Night photo of Downtown Dallas taken 06-26-10 from the west of Downtown. As a point of reference, the currently tallest structure in the Dallas cityscape is the Bank of America Tower at 72 stories and 921 feet in height, the 20th tallest building in the United States, lined in green argon.
Downtown Dallas with its Uptown District contains 50,319,621 square feet of office space per the latest 3Q10 office report from CoStar - the largest of any urban core in Texas. As a comparison Houston's CBD, the second largest in Texas, contains 43,129,432 square feet of office space per the latest 3Q10 office report from Transwestern. The Downtown Dallas CBD is 17% larger than Houston's.
[Editors note: CoStar and Transwestern count both single tenant and multi-tenant buildings, which provides a much clearer picture of a cities office space market. Dallas has several very large Downtown tenants that occupy multiple buildings as single tenants (i.e. AT&T's World Headquarters fully occupies three or four buildings, Hunt Oil occupies a building it built for itself, Belo Broadcasting occupies several office buildings, etc.). Other office reports such as Cushman Wakefield, Grubb & Ellis and CBRE count only multi-tenant buildings in their reports, providing an incomplete and distorted view of office space in a city.]
Museum Tower, at 560 feet tall and 42 stories costing $200 million dollars, is under construction (its construction crane is not yet in place and visible in this photo but will soon be as the foundation excavation is proceeding at a rapid pace).
The 5.2 acre Woodall Rodgers Urban Park is under construction. The Woodall Rodgers Urban park is creating a "Central Park" like setting amidst the skyscrapers of Downtown Dallas and will be the "front lawn" to Museum Tower. The Woodall Rodgers Urban Park is costing $110 million dollars.
Woodall Rodgers Freeway is becoming the new 21st century "Main Street" of Downtown Dallas with the intense development that has occurred fronting Woodall Rodgers Freeway from both the south (the traditional Dallas CBD) and the north (Dallas CBD's Uptown district) sides of the freeway.
The amount of construction activity in the immediate and near vicinity of Woodall Rodgers has become a major hotbed of skyscraper development for Dallas, currently now and going forward into the future.
The Calatrava Bridge, center left photo in foreground, at 400 feet tall and costing $165 million dollars, is under construction and is extending Woodall Rodgers Freeway across the Trinity River into Oak Cliff/West Dallas on the west side of Downtown Dallas. Calatrava Bridge will make a dramatic impact on the skyline as it will have wire suspensions stretching in both directions, will be painted white and illuminated at night, creating a dramatic visual sculpture on the Downtown cityscape.
The Calatrava Bridge is a keystone development that will open up hundreds of millions, and ultimately billions of dollars, of development along the Trinity River Lakes project that is unfolding at the doorstep of Downtown Dallas. The Downtown Dallas central core will then not only have jumped over Woodall Rodgers Freeway to encompass what is now its Uptown District to the north but will also jump over the Trinity River to include skyscraper and highrise development on the Oak Cliff/West Dallas side of the Trinity River to the west via the Calatrava Bridge.
While some may like to call it a bridge to nowhere, in fact it is THE bridge to the future.
Plans call for over 30,000,000 square feet of new dense urban highrise and skyscraper development to be built in West Dallas along with the addition of 24,000 residents in the next 17 years ... pretty incredible growth. It is the Calatrava Bridge and the new frontier it will open up that will catapult Dallas into its status as the "Chicago of the South" by 2030.
Here is the planned development guideline developed by the City for the new urban frontier of West Dallas:

The 14 story Perot Museum of Nature and Science is also under construction. This is a spectacular museum addition to the Downtown Dallas core; the Perot Museum is costing $185 million dollars.
The Museum's 4.7 acre site is located at the NW corner of Woodall Rodgers Freeway and Field Street, adjacent to Victory Park. The Museum will be situated at the crossroads of the future Trinity River Corridor Project, the Arts District, the West End, Uptown, and other popular attractions.
Also currently under construction is the Dallas City Performance Hall in the Dallas Arts District. The City Performance Hall is a magnificent facility in the world class Dallas Arts District and is costing $100 million dollars. The Dallas Arts District is the largest arts district in the nation, spanning 68 acres and 19 contiguous blocks in Downtown Dallas.
The Omni Hotel, a 1,001 room, 23 story, 376 foot tall hotel costing half a billion dollars, sheathed in blue glass, next to the Dallas Convention Center is under construction on the far right of the photo.
The Omni Hotel is located on 8 acres in the heart of downtown, which is experiencing a renaissance from more than $14 billion in new development underway in and near the urban core. Two acres of the Omni Hotel site are slated for additional dining, retail and other venues which will enhance entertainment opportunities for those who visit, work or live downtown.
First Baptist Church of Downtown Dallas has started work on a massive development to its Downtown Dallas campus. Several older buildings are slated to be imploded on Oct. 30, 2010 to make room for the significant new development that will be occurring. Cranes for the development will appear later once the excavation and ground work is completed. First Baptist Downtown Dallas is spending $130 million dollars on their new campus development.
As a further indication of the booming Downtown Dallas corridor, a $100 million dollar 23 story upscale apartment building called 1400 Hi Line is under construction as of 01-19-11 at the corner of Hi Line and Stemmons Freeway. The new highrise will front Stemmons and will be located across the freeway from the American Airlines Center. A nearby DART rail station will serve the residents of the 1400 Hi Line highrise.

The total of just the projects listed above equals $1.5 billion dollars in new development underway in Downtown Dallas at this moment, but the above list is by no means inclusive of all construction projects in process. A total of more than $14 billion dollars in construction outlays are occurring right now in Downtown and near Downtown Dallas!
What is amazing is the level of significant financial investment that is occurring in Downtown Dallas during an economic downturn in the nation's economy - but Dallas is still growing, building and investing in itself today for a much better tomorrow.

The Ancient Art of Kushti
The ancient traditional art of Indian wrestling, known as ‘kushti’, thrives in wrestling gyms, or ‘akhara’, scattered around the country. Akhara are one of the few places in India where Hindu men who come from different castes are considered equals.
Guru Hanuman Akhara is a wrestling training centre. Established in 1925 at Shakti Nagar, near Roshanara Bagh in North Delhi soon became an epicentre of Indian wrestling. Situated in the Old Delhi region, this akhara is said to have produced some of the brightest Indian wrestlers.

Antinous (ca. 110 – 130 AD), the “favourite” of Emperor Hadrian, is here represented as the agricultural deity Aristaeus, the Greek divinity associated with gardens and the discovery the art of bee-keeping.
Aristaeus, who once was a mortal, ascended to the dignity of a god through the benefits he had conferred upon mankind. He is described either as a son of Uranus and Ge, or according to a more general tradition, as the son of Apollo by Cyrene.
Aristaeus was worshipped in various parts of Greece, as in Thessaly, Ceos, and Boeotia, but especially in the islands of the Aegean, Ionian, and Adriatic seas. Aristaeus is one of the most beneficent divinities in ancient mythology: he was worshipped as the protector of flocks and shepherds, of vine and olive plantations; he taught men to hunt and keep bees, and averted from the fields the burning heat of the sun and other causes of destruction; he was a θεὸς νόμιος (god of floks), ἀγρεύς (god of plantations), and ἀλεξητήρ (defender). The benefits which he conferred upon man, differed in different places according to their especial wants: Ceos, which was much exposed to heat and droughts, received through him rain and refreshing winds; in Thessaly and Arcadia he was the protector of the flocks and bees.

The Münster of Bern (German: Berner Münster) is the Gothic cathedral in the old city of Bern, Switzerland. Construction started in 1421.
On a walk around Mona Vale with a Flickr freind May 2019 Christchurch New Zealand.
Mona Vale, with its homestead formerly known as Karewa, is a public park of 4 ha in the Christchurch suburb of Fendalton. The homestead and gate house are both listed as heritage buildings with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT). The fernery and the rose garden, and pavilion with the setting of the park along the Avon River, add to the attractiveness of the property. It is one of the major tourist attractions of Christchurch.
The land initially belonged to the Deans brothers, whose homestead is Riccarton House in Riccarton. William Derisley Wood leased the land and built what became known as Wood's Mill. The weir in the Avon River was built in the 19th century and forms the Mona Vale mill pond, which still exists today.
Frederick Waymouth and his wife Alice purchased four acres of land and had a homestead built in 1899–1900, designed by architect Joseph Clarkson
Maddison.Waymouth, who called the homestead Karewa, was the Managing Director of Canterbury Frozen Meats. Maddison was a well-known Christchurch architect, who amongst other buildings designed the freezing works in the Christchurch suburb of Belfast. It is thought that this connection between Waymouth and Maddison led to this commission.
The Mona Vale gate house in 2007
Waymouth sold the property to Annie Quayle Townend in 1905, who renamed it to Mona Vale after her mother's house in Tasmania. She was the daughter of a wealthy Canterbury run-holder, George Moore of Glenmark Station. She was his only surviving daughter and he had bequeathed her one million pounds, apparently making her New Zealand's richest woman at the time. Townend added nine acres of land to the property and had a gate house built just off Fendalton Road. After the New Zealand International Exhibition, held in Hagley Park, finished in 1907, she purchased the exhibitions fernery including its plants and had it reassembled at Mona Vale. The present collection of ferns were supplied by Landcare Research in Lincoln, the Christchurch Botanic Gardens and the private collection of the late Arthur Ericson. Townend also added the bathhouse to the property. She died in 1914.
The property was sold in 1962 to the Church of the Latter Day Saints. When the church intended to subdivide the property and to demolish the homestead, a public outcry resulted in community fund-raising. The Christchurch City Council and the Riccarton Borough Council bought Mona Vale in June 1969 for the purpose of turning it into a public park. The purchase of Mona Vale is credited to Christchurch mayor Ron Guthrey.
Until the 2010 Canterbury earthquake, the homestead was operated as a restaurant, café and function centre, often used for weddings. The building is currently closed due to earthquake damage.
The pediment of the Madeleine church in Paris depicts Mary Magdalene interceding for sinners at the Last Judgement. It was designed by Philippe Joseph Henri Lemaire.

As every september, we have a must with this medieval rite, where people of Tordesillas SP, chases on foot or horseback, the bull up the hill.
Up there it kills the beast, with spears and knifes.
It's an good and exciting tradition, and is to last forever

Plaza de América. Vigo. (Con la nefasta "guillotina").
Llamado así el barrio, "Las Traviesas", por la cantidad de calles y líneas de tranvía que se atravesaban en ese lugar.
El depósito-estación de Tranvías Eléctricos de Vigo estaba a pocos metros, al comenzar la Avenida de La Florida.
Y su estación estrella, con jardín zoológico incluído, un poco más abajo, en San Antonio, para la mágica línea Vigo-Bayona.
Nada queda de eso, que rima con progreso.

Since a cold was flirtling with me all day yesterday - tried hard to keep my chin up! -causing ugly headacahe, inabitlity to concertrate and tireness, setting the table for dinner and preparing it was the most creative part of the day. Sad but true.
Green salad is full with vitamin C, so some fresh came form the grocery store, hoping to give my organism a positive boost...and it did....I have today to completely recover, as we are leaving for a short trip, on a long weekend tomorrow...and the sun will be coming out in this part of the world! Yay : )!

As I watched the sun set over the southern Nevada landscape, the sense of vastness and absolute quiet overwhelmed me, washing away all the noise of the days politics and the stress of an intense work week.

You can check the map. This was at The Great Salt Lake near Saltair. It was my first time in this area, and I thought I'd walk to the water. I think I got about half way there before realizing the water was still way off in the distance. I'm glad that I turned around.
This was one of the last shots I took before I decided to head back. I always underestimate just how far I've walked on my way out. A couple of miles back to my car, in the dark, in an area I've never been to before, is peacefully creepy. (That was a lot of commas.) Part of me enjoyed the absolute silence and part of me just wanted civilization. After walking a couple of miles I ended up with both.
9. Spring
NOTHING is so beautiful as spring—
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;
The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush
The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush
With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.
What is all this juice and all this joy?
A strain of the earth’s sweet being in the beginning
In Eden garden.—Have, get, before it cloy,
Before it cloud, Christ, lord, and sour with sinning,
Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy,
Most, O maid’s child, thy choice and worthy the winning.
— Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–89). Poems. 1918.

Located in Shamrock Texas, this was originally known as radio station KEVA-1580AM. It was a 250 watt radio station. Today, it's Closed/No longer in existence.
Seen here, the turntables & Cart machine.
KEVA-AM got its start in 1949. Owned then by Albert Cooper.
*Bill Mack started out at KEVA-1580AM in 1949. He was the first voice on KEVA! In 1969, Bill Mack went on to be known as "The Midnight Cowboy" on the powerhouse clear channel station, WBAP-820AM. Bill was interviewed by Bob Mauldin on Mauldin's Tv show "Expedition Texas" & told his adventure on this station. Bill was born & grew up in Shamrock Texas.*
Later on, possibly in the 1970's, the station call letters were changed to KBYP-AM.
Today, sadly, the structure sits vacant & abandoned.
**A HUGE Thank You to The Mayor of Shamrock Texas, Buc Weatherby, for giving us permission to "snoop around" & take some cool shots of the ole radio station!!

I'm beginning a new series of photos here revisiting pics from 2018 when I took the opportunity to be back in full make-up, and to be out in public en femme for the first time then in 4+ years. These 2018 pics are somewhat deeply buried in my flickr photostream, and yet include many of my favorites, with some great outfits, heels, and accessories.
These are from 6 years ago, but it feels like longer, what with the pandemic in the intervening period, and so much changed in these 6 years.
The setting in this pic is a dressing room at my local Macy's.
Anyhow, as usual I really enjoy color-coordinating attractive/sexy/cute outfits, and this one features:
* Forever 21 taupe faux-suede ultra-high-heel peeptoe pumps;
* a Forever 21 beige-ish striped lace-up-scoopneck knit dress;
* a Forever 21 taupe faux-suede waist-belt;
* an Anne Klein taupe handbag;
* Forever 21 nude wide-net fishnet tights;
* a beige fringed scarf;
* gold rings, earrings, necklace, watch, and bracelets.
Let me know your thoughts... :-)

Understandably, eyes cling to Loch Ness searching for a legend,
a mystery, an apparition or a living, prehistoric,
aquatic creature or colony of such creatures.
However, having been born in Inverness and having visited this loch many, many times, I appreciate its scale, drama, moods and undeniable beauty.
Even in misty, windy or snowy conditions in spring, summer, autumn or winter, it has an atmosphere, a spirit, a charisma,
that is utterly captivating.
As beautiful as it may seem, I am not a twinkling Christmas star - - - but a part of the historical Moscow metro ;-)

Quo Vadis?
Where are you going?
Gone to the Gods.
To a Forum without form.
After the Fall.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Futurama episode Jurassic Bark, When Bender sees a 20th Century Pizza Parlour in a museum he remarks, "Truly, they were as gods who built this place!"
It's considered that this may be a reference to By The Waters Of Babylon, a 1937 science fiction short story by Stephen Vincent Benet. Babylon is a post-holocaust story, set sometime after a future war has destroyed our present civilization, and the descendants of the survivours wander amongst the ruins wondering at the nature of those who built the abandoned marvels surrounding them. In many respects this is similar to how some later peoples regarded monolithic architectural remains of Roman, Egyptian and other fallen empires and kingdoms.
I took this picture inside Melbourne's Forum Theatre, while waiting for a performance to begin. It's the eastside interior scupture alcove flanking the stage, which, thanks to some clever perspective tricks, look astonishingly large. This is one of Austrian born American architect "Papa" John Eberson's many gaudy Greco-Roman fantasy embellishments in his 1929 Moorish Revival picture palace on the corner of Flinders and Russell Street in Melbourne, Australia. The Forum began life as a cinema and has experienced several reinventions as a live entertainment venue and a revivalist centre.
Eberson designed over 100 picture palaces the world over, many of which no longer exist or have been stripped of their interior decoration, makng the Forum a priceless relic.
Here's another interior detail:

My camera doesn't handle low lighting levels well and this area was beyond the range of the built in flash so I knew that the shot was going to come out very grainy but in this case that proved to be precisely the effect I wanted, along with a basic sepia filter.
St Kilda.
As the closest point on the coast to Salisbury and near the estuary of the Little Para River this quaint beachside town used to be the exclusive holiday haven of the wealthy from Salisbury. Fishermen huts were erected on the mud flats in the 1860s by some Salisbury residents. Then Thomas Evans surveyed the area in 1873 and the government township blocks of St Kilda were snapped up by Salisbury residents in 1874. John Harvey, the founder of Salisbury, is credited with naming the place because it reminded him of St. Kilda in the Outer Hebrides off Scotland according to the Register newspaper in 1896. St Kilda in the Hebrides and in SA had massive bird life. Certainly Harvey bought a block in 1874 so he might have been asked to suggest a name for the seaside town. Locals who had erected huts at St Kilda in the 1860s generally received £15 compensation for them. In 1895 Matthias Lucas got John Harvey in his old age to lay the foundation stone for a hotel, built of local Salisbury stone. This St Kilda hotel was licensed in 1898. In 1957 this hotel, at the height of popularity of an Australian song by Slim Dusty called the “pub with no beer,” became the pub with no beer. The licensee at that time Mr Waterman took the license from St. Kilda so that he could open the Hotel Elizabeth. It took a year for the new license to be issued for Elizabeth and then for the St. Kilda hotel to re-open. A school opened at St. Kilda near where the tram museum is located in 1902 and ran, except for a couple of years, through to 1949. In 1924 a Post Office also opened at the same spot, called Moilong Post Office. Moilong was adopted from an Aboriginal word meaning “where the tide comes in” to avoid confusion with that beachside suburb in Melbourne which is also called St. Kilda. But the name of Moilong was never popular. The Post Office was re-named St. Kilda Post Office in 1965. It closed in the 1970s. In more recent years St. Kilda has witnessed the opening of the tram museum in 1967; the opening of the tram track to the beach in 1974; the opening of the adventure playground in 1982; the opening of the Mangrove Board Walk in 1984; and the latest boat ramp in 2002. The salt crystallization lagoons behind St. Kilda are part of the former Imperial Chemical Industries and now Chatham salt works whereby the salt brine is pumped from the ocean into the pans and then circulated to Cavan where the pans dry out and the salt is harvested. These salt pans were dug by hand by unemployed men during the depression. They opened in 1936 and the salt, about 750,000 tons a year, was mainly used by Penrice Soda for their production of soda ash at Osborne. The salt pans stretch for 35 kms from beyond Port Gawler to Cavan/Dry Creek. But Penrice Soda has stopped production of soda ash in South Australia and the salt pans areas is due to be sold probably for housing or industry.
As a general observation over the years I have noticed in the main that coaches of AEC manufacture carry an AEC badge on the front. However this rather sad looking AEC Reliance 6U3ZR fitted with Plaxton 'Supreme Express' coachwork was an exception. ADF 871T was new to Marchant, Cheltenham in August 1978 and was a direct acquisition by present owner Mather, Blackpool in 1993. Here it is seen a very long way from home at Pool Valley Coach Station in Brighton on February 24th 1994.
