Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 28 miles (45 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 165,521. It is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people at the 2015 census.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty-six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.
The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961, African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962, a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.
Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

Malbork Castle, Zamek w Malborku
The Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork is a 13th-century Teutonic castle and fortress located near the town of Malbork, Poland. It is the largest castle in the world measured by land area and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wikipedia
It was originally constructed by the Teutonic Knights, a German Catholic religious order of crusaders, in a form of an Ordensburg fortress. The Order named it Marienburg in honour of Mary, mother of Jesus. In 1457, it since served as one of the several Polish royal residences and the seat of Polish offices and institutions to 1772. From then on the castle was under German rule for over 170 years until 1945.
The castle is a classic example of a medieval fortress and, on its completion in 1406, was the world's largest brick castle. UNESCO designated the "Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork" and the Malbork Castle Museum a World Heritage Site in December 1997. It is one of two World Heritage Sites in the region (north-central Poland), together with the "Medieval Town of Toruń", which was founded in 1231.
Malbork Castle is also one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments (Pomnik historii), as designated on 16 September 1994. Its listing is maintained by the National Heritage Board of Poland.
With the rise of Adolf Hitler to power in the early 1930s, the Nazis used the castle as a destination for annual pilgrimages of both the Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls. The Teutonic Castle at Marienburg served as a blueprint for the Order Castles of the Third Reich built under Hitler's reign. In 1945 during World War II combat in the area, more than half the castle was destroyed. At the conclusion of the war, the city of Malbork and the castle became again part of Poland. The castle has been mostly reconstructed, with restoration ongoing since 1962. A new restoration was completed in April 2016. Malbork Castle remains the largest brick complex in Europe.
Ce passage forme le prolongement de la rue de Choiseul, qui porte le nom d'Étienne-François de Choiseul-Beaupré-Stainville, ministre de la Guerre et ministre des Affaires étrangères sous Louis XV.
Le passage Choiseul fut édifié entre 1825 et 1827 à proximité des Grands Boulevards, alors très fréquentés, à l'initiative de la banque Mallet et Cie en vue de réaliser une opération d'ordre spéculatif.
Pour cela, on fit détruire les hôtels de Lionne, de Langlée, de Gesvres (dont le porche constitue encore l’entrée nord du passage) et Radepont, en projetant de construire des immeubles à leur place. Or, seul le passage Choiseul fut bâti finalement.
Les plans ont été dessinés par l'architecte François Mazois1 mais celui-ci ne verra pas l'achèvement de son travail puisqu'il meurt en 1826. La relève est assurée par Antoine Tavernier qui fut chargé de l'achèvement du passage.
Le passage est le plus long des passages couverts parisiens avec une longueur de 190 m pour une largeur de 3,7 m. Il consiste en une enfilade d'arcades sur pilastres au niveau du rez-de-chaussée. Ce dernier et l'entresol sont occupés en majorité par des boutiques tandis que les premier et second étages sont plutôt résidentiels. Il est recouvert d'une verrière qui fut remplacée vers 1907.
This passage forms the extension of the rue de Choiseul, named after Étienne-François de Choiseul-Beaupré-Stainville, Minister of War and Minister of Foreign Affairs under Louis XV.
The Passage Choiseul was built between 1825 and 1827 near the Grands Boulevards, which were very busy at the time, on the initiative of the bank Mallet et Cie in order to carry out a speculative operation.
To this end, the hotels of Lionne, Langlée, Gesvres (whose porch still forms the northern entrance to the passage) and Radepont were demolished, with plans to construct buildings in their place. However, only the Passage Choiseul was finally built.
The plans were drawn up by the architect François Mazois1 but he did not see his work through to completion as he died in 1826. He was succeeded by Antoine Tavernier, who was responsible for completing the passage.
The passage is the longest of the Parisian covered passages with a length of 190 m for a width of 3.7 m. It consists of a series of arcades on pilasters on the ground floor. The ground floor and the mezzanine are mostly occupied by shops, while the first and second floors are more residential. It is covered by a glass roof which was replaced around 1907.
I love these abandoned furniture/appliance finds. Mind you, I think that it's horrible that people dump their old crap like this. But in rural America, THIS is our "art in public places!" ;)

La Santa Iglesia Catedral de la Asunción de la Virgen es la catedral renacentista de Jaén, sede del obispado de Jaén, en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía, España. Se ubica en la plaza de Santa María, frente al Palacio Municipal y el Palacio Episcopal.
La catedral actual fue concebida en el siglo XVI para sustituir al anterior templo gótico del siglo XV. La construcción se prolongó durante varios siglos, a pesar de lo cual la idea original permaneció intacta. Destacan la sala capitular y la sacristía, que son la obra cumbre de Andrés de Vandelvira, y una de la obras más importantes del renacimiento español. También es sobresaliente su fachada principal, una de las principales obras del barroco español, construida tras la consagración del templo en 1660. Igualmente, destaca el coro neoclásico debido a su belleza y al gran número de sitiales que lo convierten en uno de los más grandes de España. Una vez finalizadas las obras del edificio, las mismas continuaron en los siglos siguientes principalmente en la decoración interior y de las capillas. Además, a consecuencia del terremoto de Lisboa de 1755 fueron necesarias obras de consolidación en la fachada norte, así como la construcción de la Iglesia del Sagrario.
Está dedicada a la Asunción de la Virgen desde la consagración, en 1246, de la antigua Mezquita Mayor de la ciudad musulmana, tras la conquista de la misma por el rey santo Fernando III de Castilla. En su interior se custodia, entre otras obras de arte y objetos religiosos, la reliquia del Santo Rostro o «La Verónica», considerada el auténtico rostro de Jesucristo, que habría quedado plasmado en el lienzo con el que la Verónica le secó la cara durante su pasión. Está guardada en la Capilla Mayor, y se expone a veneración pública de los fieles todos los viernes.
La Catedral de Jaén aspira en la actualidad a convertirse en Patrimonio de la Humanidad,1 puesto que sirvió de modelo para la construcción de otras catedrales de España y América.

The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin is the Renaissance cathedral of Jaen, seat of the Bishop of Jaen in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. Located on the Piazza Santa Maria, front of City Hall and the Episcopal Palace.
The present cathedral was conceived in the sixteenth century to replace the previous fifteenth century Gothic church. The construction lasted for several centuries, despite which the original concept remained intact. Highlight the chapter house and sacristy, which are the crowning work of Andres de Vandelvira, and one of the most important works of the Spanish Renaissance. It is also remarkable the main facade, one of the major works of Spanish Baroque, built after the consecration of the temple in 1660. It also stresses the neoclassical choir because of its beauty and the large number of stalls, making it one of the largest in Spain. Following completion of building works, they continued in subsequent centuries mainly in the interior decoration and chapels. Moreover, following the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 were necessary consolidation work on the north side and the construction of the Tabernacle Church.
It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin from the consecration, in 1246, the former Great Mosque of the Muslim city after the conquest of it by King Saint Ferdinand III of Castile. Inside custody, among other works of art and religious objects, the relic of the Holy Face and "Veronica", considered the true face of Jesus Christ, who have been captured on the canvas with which Veronica wiped the face during his passion. Is stored in the Chapel, and exposed to public veneration of the faithful every Friday.
Jaén Cathedral today aspires to become a World Heritage Site, 1 served as a model for the building of other cathedrals of Spain and America.

I was lucky enough to get a beautiful sunset with some interesting clouds in the sky. I was waiting for the sun to hide behind the clouds, but there were a lot of people at the site while I was taking the shot. Therefore I decided to lower both the highlights and shadows in post-processing, to create silhouettes of the ship and the remaining foreground features on the right.
Thames Travel run a generally half hourly service on X39/40 between Oxford and Reading via Wallingford.
They've recently taken four 'unwanted' E400s into their fleet, these were intended for Southern Vectis (hence livery) but originally borrowed by Oxford to work on the Bicester to Oxford Rail Replacement.
Following the completion of that project, and also some use on a Park & Ride they've now transferred within Go Ahead to Thames Travel, where they've also been renumbered from 1581-1584 to 251-254.
I was aware from an earlier sighting that 251 should work the 14.10 departure from Oxford and sure enough here it is prior to departure.

Russell Investments Center is a skyscraper in Seattle, Washington. On its completion, it was the largest skyscraper to mark the downtown Seattle skyline in nearly 15 years, and is the city's sixth tallest building, at 182.18 m (597.7 ft), with 42 floors. It was originally named WaMu Center because it was built to become the new headquarters for Washington Mutual (WaMu). Major construction ended in early 2006, with minor construction continuing into the fall. Tenants from Washington Mutual began to move into the tower in March 2006. On September 25, 2008, Washington Mutual failed, and its assets and accounts were sold to JPMorgan Chase by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. On June 1, 2009, the building was renamed Chase Center.[4] On September 9, 2009, the building was purchased by Northwestern Mutual of Milwaukee. Russell Investments, a Northwestern Mutual subsidiary, made the building its corporate headquarters upon relocation from Tacoma, Washington, and renamed the building the Russell Investments Center. In December 2014 Zillow became the largest tenant in the building.

Developed by Wright Runstad & Company, construction began in 1986 and finished in 1988. 1201 Third Avenue was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and The McKinley Architects. The building was the world headquarters of the financial company Washington Mutual from the building's opening until the company moved into the WaMu Center across the street in 2006.
Near the completion of her late October nail appointment, Ms. Essay was surprised by the nail stylist with a gift of a U.S. Misses Size 6 black jeweled party dress that had been worn by the stylist mother to a New Year’s Eve party many years ago. The dress was too small for the stylist to wear and knowing that Ms. Essay was a Size 6, the stylist gave the dress to Essay as a gift.
When returning home in late October, Ms. Essay put the dress on herself and found it fit perfectly. A photo was shared along with a promise to the stylist that Ms. Essay would wear this gifted dress to the next scheduled biweekly nail appointment in early November.
This pose in early November was captured in Ms. Essay’s townhome near the first-floor closet.

In 1897 a growing Boston population needed more water. The solution became a dam at the Nashua River, creating the Wachusett Reservoir. At the time of its completion in 1905 it was the largest public water supply in the world.
The surrounding towns of Boylston, West Boylston, Clinton, and Sterling were forced to move. Any wooden structure needed to be torn down and removed from the area, lest bacteria break down the organic material and ruin the water supply. One of the few stone buildings in the area was left standing as a memorial to the homes and businesses lost in the reservoir.
The Old Stone Church has stood in this location since 1892 and serves as a dramatic location for photographers in the area. Here, lightpainting highlights the stone structure while the interior lights spill into the foreground.
Not quite, there are several other projects on the go but the little city by the sea is beginning to look BIG
Located in the right transept, it is the mausoleum which was to be the tomb of Pope Julius II. Michelangelo was commissioned in 1505, the factory was interrupted several times and completion took place in 1545, thirty years after the death of Julius II.
The final version, after the project had the sixth amendment, was seven statues including the famous Moses by Michelangelo.
The sarcophagus, which was to contain the body of Julius II, is located above the Moses. On the lid, a large statue of the Pope lying on its side. Recent studies attribute it to Michelangelo's hand.
The Rachel (Contemplative Life), is positioned at the right hand of Moses while Lia (Active Living) to the left. Both by Michelangelo and completed by Raffaele Sinibaldi said Raffaello da Montelupo
The "Sibilla", at the right hand of the statue of Julius II, and the "Prophet" to the right, are the work of Raffaello da Montelupo.
"Madonna and Child" placed in the middle at the top, is the work of Domenico Fancelli said Scherano from Settignano
-------------------------------------------
Situato nel braccio del transetto destro, si trova il Mausoleo che doveva essere la tomba di Papa Giulio II. Fu commissionato a Michelangelo nel 1505, la fabbrica fu interrotta diverse volte e il completamento avvenne nel 1545, trentadue anni dopo la morte di Giulio II.
La versione definitiva, dopo che il progetto ebbe la sesta modifica, fu di sette statue tra cui il famoso Mosè di Michelangelo.
Il sarcofago che doveva contenere il corpo di Giulio II, è posto sopra al Mosè. Sopra il coperchio, una grande statua che rappresenta il Papa sdraiato su un fianco. Studi recenti attribuiscono l'opera alla mano di Michelangelo.
La Rachele ( Vita contemplativa), è posizionata alla destra del Mosè mentre la Lia (Vita attiva) alla sinistra. Entrambe eseguite da Michelangelo e completate da Raffaele Sinibaldi detto Raffaello da Montelupo
La "Sibilla", alla destra della statua di Giulio II, e Il "Profeta" alla destra, sono opera di Raffaello da Montelupo.
La "Madonna col Bambino" posizionata al centro in alto, è opera di Domenico Fancelli detto Scherano da Settignano
Harvest completion is a satisfing feeling, but only for a short while. There is next season planting to get the ground ready for, probably some equipment to be repaired and if you are raising livestock well, they get hungry just like kids. Harvest completion also means the holidays are approaching and that means time with family and friends.

The completion of my LNER/BR Gresley V2 2-6-2. I started work on this model months ago and haven't stopped work on it until now. It runs very smoothly, going around curves and points with ease. This model was originally designed with smaller wheels, but when changed to the XL wheels the whole model looked much more realistic.
The tender was also another challenging component, using the last of my dark green and orange pieces to create the lines on the sides of the tender.
This model so far is my most accurate and smoothest (in terms of running) yet. My next steamer will be a streamlined LMS coronation class, along with finishing my P2. Enjoy!

Dates for the completion of 207 W. Superior St. vary from 1872 to 1896. A demolition permit was issued for the property in April 2024. The adjacent building, a pre-Chicago Fire structure next door at 720 N. Wells St., will also be demolished.
NOTE: A revision permit was issued in January 2026 for The Lake, a new social club under construction at 205 W. Superior St. With progress now up to the third floor on the exterior, the permit calls for “exterior material changes and architectural details.” The project’s rendering, which has existed for a few years, displays a design by New York City’s Robert A.M. Stern Architects, with Chicago’s GREC Architects as the architect of record. It shows a four-story building topped by a partial fifth level, with a connected four-story portion in a different design. The arched windows on the second floor are in line with what can be seen now at the construction site; however, there is no information on the expected changes.
Standing at the Derwent Mouth having completed our journey from Ladybower Reservoir, 55 miles later. Now to find a new adventure that will keep us going!
With the completion of the Truxton Flyover, left handed running has been restored to the Seligman Sub as seen here just east of Williams Junction. With the heat waves rolling on the wind, BNSF 6615, complete with a retro number board, continues to fight the 1.4% grade up the west side of the AZ Divide. On Main 2 a double yellow is shown, followed by a red over green, for a quickly approaching Phoenix bound ballast train that will take a left onto the Peavine Sub.
ACRYLIC ON WOOD COMPOSITE PANEL 16" X 20" (40.6 cm x 50.8 cm)

A bone-yard is a graveyard, and represents death. We walk a path from birth to death starting the day we're born. Some walks are further than others. Some hardly get a few steps. None of our roads seem very long. Hardly long enough to understand the point of the walk.
This painting is self-allegory. Personal feelings at the time of painting it. It's depressing. It's a little scary. My life is full of death and dieing these past several years. Dieing people are all around me. In the past 33 months there have been three deaths of people close to me. Not good deaths. Horrible deaths.
Most deaths are horrible. Often, people don't know that. Especially when you are young, and not exposed to very much dieing, (if you are lucky) you think of death as happening in a nicer way than it usually happens. Either "crash and burn heroic death", or "die in your sleep with your loving family" death. Unfortunately, the reality as I've seen it is that death is appalling. The best death is a quick and unforeseen death. This sort of dieing is the rarest of the rare. Quick and unforeseen death hardly ever happens.
Cancer took two of these people who died in my sphere. This walker in my painting is pregnant with cancer. Cancer gets it's hooks into you and weaves itself inside you so densely that there's no way to cut it out without killing you. What could be more frightening than to realize you have cancer growing inside you? That thing on/in, and which is her belly is my metaphoric cancer creature.
The bones strewn upon the road are a metaphor for the dead hopes and dreams we leave behind us on our walk.
I have sacrificed many things I hold dear as I have ventured on my walk. The severed limbs also represent this for me. I have sacrificed and compromised on my walk many more times than I ever thought I would. Allegorically speaking, I'm headed to becoming a torso with four stumps. (ha! ha!)
The self immolation of the hand is also an analogy for the conscience decision to part with important ideals for the sake of "survival". It seems at odds to say one must sacrifice the things important in life to keep living it, yet this seems to be the norm. I can speak only for myself of course.
I feel myself becoming crippled. I'm deteriorating myself as I walk down this road. Death can be a slow process. A piece here, and a piece there, and some day there's nothing left. All these pieces are left on the road. The bone-yard road is strewn with the detritus of life's cast off ambitions.
Who are the fat cretins on the road,? They are me, of course. They are me as I see myself in a mirror; flaccid, enervated and unfit. Grotesque and ridiculous. Blemished hairy and stinking. A gross flesh-bag of putrified sludge. Ugly beyond redemption. I've got a fishbowl on my head because I am an alien.
Why is the city burning? The city of Los Angeles is always on fire. It is always hot and dry and smoking. The city terrorizes me. The people chill and disgust me. Los Angeles is a smoking poisonous horror. A monstrosity behind a mask. Dangerous, the hearts of it's citizens are filled with ignorance and malice. Fleeting superficial beauty under a poison cloud. LA is a mutant machine that runs on the blood and souls of men and women.
I live in a hideout in the hills, off a dirt road. I have posted hand painted signs of danger to drivers who mistakenly approach my dead end road; "DO NOT ENTER, YOU WILL GET STUCK! LOOSE GRAVEL! TURN BACK!" That keeps most people away. I am reluctant to leave my hideaway.
As long as that candle in the walkers head is alight, I am still me. I will keep walking.
NOTE: this painting will be shown at the upcoming group art exhibition; "SAY WHEN" at the "BOLD HYPE GALLERY" , April 4th Through May 10th, 2009 in Orlando Florida. For more info check out the website; www.boldhype.com
