Most people photograph Anish Kapoors "Cloud Gate" sculpture from the outside. I did, too. But I found it more interesting from underneath.

The University of Glasgow is a public research university in Glasgow, Scotland. Founded by papal bull in 1451, it is the fourth-oldest university in the English-speaking world and one of Scotland's four ancient universities.
In common with universities of the pre-modern era, Glasgow originally educated students primarily from wealthy backgrounds, however, it became a pioneer in British higher education in the 19th century by also providing for the needs of students from the growing urban and commercial middle class. Glasgow University served all of these students by preparing them for professions: the law, medicine, civil service, teaching, and the church. It also trained smaller but growing numbers for careers in science and engineering.
The University of Glasgow was founded in 1451 by a charter or papal bull from Pope Nicholas V, at the suggestion of King James II, giving Bishop William Turnbull, a graduate of the University of St Andrews, permission to add a university to the city's Cathedral. It is the second-oldest university in Scotland after St Andrews and the fourth-oldest in the English-speaking world. The universities of St Andrews, Glasgow and Aberdeen were ecclesiastical foundations, while Edinburgh was a civic foundation. As one of the ancient universities of the United Kingdom, Glasgow is one of only eight institutions to award undergraduate master's degrees in certain disciplines.

Crews from Canadian National and Fraser Burrard Diving work to salvage the final boxcar from Gates Lake after a derailment put cars in the water on July 11, 2018.
This vehicle is a warranty backed production performance model of the Mitsubishi Evolution. Littered with aftermarket parts, this street car is right at home on a racetrack. Much like Monticello Motor Club, where creator Ryan Gates put it through it's paces.

Two opposing forces battling it out over the key entrance to the fortified city.
With their standards on display, who can win? The attackers with their seige weapons, or the defenders with their archers and superior numbers?
Family and I headed down to the Florida for a couple of weeks and took the kids to Disney World (of course). They had a blast.
Took about 800 - 900 photos total between the 6D and GR. A ton to go through. Will be posting several here over the next little while.
Starting with this one. Shot through the car window on the way into the park...

The coolness of the riverbank
And the whispering of the reeds
Daybreak is not so very far away
Enchanted and spellbound
In the silence they lingered
And rowed the boat
As the light grew steadily strong
And the birds were silent
As they listened for the heavenly music
And the river played the song
[Chorus]
The wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn
Florence Baptistery (Firenze, Italy).
The massive doors—seventeen feet high—were created by the eminent Florentine goldsmith, sculptor, and designer Lorenzo Ghiberti (1378-1380–1455).
Ghiberti placed ten brilliantly visualized scenes from the Old Testament amid surrounding frames that include twenty-four heads and twenty-four statuettes of Biblical heroes, heroines, prophets, and sibyls, all enclosed within a lush frieze of the flora and fauna of Tuscany. All offer proof of Ghiberti's unique ability to combine compositional strength with the utmost delicacy, creating rich pictorial effects and perspectives that were unprecedented. He employed various grades of relief in combination—some figures are shown nearly in the round, while others barely rise above the surface—a subtly intricate modeling technique that he practiced magisterially. The whole was enhanced through the use of fire gilding. It took twenty-seven years (1425–52) for Ghiberti's workshop to design and make the massive doors; the recent conservation effort to bring them back to their original splendor has taken an equivalent amount of time.
The world heritage-listed cottage was built in 1887 and is a significant part of the colonial history of Parramatta.
"Originally there was a smaller cottage that was built here by Lord Fitzroy after his wife tragically died in a carriage accident at the George Street gatehouse and he couldn't stand driving through the gatehouse any more so he opened up the Macquarie Street side so he didn't have to keep driving past where his wife died," he said.
"Then there was a gatehouse built to guard the entrance and then it was renovated in the 1880s to become the cottage that it is now."
The cottage is currently being utilised as Tea Rooms.
The Amida Hall Gate is one of the two most prominent gates at Higashi Honganji that open onto Karasuma Street. This gate is smaller than the Founder’s Hall Gate, the main entrance to the temple, but more ornate. It is distinguished by its curved gables and undulating bargeboards, which connote elegance and nobility.
The decorative bronze details underneath the bargeboards depict auspicious plants and animals. The roof is covered with shingles of hinoki cypress bark, a style of roofing used in Japan since ancient times.
The gate does not have the usual wooden-bar threshold, symbolizing that the teachings of Jodo Shinshu (True Pure Land), the school of Buddhism to which Higashi Honganji belongs, are open to everyone. The gate’s current version was completed in 1911 to replace a structure that burned down in 1864, and is slightly off-center in relation to the Amida Hall beyond it. This is because the gate was built to align with the street in front of it. That road led directly to the gate in previous centuries, but the two are now separated
by the heavily trafficked Karasuma Street.
