It was almost two years ago when i was for a couple of days in Kuwait city.
Wow it was so hot that it was not even possible to get wet from the sweat because it would evaporate instantly, I believe it was 49° or 50°C on one of those days.
a cavernous hall that whispers tales of decay and long-forgotten echoes. This panorama, oh it stretches like a yawning abyss, daring the onlooker to step into its grim embrace. The wooden bones of this architectural cadaver sprawl under the weight of time, a skeleton of a once bustling hive of human activity.
Now, let's talk about the composition, my fiendish friends. The panoramic view, it's like a widescreen lens into a post-apocalyptic ballroom, where the dance of dust and shadow pirouettes across the floor. Notice the columns, standing like silent sentinels, guardians of history and hoarders of secrets.
The lighting, it drips from the ceiling like the last vestiges of hope, fighting a losing battle against the encroaching darkness. It's a masterclass in the use of natural light, casting a spectral glow that breathes a ghostly life into the scene.
The perspective is downright diabolical. It draws you in, doesn't it? Like a siren's call or the final act of a horror show, it's the spot where the final showdown would happen in the most thrilling of thrillers.
And those cables, snaking across the floor, they're like the tendrils of some unseen beast, or the remnants of a mechanical monster that once roared and hissed through this desolate chamber.
This is not just a photograph; it's a doorway to a narrative, a frozen moment between what was and what will never be again. It's a visual requiem, my friends, a hauntingly beautiful tribute to the relentless march of time and the stories that are left behind in its wake. Bravo to the maestro behind the lens, for you've captured not just an image, but the very essence of desolation and the beauty that lies within it.

GUIMARÃES (Portugal): Zona de Couros.
Em Guimarães, a Indústria dos Curtumes, que remonta à Idade Média, desenvolveu-se com sucesso até meados do séc. XX, fazendo da cidade uma referência nacional no setor. No séc. XIX, a atualmente designada Zona de Couros foi um núcleo privilegiado da indústria de transformação de peles, onde se manteve uma produção baseada nas técnicas tradicionais e no trabalho manual. Ainda que pouco significativas, as primeiras tentativas de inovação e modernização dos processos de produção surgiram apenas nos inÃcios do séc. XX, fazendo com que esta indústria se mantivesse ativa até meados do século. Em julho de 1977, a Zona de Couros é classificada como Imóvel de Interesse Público, no que constituiu a primeira iniciativa legislativa do género realizada em Portugal em torno da arqueologia industrial. Esta classificação vem reconhecer a importância da atividade e contribuir para a preservação dos vestÃgios desta indústria local. Na Zona de Couros, existem diversos edifÃcios que foram construÃdos para a instalação de fábricas destinadas à transformação das peles em couros, com os seus tÃpicos secadouros e tanques de tinturaria.

The four gateways stand at the four corners of Pritam Niwas Chowk, a courtyard inside Jaipur's City Palace. Richly decorated, each in a different colour and theme, they link the semi-public chowk with the private inner world of the royal family. Despite their completely different designs, patterns and colours, the gates sit in perfect harmony with the courtyard around them — a marvel created by the two principal architects of the Jaipur project, Vidyadhar Bhattacharya and Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob.
Architecturally, the gates blend two traditions: the upper half is Rajasthani, a jharokha balcony with two pilasters and a chhatri, or pyramidal roof, each topped with five bulbous finials, while the gateway below is more Mughal. Though the doors themselves are rectangular with moulded top corners, their grandeur comes from a majestic arch forming a niche, or pishtaq, and a denticular "Dantedaar Mihrab" arch. The gates are clad in glass mosaic tiles, imported by the Mughals from Persia and widely used by the Rajputs in their forts.
The four magnificent doorways depict the four seasons and are dedicated to four Hindu gods.
1. The Leheriya Gate—adorned with wave motifs in various vibrant shades of green—symbolizes spring and is dedicated to the god Ganesha.
2. The Lotus Gate represents summer, and is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
3. The Rose Gate symbolises winter, and is dedicated to Goddess Devi.
4. The Peacock Gate, the most famous among these, represents autumn, and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
The beautiful fishing village of Sakrisoy with vivid yellow rorbuer cabins on a small island with the mountain cliff in a background and beautiful reflection in turqoise water.

Sorry for the absence. I've been somewhat busy.
Avenue de la Grande Armée as seen from the top of the Arc de Triomph with the towers of La Defense in the background. Very impressive urban vista, Paris skyline, after Frankfurt, is easily the best in Europe. Note the tags on the chimney, foreground right, that's a common sight in Paris, I wonder how do these guys get up there? If you do this sort of thing or know who does, let me know, I wouldn't mind doing some rooftopping myself (for photographic purposes, of course, not tagging).
