Clarke Quay is a unique, conserved historical landmark located along the Singapore River.
This photograph was taken at dusk, with remaining colours in the cloud formations. The open spaces of the Clarke Quay complex, with rows of conserved buildings, were covered by structures above the roof level. There were bridges that link the Riverside Point to Clarke Quay.
Many “umbrellas” were provided along the river bank to offer shade or rain cover to diners and visitors. Water taxis plied along the River to provide a convenient way for visitors to appreciate the old and new landmarks. This photograph captured the light trails of one of the water taxis approaching the illuminated bridge.

Clarke Quay is a unique, conserved historical landmark located along the Singapore River. This photograph with reflections in the River was taken during blue hour. The open spaces of the Clarke Quay complex, with rows of conserved buildings, are covered by structures above the roof level. The Riverside Point, seen on the left, is linked to Clarke Quay by two bridges.
C'est la première cave d'Afrique du Nord à obtenir la classification en « Château » et à être protégée par l'AOC Coteaux de l'Atlas, avec la mention « premier cru ».
La réalisation du domaine a duré trois ans et a demandé près de 10 millions d'euros d'investissement. Elle utilise la structure initiale, mise en place par les français au temps du protectorat. Les celliers de Meknès l'ont modernisé. Les caves historiques datant du protectorat ont été conservées et portent toujours les noms de leurs constructeurs. Elles servent aujourd'hui au stockage des vins.
On the day my wife and I visited the Toledo Zoo and Aquarium, the Victorian-style Conservatory was closed for some type of maintenance.
The Toledo Zoo, (Toledo, Ohio) was opened in 1900.
Kirk's dik dik (Madoqua kirkii), a small antelope standing 14-18 inches tall and weighing ~6-13 lbs. These East African natives are highly adapted to surviving in their arid habitats. They have a hairy proboscis with tiny, slit-like nostrils that helps keep them cool and conserve water. Samburu national Reserve,Kenya, Africa. Conservation Status: Least Concern
Seule demeure médiévale d’importance conservée à Paris avec l’hôtel de Cluny, l’hôtel de Sens s’élève sur l’emplacement de l’hôtel d’Estomesnil qui avait été donné par Charles V à Guillaume de Melun, archevêque de Sens, dont Paris n’était alors qu’un évêché. Il fallait aux archevêques de Sens, appelés plusieurs fois par an à Paris, une résidence digne de leur rang. A partir de 1475, Tristan de Salazar, neuvième archevêque de Sens, agrandit l’hôtel et fit entreprendre des travaux qui durèrent jusqu’en 1507. La nouvelle construction alliait aux caractères spécifiques de l’architecture civile médiévale les premières manifestations de la Renaissance.
C’est dans cet hôtel qu’eut lieu en février 1528 « le concile de Sens », présidé par le cardinal Duprat, chancelier de François Ier, qui condamna Luther et les thèses réformées. C’est également dans cet hôtel que Marguerite de Valois, « la Reine Margot », première épouse d’Henri IV, fut hébergée à son retour d’exil en Auvergne en 1605. Il y recevait régulièrement son amant, Gabriel Dat de Julien qui fut tué d’un coup de pistolet devant la porte de l’hôtel. L’hôtel sera décapité à l’endroit où le crime fut commis. Bien que la demeure resta propriété du diocèse de Sens jusqu’à la Révolution, elle fut louée dès 1622, date à laquelle Paris fut élevée au rang d’archevêché. Témoin des désastres qu’occasionna la Révolution, le décor sculpté fut gratté trois mois durant par des révolutionnaires.
Malgré une première restauration durant le règne de Louis Philippe, l’hôtel retombe en déchéance et subit à nouveau de nombreuses mutilations, ici encore dues à une occupation industrielle : après une blanchisserie, une fabrique de conserves, ou un aubergiste c’est la confiturerie Saint James s’y établie un moment. La Ville de Paris acheta l’hôtel en 1911. Les travaux de restauration s’étalèrent de 1936 à 1962, date à laquelle la Bibliothèque Forney, spécialisée dans les arts décoratifs, y élu domicile. L’hôtel a conservé son ancienne disposition avec une porte à Tourelles s’ouvrant sur une cour irrégulière autour de laquelle sont élevés divers bâtiments. Il subsiste quelques vestiges de la chapelle abattue au XIXe siècle. Un boulet de canon est toujours enchâssé dans la façade du bâtiment côté rue. Il fut tiré à l’occasion des « 3 glorieuses », journées révolutionnaires de juillet 1830.
The Black Tower (Zwarte Toren, Tour Noire) is a medieval tower in Brussels. It's one of the best conserved remains of the first fortifications of Brussels, built at the start of the 13th century. It is located behind the Sainte-Catherine Church in the Rue de la Vierge Noire (Zwarte Maagd Straat).

Please remember to conserve water we have a global problem and in order to solve it we must use water wisely and find ways to share it with those who have little or none.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
D'une largeur de 20m pour une hauteur conservée de 14,50m, la porte Saint-André permettait de franchir les murailles de la cité d'Au-gustodunum. Elle est construite en grand appareil de calcaire pour le rez-de-chaussée et sa galerie, édifiée en grès, pourrait avoir été reconstruite à la fin de l'époque romaine. De part et d'autre, les pas-sages piétons forment une avancée par rapport aux passages cen-traux destinés aux charriots. La tour de flanquement droite est par-faitement conservée. Cette tour, construite en petit appareil comme le rempart, a été convertie au Moyen-âge en église dédié à Saint-André. Aujourd'hui, cette partie de bâtiment abrite le temple protes-tant, réputé être le plus ancien de France.
A row of three charming hundred over years old conserved buildings, they originally served as Warehouses, the river being their lifeline. Later, they were turned into a Discotheque, now into a Hotel.

Wild turkeys are powerful fliers, especially for short distances. Speeds of up to 55 mph have been observed. To conserve energy, wild turkeys primarily walk. They spend most of their time on the ground, where they search for acorns, seeds, fruits, insects, leaves, and small vertebrates. They can easily cover several hundred acres in a day.
Wild turkeys are social animals and typically flock together in groups numbering just a few birds to as many as 20 or more. They are extremely wary and will run away or fly to a tree to escape danger. For safety from ground predators, wild turkeys roost at night in trees within thicker forest stands.
Florida is home to two subspecies of wild turkey — the eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) and the Osceola or Florida wild turkey. The Florida wild turkey is best distinguished from the eastern subspecies, which it closely resembles, by the white barring on its wing feathers. On Florida wild turkeys, the white bars on the primary wing feathers are narrower than the black bars and are irregular or broken, which tends to give the wing an overall darker appearance compared to eastern wild turkeys.
The Florida wild turkey is found only in peninsular Florida. North of the peninsula and across the Florida panhandle, it interbreeds with the eastern subspecies.
The wild turkey is a woodlands bird and prefers open forests and forest edges and openings. They are considered a generalist species meaning they do not require specialized food or a particular vegetation community to survive. Consequently, they occur throughout Florida in any suitable habitat.
I found these two in a large group of about 20 just off of Peavine Road In Osceola County, Florida.
Cabo de Gata is a Spanish town and neighborhood in the province of Almería in the autonomous community of Andalusia belonging to the municipality of Almería. Its population in 2014 was 1583 inhabitants.
Juan Goytisolo, described his architecture: "the houses are rectangular, white, they almost resemble forts." Of that architecture of the fields of Níjar practically nothing is conserved, being some isolated house with these characteristics. The main monuments are:
San Miguel Tower
Church of Cabo de Gata. The church was built in the nineteenth century, around 1855. It lacks a cover and its facade is crowned by a bell tower with three arches with bells. The interior is a rectangular nave with diaphragm arches and stone pillars, the chapel of the Virgen del Mar being located in the background. It is surrounded by an exterior courtyard where mass is celebrated in summer.
Uncle Frasquito's Mill. It is an old windmill located in the urban core at a small elevation. It has lost the blades and there is only the cube that has been enabled as housing.
Despite having several elements of ethnological interest, these are not valued or signaled. A ferris wheel and several wells stand out. The Association of Neighbors Las Sirenas called for the value of them as a tourist resource.
Cabo de Gata es una localidad y barriada española de la provincia de Almería en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía perteneciente al municipio de Almería. Su población en 2014 fue de 1583 habitantes .
Juan Goytisolo, describió su arquitectura:"las casas son rectangulares,blancas,se asemejan casi fortines". De esa arquitectura de los campos de Níjar ya no se conserva prácticamente nada, quedando alguna vivienda aisladas con dichas características. Los principales monumentos son:
Torreón de San Miguel
Iglesia de Cabo de Gata. La iglesia fuer construida en el siglo XIX, alrededor de 1855. Carece de portada y su fachada está coronada por una espadaña de tres arcos con campanas. El interior es una nave rectangular con arcos de diafragma y pilares de cantería, situándose al fondo la capilla de la Virgen del Mar. Está rodeada por un patio exterior donde se celebra misa en época estival.
Molino del Tío Frasquito. Es un antiguo molino de viento situado en el núcleo urbano en una pequeña elevación. Ha perdido las aspas y solamente queda el cubo que ha sido habilitado como vivienda.
A pesar de tener varios elementos de interés etnológico, estos no se encuentran puestos en valor ni señalizados. Destacan una noria y varios pozos. La Asociación de Vecinos Las Sirenas pidió la puesta en valor de los mismos como recurso turístico. ( Fuente: Wikipedia)

Near to tourist shopping district Ximending, this is one area with old charm conserved buildings and has many camera shops, I was looking for a camera bag.
The Florida scrub-jay is protected by the U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty Act. It is also protected as a Threatened species by the Federal Endangered Species Act and as a Federally-designated Threatened species by Florida’s Endangered and Threatened Species Rule. Prescribed burning is an essential element to conserving the Florida scrub-jay. ~ MyFWC

Doi Inthanon is the highest mountain in Thailand. In 1954, the forests around Doi Inthanon were conserved, creating Doi Inthanon National Park, as one of the original 14 national parks of Thailand.
On the main road to the summit of Doi Inthanon stand two adjacent chedis, one called Naphamethinidon, meaning "by the strength of the land and air", and the other, Naphaphonphumisiri, meaning "being the strength of the air and the grace of the land". These temples were built to honour the 60th birthday anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej in 1987, and the 60th birthday anniversary of Queen Sirikit in 1992, respectively.
Now regarding the image: It is pano shot of 4 images each taken at 15mm, F/8, 1/125 Sec, ISO 100 with exposure bias set at +0.7 step - all handheld. This picture was taken from a small cliff near by the campus, one has to climb up here in order to capture the full panoramic view of this beautiful place!
The weather was very foggy and the views were not clear. We were waiting for the fog to get clear as it was constantly moving and clearing for few minutes in-between.

Bahla Fort (Qal'at Bahla) is one of four historic fortresses situated at the foot of the Djebel Akhdar highlands in Oman. It was built in the 13th and 14th centuries, when the oasis of Bahla was prosperous under the control of the Banu Nabhan tribe. The fort's ruined adobe walls and towers rise some 165 feet above its sandstone foundations. Nearby to the southwest is the Friday Mosque with a 14th-century sculpted mihrab. The fort was not restored or conserved before 1987, and had fallen into a parlous state, with parts of the walls collapsing each year in the rainy season. The fort became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. It was included in the List of World Heritage in Danger from 1988. Restoration works began in the 1990s, and nearly $9m were spent by the Omani government from 1993 to 1999. It remained covered with scaffolding and closed to tourists for many years. It was removed from the list of endangered sites in 2004.

The roseate spoonbill is sometimes placed in its own genus - Ajaja. A 2010 study of mitochondrial DNA of the spoonbills by Chesser and colleagues found that the roseate and yellow-billed spoonbills were each other's closest relatives, and the two were descended from an early offshoot from the ancestors of the other four spoonbill species. They felt the genetic evidence meant it was equally valid to consider all six to be classified within the genus Platalea or alternatively the two placed in the monotypic genera Platibis and Ajaja, respectively. However, as the six species were so similar morphologically, keeping them within the one genus made more sense.[6]
Even at rest like this example Oystercatchers seem to be able token an eye on their surroundings. They normally take rest when the mudflats they feed upon are flooded and it is typical for them to conserve heat by standing on just one leg and tucking their beak into the feathers on their back.

The house conserves both the memory of Gaudí and many examples of furniture and other objects that he designed. Crucial to forming an idea of how the great Catalan architect worked, these works also illustrate the craft production system in Catalonia during the Art Nouveau period.
The original purpose of the building – that of acting as a “show house” for Park Güell – gives the site added value. Although it is a public space today, Park Güell, one of Gaudí’s major undertakings, was originally planned as a private residential area.
Florida Scrub Jay ~ Aphelocoma coerulescens~ Bold, blue-and-gray jay of oak scrub in central Florida. Juveniles have browner head and back than adults. Lacks crest and patterning on the wings and tail seen on Blue Jay. Very social, staying in close family groups to raise young. Readily hops on the ground while searching for food. Unique scrubby habitat must burn periodically in order to remain appropriate for Florida Scrub-Jays. Classified as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. eBird.org
