...........................................................
St. Anthony is known as a marriage saint, because legend has him as one who conciliated couples. His feast day, June 13, is Lisbon's municipal holiday, celebrated with parades and marriages of humble couples.
It is a popular costum to make St. Anthony Thrones (shown in the image up) and put them on entrance doors outside during the night of his holiday and persons passing by left some coins to his feets and making a wish for each coin. It is said that he always give an answer to this prayers. In old quarters of Lisbon you can find lots of these Thrones of St. Anthony during the month of June, every year and since ancient times..

Commentary.
Whitby is a popular seaside town on the Yorkshire Coast at the mouth of the River Esk.
As far back as the Middle Ages it had an established Herring and Whale fleet.
It is renowned as the town in which Captain Cook learned seamanship and where his exploration ship HMS Endeavour was built.
James Cook made three epic voyages to the western Pacific between 1768 and 1779, becoming, it is believed, the first European to chart the east coast of Australia and much of New Zealand.
Settlement in Whitby dates back to 656 A.D.
The first Monastery was destroyed during Viking raids in the 9th. Century.
The present Abbey ruins stand high on Whitby’s East Cliff as an unmissable landmark.
Its demise, like so many others, came as a result of
King Henry V111’s Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th. Century.
Whitby’s fishing fleets still exist but have declined in recent centuries.
The Whaling fleet has gone because of moral and ecological reasons.
The status quo came to see it as cruel and unnecessary.
Shipbuilding too, has greatly diminished, but boats do still cross the North Sea, trading with Scandinavia.
As with so many seaside locations around the British coast,
tourism began to grow following the coming of the railway in 1839.
Similarly to places like Royal Tunbridge Wells, Leamington Spa and Harrogate, the discovery of Chalybeate springs in the town encouraged wealthier families to benefit from the medicinal waters.
If it was good enough for Royalty, it was good enough for them.
Now, the town is a very popular holiday resort for day-trips, week-ends and longer holidays.
It could be seen as a good base to visit many valued locations in North and East Yorkshire.
However, the North York Moors to the west of the town
can be seen as a major physical barrier to getting there.
Thus, the local roads infrastructure needs developing, and this
can make the town feel remote and a tad inaccessible.
However, my visit this time, being in late evening, was well rewarded with a splendid sunset.
Less ambitious and mystical than Lang’s previous sci-fi film “Metropolis,” “Woman in the Moon” combines an imaginative adventure yarn, a triangular love story and a conspiracy thriller. Helius, a German entrepreneur, plans a journey to the moon to fulfil the dreams of the elderly, demented scientist Professor Manfeldt, but he’s blackmailed by Turner, a ruthless American conman, into collaborating with a cabal of rich businessmen bent on controlling the gold that Manfeldt believes is to be found on the moon. He’s also compelled to take on to the spacecraft his close associate, Windegger, and Friede, the modern liberated woman both men love. Like “Metropolis” and most of Lang’s other pictures, “Woman in the Moon” was written by his wife Thea von Harbou.

In recent years the Volkswagen Passat has gained much more of an image but before the 1996 revamp it was considered by most to be a typical efficient, but bland offering from this European manufacturer. This example of the increasingly rare B3 variant of the Passat is seen here in a disabled parking space in a Bedfordshire town - the vehicle passed me at a roundabout and I followed in order to get this shot! New on 1st August 1993, this Passat had close to 150,000 miles on it at it's last MOT, but has been averaging around 5-10,000 miles over the past few years. It is certainly a rare survivor.

Train Street is a popular tourist attraction in Hanoi, with a train track running through a narrow residential street in the Old Quarter.
Buildings are incredibly close to the tracks, and locals live their daily lives alongside the trains that pass through on a regular schedule.
The railway was built during the French colonial era in 1902 and still connects Hanoi to other parts of Vietnam.
Many cafes along the street offer a great (and very close) view of the train. By the way, the train does NOT slow down as it proceeds through the street - as some tourists have discovered the hard way!
