Main Street Tunnel, Welland, Canada.
My favourite tunnel. It goes under the Welland Canal, which is part of the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes Waterway and runs between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. My husband drove through the tunnel quite a few times so I could get some pictures.
Strelitzia - my favourite flower. I used texture Texture - 346 from Lenabem-Anna J.. Many thanks to Anna Lena for lending this texture.

Dried Weeds Composition - Another view of the grasses and weeds in the San Rafael Valley, near Patagonia, Arizona.
St. Rumbold's Cathedral (Dutch: Sint-Romboutskathedraal) is the Belgian metropolitan archiepiscopal cathedral in Mechelen, dedicated to Saint Rumbold, Christian missionary and martyr. The picture was taken from the border of the canal Machelen-Leuven.
The flat-topped silhouette of the cathedral's tower is easily recognizable and dominates the surroundings. For centuries it held the city documents, served as a watchtower, and could sound the fire alarm. Despite its characteristic incompleteness, this World Heritage monument is 97.28 metres high and its 514 steps are mounted by thousands of tourists every year, following the footsteps of Louis XV, Napoleon, King Albert I, and King Baudouin with queen Fabiola in 1981.
Of the original carillon's set of 49 bells, which are still in working order, each has its own name. Some of the most notable are Salvator, which weighs 8884 kg; Jehsus, which was built in 1460; and the Liberation, which was the newest addition in 1947. Thirty-nine steps above this instrument, there is a second complete carillon on which concerts are played during the summer months. The total weight of both these carillons is over 80 tonnes and there are 98 bells in all.
Many of the region's cities have a nickname for their populace. The Mechlinians are said to have had ancestors running up their great Tower and passing on buckets of water to extinguish a blazing fire behind the perpendicular windows, where it turned out to be mere moonlight through sprightly clouds, hence are called Maneblussers ('Moon Extinguishers').
Have a great and safe 4th of July my friends!
