Our second port of call on our Royal Princess cruise in 2016 was to Kotor in Montenegro. Set at the end of a bay it's a truly stunning part of the world to see. After we'd tendered ashore from the ship we took a boat trip back out along the bay and first stopped at an artificial island created over the centuries by dropping rocks or sinking boats with rocks in the water from about the fifteenth century onwards following "a vision." A small church sat on the islet with a small museum and art gallery. This was Our Lady of the Rocks. Whether religious or not, it's still a gloriously peaceful place to be in the middle of the bay with spectacular mountainous landscapes all around.

It's a bright sunny day with an early morning feel. We're on a boat in a flat bay of deep blue water with mountainous landscape on all sides in the distance. The landscape looks dry with scrubby bush mostly low down on the steep sides of the rocks. We're approaching a berthing point on an islet in the bay marked by an anchor sign on a low wall of two large stone bricks in height that forms straight lines on this spot of land in the water. A small church dominates the space on the islet. It has an octagonal form nearer us on which a copper dome sits, turned blue-green with age. Beyond the square part of the church that heads off there is a tall, cylindrical bell tower with similar dome atop. Some small buildings at the far end of the islet and to the right of the church are made from the same, light stone bricks as the main building but they have orange tiled roofs. You can hear the lapping of the bay water against the stone walls. It's warm in the sun with a cooling whisper of a breeze from the bay. It's very peaceful.

#OTD in 1794.

The rebuilt Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, in London, designed by Henry Holland, opens to the public.

Actress Sarah Siddons, then part of the Drury Lane company, called it "a wilderness of a place". Not only was any sense of intimacy and connection to the company on stage lost, but the very size of the theatre put a great deal of the audience at such a distance from the stage so as to make hearing a player's voice quite difficult.

The Burning of Drury Lane Theatre from Westminster Bridge. After standing only 15 years, the third Drury Lane theatre building burned down on 24 February 1809. This painting from the period, artist unknown, shows the view of the fire from the Westminster Bridge.

I hope you like history!

Welcome to the historical town of St Andrews. Featuring the world's 3rd oldest English-speaking university, the ruins of St Andrews clifftop castle, and an otherworldly rock formation east of the town.

There's PLENTY more photos from this day too! Isn't that nice? Just go here -> iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/3/1 👍

The ruins of St Andrews Castle, showcasing a weathered stone structure with remnants of walls and openings. The castle's stones are unevenly placed, with moss and lichen visible on some surfaces, hinting at its age. In the background, a blue sky with wispy clouds adds a serene atmosphere. A winding path made of wooden slats leads through the grassy area in front of the castle, guiding the viewer's eye towards the entrance of the structure, which features an arched doorway.
St Salvator's Quadrangle at the University of St Andrews, featuring a picturesque scene with historic stone buildings and a tall clock tower. The quadrangle is filled with lush green grass, where a group of people are seated, enjoying the outdoors. The buildings display intricate architectural details, including large windows and decorative elements, with some areas adorned with pink banners. In the foreground, a neatly paved path leads through the well-maintained gardens, lined with flower beds. Above, the sky is bright with scattered clouds, enhancing the inviting atmosphere of the university setting.
Buddo Rock at Buddo Ness, featuring impressive rock formations with intricate textures and colours. The towering red and orange hues of the stone contrast against a clear blue sky. A prominent archway is visible, formed by two large, weathered rock pillars that rise dramatically from the grassy ground. The surrounding area is dotted with tufts of grass, enhancing the natural setting, while the distant coastline can be glimpsed beyond the rock formations, adding to the scene's rugged beauty.
Another view of Buddo Rock at Buddo Ness, highlighting the unique geological formations of the area. The towering rock structure showcases an array of colours, including deep blacks, earthy reds, and soft greens, with intricate textures that suggest years of erosion. The sunlight casts gentle shadows, accentuating the contours of the rock. In the background, the coastline is visible, meeting the calm sea under a clear blue sky. The surrounding grass adds a natural element, contributing to the wild and rugged beauty of the landscape.
