PORTO (Portugal): Jardim Marques Oliveira (Jardim de São Lázaro).
Conhecido como Jardim de S. Lázaro, foi inaugurado em 1834, sendo o primeiro jardim público da cidade. Típico jardim romântico, cheio de fontes e estátuas, frondosas árvores e canteiros, além de um pequeno coreto. Apesar de bastante modificado desde a origem, é hoje o único jardim da cidade ainda envolvido por um gradeamento com quatro portões. Está instalada neste jardim uma fonte de mármore oriunda da sacristia do extinto Convento de São Domingos. Destaca-se o conjunto de 12 Magnolia grandiflora classificadas, em redor do lago, com grande valor ornamental. Próximo da Biblioteca Municipal do Porto e da Faculdade de Belas Artes, o Jardim Marques de Oliveira é um dos jardins públicos mais frequentados da cidade.

This elegant and aesthetically designed new office building, with 10 floors, features a recessed glass facade on its narrow ground-floor front.
This creates a varying length of overhang from the floor above at each of the building's two rounded corners.
But viewed from the sidewalk, from a worm's-eye view, the reflection of the ground-floor glass facade creates an optical illusion, a new architectural view of a freestanding, futuristic building whose underside resembles the wedge-shaped leaf of a birch tree.
The long exposure time of 7 minutes adds further drama with fast-moving clouds. Long exposure 423 sec. I LEE Little Stopper + LEE BIG Stopper

Baltit Fort is a fort in the Hunza valley, near the town of Karimabad, in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan. Founded in the 8th century CE, it has been on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative list since 2004.
The Mirs of Hunza abandoned the fort in 1945, and moved to a new palace down the hill. The fort started to decay which caused concern that it might possibly fall into ruin. Following a survey by the Royal Geographical Society of London a restoration programme was initiated and supported by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture Historic Cities Support Programme. The programme was completed in 1996 and the fort is now a museum run by the Baltit Heritage Trust.
So I woke up one morning in a fountain ... again. There was a strange concrete women in front of me listening to two geese with bad attitudes and sharp teeth. They were whispering sweet everythings into her ears and I didn't like the sound of that!
Needing some espresso badly, I started to climb out when she spit in my general direction and sent a pigeon to report my misbehavior. Unfortunately since then I am no longer allow d to sleep in fountains. It's actually stamped on my passport!
I snapped a picture to remember the moment and set off for a new adventure. Fortunately there were many available and I had lots of time so I snagged a few hundred to keep me busy.
I heard whistling down the road so I hummed a few bars and drank a deep sip from my espresso. I sighed with a deep contentment for the morning had just begun!
