Nederland The Hague
The Hague officially is the third largest city in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam and Rotterdam, with a population of 485,818 (as of May 31, 2009) and an area of approximately 100 km². It is located in the west of the Netherlands, in the province of South Holland, of which it is also the provincial capital. The Hague is the centre of a conurbation called Haaglanden (population 1,011,459) and lies at the southwest corner of a larger conurbation called the Randstad.
The Hague is the seat of the Dutch parliament, government and Royal Court (but the city is not the capital of the Netherlands which is a role set aside in the Dutch constitution for Amsterdam). Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands lives and works in The Hague. All foreign embassies and government ministries are located in the city, as well as the Hoge Raad der Nederlanden (Supreme Court), the Raad van State (Council of State) and many lobbying organisations.
The Hague is also the seat of over 150 international organisations, including the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court. It is one of the major cities of the UN, along with New York and Geneva .
The Hague originated around 1230, when Floris IV, Count of Holland purchased land alongside a pond (now the Hofvijver) in order to build a hunting residence. In 1248 William II, Count of Holland and Rex Romanorum, decided to extend the residence to a palace. He died in 1256 before this palace was completed, but parts of it were finished by his son Floris V, of which the Ridderzaal (Knights' Hall), still extant, is the most prominent. It is still used for political events, such as the annual speech from the throne by the monarch.
Later, the counts of Holland used The Hague as their administrative centre and residence when in Holland. 'Des Graven Hage' literally means the count's wood, with connotations like the count's hedge or private enclosure.
When the Dukes of Burgundy gained control over the counties of Holland and Zeeland at the beginning of the 15th century, they appointed a stadtholder to rule in their stead with the States of Holland as an advisory council. Their seat was located in The Hague. At the beginning of the Eighty Years' War, the absence of city walls proved disastrous, as it allowed Spanish troops easily to occupy the town. In 1575 the States of Holland even considered demolishing the city, but this proposal was abandoned, after mediation by William of Orange. From 1588 The Hague also became the location of the government of the Dutch Republic. In order for the administration to maintain control over city matters, The Hague never received official city status (although it did have many privileges, normally only attributed to cities). However, since the days of King Louis Napoleon (1806) The Hague has been allowed to call itself a city.
After the Napoleonic Wars, modern-day Belgium and the Netherlands were combined in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands to form a buffer against France. As a compromise, Brussels and The Hague alternated as capital every two years, with the government remaining in The Hague. After the separation of Belgium in 1830, Amsterdam remained the capital of the Netherlands, while the government was situated in The Hague.
Since early times, probably dating as far back as the 15th century, the stork has been the symbol of The Hague.

United Arab Emirates Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination United Arab Emirates.
Situated on the Arabian Peninsula between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, the United Arab Emirates is a fairy-tale of the One Thousand And One Nights.In just a relatively few years the region has been catapulted from the Middle Ages into the 21st century and it is now an international financial centre within an ancient desert region. It contains seven sheikdoms that are united both politically and economically. Dubai is a wonderful holiday paradise with a romantic desert and a long history in which the past unites with the present. Dubai is the second largest state in the United Arab Emirates and is situated on the north coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Fifteen kilometres from Dubai is the tiny Emirate of Sharjah where life continues according to age-old Arabian tradition. Tourism was once popular on this former pirate coast but the Saudi king subsequently prohibited the consumption of alcohol and thus the tourists stayed away. On the western side of theHajar Mountains an oasis village developed that contains more than two hundred springs and wells. The oasis was once frequently occupied by Saudi Arabia but in 1974 the International Court Of Justice in the Hague ruled against the Saudi occupation. Today, Oman and the United Arab Emirates share the nine oasis villages of the Buraimi Oasis and live together in peace. Abu Dhabi is the largest of the seven Emirates and means, Father Of The Gazelle, a name derived from an ancient legend. The seventy three thousand square kilometres of the Abu Dhabi region cover eighty-six per cent of the United Arab Emirates and in the 1960’s the city had a population of five thousand that has now grown to almost a million. As the oil supplies gradually trickle away the sheiks are becoming increasingly cautious with their spending and the oil boom has now been followed by tourism in this fairy-tale holiday paradise that is full of desert romance.

Cheyenne, WY, Magic City of the Plains
We visited Cheyenne , WY for several days, July 2015, on our way back to Colorado after trip to Yellowstone National Park. Although it is the capital of Wyoming, it is a small city with ca. 63,000 population, Cheyenne has a lot of old west history. We had nice visit of the state capital, and had nice meals and shopping in the old town area.

Pharaoh Lake Wilderness - Outta gas and my fly is down
Pharaoh Lake Wilderness - Adirondacks, NY
July 27th - 30th, 2018
Itinerary
---------
Thursday - Trailhead to Oxshoe Pond
Friday - Oxshoe Pond to Clear Pond
Saturday - Clear Pond to Pharaoh Lake (either #3 or #5)
Sunday - Pharaoh Lake to Trailhead
Located on the line between Essex County and Warren County in the towns of Schroon, Ticonderoga, Hague and Horicon NY, it is a 45,883 acre wilderness area in the Adirondack Park. It features over 60 miles of trails, 14 lean-tos, and 39 bodies of water.
As a disclaimer, where I parked isn't technically legal. Crane Pond Road is a very controversial 2 mile stretch of dirt road that passes through Forest Preserve land and a wetland. Over the years it has fallen into disrepair but is always rebuilt by someone. Some say it is locals, some say it is the DEC doing it but keeping it quiet. Regardless of which, as of filming, the road is still open and there were plenty of trucks up at the end of the road.
Also note that a 4x4 is recommended with a good deal of clearance. If you try to go back there in a small car just remember I warned you. There is a parking area just before the road turns right sharply. You can't miss it. It'll add some distance to your hike but as an alternative you can come in at Putnam Pond and still build a great multi-day trip back there. The Putnam Pond entry point brings you very close to my day 1 camp at Clear Pond.
Other than that, please leave no trace anywhere around the area. The more we can keep a place like this pristine the more inclined the powers that be will keep the road open.
Thanks for checking out the video, share it around if you enjoyed it.

I also used an older than dirt JVC Picsio to shoot the rain on the lake scene, and I regret it.
I also also left vivid mode on while shooting in XAVC S 50Mbps and the sky is blinding! Sorry.

Driving through Hampshire
Hampshire (/ˈhæmpʃər/, /-ʃɪər/ (About this sound listen); abbreviated Hants)[a] is a county on the southern coast of England in the United Kingdom. The county town of Hampshire is Winchester, the former capital city of England. Hampshire is the most populous ceremonial county in the United Kingdom (excluding the metropolitan counties) with almost half of the county's population living within the South Hampshire conurbation which includes the cities of Southampton and Portsmouth.[1] The larger South Hampshire metropolitan area has a population of 1,547,000.[2] Hampshire is notable for housing the birthplaces of the Royal Navy, British Army, and Royal Air Force. It is bordered by Dorset to the west, Wiltshire to the north-west, Berkshire to the north, Surrey to the north-east, and West Sussex to the east. The southern boundary is the coastline of the English Channel and the Solent, facing the Isle of Wight.
Hampshire is the largest county in South East England and remains the third largest shire county in the United Kingdom despite losing more land than any other English county in all contemporary boundary changes. At its greatest size in 1890, Hampshire was the fifth-largest county in England. It now has an overall area of 3,700 km2 (1,400 sq mi),[3] and measures about 86 km (53 mi) east–west and 76 km (47 mi) north–south.[4]
Hampshire's tourist attractions include many seaside resorts and two national parks: the New Forest and the South Downs (together covering some 45% of the county). Hampshire has a long maritime history, and two of Europe's largest ports, Portsmouth and Southampton, lie on its coast. The county is famed as home of writers Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, as well as the birthplace of engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
