The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre is a 2,111-capacity theatre in Dublin, Ireland which opened on 18 March 2010. Designed by Daniel Libeskind of New York and RHWL Architects of London, it is located in the Grand Canal Dock area and the concept of the theatre was created by Mike Adamson of Live Nation and the Docklands Development Authority as a touring theatre for Ballet, Opera, Musicals and Concerts.
It was officially opened with a performance of Swan Lake by the Russian State Ballet of Siberia. It is the largest theatre in Ireland and is designed to present theatrical productions that were previously unable to visit Ireland. The acoustic, theatre technical systems, structural and building services designs were by Arup. Chartered Land were the developers and funders of the theatre and Harry Crosbie is the lease holder.
The theatre complements the larger 14,000-capacity concert venue the 3Arena, which is located across the River Liffey to the north.
The building was opened as the Grand Canal Theatre, but was renamed during March 2012 as part of a naming rights agreement with Bord Gáis Energy worth a reported €4.5 million. It will have this name until 2018 at least. Bord Gáis is Irish for Gas Board.

Which Resort do you like to stay at?
I am finally making my rounds to the resorts at Walt Disney World. Most people think the parks are the only thing to see when they come to visit here, but that's not true at all. Almost more detail has been given to the resorts you stay in than to the attractions in any of the parks. For example the Fort Wilderness Lodge here. This section in the back of the lobby area is patterned after the areas found in...

Milford Sound - a cool sunrise, no fiery red sky. Nonetheless the reflection in pockets of pool of water from last night's high tide was awesome!

Tinkinswood Burial Chamber
Tinkinswood's burial chamber was built around 4000 BC in a small valley (near Barry) in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. Excavated in 1914 and has a capstone estimated to weight over 40 tons - one of the heaviest of all British sites. It is thought that it would have needed 200 people to move it.
The chamber contained the bodies of at least 50 people, 8 children amongst them. Items found during excavation suggest that the chamber was used until 2000 B.C.
Fornebu (local form Fornebo) is a peninsular area in the suburban municipality of Bærum in Norway, bordering western parts of Oslo.
Oslo Airport, Fornebu (FBU) served as the main airport for Oslo and the country since before World War II and until the evening of October 7, 1998, when it was closed down. Overnight, a grand moving operation was performed, so that the following morning, the new main airport, located inland at Gardermoen (OSL), opened for operations as the main airport, as opposed to previously having been a minor airport.
As of 2001, the Fornebu area is being developed as a centre for information technology and telecom industry, as well as there being some housing project developments nearby. The new headquarters of Norway's telecom giant Telenor are located in the area.
The peninsula is connected to Langodden and Snarøya, which are more established areas of private residences.

DiverCity Tokyo Plaza is a shopping mall designed with the theme of creating a "theatrical city space." There is a large-scale entertainment facility where you can have many different experiences, and offers a wide selection of Japan-themed souvenirs at many of its shops. With many authentic Japanese restaurants and convenient access to transportation, DiverCity is a fun new destination in Tokyo for overseas visitors!
Diver City Tokyo Plaza is located on the artificial island Odaiba (お台場) in Tokyo Bay. It also happens to be a place of pilgrimage for many hardcore Gundam fans. Gundam (ガンダム) is an anime franchise revolving around giant robots (“mecha”) known as “mobile suits”. Diver City is home to the only full-size Gundam statue in the world. Right next to the Gundam statue is a Gundam Cafe, and inside the shopping centre is Gundam Front Tokyo – a Gundam museum.

This used to be one of my favorite places. Maybe it will be my kids favorite place.
Does it make a U turn and go away?
Do the two come together to make something bigger and better?

A 5 exposure HDR of the Grand River from the lookout in Blair...what at first seemed a bust of a morning for light turned quite nice for a brief time.
What restaurant is a must experience?
Whenever I take the "Which Disney Character Are You?" tests, I always end up as Lumiere, the fun-loving entertainer and all around service-oriented guy. It's true I love to serve and fun is a driving force in my life. If it's not fun, I'm not interested. The song "Be Our Guest" is almost my anthem. I love to make people feel welcome and I will do practically anything for someone else. If there is a person in need...

The Buddha-Bar is a bar, restaurant, and hotel franchise created by restaurateur Raymond Vişan and DJ and interior designer Claude Challe, with its original location having opened in Paris, France in 1996. The Buddha Bar "soon became a reference among foreign yuppies and wealthy tourists visiting the city", and "has spawned numerous imitators" becoming popular in part because of the DJ's choice of eclectic, avant-garde music. It became known internationally for issuing popular compilations of lounge, chill-out music and world music, also under the Buddha Bar brand, released by George V Records. Locations have since been opened in a number of other countries, although not without controversy arising from the theme.

This tiny two-roomed building, built of brick in 1936, is claimed to be the smallest free-standing post office in Wales. It was built by Evan Isaac, a local stonemason, and his cousin David Williams, a carpenter, and was run by Mr Isaac's daughter and her husband, who also operated the village pub, which stood across the road. The mail was delivered from Whitland, the local town, and was sorted here by Mrs Beatrice Griffiths who would then deliver it by bicycle to the surrounding farms and cottages, a journey of eight miles every day. The post office counter was located in the main room, whilst the second room (with fireplace) served as a wireless repair workshop. The business was moved to a nearby bungalow in 1963 and the building was moved to the museum in 1992 where it has been refurbished as it would have looked during the Second World War.
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Santiago (Spanish: Catedral Metropolitana de Santiago) is the seat of the Archbishop of Santiago de Chile, currently Celestino Aós Braco, and the center of the archdiocese of Santiago de Chile. Construction of the neoclassical cathedral began in 1748 and ended in 1800. Further alterations ordered at the end of the 19th century give it its present appearance.Previous cathedrals in the archdiocese had been destroyed by earthquakes.
The cathedral, located in the city's historic center, faces Santiago's Plaza de Armas and stands near the Palacio Arzobispal de Santiago, the administrative center for the archdiocese. The cathedral is also close to the Parroquia El Sagrario, a Catholic temple and a Chilean national monument.
