Inspired by Jan Kaila and LOTR << if anyone can tell me which movie and scene, you are legitimately awesome. :)
I've been wanting to take this for so long. I'm glad it worked out the way I had hoped (rare occurrence). In saying that, I believe I've just flickr-cursed this picture since the photos I like are not liked on here, and vice versa. Oh well.

Davenport, CA - 2013
Davenport has become one of my favorite places to visit along the coast. Its a funky little spot, and every time I go I end up in some sort of an adventure. This visit was no different. After spending some time in another spot I made my way to the pier. To get to the pier you have to traverse down an extremely steep and loose trail with a shear drop off on one side. I am not a fan of heights and was going to opt out and do something else, my wife had fire in her eyes and in nothing flat down she went. Lets just say down and up is not so easy with a camera bag on your back. I had a few private moments on the climb back up, wondering what indeed would happen if the weed that I was using as leverage to pull me up the face of the trail gave way. It worked out and made for a good story over dinner.
I was impressed by the sense of motion in this mural - while he is jumping or perhaps keeping pace with the subway car he is also leaping over a street memorial for someone who has died.
I don't know who this character represents and I was unable to find any information about anyone who had recently died in this area.

Berlin, "Municipal Baths Reloaded", Video Art and Light installations in the Lichtenberg Municipal Baths": Clock Sense, rotating installation by Florian Görlitz in the Small Hall. I am sorry to say that I forgot to make a video of the changing patterns on the clock.
Als Lichtenberg 1907 in den Rang einer Stadt erhoben wurde und sein erstes Rathaus besaß, plante die Stadtverwaltung auch die entsprechenden städtischen Einrichtungen wie ein Amtsgericht, ein Krankenhaus, ein Entbindungsheim, Schulen und ein Volksbad. Die Kommune erwarb ein 3800 m² großes Grundstück an der Frankfurter Allee und gründete eine Kommission für die Erbauung einer Volksbadeanstalt, besetzt mit sieben Stadtverordneten und sieben Bürgerdeputierten. Architekten lieferten sogar in der Zeit des Ersten Weltkriegs Baupläne für eine solche öffentliche Badeeinrichtung. Der erste Spatenstich erfolgte im Jahr 1919 und die Fundamente wurden gelegt. Weil Lichtenberg 1920 als Bezirk nach Groß-Berlin eingemeindet wurde und seinen Stadtstatus verlor (und sicherlich auch wegen knapper Kassen unmittelbar nach dem Krieg), wurden die Bauarbeiten eingestellt. Erst 1925, nach Überwindung der Inflation, wurde weitergebaut, nachdem die Ingenieur-Architekten Rudolf Gleye und Otto Weis die vorhandenen Pläne aktualisiert hatten. Es entstand ein mehrgliedriger kubischer Baukörper im Stil des Expressionismus mit – nach damaligen Vorstellungen – sehr modernen Ausstattungen:
Die Einweihung des Hubertusbades nahm der Berliner Oberbürgermeister Gustav Böß am 2. Februar 1928 vor. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg beschädigte eine Sprengbombe das Gebäude an der Nordwestseite, es blieb aber noch funktionstüchtig. Außerdem gingen durch die Druckwellen die meisten Scheiben zu Bruch. Das Bad wurde notdürftig repariert. Als im Zusammenhang mit der Errichtung kompletter Neubauviertel in den östlichen Stadtbezirken ab Ende der 1960er Jahre dort auch neue lichtdurchflutete Schwimmhallen entstanden, verlor das Hubertusbad seine über den Bezirk hinausgehende Bedeutung. Hinzu kam, dass nun Baumängel, die bereits seit der Fertigstellung vorhanden waren, immer gravierender wurden, 1988 musste deshalb zunächst die große Halle geschlossen werden. Grund war ein Defekt an der Wasseraufbereitungs- und Heizungsanlage, der sich nicht mehr beheben ließ. Nach dem Mauerfall und dem schrittweisen Zusammenwachsen der gesamten Stadt galten die bisherigen bundesdeutschen Vorschriften für solche Einrichtungen, Geld für Reparaturen stand nun auch nicht mehr bereit. Als 1991 die Hauptwasserzuführung kaputtging, mussten auch die kleine Halle und alle anderen Badeinrichtungen geschlossen werden. Die kleine Halle diente dann zweckentfremdet als Lagerhalle.. Im Jahr 2016 fasste der Senat von Berlin einen Entschluss, der einer Wiederbelebung des Bades einen großen Schritt näher kam: der Komplex bleibt Eigentum des Landes Berlin. Im Auftrag der Stadt kümmert sich seitdem das Unternehmen Berliner Immobilienmanagement (BIM) um Möglichkeiten der Nachnutzung.
Eine Wiederaufnahme des Badebetriebes ist wegen der hohen Investitionskosten und der Unwirtschaftlichkeit eines laufenden Betriebes nicht mehr vorgesehen. Daher soll das Stadtbad Lichtenberg sowohl Veranstaltungsort als auch Begegnungszentrum im Kiez werden. Zur langfristigen Erreichung dieses Zieles wurde ein Zwei-Stufen-Plan beschlossen und unter Beteiligung der Öffentlichkeit in einem Konkretisierungs- und Planungsworkshop vertieft: Im ersten Bauabschnitt, der Anfang des Jahres 2022 abgeschlossen war, wurden aus dem Haus mehrere Tonnen Bauschutt entfernt sowie Elektroanschlüsse und Sanitäranlagen im linken (östlichen) Gebäudeteil wieder hergerichtet. Über das Becken der ehemaligen Frauenschwimmhalle wurde ein Holzboden gezogen, auf dem seit 2022 Ausstellungen und andere Events stattfinden können. Auf diesem Parkettboden können bis zu 200 Personen platziert werden. Hier finden temporäre Veranstaltungen statt, wie die, die wir besucht haben. Sie heißt "Stadtbad Reloaded" und führt die Gäste auf einen spannenden Rundgang durch das Haus, welches mit beeindruckenden Lichtinstallationen und über 157 digitalen Kunstwerken in allen Ecken wieder zum Leben erwacht.

When Lichtenberg was elevated to the status of a town in 1907 and had its first town hall, the town council also planned the corresponding municipal facilities such as a district court, a hospital, a maternity home, schools and a public swimming pool. The municipality acquired a 3,800 square metre plot of land on Frankfurter Allee and set up a commission for the construction of a public baths, consisting of seven city councillors and seven citizen deputies. Architects even provided construction plans for such a public bathing facility during the First World War. The ground-breaking ceremony took place in 1919 and the foundations were laid. Because Lichtenberg was incorporated into Greater Berlin as a borough in 1920 and lost its city status (and no doubt also due to a shortage of funds immediately after the war), construction work was halted. It was not until 1925, after the inflation had been overcome, that building work resumed after the engineer-architects Rudolf Gleye and Otto Weis had updated the existing plans. The result was a multi-storey cubic building in the Expressionist style with - according to the ideas of the time - very modern fixtures and fittings. The Hubertusbad was inaugurated by the Lord Mayor of Berlin, Gustav Böß, on 2 February 1928. During the Second World War, a high-explosive bomb damaged the building on the north-west side, but it remained functional. Most of the windows were also broken by the blast waves. The baths were provisionally repaired. When new, light-flooded swimming pools were built in the eastern boroughs at the end of the 1960s in connection with the construction of entire new neighbourhoods, the Hubertus Baths lost its importance beyond the borough. In addition, construction defects, which had been present since completion, became increasingly serious, and in 1988 the large hall had to be closed. The reason was a defect in the water treatment and heating system that could no longer be repaired.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the gradual merging of the entire city, the regulations for such facilities in vigour in West Germany applied and there was no longer any money available for repairs. When the main water supply broke in 1991, the small hall and all other bathing facilities had to be closed. The small hall was then misused as a warehouse. In 2016, the Berlin Senate took a decision that brought the revitalisation of the baths a big step closer: the complex remains property of the state of Berlin. Since then, the Berlin Real Estate Management Administration (BIM) has been working on behalf of the city to find ways to reutilise the site. Due to the high investment costs and the inefficiency of the operation of the pools, it is no longer planned to resume bathing activities. The Lichtenberg Municipal Baths are therefore to become both a venue for events and a meeting centre in the neighbourhood. In order to achieve this goal in the long term, a two-stage plan was adopted and further developed with the participation of the public in a concretisation and planning workshop:
In the first construction phase, which was completed at the beginning of 2022, several tonnes of rubble were removed from the building and electrical connections and sanitary facilities were restored in the left-hand (eastern) part of the building. A wooden floor was laid over the pool of the former women's swimming pool, which has been used for exhibitions and other events since 2022. Up to 200 people can be seated on this parquet floor. Temporary events take place here, like the one we visited. It is called ‘Municipal Baths Reloaded’ and takes guests on an exciting tour of the building, which comes back to life with impressive light installations and over 157 digital artworks in every corner.

Almost midnight. After a few hours of walking the capital, yet more steps awaited. Huffing and puffing enough to scare away the local wildlife, we made it up to Calton Hill.
A windy, cold and occasionally wet evening meant that only us and a couple of other people were up on the hill. Without a torch, it was difficult to see, even with the local light pollution. This made me slightly nervous. I wouldn't walk through my local town park at night because of the crime... yet here I was in a capital city doing just that. Gulp.
This view is one I have shot before, but it is significant in that 24 hours earlier the whole area was covered in snow. All of Texas was affected, in fact; and, many people are still suffering from the after-effects of an unusually strong winter storm last week. With temperatures around 12ºC on Saturday, snow still on the ground, the disc golf course was bustling with people who needed to get out, myself included.

It seems the only archive images I have are fences, so here's another and then another coming your way tomorrow! I haven't been shooting in the daylight recently as I'm working or the weather is gloomy and gray. Now that I'm a Flickr addict, I feel a strong pull to post something other than my SP's each day. It's my connection to the world and it feels so good!!
Happy Thursday my dear friends!!

The heavy rains at the western ghats region had brought in heavy flow of water in almost all the falls in this region. All dams had attained its maximum storage capacity.It is just awesome to visit places near this area ..
I was overcome with joy after first hearing whistling bird calls and then noticing a huge flock of cedar waxwings flying from a juniper tree to another!
They were having a feast, plucking berries like there's no tomorrow, throwing them into the air and finally swallowing those blue berries in whole.
