"A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a scantly-clad princess and a Wookie walked in to a bar on a space port..." ;-D
Princess Sandy doing her great-looking "Slave Princess Leia" costume. Not only is Sandy very pleasing to the eyes, but she has a great southern accent and a "whiskey-soaked" voice – meaning that she has a bit deeper & sexier tone to her voice ... well, at least to me. *blushes*
Tech stuff: Fixed a couple of skin blemishes using Photoshop's Healing Brush; and used Topaz Adjust's "Smooth & Flat" filter on the background and reduced the effect by half to make the image a bit blurrier and add some atmosphere to it, like what you would see in a darkened or smoky bar.
Built in 1902, this Shingle-style mansion, known as Elmhurst, was designed by Frederick J. Osterling for Samuel Bloch, one of the founders of the Bloch Brothers Tobacco Company. Following Bloch’s death, the house was converted into a retirement community in 1942. The house features a wooden shingle-clad exterior, a rough-hewn stone base, rough-hewn stone chimneys, a complex roofline with multiple gables featuring complex shingled arches and balconies, decorative brackets, a front porch with a hipped roof, integrated gazebo with a conical roof, doric columns on stone piers, an open pier foundation, a wooden balustrade, and a gable over the front steps, an arched front door with arched sidelights and an arched transom, one-over-one double-hung windows, an elliptical oxeye window on the second floor of the front facade above the front door, a cylindrical tower right a conical roof, and a large addition to the west, which houses the majority of residents of the assisted living facility. The house is a contributing structure in the National Road Corridor Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. The house was renovated in 1997 under the direction of Peter Greer and James Kling, modernizing the interior and refacing the mid-20th Century rear addition to make it fit in with the rest of the house. The house remains in use today as a retirement home.
I revisited my Apple Store - cladding the exterior in black bricks which makes the building look much more sophisticated. The double walls led to a smaller interior footprint which feels more realistic with the addition of the white tile floor. Definitely the place to pick up the latest iPhone.
Built in 1827-1837, this Greek Revival-style building was designed by Gideon Shryock to serve as the Kentucky State Capitol. The building is clad in marble with a hexastyle front portico at the top of a set of front steps with fluted ionic columns, a cornice with dentils, a front pediment, a single bay on the front facade, housing a double entry door, twelve-over-twelve double-hung windows on the side facade, and a rooftop cupola with windows, engaged doric columns, and a metal dome. Inside, the building features well-preserved historic spaces, including a large circular stair hall beneath the cupola featuring a cantilevering stone staircase with a wrought iron railing, coffered ceilings, decorative plaster details, wooden doors, fluted ionic columns and pilasters, and stone floors on the ground level. The building served as the third Kentucky State Capitol from 1830 until the present State Capitol was built in 1910, and was restored in 1910-1920. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1971, is a contributing structure in the Old Statehouse Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and is a contributing structure in the Central Frankfort Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. The building today houses a museum operated by the Kentucky Historical Society.

Possibly not when it's 36°C.

Monorail station: It's quite a strange place, Vegas. You think you know what's there, and then you find an area like this.
Not completely sure why she was dressed like this (for the attention? was at a more adult party? dunno) but I definitely admired the view and very politely thanked her for taking a few moments to pose for me.
FYI: This came very close to my comfort level limits for photography.
The Cladance Moss operation of Sinclair Horticulture Ltd near East Kilbride on 29th March 2011, with 2ft 6in gauge Alan Keef 4-wheel diesel-hydraulic '05 581' (Works No.18 of 1985) heading a loaded train from the moss to the tippler, passing a peat harvesting machine, and one of two trains in operation that day. This was the last commercial narrow gauge peat railway in mainland Britain and sadly the railway operation was abandoned upon Sinclair Horticulture Ltd being taken by Westland Horticulture Ltd in August 2015. The Barclay had previously worked at Nobels Explosives Co. Ltd Ardeer Works, which was a subsidiary of I.C.I. Ltd, hence the company logo on the cab. This peat operation is believed to have commenced in the 1980s, but the railway was not installed until as recently as 1997.

Classical residential building like in many towns in Transylvania, where many balconies are usually modified in loggias.
“There is nothing in the world more beautiful than the forest clothed to its very hollows in snow. It is the still ecstasy of nature, wherein every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed, every intricacy of twig, is clad with radiance.” William Sharp

Wu Peak (Wuling)
At a altitude of 3275 meters, Wu Peak (phonetic sound Wuling) is to the north of Kunyang and is the highest spot of Taroko. Except to the west, there is a clear view of the surrounding mountains. The platform on the east side provides the most suitable place to view the scenery. The mountain landscape varies. It is the highest point on any Taiwan highway.
From April to June every year, if the weather permits, the Southern Cross Star can be observed. Wu Peak is positioned on the saddle between the main peak (3416m) and east peak (3421m) of Mt. Hehuan. The view of the peaks of Mt. Hehuan, and the Yushan cane clad slopes is magnificent.
When it snows during the winter, countless cars filled with excited people come to admire the lovely sight of Mt. Hehuan clad in white Mt. Hehuan is the best known place to see and play in snow in Taiwan. The area is famous for its name "Snow land".

Album Description – Babenhausen, Germany – 03DEC2017:
For my first layover in December I wanted to take the train from Mainz to Babenhausen to visit the Blachnik family & see the Christmas Market, December 2-3 in 2017: Cheryl made it possible, swapping her trip on the 2nd for mine on the 3rd! The plane left Charlotte with 6 open seats, and Joe got on board!
This was the first "great, big, historic Christmas Market" for Babenhausen, and I was really excited: what I wanted most to experience was the castle courtyard, normally not open to the public but for this historic weekend, would house 1 of the 2 live nativity scenes in Babenhausen, featuring a new-born donkey foal as a heartwarming companion to the Holy Family.
And I was eager to hear the Catholic Church Choir singing their concert for the first Sunday in Advent in the Old Town Square at 4 p.m., and also the Babenhausen brass ensemble at 6 p.m.
These 3 highlights along with the Advent Bazaar were what I had selected as my top 4 picks: Joe & I gave up our nap upon arrival in Mainz, heading instead straight to the train station:
Gertrud now wanted us to take her to the Christmas Market, in snowfall not feasible for 94-year-old Heinz in a wheelchair (he still wanted to go). Gertrud: "Not me. I've been 100 times," yet later in the week: "Hundreds of lights! It'll be so beautiful!" It'll be cold & wet outside! Gertrud: "Just dress appropriately."
Due to a delay at the FRA airport, we were later than expected coming into Mainz and due to trains running not so frequently that day, missed the 8:49 train we had hoped to catch and the next train at 10:01, but caught the 10:49 train arriving 11:58, and the Christmas Market would open at noon, as it's Sunday.
Joe: "Hi, Gertrud, how are you?" Here we were, to take her to the Christmas Market: "I'm excited!" She served Heinz a huge nice dinner – for him alone – then she, Joe, & I set out into icy-needle snowflakes, Gertrud in Sunday attire: dressy shoes, gloves, & coat, "no goofy cap!" Gertrud, yours looks like mine!
So she did put it on, after all. But she didn't head to the castle, adjacent to their residence. She turned her walker away from it, toward the main street. She told us she was treating us to lunch and went into a restaurant. She had made reservations!
We entered festive, jam-packed surroundings & dined 2 hours, resuming our trek after a delicious meal, to Old Town Square flanked by half-timbered houses and St. Nikolaus Church.
Next to the church is the fellowship hall with its Advent bazaar. Gertrud told Joe & me to take the stairs – too many for her to negotiate – up to shop the bazaar, & enjoyed cake downstairs visiting with friends from her 89 years living in Babenhausen.
Then Gertrud wanted to go straight home. Even so, clad for a fine lunch in the restaurant, on the way she lost feeling in her fingers from the frozen precipitation: "I'll say 10 'Our Father's' if I make it back..." [I don't know if she said all ten, but for the first time in my life, I did!] At 3:30 we were telling Heinz about our Christmas Market visit, & Joe asked about sitting down, in seconds sound asleep in Heinz's easy chair. I scrapped plans to see the castle courtyard + the choral & brass concerts. Joe got a Mainz weather update: ice on snow, thus we said good-bye before 4:30, crunching through snow to catch the 4:59 train.
It was sundown and snow fell the whole day, from Frankfurt to Mainz to Babenhausen and back: cold, but oh so picturesque!
It felt late (pitch dark), but in Mainz the Christmas Market was going full swing. We had planned on the 7:59 train to arrive in Mainz about quarter past 9 (21:12), and then I realized we had come 3 hours earlier; we hopped off the bus at the Cathedral.
Joe said, "I'm hungry," & bought a Bratwurst. At the hotel I asked his favorite part of the day. "I liked the Wurst the best."

The current century old Miami-Dade County Courthouse at 73 Flagler Street will see a new neighbor rise across the street; the new 474-foot-tall, 25-story Miami-Dade County Civil and Probate Courthouse was approved by the Miami-Dade Rapid Transit Developmental Impact Committee back in February of 2021. Designed by HOK, the 537,968-square-foot courthouse building is anticipated to become one of the tallest governmental-use towers in Miami.
Plenary Group, an Australian infrastructure investment firm, is the developer behind the proposals for the new courthouse under Plenary Justice Miami, LLC. The narrow piece of property is located within the western portion of Downtown Miami, also recognized as a part of the Central Business District, and in close proximity to the Government Center Metromover Station and the Interstate 95; bounded by Northwest 1st Avenue to the west, West Flagler Street to the south, Northwest 1st Street to the north and the HistroyMiami Museum to the south. Being that the property is owned by Miami-Dade County, developers had to submit a bid to be selected, where Plenary Group’s proposal was picked as the winner, likely due to the lower construction costs for the project. Other competing proposals were submitted by M-S-E Judicial Partners LLC and Sacyr Infrastructure USA.
Renderings from HOK reveal several elevations with offset window forms, creating a jagged-like texture from afar. The structure will be made of reinforced concrete and clad in what appears to be light-grey masonry with hints of metal trims scattered throughout the building and large floor-to-ceiling glazed windows. The eastern elevation facing the old courthouse features a slightly protruding volume enclosed in glass as well.
Likely due to minimizing construction costs, Miami-Dade County is permitting the project to proceed overriding several regulations. The parking garage will not require screening, and only 11% of the site will be open space whereas the requirement is typically 15%. A building’s facade normally requires 40% glazing, but in this case it will be at 27%. The proposed development can have blank walls facing the public without an artistic expressions such as mosaics or murals, and 0 site trees will be planted, whereas the required amount is 30.
