The Cardo, Jewish Quarter, Old City, Jerusalem, Israel
The Cardo (or Cardo Maximus) was a paved avenue approximately 22.5 meters wide with a colonnade. It was built during the Roman Period (2nd-3rd centuries CE) and served as Jerusalem's main commercial avenue for almost 500 years.
"Many Roman cities had a Cardo – a grand main thoroughfare flanked by two rows of columns, bisecting the city from north to south. The Cardo was the main commercial avenue of Jerusalem for almost 500 years.
The northern section remnants date to the Roman period (2nd - 3rd centuries C.E.). The southern section remnants date to the Byzantine period (6th century C.E.). Jerusalem's Cardo is portrayed on the ancient mosaic floor of a church in Medaba, Jordan."
Ya know, Elvis Costello once said that "writing about music is like dancing about architecture."nAnd he's got a point. Can anyone ever really explain why music means so much to us? Daniel J. Levitin is a McGill prof with platinum records on his walls. He started out playing in punk bands in California - which led to nearly 20 years as a producer. Daniel worked with artists like Stevie Wonder, k.d. lang and David Byrne. As if that wasn't enough, he's now in his second career as a neuroscientist - Daniel uses his research to explore how music affects us and why. He hit big with his first best-seller 'This Is Your Brain On Music.' And he's digging even deeper with his latest - 'The World In Six Songs.' Levitin argues that music has shaped human culture and that it might be a vital factor in our evolution as a species.

This is a photograph from the second annual running of the Fr. Murphy Athletic Club 10KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Kildalkey, Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland on Easter Sunday March 27th 2016 at 11:30. This road race also features the Meath 10KM Road Race Championships which is open to entry from any athlete who is a full member of a Meath AAI club. The race starts and finishes in the village of Kildalkey and follows a right handed rural route out towards Rathcormick, Ballivor and Moyrath before returning on the same 2KM as the start which runners will easily remember as a long straight stretch of road. The route brings the runners through beautiful Meath Countryside on low-traffic country roads. The conditions were not very suitable for road running with a very stiff breeze and cold dry conditions. The 10KM version of this race replaced the traditional annual 5 Mile road race which was promoted by the Fr. Murphy athletic club and was held previous in Athboy on St. Patrick's Day, then Ballivor before a move to Kildalkey on Easter Sundays. There was approximately 150 participants in the race with a very large support from athletics clubs in Meath.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Well, this strange building is a hotel. Not a ordinary hotel, this is what we Japanese call Love Hotel where people couples have sex ( there is a detailed explanation on wikipedia).
The site is Kiyamachi in Kyoto, where there are so many stores related with sex industry.
In fact, Kiyamachi was't like that until a school near this site was closed, here was a ordinary street.
But beside of Kiyamachi, there is Pontcho district, where is famous for Geisha.
So, I concluded like this - Kiyamachi district has a layer of sexuality as a base. And other ordinary things like a school, cafes bars... are existing in Chasm of the layer of Sexuality.
And there have been pushing and shoving between them.
(Maybe I have to give you a more detailed explanation but it's very hard to do in English!)
So I used this unique system of this city on this architecture.
First, there is a volume of a hotel, and then public space intrudes on the volume.
Public space is colored in red and above and below of a public space, you can see many holes. Each holes are rooms of the hotel, and there couples have...

As jann_on has faved this, I'll explain - the old notice at the upper left says that posting bills on this structure is forbidden, by order of the Reichsbahndirektion ("Imperial Railways Regional Directorate") for the S-Bahn Berlin. So what empire was that then?
The answer is that East Germany's railways continued to call themselves the Deutsche Reichsbahn (German Imperial Railways) - although East Germany wasn't an empire and as a communist state thought of itself as being in a state of revolutionary war against empires in general.
The reason for this is that the Allied Control Commission, in 1945, confirmed that the DR directorate for the Berlin region could keep running the S-Bahn network as before. This got important when Germany was divided, as much of the network is located in West Berlin. The East Germans were very keen to keep it, and wouldn't risk changing the name for fear of a western power-grab.
So, even after the Wall went up, you could still travel around West Berlin on an East German train although the crew would be West Berliners working for the Eastern railways' western subsidiary company. But you might be encouraged not to, as the West Berlin city council wasn't best pleased with its citizens giving the East Germans money every time they got on the S-Bahn. And it wouldn't be much fun, as the East Germans were very much not keen to invest in the system and it rapidly got run down.
On the other hand, as a West Berliner you could travel on a western train in the U-Bahn system and even pass beneath parts of East Berlin - the whole U-Bahn was run by the Berlin city council transport department and when the council chose to go west, it went west too. All clear so far? And that poster has survived since 1991 at the latest.
