Paul-Löbe-Haus
"Band des Bundes", Berlin
"Die ursprüngliche Idee für das Band des Bundes ist eine verbindende Geste. In einer doppelten Symbolik schlagen Regierungsbauten und die Gebäude für die demokratisch gewählten Abgeordneten eine Verbindung und symbolische Brücke zwischen Ost und West. Die Demokratie ist Bauherr. Dem 1995 begonnenen Bau geht die größte bis dahin dagewesene weltweite Projektausschreibung für öffentliche Bauten voran: 835 Architekten bewerben sich um die Aufträge. Es geht darum Deutschlands neue Regierungszentrale wie auch die Büros für die Abgeordneten des Parlaments zu entwerfen.
Den Zuschlag für die Neugestaltung des Spreebogens erhalten die Architekten Axel Schultes und Charlotte Frank. Paul-Löbe-Haus und Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus konzipiert der Architekt Stefan Braunfels. Verworfen werden die ursprünglich geplante Platzanlage Bürgerforum mit Cafés und Geschäften und zunächst die Verlängerung in Richtung Bahnhof Friedrichstraße. (...) Das Paul-Löbe-Haus ist benannt nach dem Reichstagspräsidenten und Alterspräsidenten des ersten Deutschen Bundestags. Es beherbergt die Büros von Abgeordneten, Sitzungssäle und die zentrale Besucherbetreuung. Besonders prägnant ist die Glasfassade an der Westseite. Eine Brücke für schwindelfreie Abgeordnete über und ein Tunnel unter der Spree verbinden das Gebäude mit dem Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus." visitberlin.de

Thanks so much everyone for your visit and support.
While barns used to dominate farm sites throughout the countryside, they had a whole supporting cast of other buildings. Sometimes they were small while other times there were quite large buildings that sheltered hogs, sheep or cattle. Hard to tell what this intriguing building was but I suspect at least at one time it held chickens. On our farm, you could put chickens almost anywhere and they would be happy.
Ein Holzzaun als Rankhilfe für eine rote Kletterrose. Zäune sind für mich oft Barrieren, die mich aussperren, aber hier erfüllt der Zaun einen guten Zweck.
Ich widme dieses Foto dem besten Zaunfotografen, den ich kenne und meinem längsten Unterstützer hier bei Flickr. flic.kr/ps/cdiXr
A wooden fence as a climbing support for a red climbing rose. For me, fences are often barriers that lock me out, but here the fence serves a good purpose.
I dedicate this photo to the best fence photographer I know and my longest supporter here at Flickr.

Batala played in support of St. John’s Hospice at their Cross Bay Walk on 17 August 2025 across Morecambe Bay. They helped to get the day off to a rousing start and drummed the 500 walkers off (including me) as they set off across the bay, led by the King’s Guide to the Sands. Best expanded to see the details.
St. John’s Hospice is Batala's charity for this year, as chosen by their members.
Batala Lancaster is Lancaster’s original samba-reggae drumming band, established in 2004. They are part of the Batala Mundo family of bands, which comprises 45 sister bands in 17 countries, with over 2,000 members. All Batala bands play a form of Samba Drum music originating in Salvador, Bahia, in northeastern Brazil.
Batala was formed as the European wing of Cortejo Afro (a style of Brazilian Samba) by Giba Gonçalves in Paris in 1997.
Giba is the maestro of the Batala sound, which he composed in the style of his hometown, Salvador, in Brazil. The music has its roots in African traditional music, which found its way to Brazil and has been incorporated into Brazilian culture since.
Using this influence, Giba formed a 60-piece drumming band called Batala and encouraged anyone interested in his music to create their own Batala group under his name. There are now 46 Batala groups in 17 countries worldwide, with 9 located in the UK.
Batala Lancaster was the third UK Batala band, formed in 2004 after Batala Portsmouth and Batala Bangor. In 2019 and in 2024, they celebrated their 20th Anniversary.
Their international community of over 2,000 drummers all play the same Batala rhythms composed by Giba. He teaches the same music to all of his bands around the world, allowing them to perform in unison at huge global events where he leads the band. It’s loud, intricate, and intense, but it’s also very accessible and fun to play.
Batala Mundo won Best Brazilian Band for the last three years running at Notting Hill Carnival, the largest carnival event in Europe.
Amazing crowd and supporters came to have fun and support favorites in regional drifting competition.
One of my favourite places to be in Brighton is on the beach under the pier. A couple of months ago I was standing there, camera in hand, and couldn't figure out at first what was 'wrong'. Then I suddenly realised that all of the rope and net, which washes in on the tide and wraps itself around the supports under the pier, had disappeared along with the barnacles. I was heartbroken to see everything looking so sterile. I needn't have worried. How quickly it all comes back! I guess it has to be cleared from time to time, but I was very happy to recognise the view that I love again. :))

Nearly stalling, G&E Shifter R202 crawls across the timber supports of the WV Hwy 20 girder bridge at walking speed, fighting the steep 2.2% grade from Peaser Jct to Quinwood Tunnel.
The seasoned C&O crew sure put this pair of “lightning bolts” through their paces getting their second cut of 28 loads from Green Valley up the mountain on the rusted, worn out jointed rail of the former Hominy Creek sub of the NF&G. What a show!
The twisty topped plant support would normally have sweet peas all over it by now but due to lockdown it's empty this year.
HBW!

WWT Slimbridge.
The Glossy Ibis has become more familiar to birdwatchers following a series of mass arrivals in the 2000s. Increasing numbers of reports since then mirror an increase in the breeding population located in the south-west of Europe. There have been a number of breeding attempts here in the UK. It is likely that more regular breeding will be a feature in the future.
Climate change is thought to have supported the growth in visiting Glossy Ibis to Britain, with milder winters aiding their survival and enabling individuals to attempt breeding attempts the following year. (BTO).
Not as large as I thought it might be. About the size of a Curlew (which surprised me). This Glossy Ibis was in a field north of the entrance road into WWT Slimbridge. Not actually in the main reserve. I believe this is a juvenile bird, it didn’t seem to mind people at all.
By the time I got to it, the sun was already much higher in the sky than I would normally like and there was already a small crowd of people, birders and others watching it. It has been hanging around WWT Slimbridge for a few days now.
My thanks to anyone who views, faves or comments on any of my photos. It is much appreciated.
This tiny little Blue Tit matching the flag of Ukraine.. he has something that our World "leaders" don't have... a spine.
Never give in to crooks and bullies.
Thunbergia battiscombei is a weak-stemmed, perennial shrub rather than a climbing vine. To grow upright, it must be tied to a support or have taller plants to lean on for support. Blue Glory has bright green heart-shaped leaves, fuzzy greenish-white buds, and dark blue to purple trumpet-shaped flowers.
