Amsterdam's property taxes used to be based on the width of the frontage, so many houses were built tall, thin and deep. The area is very marshy, so there are no really tall buildings, not even modern office blocks, at least, not that I saw - maybe further inland. Subsidence over the centuries means that many buildings are now somewhat askew.
The canals are about 3m (10ft) deep. We were told that they contain 1m depth of mud, 1m of discarded bicycles and 1m of water.
No , not that one 'cos it is up over at Godrevy - this one is down south at The Lizard Point as far down south as you can get !!
The Lizard Lighthouse stands at Lizard Point, the most southerly point of mainland Britain.
It acts as a coastal mark and to indicate landfall, guiding shipping passing along the English Channel and warning them of the dangerous waters here.
The current lighthouse with its two towers was built in 1751 but there was a working light here as early as 1619. This early lighthouse was erected thanks to the generosity of Sir John Killigrew, who applied for a patent which was granted on the condition that the light would be extinguished in time of war so it did not help to guide enemy vessels.
Killigrew agreed and erected the lighthouse but while he was sufficiently wealthy to have it built, the cost of maintaining it proved too much and almost bankrupted him. He had hoped that the vessels who benefited from the light would contribute towards its upkeep but unfortunately this did not happen. James I ordered that all ships who passed the light should pay a halfpenny per ton. Pressure from the unhappy ship owners who disagreed with this tax on them forced the patent to be revoked so the light was extinguished and the tower was subsequently demolished.
Although requests were made, it was not until 1748 that Thomas Fonnereau was given the go ahead by Trinity House to construct a new lighthouse. Completed in 1751 it is the building you see today with its two towers linked by a cottage in which one of the keepers would sit keeping an eye on both lanterns. If the fires became low he would sound a cow horn to let the others know it was time to stoke up the fires with the bellows.
In 1771, Trinity House took over the running of the Lizard lighthouse.
From 1903 onwards only the east tower was lit.
Automation came to the lantern in 1998 so the lighthouse keepers were no longer required.
The lantern has been removed from the western tower.
Lighthouse Cottages
The former lighthouse keepers' cottages are available to rent as holiday cottages.

Please note the lighthouse itself is a working lighthouse and cannot be rented.

Taxing in after arriving at Amsterdam's Schiphol Polderbaan runway is this Air Bridge Cargo Boeing 747-800F.
Maybe a faster shutter speed would've been more appropriate here. Oh well, learn from my mistakes, and if you like it, revel in my success. Ladies and germs, I give you MOAR Chi-town!
Onde é que a gente vai nesse vai e vem?
Onde é que tanta gente vai se ninguém vem?
De onde é que vem, senão do além?
Onde é que a gente vai parar assim meu bem?

TAXI
Where is it that we are going in that goes and does it come?
Where is it that so much people are leaving nobody comes?
Of where is that it comes, except of the beyond?
Where is it that we will stop like this my good?
Ever so slightly obsessed with the new HMRC building in Birmingham, a shot of it nearing completion now during last nights wander around the city in some beautiful blue hour light.
(And up.) The rusted state of this sign suggests that having your taxes done for $5 is only a historical artifact. But we can dream, can't we??
Camera: Agfa Silette (type 4) 35mm viewfinder camera with Vario 4-speed shutter (200, 50, 25, B). Color-Agnar 45mm lens, with f2.8 maximum aperture. This camera was a $6 find and required some work to get it operational, but it can produce some surprisingly crisp images (assuming I get the distance estimated correctly!)
Film: Kentmere 100
Developing: HC-110, Dilution H, 16 min.
