The Roman district of Garbatella was designed in 1920 by famous architects and intended for the working class of the time. The style is the "Roman late baroque", with sinuous shapes that give life to neo-medieval buildings.
the whole district, with the fountains, the buildings, the balconies, the villas, the stuccoes and the green spaces, recalls this concept of the Garden City and can be considered a large open-air monument as well as an example of humanistic architecture
From being a backwater fishing village at the turn of the 20th Century, with mostly bamboo hut dwellings known as “kampong houses,” Singapore now has some of the most modern and unique architecture anywhere in the world. The city state’s commercial success has provided it with the wealth to not only preserve many historical buildings, but also develop some very iconic modern structures, such as the floating Apple Store, the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, and the ArtScience Museum, set among lofty skyscrapers.
The contemporary buildings have been developed with a view to enhance Singapore’s reputation as the Garden City, and maximize the tropical vegetation coverage, whether it is on pedestrian bridges or rooftop gardens. This effort dilutes the concrete jungle feel that most urban centers have, and encourages people to walk rather than jump into a car for every little trip.

While the others are marathoning around the vicinity... I had a peaceful and quiet morning at the Gardens By The Bay ... Admiring mother nature at its best.
"The Thelottviertel is considered Germany's first "garden city". The term was coined by the British urban planner Ebenezer Howard. With his idea of the "garden city", he primarily pursued social reformist ideas.
On drained floodplain land, a colony of single-family houses was laid out - a novelty for the time - with spacious front and main gardens and landscaped courtyard areas. Practicality, attractive form and reasonable construction costs were the requirements for the homes, which were located close to the centre.
Between 1907 and 1929, 106 single-family houses were built, most of them in terraced construction. In addition, 76 (multi-family) apartment and commercial buildings were built.
The urban planning concept of the "Buchegger'sche Einfamilienhäuser-Colonie" (Buchegger's Colony of Single-Family Houses) at that time was based on a well-designed layout and varied siting of the houses, which stood alone or were grouped together in small groups. It was already praised as exemplary by contemporary experts."

A combination of various geometric shapes in scale and dimension brings forth a very unique skyline in the night when the buildings are illuminated.
I liked this poetic title to caption my photo but it will be far from the last rose of summer in Victoria BC where roses bloom about eight months of the year. And that's not just the hype from tourism pamphlets for I have seen it with my own eyes. I'm not usually a huge taker of flower photos but when you are vacationing in the Garden City of Canada, it;s kind of obligatory.

Forced myself to wake up early one day on vacation so I could shoot the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean and I'm glad I did.

St. Catharines is the largest city in Canada's Niagara Region and the sixth largest urban area in Ontario, with 96.13 square kilometres (37.1 sq mi) of land and 133,113 residents in 2016. It lies in Southern Ontario, 51 kilometres (32 mi) south of Toronto across Lake Ontario, and is 19 kilometres (12 mi) inland from the international boundary with the United States along the Niagara River. It is the northern entrance of the Welland Canal. Residents of St. Catharines are known as St. Cathariners.
St. Catharines carries the official nickname "The Garden City" due to its 1,000 acres (4 km2) of parks, gardens and trails.
This is the morning view from our "cabin" in Garden City, Utah which overlooked Bear Lake. Cabin is kind of a misnomer. It was actually a three-level condo which fit twelve of us. It seems Bear Lake tradition calls for lots of people to share large rental houses and condos and call them cabins. Our rented cabin had some gorgeous views of the lake from our balconies, including the marina from which most of the sailboats launched. Very calm waters early in the morning.

Even the little kids tried skijoring yesterday. This little one's mother walked the horse through the course at about two miles per hour, but it was obvious that the child already knew how to ski. Check out my previous post to learn about skijoring.
