Category A listed historic townhouses constructed 1821-23.

 

"The New Town is a central area of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. A masterpiece of city planning, it was built in stages between 1767 and around 1850, and retains much of its original neo-classical and Georgian period architecture. Its best known street is Princes Street, facing Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town across the geological depression of the former Nor Loch. Together with the Old Town, the New Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.

 

Edinburgh (/ˈɛdɪnbərə/; Scots: Edinburgh; Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Èideann [ˈt̪uːn ˈeːtʲən̪ˠ]) is the capital of Scotland and one of its 32 council areas. Historically part of the county of Midlothian (interchangeably Edinburghshire before 1921), it is located in Lothian on the Firth of Forth's southern shore.

 

Recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century, Edinburgh is the seat of the Scottish Government, the Scottish Parliament and the supreme courts of Scotland. The city's Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence of the monarch in Scotland. The city has long been a centre of education, particularly in the fields of medicine, Scots law, literature, philosophy, the sciences and engineering. It is the second largest financial centre in the United Kingdom (after London) and the city's historical and cultural attractions have made it the United Kingdom's second most visited tourist destination attracting 4.9 million visits including 2.4 million from overseas in 2018.

 

Edinburgh is Scotland's second most populous city and the seventh most populous in the United Kingdom. The official population estimates are 488,050 (2016) for the Locality of Edinburgh (Edinburgh pre 1975 regionalisation plus Currie and Balerno), 518,500 (2018) for the City of Edinburgh, and 1,339,380 (2014) for the city region. Edinburgh lies at the heart of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland city region comprising East Lothian, Edinburgh, Fife, Midlothian, Scottish Borders and West Lothian.

 

The city is the annual venue of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. It is home to national institutions such as the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. The University of Edinburgh, founded in 1582 and now one of four in the city, is placed 20th in the QS World University Rankings for 2020. The city is also known for the Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe, the latter being the world's largest annual international arts festival. Historic sites in Edinburgh include Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the churches of St. Giles, Greyfriars and the Canongate, and the extensive Georgian New Town built in the 18th/19th centuries. Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town together are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, which has been managed by Edinburgh World Heritage since 1999." - info from Wikipedia.

 

Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)

 

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness

Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun

Conspiring with him how to load and bless

With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;

To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,

And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;

To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells

With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,

And still more, later flowers for the bees,

Until they think warm days will never cease,

For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats

The 45EPIC landscapes and goddesses are straight out of Homer's Iliad & Odyssey!

 

I'm currently updating a translation with the Greek names for the gods and goddesses--will publish soon! :)

"RAGE--Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Zeus fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. " --Homer's Iliad capturing the rage of the 45EPIC landscapes and seascapes! :)

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

The classical guitar (or Spanish Guitar) is the member of the guitar family used in classical music. It is an acoustical wooden guitar with six classical guitar strings as opposed to the metal strings used in acoustic and electric guitars designed for popular music.

 

In addition to the instrument, the phrase "classical guitar" can refer to two other concepts:

 

The instrumental finger technique common to classical guitar—individual strings plucked with the fingernails or, rarely, fingertips

The instrument's classical music repertoire

 

The shape, construction, and material of classical guitars vary, but typically they have a modern classical guitar shape, or historic classical guitar shape resembling early romantic guitars from France and Italy. Classical guitar strings were once made of catgut and nowadays are made of polymers such as nylon, with a fine silver wire wrap on the bass strings.

 

A guitar family tree can be identified. The flamenco guitar derives from the modern classical, but has differences in material, construction and sound.

 

The term modern classical guitar is sometimes used to distinguish the classical guitar from older forms of guitar, which are in their broadest sense also called classical, or more specifically: early guitars. Examples of early guitars include the 6-string early romantic guitar (c. 1790–1880), and the earlier baroque guitars with 5 courses.

 

Today's modern classical guitar was established by the late designs of the 19th-century Spanish luthier Antonio Torres Jurado.

In addition to shooting with my Mamiya 645 I shot a roll of Delta 100 in my new Meikai EL which is a vintage toy camera from Japan. I developed in ID-11 and pushed to 200. I was really surprised by the results. I got some really good exposures and I shot without a meter. Also the images were pretty sharp for a toy camera and no light leaks.

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.

 

Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!

 

John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.

BANK OF MONTREAL

1899 - Rattenbury Beaux Arts Classical Revival. Although not formally trained in the Beaux Arts form of architecture Frances Rattenbury designed a lovely building in this style. The building reflects a sense of security and stability in a time of growth. The bank first opened, in a barber shop, in 1892.

These are the classical or Italianate gardens at Chiswick House in West London.

 

The gardens were modelled on ancient Roman gardens seen by the Duke of Devonshire in the early eighteenth century, on his Italian tours. This part of the garden is outside the conservatory, with classic urns (more photos to follow of these urns!)

  

The Thai massage is primarily based on an acupressure system of Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine with an added touch of yoga.

Entering a concert venue at a church, I noticed this conehead clinging to a wall. Since it did not have a ticket, I removed it for a photo session at home and released it later.

Hook-faced Conehead - Pyrgocorypha uncinata (female, body length 35 mm--cone to base of ovipositor)

Adults of this species overwinter and breed in spring. Males are always brown, but females can be either green or brown.

In other pictures we have included furniture, plants, and a statue to give you an idea of the size and flexibility of the rooms. We do not see these as conservatories, but as rooms - you can use any furniture, not just wicker.

Classical by inspiration, but in fact some kitsch decorating a cheap restaurant. And 'study' implies some preparation, arrangement - this was a momentous snap of detail that caught my eye. But BW makes everything look 'classic', doesn't it? :)
