Osaka's Sumiyoshi Taisha (住吉大社, "Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine") is one of Japan's oldest shrines. Founded in the 3rd century before the introduction of Buddhism, it displays a unique style of shrine architecture, called Sumiyoshi-zukuri, that is free of influence from the Asian mainland. Only two other shrine architecture styles are also considered purely Japanese: Shinmei-zukuri as seen at the Ise Shrines and Taisha-zukuri as seen at Izumo Taisha.
The Sticky Beaks Café and Pizzeria has gone for the retro look. In The Road to Longford slideshow you'll see they have a passion for old VW Kombi vans. But I love their retro styling, as shown in this picture. Although this table had been vacated, they were doing good business this day as the Australian Jazz Convention was in town.
Eine Kuh zwischen zwei Bäumen. Das ganze mit Teiltonung aufgepeppt. Also ein bisschen mehr Post Processing als sonst :)
Going to San Francisco. Replica of an old Toyota land cruiser on a map of California. Natural light from the window behind the scene. And yeah, the color process is from the awesome NIK Software plugin, it’s the bleach bypass. And good news, this plugin is now free.

The rainy season brings a unique beauty to nature, transforming the landscape into a lush, vibrant canvas. The earth drinks deeply from the heavens, and everywhere you look, life seems to spring anew. The air is cool and filled with the fresh scent of wet earth and blooming flowers. Raindrops dance on leaves, creating a soothing rhythm that fills the air. Rivers swell and flow with renewed vigor, while mist rises from the ground, wrapping the world in a gentle, mysterious embrace. It's a time of renewal and growth, where the colors of nature are at their richest, and the world feels alive with possibility
A lone angler fishing from the rocks near the outflow from Torness Nuclear Power Station, Dunbar, Scotland - some say the Sea Bass run extra big there; some also say fish there glow in the dark...but maybe that's an old fisherman's tale!

GUIMARÃES (Portugal): Centro Ciência Viva de Guimarães.
O Centro Ciência Viva de Guimarães – Curtir Ciência (uma alusão direta à tradição dos curtumes) ocupa o espaço da antiga Fábrica Âncora, em frente à Loja dos Registos, na Zona de Couros. Inaugurado a 17 de dezembro de 2015, o equipamento conta com uma exposição permanente com cerca de duas dezenas de módulos de sete áreas do conhecimento.
Edifício com história devolvido às pessoas
A antiga Fábrica Âncora apresenta-se como um ícone da tipologia construtiva de Couros, sendo um edifício de referência. Em 1269, foi constituída em Guimarães a Confraria de Sapataris, que terá estado na origem, em 1315, da Irmandade de S. Crispim e S. Crispiniano, fundada pelos mestres sapateiros João Baião e Pero Baião, que dotaram logo a instituição de uma fonte de rendimento ao legarem uma poça de curtumes na Rua de Couros, com sete pias de pedra.
A zona foi densamente povoada, tendo outrora faltado muitas vezes casas para as famílias operárias. A importância que então ostentava a atividade dos curtumes persiste ainda hoje em manifestações culturais vimaranenses. É o caso da Peregrinação Anual à Penha, uma das maiores celebrações religiosas do concelho que teve origem numa iniciativa de curtidores e surradores.
