* I'm grateful for visit, faves and comments of my photo.

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)

Llangattock Quarries

If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.

 

Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe

 

Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Music for your trip to the Universe:

 

David Bowie - Space Oddity

Ground Control to Major Tom. Ground Control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)... Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)... Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff...)

 

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX

"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.

 

Blur - The Universal

The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."

Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss (Op. 30) / The Dawn of Man scene, 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick, 1969

We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

PS: Ground Control to Major Tom. Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong. Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you...

"Here am I floating 'round my tin can, far above the moon. Planet Earth is blue. And there's nothing I can do" (Major Tom)

 

PS: Merry Christmas to all Flick(e)r users... and to the Universe full of crazy diamonds that shine... And Major Tom

... nella campagna che circonda Glastonbury sono comparsi i misteriosi cerchi nel grano e in questa regione ci sono stati numerosi avvistamenti UFO …

quindi se uscendo dalla città avrete capogiri o allucinazioni forse è colpa delle linee energetiche o forse è il primo sintomo di contatto con gli UFO …

Sunset panorama in the forelands of the river IJssel near Olst.

 

The pano is made from three seperate shots and taken about ten minutes after sundown.

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.

Gondolas hang from the Texas Star Ferris Wheel at Dallas’ Fair Park.

Una leyenda urbana asegura que Walt Disney se inspiró en el Alcázar de Segovia para sus castillos de cuentos de hadas, y Orson Welles lo utilizó como decorado de Mr Arkadin.

 

Fortaleza guerrera y cortesana, erigida a partir de los siglos XII y XIII sobre un espigón rocoso que domina los valles del Eresma y del Clamores, los siglos y un incendio en 1862 lo convirtieron en la pintona construcción actual.

 

Para descubrirlo en todo su mágico esplendor hay que llegar a Segovia por la carretera de Zamarramala. Al atardecer y si es en otoño mucho mejor.
