Gothenburg is the second-largest city in Sweden. It is situated by Kattegatt on the west coast of Sweden, and has a population of approximately 570,000.
Gothenburg was founded as a heavily fortified, primarily Dutch, trading colony in 1621. In addition to the generous privileges (e.g. tax relaxation) given to his Dutch allies from the then-ongoing Thirty Years`War, the king also attracted significant numbers of his German and Scottish allies to populate his only town on the western coast. At a key strategic location at the mouth of the river Göta älv, where Scandinavia's largest drainage basin enters the sea, the Port of Gothenburg is now the largest port in the Nordic countries
Gothenburg is home to many students, as the city includes the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. Volvo was founded in Gothenburg in 1927. Other key companies are SKF and Astra Zeneca.
... is what was to be seen at Knottingley in South Yorkshire until March 2015 before punative taxes applied to coal burning power stations came into force.
The power stations of Eggborough and Drax a few miles to the east ensured multiple loaded coal trains per hour ran through Knottingley.
Here 56102, exhibiting tatty ‘Large Logo’ livery passes through knottingley station with a train for either Drax or Eggborough.
I'm bowled over by the beauty of our planet on a constant basis. And I'm horrified just as frequently by the devastation we wreak on it in the pointless pursuit of money.
Anyhow, let's enjoy it while we can. This is Ashridge Estate forest, looking glorious at the weekend in the winter sun.

Mount Olympus keeps occupied with his glaciers, snow, trails, etc., but, he felt he could do more, so, he got a side job. He now counts cars on Hwy 16 for the government. It's an important function. The government is trying to figure out if they can make more money by removing the gasoline tax and tax drivers per mile driven.

Wild plants, clouds and a boat made this photo look more cute. The name of little island is Maman. I play with rhyme in my title: Otočić Maman je taman da zadovolji vaše apetite bez da uđete u nove kredite / Little island Maman is enough to satisfy your apetite without taking expensive credit for your holiday.
Sad thing is that people need to take big credit for a simple holiday. I think every human have right for normal holiday, every natural park should be free or at least some symbolic price, drinking water also should be free or very cheap. Will they tomorrow charge us tax for breating air ???
Maman je nenaseljeni otočić u hrvatskom dijelu Jadranskog mora. Njegova površina iznosi 0,136 km². Dužina obalne crte iznosi 2,14 km.

There was a time in Wales when homes and buildings were taxed by the number of windows they had.
If you look closely, you can see that three of the windows were bricked-in and painted over to look like a window, but not actually be one, and so lessen the tax burden :-)
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.
Ever seen a whole butchered pig riding a bike?
Taken during an early morning shoot around the Hoan Kiem Lake. The area around the lake is a parallel universe. It's wonderful to observe how it comes to life from the crack of dawn. Of course, it's also great fun following two-wheelers and taking panning shots in Hanoi.

The Calling of Saint Matthew is an oil painting by Caravaggio that depicts the moment Jesus Christ calls on the tax collector Matthew to follow him. It was completed in 1599–1600 for the Contarelli Chapel in the church of the French congregation, San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome, where it remains. It hangs alongside two other paintings of Matthew by Caravaggio, The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew (painted around the same time as the Calling) and The Inspiration of Saint Matthew (1602).
More than a decade earlier, Cardinal Matthieu Cointerel (in Italian, Matteo Contarelli) had left funds and specific instructions in his will for the decoration of a chapel based on themes related to his namesake, Saint Matthew. The dome of the chapel was decorated with frescoes by the late Mannerist artist Giuseppe Cesari, Caravaggio's former employer and one of the most popular painters in Rome at the time. But as Cesari became busy with royal and papal patronage, Cardinal Francesco Del Monte, Caravaggio's patron and also the prefect of the Fabbrica of St Peter's (the Vatican office for Church property), intervened to obtain for Caravaggio his first major church commission and his first painting with more than a handful of figures.
Caravaggio's Calling of Saint Matthew hangs opposite The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew. While the Martyrdom was probably the first to be started, the Calling was, by report, the first to be completed.[citation needed] The commission for these two lateral paintings — the Calling and the Martyrdom — is dated July 1599, and final payment was made in July 1600. Between the two, at the altar, is The Inspiration of Saint Matthew (1602).
The painting depicts the story from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 9:9): "Jesus saw a man named Matthew at his seat in the custom house, and said to him, "Follow me", and Matthew rose and followed Him." Caravaggio depicts Matthew the tax collector sitting at a table with four other men. Jesus Christ and Saint Peter have entered the room, and Jesus is pointing at Matthew. A beam of light illuminates the faces of the men at the table who are looking at Jesus Christ. This is a depiction of a moment of spiritual awakening and conversion, which was something many Baroque artists were interested in painting, especially Caravaggio.
There is some debate over which man in the picture is Saint Matthew, as the surprised gesture of the bearded man at the table can be read in two ways.
Most writers on the Calling assume Saint Matthew to be the bearded man, and see him to be pointing at himself, as if to ask "Me?" in response to Christ's summons. This theory is strengthened when one takes into consideration the other two works in this series, The Inspiration of Saint Matthew, and The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew. The bearded man who models as Saint Matthew appears in all three works, with him unequivocally playing the role of Saint Matthew in both the "Inspiration" and the "Martyrdom".
A more recent interpretation proposes that the bearded man is in fact pointing at the young man at the end of the table, whose head is slumped. In this reading, the bearded man is asking "Him?" in response to Christ's summons, and the painting is depicting the moment immediately before a young Matthew raises his head to see Christ. Other writers describe the painting as deliberately ambiguous.
Some scholars speculate that Jesus is portrayed as the Last Adam or Second Adam as titled in the New Testament. This is displayed in Christ's hand as it reaches out towards Matthew. It is almost a mirrored image of Adam's hand in The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo, the namesake of Caravaggio. Twice in the New Testament, an explicit comparison is made between Jesus and Adam. In Romans 5:12–21, Paul argues that "just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous" (Romans 5:19, NIV). In 1 Corinthians 15:22, Paul argues that "as in Adam all die, so in Christ, all will be made alive," while in verse 45 he calls Jesus the "last/ultimate/final Adam".
