Wishing all my Flickr friends a wonderful new year filled with love and peace, health and happiness.
The view across The meadows is similar to how it was fifty years ago when I lived and worked here for a while. The path across here lead to the station and openair swimming pool

SEPTEMBER 23, 2014
Dear Mother Nature ...
I know how very busy you are, but just a reminder, ... today, September 23, is the "First Day of Autumn" ...
Not sure if you are aware, but it is still OVER 90 degrees F here, and HAS BEEN, every single day for the PAST 4 WEEKS IN. A. ROW. !!! ... and this week appears to have MORE of the same on your "schedule" ... per that world wide webby thing that is so popular these days, so that we may monitor your activities.
Please check your records, and if there has been an error, we fully understand, and won't be holding any grudges ... but as soon as you can get to this matter, it would be GREATLY appreciated ... by so many!
Thanks so much,
Concerned Residents of SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.

Another in my now complete series of pretty, picture postcard shots of Newcastle. Normal service wil be resumed shortly with a black and white picture of the central motorway and a night time long exposure of a service station on the A1.
For now though, enjoy the magnificent Tyne Bridge and the buildings built beneath it.
6x4lives challenge for January. Postcard to wish all my good friends a very "Happy New Year". The photo is poor - the felt is not really grubby!
An officially released post card for Westfarms "A regional retail development, is designed to be the most complete marketplace of its kind in New England. Westfarms site spans the boundaries of three outstanding Connecticut communities: West Hartford, Farmington and New Britain." Color photo by Bill Forcht. Scanned and remastered by The Caldor Rainbow.
From a time when malls were plastered on post cards as vacation-like attractions, this is one of a few post cards sold for Westfarms, presumably in the mid-1970s.
Much to take in here from this concourse shot of the timeless Westfarms Mall, which is estimated to be taken around its opening in 1974. Almost everything you see here of the classic concourse is now gone: first to go was the fountain, stage and soon after the Information tower, which were removed around 2001. The terrazzo tiles, which are still apart of the mall today, were twice removed from the concourse. Next, were the seating pits and enclosures, which slowly disappeared throughout the 90's, then finally all the ramps, stairs and planters, which were the last to go in 2010. The staircase seen straight ahead still remains today.
The twin obelisk structures seen here were one of a dozen or so throughout the mall, designed by artist Wen-Ying Tsai. These were the only feature to be removed fairly early on. These lighted towers were mildly interactive and reactive to sounds via hanging microphones strewn about the mall. Guests would light the towers based on sounds emitted. Tsai's pillars of this community would go nearly forgotten today as they are somewhat forgotten but also not listed on his history of works.
The vacant wall on upper right is where Lord & Taylor and its wing would eventually develop in 1982, after leaving Bishop's Corner on the other end of town. Note on the lower level, one of the wall facade doors is open, revealing a wing that suggests there's more than just undeveloped area back there.
"The Craft Showcase" and "Worth's", two staple chain retailers of malls during this time, would become long-time tenant Abercrombie & Fitch and currently Louis-Vuitton. On the far left of the upper level is "Sights & Sounds".
"Thom McAn" was as ubiquitous as Kinney Shoes and lasted until the 90's right in that spot. As for "Susan Terry", "Brooks" both women's fashion and "Vanguard" shoes.
Lovely post card from around 1950 of Piccadilly Circus London with three London transport RT's along with an STL type bus.
Die Geister Spitzen, hat wohl noch nie jemand fotografiert :-D
Unterwegs mit den German Landscapers letztes Jahr im Juli, waren bestimmt fünf Stative neben mir.
Post card perfect on a fine Autumn day, Hutton-le-Hole is the village before the over-the-moor road up into Rosedale. The Ryedale Folk Museum is located here and is well worth a visit.
Please do not add me as a contact without commenting or faving my photos. A non commenting contact is not what I desire and will be deleted. If you add me as a contact please feel free to make any thoughtful comment you wish. Faving a photo will be considered a comment. Thanks for understanding, sharing thoughts and ideas is what I would like to get out of flickr.
As the Australian Open tennis final was on TV this morning I had lots of time to stitch - though I had to stop lots of times too, to watch!
I bring you the start of my "Post Card" series from my trip out west. No, I am not really making post cards, I am being VERY SARCASTIC with this title as this type of light was what I had for 11 days... 11 days without ANY clouds at sunrise or sunset! UGHH!!!
If you want to have a wonderful and sunny vacation just ask me to pick the dates for you as it seems the weeks I pick are ALWAYS sunny! I went to Yosemite in February and it was WARM & SUNNY, then I book this trip and it was HOT & SUNNY....*sigh*, and both trips were "penciled in" over a year out.
I did get a few nice shots, but nothing like I was hoping for...even for one day...whaaaaaaaa. ;-)
Now on a positive note, these mountains were NOTHING more than spectacular! Utah has moved up to the TOP of my "Places I want to retire".

A view of Copabacana, the most famous brazilian beach, from Leme.
Copacabana is a borough located in the southern zone of the city Rio de Janeiro, famous for its 4 km beach.
The district was originally called Sacopenapã until the mid-18th century. It was renamed after the construction of a chapel holding a replica of the Virgin of Copacabana, the patron saint of Bolivia. It was incorporated into the city on July 6, 1892.
Copacabana begins at Princesa Isabel Avenue and ends at Posto Seis (lifeguard watchtower Six) near the Forte de Copacabana (Fort Copacabana). Beyond Copacabana, there is the small Arpoador beach, followed by the famous borough of Ipanema.
According to Riotur, the Tourism Secretariat of Rio de Janeiro, there are 63 hotels and 10 hostels in Copacabana.
