Shiliupu (十六铺) nowadays is the place just south of the Bund where the tour boats depart and a new business district. Telephoto shot from the Heroes Memorial.
The name generally refers to the area between Huangpu River, Zhonghua Road and Renmin Road in the southeast of Huangpu District .
The name of Shiliupu originated in the 1860s in the late Qing Dynasty. In order to defend against the attack of the Taiping Army, local officials of the Qing Dynasty organized the companies inside and outside the county, forming 16 (十六, Shiliu) “shops” for public security and public affairs. Among them, Shiliupu is the largest “shop”, including the county town and Xiaodongmen, between the city and Huangpu River, north to Xiaodongmen Street and the French Concession. Basically the entire area around Wangjia Wharf Street (Wangjiamatoulu, 王家码头路).

They’re also a way of keeping at bay the perception that life is fleeting and we can’t hold onto the past :-)

Can't get enough of the charming tulip flower, if I have to say I have a favourite flower, this definitely is.
Most people think that tulips originated in the Netherlands with how iconic they are over there. But, they actually came from Central Asia where they grew as a wildflower. And they were first cultivated in Turkey around 1000AD. The tulip name actually comes from the Turkish word for ‘turban’ for their similar appearances.
Nowadays, tulips represent one of the most popular flowers in the world. Holland is the most well-known place for tulips as they are widely cultivated to blanket fields with incredible colours that can be seen during springtime.
Temple of the Forty Martyrs of Sevastia, Konakovo. Russia.
Date of foundation of the temple: 2004
The site allocated for the construction of the temple is located in the western part of the city of Konakovo, on the banks of the Volga.
Nowadays, daily services and ceremonies are held in the temporary church.
The priest had to master the profession of a builder in order to justify the hopes of the parishioners.
The projected temple is a two-aisled one, with a basement and choirs, an attached belfry, with a hipped-roof end of the main aisle and a four-pitched roof of the north side-altar. The main side-altar of the temple has a cubic main volume with four pillars carrying a light octagon with a dome.
The construction of the temple continues.
Father Oleg himself obtains and brings material for the future church, he negotiates with contractors, looks for workers. He can often be seen at a construction site. Father Oleg took upon himself a seemingly overwhelming burden - the construction of the first large church in the history of Konakovo. In the city, founded in Soviet times, the church was not foreseen. They built a state district power station, erected houses, laid out parks, but hands reached the temple only 14 years ago - in 2004. So the temple will be truly unique for the city.
This shot was taken from the rooftop of a building in Lisbon’s historic city enter.
From this perspective you have a view over the old downtown commercial area (known as “Baixa”) which is nowadays recovering its beauty with the maintenance works done on old buildings. In the distance you can see the top of the arch overlooking the Praça do Comércio and the river.
Being Lisbon my home town, my opinion is obviously biased, but I find this city, its light and ambience truly magnificent.

Nowadays, there are only 8 apostles left. Due to the continuing erosion that effects, not just the limestone stacks, but the coastal land, the current cliffs are expected to eventually become rock stacks.
It is the first time I have ever visited when there was absolutely no people around, usually it's very difficult to get a spot to take a photo here!
See photo below...
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

Water taxi on the Spree, at the heart of Berlin's government district. The buildings are, from left to right: 1) the Jakob-Kaiser-Haus, a parliamentary building named after Jakob Kaiser (1888 - 1961), a member of the Zentrumspartei, Christian trade unionist, and resistance fighter against the Nazi regime. 2) The Reichstagspräsidentenpalais which, until 1919, was solely used as a residence for the respective president of the German Reichstag. During the Weimarer Republik democratic panels were held there. Nowadays, it houses the Deutsche Parlamentarische Gesellschaft (German parliamentary society), a non-party association of members of the German Bundestag, the German state parliaments, and the European Parliament. 3), of course, is the Reichstag building, the seat of the German government. Hoisted up on the roof of the Reichstag building are the German national flag and also the flag of Europe (on the left, unfortunately, you can't see the wreath of stars here).
Processing-wise, I did a lot with Lightroom's new masking tool. I have mentioned it earlier, whenever I think that I'm done with the subscription and am finally ready to cancel it, Adobe comes up with something good that makes me "stay". The new (auto) masking tools in LR are such a "good something", they make it so easy and convenient to process different parts of an image with different adjustments. Since it's (Sliders) Sunday, I didn't leave it at LR adjustments, of course. I also went into Color Efex and applied several filters (please don't ask me which, I can't remember) for that "over-processed Sunday look" ;).
HSS, everyone, have a nice week ahead, and take care!
Wassertaxi auf der Spree, im Herzen des Berliner Regierungsviertels. Links neben dem Reichstagsgebäude ist das Reichtagspräsidentenpalais zu sehen. Es wurde wie das Reichstagsgebäude von Paul Wallot entworfen und diente bis 1919 ausschließlich als Wohn- und Arbeitssitz des jeweiligen Reichstagspräsidenten. In der Weimarer Republik wurden dort auch demokratische Foren und Debatten abgehalten. Heute beherbergt das Gebäude die Deutsche Parlamentarische Gesellschaft. Beim modernen Bau links handelt es sich um das Jakob-Kaiser-Haus, in dem sich gut 60 Prozent der Abgeordnetenbüros befinden.
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
Winter in São Paulo at the moment
23°C / 73°F
Nowadays it is still little known, but now it is being very commercialized, at least at CEAGESP (Market in São Paulo) I found several seedlings, they call succulent hedgehog.
This succulent caught my attention for its beauty. With a more delicate appearance, it certainly appears to be fragile, but on the contrary. Its rosette is very dense and can reach 10cm in height. The leaves are fleshy, dark blue-green, covered with tiny hairs. When kept in full sun, it intensifies its color, appearing black and keeps the rosettes denser and more compact.
Why choose this succulent at the time of arrangement? Firstly, it reproduces on the sides, which after some time fills a basin with several dense rosettes, secondly its color is very beautiful which gives a contrast of texture and interesting color in the arrangement.
The buds start to appear in summer, bright red in color, but with small white flowers, remaining for a few weeks.
The name "Sinocrassula" means "Chinese crassula". They come from the Yunnan province in the south of China, and also from the north of Burma. They grow at an altitude between 2,500 and 2,700 m
Synocrassula Yunnanesis prefers colder than warmer places. Remember that full sun does not mean hot places. What is easier to be cultivated in southern Brazil, due to our more tropical climate.

The surveillance tower, nowadays revamped, was built in the XI century by Sancho III de Navarra as one of the beachheads in the zone, just after preemting the muslims, who had been harassing the area since the VIII century.
La torre de vigilancia fue construida por Sancho III de Navarra como uno de los puntos avanzados de vigilancia en la zona, tras la expulsión de los musulmanes, que llevaban hostigando el territorio desde el siglo VIII.
The original castle, probably wooden, is first mentioned in 1260. The rich history of the castle, of more than seven centuries, boasts glorious periods as well as darker ones. Nowadays, Doorwerth Castle shines in all its 17th century glory, including a gatehouse, coach house and stables.

Nikon FM2 with a Nikkor 50/1.8 and Fuji Velvia 50 - "SOOC"
Finally I made it, sorting out my old slides. The colours of Fuji Velvia 50 are wonderful. I wondered, how good the quality is after scanning. This is so to say a SOOC picture. After seeing so many photos taken with film nowadays, I'm playing with the thought of reactivating my old Nikon FM2 and shoot some films.
Italia, Emilia-Romagna, Comacchio, Primavera 2023
Comacchio è un comune dell'Emilia Romagna, in provincia di Ferrara. È stata fondata circa duemila anni fa; nel corso della sua storia fu governato prima dall'Esarcato di Ravenna, poi dal Ducato di Ferrara, per poi tornare a far parte dei territori dello Stato Pontificio. Per il suo paesaggio e la sua storia è considerato uno dei maggiori centri del delta del Po. Comacchio sorge al centro dell'omonima laguna e fu originariamente costruita unendo 13 isolotti formatisi alla foce del fiume Po con il mare. Prima di subire l'inesorabile insabbiamento dovuto alla vicinanza della foce del fiume Po, fu nei secoli un importante porto navale dell'Adriatico e uno dei principali scali commerciali del Nord Italia. Del suo glorioso passato, la città conserva oggi architetture ed edifici di grande pregio, oltre ai caratteristici canali che le sono valsi l'appellativo di “piccola Venezia”.
Comacchio is a town of Emilia Romagna, Italy, in the province of Ferrara. It was founded about two thousand years ago; across its history it was first governed by the Exarchate of Ravenna, then by the Duchy of Ferrara, and eventually returned to be part of the territories of the Papal States. For its landscape and its history, it is considered one of the major centres of the Po delta. Comacchio rises in the middle of a lagoon of the same name and was originally built by joining 13 small islands formed at the mouth of the Po River with the sea. Before suffering the inexorable silting due to the proximity of the mouth of the Po River, over the centuries it was an important naval port in the Adriatic Sea and one of the main ports for trade in North Italy. Of its glorious past, the city nowadays preserves architectures and buildings of great value, beyond the characteristic canals that have worth it the nickname of “little Venice”.

When we nowadays hear or read the word bookmark, we usually think of it in relation with an Browser on our computers and mobilephones for our visit in the world wide web. But there used to be a time when this word was standing for use only for books. And this is how our tiny little helpers still use it in their little world. A nice Dragon brass bookmark is a great place for my tiny friend to sit down, relax and read for a little while. :)

To see more of the emptiness or rather more of spaciousness, viewers from around the world are now tracking the following blogger:
Coming back to the musicians of the younger generation, some say few of them play with their heart. Competitions as a way of starting a career in music is devastating. And then there is the rise of recording business where audience would listen with the sheet music on hand ! And then the undue influence of the so-called critiques -- mostly paid one way or the other-- turning music into a money making machine, promoting populism even in classical music. Few musicians nowadays improvise anymore and rubato is a rarity; too many scales and etudes instead. Furtwangler used to interprete music there and then, so every time is different, making music a multi-facet expressive and organic entity. The tradition is gone. The change of modern human relationship, following the rise of metropolitan city life particularly so with the breaking down of families and family ties. Does one need to know life better before he actually knows about arts, the imitation of life ? Making things worse, noisy factories are full steam ahead... All in all, only 3-5 % of the population are still listening to classical music these days, according to numerous surveys! I, nevertheless, find the following players charming:

nowadays the world is small and apparently all-inclusive information ... so I am even asked by friends from other countries about the Mondrian picture, which has hung upside down for years in a museum in Düsseldorf.
Supposedly it can't be changed now because the public got used to it and maybe the glue won't hold anymore if you turn it the right way ...
what do you think ? on the right hangs the original version, on the left the now retained wrong hanging ...
heutzutage ist die Welt klein und anscheinend allumfassend informiert ... so werde ich selbst von Freunden aus anderen Ländern auf das Mondrianbild angesprochen, das falsch herum über Jahre im Museum in Düsseldorf gehangen hat, angesprochen.
Angeblich kann es jetzt nicht mehr geändert werden, weil das Publikum sich daran gewöhnt hat und vielleicht der Kleber nicht mehr hält, wenn man es richtig dreht ...
was meint ihr ? rechts hängt die Originalfassung, links die jetzt beibehaltene falsche Hängung ...

A forgotten Lockheed PV-2 at Gila memorial airpark, just south of Phoenix AZ. You can find several PV2s an DC4s on this abandoned airpark, including the burned down terminal building. It was used to be the base of 60 aircraft back in the 1980s. Nowadays it is just a great place for photography!
Please take a look at my photostream for more photographs from this amazing place.
As a boy tagging behind my bushman father in the Motu bush, these birds were common.
In fact he gauged the coming weather by how far out of the water level the birds chose to nest.
It would not be easy to even find a nest nowadays.
Friendly, trusting and form an amazing pair bond that reflects the difficult terrain they choose to call home.
One of only two torrent ducks worldwide.
I once witnessed a pair of ducklings ( newly hatched ) get into a fight.
The mother quickly separated the two scolding each separately, something I had never seen before among birds of any kind or could imagine even happening.
Such dedication and care also reflects the isolated and extreme haunt of these sturdy ducks, where dependance on each other is vital

Yorkshire's River Don is a river that has suffered over 200 years of industrial abuse, only to be declared biologically dead in the 1960's. Nowadays with the loss of heavy industries i.e. coal mines, power stations, steel works ,mills , factories and concerted efforts by environmental groups the River Don is now a river of fish and wild life.
ZAANSTAD - nowadays amalgamates a number of smaller towns and villages, which have their origins in Late Middle Ages. The Zaan river connects the centre of Noord-Holland to the IJ river and Amsterdam, and on both sides of the river villages sprung up that soon became involved in all kinds of industrial activities. Most activity was concentrated on the west side of the river, where in the 17th century a string of small towns grew into the first industrial area in the world. Hundreds of windmills were employed to produce all kinds of produce like flour, timber, paints and oil for the city of Amsterdam - at the time the largest port of the world. While the Zaan Region lost much of its importance in the 18th century, it became the centre of Dutch food industry in the late 19th and 20th century.
In front the Voorzaan, left the Harbour with its Historic Ships.
Finiki is a coastal settlemennt, built by the local fishermen.
Until 1900 Finiki was the main commercial port of Karpathos. The village is situated in a large natural bay, which means a well protected marina for the smaller boats.
Nearly 400 years ago, Armação de Pêra earned its name from tuna traps set in the bay of Pêra, beginning a legacy handed down from generation to generation to this very day. [...]. By the end of the 19th century, the humble sardine had become the village’s main economic resource, remaining a fantastically fresh local delicacy even today.
There are many more treasures to be found here, including octopus, sole, red mullet, cuttlefish, sea bass and bream. Over the winter months, we can see small boats setting out to catch crabs in the traditional pots that their ancestors would have used.
Today, there are around 20 registered [traditional] fishing boats, their colourful hulls lining the shores of Armação and painted vibrant upon a canvas of golden sands. [...]. The fishermen here are helping to preserve a part of their culture that has survived social, economic, and ecological challenges in order to endure today. [...]. Google
[PS] The town is one of the last places in the region where fishing boats are launched from and recovered to the actual beach [nowadays by a tractor]. There is no harbour. Wikipedia

This piece of national architecture of 19th Century relates to south of Polavshchyna and that as of nowadays has disappeared. It was built in 70th of 19th Century.
The house from Revasivka village has never been reconstructed since it had been built. Its window frames were re-made in the mid-50th of 20th Century. The walls are decorated with clay of different color; inside there is a carved cupboard, painted trunk and national pictures in interior.
The house from Revazivka village was discovered in 1976 by an architect Lukianchuk V.D. and restored in the Museum in 1977-1978.
Few words about Revazivka village, as it were never mentioned in modern sources. In the middle of 19th Century, this village was called Novakivka and belonged to Ploshchanska volost of Poltava povit in Poltava hubernia.
It was a village of a proprietor, with 179 souls in 18 yards. Officially, Revazivka is called sloboda. There were 219 inhabitants in 44 homesteads.
Nowadays, the village of Revazivka has joined to Grekopavlivka village. It now relates to Stovbynska village council in Novosanzharskyi district of Poltavska Region.
The house is of two rooms (a home, a mudroom), of combined structure. A two-room house could be met only in poor villages belonging to proprietors. A three-room house was more traditional for Poltava area.
The house is built on piles. Above the windows, piles are covered with shingles. A longitudinal ceiling beam and upper parts of piles have tips on sidewall adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. A lumber lay on tips to support auxiliary beams of the roof. Ceiling comprises ceiling beam and slyzhni. The slyzhni are surfaced by caber, and then covered with clay.
The four-slope roof of the house is low, supported by rafters and covered with cane sheaves, as there were a lot of cane in the waterlog river valley near Revazivka.
Combines, log and framework structure of a national dwelling on south Poltavshchyna was typical of this region, poor in building wood.
Especially interesting was filling of this house’s framework walls: there were twiggen with mullein. This grass grew high near Revazivka, and had strong stems. The local say: “Even shipworms never eat mullein”.
This is a house of two rooms (a home and a mudroom) with framework and log walls. Under the windows, walls are framework: horizontal hlytsi are nailed to vertical piles, with osier between them. Above the windows, planks of three parts are fixed to piles. A longitudinal ceiling beam is fixed thereto and two transverse ones (one in the home, another – in the mudroom). The longitudinal beam and tops of planks have overlaps on sidewall, adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. Inside and outside, the house is clayed and whitewashed, except for back wall, only clayed. The house stays now on concrete basement.
Area – 53.92 square meters (5.15 x 10.47).
Хата з с. Ревазівка, Новосанжарського р-ну, Полтавської обл.
Пам′ятка традиційного народного будівництва XIX століття в південній Полтавщині, яких на даний момент в регіоні не існує. Побудована в 70 – ті роки ХІХ століття.
Хата з с. Ревазівка від її існування не перебудовувалася. У середині 50-х років ХХ століття перероблені віконні рами. Підводка стін кольоровими глинами, різьблений мисник, мальована скриня, народний живопис в інтер’єрі.
Хата с. Ревазівка виявлена в 1976 році архітектором Лук′янчуком В.Д. і реставрована в Музеї у 1977 – 1978 роках.
Коротко про село Ревазівку, оскільки в сучасних джерелах воно не згадується. Поселення Ревазівка в середині XIX століття називалося Новаківка і належало до Площанської волості Полтавського повіту Полтавської губернії.
Було воно поміщицьким селом і проживало там 179 душ у 18 дворах. Старожили розповідають, що Ревазівкою володів пан Ревазов. У 1926 році Ревазівка офіційно зветься слободою, з числом мешканців – 219, які проживали у 44 господарствах.
Зараз село Ревазівка з’єднане з селом Грекопавлівкою і належить до Стовбинської сільради Новосанжарського району Полтавської обл..
Хата дводільна /хата, сіни/, комбінованої конструкції. Дводільні хати траплялися тут тільки в бідних поміщицьких селах. Традиційно на Полтавщині було тридільне житло.
Хата збудована на сохах. На сохи, вище вікон покладено ощіп. Подовжній сволок та верхні вівнця ощіпу мають з покутнього причілку випуски, утворюючи значний винос даху. На випуски укладено брус, на який спираються наріжники даху. Основу хатньої стелі утворюють сволок і слижні. По слижнях укладено щільно жердини, а зверху шар м’ятої глини.
Чотирисхилий дах хати невисокий, на кроквах. Покриття з очерету, техніка – «парки». Очерету біля Ревазівки росло багато на заболоченій річковій долині.
Комбінована зрубно – каркасна конструкція народного житла південної Полтавщини була характерною для цього регіону, бідного на будівельний ліс.
Особливо цікавим було заповнення каркасу стін даної хати с. Ревазівка: стіни були заплетені коров’яком. Коров′як поблизу Ревазівки ріс високий, з міцним стеблом. «Коров′яка і шашель не бере».
Дводільне житло (хата, сіни). Стіни каркасно – зрубні. До вікон стіни каркасні: до вертикальних сох прибито горизонтальні глиці, між якими всторч заплетена лоза. На сохи, вище вікон, покладео ощіп з трьох вінців. В ощіп врубано подовжній сволок та два поперечні (один у хаті і один у сінях). Подовжній сволок та верхні вінця ощіпу мають випуски з покутнього причілку, утворюючи значний винос даху. Хата ззовні і всередині обмащена і побілена крім задньої, порудованої стіни. Хата встановлена на бетонний фундамент.
Площа - 53,92 м2 (5.15 х 10.47).

The Royal House of Estremoz Castle houses nowadays a Pousada. Its construction began in the 13th century under D. Sancho III reign, continuing during the reigns of D. Afonso III and D. Dinis. The Royal House was built during the reign of the later. The Holy Queen passed away in this castle. The front of the castle is dominated by a 27m high keep. It has a pentagon-shaped plan, surrounded by a wall reinforced by tower-like wing walls. The keep was totally built in marble blocks. It has three monumental balconies in the third floor. In 1736 D. João V rebuilt the former Royal House of D. Dinis, where he founded the Arms’ Room, a famous arm museum of that time. Part of the castle was destroyed after a gunpowder magazine explosion in 1698. Following the Restoration of Independence (1640), the city was bordered by a bastion-like wall, which remains almost intact nowadays.

La Masia Freixa is a modernist building located in Terrassa (Barcelona).
Built in 1896, it was originally designed as a fabric factory and was reformed between 1907 and 1914 by Lluís Muncunill i Parellada, who transformed the factory into the family residence of textile industrialist Josep Freixa.
The architect turned it into one of the jewels of Modernism art in Terrassa, with its arches and vaults inspired by Gaudí and white painted walls.
Highlights a tall tower, which has an octagonal body of four levels, the last of which is surrounded by a balcony viewpoint.
Nowadays, the Masia Freixa is home to the City Council for the Promotion of the City and Tourism and, also, the Ombudsman's Office.
