A photo of Canary Wharf, to mark its 20th birthday and to celebrate the Festival of Architecture taking place in London.

 

Canary Wharf is a large business and shopping development in London, located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, centred on the old West India Docks in the London Docklands.

 

Rivalling London's traditional financial centre, The Square Mile, Canary Wharf contains the UK's three tallest buildings: One Canada Square (sometimes known as the Canary Wharf Tower) at 771 ft (235.1 m)

Este es un dragón marino, pariente del caballito de mar, en el Acuario Georgia de Atlanta. Viendo las noticias me enteré que por primera vez en la historia del acuario uno de ellos queda embarazado. En cautiverio esto sólo había ocurrido en otros dos lugares: el Acuario del Pacífico en Long Beach y en el Acuario de Melbourne. Lamentablemente, están en peligro de extinción.

 

English

This is a weedy sea dragon, a relative of the seahorse, at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. Watching the news, I found out that for the first time in the aquarium history one of them has gotten pregnant. Only two facilities in the world to have successfully bred weedy sea dragons in captivity: the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach and the Melbourne Aquarium. Sadly, they are an endangered species.

Breukelen is a municipality and town in the Netherlands, in the province of Utrecht. It is situated to the north west of Utrecht, along the river Vecht and close to the Loosdrechtse Plassen, an area of lakes and great natural beauty. During the 17th century a number of Amsterdam merchant families built opulent mansions along the river near Breukelen. This park belongs to the castle of Gunterstein next to the river Vecht.

The borough of Brooklyn, New York in the United States, is named after Breukelen.

 

This photo was taken at the park of Castle Gunterstein. Such a quiet and forgotten park since we didn't met anybody during our 2 hour walk. That's very rare in Holland ;-)

 

Gunterstein is een kasteel gelegen aan de oostzijde van de Utrechtse Vecht in de Nederlandse gemeente Breukelen in de provincie Utrecht. Het huis werd in 1680 gebouwd nadat het oude kasteel Gunterstein kort na het Rampjaar in 1673 was verwoest door Franse troepen. Rond het kasteel ligt een parkbos. Een deel van het gebied is weiland met houtwallen en het oostelijke deel bestaat uit populierenbos. Vroeger waren delen van het landgoed in gebruik als moestuin, boomgaard en hakhout. In de Franse tijd kwam daar een siertuin bij en zichtlanen om het huis meer aanzien te geven. Vanaf de tijd dat de Engels landschapsstijl in de mode kwam werd het park meer en meer natuurlijk en gebruikt om tot rust te komen. In de binnentuin bevindt zich een schitterende mammoetboom, een Ginkgo biloba en een moerascypres. Nu wordt het nog steeds gebruikt om rustig in te wandelen.

City Hall is the headquarters of the Greater London Authority which comprises the Mayor of London and London Assembly. It located in Southwark, stands on the south bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge. Designed by Norman Foster, it opened in July 2002.

 

The building has an unusual bulbous shape, intended to reduce its surface area and thus improve energy efficiency. It has been compared variously to Darth Vader's helmet, a misshapen egg, a human scrotum, a woodlouse or a motorcycle helmet. Former mayor Ken Livingstone referred to it as a "glass testicle".[1][2] The new mayor, Boris Johnson, has referred to it more politely as 'The Onion'. Its designers reportedly saw the building as a giant sphere hanging over the Thames, but opted for a more conventionally rooted building instead. It has no front or back on conventional terms but derives its shape from a modified sphere.

   

Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, England over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London. Tower Bridge is one of several London bridges owned and maintained by the City Bridge Trust, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation.

 

The bridge consists of two towers which are tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways which are designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge to the left and the right. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. Its present colour dates from 1977 when it was painted red, white and blue for the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Before this, it was painted a chocolate brown colour.[1]

 

Tower Bridge is sometimes mistakenly referred to as London Bridge, which is actually the next bridge upstream.[2] A popular urban legend is that, in 1968 Robert McCulloch, the purchaser of the old London Bridge which was later shipped to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, believed mistakenly that he was buying Tower Bridge, but this was denied by McCulloch himself and has been debunked by Ivan Luckin, the seller of the bridge.[3]

◘ Local: Pórtico de entrada do Alto do Moura.

◘ Informação Adicional: O Alto do Moura é um bairro do município de Caruaru, capital do agreste pernambucano, localizado a cerca de 135 km do Recife. Reconhecido pela Unesco como o maior Centro de Artes Figurativas das Américas, no Alto do Moura praticamente toda casa é ateliê e todo morador é artesão.

 

A arte do barro, passada de geração para geração, retrata cenas do cotidiano e dos costumes do povo nordestino. Mestre Vitalino, que começou a modelar bonecos aos seis anos de idade, foi o primeiro artista da comunidade a ganhar fama nacional e internacional. Hoje, a cerâmica figurativa e utilitária do Alto do Moura ultrapassa as fronteiras do país. (fonte: Imaginário Pernambucano)

 

Considerado pela UNESCO - O maior Centro de Artes Figurativas das Américas, é o Alto do Moura uma comunidade de artistas. Distante 7 Km do centro da cidade de Caruaru, este povoado concentra mais de 1.000 artesãos que moldam dia-a-dia o homem nordestino, levando nossa cultura até os pontos mais distantes do nosso planeta. Lá, cada residência se transforma em ateliê, envolvendo toda a comunidade local, desde o mais simples ajudante àqueles que moldam o barro transformando-o em arte. Hoje, arte e artesãos vêem suas peças ultrapassarem as fronteiras do país, retratando uma terra, sua cultura, seu povo, sua gente. (Fonte: Prefeitura Municipal de Caruaru)

The dunes were formed from sand deposits of the Rio Grande and its tributaries, flowing through the San Luis Valley. Over the ages, westerly winds picked up sand particles from the river flood plain. As the wind lost power before crossing the Sangre de Cristo Range, the sand was deposited on the east edge of the valley. This process continues, and the dunes are slowly growing. The wind changes the shape of the dunes daily.

 

There are several streams flowing on the perimeter of the dunes. The streams erode the edge of the dune field, and sand is carried downstream. The water disappears into the ground, depositing sand on the surface. Winds pick up the deposits of sand, and blow them up onto the dune field once again.

 

Digging a few inches into the dunes even at their peaks reveals wet sand. If the streams were to dry up, the dunes would disappear; in fact part of the motivation of turning the Monument into a National Park was the extra protection of the water, which Colorado's cities and agriculture covet. -Wikipedia

Awful weather here in Piedmont. Turin is on state of calamity and rain is falling without a break. Today I couldn't reach my office, as the railway lines were interrupted.
