This is the view of the St. Lawrence Cathedral from our rooftop terrace in the city of Birgu from our vacation in Malta. There was a pigeon keeper who let all these birds out and they circled for close to 40 min. before they came back in.
Today I will start a series of pics of Hamburg. These will be the last ones as a resident, because the company I am working for closed. I have to leave this wonderfull city next week. Enjoy!
The Hamburg Rathaus is the Rathaus—the city hall or town hall—of Hamburg, Germany, it is the seat of the government of Hamburg, located in the Altstadt quarter in the city centre, near the lake Binnenalster and the central station. Constructed from 1886 to 1897, the city hall still houses its original governmental functions with the office of the First Mayor of Hamburg and the meeting rooms for Hamburg's parliament and senate (the city's executive).

The renowned Apollo Theater Sign and theater located on 125th Street in the Harlem section of upper Manhattan began when it opened in 1914 as a burlesque showplace called Hurtig & Seamon’s New Burlesque Theater when Benjamin Hurtig and Harry Seamon obtained a 30 year lease on the newly completed Neo-classic Theater. The architect who designed the theater was George Keister who had designed the stylish theater the Stuyvesant (now the Belasco) for producer David Belasco in 1907. He designed many theaters prior and after that becoming an important force in the expansion of Broadway as a major entertainment venue but alas many no longer stand.
A powerful campaign in 1933 to end burlesque in the city by future NYC mayor Fiorello La Guardia forced Hurtig and Seamons Theater to shut down. The owner of the building Sidney Cohen reopened the theater in 1934 with his partner Morris Sussman serving as manager and rechristening the venue the Apollo Theater. Their strategy was simple, a variety format that would target the growing African-American population in Harlem. The reigns were taken in 1935 by Frank Schiffman and Leo Brecher who would run the Apollo Theater until the late 1970’s. After however, there were dark times for the Apollo, it opened and closed twice, in 1978 & 1979.
Fortune smiled upon the venue as in 1981 Percy Sutton and a group of investors put some capital into the venue, equipping the theater with late 20th century sound systems, lighting and creating a recording studio and television studio. The Apollo received New York City and New York State Landmark status in 1983 and in 1991 the Apollo Theater Foundation came into being as a private not-for-profit organization to run the venue. Since 1934 with interruptions non-withstanding because of closures, producer and actor Ralph Cooper started Amateur Night in Harlem radio show from the Apollo on WMCA radio. Amongst the talented new performers was a 15 year old by the name of Ella Fitzgerald who was one of the first Amateur Night winners. Last year in 2014 Amateur Night at the Apollo celebrated its 80th year. Taken with Olympus TG-850, hand held, tone-mapped in Photmatix and cleaned up in Adobe Lightroom.

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, is the third fastest growing city in Africa with a current population of around four million.
Emergency housing in small metal containers for people whose homes were destroyed in the 2011 earthquake, Van region, Turkey.
There were 5 or 6 of these Container Cities dotted around the area. This was 12 months after the earthquake hit. The lack of adequate provision for those affected was a major social and political issue.

As early as the 11th century, Flemish cloth production had reached such a scale that the supply far exceeded the local demand. As a result, Ghent cloth became an important export article all over Europe. Originally, indigenous wool was used from the many flocks of sheep kept in Artois or on the salt lands and salt marshes of the newly enclosed Flemish polder land. Very soon, however, the raw material gained on the spot was no longer sufficient. From 1100, more and more wool merchants bought their supplies in England. In particular, Lincolnshire wool was of top quality and some of the abbeys had a significant source of revenue thanks to the large flocks of sheep with wool destined exclusively for Flanders. The wool was imported to Bruges and Ghent via the Zwin. The final product, fabricated in Ghent, was fine and durable, but also most valuable. It was sold on all the major West European markets, and even in Nowgorod (a Russian trade centre), in the countries around the Mediterranean Sea, and further in the Near East via Islamic ports. Ghent became the most important textile centre of the known world and, with 65,000 inhabitants, the second city in North Western Europe after Paris.
Throughout its history, Ghent has always been a gateway to the world and has played an active part on the international scene. For example, the people of Ghent will gladly tell the English that King Edward III of England was also proclaimed King of France on the Vrijdagmarkt (Friday Market) during the Hundred Years War. His son, John of Gaunt, founding father of the Lancasters, was born in Ghent. They will tell the Dutch that no less than five Ghent nobles were the authoritative captains of the formidable Watergeuzen fleet during the second half of the 16th century; or that Willem de Key, architect of Leiden Town Hall and the 'Waag' and 'Vleeshalle' in Delft, was also of Ghent origin. They will proudly guide French visitors to the Hotel d'Hane Steenhuyse in Veldstraat, where King Louis XVIII of France sought refuge for a hundred days after the return of Napoleon from Elba. The Americans and the British know that the hostilities between both nations were put to an end by the 'TREATY OF GHENT' which was signed on Christmas Eve in 1814. The World Exhibition of 1913 was intended to put Ghent amongst the modern cities of the 20th century, but the two World Wars dampened this fervour.
Citizens of Ghent have also played important parts outside Europe. Mexico still honours Pedro de Gante (Peter of Ghent) as one of the founding fathers of modern civilisation in Latin America. In about 1700, a large group of immigrants from Ghent contributed to the foundation of Santo Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic. This was also the case for the city of Ghent in the State of Minnesota, USA. Moreover, would you believe it, one of the region's most famous specialities is Ghent Waterzooi !
