El castillo de Burgalimar (del árabe Burj al-Hamma, 'torre de los Baños'), es una fortaleza califal, construida en el siglo x sobre un pequeño cerro que domina la localidad de Baños de la Encina, situada en el norte de la provincia de Jaén (Andalucía, España).

Rodeado y flanqueado por una robusta y almenada muralla con catorce torres, más una decimoquinta torre del homenaje de factura cristiana, el castillo apenas ha sufrido daños, ya sean causados por el tiempo o la acción humana. Representa por tanto un ejemplo perfecto de fortaleza andalusí del siglo x, y constituye el conjunto fortificado mejor preservado de la época califal, al mismo tiempo que es uno de los castillos musulmanes mejor conservados de toda España. Su inestimable valor histórico y artístico es la razón por la que este castillo llegó a ser declarado como Monumento Nacional en 1931.1​os de la Encina (Jaén)

We walk around this area often as it`s only 10 min drive from home.

this is how my city looks like at night

Unfortunately, I didn't have a tripod with me, so the photo has a lot of grain.

25, my birthday :D

When I was young I'd listen to the radio Waitin' for my favorite songs Waiting they played I'd sing along It made me smile Those were such happy times And not so long ago How I wondered where they'd gone But they're back again Just like a long lost friend All the songs I loved so well (*) every sha-la-la-la Every wo-wo-wo Still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're starting to sing's So fine

I plan to post my travel photographs in about 3 weeks' time, after August 9, which is Singapore's National Day. This year, we celebrate Singapore's 50 years of independence (SG50).

Thank you everyone for the comments and faves.

Really appreciate it.

Have a good weekend.

Another shot from last year's visit to City Hall in London during the Open House weekend.

I've posted most of my favourite shots from here but digging in the archives I discovered this crazy composition looking down its helical staircase.

I love photographing this building, and hopefully, this year's Open House event will still take place so I can revisit and see what else I can come up with!
