This is the LAST time I fly budget with Bobbo Airlines... talk about a rough landing!!!

When you're a busy mom like this pretty lady there isn't time to get a professional pedicure. You take things into your own hands......or mouth and hands.

Yet another sad story of broken dreams and failure along the Mother Road...

Due to budget constraints, the town decided not to have a fireworks display this year. So now I don't have the fireworks photo to post ;-(

 

In the meantime, all I have is this photo of a lily... ;-)

Cargill (worth 75+ billion) seems to have cut back on the PR budget

This photo is of the Oculus transit hub in New York City. The facility cost more than $4 billion to construct, and had a budget overrun of more than $2 billion! Talk about not quite getting the cost estimates right!

MS Mount Washington from Lockes Hill Scenic Overlook

 

Lockes Hill Trail in Gilford, NH is a pleasant little hike with terrific views of Lake Winnipesaukee (New Hampshire's Largest Lake).

 

I happened to time the hike perfectly so that the Mount Washington was going by just as I reached one of the scenic overlooks along the trail.

 

This little T6/Sigma 18-125mm setup is one of my favorite hiking combinations and I've been pleased with several of my images from this combination, even though it's a budget arrangement.

IL CORAGGIO DI VIVERE

UN NUOVO PROGETTO 1° parte

_______________________________________________

  

Di sicuro, questo viaggio a Cuba,

dette motivazioni importanti a mia moglie.

La "cura" fu così efficace che tornò piena di vigore e positività.

Il mio senso di colpa, era diventato d'improvviso sopportabile,

acquisendo una visione della vita molto diversa.

Da allora ribaltai le priorità.

 

Voglio vivere ogni attimo come un dono di Dio.

Lottare e condividere le giornate partendo dal sorriso del mattino.

Armonia e benessere interiore a fortificare un modo semplice e meraviglioso di percepire la bellezza del mondo.

Insomma, vivere.

 

Nemmeno il tempo di tornare che Anto si mise in testa di allestire un secondo negozio ben più grande e di livello.

La ghiotta occasione arrivò dopo pochi mesi.

A due passi da Piazza dei Miracoli scovammo un fondo antico e pieno di fascino.

Con al centro un bell'arco in pietra.

Un sogno di Antonella e lo confesso, anche mio.

Poter un giorno lavorare nei pressi di una delle piazze più ammirate al mondo.

 

Per la prima volta non avevamo grossi problemi di budget.

L'assicurazione aveva in parte risarcito le sofferenze d' Antonella.

 

E questo "dono" fu manna per uno "pseudo" arredatore d'interni.

If you would like to save your budget, use this wall for your lens tests and you will keep none of them ... 😂

A UK government minister used this expression in parliament last week and I was mystified by what he was on about. This is what I found:

"In the UK, 4.1 million tonnes of food is wasted in the grocery retail supply chain each year. The wasted food is safe, in-date and edible, but isn’t used by major retailers for a variety of reasons, such as faulty packaging and over-ordering.

 

‘Social supermarkets’ reduce this food waste by selling this ‘waste’ stock at low prices to local people on low incomes who are struggling with food poverty."

 

Anyway this is my dinner today. Not knowing what you will be able to buy each week makes for some creative cooking!

  

abandoned, but probably not vacant.

 

Bixby Creek Bridge, also known as Bixby Bridge, is a reinforced concrete open-spandrel arch bridge in Big Sur, California. The bridge is located 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco and 13 miles (21 km) south of Carmel in Monterey County along California Highway One. Prior to the opening of the bridge in 1932, residents of the Big Sur area were virtually cut off during winter due to the often impassable Old Coast Road that led 11 miles (18 km) inland. At its completion, the bridge was built under budget for $199,861 and was the longest concrete arch span at 320 feet (98 m) on the California State Highway System. It is one of the tallest single-span concrete bridges in the world and one of the most photographed bridges along the Pacific Coast due to its aesthetic design and location.

Mons

Nouvelle gare | New station

 

Située à proximité du centre de la ville de Mons, la gare fut mise en service en 1841 par les Chemins de fer de l'État belge et reconstruite à trois reprises depuis lors.

 

Le troisième bâtiment, qui datait de 1952, a été démoli en 2013 puis est progressivement remplacé par une nouvelle gare, conçue par l'architecte Santiago Calatrava ; le budget, prévu à 37 millions d'euros en 2006, atteint 480 millions en 2024 (en fin de chantier), soit 13 fois le montant initial.

 

En août 2023, la fin des travaux de la nouvelle gare (prévue à l'origine pour début 2015) est annoncée pour février 2024. En mai 2024, le chantier « touche à sa fin». La nouvelle gare a finalement été mise en service le 18 décembre 2024 et sera inaugurée le 31 janvier 2025.

---------------

 

Located near the centre of the city of Mons, the station was opened in 1841 by the Belgian State Railways and has been rebuilt three times since then.

 

The third building, which dated from 1952, was demolished in 2013 to be gradually replaced by a new station, designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava; the budget, planned at 37 million euros in 2006, reached 480 million in 2024 (at the end of the construction), i.e. 13 times the initial amount.

 

In August 2023, the end of the work on the new station (originally planned for early 2015) was announced for February 2024. In May 2024, the construction site "neared its end".

The new station was finally opened on 18 December 2024 and will be inaugurated on 31 January 2025.

  

Blown Budget preparing for a run at Kjula Dragway in Sweden.

Dans le quartier Bavière, le nouveau bâtiment de verre et d’acier consacré à la culture et à la lecture a été financé à 50% par la Province de Liège, avec le soutien de l’Europe et de la Wallonie. Budget total : 50 millions d’euros.

Pourquoi B3 ?

Dans un communiqué la Province explique avoir voulu choisir un nom simple, un choix fait après avoir consulté de manière informelle le milieu culturel et associatif liégeois et la population.

B comme "Bavière"

Le nouvel édifice a été construit sur le site de l’ancien hôpital Bavière. Il s’agit d’une référence historique pour un outil tourné vers l’avenir, précise la Province.

3 comme les 3 fonctions d’un "tiers lieu"

Le projet prévoit au bâtiment trois fonctions :

1. Un centre de ressources incluant l’ancienne bibliothèque des Chiroux (livres, œuvres d’art, médias musicaux…), un espace public numérique, une agora, une salle de 160 places, une salle d’exposition et un espace brasserie.

2. De la création artistique avec "l’exploratoire des possibles", comprenant un fablab, des espaces de travail consacrés aux métiers créatifs et digitaux et aux métiers d’Art, un espace digital.

3. Une pépinière d’entreprises avec un espace de 800 m2 de bureaux et une zone de coworking pour les jeunes entreprises et projets culturels et créatifs.

 

In the Bavaria district, the new glass and steel building dedicated to culture and reading was 50% funded by the Province of Liège, with support from Europe and Wallonia. Total budget: 50 million euros.

Why B3?

In a press release, the Province explains that it wanted to choose a simple name, a choice made after having informally consulted the cultural and associative milieu of Liège and the population.

B for "Bavaria"

The new building was built on the site of the former Bavaria Hospital. This is a historical reference for a future-oriented tool, specifies the Province.

3 as the 3 functions of a "third place"

The project foresees three functions for the building:

1. A resource center including the former Chiroux library (books, works of art, musical media, etc.), a digital public space, an agora, a 160-seat hall, an exhibition hall and a brasserie space.

2. Artistic creation with "the exploratory of possibilities", including a fablab, workspaces dedicated to creative and digital professions and artistic professions, a digital space.

3. A business incubator with 800 m2 of office space and a coworking area for young companies and cultural and creative projects.
