Regensburg, Germany
Regensburg, a Bavarian city on the Danube River in southeast Germany, is known for its well-preserved medieval core. The 12th-century Stone Bridge, a 310m-long icon with 16 arches, crosses the river to the old town. The 13th-century Regensburg Cathedral, a twin-spired Gothic landmark, is home to the Regensburger Domspatzen choir. Walhalla, a Parthenon replica just east of the city, honors illustrious Germans.
Regensburg (German pronunciation: [ˈʁeːɡŋ̍sbʊɐ̯k]; Latin: Castra-Regina; Polish: Ratyzbona; Czech: Řezno; French: Ratisbonne; older English: Ratisbon; Bavarian: Rengschburg or Rengschburch) is a city in south-east Germany, at the confluence of the Danube, Naab and Regen rivers. With nearly 150,000 inhabitants, Regensburg is the fourth-largest city in the State of Bavaria after Munich, Nuremberg and Augsburg. The city is the political, economic and cultural centre and capital of the Upper Palatinate.
The medieval centre of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 2014, Regensburg was among the top sights and travel attractions in Germany.
And I'm back to flickr-ing!
I've been on a bit of photo hiatus over the holidays and then some!
Got a new camera and will be shooting this week and posting soonish.
Cheers!
I was in the windy city this past week and spent some time on Michigan Avenue and Rush street. There is something about being in the Midwest at Christmas time that is sentimental having grown up in Michigan. I have such fond memories of Christmas time, the snow, the decorations. Being in Chicago this week brought it all back to the surface. I used to love having a big roaring fire in the fireplace and watching it snow outside. I don't miss shoveling the snow and being chilled to the bone!
If this piece of c**p deserves to be called "smart phone", clearly, this masterpiece of a hummus should be called Smart Hummus.

Intro here.
Desculpem a qualidade, eu nem tava sentada perto da janela, tinha minha mãe no meio e uma mulher na janela, fora que a iluminação não tava muito boa. Mas assistir ao nascer do sol de dentro do avião é esplêndido! Sem prédio e fios elétricos atrapalhando a visão, só muitas nuvens e um sol lindo aparecendo por cima delas.

Everything you ever wanted to know about this building and much, much more here
East window in the church of St Thomas Becket, Chapel en le Frith, Derbyshire. It shows the figure of Christ, flanked by St Michael with his sword and scales and St Gabriel with his lily emblem. It is in memory of Frances Alice Devereux Bagshawe of Ford Hall nearby.
The glass is by Powells of Whitefriars.
Based on the dream of St John the Divine, told in the Book of Revelation, this window, installed in the church of St Mary & St Nicolas, Spalding, Lincolnshire in 1951, is by Walter Percival Starmer of Bushey. It is in memory of Dr Thomas Driffill and his wife, Sarah and was given by their daughter, Rebecca Fletcher Driffill.
What do you know? It snowed after all. It's supposed to be rained/melted away by late morning tomorrow, and then there's a big rainstorm on the way. Joy. It's pretty right now, though.
The train was 2 hours late!This little girl was waiting by the window for the departure of the train by which she was supposed to meet her relatives in another town.
I've taken this photo from the Kamlapur Railway Station,Dhaka on Eid season,2011.
Saw this building, and in particular that ship and various symbols on Somerset House last week when I went to Maplin (to get some batteries).
Didn't have my camera with me that day.
Returned with it to get it (mainly for the ship).
Had it in manual mode, so some shots look over exposed.
Temple Street is off Temple Row (near St Philip's Cathedral).
New Street is at the bottom.
It is an Art Deco building dating from 1936.
Somerset House of 1936 by Essex & Goodman, with bands of wide windows between tower-like end bays. Over the entrance is a relief of a sailing ship.

Detail of the new stained glass window then being installed in the south transept facade of Cologne Cathedral.
The main south transept window was destroyed by bombing in 1942 and replaced after the war with plain glass. Only now has colour been restored to these heights, but not without controversy.
The new design by Gerhard Richter is very much contemporary in spirit, being formed of an abstract mosaic of coloured squares, which resemble computer pixels from ground level. Apparently the Archbishop favoured a more representational design showing 20th century martyrs and has been less than chuffed!
The technique too departs from tradition, the coloured glass pieces being resin-bonded to clear backing sheets, eschewing the use of lead altogether. This radical departure is not without some risk, since resin bonded windows from the 1960s and 70s have generally not stood the test of time well, but the technique used here has been meticulously studied first.
The window was installed over the space of a couple of months in summer 2007. At this stage (June) only the lowest section of the window at triforium level had been fitted (the rest was complete by the end of August that year).
