For MacroMondays theme “Generosity”
This is a quite direct approach for this weeks theme, but unfortunately money is needed in order to help people whose lives have been devastated by natural disasters, wars and poverty. One doesn't have to give huge sums of money, even pennies or cents help.
Happy MM everyone!

CZ: Dne 15.08.2023 se do čela vlaku Pn 64210 [Kyjov–Jestřebí] postavila dvojice lokomotiv 750.277 a 750.103 dopravce ČD Cargo. Jedná se o vyrovnávku prázdných vozů z vlečky podniku Vetropack Moravia Glass Kyjov do Jestřebí na vlečku podniku Provodínské písky a.s. Vlak byl zachycen na výjezdu ze stanice Bučovice. Kyjovské sklárny odebírají po železnici ze zmíněné pískovny sklářský písek. Další komoditou pro výrobu skla doporavovanou nákladními vlaky je sklářská soda, která je dovážena z polské Inowrocławi v režii soukromých dopravců.
Tovární komín v pozadí patřil v minulosti podniku UP Bučovice, významnému producentovi nábytku v dobách socialistického Československa. Tento podnik zkrachoval v roce 1992. Vpravo od něj se nachází zámek Bučovice, který byl vystavěn v renesančním slohu v letech 1575–1585 a je národní kulturní památkou.
EN: On 15.08.2023 a pair of locomotives 750.277 and 750.103 of the carrier ČD Cargo was photographed on the train Pn 64210 [Kyjov-Jestřebí]. It is the transport of empty wagons from the Vetropack Moravia Glass factory in Kyjov to Jestřebí to the sand plant Provodínské písky a.s. The train was photographed at the exit from Bučovice station. The Kyjov glassworks take glass sand from the sand plant by rail. Another commodity for glass production transported by rail is glass soda, which is imported from Inowrocław, Poland.
The factory chimney in the background used to belong to the UP Bučovice factory, an important producer of furniture in the times of socialist Czechoslovakia. This enterprise went bankrupt in 1992. To the right of it is the Bučovice Castle, which was built in the Renaissance style between 1575 and 1585 and is a national cultural monument.

Not too many clouds to stir interest in the scene, but architecture and a friendly atmosphere go a long way to providing inspiration to press that shutter button!
Urban development of the banks of the Tagus river (the Ribeira) was given a definitive impulse in the early 16th century, when King Manuel I built a new royal residence – the Ribeira Palace – by the river, outside the city walls. The area was further developed with the building of a port, shipbuilding facilities (the Ribeira das Naus), the Casa da Índia and other administrative buildings that regulated the commerce between Portugal and other parts of Europe and its colonies in Africa, Asia and the Americas.
On 1 November 1755, during the reign of King Dom José I, a great earthquake followed by a tsunami and fire destroyed most of Lisbon, including the Ribeira Palace and other buildings by the river. José I's Prime Minister, the Marquis of Pombal, coordinated a massive rebuilding effort led by Portuguese architect Eugénio dos Santos. He designed a large, rectangular square in the shape of a "U", open towards the Tagus. The buildings have galleries on their ground floors, and the arms of the "U" end in two large towers, reminiscent of the monumental tower of the destroyed Ribeira Palace, still vivid in the architectural memory of the city. His plan was realised almost completely, although decorative details were changed and the east tower of the square and the Augusta Street Arch were only finished in the 19th century.
The square was named Praça do Comércio, the Square of Commerce, to indicate its new function in the economy of Lisbon. The symmetrical buildings of the square were filled with government bureaux regulating customs and port activities. The centrepiece of the ensemble was the equestrian statue of King José I, inaugurated in 1775 in the centre of the square. This bronze statue, the first monumental statue dedicated to a King in Lisbon, was designed by Joaquim Machado de Castro, Portugal's foremost sculptor of the time.

Because I've hardly picked up my camera in days, I've been going through my archives looking for forgotten or overlooked "good ones". I'm not promising to start another 365 project in January, but I really do need to spend some more time with my camera. I have two more images that need to be shot for the 114 Pictures in 2014 project so I know I will shoot those, but I really do want to get out more and practice what I love doing.

The model is built more for looks than for playability or functionality. It does have a working steering mechanism on both front axles, though, albeit not connected to a steering wheel. It is set up to synchronise their motion, with a different steering angle on the front axle than on the one behind it. (I intend to post a picture of the mechanism sometime in the next few weeks). This is a function that actually enhances the look.

Lisbon (Portuguese: Lisboa) is the capital and the largest city of Portugal, with an estimated population of 505,526 within its administrative limits in an area of 100.05 km2. Its urban area extends beyond the city's administrative limits with a population of around 2.8 million people, being the 11th-most populous urban area in the European Union. About 3 million people live in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (which represents approximately 27% of the country's population). It is mainland Europe's westernmost capital city and the only one along the Atlantic coast. Lisbon lies in the western Iberian Peninsula on the Atlantic Ocean and the River Tagus. The westernmost areas of its metro area form the westernmost point of Continental Europe, which is known as Cabo da Roca, located in the Sintra Mountains.
Lisbon is recognized as an alpha-level global city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) Study Group because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education and tourism. Lisbon is the only Portuguese city besides Porto to be recognized as a global city. It is one of the major economic centres on the continent, with a growing financial sector and one of the largest container ports on Europe's Atlantic coast. Additionally, Humberto Delgado Airport served 26.7 million passengers in 2017, being the busiest airport in Portugal, the 3rd busiest in the Iberian Peninsula and the 20th busiest in Europe, and the motorway network and the high-speed rail system of Alfa Pendular links the main cities of Portugal (such as Braga, Porto and Coimbra) to Lisbon. The city is the 9th-most-visited city in Southern Europe, after Rome, Istanbul, Barcelona, Milan, Venice, Madrid, Florence and Athens, with 3,320,300 tourists in 2017. The Lisbon region contributes with a higher GDP PPP per capita than any other region in Portugal. Its GDP amounts to 96.3 billion USD and thus $32,434 per capita. The city occupies the 40th place of highest gross earnings in the world. Most of the headquarters of multinational corporations in Portugal are located in the Lisbon area. It is also the political centre of the country, as its seat of Government and residence of the Head of State.
Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, and one of the oldest in Western Europe, predating other modern European capitals such as London, Paris, and Rome by centuries. Julius Caesar made it a municipium called Felicitas Julia, adding to the name Olissipo. Ruled by a series of Germanic tribes from the 5th century, it was captured by the Moors in the 8th century. In 1147, the Crusaders under Afonso Henriques reconquered the city and since then it has been a major political, economic and cultural centre of Portugal. Unlike most capital cities, Lisbon's status as the capital of Portugal has never been granted or confirmed officially – by statute or in written form. Its position as the capital has formed through constitutional convention, making its position as de facto capital a part of the Constitution of Portugal.

Encompassed in the zone of the Chiado , is the Largo do Carmo , with its jacarandás . In this area, the ruins of the Carmo Convent , built in the 14th century, where the Carmo Archaeological Museum is currently housed , resists .
In front of the convent, there is the Chafariz do Carmo (1771), supplied by the Águas Livres Aqueduct , through the Loreto Gallery.
The Carmo Barracks, which belonged to the National Republican Guard, played a very important role in the convent quarter, on April 25, 1974 , because it was chosen by Marcello Caetano to take refuge from the revolution. be the main stage of the revolution, as a place of the New State surrendering to the MFA military . To perpetuate this moment, there is an inscription on the floor of the square dedicated to Salgueiro Maia .
On the other side of the convent, we find the old Palacio Valadares, a building that has already had several uses. This palace stands on the site where the first Portuguese university was founded, in the time of D. Dinis , before being transferred to Coimbra .
Between the Carmo Convent and the Valadares Palace stands the access gate of Santa Justa Elevator , which connects Largo do Carmo to Baixa Pombalina , in particular to Rua do Ouro .
Still on this square, we find the Church of the Third Order of Our Lady of Carmo , which usually goes unnoticed by a habitual habitation building. In this same building, Montepio Geral was founded in the 19th century.
This wide area has also become known for its esplanades, as well as being the scene of several filming, both fiction films or documentaries, as well as advertising films.
Largo do Carmo is in the parish of Santa Maria Maior .
