Milan (Italian: Milano) is a city in northern Italy, capital of Lombardy, and the second-most populous city in Italy after Rome, with the city proper having a population of 1,372,810 while its metropolitan city has a population of 3,245,308. Its continuously built-up urban area (that stretches beyond the boundaries of the Metropolitan City of Milan) has a population estimated to be about 5,270,000 over 1,891 square kilometres (730 square miles). The wider Milan metropolitan area, known as Greater Milan, is a polycentric metropolitan region that extends over central Lombardy and eastern Piedmont and which counts an estimated total population of 7.5 million, making it by far the largest metropolitan area in Italy and the 54th largest in the world. Milan served as capital of the Western Roman Empire from 286 to 402 and the Duchy of Milan during the medieval period and early modern age.
Milan is considered a leading alpha global city, with strengths in the field of the art, commerce, design, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, services, research and tourism. Its business district hosts Italy's stock exchange and the headquarters of national and international banks and companies. In terms of GDP, it has the third-largest economy among European cities after Paris and London, but the fastest in growth among the three, and is the wealthiest among European non-capital cities. Milan is considered part of the Blue Banana and one of the "Four Motors for Europe".
The city has been recognized as one of the world's four fashion capitals thanks to several international events and fairs, including Milan Fashion Week and the Milan Furniture Fair, which are currently among the world's biggest in terms of revenue, visitors and growth. It hosted the Universal Exposition in 1906 and 2015. The city hosts numerous cultural institutions, academies and universities, with 11% of the national total enrolled students. Milan is the destination of 8 million overseas visitors every year, attracted by its museums and art galleries that boast some of the most important collections in the world, including major works by Leonardo da Vinci. The city is served by a large number of luxury hotels and is the fifth-most starred in the world by Michelin Guide. The city is home to two of Europe's most successful football teams, A.C. Milan and F.C. Internazionale, and one of Italy's main basketball teams, Olimpia Milano.

This photo taken at Wreck Beach represents my attitude right now. Although there was a steady rain falling, it didn’t matter. I’m in a happy mood, enjoying life, and focused on positivity each day.
To recap: On Sunday September 14th, I completed Cycle 8 Week 3. I have multiple myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the blood plasma. It is treatable, but incurable. On Sept 21th I begin my ninth 28 day treatment cycle, 21 days on (Pomalyst chemo pill), then 7 days off. I take dexamethasone, an oral steroid, every Monday.
I’m feeling great and my chemo treatment will continue indefinitely as long as my cancer levels remain low and stable. Thank you for your continual encouragement.

Turkyan è un ragazzo del 1975, Macedone. Lui aveva possedimenti ed una bella casa in Macedonia. Ha perso tutto a causa della guerra. Una persona solare che si intristisce un pò quando parla della sua famiglia (moglie e due figli) rimasti in Macedonia a cui periodicamente spedisce soldi.
Dorme in un rifugio di fortuna e passa una volta alla settimana in Caritas per fare la doccia.
--------------------------
Turkyan is from Macedonia. He used to be rich. He lost everything because of the war.
He is alone in Italy. The wife and the kids are still in Macedonia. Thanks to Caritas he takes a shower once a week.
Una piccola Caritas di un paese di provincia. Uno sparuto gruppo di volontari talvolta ben oltre i 70 anni.
Un gruppo di donne e uomini che si occupa della distribuzione di cibo e di indumenti.
Cinquanta metri quadri ricavati da un piccolo locale con sottoscala al lato di una parrocchia; è qui che ogni settimana si presentano donne e uomini di diverse etnie ed estrazione sociale chiedendo cibo e vestiti.
Scorre in questo angusto spazio tutta l'ingiustizia della moderna società.

A small Caritas charity group in a small provincial village. A scanty group of volunteers, at times aged well over seventy.
A group of men and women taking care of distributing free food and clothes.
Fifty square meters in a tiny structure next to a parish. It is here that every week men and women belonging to different ethnic groups and social ranks turn up, begging for food and clothes.
All the injustice of modern society flows in this tight space.

The first bus in the new Coastliner livery 15986 (YN64 XSO) has now finally had its missing bit of yellow swirl added, the map affixed to the rear and a subtle change to the brand name which is now '700 Coastliner', rather than 'Sussex Coastliner', probably because a third of the route is in Hampshire! This change had been preceded by bus stop flags receiving new '700 Coastliner' branding in the new style, so it's not really a surprise. 15983 (YN64 XSK) at least has also now been fully branded and has '700 Coastliner' branding all round, whereas 15986 still has 'Sussex' on the sides (which you can't see on the picture). It's also now been transferred to Worthing (ex-Portsmouth) and is seen here at Castle Square in Brighton. It's a Scania N230 with Alexander Dennis E400 bodywork. Looks good.
Complete with matching bicycle. From 3 RAW images (Exp -2, 0, +2), Photomatix and Topaz Adjust. Seen at Melbourne GreazeFest 2014.
I’m sitting here on our balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean listening to the waves come crashing in as I write my last 365 post. Today is the day! I finished my 365 in Oregon! A whole year has gone by, it’s amazing how fast time flies and then it’s over.
It’s been a year of learning and growing, a year of sharing life with those I would have never met had it not been for coming to Flickr and then coming across Project 365! and giving that a try.
I never imagined it to turn into what it did, sharing bits of my life whether it be joys, struggles, my faith or failures. I’ve felt blessed to be able to share these bits of my life with who ever came by and I’ve always wanted to be transparent in what I’ve shared and my sole purpose was that maybe, just maybe someone would come by who would need a word of encouragement or who needed to know that yeah we all struggle and fail at times but it’s okay…that’s how we learn and grow and give others opportunity to pick us up and dust us off. I’ve had my up days and down days through doing this project, it hasn’t always been easy, it’s been frustrating at times and my family has had to see me in my not so nice moods when things just weren’t working out. There were times when it became the dreaded word…”project 365.” But I think with anything in life there are the good times and the tough times but its how we manage our way through that with those we love. I must confess I have not always done that gracefully as I’ve written about in numerous posts ;-) I think though as I neared the end I broke through some of that.
So though my husband has taken the brunt of my not so nice attitudes at times, he has been my greatest source of encouragement and I’m thankful for that. He has cheered me on, he has spoken those words “that’s it, you’ll just have to make do with what you’ve got,” he has driven me places, helped me and even shown his face in a number of shots. He has wanted to see me complete this and not just because at times he was sick of it :-) but because he wanted me who can start so many things and not finish them to accomplish this one thing to the fullest. My kids have also been a blessing to me in this, they’ve been excited to see what picture I took or what I wrote and they’ve allowed me to show their faces as well in some of my shots. My friend has also been a great source of encouragement…she would say to me “I’m watching your back” as she followed my stream. And my parents and other family members too, they’ve been excited about this project and that has blessed me. It’s funny how when I started I was scared to tell anyone about it because I thought is this a waste of time and what will they think of me spending all this time on this project, but over the year I’ve been able to break out of that.
I’m also thankful to each of you who have encouraged me along the way, who’ve cheered me on and who’ve spoken words of wisdom…it has meant a lot to me and I’ve felt blessed to be a part of your life here on flickr. I even had the exciting opportunity of meeting one flickr friend. It’s kind of a bittersweet feeling to be finished because it becomes so much a part of your daily life but life changes, seasons come and go and so now I am off to enter a new season, not sure exactly what it will look like but I’m sure over time it will unfold.
So today I end with a jumping for joy shot on the Oregon coast as the waves come crashing in, yes my eyes aren’t fully open (I’m winking at you all) but my smile expresses the joy I wanted to convey. It was fun and it was freeing. I had written my words in the sand, did a few shots and then the water came rushing in and washed my words away as the tide was rising and so I had to move in closer to shore and write my words in the sand a second time. Then after I had finished my jump shots I just stood there and watched as the words were washed away by the rising tide a second time...I thought it fitting as it was my final shot.
365 Complete!

I decided I would push the windows of the second floor in so they open. I think it looks much better.

Completing the trilogy, Air Baltic's 'Estonian' coloured A.220 called in to Edinburgh on the flight from Riga.
Finally finished the landing gear. Very happy with how it turned out... and still amazed that it DID turn out, in any kind of functional form. Now, onto the wings...
CMNL Ukbus 3024 Dennis MPD converted into Stagecoach London's 34366 LV52HGC on Bromley garage route 314 to New Addington.
This and 2 other conversions to 34366 were requested and done for friends.
I have been told that the original bus 34366 has now been sold for preservation.

This is my entry for the Complete The Room Challenge on Modulars by Kristel.
To finish off the room, I added:
- a white carpet (these are newbie parents...),
- a striped area rug,
- a white crib with mobile,
- wall art,
- a diaper pail (those parents should put a lid on that stink...),
- a dresser/changing table combo with a bottle of baby powder and lotion,
- a rocking chair,
- a plant in the window,
- a toy chest stocked with a space shuttle and UFO,
- a shelf showcasing a much too large for baby toy airplane (you know... overeager parents...),
- and finally a kitty wondering where is her baby.
