The South Gate, Troy, Turkey, 27 October 2009. Built in the Troy VI period (1,700-1,300 BC). The main gate into Troy, only the roadway and lower walls remain. Troy was founded on the hill of Hisarlik about 3,000 BC in the Bronze Age but it is not known by whom, the city now being regarded as the centre of a Troja culture. Destroyed at the end of the Bronze Age after the Trojan War c.1184 BC, the city was re-established by Greeks but was then absorbed by the Persian Empire in 387 BC. Alexander the Great then conquered it in 334 BC and it remained Greek until the Romans conquered it in 85 BC and in 20 BC established a new city named Ilium. The rise of Constantinople led to its decline in the Byzantine era and it was finally abandoned c.450 AD. Its site was lost to history and its very existence was thought to be a myth. However, various excavations in the 19th Century found the site and established that the city had been no myth.

The first time I saw this marvelous skyscraper was during the annual Formula 1 race and shortly after I watched its construction and building process on NatGeo Channel. Few months later I finally had to chance to see it live, it was standing in front of me, tall and elegant, towering over the Abu Dhabi skyline.
Capital Gate (a.k.a. the Leaning Tower of Abu Dhabi) is one of the tallest buildings in the city and the focal point of the Capital Center/Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre master development.
In June 2010, Guinness World Records certified Capital Gate as the "World's furthest leaning man-made tower".
The gate is decorated with bulls (symbol of Adad, the weather god) and dragons (symbol of the city's god, Marduk).

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

Day Seventeen .. We have two nights in Glasgow starting at a wonderful airbnb in a two bedroom flat. And we have a washing machine!
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 shot is a little out of focus because when I saw the truck coming and thought of the shot, I turned around so quickly to catch it that I almost fell! Plus, the truck whizzed past really, really fast. Still, I love that reflection and just had to post it...
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.

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
The sold-out Richmond Forum audience provided no shortage of great questions for a very interesting Q&A.
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.
