FZ: It's got everything but a bicycle in it.
The Oberbaum Bridge (German: Oberbaumbrücke) is a double-deck bridge crossing Berlin's River Spree, considered as one of the city's landmarks. It links the districts of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg, former boroughs that were divided by the Berlin Wall, and has become an important symbol of Berlin’s unity. [Wikipedia]

I love those farm houses with their benches out front - never can pass by without taking a photo. Doesn't it look inviting?

And thus ends the month of April. Kind of a boring month, really. It's like the backlash of the high from making front page. Ah well, I kinda like the simplicity of my pictures. That and I know who my true followers are :) You guys are wonderful, truly!
It was super windy today and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to use it. However, I'm not dressed in the best attire for showing off wind...but you can at least see it in my hair :-P
Actually the "spirit" me was a total accident. THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULDN'T DELETE ANY PICTURES ON YOUR CAMERA. I firmly believe that. When I took it I thought "crap I moved too soon" and look what happened...I ended up using it :-P
Yeah I know I got in front of brick again...but this campus is OBSESSED with brick. Every single building is made of it! That and there's no brick back in Ohio so I thought I might as well...
Overall not really happy with the picture. But it's better than yesterday's so I'll take that.
I'm feeling better now that I got some sleep. Yesterday was just crazy. Today I just have my IDS class and a math session at noon before my mom and grandma show up. Then the choir concert is tonight at 7:30 and I think mom's taking me and my friends out to eat after...even though it'll be like 9:00 :-P
TRF: My roommate slept here last night and the night before...this is super rare.
A vintage phone booth stands next to a single window on a red brick wall. The contrast between the old telephone booth and the sturdy brickwork creates a nostalgic, urban atmosphere.

Building of a former bowling, build in 1905. It was comprised a seat of the exclusive Bowling Club the "Kamm", established in 1885. Now there is a permanent exhibition concerning the history of Żyrardów.

"The BBC has whitewashed a genocide There is nothing subtle about this. Overt genocidal language. Not covered by the BBC either. Lies by omission are still lies. The BBC should have made clear what Israel’s leaders have explicitly said are their actual motives over and over again. They did not do so, and in doing, the BBC whitewashed a genocide." - substack.com/@owenjonesjourno/note/p-171451055?r=3qbxbp&a... ▪️▪️▪️ South Croxton, Swydd Caerlŷr/ Leicestershire

Thank you so much for your views, comments and faves! They are encouraging as I continue on my photographic journey.
I love visiting campus when I can as it is so photogenic. I look for new pictures of familiar structures such as the Chamberlain Clock Tower known affectionately as Old Joe.
Looking and shooting through the chain link fence. This house is in an area that is being revitalized so it may be renovated.
Originally built in the 1890s as a private residence, "Penleigh" is a very grand asymmetrical Victorian mansion situated in the finest section of the inner northern Melbourne suburb of Moonee Ponds. Today it serves as a campus for the girls of Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School.
Built of beautiful red bricks with stone detailing "Penleigh" has a wonderful return verandah and balcony adorned with elegant cast iron lacework. The mansion has bay windows both upstairs and down and restrained detailing around the undulating Mannerist style roofline. "Penleigh" also features a rather smart tower that nudges just above the remainder of the house.
Moonee Ponds, like its neighbouring boroughs of Ascot Vale and Essendon, was etablished in the late 1880s and early 1890s. However, unlike its neighbours, it was an area of affluence and therefore only had middle-class, upper middle-class and some very wealthy citizens. Built in the most affluent area of Moonee Ponds, this mansion would have suited a large, wealthy Victorian family of some importance and would have required a small retinue of servants to maintain.
Penleigh Ladies' College was originally established in 1871 as Dorset House, Mrs. Tulloch's School for Young Ladies. The school occupied several sites in the Moonee Ponds area. The school developed and expanded particularly under the guidance of the Limerock sisters. The school was re-named Penleigh Ladies' College during the First World War after it took up residence in "Penleigh". After the Second World War Penleigh was purchased from the Limerock sisters by the Presbyterian Church. In 1977, Penleigh Ladies' College and Essendon Grammar merged to form one large school over several sites across Essendon and Moonee Ponds.
Uspenski Cathedral is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Helsinki, Finland, and main cathedral of the Orthodox Church of Finland, dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos (the Virgin Mary). Its name comes from the Old Church Slavonic word uspenie, which denotes the Dormition. Designed by the Russian architect Aleksey Gornostayev (1808–1862). The cathedral was built after his death in 1862–1868.
The crypt chapel of the cathedral is named after the holy Alexander Hotovitzky, who served as vicar of the Orthodox parish of Helsinki 1914–1917.
The Cathedral is set upon a hillside on the Katajanokka peninsula overlooking the city. On the back of the cathedral, there is a plaque commemorating Russian Emperor Alexander II, who was the sovereign of the Grand Duchy of Finland during the cathedral's construction. Main cathedral of the Finnish Orthodox Church in the diocese of Helsinki, Uspenski Cathedral is claimed to be the largest orthodox church in Western Europe.

For Window Wednesdays
These windows are at the front of The Sun Hotel in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. I previously posted a photo of the window at the rear of the hotel (in comments). The Sun dates back to the 16th century when it was a coaching inn. The rear is part of an extension added later. HWW

Having parked in Luxulyan Valley's small car park, I walked the footpath along the river to reccy some Autumn compositions.
I walked a little further than I had done before - out of the woods, along a tree lined path with some long disused narrow gauge railway under foot in places. I'd guess these were a remnant of an industrial past along the river.
Along the path, I was taken by this tunnel. The diffused sunlight through a cloudy sky seemed to set off the red bricks against the greenery.
*Confession... I replaced the background through the tunnel with a shot I took earlier on the walk - as there was an unsightly roadworks sign bang in the middle of the foliage!
