■ Datail of the Entrance to the Cathedral of Teruel (Teruel City, Aragon, Spain). You can see it much better by clicking here.
The Cathedral of Teruel is a notable example of Mudéjar architecture. It is listed in the UNESCO Heritage site Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon since 1986. The cathedral traces its origins to the foundation of the town by Alfonso II of Aragon, who in 1171 ordered the construction of a church entitled to St. Mary de Mediavilla, in Romanesque style. In the late 13th century it was restructured, rising the nave and the two aisles and giving them a Mudéjar appearance. The Mudéjar bell tower was finished in 1257. The Romanesque apses where replaced by Gothic-Mudéjar ones in the 14th century.

■ Detalle de la entrada a la Catedral de Teruel (Teruel capital, Aragon).
La Catedral de Teruel es un notable ejemplo de arquitectura Mudéjar cuyos origenes se remontan a la fundacion de la ciudad por parte del rey Alfonso II de Aragon, que ordeno en 1171 la construccion de una catedral de estilo romanico dedicada a Santa Maria de Mediavilla. A finales del siglo XIII fue reestructurada, elevando la nave y los dos laterales y dandole un aspecto Mudéjar. La torre del campanario Mudéjar fue finalizada en 1257. Los apsides romanicos fueron sustituidos por otros de estilo Gótico-Mudéjar en el siglo XIV.

The winds were gusting up to 40mph whilst hiking toward Monument Rock, so took the M4 with the wide angle Tri-Elmar, one of my favorite lenses. Using Arista Ultra, the bright day really provided some interesting shadows particularly using Rodinal semistand. The WATE has a wonderful rendition and nice sharpness, and the tonality was quite pleasant. Although I didn't drop the equipment, I caught it twice when the wind literally blew me off my feet. Thanks to the flickeranians who continue to inspire!

Trying your patience on hedging issues? I'll move on as my garden starts blooming. honest!
So this shows a cherry, pine and laurel hedge all fighting for the same light. The laurel has lost on the interior, where homeowners see it. The pine is providing no privacy at the lower level, and shading the home, also blocking light (pine is generally to the south of the house, so hedge is generally at the home's west side. I would clear all the shrubs/trees to start over, though it would be bright/hot on summer days.There would be a view over the valley and light in the wintertime.

An example of a white cast iron, so named due to its relatively low carbon content, which means that the carbon present is in the form of cementite. Upon cooling the melt initially forms austenite dendrites and ledeburite. The dendrites then transform to pearlite, and the ledeburite to ferrite and cementite.

The mine produced lead, zinc and silver. This is an adit, a horizontal entrance to the mine. It is used as an example as to what it is like below ground. Very damp, with water dripping from the roof, so it's no wonder that keeping the mine free of water was very important. The short visit here was quite fascinating.

Roppongi Hills is one of the best examples of a city within the city. Opened in 2003 in the heart of Tokyo's Roppongi district, the building complex features offices, apartments, shops, restaurants, a hotel, art museum, observation deck and more. The office floors are home to leading companies from the IT and financial sectors, and Roppongi Hills has become a symbol of the Japanese IT industry.
At the center of Roppongi Hills stands the 238 meter Mori Tower, one of the tallest buildings in the city. While most of the building is occupied by office space, the first few floors have restaurants and shops and the top few floors house an observation deck and modern art museum that are open to the public.

Stanway is an outstandingly beautiful example of a Jacobean manor house, owned by Tewkesbury Abbey for 800 years then for 500 years by the Tracy family and their descendants, the Earls of Wemyss. Stanway House is currently the home of Lord and Lady Neidpath. The Tracys, very unusually, claimed descent from Charlemagne, and were almost unique in England for having owned land (at nearby Toddington) since before the Norman Conquest. Their resulting self-confidence probably contributed to the sureness of their touch at Stanway: the house (in the opinion of Fodor’s Great Britain 1998 Guidebook "As perfect and pretty a Cotswold Manor House as anyone is likely to see"), its fascinating furniture, the jewel-like Gatehouse, the church and 14th-century Tithe Barn, the 18th-century water-garden (one of the finest in England), the specimen trees and avenues, the surrounding villages, farms, parkland and woodland – all subtly and harmoniously combine to create an enclave of very English and almost magical harmony.
Thanks to its location, at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment, Stanway has been protected from many changes of the 20th century, but the last decade has seen the gradual restoration to its former glory of the 18th century watergarden, probably designed by the greatest of British landscape gardeners, Charles Bridgeman. The formal Canal, on a terrace above the house, the Cascade (the longest in England), the striking Pyramid and eight ponds have been reinstated, and a single-jet fountain, at 300 feet the highest fountain in Britain and the highest gravity fountain in the world, has been added.
The glory of the Stanway watergarden is the single-jet fountain in the Canal, opened on 5th June 2004. Originally suggested by Paul Edwards, the landscape architect, and engineered by David Bracey of The Fountain Workshop Limited, the fountain rises
magnificently to over 300 feet, making it the tallest fountain in Britain (seconded by Witley Court at 121 feet), the tallest gravity fountain in the world (seconded by the Fountain of Fame at La Granja de San Ildefonso, Segovia, Spain at 154 feet), and the second tallest fountain in Europe, after the 400-foot-high turbine-driven fountain in Lake Geneva. The fountain has a 2-inch bronze nozzle and is driven from an 100,000-gallon reservoir, 580 feet above the Canal, via a 12-inch diameter medium-density polyethylene pipe 2 kilometres long.
(NB This last piece of information is very specific and can only have been provided by the water engineer who designed the refurbished system. I know, because I was one - AH49)

First lady Michelle Obama leads a reenactment planting of a Cherry Blossom Tree on the 100th Anniversary of The National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C.
It was March 27, 1912, when First Lady Helen Herron Taft and Viscountess Chinda, wife of the Japanese ambassador, planted the first two trees from Japan on the north bank of the Tidal Basin in West Potomac Park.
For the March 27th 2012 planting First Lady Michelle Obama planted her tree in West Potomac Park, the closest cross streets to this planting location would be Ohio Drive SW at West Basin Drive SW.

MRS. OBAMA: Thank you. Thank you so much, it is a true pleasure to be here on this beautiful, little chilly day. (Laughter.) We planned it. This is the only cold day of the week, and we are here. But I am pleased to be here.
I want to start by thanking Secretary Salazar for that very kind introduction, and for all of his outstanding work as Secretary of the Interior.
I want to thank and recognize Ambassador Fujisaki, as well as Mrs. Fujisaki, who are here today. Thank you all so much, I know you're here somewhere -- oh, you're here. (Laughter.) It's good to see you both. And I want to thank all of you for taking the time to join us for this historic event.
We have come together to celebrate these beautiful cherry blossom trees -- and yes, they were blooming last week. We were so close. (Laughter.) But I think the tree we're planting will -- still has a few blooms, but they are beautiful. And we are here to honor all that they stand for. For so many years, these trees have served as a symbol of the great friendship between the United States and Japan, and as a reminder of our shared hopes, dreams and aspirations.
People from both of our nations worked together for years to bring these trees here to Washington. And over the past century, people of all ages from the U.S. and Japan and so many other nations have come to this Tidal Basin each spring to marvel at their beauty. And year after year, even after the coldest, darkest, stormiest winters, these trees have continued to bloom.
So on this historic anniversary, we don’t just admire the beauty of these trees, we also admire their resilience. And in so doing, we are reminded of the extraordinary resilience of the Japanese people. Over the past year, we have all witnessed their courage, unity and grace as they have come together and begun the very hard work of rebuilding their nation.
And I think that that more than anything else is the lesson that we can learn from these trees. They teach us about all that we can achieve together. And because people from both of our nations came together, this landscape was transformed. And for one hundred years, people from every background and every walk of life have come here to experience, truly, the magic of these trees.
No matter who you are, their beauty stirs our souls. No matter where we’re from, being here among these beautiful blossoms truly lifts our spirits. And that is why we invited all of these wonderful children to join us -- where are the children? There they are. (Applause.) They are here because we want them to learn this lesson as well; we want to pass this lesson onto them. We want to teach them about the great partnership between our nations and what that means for our shared future. We want to teach them to appreciate and learn from the traditions and cultures of others.
And we want them to be inspired by the example of our friends in Japan who have worked so hard and who have been so brave in rebuilding their lives. Because in the end it will be up to them, this next generation, to continue that great friendship. It will be up to them to carry these traditions forward so that one hundred years from now, their children and grandchildren will be able to come here to this very spot and see the tree that we will plant, full grown and in full bloom.
And I hope that on that day, the First Lady –- or the First Gentleman –- of 2112 will also have the privilege of joining with our friends from Japan, and planting another tree which will bloom for yet another one hundred years and beyond.
So with that, I want to once again thank you all for joining us today, and bearing the frigid cold. If you stick around for one more day, it will be 80 tomorrow, I guarantee you. (Laughter.) It's really nice weather here. But we are truly honored to have you here, and it's a pleasure to be able to join in this very special occasion.
And with that, I think it is time for us to plant a tree. (Applause.)
