The title of each photo in this series is a translated line from a poem found in the Chapel of Bones. See the full poem in the original language here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capela_dos_Ossos#Poem .
From our tour guide - the Franciscan monks who used the bones of approximately 5000 corpses, built this to send a message to the nobles that in death, no one can tell the difference between the rich and the poor, royal or common.
Indicated by green, traffic on A10 North East Rd or Sudholz Rd can turn left at the intersection as usual.
However, as right-hand turns at the intersection are no longer possible, northbound traffic on A10 North East Rd (indicated by blue) would have to turn left onto Blacks Rd and right onto Sudholz Rd when going south-east to Paradise and other suburbs. Indicated by red, southbound traffic on A10 North East Rd about to head north-west would then have to turn left onto Sudholz Rd and make a u-turn at the Sudholz Rd/Lyons Rd intersection.
Kind of strange, but it helps peak-hour traffic on North East Rd flow more smoothly.
How lucky was this? When I was on The Ruddington Connection going back to Nottingham, This car has parked up right outside a house but not good for the car in the house since it can't get out. The camera was covered up here because of the continuous rain we kept getting and to get this photo, My bus stopped at a good point at the bus stop. It may be a once in a lifetime capture but I've seen it before and the first time I had my camera out too. The only point was if the bus was every 10 minutes instead of 30, I would've got out and investigated it. If it was on the roads and the cameras were on, I might've been on the photo. Remember, if you see this car around, make sure you get a picture since you might only see it once.

「為了2006世足賽趕工」：歐洲第一大火車站--德國柏林中央車站
It is now Europe's largest two-level railway station
歷時十年建造，斥資7億歐元，為迎接世足賽在德國舉辦，於2006年5月趕工完成。共有八個月台，負責每天1800車次載運三十五萬人的運輸量。
佔地16萬4千平方公尺，位於施普河畔(River Spree)、正對著德國司法院與國會前方；落成後，許多列車，包括從巴黎到莫斯科以及從斯德哥爾摩通往維也納的鐵路都將在此轉運、接駁，為歐洲最大的火車站。
該車站擁有開放式寬闊的空間與自然採光，即使是位於地下樓層的月台，也明亮、潔淨
月台屋頂由半圓形玻璃與鋼骨結構打造，每片一平方公尺的玻璃共九千多片，使得月台能夠得到幾乎透明的採光效果，同時增加了施工的難度。兩旁的雙子星高達14層辦公大樓結構，橫跨了整個車站玻璃屋頂，更是施工過程中重大挑戰。

I grew up on the East Side of Toledo, Ohio (Utah Street), not far from the Maumee River, and with a pretty clear view of downtown.
The I-280 bridge towards the top was originally named after Toledo's first casualty in the Korean War. At some point (mid 70s, I think) some Federal bureaucrat came in and told the city that they couldn't name an interstate bridge because it was Federal property. I'm pretty sure that years later that was changed and that the bridge is now named after Martin Luther King, Jr.
Just north of the South End bridge is a railroad trestle from which Juice Box took a photo from an Amtrak train.
The Anthony Wayne Bridge, as well as the Anthony Wayne Trail (which isn't attached to the bridge in any way) were named after "Mad" Anthony Wayne. There was a playground underneath the bridge that we spent a lot of time at as kids. We also climbed into the bridge's structure once in a while (avoiding mucho, mucho pigeon shit!)... once, I climbed a drain pipe (that ran from the bridge's road surface) and as I was about to step over to the bridge's concrete base, I fell about ten feet (or more) and landed flat on my back. Fortunately, I only had the wind knocked out of me. Well, that and the desire to climb the bridge again!
Here's another example of the "Escher Effect" that's sometimes seen in satellite pictures. This pic was screen-grabbed from Google Maps.
The effect is caused when two separate airplane or satellite pics are taken of different sections/plots of a city, and then stitched together. Each pic is taken from a different angle, so the taller buildings' pics are taken with different perspective points, causing them to appear to lean toward or away from each other.
See my other Escher Effect Pics.

This photo is Geotagged, too! To view a map of the location from within Flickr along with many other people's photos of the building, click on the (map) link in the lower right-hand column.
