New York City

 

The written history of New York City began with the first European explorer the Italian Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524. European settlement began with the Dutch in 1609.

 

The "Sons of Liberty" destroyed British authority in New York City, and the Stamp Act Congress of representatives from throughout the Thirteen Colonies met in the city in 1765 to organize resistance to British policies. The city's strategic location and status as a major seaport made it the prime target for British seizure in 1776. General George Washington lost a series of battles from which he narrowly escaped (with the notable exception of the Battle of Harlem Heights, his first victory of the war), and the British Army controlled New York City and made it their base on the continent until late 1783, attracting Loyalist refugees. The city served as the national capital under the Articles of Confederation from 1785-1789, and briefly served as the new nation's capital in 1789–90 under the United States Constitution. Under the new government the city hosted the inauguration of George Washington as the first President of the United States, the drafting of the United States Bill of Rights, and the first Supreme Court of the United States. The opening of the Erie Canal gave excellent steamboat connections with upstate New York and the Great Lakes, along with coastal traffic to lower New England, making the city the preeminent port on the Atlantic Ocean. The arrival of rail connections to the north and west in the 1840s and 1850s strengthened its central role.

 

Beginning in the mid-18th century, waves of new immigrants arrived from Europe dramatically changing the composition of the city and serving as workers in the expanding industries. Modern New York City traces its development to the consolidation of the five boroughs in 1898 and an economic and building boom following the Great Depression and World War II. Throughout its history, New York City has served as a main port of entry for many immigrants, and its cultural and economic influence has made it one of the most important urban areas in the United States and the world.

Viaggio in Giappone giorno 11/17

 

Oggi abbiamo salutato Shirakawa-go le Alpi Giapponesi e ci siamo mossi verso la costa est, verso la città di Kanazawa dove siamo arrivati nel primo pomeriggio.

Kanazawa è una città moderna, in pieno sviluppo urbanistico con modernissimi quartieri e con la chiara intenzione di raggiungere Kyoto come città turistica, intenzione resa possibile dall'a

pertura recente della linea alta velocità Shinkansen che la collega direttamente a Tokyo.

 

Voglio però raccontare l'incidente successo ieri pomeriggio a Shirakawa-go. Eravamo già nel Ryokan dove abbiamo dormito e ad un certo punto abbiamo sentito suonare a tutto volume le sirene anticendio. Al che tutti gli abitanti del villaggio sono usciti dalle case, fatte di legno e paglia facilmente incendiabile e hanno iniziato a bagnare con degli idranti i tetti di paglia.. Successivamente abbiamo visto che una delle case più piccole dall'altra parte del fiume aveva preso fuoco e che diverse squadre di pompieri erano già sul posto e in maniera efficiente stavano domando l'incendio contenendolo a quella casa. Evidentemente il rischio incendi è così elevato che gli abitanti hanno adottato un rigido protocollo di difesa con gli idranti con lo scopo di impedire che un eventuale fuoco si propaghi alle altre case.

È stato un evento a cui non avremmo voluto assistere ovviamente, perché fa male al cuore vedere una di quelle magnifiche case distrutta dal fuoco, ma è stato anche incredibile vedere tutte le case coperte da questi getti d'acqua e ammirare il coraggio, l'efficienza e la bravura dei pompieri giapponesi in azione

U2 - No Line On The Horizon Live in Dublin

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oKwnkYFsiE&feature=related

  

There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.

One, to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.

The other, to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days, staring at the shine

quietly.

Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.

I face myself to change tomorrow, a vague day into something certain.

That is the meaning of a rebirth.

I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.

After she left, I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After

she left, how many times did I depend too much on her, doubt her, envy her and keep on telling lies

until I realized it is love?

I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the

daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.

I had been thinking about such a thing.

However, I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see

something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me, a guy filled with ambiguous, unstable

tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.

Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

Control

 

ReShade | Nvidia DSR | Photomode with Range Remover CT by Skall | Camera Raw

Perhaps the world famous control room; a place so renowned that explorers travel from every corner of the globe just to stand in its quiet, forgotten grandeur.

 

This photo holds a special place in my heart, not because it captures the most iconic control room in the world, but because it is steeped in memories.

 

It takes me back to an adventure through Eastern Europe, where we slept in abandoned Soviet buildings and beneath the stars in secluded forests. A journey shared with a crew of four, including two companions I had never met before. We chose to trust each other, and ventured into foreign lands to uncover hidden remnants of the past.

 

Maybe that’s also what exploration is about…

This guys are in charge to control motos crossing the barangays (districts) in PH. After they controlled me they noted that I had my camera and asked me to picture them :) funny moment !

Some lost their drone controller. Every time I see technology change I ask myself what would Max Smart and Hymie think. If you have not watch the "Get Smart" series you should check it out.

Cool-toned studio lighting cuts through the shadows, casting a soft blue glow that sharpens every edge and contour. Subtle highlights trace the skin while the darker backdrop keeps the focus locked right where it belongs.

 

The mesh texture catches just enough light to add depth and grit, while the industrial setting fades into blur — creating that perfect balance between raw and refined.

 

Strong pose. Clean framing. Intentional tension.

 

Somewhere between polished and dangerous…

and that contrast? That’s the whole story.

 

Moody lighting • Depth play • Texture focus

Dark aesthetic • Studio vibes • Sharp details

Controlled Chaos

In chaos theory, control of chaos is based on the fact that any chaotic attractor contains an infinite number of unstable periodic orbits. Chaotic dynamics then consists of a motion where the system state moves in the neighborhood of one of these orbits for a while, then falls close to a different unstable periodic orbit where it remains for a limited time, and so forth. This results in a complicated and unpredictable wandering over longer periods of time.

Saturday Adventures – 1965

 

On August 14, 1965, I was a “stowaway” on the second unit of this Loyall to Norton turn job. With a wink and a nod from the crew, I boarded at Appalachia, Va. and rode the ten miles upgrade to Norton, where the long string of N&W empty hoppers was returned. The standard procedure for inbound L&N trains was to cut the caboose off “on the fly,” and allow it to drift (downgrade of course) to the east end of the yard. The conductor would control the speed using the staff handbrake.

 

I got off my ride on the second RS-3 as we eased into the yard. As the train rumbled in, and the flagman cut off the caboose, I swung aboard as it eased by my spot and rode to the east end of the yard. Corbin-bound No. 66 was made up on the two tracks to the right (gray bay window caboose 1148 is on the rear of the second cut). The extra would depart before No. 66 and run “cab lite,” back to Appalachia to begin picking up about 100 empty L&N hoppers.

 

It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon just before summer recess from school concluded.

 

The full bed size top is finished. No two blocks are the same! The blocks are 9" square. Half are bordered with small stripey fabric borders and the 4" blocks have 5" dark plum borders. The back will be dark plum. A border of 4' blocks on all sides, July 2025.

Control panel for the power generators. there appeared to be a rotary AC DC converter here too. At least that's what i think it was!

These images were captured in an abandoned power plant in Italy. There is not much left of the plant which once generated up to 80 megawatts. However, the control room and a cooling tower are still in place.

Thanks for viewing my photos on Flickr. I can also be found on Twitter and You Tube

Che Guevara Mural on Faha Street just off Free Derry Corner. The inscription in Irish translates loosely as, “You can kill the revolutionary, but not the revolultion.”

 

Free Derry Corner is a historical landmark in the Bogside area of Derry~Londonderry immediately below the city’s famous walls, with several political murals from a Republican or Nationalist perspective. It is a significant tourist attraction in the city.

 

Derry or Londonderry – the name itself is a subject of political dispute – is the second city of Northern Ireland and fifth largest on the island of Ireland, with a population of around 100,000.

 

Derry is perhaps most famous for its walls, constructed as late as 1613-9 to protect English and Scottish settlers from native Irish people. This makes it the last walled city to be constructed anywhere in Europe. The walls remain completely intact and there is a walkway along top of the whole mile or 1½ km of them. These are the only intact city walls in Ireland and one of the finest in Europe. They are a major part of the city’s draw as a tourist attraction.

 

The conflict which became known as The Troubles is widely regarded as having started in Derry in 1969; the city was also a stronghold of the Civil Rights Movement. In the early 1970s the city was heavily militarised and there was widespread civil unrest. Several districts in the city constructed barricades to control access and prevent the forces of the state from entering. Violence, however, eased from the end of the 1980s while The Troubles still raged in other parts of Northern Ireland, and there have been persistent rumours that local IRA leaders secretly negotiated a truce with the British military in the city. Nowadays it is a peaceful place, and well worth a visit.

This is my entry to Eurobricks Collectable LEGO Minifigures Series 4 Building Contest. Insert Hazmat guy.

Didn't go out this morning since the weather forecast didn't look amazing and I was knackered, so I've got a chance to process some of the holiday snaps from Tenerife.

 

This shot was an attempt to capture the feel of the sunsets, with the incredible strength of the direct sun without any cloud to filter it. Obviously, there was no combination of filters that would hold back the brightness and I decided HDR would just look un-natural, so I allowed the sky to blow out in order to give that sun-baked feel.

 

The most impressive thing was that the Sigma 17-70 didn't give any flare at all, despite being pointed almost directly into the setting sun.
