Europe, Portugal, Algarve, Sotavento, Olhão, Centre
Olhão is also known as “Cubist City”, because of its ‘white box’ North African-looking architecture, mainly consisting of white houses with flat roofs (the most basic form of a house) with a smaller rectangular structure (called a mirant ) on top that can be reached via an external staircase.
The similarity probably has to do with the trade with North African cities and the exchange of inhabitants. Although not entirely unique – many of the Sotavento towns and villages (eg Santa Luzia) have comparable architecture & urbanism, but not so condensed as in Olhão.
The Vila Cubista monicker was first used in 1925 in the book "Deus Pan" by José Dias Sancho.
Writers like him understood the city as cubist in the sense of the art movement (Bracques, Picasso). But this is of course somewhat unfortunate, considering the genesis of the town and the nature of Cubism. This movement was mainly about cultural commentary on the fragmentation of modern urban life and the identities of people, machines, and cities merging. Anachronism and ‘hineininterpreterung’ at play ;-)
This is number 11 of the Faro & Olhão album and 242 of Sotavento.
… the Ionic Villa, as the other five Regent’s Park neoclassical villas, was commissioned to Quinlan Terry in 1987. Work was completed by the mid 1990s.

In analog photography, the image is recorded on a piece of film. As a result, with an analog camera you only have a limited number of photos: you can continue until the roll is full.
Many people find this the charm of the analog camera. It gives you more peace of mind because you have to look carefully, make choices and you can't see the photos right away. The most popular cameras for analogue photography are 35mm cameras: these take a 35mm roll of film. These can still be obtained and developed in most photo shops.

Wax seals were used to ensure the security and secrecy of important documents. Throughout the ages, they were used by governments and royalty, and each had their own characteristic designs to confirm the identity of the sender.

Macro Mondays: Anachronism
Photos aren't loading for me so I'll catch up tomorrow, when hopefully it's fixed.
I think it goes without saying that I wasn't expecting to shoot any Illinois Central SD70s this year. Yet here we are in 2022 with a standard cab leader on an intermodal train. I guess that CN has proved me wrong.
I've always thought that these units were interesting; the standard cab being an anachronism in the SD70 series of locomotives. I think it's neat that this—what just looks like a lengthened SD60—is in the same family as the modern ACe-T4.
und ein paar Anachronismen ...

The Millennium Mills is a derelict turn of 20th century flour mill in London, England. It is described as a "decaying industrial anachronism standing defiant and alone in the surrounding subtopia".
It is an old flour mill built in the early 1900s and 100s of men, women and children must have worked there in its heyday. The name comes from the owners' most successful product, a flour variety which they called "Millennium Flour" after winning the "The Miller Challenge Cup" at the 1899 International Bakers Exhibition.

Macro Mondays: Anachonism (something that is out of place in modern time). Image is cropped to ensure it fits within the 3" size limits.
I seem to have misplaced or possibly thrown out :( all of our cassette tape collection. I texted my husband if he knows where it is and he is certain it is in the garage which is where one stereo that still plays cassette tapes is located. I looked in the garage but couldn't find the box of cassette tapes. While I was out there I decided to take a look in the stereo and I lucked out...one, dusty, old AC/DC tape to the rescue!
Thank you so much for your visit! Happy Macro Monday and have a great week!
Ages ago, as a child in the late 1970s, an uncle had sent me a box of his old JSA comics. One character that always stood out was Wesley Dodds, the Sandman. DC tried to bring the character back in the 1990s, but he was a dated anachronism that never really connected with many.
The Patio de las Muñecas is the main courtyard of the private area in the Mudejar Palace, of which the first floor is preserved. In the seventeenth-century, the upper floor was completed, which was modified by Queen Elizabeth II in the middle of the nineteenth-century to adapt it to a royal residence, a function that continues being fulfilled today.
Several hypotheses support this courtyard name. On the one hand, there are experts who think that the name “Dolls” is given because it was the place where infants were raised, while others believe that it is because of its reduced dimensions. However, the most widespread explanation is that the name comes from some small faces reliefs that are sculpted at the arches base and look like children or “dolls”.
The courtyard is a great little jewel of Mudejar art with plasterwork inspired by the Alhambra of Granada based on atauriques, laceries, arabesques and sebka cloth. Despite the anachronism of its elements, columns supporting the galleries arches from Medina Azahara and the upper floor balustrade or the muqarnas cornice from the nineteenth-century, the set maintains the inspiration and exoticism of the Al-Ándalus buildings.
I love these old wooden spools, now they are made of
plastic or cardboard.

This thin strip of blacktop runs uphill from the local cemetery to the top of an adjacent ridge. It bisects fertile farmland among the way, and opens onto wonderful vistas of the landscape. The road has been here as long as there's been a village, and a cemetery to bury its dead. I think about this history every time I come here. The place is literally steeped in history, but also in the marvel of present day living. It's an anachronism in some ways. Like other old farm roads that have persisted with minimal improvement into the modern era. Unlike most roads I walk, cars seem out of place here, but not me. That's the complete opposite of most highways these days that are decidedly pedestrian hostile. There, cars belong but people do not. My dream would be to some day see this road closed to traffic and left to dreamers like me. Fat chance, but that's what dreams are for.
Anyway this is the aftermath of a summer thunderstorm. More accurately the storm is still in progress. The adrenaline part of me observing the approach and photographing the ominous clouds is over. We're in the me walking home, getting soaked in rain stage. But as the storm races east, the sky begins to break to my west spilling a glow of golden sunset over the landscape. This is why evening thunderstorms are my absolute favorite. The ones that strike in the hour before sunset when low angle sun and storm clouds coexist. At this exact moment, rain is still falling, and thunder is booming, but each clap seems a little more distant than the last. The storm is full of energy, it's just moving away. I can relax a bit. I'm already soaked so there's no point running. I can't be any wetter than I already am. And there's something purifying about being soaked with rain water on a summer day. Or in this case on an idyllic summer evening in July. Walking Cemetery Road.
Twenty-six years ago, there was great concern that the turn of the century to the year 2000 would bring horrific computer problems. Dubbed the "Y2K problem," the issue was that computer programs at the time represented four-digit years with only the final two digits, making the year 2000 indistinguishable from the year 1900.
This computer "bug," some experts predicted, would cause a modern-day apocalypse when the clock struck midnight to end 1999, causing computer systems worldwide to malfunction or shut down. Fortunately, however, computer programmers were able to rectify the issue ahead of time, and worldwide catastrophe was averted.
The fun decorative creation shown here is a remembrance of
that time.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today is a red day at Color My World Daily and the theme at Macro Monday is anachronism. It is a prefect theme to photograph an old fountain pen, I had for several years. I have no idea where did it come from and I’m pretty much sure no one, in my house, used it for writing… It was used once for pocking holes in eggs shells for a school project my older son forgot to tell me about it and then I had to do it for him, when he was sleeping (he was 7 years old at the time and a very forgetful boy). I hope you will like my picture and lets all acknowledge every parent who had to do a very elaborate last minute (usually due for the next morning) school project for his or hers kid, while the kid in question was sleeping.
Mucho, mucho amor for you my friends !! Have a beautiful day !!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !
Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of anachronism. I can still remember with horror old cassettes getting tangled up and losing my music! Having loads of problems with Flickr this morning and can't tag my shot or comment - apologies!

#Anachronism
In the days of keyboards of all kinds – computers, mobile phones, tablets – handwriting has almost become an anachronism: Homo digitalis types. Old-fashioned quills made from feathers, and nibs that you put on a penholder are even more anachronistic. Since I happen to have a small collection of vintage metal nibs, kept from my teenage days when I had started to develop a fascination with pens and writing/drawing tools, I decided to use one of them for our "Anachronism" theme. I thought a feather, even though one that has never been shaped into a quill for writing, might be a nice addition.
The main challenge here was to arrange the feather/quill and the nib nicely together. At first, I put the nib onto the feather's calamus but since the latter was fairly long the feather became invisible in the frame – and simply placing the nib on top of the feather didn't work either because the nib kept sliding down. So I did the following: I put some modeling clay into the nib's hollow backside, stuck a toothpick into it, and used a small clasp as a stand. Next, I gently put the feather on top of the nib; since the feather's structure is pretty dense, it also helped to conceal both the toothpick and the clasp. I illuminated the little scene from above (with my natural light photo lamp) and from the left with a single LED light directed at the small gold-coated cake board reflector (which you've seen in my image for "Paper").
Photographed with the fabulous Laowa Ultra macro lens. Since the Laowa is all-manual, I couldn't use the in-camera focus stacking function. But since I wanted to get a slightly larger focus area on the nib, I did some manual focus stacking of only three images which I've combined in Helicon Focus. Processed in DXO, Lightroom, and Color Efex with only minimal extra adjustments.
HMM, Everyone! I'll catch up with you later!
I had good memories of cassette tapes, when making this macro...
Then suddenly when I removed the rose coloured glasses remembering the Snags, jamming, and Twisted Tape.... We have moved on for sure.....
Hier eine faltbare Lorgnette („Klappbrille“). Die beiden runden Brillengläser lassen sich durch Hintereinanderschieben zusammenlegen und bei Bedarf öffnen.
This is a foldable lorgnette ("folding glasses"). The two round lenses can be folded together by sliding them behind each other and opened when required.
