La Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències está situada al final del viejo cauce del río Turia (jardín del Turia), cauce que se convirtió en jardín en los años 1980, tras el desvío del río por la gran riada de Valencia en 1957. En 2007, fue uno de los ganadores del concurso 12 Tesoros de España.
The City of Arts and Sciences is an architectural, cultural, and entertainment complex in the city of Valencia, capital of the Valencian Community, Spain.
The neo-futurist-style complex was designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela. It was inaugurated on June 9, 1998, with the opening of El Hemisférico. The last major component of the City is the Ágora, located between the Puente de l'Assut de l'Or and the Oceanogràfic.
The City of Arts and Sciences is located at the end of the old Turia River bed (Turia Garden), a bed that was converted into a garden in the 1980s after the river was diverted during the great Valencia flood of 1957. In 2007, it was one of the winners of the 12 Treasures of Spain competition.

Campbell's Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge in northeastern Greenville County, South Carolina, near the small town of Gowensville. Campbell's Covered Bridge was built in 1909 by Charles Willis Irwin and is the last remaining covered bridge in South Carolina. It is owned by Greenville County, which closed it to motorized traffic in the early 1980s. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 1, 2009.
I'd done a B&W version of this right away. Tried doing a color one this time. Cleaned it up a bit (but I can see things to fix already) too. The skin tone was hard to get right. There seem to be three different 'bad' (spiky spectrum) light sources lighting her so I had to use masks and the channel mixer in Darktable. I think the rendering in this version looks like Ektachome 200 (maybe the tungsten version) from 1980s with the colors a bit subdued. Anyway that's what I was shooting for. An altogether different effect than the B&W version, I think.
These got more comments than I thought they would, so I'll tell the story they come with. This woman and [apparently] her pal performed on Istiklal street (Istanbul) for a week or so in late 2016. I don't think they were regular buskers, I suspect they were music students or something like that. Dichtung & Wahrheit (Poetry and Truth) kindly identified the instrument as a hang. I saw these women twice. The first time I had no change and it was a bit early for this mood. This is from the second time. Haven't seen them there since.

1980s townhouses vs 2020s condos on Mill Lake in Abbotsford, BC. Not the usual boxes, but does the use of other angles enhance them in any way? What do you think?
Well it's actually the spa and gym at the front of the cruise ship Celebrity Apex. However, it reminded me of the sun visors we might have worn as kids in the early 80s. Picture taken at sunrise in the port of Funchal.
Another one i've snapped before, its on the way to my Dad's house and look a lot rougher than it did in 2017, sad to see it slowly rusting away.....
I completely forgot i had snapped this earlier in the year from long range when it was at the front of the compound, no plates, its now moved and is more difficult to snap, such a rare car to see in the UK now.

Mail sent by the Regional Parks Foundation in 1988 in celebration of the Tilden carousel. The stamps are regular US issue stamps (not specific to Tilden).
Though it was the 1980s this photo looks like it could have been taken in the 50s or 60s. Scanned from an old print.
Sometimes I wonder if we should go back to when a video game lobby had people standing in it. I love tech and the Internet is such a wonderful tool. I just wish we weren't trying harder than ever to make it terrible.
There's something to be said for walking into an arcade and just having fun. Leave your worries at the door and drop into a world where the tech is all fun and doesn't try to sell your soul to the highest bidder.

Drive side. Still working on the fit, particularly the saddle angle.
I am retrospectively embarrassed of the way I built this poor bike. It didn't deserve this :-)
Not enough clothing, oodles of hair and gorgeous metallic blue eyeshadow. The eighties, what a time.
Theatre Royal, Newcastle with Trailer lights
The theatre was designed by local architects John and Benjamin Green as part of Richard Grainger's grand design for the centre of Newcastle, and was opened on 20 February 1837 with a performance of The Merchant of Venice. One of the first managers here was Thomas Ternan who employed his wife, Frances Ternan as the main actress.
Following a performance of William Shakespeare's play Macbeth, a huge fire destroyed the interior of the building in 1899. It had its interior redesigned by Frank Matcham and reopened on 31 December 1901. The theatre's restaurant is named after Matcham. Externally, the building is exactly as it was when it was first built.
It underwent a major refurbishment and restoration in the latter part of the 1980s, reopening on 11 January 1988 with a performance of A Man For All Seasons starring Charlton Heston.
The Theatre Royal went dark on 14 March 2011 due to a major restoration of the auditorium, box office, bars and restaurant. The restoration restored the theatre to the original 1901 Frank Matcham Edwardian interior.
Doornroosje 06/09/2023 11h44
Doornroosje (Sleeping Beauty). The first fairy tale on the official route through the fairytale forest is one of the ten first fairy tales at the opening in 1952.
A photo taken before the major renovation of the castle. It is desperately needed: cracks have appeared in the old castle walls in recent years. There are also problems with the paving and the pond.
When it became apparent in the early 1980s that the original castle was subsiding, it was decided to demolish the scene and rebuild it. The current structure dates from 1981. Now, 42 years later, the ravages of time have taken hold again.
Efteling wants to do something about this, starting with the stones on the stairs to the castle. They have become too slippery due to wear. "To prevent unsafe situations, this path is being tackled," says project leader Mark Elings. The immediate surroundings are also taken into account.
A few days after this photo the renovation started and the visitors were bypassed by a temporary path arpund this castle directly to the Kabouterdorp (Gnome Village)
Doornroosje
Doornroosje is the first fairytale in the route of the fairytale forest is also one of the oldest fairy tales in the history of De Efteling.
It is also one of the first ten fairytales at the opening in 1952, designed by Anton Pieck, although the current scene dates from 1981 and has some adjustments from Ton van de Ven. It is depicted with a castle on a hill, where visitors can climb up a staircase to look through windows through the bedroom where Doornroosje rests and the angry fairy sits on the spinning wheel. The chefs sleep in the kitchen.
