The Lonja is an emblematic building of the city and one of the most famous civil gothic monuments in Europe. It was declared a National Historic and Artistic Monument in July 1931 and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in December 1996.
The Lonja is located in the centre of the city - in front of the Central Market and the Temple of Santos Juanes - and occupies a rectangular area of 1.990 square metres. At the end of the 13th century, as a result of the prosperity in Valencia at the time, the old Lonja became insufficient and it was decided to build a new Exchange.
The first stone was laid in 1492, although the construction was started a year later. Pere Compte, a Valencian engineer and architect, was the principal figure involved in its construction. There are three clearly defined sections and a garden or “orange patio”. The Columnario or Sala de Contratación is divided into three longitudinal and five transversal naves with eight columns that support the domed ceiling. Its height of 17.40 meters gives the columns a special sense of size and proportion. The Taula de Canvis, set up in 1407, was located in this room by the municipal council and gained great prestige for its solvency and banking operations. The Taula or Table used for the transactions, as well as the first Bill of Exchange written in Spain are kept in the Valencia Municipal archive. The Torreón is the second section of the building while on the ground floor there is a small chapel dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. The two upper floors were used as a prison for those who reneged on their debts.
I have found my enjoyment of seeing a deer crossing the road in front of me is in direct inverse proportion to how fast I am driving.
SCOOP.
The two Veteran class 20's run around their rake and are seen passing over the crossing at Kellingley. A small proportion of the photographers cars can be seen together with a couple of the phottors including one chap with his thirty foot pole.

Greetings! Almost 2 years have passed since I moved away from flickr, giving priority to social networks and in the hope that the limit of 1000 photos imposed by flickr disappears, however it would be unfair for my followers who don't follow me on other platforms to leave here my gallery.
So I'm back with regular posts, I hope you like them.

07/06/2022, Port of Rotterdam's vessel traffic control center.
Koningin Emmaboulevard 9, Hoek van Holland, Netherlands.
The centre forms part of Rotterdam's VTS control (Vessel Traffic Management Service)
The Hoek van Holland traffic center supervises shipping in the sectors Maas Aanloop (VHF-1), Pilot Maas (VHF-2), Maasmond (VHF-3), Rozenburg (VHF-65), Europoort (VHF-66) and the ship -ship channel (VHF-10). The traffic centers themselves can be reached on VHF-11.
A very busy control centre, supervising a large proportion of the enormous port's vessel movements.
Its predecessor, at the same location, was formerly situated at the seaward end of the road 'Seinpad' (Sign path), until the creation of the Koningin Emmaboulevard, which is closer to the New Waterway, and incidentally, allows tourists and spectators to park adjacent to the river/waterway.
The name 'signpath' refers to the previous (pre-electronic radar and radio communications), when a large semaphore/sign structure stood in its place, to order, warn, and advise, incoming and outgoing ships of traffic conditions.

Birkenau was the largest of the more than 40 camps and sub-camps that made up the Auschwitz complex. During its three years of operation, it had a range of functions. When construction began in October 1941, it was supposed to be a camp for 125 thousand prisoners of war. It opened as a branch of Auschwitz in March 1942, and served at the same time as a center for the extermination of the Jews. In its final phase, from 1944, it also became a place where prisoners were concentrated before being transferred to labor in German industry in the depths of the Third Reich.
The majority—probably about 90%—of the victims of Auschwitz Concentration Camp died in Birkenau. This means approximately a million people. The majority, more than nine out of every ten, were Jews. A large proportion of the more than 70 thousand Poles who died or were killed in the Auschwitz complex perished in Birkenau. So did approximately 20 thousand Roma and Sinti, in addition to Soviet POWs and prisoners of other nationalities.
I think I may be the only one who has ever captured this California sunrise! I first captured it two years ago, and I have been waiting to see if anyone else has captured it since!
One of the keys to shooting Epic Landscape Photography is exalting the photograph's soul via golden ratio compositions, thusly wedding the photographic art to the divine proportion by which life itself was designed and exalted.

Greetings flickr friends! I am working on several books on "epic photography," and I recently finished a related one titled: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean . Message me on facebook for a free review copy!

The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo!
The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.
Ansel Adams is not only my favorite photographer, but he is one of the greatest photographers and artists of all time. And just like great artists including Michelangelo, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Leonardo da Vinci, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Botticelli, and Picasso, Ansel used the golden ratio and divine proportions in his epic art.
Not so long ago I discovered golden regions in many of his famous public domain his 8x10 aspect ratio photographs. I call these golden harmony regions "regions of golden action" or "ROGA"S, as seen here:

And too, I created some videos highlighting Ansel's use of the golden harmonies. Enjoy!

“If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself. If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself, or even less, in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct; and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight.”
Leonardo da Vinci
“This barrack (“the Death Barrack”) was used for the special isolation of those women prisoners of the concentration camp who were selected by the SS as unfit for further work to be sent to be murdered in the gas chambers. Here they had to await their deaths, without food or water, and often for several days. Many died in the barrack before they were summoned. When the barrack was full, additional prisoners who had been selected for death were kept outside in a locked yard.
Two types of barracks, brick and wooden, housed prisoners in Birkenau concentration camp. The brick buildings were erected in great haste, without suitable insulation, on marshy ground. More than 700 people were assigned to each barrack, although in practice the figure was sometimes higher. These barracks lacked any true heating; nor did they contain sanitary facilities.
Dampness, leaky roofs, and the fouling of straw and straw mattresses by prisoners suffering from diarrhea made difficult living conditions worse. The barracks swarmed with various sorts of vermin and rats. A constant shortage of water for washing, and the lack of suitable sanitary facilities, aggravated the situation.

With ships this sizes one loses all sense of proportion. It helps to keep in mind that those are forty-foot equivalent unit (FEU) containers. Each container is 40 feet (more than 12 metres) long and 8 feet (around 2.5 metres) wide and high.
That puts things into perspective, doesn't it? And Ever Golden can carry 10,000 FEU containers or 20,000 TEU containers.
The stack you can see is 59 metres wide and almost 18 metres tall, counted from the ship's deck.
Note that there is some issue with sharpness in this picture. That is because near the end of the roll the batteries were flat and had to be replaced. This had a detrimental effect on the metering and the autofocus. So if you wondered how many rolls of film can be shot with a load of eight AA batteries: The answer is sixteen. I always rewound the films manually, which may have saved some battery life.

Besullo, Asturias, España.
Besullo (en asturiano y oficialmente Bisuyu) es una parroquia del concejo de Cangas del Narcea, en el Principado de Asturias (España). Alberga una población de 204 habitantes (INE 2013) en 91 viviendas. Ocupa una extensión de 20,06 km².
Está situada en la zona noroeste del concejo, a 17 km de la capital, Cangas del Narcea, y en el límite con el concejo de Allande. Limita al norte con la parroquia del mismo nombre, en el concejo de Allande; al oeste, con la de Trones; al sur con la de Coto / Abanceña; y de nuevo al sur y al oeste, con la de Las Montañas; .
Del patrimonio de la parroquia de Besullo destacan:
Iglesia de San Martín: Cuenta con una nave única cubierta por una bóveda de cañón. En su retablo mayor aparecen imágenes de San Martín, San Juan Bautista, Niño Jesús y San José con el Niño. Existió en sus inmediaciones un monasterio medieval preexistente del siglo XI.
Capilla de Nuestra Señora de las Veigas: Reconstruida a principios del siglo XIX.
Destaca un castro "pésico" sin excavar en sus inmediaciones.
También es reseñable que durante el siglo XX hubo excavaciones o prospecciones geológicas en búsqueda de uranio, el cual fue encontrado en una proporción destacable. Asimismo se ha encontrado hierro en proporción abundante e importantes explotaciones auríferas de origen romano en la parroquia.
Durante el siglo XIX destaca el pueblo por tener dos confesiones religiosas, católicos y evangélicos protestantes, siendo una rareza en la comunidad autónoma asturiana. En este sentido fue sede de una de las primeras comunidades protestantes de Asturias (1871), cuyo origen se atribuye a los viajes que los "ferreiros" realizaban para vender sus productos. Esta congregación se reunía en Casa Xuacón, muy cerca de la iglesia parroquial, para la lectura e interpretación de la Biblia.
Es un pueblo que durante la Edad Moderna principalmente se dedicaba a la artesanía del hierro, existiendo varios "mazos" en la comarca y multitud de fraguas.
Fue declarado pueblo más bonito de Asturias, en época preautonómica. Y tiene uno de los mejores conjuntos de hórreos y paneras de Asturias, habiendo sido galardonado consecuentemente. Entre otras construcciones de interés, se conservan una panera con la talla de un reloj, realizada por Gabriel Yriarte en el siglo XIX.
Durante la segunda república existió un prestigioso "centro cultural y recreativo", que desapareció tras la guerra civil.
La población de Sanabuega (parroquia Besullo), es conocida por haber estado habitada por judíos en época medieval. Esta documentado por el lingüista Ldo. García Arias.
En la actualidad, quedan pocos viñedos (DO Tierra de Cangas) en la parroquia, contabilizándose menos de diez "viñas" en el lugar, destinadas al autoconsumo.
Besullo (in Asturian and officially Bisuyu) is a parish in the council of Cangas del Narcea, in the Principality of Asturias (Spain). It has a population of 204 inhabitants (INE 2013) in 91 dwellings, occupying an area of 20.06 km².
It is located in the northwest area of the council, 17 km from the capital, Cangas del Narcea, and on the border with the council of Allande. It limits the north with the parish of the same name, in the council of Allande; to the west, with that of Trones; to the south with that of Coto / Abanceña; and again to the south and west, with that of Las Montañas; .
Of the heritage of the parish of Besullo, the following stand out:
Church of San Martín: It has a single nave covered by a barrel vault. In its main altarpiece there are images of San Martín, San Juan Bautista, Niño Jesús and San José with the Child. A pre-existing medieval monastery from the 11th century existed in its vicinity.
Chapel of Nuestra Señora de las Veigas: Rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th century.
A "pésico" castro stands out without excavating in its surroundings.
It is also noteworthy that during the twentieth century there were geological excavations or prospects in search of uranium, which was found in a remarkable proportion. Likewise, iron has been found in abundant proportion and important gold mining of Roman origin in the parish.
During the 19th century, the town stands out for having two religious confessions, Catholics and Protestant Evangelicals, being a rarity in the Asturian autonomous community. In this sense, it was the seat of one of the first Protestant communities of Asturias (1871), whose origin is attributed to the trips that the "ferreiros" made to sell their products. This congregation met at Casa Xuacón, very close to the parish church, for the reading and interpretation of the Bible.
It is a town that during the Modern Age was mainly dedicated to iron crafts, with several "mazos" in the region and a multitude of forges.
It was declared the most beautiful town in Asturias, in pre-autonomous times. And it has one of the best sets of granaries and bread baskets in Asturias, having been awarded consequently. Among other buildings of interest, a bread basket with the carving of a clock, made by Gabriel Yriarte in the 19th century, has been preserved.
During the second republic there was a prestigious "cultural and recreational center", which disappeared after the civil war.
The town of Sanabuega (Besullo parish), is known to have been inhabited by Jews in medieval times. It is documented by the linguist Ldo. Garcia Arias.
At present, there are few vineyards (DO Tierra de Cangas) in the parish, counting less than ten "vineyards" in the place, destined for self-consumption.
Auschwitz II-Birkenau gatehouse; the train track, in operation May–October 1944, led directly to the gas chambers.
Birkenau was the largest of the more than 40 camps and sub-camps that made up the Auschwitz complex. During its three years of operation, it had a range of functions. When construction began in October 1941, it was supposed to be a camp for 125 thousand prisoners of war.

In its final phase, from 1944, it also became a place where prisoners were concentrated before being transferred to labor in German industry in the depths of the Third Reich.
The majority—probably about 90%—of the victims of Auschwitz Concentration Camp died in Birkenau. This means approximately a million people. The majority, more than nine out of every ten, were Jews. A large proportion of the more than 70 thousand Poles who died or were killed in the Auschwitz complex perished in Birkenau. So did approximately 20 thousand Roma and Sinti, in addition to Soviet POWs and prisoners of other nationalities.

Fun fact from Cornell Labs: some proportion of nests are tended by two-female couples, both fertilized with donor sperm from an obliging male.
When I travel in fantasy,
the mind finally free,
Begins exploring the space
among the multiverse
discovering passages and
and mysteries hidden to closed eyes
New fantastic worlds
Where everything seems possible
Where all is harmony
Known objects
Seem to have a dimension of their own
And coexist with the inverse of proportion
This is what my
Mind sees when I leave
Guidance to the imagination...
Expect to see a higher proportion of photographs taken from my immediate locality for the foreseeable future as people are encouraged to stay 'local' during the current Covid-19 lockdown.
This is Seaham, on the Durham Heritage Coast, just a couple of miles south from where I live and where I went on my daily exercise walk (taking my camera didn't seem to be an additional risk).
I spotted this couple, likewise out for a spot of exercise and being momentarily mesmerised by the waves rolling in from the North Sea as high tide approached.
14 years in this tiny condo, 26 stories above Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta. And the sunsets never fail to illuminate the proportional beauty of the skyline. I love the proportion of earth to sky... blue to orange... and lights to building silhouettes.

Steenbok ram enjoying the new growth. The Steenbok is a small “dwarf” antelope, with an average weight of around 12kgs and a shoulder height of a mere 45 – 60cms. They are a beautiful golden brown color, and have very distinctive, overly-large ears which look completely out of proportion to their petite heads. Only the males have horns, which are smooth, straight and very sharp.
