La Habana interiores
He tenido la dicha de visitar determinados lugares donde hay una magia no escrita, donde la historia y otras maneras de hacer nos envolvieron en el pasado y lo tomamos por hecho.
Reconozco que cada tiempo tiene su impronta y patrones, pero el vivir en una sociedad "moderna" nos ha privado de mirar mas allá del teléfono y no encontrarnos con estas bellezas que otros pudieron construir en momentos anteriores.
Me mantengo preocupado hacia donde irá Cuba en el futuro, se olvidará estas maravillas del pasado para dar paso a la "modernidad" de otras ciudades?
Seen in the basement of a house we looked at but didn't rent. It was the light that attracted my eye.

This is a big Buddhist statue at the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion. It was either under renovation or being installed. The smile is mesmerizingly beautiful.
The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion is a Buddhist monument near Bendigo in central Victoria, Australia. The basic idea for building the stupa came from Lama Yeshe and then, after Lama Yeshe's death, from Lama Zopa Rinpoche, who decided to model the stupa (kumbum) on the Great Stupa of Gyantse which is 600 years old. When completed, the stupa's exterior will be an exact replica of the Great Stupa of Gyantse. It will be 50 metres (160 ft) high and its four sides will each be 50 metres (160 ft) long, making it one of the largest Buddhist monuments in the Western world. Buddhists say that viewing the stupa will help purify the mind.

Then take a trip to see Liverpool Central Library's amazing atrium
This entrance, captured at night, exemplifies the seamless fusion of modern and traditional Japanese design. Located in Kanazawa, a city known for its well-preserved historical districts, this building blends classic wooden craftsmanship with contemporary materials and lighting.
The delicate wooden latticework (koshi) along the left side recalls Edo-period machiya (町家) architecture, where such designs allowed natural ventilation and filtered light into the interiors. The black metal-framed roof and glass panels, however, introduce a modern aesthetic, signaling that this may be a refined ryokan, boutique hotel, or an upscale restaurant embracing heritage elements.
The softly illuminated wooden entrance creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. The polished stone pathway, along with the subtle integration of natural elements like bamboo and gravel, aligns with the Japanese concept of shakkei (borrowed scenery)—blending built environments with nature.
Kanazawa’s architectural landscape is known for its ability to preserve tradition while embracing innovation. This building stands as an example of that philosophy, capturing the balance between old-world charm and contemporary comfort. Whether it’s a hidden kaiseki restaurant, a tranquil ryokan, or a cultural space, its understated elegance invites guests into an experience of timeless Japanese hospitality.

Thank you, in advance, to those of you who take a moment to leave a comment and/or fave my photo. I appreciate it tremendously.
Ruby’s Diner Interior Lights / Orange, CA (USA)
Located at 186 No. Atchison in the City of Orange (USA), this diner is certainly a fine place to start the day with a hearty breakfast, a cup of coffee (or two) and some good company.
Overland Park, Kansas
This throwaway shot was the last I took during our trip to New York last May. I have a small handful left to post from that trip, but for the most part everything worthwhile has been posted.
I'll be taking another short break, during which I'll be working on post processing the pics I've taken over the summer, up to and including my upcoming trip into Arkansas and Missouri.
See you in a couple of weeks or so!
6 car vintage Triang Blue Pullman set at "New Dunford"
Just finished converting this 6 car set for DCC, with powered cars at both ends, stay alive capacitance, interior lighting and directional running lights. The Triang knurled wheels have gone, and there is supplementary power pickup in the trailing bogie using DCC Concepts coiled wire low friction contacts. I have used the same pickup arrangement to provide DCC interior lights in all four intermediate cars.
"New Dunford" is my current work in progress inspired by buildings and moorland scenery around Dunford Bridge. Much still to do, not least track ballasting.
