Ya estábamos subiendo la Panda Bistruey, aunque aún nos quedaban casi 400 m de desnivel, pero ya veíamos la cima y eso nos daba ánimos para apretar un poco el paso, sobre todo en esta zona, antes de que se nos pusiera muy pindia la cuesta. Al fondo se ve la zona de la Peña Prieta y el Coriscao. Hacíamos la subida a la Peña Bistruey (2001 m) desde Bárago (646 m).
Muchas gracias por la visita.
I do love the Cornish Coast, and who can resist a big sea and some old mine buildings. I'll have to go down to Cornwall again . A sense of Brio by Wire, will fill my days.

1 flash rear camera left
1 flash front camera left, lower power
1 flash rear camera right in order to create some separation with the backgroupnd. However I don't think it even hit anything. Bad aim after all the wine I guess...

This wagon brings me back to my childhood - even though I'm not even sure I ever had one of these.
weird.
This guy was very friendly and wanted to see what I was holding. When I approached he would turn his back. When I walked away he would approach the rail and watch me. I decided he was showing me his wonderful view.
Meanwhile, Bohnli was having a look at his offspring as a possible new addition to the herd.

We had gone back east in August. We had been given the date that we could inter her mom next to her dad at Arlington National. On this day we toured Alexandria and had walked through Market Square.
There was this marvelous work.
Tired, hot, I neglected gathering any information about it at that time. But as a Physical Therapist, I'm always fascinated with movement and depictions of it.
I just loved the movement brought out by this bronze piece. And I'm still shocked that later I was able to find out more about it via our good friend google.
The artist is Jimilu Mason, an American sculptor. I found that she was born here in New Mexico, in Las Cruces. She grew up in Washington, DC. I was two years old when she received her BA from George Washington University. I'm now a senior citizen.
I also discovered the title of the piece, Brío.
Mason spent quite a bit of time studying and working in Italy. One source said Brío was Italian, but our good friend google translate suggests that the word is Spanish.
Among its definitions are "verve," "spirit," and "zest."
While I loved the movement, I was dissatisfied with the photo I shot. There was very little differentiation of the piece from the surrounding foliage.
Due to the studying I have been doing into Photoshop LAB color, I'm more sensitized to nuances in hue lately, and noticed that the sculpture had a bit more blue in its green than had the surrounding green of the foliage.
Dan Margulis in his LAB color book says that the A and B channels can be used more effectively to create selections than can other methods in other color spaces.
This seemed like a chance to give that a try.
Sure enough, he was right.
And for sliders sunday, I went a bit overboard...

A Brio restaurant at Somerset Collection. The Bravo chain is also related to Brio.
Somerset Collection is a massive luxury mall in Troy, Michigan. The mall is a sprawling 1,443,000 square feet and has two sections (north and south). About 90 percent of the tenants in the mall appear to be higher-end, but there are some middle-end stores like just about every other mall has. The mall is currently anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Crate & Barrel, Nordstrom, and Macy's.
The one anchor store that seems odd here is Macy's. It seems a little low-end for this mall; I wonder why they didn't put a Bloomingdale's here instead. I laughed when someone with a lot of money told me they though of Macy's as a discount store. I can see how Macy's would be considered "discount" after walking around this mall....
In 1967, Saks built a Saks Fifth Avenue store on the property. A single story enclosed luxury mall (Somerset Mall) was built attached to the store in 1969. Bonwit Teller was added as an anchor then. Both Bonwit Teller and Saks Fifth Avenue remodeled plus expanded over the years. In 1990, Bonwit Teller went bankrupt and shuttered all of their stores.
In 1992, the mall was reconstructed as a two-story mall and added Neiman Marcus as an anchor store. Neiman Marcus demolished and rebuilt on the site of Bonwit Teller. The new mall was called Somerset Collection. In 1996, a north side to the mall was built on the other side of Big Beaver Road. This other side of the mall is connected to the south side with a moving sidewalk over the road (skywalk). The three story north expansion brought Nordstom and Hudson's (later Marshall Field's, now Macy's) as anchor stores.
The south side of the mall has 524,700 square feet of space and the north side has 918,300 square feet of space. The mall appeared to have around a 100% occupency rate on my visit. The only stores I noticed not open were under construction to be turned into other stores. A couple retailers have more than one location in the mall, Aveda and Starbucks (full Starbucks locations, not kiosks) both have two locations inside the mall. Also, I noticed brands like Burberry, Gucci, Louis Vuitton had full stores in the mall as well as salespaces in other anchor stores (such as Saks Fifth Avenue).
Forbes Company owns this mall. Forbes also bought the former Kmart Headquarters building across the street to block another developer that wanted to build a new shopping center and swipe some stores from Somerset Collection. Nothing appears to be happing with the old Kmart Headquarters building...
