The Shanghai International Conference Center (上海国际会议中心) with its distinctive dual spheres as seen form the other side of the Huangpu River.
The structure below the left sphere is the Pudong side river cruise boat terminal, the red writing reads 东方明珠游船码头 and means "Dongfangmingzhu Cruise Boat Pier", with "Dongfangmingzhu" being the Chinese short name of the "Pearl of the Orient TV Tower" nearby.
And sorry, due to flickr's inability to properly save local language tags since late Sept. 2022 and no fix in sight (no UTF-8 support in tags, it appears only characters from the stone-age "Code Page 437" work correctly), the tags are incomplete.

An after midnight panorama taken at a (at daytime) rather busy intersection of 5 roads:
淮海中路 Huaihai Middle Road
武康路 Wukang Road
兴国路 Xingguo Road
余庆路 Yuqing Road
天平路 Tianping Road
This is from the end of Wukang Road, corner to Xingguo Road, horizontal field of view is about 180°. Located at the border of Changning District (长宁区) and Xuhui District (徐汇区).
The building in the center is a famous apartment block in the former French Concession, at colonial times named "Normandie Apartments", nowadays it is mainly known as 武康大楼 "Wukang Mansion" resp. "Wukang Building" - Shanghai's "Flatiron".

The "Nanshi Qu" assigned by flickr as location name is also wrong, a long standing issue with flickr's trashy location database.

Declarada Conjunto Monumental en 1951, la villa de Pedraza cuenta con una de las plazas mayores más bellas de Castilla y León.
Sus empedradas calles y sus casas blasonadas componen un conjunto urbano medieval, en el que es imprescindible recorrer todos sus rincones, desde la Puerta de la Villa hasta el otro extremo de la población, coronado por el castillo, en cuyo torreón, actualmente museo, el pintor Zuloaga tuvo un estudio. También de interés son la cárcel medieval y la iglesia de San Juan.

Am I inside
Loneliness it shadows me, quicker than darkness
Crawls to the surface of my skin, visibly surrounded by it
Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
Surrounded by empty souls, artificial courage used
And because so, once was mine
I walk this maze alone
Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
The man's beside himself, man's below himself
Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself
Chaos and hate shadow me, pain it fills me up
Only one thing makes me feel, missing better half of me
Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
The man's beside himself, man's below himself
Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself
Chaos and hate shadow me, hate it fills me up
Only one thing makes me feel, missing better half of me
Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
The man's beside himself, man's below himself
Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself

As my brother was riding me through the woods late in the evening, these 3 deer appeared on a hill to watch us. It was the last light of day. It reminded me of the song Twilight Time by the Platters:

Smile on Saturday#Title wanted
I really didn’t know which title would fit this scene.
HSoS!
All the suggested titles were very good but I opted for the title "Dippity Do Dah Dippity Day!" which was suggested by Joan, because the song reminds me of my merry sparrows.
I thank everyone who gave their suggestion.

Ancora uno scalino verso la salita oggi sono 45 ad evitare equivoci : ))
Oggi salirò un'altro gradino... ma a quanto pare se ne sale uno ogni anno :-))... sarà vero??? :-))
Spesso penso che il percorso della Vita, sia come una Piramide piena di gradini da scalare e immagino la vetta superiore come una sorta di metà strada …..... una scala da 0 a 100....ma 50 a salire e 50 a scendere …....ecco io sto raggiungendo i primi 50 scalini, bhè felice di essere giunto fin qua, spero che ognuno di noi possa fare il tutti gli scalini Sempre in salute e serenità !!!
Adesso voglio godermi la vostra presenza e vi ringrazio uno a uno per la vostra Amicizia e Simpatia !!
Please no invitations and no multi invitations! Grazie !!

If we hate someone, we hate something in his image, which sits in ourselves. What is not in ourselves, this excited us not.
Wenn wir einen Menschen hassen, so hassen wir in seinem Bild etwas, was in uns selber sitzt. Was nicht in uns selber ist, das regt uns nicht auf.

The psychoanalyst Erich Fromm distinguishes between two types of hate:
Reactive Hate
It is always the result of a deep injury or a painful situation, it is powerless against, because they can not change on their own. Erich Fromm writes: "In reactive hate I mean a response that due to an attack on my life, my safety, my ideals, or to another person, whom I love and with whom I am identified.
Reactive hatred always presupposes that someone has a positive outlook on life to other people and ideals. Who is strong life-affirming, will react accordingly if his life is threatened."

FIRST THEY CAME – BY PASTOR MARTIN NIEMÖLLER
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

...which I copied/painted in homage to Winslow Homer ...
an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects. He is considered one of the foremost painters in 19th-century America and a preeminent figure in American art. Largely self-taught, Homer began his career working as a commercial illustrator. Wiki.

A PAZ
A paz invadiu o meu coração
De repente, me encheu de paz
Como se o vento de um tufão
Arrancasse meus pés do chão
Onde eu já não me enterro mais
A paz fez um mar da revolução invadir meu destino;
A paz
Como aquela grande explosão
Uma bomba sobre o Japão
Fez nascer o Japão da paz
Eu pensei em mim
Eu pensei em ti
Eu chorei por nós
Que contradição
Só a guerra faz
Nosso amor em paz
Eu vim
Vim parar na beira do cais
Onde a estrada chegou ao fim
Onde o fim da tarde é lilás
Onde o mar arrebenta em mim
O lamento de tantos "ais".
It is clear that the summer of 2014 is slipping away. We're getting cold nights and cool, damp days. The fawns are losing their spots and a black bear recently showed up at the feeders. Yikes! But, according to the calendar, it's still summer. I, for one, intend to drink it in, right down to the dregs.
P.S. I'm hoping someone will help me identify this flower. It was planted here before I moved in and I have no idea what it is.
P.S. 2 -Thanks to all who tried to help me identify this plant. I have been able to find the plant tag that was left here by the previous owner. The flower is Ligularia dentata Desdemona, a variety of Ragwort. Click this link to see photos of the whole plant.

Hello Everyone,
Believe it or not, these are both Painted Ladies. The one the left is showing off its inner wings and the one on the right, shows the outer wing. What a difference!
When I saw this photo, I immediately thought of an old "feel good" song by The Turtles called, "So Happy Together." Here's a link if you'd like to hear it:

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I do love hearing from you!
Have a marvelous day!
