Alviso Flat lies just a hundred yards north of the Alviso Marina County Park. Situated just west of the 1880 South Coast Pacific railroad grade, the flat is a widening of the ditch flanking the rail track. I have no idea why the ditch widens here but it makes an interesting and photographic landscape feature. The area fills with a few inches of water during our winter rainy season and tends to dry out in the summer. This has been an exceptionally dry winter so I was a bit surprised to find water in the flat during this January visit. Perhaps it is due to the adjacent salt ponds, which were relatively full, or a connection to the New Chicago Marsh on the other side of the track. This marsh is running with much higher water levels since the Salt Pond A16 construction project.
As you walk along the levee past Alviso Flat you can see the vague remnants of a few marsh channels. These are much more evident from the air as is the color du jour of the flat’s shallow water (in this case light brown).
Fellow KAPper Dave Wheeler, who was visiting from Maryland, accompanied me on this outing. You can see Dave’s white Rokakku kite in several of the images.
I am taking these documentary photographs under a Special Use Permit from the California Department of Fish & Wildlife. Kite flying is prohibited over the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve without a Special Use Permit, as is access to this part of the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge.
A rather rare event on a bus in public transport. Andreas from the in-house garage took care of the problem. Haag SG, Switzerland, Oct 9, 2009, 9.02 pm.
Whakarewarewa (reduced version of Te Whakarewarewatanga O Te Ope Taua A Wahiao, meaning The gathering place for the war parties of Wahiao, often abbreviated to Whaka by locals) is a geothermal area within Rotorua city in the Taupo Volcanic Zone of New Zealand. This was the site of the Māori fortress of Te Puia, first occupied around 1325, and known as an impenetrable stronghold never taken in battle. Māori have lived here ever since, taking full advantage of the geothermal activity in the valley for heating and cooking.
Whakarewarewa has some 500 pools, most of which are alkaline chloride hot springs, and at least 65 geyser vents, each with their own name. Seven geysers are currently active. Pohutu Geyser, meaning big splash or explosion, erupts approximately hourly to heights of up to 30 m.

Have you spotted it? Yes ...I'm doing a "two of a kind" thing. Don't worry, these are the last.
Flats like these were all over the place at one time. They went up in their hundreds in ...ooh, the 50s and early 60s I suppose. Where have they all gone? Today you have to seek them out. Have they been demolished already, or maybe given facelifts, so that they are not so recognisable? When young I hated them like poison, but now that they have had forty years in which to mature, they have begun to attract Period Charm to themselves.
Information is difficult to come by. All I can tell you is that these are in Hall Road, St John's Wood. The spindly poles that support the entrance canopy are very characteristic. Everything looks original ...metal windows (you can make out the particular form of the hinges on the window above the entrance) with nice slim glazing bars, metal doors giving onto pseudo-balconies with period railings. I like the way the window-cases project slightly proud of the brickwork. What a pity that none of the residents use the concrete window-box receptacles.

Continuing with the black pointed flats with some understated studding. These are nice but i hardly wear them - i like pointed toes in heels but in flats I think It's akward unless I'm wearing oversized trousers (like why wouldnt you just wear a pointed heel).
And my personal favorite the Tory Burch's in bullet toe. Just love these, I picked these babies up on a trip overseas four years ago. True quality leather and they look amazing with anything. They are my go to and they are in a ton of my photos.
Hope you enjoy!

The oddly-shaped Flat Iron building is so named due to its resemblance to an actual flat iron from the sky. This is just one of the many restored Edwardian buildings in Lacombe's downtown, and dates back to 1905. Inside is an interpretive centre highlighting the history of architecture in the city and displaying artifacts from its past.

All 4 tires look like this! After 25K miles. I'm so steamed I can barely type this.
No more Big O. The suck.
A block of flats in Upper Spon Street, in the Spon End area of Coventry, West Midlands.
The properties are owned and managed by Whitefriars Housing Group (who took over all the Coventry City Council housing stock as a LSVT - Large Scale Voluntary Transfer - several years ago).
Decide to edit this description... As I can't prove the actual date it was built... Because some told me it is built in 50s and 60s...
In recent year all flats had been repaint and upgrade... Adding ramp for wheelchair users.
In 2008 HDB also upgrade the toilet from the squat type to seat one...
