View form the Carfax Tower
Carfax is the junction of St Aldate's (south), Cornmarket Street (north), Queen Street (west) and the High Street (east) in Oxford, England. It is considered to be the center of the city. The name "Carfax" derives from the Latin quadrifurcus via the French carrefour, both of which mean "crossroads". The Carfax Tower, also known as St. Martin's Tower (it is the remaining part of what was the City Church of St. Martin of Tours) is a prominent landmark and provides a look-out over the town.

Scabiosa columbaria (small scabious) is a perennial of the Caprifoliaceae, native to Europe and preferring dry, calcareous grasslands. It forms basal rosettes and bears pale violet flower heads composed of many florets from June to October. The species is an excellent nectar and pollen source for wild bees and butterflies. The small fruits (achenes) ripen in the dry heads and enable self-seeding.
Khinalug is a small village with about 2,000 inhabitants in the Caucasus Mountains in the northeastern part of Azerbaijan. This completely remote village is located 2250 metres above sea level and is considered the highest settlement in Europe and the Caucasus.
The mountain on the background forms the border between Azerbaijan and Dagestan (Russia)
Allestito all’interno dell’Ex Palestra della Gioventù Italiana del Littorio, il Museo della Forma Urbis custodisce i frammenti superstiti di una grande planimetria di Roma incisa su 150 lastre di marmo tra il 203 e il 211 d.C., originariamente esposta sulla parete di un’aula nel Tempio della Pace, in seguito inglobata nel complesso dei SS. Cosma e Damiano. Si tratta di uno dei più rari documenti giunto a noi dall’antichità , che restituisce un panorama unico del paesaggio urbano di Roma antica. Nella sua integrità , su di una superficie di 18x13m circa erano rappresentati almeno 13.550.000 m2 di città attraverso una moltitudine di sottili incisioni che raffiguravano le planimetrie degli edifici di Roma, a una scala media di circa 1:240. Considerata la posizione, la difficile leggibilità e la generale assenza di dettagli, è probabile che la pianta marmorea avesse, più che una finalità pratica, una funzione di propaganda e di celebrazione del potere, fornendo all’osservatore una visione generale della città e dei suoi grandiosi monumenti, le cui sagome erano facilmente individuabili anche grazie all’uso del colore.
Anche se rinvenuti a centinaia, a partire dal 1562 e fino ai pezzi scoperti più di recente, i frammenti della Forma Urbis costituiscono circa un decimo della pianta originale, in uno stato di conservazione che varia da piccole schegge a settori di lastra con interi quartieri, case, portici, templi e botteghe. Solamente per circa 200 frammenti circa è stato finora possibile raggiungere un’identificazione e un’ideale collocazione sulla topografia moderna.

Con forma de castillo es, en realidad, un monumento dedicado a Cristóbal Colón y su llegada al Nuevo Mundo en un particular homenaje al descubrimiento de América. Fue construido por el Dr. Esteban MartÃn y MartÃn entre los años 1987 y 1994. Se encuentra situado en Benalmádena, Málaga.
El Castillo de Colomares es una fantasÃa arquitectónica que recoge diversos estilos.
Se trata de un pequeño castillo realizado y construido por un hombre de nuestro tiempo. Toda una obra arquitectónica gótica realizada en los años 80.
Es un lugar de obligada visita en Benalmádena por lo que enseña y por ver una obra fruto de la tenacidad y el esfuerzo humano.
A ScotRail "Inter7City" HST, formed of set HA18 with power cars 43031 and 43135, approaches Drumochter Summit, working 1H17 13.32 Edinburgh Waverley - Inverness. [Pole, 3/6 sections (~4m)]
I'm stood on top of a small mound, not as high or as wide as the one south of Dalnaspidal, but one I'd located (but not visited) back in March. After wishing I'd had it with me the previous day at Jamestown, I took the pole to both locations (but didn't need it on the other mound), and found that using it here meant I could get a slightly better angle; higher still would have been better, but there was a bit of a breeze.
I was actually after a shot looking the other way, but there was a northbound train due as well, about seven minutes before the southbound. The railings of a small bridge meant the shot of a train approaching was better than the shot of one going away when looking north, so the two trains had to be photographed looking in different directions. However, an added complication was that the northbound train - in theory due first - was running slightly behind schedule (it actually passed nine minutes late), while the southbound was slightly less late (it actually passed six minutes behind time); both could have lost or gained time, so I kept checking Realtime Trains for their estimated time at Dalnaspidal, which is about a minute or two south of this spot...
I decided that the northbound would appear first (and I had more warning of it approaching), so set up for that, even though the sun wasn't yet quite on the front. After I pressed the shutter there was just time to lower the pole, turn round and then raise it again before the southbound appears - the two sets of pictures were taken about two minutes apart.
The railway and A9 road are passing through the Pass of Drumochter, the highest stretch of mainline railway on the UK network. The sign at the summit proclaims it to be the Druimuachdar Pass, although the name in Gaelic is, according to internet sources, Druim Uachdair (two words, and with an extra "i").

A Roman copy of a Greek original - the original was from the early 4th century B.C., while this piece is from early imperial times. She is wearing a chiton and her himation forms the billowing shape behind her. The attributes that confirms her identification is, apart from the raised cloak, the crescent moon on her head the torch in her hand (it might look like the sheath for a dagger, but it's not - but the flame itself is gone).
Selene was the Greek moon goddess (her Roman equivalent was Luna), the daughter of Hyperion and Theia, and the sister of Helios (the sun) and Eos (the dawn). In Classical times she was often identified with Artemis (and in Rome, Diana).

Digital paint with Art History Brush + 9 texture + love
The secret of my little painted from a photo still life is easy to discover ... love the little things, the need for light and color ... love the textures and brushstrokes digital ..... my little world!
SOOC in low light and high ASA to emphasize a minimalistic subject. I so enjoy YouTube and often try and learn different approaches. The channel most enjoyable for myself is Andrew Banner.
Exotic! Coral like. Brilliant in color and form.
This is a strange one! The tree is very large and tall but the flowers all hang from stems 10 feet or so from the ground so it feels like they are growing on a vine attached to the tree rather than the tree itself! These are called cauliflorous... flowers that grow from the trunk.
"In the rainforests of South American, fruits of the Cannonball tree sway and clash in the wind, creating loud noises like artillery fire! These fruits really do resemble big, rusty cannonballs as they hang in clusters on the side of the tree attached to rope like tangles that emerge directly from the trunk.
The Cannonball tree’s beautifully complex and fragrant flowers resemble huge orchids. At night the flowers become particularly pungent in order to attract swift-flying pollinators. This particular Cannonball tree was collected in 1913 at Jamaica’s Hope Gardens and has flourished at Fairchild since it was planted here in 1938."
Couroupita guianensis, whose common names include Ayahuma and the Cannonball Tree, is an evergreen tree allied to the Brazil Nut (Bertholletia excelsa), and is native to tropical northern South America and to the southern Caribbean. In India it has been growing for the past two or three thousand years at least, as attested by textual records; hence it is possible that it is native to India also. It's part of the family Lecythidaceae and grows up to 25m (82ft) in height. The "Cannonball Tree" is so called because of its brown cannon-ball-like fruits. The majority of these trees outside their natural environment have been planted as a botanical curiosity, as they grow very large, distinctive flowers. Its flowers are orange, scarlet and pink in color, and form large bunches measuring up to 3m in length. They produce large spherical and woody fruits ranging from 15 to 24cm in diameter, containing up to 200 or 300 seeds apiece.

An interior view of the Western Concourse at King’s Cross Station in London, looking up into the semi circular steel and glass diagrid roof supported by a central tapered funnel and 16 branching tree-form structural steel columns.
Designed by John McAslan + Partners with Arup, the concourse opened in 2012 as the centrepiece of the station’s major redevelopment and became Europe’s largest single-span station structure at the time.
The Western Concourse is part of the transformation of the Grade I listed King’s Cross station, originally designed by Lewis Cubitt in 1852, combining restored Victorian railway architecture with a dramatic contemporary roof that acts as the new public heart of the station. The tree-like steel supports radiate across the space like a canopy, creating a sense of movement, openness and structural elegance that has made the concourse one of London’s best-known transport interiors.

The St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel forms the frontispiece of St Pancras railway station in St Pancras, London. The station is one of the main rail termini in London and the final stop for international trains departing to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and other destinations in mainland Europe. It opened in 2011, and occupies much of the former Midland Grand Hotel designed by George Gilbert Scott which opened in 1873 and closed in 1935. The hotel is managed by Marriot International.
The building as a whole including the apartments is known as St Pancras Chambers and between 1935 and the 1980s was used as railway offices. The upper levels of the original building were redeveloped between 2005 and 2011 as apartments by the Manhattan Loft Corporation Its clock tower stands at 76 m (249 ft) tall, with more than half its height usable.
The hotel is located in the vicinity of Euston, King's Cross and St Pancras railway stations.
