Sidewalk views: Friendship - or: Gang of Five
Strolling around at Prater in Vienna, one of my friends wanted to take us to a nice photo stop nearby, to the campus of the "Vienna University of Economics and Business" ("Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien" or "WU Wien" in short, as it is called in German). He told us, that there's lots of modern architecture, especially the "Library & Learning Center" (LLC), which was planned by the famous architect Zaha Hadid.
So we walked there - and in fact, it was breath taking, especially with the bright, sunny weather! This architecture made us wish go back to academic studies as our former campus in a different town was by far less inspiring.
I somehow liked the wavy lines from the architecture, the hard shadows and the accidentally nice alignment of the five fellow students - I assume they are friends, as they were in good mood chatting.
I hope you like it, too!

Seek, and you will find. It amazes me how certain elements within nature just come together. Its kinda like peanut butter and jelly. I scouted this area out for sometime when I came across this section of mud tiles that caught my eye. I noticed that this small section had the perfect pyramid formation that pointed straight out into the badlands.
Hope all you guys out there are doing well. Summer is almost over! YAY!!!!! Stay cool out, the fall is almost here.
Lots of new images coming soon!!! Peace and Love.
A black and white version of an earlier shot of the log storage lagoons on the River Clyde. About 2 acres of these are found in the shallows near Port Glasgow, used extensively during the Clydes ship building period the area stored a vast amount of logs to be used in the ship building process.
The next day we boarded the boat that would take us iceberg hunting. We found a few and were amazed at how cold it would become the closer we got. As we circled the behemoth, I noticed the thin cloud above and aligned the two as we rounded it again.
The core of the Milky Way with the Carina nebula and the Southern Cross. This is a panorama taken using a Nodal Ninja rotator, stitched and edited in Lightroom. I cut the ends down a bit due to light pollution and sky glow. I didn't have the rotator properly lined up so the Milky Way isn't as straight as it should be, tricky to do when it is nearly overhead, and dark! The shots were taken north of Port Wakefield, SA. The comet Linear is in the top left quarter in this shot too!
Another photo of North Head, South Battery, Auckland with the disappearing gun.
Again taken by drone to get that extra height and view.
Super wide angle view. I likie the way the palm tree points to the darker line in the clouds towards the top.
Low Fog Sunset at Golden Gate Bridge, taken from a small airplane.
The sunset burn w/low fog was predicted by Yiupai sunrise/sunset forecast service.

This is buzz track, an alignment film for 35mm optical soundheads. Each toothed pattern on the sides of the black stripe produces a square wave, which appears as a sharp buzzing noise when played through speakers. (By the way, playing a square wave through a speaker, except at a very low volume, is an excellent way to destroy it.) An oscilloscope is recommended instead of speakers for the task.
The track is spaced so that when the soundhead's lateral (left/right) guide roller is adjusted properly, neither track should be picked up. A higher-pitched buzz (and, possibly, a motorboat-like sound from the sprocket holes) will occur if the film is guided too far leftward; too far to the right, a lower-pitched buzz will be generated.
This is my first photo series here on Flickr. Welcome to the "Theatre of Glass".
I will be uploading more to this collection as time goes on.
All comments welcome and thank you! :)
Not necessary to be the highest, but the best it can be ....
The view is looking out across Conwy Bay to the Isle of Anglesey.
At it's furthest point east in this photo is Penmon Point - an ancient holy site with the remains of the 6th century priory, St Sieriol's well, a church, Trwyn Du lighthouse, an impressive dovecote and a superb view across the water to Puffin Island and mainland Wales.
According to legend, Seiriol and Saint Cybi were good friends and would meet weekly near Llanerchymedd, at the Clorach wells. Saint Cybi would walk from Holyhead, facing the rising sun in the morning and setting sun in the evening. Saint Cybi was known as Cybi Felyn (Cybi the Tanned), as he was tanned during his journey. Seiriol, travelling in the opposite direction, from Penmon, would have his back to the sun.Thus, he was known as Seiriol Wyn (Seiriol the Fair). -

The Kermario Alignment consists of 1029 stones in ten columns, about 1,300 m (4,300 ft) in length. This alignment is also called the "House of the Dead."
The granite structure in the foreground is a dolmen -- or burial chamber -- and was originally completely covered by an earth mound. The menhirs -- standing stones -- in the background are generally smaller than those in the Ménec alignment and were installed later.
One theory is that the alignments are a giant necropolis, with each stone representing a leader. Each row could represent a different tribe. The dolmen could have been the burial site of a very important person, perhaps a religious figure. Although archeologists have not been able to prove that human remains and artifacts found around dolmens date from the time when the stones were originally set in place, it is a story that appeals to the imagination.
Hope you have a good start to the new week. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your visits, comments, awards and faves.

This weekend was Mum and Dads birthday, Mum who was a year younger - would catch up to Dad for one day each year in a Brigadoon kind way.
We lost them both a few years back and normally I'd go home to Werri Beach and say G'day to them at the ocean - like eveything else this year lockdown has stolen that chance as well.
So I went to the place I feel most at peace - Lake Illawarra, for the sunset today and remembered you pair and hope you had a great birthday up there.
Happy Birthday Mum an Dad.
Keeping the cobwebs off the 200/3.5 Tak. It takes some patience (& some luck TBH) but it really delivers when the planets line up.

A reminder from Yin that we are still in winter.
Societal norms expect us to get back to work soon after the Christmas and New Year celebrations but this is completely out of alignment with our natural rhythms.
It should be a time to re-charge in readiness for spring.
Ah .... the wisdom of cats.
less about making a good picture, more about recognising conditions in which your phone will cooperate...
Chicago South Shore winds its way through a residential area of Hammond, IN, with cars for Chicago interchange. In 2021, work started here to realign the railroad and remove the reverse curves in an effort to accommodate expansion for commuter agency NICTD. The mainline is now about 40 feet behind where I am standing, and this area is now access and parking for the new Hammond Gateway Station.
