in Venice we can forget automobiles, doesn't fit there - maybe global warming in the very future will give this experience to some other cities too :-)
Miami is a seaport city at the southeastern corner of the U.S. state of Florida and its Atlantic coast. As the seat of Miami-Dade County, the municipality is the principal, central, and the most populous city of the Miami metropolitan area and part of the second-most populous metropolis in the southeastern United States.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Miami's metro area is the eighth-most populous and fourth-largest urban area in the U.S., with a population of around 5.5 million.
Miami is a major center, and a leader in finance, commerce, culture, media, entertainment, the arts, and international trade. In 2012, Miami was classified as an Alpha−World City in the World Cities Study Group's inventory. In 2010, Miami ranked seventh in the United States in terms of finance, commerce, culture, entertainment, fashion, education, and other sectors. It ranked 33rd among global cities. In 2008, Forbes magazine ranked Miami "America's Cleanest City", for its year-round good air quality, vast green spaces, clean drinking water, clean streets, and citywide recycling programs.
According to a 2009 UBS study of 73 world cities, Miami was ranked as the richest city in the United States, and the world's fifth-richest city in terms of purchasing power. Miami is nicknamed the "Capital of Latin America" and is the largest city with a Cuban-American plurality.
Miami has the third tallest skyline in the U.S. with over 300 high-rises. Downtown Miami is home to the largest concentration of international banks in the United States, and many large national and international companies. The Civic Center is a major center for hospitals, research institutes, medical centers, and biotechnology industries.
For more than two decades, the Port of Miami, known as the "Cruise Capital of the World", has been the number one cruise passenger port in the world. It accommodates some of the world's largest cruise ships and operations and is the busiest port in both passenger traffic and cruise lines.
Metropolitan Miami is the major tourism hub in the American South, number two in the U.S. after New York City and number 13 in the world, including the popular destination of Miami Beach.

Along with The Crowns at Boallack , the Towenroath Shaft Engine House is one of the most photographed enginehouses of the mining areas of Cornwall .
Perched half way down the cliff , it is quite a sight to see .
Wheal Coates tin mine opened in 1802 and worked until 1889. The image of the Towanroath Shaft engine house, famous on postcards, calendars, and on the telly represents for many the serene beauty of the north Cornish coast. In reality this industrial landscape holds a harsh and austere history.
The life of a Cornish miner was tough.
Working deep underground in cramped and stifling conditions meant that miners were thought of as worn out and old by the time they were 40. The air in the mine was thick with powder smoke, dust and fumes from rock blasting that miners often coughed up black phlegm. Many suffered with bronchitis, silicosis, TB and rheumatism. Accidents caused by explosions, falling, rock falls, drowning and entanglement in machinery were a real danger and took many lives.
Woman were employed as Bal maidens, wielding hammers and crushing copper ore into smaller fragments. By the early nineteenth century over 7000 children were working in Cornish mines, initially above ground doing menial tasks, but when they were twelve they joined their fathers underground.
At its peak Cornish mining employed upwards of 30,000 people. In the mid nineteenth century the industry began to decline, and in 1875 over 10,000 miners left Cornwall to find work overseas. The skills and experience of Cornish mining spread across the world. They also took the pasty with them.
There are over 160 places, across six continents, where Cornish mine workers took their skills, technology and traditions; a truly global heritage. Cornwall and west Devon’s mining landscape, shaped during a period of intense industrial activity, is testimony to one of the greatest periods of economic, technological and social development Britain has ever known.
From 1700 to 1914, the metal mining industry played a vital role in transforming our way of life. It provided essential raw materials to feed the Industrial Revolution in Britain, and pioneered technological developments that helped shape the society we live in today. For example, Richard Trevithick’s advances in steam engine technology – originally motivated by the need to pump water out of mines – ultimately enabled the development of steam trains, changing the world forever through the mass movement of people and goods.
World Heritage
On 13 July 2006 select mining landscapes across Cornwall and West Devon were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, placing Cornish mining heritage on a par with international treasures like Machu Picchu, the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China.
Is timing everything or are some things timeless?
Hello there. Relevant comments welcome but please do NOT post any link(s). All my images are my own original work.
In the air at 10:45 on a Monday morning. Just a snapshot of a moment in time, and so it goes on and on. Makes you think doesn't it.
And they blame us for leaving our tv's on standby!!

"Kannst du einen Stern anrühren?" fragt man das kluge Kind. "Ja", sagt es, neigt sich und berührt die Erde.
Hugo von Hofmannsthal (1874-1929).
Ich habe mich ja schon oft gefragt, wie ein Global Player aussieht. Jetzt weiß ich jetzt, denn ich habe einen Global Player mit seinem Spielball getroffen und durfte beide sogar fotografieren.
Das ist natürlich "Woody" von IKEA, der gerade ein bisschen mit der Erde spielt. Das Licht kommt von unten. Bilder entstehen bei mir zuerst im Kopf, die Umsetzung ist dann Nebensache.

"Can you touch a star?", I am asking an intelligent child?. "Yes", the child tells me by tilting the head and touching the earth.
Hugo von Hofmannsthal (1874-1929).
How many times I have asked myself how is the visual nature of a Global Player? Now, I know it because I have met one with his match-ball.
I have photographed "Woody", the IKEA-man while playing with the earth. The light is coming from the bottom. Sure, I do some work in photoshop. I have had the picture since several days in my mind.

Parco Naturale Fanes Senes Braies ( Trentino Alto Adige ) - Italia
In questo periodo dell'anno il Parco Naturale Fanes Senes Braies dovrebbe cominciare a coprirsi del manto nevoso. A causa del surriscaldamento globale del pianeta il paesaggio che si presenta è pressoché identico a quello della stagione estiva.
This time of year the Fanes Senes Braies Natural Park should begin to cover the snowpack. Because of global warming the planet's landscape that presents itself is almost identical to that of the summer season.
I'm still impressed by the distances people travel just to get to this event. There are teams from not only across Europe and the Middle East but also north and south America.
Finally also in Munich! I think there's no need to cover the plate because every petrolhead on flickr already knows this car.
Sorry for the bad shot, I arrived at the scene when Jon Olssons friend was already getting in the car.
As you may know, this particular Superleggera has a Quicksilver-exhaust which makes it insanely loud. Really crazy.
