The Poet clings on to the Aarhus University wall... It's a perfect metaphor for the human condition. Attempting something seemingly impossible, ill prepared while the elements have at you. :)
We went thrifting this weekend....
The little springy "boing boing" action of the tail is toooo cute! It was in near perfect condition too. Score!

The Torre Agbar, or Agbar Tower, is a 21st century skyscraper at Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel and built by Dragados. It opened in June 2005 and it was inaugurated officially by the King of Spain on 16 September 2005. The Torre Agbar is located in the Poblenou neighborhood of Barcelona and is named after its owners, the Agbar Group, a holding company whose interests include the Barcelona water company Aguas de Barcelona.
According to Nouvel, the shape of the Torre Agbar was inspired by the mountains of Montserrat that surround Barcelona, and by the shape of a geyser of water rising into the air. Jean Nouvel, in an interview, described it as having a phallic character. As a result of its unusual shape, the building is known by several nicknames, such as "el supositori" (the suppository), "l'obús" (the shell) and some more scatological ones.[5] It has 30,000 m² (323,000 ft²) of above-ground office space, 3,210 m² (34,500 ft²) of technical service floors with installations and 8,351 m² (90,000 ft²) of services, including an auditorium. The Agbar Tower measures 144.4 m (473.75 ft) in height[7] and consists of 38 storeys, including four underground levels.
Its design combines a number of different architectural concepts, resulting in a striking structure built with reinforced concrete, covered with a facade of glass, and over 4,500 window openings cut out of the structural concrete. The building stands out in Barcelona; it is the third tallest building in Barcelona, only after the Arts Hotel and the Mapfre Tower, both 154 m (505.25 ft).
A unique feature of the building is its nocturnal illumination. It has 4,500 LED luminous devices that allow generation of luminous images in the facade. In addition, it has temperature sensors in the outside of the tower that regulate the opening and closing of the glass blinds of the facade of the building, reducing the consumption of energy for air conditioning. It will house the head office of the Aigües de Barcelona Group (Spanish: "Aguas de Barcelona", English: "Waters of Barcelona").
A Mexican gray wolf keeps cool above a waterfall at the zoo. The wolves are very timid; I usually find them sleeping under the trees, far from the space provided to view them. I hope this wolf was able to keep cool, as I was also thankful for the photo opportunity!
Only reason why this is probably still here is B/C it is in a church.
Places of worship are a great trove of vintage A/C's my friends.

Feet up, keyboard in lap...watching tv...air conditioner on...it's 93 outside...and how's YOUR day going?
Following on from my visit to Willesden depot on 10th April 1965, an illicit visit to Old Oak Common was next on the agenda, access gained from the hole in the wall alongside the Grand Union Canal. I remember the awe inspiring feeling as I first set foot into the series of roundhouses, still housing steam locomotives at that stage in early-1965, but generally in poor external condition. Mostly in steam were 61XX 'Tanner Ones' and the Pannier Tanks used on the empty stock workings, plus some 'Hall' and 'Castle' Classes I recall. I had already used up almost half of my 12-exposure 127 roll film in Willesden shed and I didn't take one shot of a steam locomotive on this, my first visit to '81A'. Instead, I just couldn't ignore my other star 'cop of the day', namely D1000 'Western Enterprise'. Clearly, my focus was on the iconic number, at that time meaning far more to me with my newly-purchased Ian Allan ABC than a satisfying photographic composition. It was stabled in a line of locomotives, but I still took it wrong side for the sun - photographic techniques were still to be learned! At the age of twelve, unaccompanied and alone here, making this trip to the London sheds and around London was really quite enterprising I suppose. This was my first ever diesel locomotive shot taken. Very happy memories!

Henrietta is a character from a Anime “Gunslinger Girls” in the Anime she was super adorable and really cute and they lift it open so that she could have a Happier future and that is were I started her up from. The Manga they had Jose killed her to end her Suffering and because she attacked him as she was having a flash back of her past and it really upset me so I just pretend that did not happen. I Started them off working for the government but win they are sent to Kill 2 children Jose finely gives in and decides he no long can live this life and nor can he force Henrietta to be the tool of murder for the government. In steed of reporting back the failure to his government agency he lift his country with Henrietta in hand. In hopes of giving her a better life.
But Henrietta is a trained Agent and was trained to follow the government and to follow Jose knowing that if this 2 ever conflicted it could set Henrietta into a state of Suicide not knowing what to do and shutting her self down as a result. So Jose told her that she is on a mission infiltrate a place called school were she is to attain the knowledge and to prove she did her job right that Jose would receive something called a Report card showing him how well she is doing. And she really dose her very best because making Jose is her most favorite thing in the world. Will Little Henrietta learn the lesson of living a happy life or will she be haunted by her unstable and depression till the end. Find out and follow her story after all more friends she has the better her chances are. ^_^
There is a few things that differ Like I gave her a monkey to play with because it was so cute and I all ways thought she needed a plushy in the Anime. And she was a little shorter I was thinking of getting her a smaller body but than her skirt might look really big on her. And there may be a few small details I might of mist or had to add on if it was not covered in the Anime.
It was a really cute Anime I know how it sounds but really she is super adorable throw the hole thing. ^_^
Our air con systems will outlast you! Promise.
Urbex is a shortened form of "Urban Exploration". It is the act of going to and exploring lost and forgotten places that are not normally visited or often even accessible to the general public. Such places might include abandoned factories, hospitals, schools, offices and other derelict buildings, unused nuclear bunkers, old military buildings, disused rail yards etc. The REAL urbexer will NOT break anything in (or to get into) these places. In fact it's considered VERY bad form. But if access can be obtained without causing any damage, then that's considered fair game. Vandalism and graffiti are NOT allowed. It's like nature photography: Leave only footprints, take only pictures. See more Urbex here.

The reason the grain empties was "creaking" through town is evident in the condition of this track...the NorthWestern's main route between the Twin Ports and the Twin Cities. If you're a purist, this is actually the Chicago St.Paul Minneapolis & Omaha - "The Omaha" - and it still exists in various business dealings and contracts as such, many years after it officially disappeared around 1960. If you see a Union Pacific covered hopper with the initials "CMO" above the number, it's actually an "Omaha" car. The VW with the Nebraska plates on the right is mine, of course.
Bought these and arrived in two days! One is in mint condition and other has some paint peeling but still in nice condition and they are all complete! Dated 1984:)
Perhaps it's time for a couple of words about this series...
I was moved to explore how our matriarchy, with our ever-changing roles in our society, reacts to change.
My observations come from interactions on the media, and social networks, which led to the exploration of a collective reaction towards individuals that break the norm, and yet are still somehow a part of our hearts and souls.
Typical condition for its age. Although its not as bad as most i see. Original hubcaps which look very cool in my opinion. These are really starting to thin out now. Plz comment
After more than 30 years still in a perfect condition!
Most Ducato's I know have the double rear door option. This one is special to me.
The Ducato was developed in cooperation with PSA Peugeot Citroën and launched in 1981 simultaneously as a Peugeot J5, Citroën C25, Alfa Romeo AR6 (only in Italy) and as a Talbot Express in the UK.
The Ducato was very popular in Europe for motorhome conversions.
Production Ducato 1st gen.: 1981-1993.
Number seen: about 15, but just 1 as a minibus.

These panels were put back together like the rest of the Loggetta when the bell tower collapsed beside it on July 14th 1902.
Here is a bit of history from Wikipedia:
When the lean-to stalls were removed from the sides of the bell tower in 1873–1874, the base was discovered to be in poor condition. But restoration was limited to repairing surface damage. Similarly, excavations in Saint Mark's Square in 1885 raised concerns for the state of the foundation and the stability of the structure. Yet inspection reports by engineers and architects in 1892 and 1898 were reassuring that the tower was in no danger. Ensuing restoration was sporadic and primarily involved the substitution of weathered bricks.
In July 1902, work was underway to repair the roof of the loggetta. The girder supporting the roof where it rested against the tower was removed by cutting a large fissure, roughly 40 centimetres (16 in) in height and 30 centimetres (12 in) in depth, at the base of the tower. On 7 July, it was observed that the shaft of the tower trembled as workmen hammered the new girder into place. Glass tell-tales were inserted into crevices in order to monitor the shifting of the tower. Several of these were found broken the next day.
By 12 July, a large crack had formed on the northern side of the tower, running almost the entire height of the brick shaft. More accurate plaster tell-tales were inserted into the crevices. Although a technical commission was immediately formed, it determined that there was no threat to the structure. Nevertheless, wooden barricades were erected to keep onlookers at a safe distance as pieces of mortar began to break off from the widening gap and fall to the square below. Access to the tower was prohibited, and only the bell signalling the beginning and end of the work day was to be rung in order to limit vibrations. The following day, Sunday, the customary band in Saint Mark's Square was cancelled for the same reason.
The next morning, Monday 14 July, the latest tell-tales were all discovered broken; the maximum crack that had developed since the preceding day was 0.75 centimetres (0.30 in). At 09:30 it was ordered that the square be evacuated. Stones began to fall at 9:47, and at 9:53 the entire bell tower collapsed. Subsequent investigations determined that the immediate cause of the disaster was the collapse of the access ramps located between the inner and outer shafts of the tower. Beginning at the upper levels, these fell one by one atop the others. Without their support, the outer shaft then caved in against the inner shaft. Because of this implosion and the tower's isolated position, the resulting damage was relatively limited. Apart from the loggetta, which was completely demolished, only a corner of the historical building of the Marciana Library was destroyed. The basilica itself was unharmed, although the pietra del bando, a large porphyry column from which laws used to be read, was damaged. The sole fatality was the custodian's cat. That same evening, the communal council convened in an emergency session and voted unanimously to rebuild the bell tower exactly as it was. The council also approved an initial 500,000 Lire for the reconstruction. The province of Venice followed with 200,000 Lire on 22 July. Although a few detractors of the reconstruction, including the editorialist of the Daily Express and Maurice Barrès, claimed that the square was more beautiful without the tower and that any replica would have no historical value, "dov’era e com’era" ("where it was and how it was") was the prevailing sentiment.

Stevan Dohanos (1907 – 1994) was born in Lorain, Ohio and grew up a great admirer of Norman Rockwell, going so far as to copy his Saturday Evening Post cover illustrations in crayon that he sold to friends, relatives, and co-workers. Little did he know he would develop a close personal friendship with Rockwell as his own art graced the Post’s cover 123 times over the course of his lifetime.
During World War II, Dohanos aided the war effort by painting recruitment posters and wall murals for federal buildings. He also designed stamps for the federal government which he did the rest of his life. He oversaw the art design for over 300 stamps, including the 1967 John F. Kennedy commemorative stamp.
As magazine covers turned toward photography and away from illustrations, Dohanos changed careers and did film art for such classics as “White Christmas.”

3. A Stellar in spectacular condition, as new, without a mark on it! One of my favourite finds of the trip, I do keep an eye out for UK-based examples that may crop up for sale - one of the 26 left.
Perhaps I need to search a little further afield? Maybe on an international scale? Preferably not on an interstellar scale...
PS. A big thanks to my partner, who appears in every single photo of this Stellar (strategically cropped out). The owner was in that office!

I was cleaning some hubcaps, when dad's customer came with his car. When he saw me, he walked back to car and took this from trunk and said: there's a hubcap I found for you a while ago. I was really surprised as these rarely fall off and it has everything perfect on it not even ring out from any clips. The front Is in near mint condition too so really great! After Cleaning
The restoration of the organ whipped up a storm of controversy.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frauenkirche,_Dresden
www.mz.de/kultur/dresdner-frauenkirche-orgelstreit-als-gr...
grantmacdonald.com/blogs/blog/blood-sweat-and-tears-the-d...
'Builders decided not to reproduce the 1736 Gottfried Silbermann organ, despite the fact that the original design papers, description, and details exist, giving rise to the Dresden organ dispute ("Dresdner Orgelstreit").' [from the above Wikipedia link].
Here's the full on complaint about the organ restoration (in German) – www.bach-cantatas.com/teritowe/frkgbcwd.htm There are some very prominent musicians who have signed their names to this letter, which would certainly make you think twice about what you were doing.
The issue goes along the following lines: 'Reasons were given for the departure from the faithful replica of the Silbermann organ from 1732-36, which were exhaustively refuted by internationally prominent organists, organ builders and organ scientists. The reference to the supposedly insufficient documentation of the original condition shows ignorance or conscious ignorance of the state of research. The fear that only a significantly limited musical repertoire can be played on an organ of the late Silbermann style can be refuted by looking at the early Silbermann organ in Freiberg Cathedral, as well as numerous other historical organs. The unique harmony of recreated space and instrument that can be achieved in the Frauenkirche far outweighs the loss of an adequate representation of romantic and newer organ literature (which is possible in many places).'
