If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Music for your trip to the Universe:
Ground Control to Major Tom. Ground Control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)... Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)... Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff...)
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."
We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

"Here am I floating 'round my tin can, far above the moon. Planet Earth is blue. And there's nothing I can do" (Major Tom)

The Smile on Saturday theme is ORANGE! For those of us who have been teachers or parents or artists, this is a well known staple in the creative kit!
There are four orange possibilities in the photostream along with a collage of the four.

Ritz-Carlton PHILADELPHIA, PA. ... The historic hotel was originally built as a reproduction of the Pantheon when it opened in 1908 as The Girard Trust Company, and changed hands multiple times, until the turn of the century when the iconic building was converted into a hotel and opened as The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia in 2000.

Vintage, rustic-style entrance sign on Highway 61 at Gooseberry Falls State Park. This sign is one of my earliest memories of the North Shore.
The park is located in Castle Danger, about ten miles north of Two Harbors, Minnesota on the North Shore of Lake Superior. It is one of Minnesota's most popular and treasured state parks.
It was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the late 1930's/early 1940's as part of the New Deal getting men back to work during the Great Depression. There are several awesome historic buildings here along with lots of trails, many feet of rocky Lake Superior shoreline, a campground (book a year ahead of time for summer camping!), an awesome picnic area with CCC-built tables still in place and lots more.
It's a "must stop" place if you are going anywhere on the North Shore.
An early morning image of the iconic T.A. Moulton barn in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming USA. with the majestic Teton mountain range in the background. The barn is all that remains of the homestead which T.A. Mouton and his sons built between 1912 and 1945. This is said to be the most photographed barn in the USA, and the reason why is pretty obvious.
The Tower Bridge is one of London’s most famous landmarks. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and is an iconic symbol of London. This night photograph was taken with the beautiful sculpture, Girl with Dolphin, located near the north end of Tower bridge. There were drifting clouds that evening, which added to the atmospheric feel.
Brownstone townhouses.The shot was taken on 46th St between 8th and 9th Avenues in Manhattan,a Hell's Kitchen neighborhood.Barbetta is an iconic Northern Italian Restaurant that opened in 1906.There was a 3-alarm fire there once back in 2013.It took 105 firefighters to put the fire out in one hour,150 diners were safely evacuated.Bill and Hillary Clinton are regular diners there.
The morning was looking very fall-ish with mist in the woods, leaves on the ground, and shades of orange.

Cannot upload something new these days. Here’s an old pic of the classic view of Manarola, Liguria, Italy. Another attempt to present this incredible and cute town in the twilight of the spring evening. Zenith MC Zenitar-C Canon 16 mm F/2.8 Fisheye
Thank you for all the comments and faves, my friends.
Another view of the icon of Stourhead the Palladian bridge and The Pantheon (Temple of Hercules). Wander around these lovely National Trust owned grounds at any time of the year but for me the autumn colours make for a splendid walk and photo opportunity of course.
Built in 1974, the sign became known as the “gateway to the Cross”, featuring on music videos, TV, famous photographs and as a landmark meeting point.
Considered the largest billboard in the Southern Hemisphere at 41 metres long and 13 metres high, the sign is comprised of two sides – the right being the traditional red and white Coca-Cola sign and the left being a flex-faced sign that’s used to display the latest Coke campaigns.

The Serin's song is unmistakable. It usually stands in top of pine trees (or other trees as well) while he sings.

I'm immeasurably proud of my good friend Jackie. She also makes angels from glass she has fossicked at the margins of the river.
