A view upstream the Pegnitz river. The building on the left is the Heilig-Geist-Spital, built 1339. The Reichskleinodien (Imperial Regalia) were stored there from 1424 to 1796.
The Schuldturm tower in the center was built in 1323 as part of the town fortifications. As the city grew and new fortifications were built further outside the town, the tower found new use as debtors' prison, thus the name Schuldturm (lit. "debt tower").

O Palácio Real de Amesterdão (Koninklijk Paleis te Amsterdam ou Paleis op de Dam, em neerlandês), é um palácio da capital dos Países Baixos, localizado no extremo ocidental da Praça Dam, próximo da igreja Nieuwe Kerk. É um dos quatro palácios oficiais dos Países Baixos à disposição do Rei Guilherme.
Foi erguido entre 1648 e 1665 - durante o Século de Ouro dos Países Baixos, quando Amesterdão se encontrava no auge de seu poder - segundo um projecto do arquitecto e artista Jacob van Campen. O edifício, desenhado em estilo clássico holandês, foi construído para acolher a Stadhuis ("Câmara Municipal"). As esculturas vieram da oficina de Artus Quellijn. Foi inaugurado no dia 20 de Julho de 1655 por líderes da cidade. Os interiores, centrados no poder e prestígio de Amesterdão, foram concluídos mais tarde, principalmente por Rembrandt e Ferdinand Bol.
A partir de 1808, o edifício deixou de ser considerado como sede do município, ganhando o estatuto de palácio real. Desde 1939 é usado pela família real da Casa de Orange-Nassau, não como sua residência , mas com funções de representação e como casa de hóspedes para as visitas de Estado. Devido a obras de recuperação, o palácio esteve fechado ao público entre Setembro de 2005 e o Verão de 2008.
Desde 1856 eleva-se directamente em frente do palácio, no local onde antigamente se erguia a velha câmara municipal gótica, o memorial De Eendracht ("A Harmonia"), executado por Louis Royer, o qual, em 1914, teve que ser removido e instalado mais longe devido às recém colocadas linhas dos eléctricos. Em 1956 foi erguido na praça o Nationalmonument ("Monumento Nacional"). Ambos, formam um Rijksmonument

Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.

A dial test indicator consists of a gauge; on the gauge is a pin level mounted on a spring. When the pin contacts a surface, pressure forces the pin lever up, causing the dial gauge to move. Numbers marked on the perimeter of the dial test indicator display the amount of pressure applied to the pin lever.

A previously unpublished shot captured in September 2020. I love that we still "dial a number" generations after rotary dial telephones were outdated or out of fashion. Enjoy!
The Prague Astronomical Clock is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, on Old Town Square. The clock is located on the south wall of the town hall. The clock is said to have been built by master clockmaker Hanus on 9 October 1410. Legend has it that Hanus had his eyes gouged out to prevent him from reproducing his masterpiece elsewhere. The clock comes to life every hour until 9 p.m.
If you enlarge this photograph you might catch a glimpse of the local superhero doing a quick change in the phonebox. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's Supertelephonist!
These red telephone boxes are very rare now, but you see plenty of rare things in historical Ross in Tasmania's Midlands. Both these boxes a fully operational (and on standby for superheroes or even a wannbe Dr Who). The box on the left is a fascinating way to tell local history. Open the door, go inside and dial up a story. Did you see the operator looking out at us?

Lately I've been playing with my iPhone Kaleidacam App, an endless source of creative fun! These shots, save for the middle image, are all from flowers planted in pots on my front porch. The middle image is from a shot of a meadow/trees and a single white cloud in a blue, blue sky. Happy May Day and Happy Slider's Sunday!
