The building of the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Butter and Cheese Making on Krasnoarmeisky Boulevard. Uglich, 1950s
In 1944, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR decided to establish the Central Research Institute of the Cheese Industry on the basis of the laboratory of the Uglich Cheese Factory.
The main task of the institute is defined ... "general and special management of all research work in the field of cheese-making in the USSR."
In 1957, the institute was located in a new
building where it is located to this day.
You might not expect to come upon a castle while visiting Spokane, but that is exactly what you will do if you visit the Spokane County courthouse. Most of us associate such architecture with romantic old castles in Europe, or perhaps something out of the world of Walt Disney or fairy tales. To find such a building in the center of a modern, growing regional hub city such as Spokane is a bit startling.
The courthouse is said to closely resemble two famous 16th century chateaux in the Loire Valley of France, the Chateau de Chambord, built in 1519 and the Chateau d'Azay Le Rideau built in 1516. Many architects through the years have commented on the masterly replica of a 16th century French Renaissance design, its fine lines of style and proportion with regard to the towers and turrets, the sculpture, iron and brickwork which excel in pattern and craftsmanship. Detailed exterior trim such as shell patterns with wreaths and festoons and decorative arches are a few of the outstanding features of its design. The beautiful center tower, now lighted at night, is a masterpiece of detail in itself.
....And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
Not shaking the grass
(Ezra Pound)

The Carnival Magic‘s onboard waterpark is backlit by the rising sun just off the coast of Freeport, Bahamas.
First I stopped in this beautiful park on the way to Lewis river falls. The current was very fast, and there was no reflection at all. I came here again early in the morning. The flow of the river was still strong, but when the sun lit the hill and the trees behind the bridge, the view was simply magical.

I have taken many photos of the trees down this stretch of road and each time they come out a little different. The combination of stormy sky and the sun going down made for beautiful light and shadows.
A View through this Looking Glass and the whole world seems to be different.
So, raise your Glasses, I wish you a happy 2016

It's been a while since I posted a lighthouse photo, and I do have a few more that I feel are worth sharing. This is the Cape Neddick Light, also known as Nubble Light or just the Nubble. Built in 1879, it is located on Nubble island which is just 90 meters off Cape Neddick Point, in Southern Maine. The lighthouse is only 12 meters high but because it sits on top of a steep rocky island, the light is actually 27 meters above sea level. The Nubble is a famous American icon and as such, a picture of it among with pictures from other prominent man made structures (like the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China) was carried by the Voyager Spacecraft, should it fall into the hands of intelligent extraterrestrials. Only the lighthouse keeper has access to the island and as you can imagine the small park at the tip of the cape right across from the lighthouse is almost always crowded with people enjoying the view of this beautiful structure and the rugged shoreline.

I hadn't been to Strasbourg before, but I must go back. Today I had a quick 30 minutes run around between trains. Too hot really, but I wanted to see it.
This photo must have got deleted from Flickr somehow. It was on months ago, and has made a reappearance this morning (16 Dec 2015)
