The Chester Roberts Park is very small and it can only accommodate a few vehicles in its parking lot, Nevertheless, it affords a beautiful view of the Peace River. The park is situated along the shoreline in Port Charlotte, Florida, next to the bridge carrying Hwy. 41 traffic between Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda.

Copenhagen, Denmark
I have been traveling, and decided to share a recent image from Copenhagen. What a wonderful city and a photographer's delight. This shot is from Superkilen park, which affords plentiful opportunities for photography and having fun. I was glad to go there after having seen amazing shots from some of my friends!
Thanks for looking at my photos and your feedback. I hope to reciprocate soon!
After a morning of exploring Osaka, I treated myself to this amazing set, flavorful fried rice, juicy karaage, and steaming miso soup, all at a surprisingly affordable price. Osaka truly proves why it’s one of Japan’s best cities for ramen and comfort food.
For those of you who have always wanted a Jaguar, but just didn’t have the money, now is your chance. This one is almost like new. Of course, if you want it to run you may have to put some money into it.
Just parking it in your yard would be a status symbol though. We could tow it over to you for a nominal amount.
No co-pays and no pesky deductibles at this health facility. Of course you won't find any doctors or nurses here either. Just the quiet mood of abandonment.
Happy Fence Friday everyone. More of a railing than a fence, but it's what I got.

Tamar the Great (Georgian: თამარ მეფე) (c. 1160 – 18 January 1213) reigned as the Queen of Georgia from 1184 to 1213, presiding over the apex of the Georgian Golden Age. A member of the Bagrationi dynasty, her position as the first woman to rule Georgia in her own right was emphasized by the title mepe ("king"), afforded to Tamar in the medieval Georgian sources.
Tamar was proclaimed heir and co-ruler by her reigning father George III in 1178, but she faced significant opposition from the aristocracy upon her ascension to full ruling powers after George's death. Tamar was successful in neutralizing this opposition and embarked on an energetic foreign policy aided by the decline of the hostile Seljuq Turks. Relying on a powerful military élite, Tamar was able to build on the successes of her predecessors to consolidate an empire which dominated the Caucasus until its collapse under the Mongol attacks within two decades after Tamar's death.
Tamar was married twice, her first union being, from 1185 to 1187, to the Rus' prince Yuri, whom she divorced and expelled from the country, defeating his subsequent coup attempts. For her second husband Tamar chose, in 1191, the Alan prince David Soslan, by whom she had two children, George and Rusudan, the two successive monarchs on the throne of Georgia.
Tamar's association with the period of political and military successes and cultural achievements, combined with her role as a female ruler, has led to her idealization and romanticization in Georgian arts and historical memory. She remains an important symbol in Georgian popular culture.

A scene from a theatrical performance at the holiday of Tbilisi (city day - Tbilisoba, თბილისობა) in the capital of Georgia. The actress of theatre of the pantomime depicts Queen Tamar.
A view from the west side trail. While the east side affords better views of the falls on the climb up, this was the only angle I saw where the upper cascades are also visible. A great day for a great hike.

Set out to shoot some snow, got dooped by a rise in temps and a subsequent change to rain. Same spot, but improvised on my idea. Also decided to go with the same treatment I've been giving my oddball series. Hope you enjoy.
Regular visitors to my photostream will know I'm a fan of photographing spiral stairs so I was quite excited to shoot this one in the Citizen M Bankside hotel back in August.
I thought I might have to book a night there to get some shots of it but I happened to be walking past and thought to myself 'if you don't ask, you don't get.....'. Luckily the helpful member of staff I spoke to in the lobby agreed with me.
From their website : 'citizenM is a new breed of hotel now in Amsterdam, Glasgow and London, and coming soon to New York, Paris, and a city near you. citizenM welcomes the mobile citizens of the world - the suits, weekenders, explorers, affair-havers and fashion-grabbers. To put it another way: anyone who travels frequently and loves affordable luxury. Chances are, that means you.'

BN eastbound Laurel to Lincoln #178 is pulling up around the wye at the west end of the yard, passing the "west shack" that used to be THE yard office before all the coal trains started. The "Q" built it with their usual attention to solid construction and I'd hardly call it a shack, but by now the real yard office was perched on top of the portico of the two story Alliance Division offices, a position that afforded the Yardmaster a good look at the controlled (barely) chaos of his domain. Those ore hoppers most likely don't contain ore; they probably have ballast picked up at Guersey where a ballast pit was located. There was also a connection at this time with the Colorado & Wyoming at Guernsey, but the iron ore from the Hartville/Sunrise mine was always - in my observation - in standard hoppers, stained as red as the ballast from Guernsey was. Over those first few ore/ballast jennies is suspended the Q-style cantilever signal bridge that marked the junction of the "Billings main" via Edgemont, Gillette, and Sheridan, with the "south line" that went via Scottsbluff, Wendover and Wind River Canyons to Laurel. The U30c, SD45, and two U30c's are having a good tug on what is probably a good sized train to get it into the yard. The tail end of the train is passing the very beginnings of construction of a new "South Yard" to accomodate all the coal traffic while this originall yard will be relegated to manifest and whatever loaded coal trains need a brief servicing stop.
This photo is my biggest yet. Taken on a Sony A7R II with a 16-35mm lens, it is 8 stitched HDR images with 5 exposures each totalling 40 x 43 megapixel pics with a final resolution of 14168 × 8118 and 316.5MB. Unfortunately flickr doesn't allow the massive zoom that viewing the light room file affords.
Fast, affordable and reliable!

Dinamarca - Copenhague - Vistas desde la Rundetaarn (Torre Redonda)
***
www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/round-tower-gdk410741
ENGLISH:
The Rundetaarn, or Rundetårn (Round Tower in English), is a 17th-century tower located in central Copenhagen, Denmark. One of the many architectural projects of Christian IV, it was built as an astronomical observatory. It is most noted for its equestrian staircase, a 7.5-turn helical corridor leading to the top, and for the expansive views it affords over Copenhagen.
The tower is part of the Trinitatis Complex which also provided the scholars of the time with a university chapel, the Trinitatis Church, and an academic library which was the first purpose-built facilities of the Copenhagen University Library which had been founded in 1482.
Today the Round Tower serves as an observation tower for expansive views of Copenhagen, a public astronomical observatory and a historical monument. At the same time the Library Hall, located above the church and only accessible along the tower's ramp, is an active cultural venue with both exhibitions and a busy concert schedule.
The Round Tower is a cylindrical tower built in masonry of alternating yellow and red bricks, the colours of the Oldenburgs. The bricks used were manufactured in the Netherlands and are of a hard-burned, slender type known as muffer or mopper. On the rear side, it is attached to the Trinitatis Church, but it has never served as a church tower.
Steenwinckel — whose name is otherwise synonymous with Dutch Renaissance architecture in Denmark — with the Trinitatis Complex has left his signature style. Unlike his other buildings with their lavish ornamentations and extravagant spires, the complex is built to a focused and restrained design. Hans van Steenwinckel must have been up on the situation in Holland, cogniziant that the style which he had once learned from Hendrick de Keyser had been altogether abandoned.
The architects now setting the agenda in the Netherlands, masters such as Jacob van Kampen (Amsterdam City Hall), Pieter Post (Mauritshuis in the Hague) and Philip Vingboons, now favoured a style characterized by sobriety and restraint. It is now known as Dutch Baroque or sometimes Dutch Classicism. Its proponents often relied on the theoretical works such as those of Palladio and of Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola. Steenwinckel may have paid a visit to his native Netherlands prior to his change in style but it will have been too early for him to have seen any of the period's buildings realized.
Instead of stairs, a 7.5-turn spiral ramp forms the only access way to the towertop observatory as well as the Library Hall and the Bell-Ringer's Loft, both located above the church. The ramp turns 7.5 times around the hollow masonry core of the tower before reaching the observation deck and observatory at the top, on the way also affording access to the Library Hall as well as the Ringer's Loft. This design was chosen to allow a horse and carriage to reach the library, moving books in and out of the library as well as transporting heavy and sensitive instruments to the observatory.
The winding corridor has a length of 210 m, climbing 3.74 m per turn. Along the outer wall the corridor has a length of 257.5 m and a grade of 10%, while along the wall of the inner core the corridor is only 85.5 m long but has a grade of 33%.
The observation deck is located 34.8 m above street level. Along the edge of the platform runs a wrought-iron lattice made in 1643 by Kaspar Fincke, Court Artist in metalwork. In the latticework, Christian IV's monogram and the letters RFP are seen, the letters representing the King's motto: Regna Firmat Pietas – Piety strengthens the Realms.
The observatory is a small domed building, built on the roof of the tower. Built in 1929, the current observatory is 7 m high and has a diameter of 6 m. Access is by a narrow winding stone staircase from the observation deck.
On the upper part of the façade of the tower, there is a gilded rebus inscription. Christian IV's draft of it, written in his own hand writing, is kept at the Danish National Archives. The rebus includes the four Hebrew consonants of the Tetragrammaton. The rebus can be interpreted in the following way: Lead God, the right teaching and justice into the heart of the crowned King Christian IV, 1642.

ESPAÑOL:
La Rundetårn (en español: Torre Redonda) es una torre del siglo XVII ubicada en el centro de Copenhague, Dinamarca. Siendo uno de los numerosos proyectos arquitectónicos del rey Cristián IV, fue construida como observatorio astronómico. Es conocida por su pasillo helicoidal que recorre 7 vueltas y media antes de llegar a la parte más alta y por las amplias vistas panorámicas de la ciudad de Copenhague que ofrece.
La torre forma parte del Trinitatis Complex, que también estaba compuesto por una capilla universitaria, la Iglesia Trinitatis y una biblioteca universitaria, que fueron las primeras instalaciones construidas específicamente por la Biblioteca de la Universidad de Copenhague, fundada en 1482.
Actualmente, la Torre Redonda tiene la función de mirador, observatorio astronómico público y monumento histórico. Asimismo, en la Sala de la Biblioteca, que se encuentra por encima de la iglesia y a la cual solo se puede acceder a través de la rampa de la torre, se suelen exhibir exposiciones y celebrar conciertos.

It's very impressive from any angle. You really do get blown away by its enormity and the skills of the craftsmen and women of the day.
Work to build The Cathedral Church of St Mary, better known as Lincoln Cathedral, began in 1072, meaning the oldest parts of the building are now more than 950 years old. It finally opened in 1092.
The Cathedral spire is 520 ft (crossing tower). The Nave is 78 ft. Architectural styles: Gothic architecture, English Gothic architecture.
Lincoln Cathedral has a busy schedule throughout year, thousands of visitors and ongoing preservation.
