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!

L'acropoli è un termine (derivato dal greco ἄκρος "akros", alto, πὸλις "polis", città) che originariamente indicava la parte più alta della polis greca. Estendendone il significato, può essere chiamata "acropoli" la parte più eminente e fortificata di un'antica città.
Nella Grecia antica indicava quella parte della città che veniva costruita per ragioni difensive sulla sommità di un'altura e spesso cinta da mura. Iniziata a diffondersi nell'età del bronzo, la "parte alta" delle città greche, come Atene, in età micenea era il luogo di residenza del re, ma col tempo divenne il centro religioso dell'abitato, sede di templi e luoghi di riunione.
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 ;-).

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.
Mucho para esquiar y recorrer en esta cordilleras.

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

"If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
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"

Le pont de Manhattan est un pont suspendu de la ville de New York au-dessus de l'East River, qui relie la partie inférieure de l'île de Manhattan à l'arrondissement de Brooklyn. Les travaux du pont commencèrent en 1901, le 31 décembre 1909, le pont fût ouvert au public, mais sa construction (d'un coût de 31 millions de dollars de l'époque) n'était pas encore achevée. Il sera complètement terminé en 1912.
Le pont possède deux niveaux de circulation. Le niveau supérieur offre quatre voies pour les véhicules, deux dans chaque sens. Sur le niveau inférieur, on trouve 3 voies pour les véhicules, quatre voies ferrées pour le métro et une allée pour les piétons. À ce niveau, le sens de circulation peut être modulé selon les besoins du trafic : les trois voies dans le même sens, ou deux voies dans un sens et une à l'opposé.

The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan (at Canal Street) with Brooklyn (at Flatbush Avenue Extension). It was the last of the three suspension bridges built across the lower East River, following the Brooklyn and the Williamsburg bridges. The bridge was opened to traffic on December 31, 1909 and was designed by Leon Moisseiff, who later designed the infamous original Tacoma Narrows Bridge that opened and collapsed in 1940. It has four vehicle lanes on the upper level (split between two roadways). The lower level has three lanes, four subway tracks, a walkway and a bikeway. The upper level, originally used for streetcars, has two lanes in each direction, and the lower level is one-way and has three lanes in peak direction. It once carried New York State Route 27 and later was planned to carry Interstate 478. No tolls are charged for motor vehicles to use the Manhattan Bridge.
The Sea Arch Stack, Crohy Head, Maghery, County Donegal, Ireland
The first time I seen this amazing natural formation I thought it looked like something from the Prehistoric Ages!
It is located on a small peninsula called Crohy Head. Very difficult to climb down too and you even have to use a rope that is attached to some rocks on the cliff face!

Returning from Galway me and my cousin SJ seen this amazing sunset and raced my motor home as fast as we could go. Running out of location options we finally reached this amazing little spot just in the nick of time. I just managed to capture the sun right on the horizon just seconds before it vanished for another day...
