Westminster Bridge was swarming with people, perhaps because of the Rugby World Cup being played here. It was good to find a place a little less congested off of the bridge to enjoy the sunset.

Macaranga grandifolia is a species of plant in the Euphorbiaceae family. Common names for this plant include Nasturtium Tree, Parasol Leaf Tree and Bingabing. It is endemic to the Philippines and has been widely cultivated in Hawaii as a tropical ornamental. This plant has become very popular garden ornamental in many parts of the tropics for the extraordinary grandiose leaves, which are rounded-ovate in shape, with prominent, reddish veins and the stem attached towards the center of the leaf blade.
The flowers are pinkish red and the males are held in coral-like, congested inflorescences. The leaf ash was eaten as a cure for enlarged bellies. Twine made from the bark and the wood was used for fishing spears. The leaves were used to wrap food. Birds eat the ripe fruit.

As I have mentioned before, India has a wealth of great farm land. Many visitors tackle the busy and congested cities when we visit, missing the calm and the beauty of the rural life. I'm glad I did a road trip through Rasjasthan.

Kincardine Bridge was constructed between 1932 and 1936, to a design by Sir Alexander Gibb & Partners, Consulting Engineers, and Architect, Donald Watson. It was the first road crossing of the River Forth downstream of Stirling, completed nearly thirty years before the Forth Road Bridge, which stands fifteen miles (24 km) to the south-east.
The bridge was constructed with a swinging central section which remained in use until 1988, that would allow larger ships to sail upstream to the small port at Alloa.
The bridge is part of the A985 road and carries a single lane in each direction. Until the opening of the Clackmannanshire Bridge in 2008, it was the customary diversion route for traffic north from Edinburgh and eastern Scotland when the Forth Road Bridge was closed or under repair. As a result of the additional traffic using the bridge at these times, joining the high volume of regular commuter traffic, the town of Kincardine was frequently congested.
Arundel civil parish occupies an area somewhat larger than its built-up clusters, with the old town towards the north and the new to the south, separated by a main road.
The River Arun at Arundel.
Arundel town is a major bridging point over the River Arun as it was the lowest road bridge until the opening of the Littlehampton swing bridge in 1908. Arundel Castle was built by the Normans to protect that vulnerable fairly wooded plain to the north of the valley through the South Downs. The town later grew up on the slope below the castle to the south. The river was previously called the Tarrant and was renamed after the town by antiquarians in a back-formation.
Arundel includes meadows to the south but is clustered north of the A27 road, which narrowly avoids the town centre by a short and congested single carriageway bypass. Plans for a more extensive, HQDC bypass were debated intensely between 1980 and 2010 and a junction was built for it at Crossbush. In Spring 2018, Highways England published their preferred route for the new bypass. During 2018-19 there is a further period of consultation when views on a more detailed design for the four-mile dual carriageway will be sought.
Arundel railway station is on the Arun Valley Line. The Monarch's Way long-distance footpath passes through the town and crosses the river here, while just under five miles north and north-west of the town the route of the South Downs Way runs.
The town itself lies outside the boundaries of the South Downs National Park.

We are about to see an influx of tiny Saw-whet Owls (Aegolius acadicus) here in western New York. They are beginning their migrations from the south and traveling by night, feasting on unsuspecting mice, whenever possible. Where are they going?--to their Canadian nesting grounds. That isn't to say that ALL saw-whets will leave our area; a few are year-round residents. But the the migration is set to begin, and the owl airways about to get congested!
The Port of San Francisco was once the largest and most congested port on the entire West Coast. It featured numerous piers perpendicular to the coast where cargo was unloaded manually or by cranes and transported to nearby warehouses. The port received and shipped cargoes to trans-Pacific and Atlantic destinations, and was the center of the West Coast Timber Trade. The West Coast Port Strike of 1934, a major episode in America's labor movement, brought the port to a standstill.
Many docks remained abandoned until the demolition of the Embarcadero Freeway reopened the dock area in the center of the city, thus allowing its development to resume. The centerpiece of the port, the Ferry Building, which still hosts worker-hauling ferries, has been restructured and rebuilt as a gourmet produce market.
El Puerto de San Francisco fue antaño el puerto más grande y congestionado de toda la costa oeste. Presentaba numerosos muelles perpendiculares a la costa donde la carga era descargada manualmente o mediante grúas y transportada a los almacenes cercanos. El puerto recibía y mandaba cargas a destinos transpacíficos y atlánticos, y era el centro del Comercio de madera en la costa oeste. La Huelga portuaria de la costa oeste de 1934, un importante episodio en el movimiento laboral de Estados Unidos, llevó al puerto a un estancamiento.
Muchos muelles permanecieron abandonados hasta que la demolición del Embarcadero Freeway reabrió la zona de muelles en el centro de la ciudad, y permitiendo así retomar su desarrollo. La pieza central del puerto, el edificio Ferry, el cual todavía recibe ferrys de transporte de trabajadores, ha sido reestructurado y reconstruido como un mercado de productos gourmet.

~These close up macro shots are a little painful right now. Sinuses are congested. But I just have to do it anyways! No pain no gain?~ Must macro. * Thank you all for all your lovely comments on my photos. It is very insperational for me*.
It's funny how I spend days organizing all of these images with an idea of what to do with each image that I've cut out and then I get totally stumped on what I want to do with them once they're ALL cut out! Then I just go rogue and do something totally different than my original idea. Shrugs*
P.S. I have allergies, please excuse my congested voice. Kitty also has terrible allergies, not fleas!
Bangkok is one of the world’s most congested cities, with severe traffic problems that can make it a challenge to get around the city during peak rush hours. Whether you’re visiting Bangkok or planning to stay long term, understanding the traffic is key to getting around quickly.

On my annual trips to the Eastern Sierra Nevada I try to find time to visit Yosemite NP, but not the valley where it is too congested with tourists. My destination is above the chaos in the high country off Tioga Road, specifically Tuolumne Meadows where I can walk for hours without encountering another person. The tops of granite domes poke through the sod and command the view all around. The river with the same name meanders through adding its peaceful murmur to calm my soul.
Promenade du Paillon, Nice
It was a perfect time to practice reflection shots when the water is flat.
Nice's flagship urban park covers 12 hectares in the heart of the city, just a few minutes walk from Promenade des Anglais. Promenade du Paillon used to be a very congested and rather ugly thoroughfare where the old bus station and multi storey car park were situated. It was demolished in 2011 and a 3 year development project took place to turn it into the oasis of green open space, safe play areas and impressive water features that we enjoy today.

This morning's hike was just a little one on the Provo River Trail. This is Bridalveil Falls. If your doing the trail by bike or running this point is usually very congested. Best to go early in the morning.
Established in 1888, it connects St Mawes and the Roseland Peninsula with Feock, Truro and Falmouth by avoiding the alternative 27 mile route through Truro & Tresillian. The King Harry Ferry offers its passengers the chance to avoid miles of congested roads and once aboard you can get out and enjoy the slow river crossing which takes in one of Cornwall’s deepest and most beautiful rivers – the Fal River.
The iconic ferry with its glass side, chain viewing windows and touch screen information display is combining state of the art technology with a traditional friendly service. www.falriver.co.uk/ferries/king-harry-ferry
This is Rt 400. It is a 12 lane highway that STILL gets jammed and congested in rush hour!
Ok, i am at what i would call the culling point-still Southern Ontario, but this is about where the population density thins as i travel north of Toronto
This is definitely my last computer visit of the day. And tommorrow, i probably won't have time to upload-i'll be catching a meeting, and field service. Afterwards, usually the friends will have a meal or maybe a gathering

This shot is going to look very dull as a thumbnail it rather lacks contrast. Even seen large it’s not exactly colourful the animals being the same murky colour as the water. However it is the largest group of hippos I have ever seen in one place. It was quite amusing to watch, if one hippo decided to move everyone else had to change position. This caused a great deal of noisy displeasure.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY

A view overlooking the entrance to 'Trawbreaga Bay' leading to 'Five Fingers Strand’. In the backdrop you can see the ‘Isle of Doagh’ & the 'Urris Hills'. To the right is ‘Glashedy Island’. It is amazing to stand up here & be able to view all these areas clearly, that are so many miles away in the distance. One of Donegal’s finest views for sure
Each summer many folk travel abroad to highly congested tourist traps in search of pacific coloured waters & white sandy beaches. If they only realised what is already here in Ireland along our Wild Atlantic Way, then they may think twice before spending thousands of pounds when they could visit areas such as here for free & have it all to themselves. I know I wont be on any planes this summer as once again I’m honoured to stay right here in Ireland & soak up its natural beauty whilst capturing more photos to share with you all 💚
Hope you enjoy! Please favourite & add me as a contact to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you

Sometimes plans do not go as initially designed, and in this case during one early spring morning I had hoped to arrive just before sunrise on the Eastern end of the Hudson River overlooking New York’s skyline. One never knows just how the sunrise effect will be on any given day, and the thought was that it would be a beautiful scene for this particular outing, since the wee hour sky appeared crisp and the air would lend itself to a glorious multi-colored backdrop to the skyline. Leaving the house extra early in anticipation of making great time, suddenly the traffic on the roads became so congested, apparently due to unexpected construction and a fender bender. Well, ultimately, that was fine, for the view I saw while driving eastward toward the NJ side of the Hudson was uneventful—nothing extraordinary with the rising sun and its role in painting the sky as art work.
However, although arriving well after the sun had made its full presence, the backdrop tones were quite decent, in spite of the normal morning film/haze. The sun casting light from a slightly higher elevation and supportive angle created an interesting look on the building faces.
I began to take some photos from the raised cliff area of Weehawken, then before too late, hopped back in the car and rushed over to the river front stretch of parks in Hoboken, the home of Frank Sinatra. The photos taken from Hoboken were at river level, and the proximity to downtown is much closer from that section than it is from Weehawken. As to which is preferable, each presents its appeal in a different way.
Like a few of the buildings along the Ganges, this mosque was abandoned, but speaks to the religious strife found in India's history. It was a lovely old building that was next to the haveli where I stayed and looked lovely in the early morning haze.
The old home/rest home where I stayed had recently been converted to a charming hotel overlooking the Ganges. It is called Suryauday Haveli and is at the end of the gnats in a more peaceful, less congested area.

B unit in the lead… During the Burlington Northern era, it was quite common when the Galesburg Yard became congested for the railroad to leave an inbound train sitting outside of town on the main until a running track became free for the train. Sometimes the inbound power was brought into town light for servicing at the engine facility. In those instances either a yard trimmer job or a hump set would go out to retrieve the train. Here we see a trimmer job bringing a train past the depot on its way to the yard. In the lead is BN’s only SW1000B coupled with a standard SW1000. #442 had been built as a standard SW1000 in 1970 but after a wreck in 1987 it was converted to a B unit and served for years in Galesburg.
So much for the Indian summer.......70807 skirts alongside the M5 near Cullumpton with the 1138 Moorswater to Aberthaw Cement service.
With our Motorways becoming more and more congested isn't it time to transfer as much freight as possible onto the rail network. How many lorries would be the equivalent of this freight flow ?
As a young man I spent some time riding behind Class 50s. It was great fun. The stretch of track that ran parallel to the M5 was a superb place for the West bound 50s to get up to full speed frequently topping 100mph. 108mph was the fastest recorded behind a newly refurbished and ex works 50019.
Happy days....
This is probably the most visited falls in the park as the fairly short trail that leads to it is in the most congested area, with a visitor center among other things. It's taller than it appears in the photo at 90 feet (29 meters). It's a Pano combining three photos.
Bristol's name is derived from the Saxon 'Brigstowe' or 'place of the bridge', but it is unclear when the first bridge over the Avon was built. The Avon has a high tidal range, so the river could have been forded twice a day. The name may therefore refer to the many smaller bridges over the lesser known River Frome, in the marshy surrounding area, which is now largely built over. The first stone bridge was built in the 13th century, and houses with shopfronts were built on it to pay for its maintenance. A chapel with gate crossed the roadway in the centre. [Adam's Chronicles of Bristol]
A seventeenth century illustration shows that these bridge houses were five stories high, including the attic rooms, and that they overhung the river much as Tudor houses would overhang the street.[1] At the time of the Civil War the bridge was noted for its community of goldsmiths. Houses on the bridge were attractive and charged high rents as they had so much passing traffic, and had plenty of fresh air and waste could be dropped into the river.[1] Its population was also perceived to be strongly parliamentarian.[1]
In the 1760 a bill to replace the bridge was carried through parliament by the Bristol MP Sir Jarrit Smyth.[2] By the early 18th century, increase in traffic and the encroachment of shops on the roadway made the bridge fatally dangerous for many pedestrians, but despite a campaign by Felix Farley in his Journal, no action was taken until a shopkeeper on the bridge employed James Bridges to provide designs. The commission accepted the design of James Bridges after many long drawn out disputes which are still unclear. Bridges fled to the West Indies in 1763 leaving Thomas Paty to complete it between 1763 and 1768. Resentment at the tolls exacted to cross the new bridge occasioned the Bristol Bridge Riot of 1793. The toll houses were turned into shops before they were removed. In the 19th century, the roadway was again congested, so walkways were added on either side, the supporting columns disguising the classical Georgian design. The current metal railings date from the 1960s.
Before the Second World War, Bristol Bridge was an important transport hub. It was the terminus of tram routes to Knowle, Bedminster and Ashton Gate, and other trams also stopped here.[3] It lost importance when Temple Way was built further upstream in the 1930s,[4] and when the tram system closed in 1941.
It was Earth Day. Free admission to Yosemite, and it was packed ..... traffic was so congested. We decided to leave the park and stopped at Valley View on our way out that afternoon. And we were rewarded with this sight: a beautiful rainbow on Bridal Veil Falls! It could not have been better. Finally, the rainbow disappeared but our hearts were filled with the amazing sight we had captured.
La Beurstraverse (également connue sous le nom de Koopgoot ) est une rue commerçante de la ville néerlandaise de Rotterdam . La rue se trouve en dessous du niveau de la rue Coolsingel . Au-dessus de la Beurstraverse se trouve la Bourse du World Trade Center Rotterdam . À l'origine, la traverse faisait exclusivement partie de la sortie de la station de métro Beurs et était également destinée à permettre aux piétons de traverser le Coolsingel très fréquenté. Dans la pratique, cela s'est avéré différent ; les jours de grande affluence commerciale, la circulation automobile sur le Coolsingel s'arrêtait pour permettre aux piétons de traverser. Entre 1991 et 1996 , la traverse, ainsi que la Beursplein , ont été traitées et rendues plus attrayantes. Depuis lors, la congestion du trafic automobile a été considérablement réduite. Le passage avec ses nombreux magasins a rapidement été surnommé « Koopgoot » (le caniveau du shopping) par la plupart des habitants de Rotterdam.
La Beurstraverse fait partie du Beursplein Rotterdam , le cœur commercial du centre-ville de Rotterdam . Conçue par l'architecte Pi de Bruijn, la Beurstraverse comprend également la Beursgallery, le Mall, Rode Zand et une partie de la Hoogstraat .
The Beurstraverse (also known as Koopgoot) is a shopping street in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. The street lies below the level of the Coolsingel. Above the Beurstraverse is the stock exchange of the World Trade Center Rotterdam. Originally, the crossing was exclusively part of the exit of the Beurs metro station and was also intended to allow pedestrians to cross the busy Coolsingel. In practice, this turned out to be different; on busy shopping days, car traffic on the Coolsingel stopped to allow pedestrians to cross. Between 1991 and 1996, the crossing, along with the Beursplein, was redesigned and made more attractive. Since then, traffic congestion has been significantly reduced. The passageway with its many shops soon became known as "Koopgoot" (the shopping gutter) by most Rotterdam residents. The Beurstraverse is part of the Beursplein Rotterdam, the commercial heart of Rotterdam's city centre. Designed by architect Pi de Bruijn, the Beurstraverse also includes the Beursgallery, the Mall, Rode Zand and part of the Hoogstraat.

What more could one say about Silverstrand Beach, other than it’s simply one of the most stunning beaches you could ever lay your eyes on! A horse-shoe beach/cove with the most amazing scenery all round it for miles as far as the eye can see. Ideally placed on the very western point of Donegal far away from the everyday bustling of congested towns etc.
To just look out onto the vast Atlantic Ocean from here & think that the next stop is Canada! It’s a very surreal feeling for sure. Silver Strand is pretty much a little bit of heaven tucked away safe & sound here in wilds of Donegal

Just got back from ACADIA - Bar Harbor, Maine from a mini vacation.
This past weekend, I literally lived in these colors. I have a LOT more to upload but here's a mini-gulp on how it was; which is straight outta camera raw btw. I'm still trying to come-up with something to do with this in PS but I think I should leave it alone...;)
Picturesque UNESCO World Heritage site, most usually congested by high inflow of tourists sadly, so limiting the number of tourists allowed into Hallstat should be recommended.
What used to be one of my favorite trails, has gotten too congested for Pep and I. It was a perfect get away not too far from us and for an everyday play.
With the weather warming up, more folks are breaking free from their cabin fever (which is great). Pep and I like the peaceful of nature instead.
The photo shows the famous scramble intersection in Shibuya, which allows pedestrians to cross simultaneously in any direction. Shibuya is one of the busiest sub-centers of Tokyo and this congested intersection is located just outside, above and below Shibuya stations where many railways and subways converge.
I’ve been seeking out T junctions, with buses that turn right. They always have to stop, and then we can take a selection of angles while they turn. This tends to ensure the screen behaves, but this quiet looking scene belies what it was really like.
There were temporary traffic lights just to the left here, out of shot, and the whole area was a little congested. I managed to squeeze in between a couple of commercial vans to capture this and with the bus having right-of-way there would be nothing to obscure my view.

Yesterday I visited the stunning ‘Five Fingers Strand’ & the sand dunes of Lagg. I have said it so many times before, but I need to say it once again… I was there for near 2 hrs with not a single soul in sight. I walked the length of this strand, carefully walked over these dunes & generally explored all the smooth colourful pebbles that are found in abundance along this shore. A warm gentle wind blowing through the icy air, whilst patches of bright light broke through the dense clouds every so often creating so many tones & shadows which reflected off the Atlantics surface. There’s nowhere else on earth id rather be 🌍
Five Fingers Strand takes its unusual name from the five long black sea-stacks that can be seen on the north end of this rocky shore. The surrounding sand dunes are some of the highest in all of Europe. These dunes were formed around 5000 years ago and now have their own protected & unique ecosystem. They are now threatened by rising sea levels & are eroding away very fast into the sea.
Each year many folk travel abroad to highly congested tourist traps in search of tropical waters & white sandy beaches. If they only realised what is already here in Ireland along our shores, then they may think twice before spending a small fortune when they easily visit areas like here for free & also have the entire beach to themselves.
Ok I admit we don’t exactly have the foreign heat & most times we get 4 seasons in one day! 😂 but it’s our variable weather which carves & shapes our stunning landscape & shorelines. Whilst wearing shorts or raincoats we must still be thankful for what we have around us 🙏

“Where Earth & Ocean Waves Meet”
Silver Strand Horseshoe Beach, Malin Beg, Glencolmcille, County Donegal, Ireland
What more could one say about the 'Silver Strand Beach' other than it’s simply one of the most stunning beaches you could ever lay eyes on 😍 Certainly Ireland’s finest example of a horseshoe beach/cove, complete with the most amazing scenery surrounding it. Ideally placed on the very western point of rural Donegal, far away from the everyday bustling of congested towns & motorway jams etc.
Standing at ground level you are still extremely high above this cove which was carved deep into the surrounding bedrock over millions of years of wave erosion. This steep path has 174 steps leading down to this dreamy beach. For this particular photo I decided to stand high on the steps above this cove to show a view of the entire beach & it’s detailed surrounding geology.
My mind wanders as always on this scene 😂 I love the patterns across the soil here. Especially how the grass seems to ripple, almost mimicking the oceans waves below. These "grassy waves" gently roll down these slopes to finally meet on this sandy shore which separates them.
It’s a very surreal feeling to just gaze out onto the vast ‘Atlantic Ocean’ from here & think that the next stop is Canada! Silver Strand is pretty much a little bit of heaven tucked away safe & sound here in the “Wilds of Donegal”

A image of part of the magnificent Norman West Front of Lincoln Cathedral sadly I could not get the whole of it as the lower part was undergoing restoration.
A little geography Hull is situated about half way between Lincoln and York except to get to Lincoln you have to cross the Humber . Before the Humber Bridge was opened in 1981 the trip to Lincoln involved a long drive around the Humber or crossing by ferry . Consequently I did not actually visit Lincoln till the mid 1980s . Whereas as a child one was taken to York regularly by family or schools . Visiting York while being pleasurable is as a result a matter of routine whereas going to Lincoln still feels like one is making a journey . Many foreign visitors to the UK go to York often on their way to Scotland Lincoln gets far fewer tourists . Its a pity it got more historical buildings than York and is far less congested . It was a pleasure to spend a few hours there again just before the end of last year
The Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Lincoln. Construction commenced in 1072 and continued in several phases throughout the High Middle Ages. Like many of the medieval cathedrals of England it was built in the Gothic style.
It was the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1548), and the first building to hold that title after the Great Pyramid of Giza. For hundreds of years the cathedral held one of the four remaining copies of the original Magna Carta, now securely displayed in Lincoln Castle. The cathedral is the fourth largest in the UK (in floor area) at around 5,000 square metres] It is highly regarded by architectural scholars; the Victorian writer John Ruskin declared: "I have always held ... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have.”
I shall post a shot of the interior as my next post

Here where the Tuolumne River bends in a meadow with the same name, a placid pool forms a mirror to reflect Lembert Dome in the background.
Those who visit the famous Yosemite Valley miss one of the less congested and equally beautiful parts of the park if they don't drive into the highlands on Tioga Road.
A monk on the dash as I hurtle around in a car has become a personal superstition. For me personally (not speaking for others) a symbol of equilibrium, of mindfulness and compassion: qualities that lesson road rage on congested streets. After 20 and more years in this wonderful country (Thailand) I will not now drive without one.
During the 1880s and 1890s many homes were being constructed uptown along Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue in NYC.As the city became more and more congested,many middle class families made the move northward to live in homes such as this one at 1321 Madison Avenue.Starting in 1890,this and four other row houses were built on this block by architect James E. Ware.This one and the small one to the left of it are the only two survivors,however.The other three were torn down to make room for retail establishments.The prewar structure was built in 1903 in the fashionable Queen Anne style of the time.The entrance to the building is on the side where the stoop (slang,for steps that lead up to a platform or landing) is,as you can see in the shot.The stoop gave direct entrance into the living room or parlor of a row house like this one,whereas the kitchen was in the basement where foodstuff also would be delivered.
