The wall encircling Lucca was constructed during the Renaissance period from the early 16th to the 17th century and remains completely intact today.
The circle of walls(4 kilometers around the old city) is considered one of Europe's greatest examples of modern defense.
No longer needed for defensive purposes, in the 19th century the area became an urban park and is widely used today for leisure and sports activities.

Detroit, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2024
The Renaissance Center (often shortened to RenCen) is a complex of seven interconnected skyscrapers in Downtown Detroit, Michigan, situated on the bank of the Detroit River.
Design and Purpose: Construction began in the mid-1970s, and it was conceived as an ambitious urban renewal project aimed at revitalizing Downtown Detroit. The cylindrical, reflective design was created to capture global attention.
Key Landmark: The tallest tower in the complex is the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, at 73 stories, which is the tallest building in Michigan and the tallest hotel skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere.
Current Function: The complex serves as the world headquarters for General Motors (GM). It also houses office space, restaurants, retail stores, and a hotel.
Significance: The RenCen is an urban landmark representing both the vision of a modern future for Detroit and its corporate legacy, visually dominating the city skyline.
Going out in style
VIA Nº29, the last westbound out of Quebec City's Gare du Palais leaves Daveluyville behind, pulling the last British built Metro-Cammell Renaissance equipment in use in the Corridor with two F40PH-2D's on the head-end.
Having roamed the Quebec City - Windsor corridor for 22 years, the last 7-car set was scheduled for retirement one week ago, but due to various mechanical issues with the new Siemens Venture trains, the REN was granted an extra week on the road. Polishing the rails between Ottawa and Quebec City at 95 miles per hour for 7 extra days.
Some might say good riddance, I for one will miss them.
Roads leading everywhere
Come with me now, and show how you care
Follow the dying embers
Cross on the paths they lay
Breath of the past, the earths yesterday

through the livestock fence popped the head of the goat, shot during the Renaissance festival at Castle of Muskogee. I know the movement is a bit off on focus but thought it was worth a share.

May has always been a month of Renaissance at the Castle in Muskogee, this year the plug was pulled and probably best since the rains keep coming on weekends. My favorite capture of Ruth as the Siren from the depths.

The Detroit River is the border between Canada and the United States. One side is the Canadian city of Windsor and on the other side is Detroit, also know as the ‘Motor City' (Motown). Windsor and Detroit share a lot and one thing the people on the Windsor side enjoy is the view of Detroit’s skyline. Prominent on that skyline is the Renaissance Centre the world headquarters of General Motors.
"Every renaissance comes to the world with a cry,
the cry of the human spirit to be free".
- Anne Sullivan Macy
"In essence the Renaissance was simply the green end
of one of civilization's hardest winters."
- John Fowles
