I woke up early and went for a walk in the local residential area of Kyoto. The streets are quiet and peaceful. I can see a mix of modern buildings and old Japanese houses.
Reloaded from my old Flickr stream.
Some school kids on the lawn, Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. Some obvious landmarks in the background there... ;)
That tree on the right is really cool. I wonder what it is.
Note also the totally groovy lens flare. :P

A few of us went into Radio Dacorum, the local online radio station to be interviewed and to play some live music for them. Luckily, I play and sing far better than I selfie!
High school students visited City Hall and learned about the City's Internet Technology Department on Wednesday, March 29, 2023. Students were able to learn about the City's wide-ranging use of technology, including use of in-house applications, geographic information system (GIS), security camera network, and hardware management.
A four-hour local bus ride on dusty mountain roads and
I'm in the small spa town of Banos meaning 'baths'. I
swallow so much dust on the way, as it's too hot to
close the windows, that I have a sore throat by the
time I arrive.
Banos is famous for its thermal springs and is a
popular holiday spot for Ecuadorians, as well as
gringos. Surrounded by green mountains, it's dwarfed
by the snow-capped Tungurahua volcano, which means
'little hell' in Quichua. The volcano is still
active and the town is on permanent 'yellow' alert
since its evacuation in 1999 due to the threat of a
major eruption.
I wander down the main street to visit the attractive
Basilica and cloister and then take a taxi up to
Bellavista, for a viewpoint of the town and mountains
(I'm advised against hiking as two weeks ago a couple
were stripped of all their belongings including their
shoes).

A local market in Thailand, there is far more to explore than one might expect!

Mesa de Experiencias y debate sobre la relación de las monedas locales con el sector público y privado.

Encuentro de monedas sociales, locales y complementarias. Del 9 al 12 de Mayo de 2013 en Sevilla.
frightening and delighting tourists and locals alike. Speculation is rampant about some stray canine day of reckoning. Local post modern Nostradamuses claim that the possible joining of the three legged Hieronymus Dog with the fabled Boneless Salvador Dali Cat and the Bubonic Marcel Duchamp Rat would mean the end is finally near. If they band together with the usually solitary Dada Cockroach (the Switzerland of the surrealist world), an absurbist wailing and gnashing of teeth can't be far behind.
The Anti-Cruelty Society has annouced that laws regarding humane treatment of animals still apply to this dog. Mistreatment would not only result in legal action, but could prompt Cerberus to emerge from his post at the Gates of Hell. The tourist board and the Office of the Mayor are working together on a possible three legged race event for the hosting of the Olympics. "If the end is near, what better place for it than in Chicago during the Olympics. If we can get a Riverboat Casino in here by then, prepare for a highly successful, and thoroughly enjoyable end. Free drink tickets will, of course, be provided." Available at the Decameron Beer Tent. Promotional soothsayer wished to remain anonymous.
VFW Post 2461. Denver, Colorado. In celebration of the newly signed GI Bill. Props to Senators Jim Webb and Chuck Hagel.
In Warren Park, a large city park within walking distance. Looks good View On Black. Well, as good as a mostly black butterfly can look anyway.
It's unusual to see a horse of this colour pulling an Amish cart. Usually the Amish favour non-flashy, solid colour horses like bays, browns, and blacks - and this guy was a little smaller than the usual Amish buggy horses. I couldn't resist taking his photo!
That's the Shipshewana Livestock Auction Barn in the background (yes, live auction - as in horses, ponies, cows, goats, tack, household goods - you name it!
