A macro shot of a Swarovski crystal rowing boat.
Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of 'Miniature'
I placed the boat on a windowsill with natural light coming from the right and placed a a sheet of transparent blue plastic behind to give the effect of water.
Common Mergansers are not very common in my area.
I consider myself lucky to have spotted this female Merganser on a small local lake.
The San Remo (in the center)
The San Remo (145 Central Park West) is a luxury, 27-floor, co-operative apartment building in Manhattan located between West 74th Street and West 75th Street, one block north of The Dakota (where John Lennon resided before his death). Opened in 1930, the San Remo is described by Glen Justice of the New York Times as "a dazzling two-tower building with captivating views of Central Park.
The rich & famous residents here include Tiger Woods, Steven Spielberg, Donna Karan, Tony Randall, Demi Moore, Glenn Close, Dustin Hoffman, Steve Martin, Bruce Willis, Bono (U2), to name a few......In 1985, Madonna applied to buy an apartment in the building but was infamously rejected by the residents board.
This scene from the canal at Korenlei in Ghent captures the essence of the city's medieval charm. The bridge in the foreground elegantly frames the waterway, while the Gravensteen Castle rises proudly in the background, a reminder of Ghent's medieval power and its role as a political and economic center in Flanders. The canal itself, once vital for trade and transport, remains a central artery of the city, now carrying leisure boats and kayaks rather than merchant vessels.
The architecture along the Korenlei showcases the ornate gabled facades typical of the Flemish Renaissance style. These former guild houses reflect the prosperity of Ghent's merchants and craftsmen during the Middle Ages, with each facade designed to impress and assert status. The combination of brickwork, stone details, and decorative elements illustrates the city's layered history, blending Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque influences within a compact urban space.
Tourism thrives in this area, as visitors are drawn to the picturesque setting and the lively atmosphere of the canal. Boat tours depart from this quay, offering views of Ghent's skyline from the water, while the bridge serves as a perfect vantage point for photography. The mix of historic monuments, waterways, and vibrant street life makes Korenlei one of the city's most photographed and walked-through places, both by day and illuminated at night.
Gastronomy is also deeply tied to this part of Ghent. The terraces along the canal host cafés and restaurants where visitors can enjoy local specialties such as waterzooi, a creamy fish or chicken stew originating from Ghent to indulge in Belgian beers brewed with centuries-old traditions. The combination of fine dining and casual street food adds flavor to the experience, making Korenlei not only a visual feast but also a culinary one.

I was on a walking bridge across the Milwaukee river and this man was rowing underneath it. It was the perfect spot to get these birdseye style photos.
