A la derecha nos encontramos con el edificio Lloyd's, una de las construcciones más emblemáticas de la City de Londres, y para mi una de las más atractivas visualmente, sino la que más. A pesar de su llamativa arquitectura, la elección para su construcción se debió en gran parte a la idea de poder ampliar algunas características sin que esto afectara al espacio interior de trabajo, de forma que los núcleos de servicio se encuentran en el perímetro exterior del edificio, una propuesta de Richard Rogers. Terminado en 1986, su diseño futurista no deja indiferente a nadie, incluso hoy.
Nos costó devolver el cuello a la verticalidad, ya que a poco que nos moviéramos, obteníamos una vista totalmente distinta con estos enormes edificios sobre nuestras cabezas, ¡qué buen rato pasamos en esta zona! Una exposición de 30 segundos, ISO 200 y f/11 sobre un filtro ND de 15 pasos.

At the right we can look the Lloyd's building, one of the most emblematic buildings of the City of London, and for me, one of the most visually attractive. Despite its striking architecture, the choice for its construction was due in large part to the idea of being able to expand some features without affecting the interior work space, so that the service cores are located on the outer perimeter of the building , a proposal by Richard Rogers. Completed in 1986, its futuristic design leaves no one indifferent, even today.
It cost us to return the neck to the vertical, as soon as we moved, we got a totally different view with these huge buildings above our heads, what a good time we spent in this area! An exposure of 30 seconds, ISO 200 and f / 11 on a 15-step ND filter.

There's no one but you and me
Right here and now
The way it was meant to be
There's a smile on my face
Knowing that together everything that's in our way
We're better than alright
Walking between the raindrops
Riding the aftershock beside you
Off into the sunset
Living like there's nothing left to lose
Chasing after gold mines
Crossing the fine lines we knew
Hold on and take a breath
I'll be here every step
Walking between the raindrops with you
Take me now
The world's such a crazy place
When the walls come down
You'll know I'm here to stay
There's nothing I would change
Knowing that together everything that's in our way
We're better than alright
NEW Rainy Poses for Spring Showers out tonight for Fifty Linden Fridays at oOo Studio!
it takes a discerning eye to capture the truth
it takes a discerning heart to be captured by truth
it takes a love of earth to know both.
close your eyes and you close your heart.
close your heart and lose the part
the part of you that wants to be held, loved and accepted into the part of you that knows the truth.
so don't run and hide in a world so bold
that gives you a truth that is so cold
come back to the moment of baby smell delight
and know that your innocence is oh so right.
so balance your life in between the lines
stay the course you were meant to find
in between life and death is a world so fine
all you need do is be willing to be kind.
amen and amen

I was in between two systems here....one was rolling over Didsbury to the east while another was following it from the west in the Sundre area.
Boulders Beach is a sheltered beach made up of inlets between granite boulders, from which the name originated. It is located on the Cape Peninsula, in Simon's Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is also commonly known as Boulders Bay. It is a popular tourist spot because of a colony of African penguins which settled there in 1982. Boulders Beach forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
These African penguins are only found on the coastlines of Southern Africa (South Africa and Namibia). These penguins are currently endangered. As a result, the penguins are under the protection of the Cape Nature Conservation.
Although set in a residential area, it is one of the few sites where this vulnerable bird (Spheniscus demersus) can be observed at close range, wandering freely in a protected natural environment. From just two breeding pairs in 1982, the penguin colony has grown to about 3000 birds in recent years. This is partly due to the prohibition of commercial pelagic trawling in False Bay, which has increased the supply of sardines and anchovies, which form part of the penguins' diet. as well as the help from former SANDF naval officer, Van the Penguin Man
Bordered mainly by indigenous bush above the high-water mark on the one side, and the clear water of False Bay on the other, the area comprises several small sheltered bays, partially enclosed by granite boulders that are 540 million years old.
The most popular recreational spot is Boulders Beach, but the penguins are best viewed from Foxy Beach, where newly constructed boardwalks take visitors to within a few metres of the birds. It is also a famous swimming beach, although people are restricted to beaches adjacent to the penguin colony.

Narrow alley in The Old Town in Elbląg :)
The Church Path - narrow passage between houses on The Old Town called “Church Path” due to the fact it connected three churches: the Holy Ghost hospital, the parish church of St. Nicholas, and the church of the Holiest Virgin Mary. After the Second World War, survived only section Connecting Świętego Ducha (Holy Ghost) and Mostowa streets. The surviving fragment of the path is one of the few original medieval elements that has been preserved in the Old Town of Elbląg.
Elbląg is a city in northern Poland on the eastern edge of the Żuławy region. Elbląg is one of the oldest cities in the province. Its history dates back to 1237, when the Teutonic Order constructed their fortified stronghold on the banks of a nearby river. The castle subsequently served as the official seat of the Teutonic Order Masters. The city was transferred to Prussia after the first partition of Poland in 1772. After World War II the city again became part of Poland. Today, Elbląg is a vibrant city with an attractive tourist base. It serves as an academic and financial center and among its numerous historic monuments is the Market Gate from 1309 and St. Nicholas Cathedral. Elbląg is also known for its archaeological sites, museums and the largest brewery in the country.

Wąskie przejście pomiędzy murami na starówce w Elblągu zwane "Ścieżką kościelną" :)
Ścieżka kościelna w Elblągu – wąskie przejście między kamienicami w Elblągu, łączące trzy kościoły Starego Miasta. Stanowiła najszybszą i najkrótszą drogę pomiędzy nimi, stąd też jej nazwa. Prowadziła ona od kościoła św. Ducha, przebiegała przy kościele św. Mikołaja i kończyła się przed bramą podominikańskiego klasztoru NMP. Po II wojnie światowej ocalał tylko odcinek łączący ulice Świętego Ducha i Mostową. Ocalały fragment Ścieżki kościelnej stanowi jeden z nielicznych, oryginalnych elementów średniowiecznych, który zachował się na elbląskim Starym Mieście.
Elbląg – miasto na prawach powiatu w województwie warmińsko-mazurskim. Jedno z najstarszych w Polsce (rok założenia 1237, kiedy to Krzyżacy pod dowództwem Hermanna von Balka wybudowali na wyspie u ujścia rzeki Elbląg niewielki drewniano-ziemny gródek, prawa miejskie nadane w 1246). Miasto posiadało prawo do czynnego uczestnictwa w akcie wyboru króla. Podczas I rozbioru Polski w 1772 Elbląg znalazł się pod zaborem pruskim, a od 1815 do 1920 Elbląg należał do rejencji gdańskiej w pruskiej prowincji Prusy Zachodnie. Po I wojnie światowej Elbląg znalazł się w prowincji Prusy Wschodnie, zaś po II wojnie światowej miasto ponownie znalazło się w granicach państwa polskiego. Elbląg to najniżej położone miasto w Polsce. Leży u ujścia rzeki Elbląg do Zalewu Wiślanego.
I need to get fit again - Christmas has taken it's toll.......and though more showers than sunshine were forecast for yesterday we were determined to get out. Totally drenched but we did it!
A cold wind was blowing from the north, and it made the trees rustle like living things. -George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
Pine Valley Peak in the distance is framed by two large hoodoos in the foreground. The sun has already set, but still turning the clouds pink.
Between Peach Spring and Yampai is the curved double track Nelson tunnel. It is the only tunnel on the former Santa Fe Transcon in Arizona. This is train Q-LABH a priority intermodal from Los Angeles to Birmingham using the Avard connection with the BN (former Frisco). This was in 1991 well before the Santa Fe/BN merger Power from both roads was typically used. In 1991, we were able to drive across the track in Nelson through a clearly never-closed gate and use former ROW that had been bypassed in 1923 when the tunnel was built to get to tunnel. I've read that the lime plant in Nelson has closed that off in recent years and getting to the tunnel is difficult.
