View towards west from the observation deck of the new Shanghai Tower, currently the tallest building in Shanghai and the second tallest in the world.
This is the big Huangpu River bend, with the Bund, the mouth of Suzhou Creek and the twin towers of the Shanghai IFC in the lower foreground.
I added some notes to identify buildings or other features in the picture, some of these notes contain links.
And, as usual, flickr wrongly assigns "Hongkou" as location name.

Blue grapes
The scientific name is Muscari, but it is better known as grape hyacinths. It contains over 60 species and originates from the Mediterranean region, Central and Southern Europe, North Africa and Central and Southwest Asia. The blue grape is now also found in Northern Europe and the United States. The name Muscari comes from the Greek, moschos, musk and refers to the fragrance. All varieties flower in the spring, but the Muscari parviflorum blooms in the autumn.

I could hardly contain my excitement to be able to photograph this Merlin in my yard and on my perch! The conditions were less than ideal - poor light, snow and through a window but I am more than thrilled! She was being bothered by magpies in this photo. Taken in my yard in Calgary, Alberta.
Wow I would never have guessed a Merlin! Thank you to Monte and Sunny for the ID correction! Confirmed as female.
A little diversion from Costa Rica.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

St Andrew’s is one of Norfolk’s many round tower churches. The county contains three quarters of those still standing in Britain
The tower - of the usual local flint and mortar construction and thought to be 11th Century Saxon - is an enigma because it is quite separate from the rest of the building.
A clearly visible filled in arch on the tower's east side suggests that a nave was once attached there but the reasons for that church’s subsequent demise are unknown. Was it actually finished? If not why? Was the current church contemporary - Elsewhere in Norfolk two churches are so close that they touch.
*There is also a Great Snoring which is actually the smaller village. ‘Snoring' derives’ from someone named Snear rather than any stentorian prowess of the locals..

Toledo is a city in central Spain, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1986.
Toledo is known as the "Imperial City" because it was the headquarters of the court of Charles V, and as the "City of Three Cultures" because of the cultural influence of Christians, Muslims and Jews in its history. It is known for its long history in the production of edged weapons.
The city sits on top of a mountain, bordered on three sides by the Tagus River, containing many monuments, including the Alcazar and the Gothic Primate Cathedral of Spain.

Toledo to miasto w środkowej Hiszpanii, wpisane na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO w 1986 roku.
Toledo jest znane jako „Cesarskie Miasto”, ponieważ było główną siedzibą dworu Karola V, oraz jako „Miasto Trzech Kultur” ze względu na wpływy kulturowe chrześcijan, muzułmanów i żydów w jego historii. Znane jest z długiej historii w produkcji broni białej.
Miasto znajduje się na szczycie góry, otoczone z trzech stron rzeką Tag zawiera wiele zabytków, w tym Alkazar i gotycką katedrę prymasowską Hiszpanii.
The church contains over 7500 square meters of mosaics, more than any other church in the world. The intricately detailed mosaics depict biblical scenes and figures, with the fine patterned borders setting off each picture. An elaborate shrine was constructed on the exact place of the Tsar Alexander's death, garnished with topaz, lazurite and other semi-precious stones.
The interior was designed by some of the most celebrated Russian artists of the day, including Victor Vasnetsov, Mikhail Nesterov and Mikhail Vrubel.
The name Piz Gloria originated in Ian Fleming's James Bond novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1963), wherein the hideout of the villain, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, is a mountain-top building containing an allergies investigation clinic.
The Somerset Cistercian abbey of Cleeve is a haven of peace and tranquillity, said to contain the finest cloister buildings in England.
....and the Journey go´s on.
Even if the picture seems a bit dark,
it contains the message of a continuing journey,
which, in my opinion, is a positive statement.
The picture was taken in bright sunshine :-)

The village of Kirkjubøur contains several significant historic sites, including the ruins of the Magnus Cathedral, which dates from around 1300; Saint Olav's Church, from the 12th century; and one of the world's oldest inhabited wooden houses, the Roykstovan farmhouse, which dates to the 11th century and has been occupied by descendants of the same family since 1550. The oldest inhabited house in Europe, it also now serves as a museum,
Mantodea (or mantises, mantes) is an order of insects that contains over 2,400 species and about 430 genera in 15 families worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. Most of the species are in the family Mantidae.
The English common name for the order is the mantises, or rarely (using a Latinized plural of Greek mantis), the mantes. The name mantid refers only to members of the family Mantidae, which was, historically, the only family in the Order, but with 14 additional families recognized in recent decades, this term can be confusing. The other common name, often applied to any species in the order, is "praying mantis", because of the typical "prayer-like" posture with folded fore-limbs, although the eggcorn "preying mantis" is sometimes used in reference to their predatory habits. In Europe and other regions, however, the name "praying mantis" refers to only a single species, Mantis religiosa. The closest relatives of mantises are the termites and cockroaches (order Blattodea). They are sometimes confused with phasmids (stick/leaf insects) and other elongated insects such as grasshoppers and crickets, or other insects with raptorial forelegs such as mantisflies.

Nelumbo nucifera, also known as sacred lotus, Laxmi lotus, Indian lotus, or simply lotus, is one of two extant species of aquatic plant in the family Nelumbonaceae. It is sometimes colloquially called a water lily, though this more often refers to members of the family Nymphaeaceae.
Lotus plants are adapted to grow in the flood plains of slow-moving rivers and delta areas. Stands of lotus drop hundreds of thousands of seeds every year to the bottom of the pond. During flood conditions, sediments containing these seeds are broken open, and the dormant seeds rehydrate and begin a new lotus colony.
It has a very wide native distribution. It has a very long history (c. 3,000 years) of being cultivated for its edible seeds, and it is commonly cultivated in water gardens. It is the national flower of India and Vietnam. - Wikipedia
Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 430 genera in 15 families. The largest family is the Mantidae ("mantids"). Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantodea have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis.
The closest relatives of mantises are the termites and cockroaches (Blattodea), which are all within the superorder Dictyoptera. Mantises are sometimes confused with stick insects (Phasmatodea), other elongated insects such as grasshoppers (Orthoptera), or other insects with raptorial forelegs such as mantisflies (Mantispidae). Mantises are mostly ambush predators, but a few ground-dwelling species are found actively pursuing their prey. They normally live for about a year. In cooler climates, the adults lay eggs in autumn, then die. The eggs are protected by their hard capsules and hatch in the spring. Females sometimes practice sexual cannibalism, eating their mates after copulation.
Mantises were considered to have supernatural powers by early civilizations, including Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, and Assyria. A cultural trope popular in cartoons imagines the female mantis as a femme fatale. Mantises are among the insects most commonly kept as pets.

At the end of the boulevard to the west and where the end of Ondaretta beach is, one comes to a point where three pieces of steel cling to the rocks. This work of art is called "El Peine del Viento" (the Comb of the Wind) and was created by the Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida. Eduardo Chillida anchored the three sculptures to the rocks so that the incoming wind would be continually "combed" at La Concha Bay.
The artwork was placed in the bay in 1977 in collaboration with the (environmental) architect Luis Peña Ganchegui. The artwork consists of granite terraces with three Corten steel sculptures on top. Each of the three steel sculptures weighs around 10 tons.
These sculptures have been positioned in the place where the city ends and the sea begins, where the waves embrace the stark escarpments of Monte Igeldo. This is a place where the wind and the sea beat together, whipping the rocks with a sense of abandonment. Nature and art blend together and appear as one, and the positioning of the sculpture pieces makes them appear to emerge from the rocks themselves, almost as if they were a part of them.
Because the artwork contains air holes, the sculpture can produce a special sound during stormy days because of the brutal waves in combination with the image of splashing water.

They are flowering shrubs in the genus Rhododendron, particularly the former sections Tsutsuji (evergreen) and Pentanthera (deciduous). Azaleas bloom in the spring (May and June in the temperate Northern Hemisphere), their flowers often lasting several weeks. Shade tolerant, they prefer living near or under trees.Azaleas are generally slow-growing and do best in well-drained acidic soil (4.5–6.0 pH). Fertilizer needs are low. Some species need regular pruning. Azaleas are native to several continents including Asia, Europe and North America. They are planted abundantly as ornamentals in the southeastern US, southern Asia, and parts of southwest Europe. In addition to being renowned for its beauty, the azalea is also highly toxic—it contains andromedotoxins in both its leaves and nectar, including honey from the nectar. 24786

The American bushtit inhabits mixed open woodlands, often containing oaks and a scrubby chaparral understory ; it also inhabits parks and gardens. It is a year-round resident of the western United States and highland parts of Mexico, ranging from Vancouver through the Great Basin and the lowlands and foothills of California to southern Mexico and Guatemala.
The American bushtit is one of the smallest passerines in North America, at 11 cm (4.3 in) in length and 5–6 g (0.18–0.21 oz) in weight. It is gray-brown overall, with a large head, a short neck, a long tail, and a short stubby bill. The male has dark eyes and the adult female, yellow. Coastal forms have a brown "cap" while those in the interior have brown "mask."
The American bushtit is active and gregarious, foraging for small insects and spiders in mixed-species feeding flocks containing species such as chickadees and warblers, of 10 to over 40 individuals. Members of the group constantly make contact calls to each other that can be described

MALACHI: *To himself.* “Mirror, mirror that is the wall. Who is the handsomest bear of all. Of course it’s obvious that I am the handsomest bear of all. How co…”
DADDY: “Malachi! What on earth are you doing with those shards of mirror?”
MALACHI: “Well, I should have thought that was obvious, Daddy!” *Shakes head.* “I’m admiring my reflection.” *Preens.*
DADDY: “Indeed, they create a multitude of Malachis.”
MALACHI: “Well, one Malachi is hardly enough, Daddy.”
DADDY: *Quietly.* “That is debatable.”
MALACHI: “What was that, Daddy? Do stop mumbling and annunciate your words.”
DADDY: “I was just saying I was going to throw those shards of mirror into the dustbin, Malachi.”
MALACHI: “Oh no! Don’t do that, Daddy!”
DADDY: “Why ever not Malachi?”
MALACHI: “Well, I quite like being a multitude.” *Turns back to his reflection and says to himself.* “Mirror, mirror that is the wall. Who is the handsomest bear of all. Of course it’s obvious that I am the handsomest bear of all. How could anyone think otherwise?”
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" on the 18th of February is "a look in the mirror", a challenge in which a photo must contain a reflection in a real mirror.
A little over a month ago, I was using my full length piece of mirror for some photography in the garden, when a gust of wind blew it over and it shattered against the hardwood planks of my terrace. Oh what a noise it made! So, I cleaned up all the thousands of broken pieces and Hoovered up the millions of tiny slivers and shards, but I was left with a few large pieces that thanks to the backing in the mirror, did not break. I’m British, and being so, I have an inherent wish to save things that “might come in handy one day”, so I kept the four largest pieces of mirror and put them away. It seems that three of the four pieces came in very handy for Malachi to admire himself and create a multitude of Malachis… which may or may not be a good thing. I hope that you like my choice of image for the theme, and that it makes you smile!
If you follow my photostream, you may know that I collect 1:12 size miniatures, some of which have featured in past themes in the "Looking Close on Friday" and "Smile on Saturday" groups. This includes Malachi the bear. Malachi I acquired in mid-March 2020 (and mid Coronavirus) from a wonderful Melbourne stalwart toy shop: Dafel Dolls and Bears, when I went looking for a present for one of my goddaughters. Malachi is designed by Mary and hand-made by Wendy Joy in Australia. He has articulated arms and legs, and an extremely sweet face. Malachi was the name he came with, written by hand on his little tag.
