Within its gates I heard the sound
Of winds in cypress caverns caught
Of huddling tress that moaned, and sought
To whisper what their roots had found.

This dragonfly was seen this autumn at Lake Lotus Park in Altamonte Springs, Florida, USA. I like its blue - green eyes.
These vertical crops show a lot more detail in large size.

Happy 57th Birthday, Malaysia!
Please enjoy another aerial view of the metropolis that we know as Kuala Lumpur!
In the lower right of the image, you can see the curvature of the River Klang. A major highway flanks both sides of the Klang, where it will eventually meet its tributary, the River Gombak. The meeting of these two rivers is the foundation that gives Kuala Lumpur its name (“Muddy Confluence” in English).
I wish I had had more time to explore, but the memories and experiences were and continue to be unforgettable. In my most recent blog entry, I describe my encounter with the Malaysian military and the full experience of my aerial photography flight with the pilot who initially refused to land the plane upon my request. If you’re interested, the article is called, “A (Somewhat) Comedic Conflict of Cultures above Kuala Lumpur”.
Silakan! Jumpa lagi! / Enjoy! See you soon!

Wat Ratchanaddaram is a buddhist temple (wat) located at the intersection between Ratchadamnoen Klang and Maha Chai Road, in Phra Nakhon district, Bangkok. Meaning Royal Niece, the temple was built to the order of King Nangklao (Rama III) for Mom Chao Ying Sommanus Wattanavadi in 1846.
The temple is best known for the Loha Prasat (โลหะปราสาท), a multi-tiered structure 36 m high and having 37 metal spires, signifying the 37 virtues toward enlightenment. It is the third Loha Prasada (brazen palace) in existence, modelled after the earlier ones in India and Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. In the past, Loha Prasat was hidden behind an old movie theatre named Chalerm Thai. The theatre were demolished in 1989 as a project to improve scenery along Ratchadamnoen Road.
In 2005, the temple was submitted to UNESCO for consideration as a future World Heritage Site. (Wikipedia)

Industrial bin after loading with building rubble hanging at chains seen against deep blue clear sky
On my way home from work I saw this container hanging at a construction crane in the air. I already wanted to leave the construction area behind me. Then I turned round and went back, thought this might be a nice shot ;-).
---------------------------------------------
I'm still here but I have not so much time to upload. Hope you are all well. Wish you all a nice weekend and a happy summer :) !
By the way ... one week ago I reached 15 Mio views ... many thanks to all my visitors and flickr friends!!

One of the twins getting a little exercise running about. In general, this is the view I get of the babies. On this occasion, they were doing laps in the front yard. This one came out of the grass and almost ran into me!!!! A split second later and back into the grass! I will say we've been enjoying the "new" front yard.
Per te che curi questo amore
come fosse un fiore delicato
e ci metti tutto,
tutto ciò che riesci a dare,
e comprendi un mondo
che i miei occhi
sanno appena immaginare...

The Junkers Ju 88 was a German World War II Luftwaffe twin-engined multirole combat aircraft. Designed by Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke (JFM) in the mid-1930s to be a so-called Schnellbomber ("fast bomber") which would be too fast for any of the fighters of its era to intercept, it suffered from a number of technical problems during the later stages of its development and early operational roles, but became one of the most versatile combat aircraft of the war. Affectionately known as the "Maid of All (Work)" (Mädchen für Alles),[citation needed] the Ju 88 proved to be suited to almost any role. Like a number of other Luftwaffe bombers, it was used successfully as a bomber, dive bomber, night fighter, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, heavy fighter and even, during the closing stages of the conflict in Europe, as a flying bomb.
Despite its protracted development, the aircraft became one of the Luftwaffe's most important assets. The assembly line ran constantly from 1936 to 1945, and more than 16,000 Ju 88s were built in dozens of variants, more than any other twin-engine German aircraft of the period. Throughout the production, the basic structure of the aircraft remained unchanged.
-Ju 88 A-5, Werk Nr. 0886146 with Stammkennzeichen of CV+VP
This aircraft is held at the Deutsches Technikmuseum near Berlin. It was delivered to the Luftwaffe in June 1940 and assigned to the bomber unit Kampfgeschwader 54, who flew it in the Battle of Britain and during the German invasion of the Soviet Union.
By June 1942, it was serving with a training unit, Kampffliegerschule 3 based on the German Baltic coast. On the night of the 29 June, it was stolen by two German personnel who intended to fly to Britain and defect to the Allied side. The attempt failed and the aircraft came down in Kilsfjord, a fjord near Kragerø, Norway. One man drowned but the other, Willi Voss, was rescued by Norwegian civilians. However, he was subsequently captured, returned to Germany and executed in January 1943, even though some accounts claim Voss was forced by the other man to fly at gunpoint. The aircraft flew was recovered in August 2000. Restoration work was carried out in Norway between 2000 and 2004; it was moved to Germany in August 2006.

Le Chrysler Building est un gratte-ciel situé à New York, aux États-Unis, et plus précisément à l’intersection de la Lexington Avenue et de la 42e rue, dans le quartier de Midtown dans l'arrondissement de Manhattan. D'une hauteur de 319 mètres jusqu'à la pointe de sa flèche, il fut la plus haute structure du monde, après la tour Eiffel (324m), en 1930 et 1931, jusqu'à la construction de l'Empire State Building.
En 2005, un sondage du Skyscraper Museum auprès de personnes dont le métier est lié à l'architecture a fait ressortir le Chrysler Building comme étant leur gratte-ciel favori de New York.
La construction du Chrysler Building, supervisée par l'architecte américain William Van Alen, s’est étalée entre 1928 et 1930, l'inauguration ayant eu lieu le 27 mai 1930. Il a été déclaré National Historic Landmark le 8 décembre 1976. Le Chrysler Building a été rénové en 1978, avec la construction d'un hall, composé essentiellement de marbre, d'acier et de granite, semblable à celui de l’Empire State Building. En outre, la flèche a été rénovée en 1995, car l’acier inoxydable avait perdu de son éclat avec le temps. Le bâtiment appartient aujourd’hui à Abu Dhabi Investment Council (75 %) et à Tishman Speyer Properties (25 %).

_______________________________
The Chrysler Building is an Art Deco style skyscraper in New York City, located on the east side of Manhattan in the Turtle Bay area at the intersection of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue. At 1,046 feet (319 m), the structure was the world's tallest building for 11 months before it was surpassed by the Empire State Building in 1931. It is still the tallest brick building in the world, albeit with an internal steel skeleton. After the destruction of the World Trade Center, it was again the second-tallest building in New York City until December 2007, when the spire was raised on the 1,200-foot (365.8 m) Bank of America Tower, pushing the Chrysler Building into third position. In addition, The New York Times Building, which opened in 2007, is exactly level with the Chrysler Building in height. Both buildings were then pushed into 4th position, when the under construction One World Trade Center surpassed their height.
The Chrysler Building is a classic example of Art Deco architecture and considered by many contemporary architects to be one of the finest buildings in New York City. In 2007, it was ranked ninth on the List of America's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects. It was the headquarters of the Chrysler Corporation from 1930 until the mid-1950s. Although the building was built and designed specifically for the car manufacturer, the corporation did not pay for the construction of it and never owned it, as Walter P. Chrysler decided to pay for it himself, so that his children could inherit it.
We see Grand Canal, Riva del Vin, Riva del Ferro and Vaporetto station

Then maybe at the closing of your day,
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay"

A cidade de Malmo, devastada por um passado industrial, é hoje conhecida por a sua universidade e os seus prédios verdes. Malmo foi uma das primeiras e mais industrializadas cidades da Escandinávia, mas teve de fazer um enorme esforça para se adaptar ao pós-industrialismo. Desde a construção da ponte de Oresund, Malmo sofreu uma grande transformação com a evolução arquitetónica, atraindo nova biotecnologia e empresas de topo e particularmente, alunos de todo o mundo para a Universidade de Malmo, fundada em 1998. A cidade tem muitos edifícios históricos e belíssimos parques naturais que fazem dela uma cidade verde e bastante atrativa para se viver.
Como é belo o entardecer na cidade de Malmo, um entardecer que na maioria das vezes nos passa completamente ao lado, tal é a nossa ânsia de viver, um momento que deveria ser vivido com a mesma intensidade com que se vivem as grandes ocasiões da nossa vida. O pôr-do-sol é normalmente mais brilhante do que o nascer do sol, pois a matiz do vermelho e laranja são mais intensas e vibrantes. A atmosfera responde de diversas formas à exposição da luz solar, em particular, no final do dia, pois a atmosfera tende a reter uma quantidade maior de partículas em suspensão do que no início do dia. Durante o dia, o sol aquece a superfície terrestre, diminuindo assim a humidade do ar e aumentando a velocidade e a turbulência dos ventos, o que acaba por levantar a poeira para o ar. Contudo, as diferenças entre o nascer do sol e o pôr-do-sol, em alguns casos, também dependem das peculiaridades geográficas do local de onde o evento está a ser observado.
Aqui em Malmo, o entardecer de repente tornou-se diferente, mais belo e chamativo que o habitual, mais mágico e encantador, mais atrativo luminoso e delicado, talvez por ter sido o pôr-do-sol mais a norte da Europa que tenhamos presenciado. Diz a ciência que a luz do Sol sofre um desvio gerado pela atmosfera, por isso, o sol ainda pode ser visto depois de já estar atrás do horizonte físico. Este efeito também se manifesta durante o nascer do sol. Outra curiosidade gerada pela distorção da luz solar pela atmosfera é que o sol também aparenta ser maior no horizonte, uma ilusão de ótica similar a que ocorre com a Lua.
