Japanese tourist enjoying a visit to Canterbury, taking in the river Stour in Westgate Garden's.
The Westgate Parks are located to the north-west of Canterbury, with the historic landmark Westgate Towers forming the main entrance to the parks. The park is made up of four distinct areas: Westgate Gardens, Tannery Field, Toddler’s Cove and Bingley Island Local Nature Reserve.
The punts we use are traditionally crafted from hardwood. They safely hold up to 12 passengers. Its important to us that we use the highest specification of boat for presentation and functionality. Our punts are built by our sister company Cambridge Punt Builders.
Information from local History of Canterbury.

View from the Sedrun multi functional station inside the Gotthard base tunnel.
The exit of the tunnel in this direction is 20 km away, in the other direction it is even 37 km away.
By chance I had the opportunity to visit the tunnel through the SBB gottardino program. Once the tunnel goes into full operation in December 2016, it will no longer be possible for the public to have such a close look.

Thanks for all the faves and kind comments!
A hospital ward, could be anywhere I would think. It is functional too, as long as you know what kind of functions are included or excluded. Is a "sense of beauty" functional? Is a piece of art included in the functions offered by a hospital? A flower perhaps? Small things can make a big difference. Most important is the other thing one cannot see in this picture - the humanity of the hospital staff and the person-to-person contact between nurses, doctors and patients. Whatever the architecture. Fuji X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 wide-open.
A makeshift bridge made of wooden planks across the River Uhl in remote Barot valley in Mandi district in the state of Himachal Pradesh ,India.You can see the remains of an older bridge probably built by the British during the colonial era.
Barot is a village developed in the 1920s by the British for the Shanan Hydel project on the Uhl River.It is situated in an extremely remote and picturesque little valley about 25 kms off the Mandi-Jogindernagar highway in Himachal Pradesh.The valley is watered by the Uhl River and is famous for trout breeding.There are forests of Deodar,Oak and Rhododendron and pretty little villages surrounded by terraced fields which were golden with ripening wheat when we visited in April 2016..Barot is at a distance of about 40 kms from the town of Jogindernagar but the British had also built a funicular trolley which reduces the distance to 12 kms.However the trolley ,as far as I could gather ,is no londger functional.
Barot is at the moment an off-beat tourist destination and I fervently hope it remains so at least for a few more years.

1971 Ford Mach 1 Mustang Fastback
One of the most recognizable features of the 1971–1973 Mach 1 is the hood design with dual scoops. The hood was a no-cost option on the 302 cars and standard on all others. The basic hood had non-functional NACA-style submerged ducts, but when ordered with the Ram Air option, it became functional. It included a vacuum-controlled door inside each scoop, and a fiberglass under-hood 'plenum' that directed cool, outside air through a modified, rubber-ringed air filter housing and into the carburetor. Ram-air also included a pair of 1970 Mach1-style chrome twist hood locks and a two-tone hood paint treatment in either 'matte black' or 'argent' (matte silver), which coordinated with the decals and striping. The option also received either a "351 RAM AIR" or "429 RAM AIR" decal on each side of the hood.
They fly sooo fast when directly overhead..favored to close in on this one in the short instant available.
Taken for Saturday Self Challenge 19/03/2022 - Decorative .
First thought for this was the upper window in a big posh house , however , Jan did mention railways and they are always good for some embellishment on the older architecture . Here on this station the pillar supports to the station canopy are functional but on the load spreading supports at the top are quite decorative . I first tried a compressed view on platform two but not happy as I clipped the top a bit too tight plus a gutter got in the way from whichever end I took the shot . Platform one one the other hand presented a clear shot of the whole line of pillars with their elaborate top sections .
Also in shot is a passenger waiting on a seat , not sure about how he looks , but then this is the London platform - not a place to look forward to visiting as far as I am concerned .
A sight and sound to calm things down -----
The wooden bridge over the Grand Canal was built as a temporary structure in 1932 and is still fully functional now.
Le Consortium Museum est un centre d'art contemporain basé à Dijon géré par l'association Le Coin du Miroir, active depuis 1977. Depuis 2011, il est installé dans un bâtiment de 4000 m2 conçu par les architectes Shigeru Ban et Jean de Gastines.
Le centre d'art occupe progressivement, à partir de 1991, une ancienne usine de liqueur L'Heritier-Guyot, construite en 1943. La conception est réalisée par l'architecte allemand Hostettler en collaboration avec Joly-Delvalat (1906-1990), professeur à l'Académie des Beaux-Arts de Dijon. L’architecture s’inspire du style international, avec une tendance post-Bauhaus, c’est-à-dire une construction lisse en béton sans ornementation, caractéristique du mouvement moderne où la rationalité et la fonctionnalité déterminent l’esthétique de l’architecture. Après une rénovation et une extension du bâtiment réalisée sous la conduite des architectes Shigeru Ban, et Jean de Gastines8, l'espace de 4 000 m², dont 2 000 m² sont réservés aux expositions, est rouvert au public en juin 2011 et inauguré par le ministre de la Culture Frédéric Mitterrand, le 14 septembre 2011. Ce nouveau bâtiment est passé d’un “L” à un rectangle qui englobe une cour intérieure.
The Consortium Museum is a contemporary art center based in Dijon managed by the association Le Coin du Miroir, active since 1977. Since 2011, it has been housed in a 4000 m2 building designed by architects Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines.
The art center has gradually occupied, since 1991, a former L'Heritier-Guyot liqueur factory, built in 1943. The design was carried out by the German architect Hostettler in collaboration with Joly-Delvalat (1906-1990), professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dijon. The architecture is inspired by the international style, with a post-Bauhaus tendency, that is to say a smooth concrete construction without ornamentation, characteristic of the modern movement where rationality and functionality determine the aesthetics of architecture. After a renovation and extension of the building carried out under the supervision of architects Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines8, the 4,000 m² space, of which 2,000 m² are reserved for exhibitions, was reopened to the public in June 2011 and inaugurated by the Minister of Culture Frédéric Mitterrand on September 14, 2011. This new building has changed from an “L” to a rectangle that includes an interior courtyard.
