Aizanoi, just outside the small town of Çavdarhisar, near Kütahya, Turkey.
The ancient city of Aizanoi was the site of the world's first stock exchange! The city was at its peak in 2nd/3rd century AD.
I am glad I caught a few tourists walking around so it gives an idea of scale!
Another external from this empty hospital sat in the hills of Europe lying unused and open to the elements.
The Ark of Bukhara is a massive fortress located in the city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan that was initially built and occupied around the 5th century AD. In addition to being a military structure, the Ark encompassed what was essentially a town that, during much of the fortress' history, was inhabited by the various royal courts that held sway over the region surrounding Bukhara. The Ark was used as a fortress until it fell to Russia in 1920. Currently, the Ark is a tourist attraction and houses museums covering its history.
The Ark is a large earthen fortification located in the northwestern part of contemporary Bukhara. In layout it resembles a modified rectangle, a little elongated from the west to the east. The perimeter of the external walls is 789.6 metres (2,591 ft), the area enclosed being 3.96 hectares (9.8 acres). The height of the walls varies from 16 to 20 metres (52 to 66 ft).
The ceremonial entrance into the citadel is architecturally framed by two 18th Century towers. The upper parts of the towers are connected by a gallery, rooms, and terraces. A gradually rising ramp leads through a winch-raised portal and a covered long corridor to the mosque of Dzhuma. The covered corridor offers access to storerooms and prison cells. In the center of the Ark is located a large complex of buildings, one of the best preserved being the mosque of Ul'dukhtaron, which is connected to legends of forty girls tortured and cast into a well.
From far we feel
Two wheels
The way it goes
Texture comes after
When colors travel around
In the little details
The painter is gone
Come closer and see
These fittings on the external facade of the glassy Optus building turned out to be sprinklers when I zoomed in on them. I had thought they were lights.
I have been going through my photos on my computer, transferring them on to an external hard drive. I have been meaning to do this for ages, but kept putting it off. I have lost many photos before when the hard drive died and after I had to get the hard drive replaced on my lap top this week, I thought I had better clean up my main computer as I have so many photos on it.
I came across this photo of a Neon Cuckoo Bee taken back in December, 2017.
The specialist has decided he might have to upgrade my treatment, but it is too late to do so before heading to the UK. He has said I can take Prednisone while I am away. I have also purchased a thumb/wrist strap which seems to be helping so far.
Liverpool Cathedral is the Church of England Cathedral of the Diocese of Liverpool, built on St James's Mount in Liverpool and is the seat of the Bishop of Liverpool.
The cathedral is based on a design by Giles Gilbert Scott. The total external length of the building, including the Lady Chapel (dedicated to the Blessed Virgin), is 189 m making it the longest cathedral in the world; its internal length is 150 m. In terms of overall volume, Liverpool Cathedral ranks as the fifth-largest cathedral in the world and contests with the incomplete Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York City for the title of largest Anglican church building. With a height of 101 m it is also one of the world's tallest non-spired church buildings and the third-tallest structure in the city of Liverpool. The cathedral is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. (Source: Wikipedia)

Pinnnacle @ Duxton, Singapore
I spent an afternoon noodling around the remarkable "Pinnacle @ Duxton" building complex, in Singapore. The public skybridge is an intriguing community space located on the 50th floor. Its 500 metre span connects the 7, 50 story buildings, comprising the complex.
This architectural marvel is an inspired community housing project, completed in 2009 - the deserving winner of several awards.
Con una poco gradevole temperatura di +35°C a settembre inoltrato, questa E494 di Mercitalia Rail transita a forte velocità nella stazione di Itri con un TCS Milano Smistamento - Villa San Giovanni (destinato poi all'imbarco verso la Sicilia e la sua destinazione finale di Catania Bicocca), uno dei pochi treni merci diurni fotografabili sulla Direttissima Roma - Napoli.
Situata all'uscita della lunga galleria Vivola, e decentrata rispetto al centro cittadino posizionato sulle pendici dei Monti Aurunci, la stazione è ormai da diversi anni stata declassata a semplice fermata, con la rimozione del binario centrale di precedenza di cui ancora sono ben visibili le tracce tra i due binari esterni di transito.
With an unpleasant temperature of + 35° C in mid September, this E494 of Mercitalia Rail passes at high speed into Itri station with a TCS Milano Smistamento - Villa San Giovanni (then Sicily --> Catania Bicocca), one of the few daytime freight trains that can be photographed on the "Direttissima" Rome - Naples.
Located at the exit of the long Vivola tunnel, away from the city center positioned on the slopes of the Monti Aurunci, the station has been downgraded to a simple stop since several years, with the removal of the central third track of which are still visible traces between the two external transit tracks.

Kaikoura Penninsula
Fur seals and sea lions are distinguished from other seals by their external ear flaps and hind flippers which rotate forward, allowing them to move quickly on land.
New Zealand fur seals can be distinguished from sea lions by their pointy nose and smaller size. In New Zealand, fur seals also tend to be found on rocky shorelines, whereas sea lions prefer sandy beaches.
This pointy-nosed seal has long pale whiskers and a body covered with two layers of fur. Their coat is dark grey-brown on the back, and lighter below; when wet, kekeno look almost black. In some animals the longer upper hairs have white tips which give the animal a silvery appearance.

One fire, one external light and the end of the day lighting one window.
There was time and there was a place to experience the light and to enjoy the warmth.
To have company is addition to the light and warmth.
If we build our beacons of light and warmth we can find our ways to them no matter how the path wends a curious way, sometimes as a matter of fact the curious way is the best path to journey.
Same scene and phone camera recorded in JPEG and DNG file formats.
This is not the best test of these file formats, it was a very good scene to be in and the camera did all of the hard work, I just needed to be there, which is sometimes, well most often, is the biggest variable in the blend for me.
The pictures were edited individually and that added to their perspective difference.

Was moving some files over to a new external hard drive today and found this photo I took a few years ago of downtown Dallas, Texas, USA at dusk....

This hoverfly was waiting to be enough warm to start its daily activity. It was enough time to let me take some pictures, one of them is this one that I share with you.
I have used my Sony Nex6 with the 90mm FE macro lens and also an external flash adjusted to 1/32.
I hope you will enjoy this photo and I will appreciate your comments.
