Breukelen is a municipality and town in the Netherlands, in the province of Utrecht. It is situated to the north west of Utrecht, along the river Vecht and close to the Loosdrechtse Plassen, an area of lakes and great natural beauty. During the 17th century a number of Amsterdam merchant families built opulent mansions along the river near Breukelen. This park belongs to the castle of Gunterstein next to the river Vecht.
The borough of Brooklyn, New York in the United States, is named after Breukelen.
This photo was taken at the park of Castle Gunterstein. Such a quiet and forgotten park since we didn't met anybody during our 2 hour walk. That's very rare in Holland ;-)
Gunterstein is een kasteel gelegen aan de oostzijde van de Utrechtse Vecht in de Nederlandse gemeente Breukelen in de provincie Utrecht. Het huis werd in 1680 gebouwd nadat het oude kasteel Gunterstein kort na het Rampjaar in 1673 was verwoest door Franse troepen. Rond het kasteel ligt een parkbos. Een deel van het gebied is weiland met houtwallen en het oostelijke deel bestaat uit populierenbos. Vroeger waren delen van het landgoed in gebruik als moestuin, boomgaard en hakhout. In de Franse tijd kwam daar een siertuin bij en zichtlanen om het huis meer aanzien te geven. Vanaf de tijd dat de Engels landschapsstijl in de mode kwam werd het park meer en meer natuurlijk en gebruikt om tot rust te komen. In de binnentuin bevindt zich een schitterende mammoetboom, een Ginkgo biloba en een moerascypres. Nu wordt het nog steeds gebruikt om rustig in te wandelen.

City Hall is the headquarters of the Greater London Authority which comprises the Mayor of London and London Assembly. It located in Southwark, stands on the south bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge. Designed by Norman Foster, it opened in July 2002.
The building has an unusual bulbous shape, intended to reduce its surface area and thus improve energy efficiency. It has been compared variously to Darth Vader's helmet, a misshapen egg, a human scrotum, a woodlouse or a motorcycle helmet. Former mayor Ken Livingstone referred to it as a "glass testicle".[1][2] The new mayor, Boris Johnson, has referred to it more politely as 'The Onion'. Its designers reportedly saw the building as a giant sphere hanging over the Thames, but opted for a more conventionally rooted building instead. It has no front or back on conventional terms but derives its shape from a modified sphere.
Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, England over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London. Tower Bridge is one of several London bridges owned and maintained by the City Bridge Trust, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation.
The bridge consists of two towers which are tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways which are designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge to the left and the right. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. Its present colour dates from 1977 when it was painted red, white and blue for the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Before this, it was painted a chocolate brown colour.[1]
Tower Bridge is sometimes mistakenly referred to as London Bridge, which is actually the next bridge upstream.[2] A popular urban legend is that, in 1968 Robert McCulloch, the purchaser of the old London Bridge which was later shipped to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, believed mistakenly that he was buying Tower Bridge, but this was denied by McCulloch himself and has been debunked by Ivan Luckin, the seller of the bridge.[3]

Awful weather here in Piedmont. Turin is on state of calamity and rain is falling without a break. Today I couldn't reach my office, as the railway lines were interrupted. And in this hell made of water...Neve and Ribes had the sweetest rest, side by side. Bunnies (and the pets we love) are the warming light in the darkest days.
Hoppy Furry Friday to everyone :)

Valeu Juliano Pavan, por postar essa foto. Através dela que eu tive interesse de ir conhecer esse muro. (junto com o Talles)
Taken while standing in the middle of the vastness that is the West-Vigne Glacier (altitude 5000 meters plus) and looking North. That was the British expedition making its way South towards Ali Camp and Gondogoro La.
Broadpeak - called so for it's 1.5 kilometer wide summit - was initially labeled K3. It is the 4th highest peak in Pakistan and the 12th highest in the world. Yup, we got some serious mountains over here.

Fue muy sorprendente cuando una nube se cruzó delante del arco iris, eso sí que no lo había visto nunca. Es muy curiosa, también, la paloma que se cruza delante del arco. Fijaos y la veréis.
En tres días ha conseguido muchas invitaciones, entrar en el explorer, y 10 favoritos, muchas gracias a todos.
El día 7 de agosto, esta foto llegó a las 1000 visitas, la decimoquinta en conseguirlo. Pero, curiosamente, es la cuarta en conseguir las 2000 visitas, el 28 de octubre, y la segunda en conseguir las 3000 visitas, el 2 de diciembre. También es mi segunda foto en conseguir las 4000 visitas, el 30 de diciembre de 2008
El 18 de enero de 2009 consigue 100 favoritos, muy lejos de la siguiente de mis fotos. El 28 de enero consigue las 5000 visitas, mi segunda foto en conseguirlas.
Desde el 17 de febrero, es mi foto con mayor número de visitas.
El 23 de febrero de 2009 se convirtió en mi primera foto con 6000 visitas. Y el 15 de marzo, las 7000 fotos. El 6 de abril consiguió las 8000 visitas, el 3 de mayo, 9000 visitas. El 31 de mayo las 10000 visitas. El 28 de junio las 11 mil visitas. El 30 de julio, las 12 mil
El 9 de agosto de 2009 consigue los 200 favoritos. El 1 de septiembre, las 13 mil visitas, el 4 de octubre, 14 mil. Las 15 mil se me pasaron, las 16 mil el 6 de dic de 2009. 18 mil el 4 de marzo de 2010. El 13 de abril consiguió las 19 mil.
El 27 de mayo consiguió las 20 mil visitas, todo un record, pues tiene mas de el doble que el siguiente.
El 25 de julio de 2011 consigue las 300 favoritas. El 18 de octubre de 2011 consigue las 25 mil visitas. Casi dos años después, el 19 de agosto de 2013 consigue las 27 mil. El 9 de marzo de 2014, consigue las 28 mil.
Erice - Scenary from the cathedral
From Porta Trapani, one of the entrance to the city, it gets to via Vito Carvini and so to the Cathedral Church.
In front of it, an imposing bell-tower rises with two orders of gothic mullioned windows and it is crowned by merlons.
It supposes that the bell-tower originary has been built as a vedetta tower by Federico from Aragon in 1312 and only later it has been used as a bell-tower.

Il nuovo gioiello storico-architettonico-artistico-culturale italiano è la restaurata Reggia di Venaria Reale, gioiellino barocco di Filippo Juvarra a pochi km da Torino, che venne eretta per la caccia sabauda e poi trascurata per Stupinigi e Racconigi.
Il restauro, costato ben 200 mln di € ha riportato la reggia ai fasti del 700, dove possibile. Forse dimenticandosi che la macchina del tempo non è mai stata inventata, si sono piastrellati nuovamente ambienti (come questo in foto, la Galleria di Diana) che da oltre 250 anni avevano un aspetto diverso (il pavimento a scacchiera originale è stato trasportato agli inizi del XIX secolo nell'Armeria Reale per volere degli stessi Savoia). Il risultato, seppur maestoso e affascinante, è una finzione, una copia di quel che era il vero castello. L'impressione è di stare a Gardaland o a Cinecittà, e lo scoramento di osservare stucchi ricostruiti e ridipinti dagli originali abbattuti perchè in rovina è stato piuttosto grande.
Il risultato è uno splendido scatolone vuoto, con poche sale rimaste intatte e originali, molte ricostruite e tante altre sede di una mostra sulla Real Casa piuttosto sciapa di contenuti.
Un po' poco per la reggia che ispirò i reali di Francia a costruire Versailles....
In altri ambienti invece si è preferito intervenire con elementi architettonici moderni, come nelle Scuderie alfieriane, ancora non visitabili. Probabilmente le migliori sale della reggia.
Si ringrazia il mio architetto di fiducia, l'esimio dott. Strada per le consulenze.
Si ringrazia un compagno di viaggio, Ale.Ian che ha condiviso la delusione.
Si attende un commento dell'architetto più esteta della Capitale. tale dott. Lord.

Cattle stop signs are a familiar sign on many of the NZ back roads, and are known as Cattle grids or guards in places other than New Zealand.
Note the bullet holes in the top part of the sign :-)
As depicted in the 1989 film, Ariel is the youngest of King Triton's seven daughters (being 16-years-old). She is shown as being adventurous and curious about the world of humans, a fascination which angers her father as merfolk are forbidden from making contact with the human world. Her best friend in the film is a fish named Flounder, and she develops a close relationship with a crab named Sebastian.
Ariel salvages human items and keeps them in a secret grotto as part of her collection.
Over the course of the film Ariel saves the life of and falls in love with a human prince named Eric. She visits the sea witch, Ursula, to trade her voice for legs for three days in order to get a chance to win Eric's heart, not realising that this agreement is part of Ursula's bigger plan to trap Ariel's father, King Triton.
Ariel almost manages to win the agreement by getting the "kiss of true love", but is stopped by Ursula's underhanded tactics. When the three day limit has passed, Ariel returns to mermaid form and is claimed by Ursula. King Triton trades himself for Ariel, enabling Ursula to claim the trident. In the battle that follows, Eric destroys Ursula. When the film ends, Ariel is transformed into a human permanently by King Triton's trident, and marries Prince Eric
