mountains in the background during a short walk up a hill in the vicinity of Ljubljana.

Watchtowers

 Lifeguard watchtowers stand empty in early november. This is along a long, sandy beach in the northern Italian town of Lido di Jesolo, just across the lagoon from Venice. Jesolo is one of the most popular beach resorts in Italy, but is quiet and empty outside of the main tourist season.

Peaks before the dark

 The last light in a narrow mountain valley, looking up at the peaks. The most prominent mountain here, on the left side of the photo, is Špik, whose name literally means "sharp"

Green fern

 

 I like ferns.

Railing

 Railing on a boat in Izola's marina.
