California is a U.S. state in the Pacific Region of the United States. With 39.5 million residents, California is the most populous state in the United States and the third largest by area. The state capital is Sacramento. The Greater Los Angeles Area and the San Francisco Bay Area are the nation's second- and fifth-most populous urban regions, with 18.7 million and 8.8 million residents respectively. Los Angeles is California's most populous city, and the country's second-most populous, after New York City. California also has the nation's most populous county, Los Angeles County; its largest county by area, San Bernardino County; and its fifth most densely populated county, San Francisco. California's $2.8 trillion economy is larger than that of any other state. If it were a country, California would be the 5th largest economy in the world , and the 36th most populous as of 2017. The Greater Los Angeles Area and the San Francisco Bay Area are the nation's second- and third-largest urban economies , after the New York City metropolitan area. The San Francisco Bay Area PSA had the nation's highest GDP per capita in 2017 , and is home to four of the world's ten largest companies by market capitalization and four of the world's ten richest people.California is considered a global trendsetter in popular culture, innovation, and politics. It is considered the origin of the American film industry, the hippie counterculture, the Internet, and the personal computer, among others. The San Francisco Bay Area and the Greater Los Angeles Area are widely seen as the centers of the global technology and entertainment industries, respectively. California has a very diverse economy: 58% of the state's economy is centered on finance, government, real estate services, technology, and professional, scientific and technical business services. Although it accounts for only 1.5% of the state's economy, California's agriculture industry has the highest output of any U.S. state.California is bordered by Oregon to the north, Nevada and Arizona to the east, and the Mexican state of Baja California to the south. The state's diverse geography ranges from the Pacific Coast in the west to the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the east, and from the redwood–Douglas fir forests in the northwest to the Mojave Desert in the southeast. The Central Valley, a major agricultural area, dominates the state's center. Although California is well-known for its warm Mediterranean climate, the large size of the state results in climates that vary from moist temperate rainforest in the north to arid desert in the interior, as well as snowy alpine in the mountains. What is now California was first settled by various Native Californian tribes before being explored by a number of European expeditions during the 16th and 17th centuries. The Spanish Empire then claimed it as part of Alta California in their New Spain colony. The area became a part of Mexico in 1821 following its successful war for independence but was ceded to the United States in 1848 after the Mexican–American War. The western portion of Alta California then was organized and admitted as the 31st state on September 9, 1850. The California Gold Rush starting in 1848 led to dramatic social and demographic changes, with large-scale emigration from the east and abroad with an accompanying economic boom.

Yeronisos - Cyprus

The island which lies 280 metres from the shore of western Cyprus has been uninhabited since the 14th or 15th century.[1] It has an area of 26000 square metres and rises 21.65 metres from sea level.[2] Geologically the island consists of a hard calcarenite crust of Pleistocene marine terraces overlying a soft marl core.[2]
The toponym Holy Island is an ancient one. Pliny speaks of an island called Hiera, near Paphos, and Strabo mentions a place called Hierocepis nearby Paphos and Akamas.[1] It is likely that the name refers to the Apollo sanctuary that stood there in the 1st century. The island was first excavated in 1982 by Sophocles Hadjisavvas following a proposal to build a hotel on the island.[2] He quickly established the presence of Hellenistic remains on the island, which halted all further attempts to build on the island.[2] In 1989, Joan Breton Connelly from New York University heard about the work and impressed by the range of the material joined the excavations which have continued since then.[1]
The excavations have established three periods of occupation on Yeronisos. Early Chalcolithic (3800 BC), late Hellenistic (80-30 BC, and Byzantine (6th-7th century and 13th century). The most intense of this activity is the late Hellenistic period at a time when Cleopatra ruled Cyprus.[2] Artefacts include coins, pottery, glass, and inscriptions.[3] Limestone amulets, identical to those used in Cypriot sanctuaries of Apollo, point to ritual activity and the worship of Apollo.[1] The island was apparently abandoned following a devastating earthquake in 1st century BC/AD.[3] Low-level activity on the island begins again in the 6th century AD. when a reservoir and animal shelters were built.

10 very cool reasons to add Montreal to your travel list - Travel Guide vs Booking

It's hard to choose the kind of holiday mini-movie in which I’d like to star. Athriller, perhaps, as long as it doesn’t involve sharks or a lonely crevasse.A rom-com with my husband? Maybe a girls’ road trip like Thelma and Louise before they drive that green T-Bird into the Grand Canyon.The point is, I could be in any of them thanks to today’s technology – if only I was better at using it.I’d like to be, which is why I am in Cyprus with Martin Kemp, star of Spandau Ballet and EastEnders, reality show judge, TV host, stage actor and film director too.He’s here in his capacity as ambassador for First Choice’s All In campaign, which has been helping families get the most out of their holiday footage.I’m hoping he’s going to be able to sprinkle a little stardust over mine. We’re staying in Paphos, hometown of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, and a place where an abundance of ancient history is bookended by the resort’s 2017 status as a European capital of culture.As well as world-famous mosaics and a traditional hilltop old town, Paphos has a busy arts and museum scene and a harbour-side of banging bars and twinkly souvenir shops.There’s even a bijou urban beach with a medieval castle standing sentinel over it.It would make a nice enough backdrop to a masterclass led by Martin but a Jeep safari and a dip in a postcard-perfect blue lagoon promise something even prettier.Together with my son Rufus, 11, we head out of town and on to the Akamas peninsula.It’s the north-western tip of Cyprus, 30 miles from Paphos, and the busy coastal strip quickly gives way to a densely wooded cape carving through the Mediterranean.Once home to the firing ranges of the British Army, today it is protected by nature conservancy and its own remoteness.Ascout about for a great location takes us down to the biscuity sands of Lara Beach where, in June and July, green and loggerhead turtles come to lay their eggs.Limestone hills soar skywards and waves chase our feet along the bay. With Martin’s instructions about angles, action and audio echoing in my ears, I film Rufus more thoughtfully than usual.Akamas was where Aphrodite and her lover Adonis enjoyed romantic trysts but, with my funny son larking to order on the beach, it’s more Surf’s Up (the movie about surfing penguins) than From Here To Eternity.I also try my hand at some Attenborough-worthy images of Akamas’s gnarly juniper bushes and elegant cypresses, and the songbirds catching the breeze above pomegranate and fig trees.At lunchtime, Rufus takes a turn behind the camera, giving me a neat lesson in the difference between the digital natives of his generation and the digital immigrants of mine.He perfects a time-lapse picture of our taverna table which comes out looking like a Greek feast painted by an Old Master, all sizzled haloumi, ripe, red tomatoes and viridian olives.Afterwards, seeking a change of scene, we take an afternoon boat trip from the fishing village of Latchi to the Blue Lagoon, one of Cyprus’s most popular tourist spots.Ijump overboard and understand why Cyprus has become a year-round destination despite being only four-and-a-half hours flight time from the UK.The temperature is in the high 20s and the early-May sea is already warm enough for a refreshing swim.While summer is peak season here, Cyprus’s kindly climate makes for a great spring or autumn break too.By sunset I feel as if I have enough material for a feature film. Maybe even one with a sequel! But Martin makes it clear that less is always more.At our hotel, First Choice’s Holiday Village Aliathon, he pulls up a chair to check out my day’s work.‘Be ruthless,’ he tells me bluntly. ‘No one wants to see hours of footage. Keep it tight and busy, make a three-minute film of your highlights and add audio, or set it to some inspiring music and you’ll have a film lots of people will enjoy watching.’(In fact, I cut mine to under a minute. )The Holiday Village Aliathon, 200 yards from a beach and less than two miles by bus to Paphos’s harbour, is a spacious, modern complex.It has pools, bars and restaurants set in easy to navigate areas such as a replica Greek fishing vill

Kyrenia(Girne) Castle - NORTH Cyprus - Turkish side ????????????????

Girne Castle/Kyrenia Castle, North Cyprus

________________________________________

Kyrenia Castle at the east end of the old harbour in Kyrenia is a 16th-century castle built by the Venetians over a previous Crusader fortification. Within its walls lies a twelfth-century chapel showing reused late Roman capitals, and the Shipwreck Museum.

Shipwreck Museum

___________________

One of the rooms leading off the courtyard contains the Shipwreck Museum, which exhibits the remains of a Greek merchant ship from the 4th century BC, one of the oldest vessels ever to be recovered, together with its cargo. In 1965, Andreas Kariolou, a Greek-Cypriot diver, discovered the vessel, laden with millstones and amphorae of wine from Kos and Rhodes. The vessel was sailing to Cyprus when a storm wrecked it outside Kyrenia harbour. In 1967 he showed the wreck to archeologists. A team, under Michael Katsev of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, then studied the wreck from 1969 to 1974. The vessel was approximately already 80 years old at the time it sank. Today, the 47-foot-long hull (14 m), made of Aleppo pine sheathed in lead, is preserved in a specially controlled environment in the Museum, together with its amphorae.
