We finally reached Vienna and saw the Danube. Turned out graffiti is legal along its riverbank. The weather has been wet for the past few days. We are looking forward to strolling around this magnificent city.
It's our first time cruising out of Amsterdam to the North Sea. I took this snapshot shortly after we departed from the port.
I actually went all the way to the backside of Pink Painted Lady and pressed my phone against the window to take this shot of the view to the backyard. No wonder this old house cost $3.5 million. I have heard it was last owned by a tech lady. She was trying to restore this house to its former glory but only completed the ground floor so far. It has now turned into a pop-up museum.

We walked past Teatro di Marcello from the Jewish quarter in Rome. When I looked up this magnificent ancient structure, I was dumbfounded and humbled.

We were taken to this ranch about 40 drive from Helsinski. We had lunch there. And just when we were about to leave, I took this snapshot of the homestead at the ranch.
We went past Ranch San Ramon the other day and spotted these purple lupines behind an iron fence. Needless to say, I had to stop and take a photo. I couldn't stick my camera out through the fence between the iron bars, so I had to use my phone instead. This gives you the perspective of my POV.
While we were heading to the Baltic Sea from Skagen, we saw this narrow funnel from the sly that looked like a small tornado. I immediately captured this shot with my phone.

We walked along this medieval street in Tallinn today. I had to wait for almost 10 minutes before I could get a clean shot of this street without any people. I wouldn't even believe this was once part of the Soviet Union.
We took a tour of the railway museum in Carson City. When I peeked into this passenger train car, I was spooked by this woman's shadow. Turned out it was a Judy Garland cardboard figure.

Taken with my new phone, it has 3 times more megapixels than the Nikon D5100 I normally take hiking. It came out in August and I was eligible for a free phone upgrade. I don't try to carry my Nikon D850 on long walks. I just can't take the weight. We've had a warm Christmas week with temps in the 50's and perfect walking weather with no wind. About to change over to rain by tonight.

A prism from the Kiev 88 camera attached to my Mamiya C220 through an adapter. Works well and looks much better than the Mamiya prism.
I parked my car on California St last Sunday before I walked over to Chinatown for some street photography. Saw this cable car just cruising down the street from Nob Hill. I took this shot because judging from the facial expression of these passengers, that didn't seem to be a thrill ride.
We entered one of the most unique wooden churches yesterday in Oslo. This particular one was reconstructed and is part of a museum today. The church was built according to the Viking traditions and was known as a stave church commonly found in Northern Europe especially Norway.
Northern Boulevard stretches for approximately 12 to 14 miles from west to east across the borough of Queens. As New York State Route 25A, it officially begins AT Queensboro Plaza Long Island City (aka The Wild West) and runs through neighborhoods like Woodside, Jackson Heights, Flushing, and Bayside before crossing the city line into Nassau County.
Because it stretches continuously from the western edge of Queens to the North Shore of Long Island (where it becomes known as North Hempstead Turnpike in Nassau County), its exact Queens length depends on the specific measurement points used by the NYC Department of Transportation.
Within Nassau County, North Hempstead Turnpike is a major local designation for a portion of New York State Route 25A (Northern Boulevard) on the North Shore of Long Island. The name is commonly used for the highway in Nassau County, stretching through areas like Roslyn, Manhasset, and the surrounding hamlets. The highway serves as a vital artery for the region, paralleling the Long Island Expressway (I-495) and Northern State Parkway.

As I was standing on the cobble street of Rome staring at my own shadow, the shape of my hat and the light pole really hit me that it was just like a night scene in the movie, The Exorcist, the priest was about to walk up to the front door of the house of cursed. What came after was that the demon who had possessed the child played by Linda Blair greeted the catholic priest in Latin. The entire movie had just shocked me as a teenager. I would never forget it. I kid you not. Rome has all the elements to replay such a kind of movie.
Overview of 7 Train Upgrades in Queens
The 7 train line, which connects Flushing to Midtown Manhattan, is undergoing significant upgrades in Queens, including at the 33rd Street–Rawson Street station. These improvements are part of a broader initiative to enhance the subway system's infrastructure and accessibility.
Key Upgrades at 33rd Street–Rawson Street Station
Accessibility Improvements
ADA Compliance:
The station is currently undergoing renovations to become ADA-accessible. This includes the installation of elevators, which is part of a larger $6 billion investment in accessibility across the subway system.
Elevator Installation:
The contract for adding two elevators at the station was awarded in December 2023, with work expected to improve access for all riders.
Structural Enhancements
Temporary Platforms: To accommodate construction, temporary platforms have been set up at the 33rd Street–Rawson Street station, along with other nearby stations.
Service Changes:
As part of the ongoing upgrades, Manhattan-bound 7 trains are skipping the 69th and 52nd Street stations through early 2026. Riders are advised to use nearby stations like 74th Street–Broadway and 61st Street–Woodside during this period.
Timeline and Impact
Construction Duration:
The upgrades are expected to continue into 2026, with various phases of work being coordinated to minimize disruptions.
Customer Experience:
These improvements aim to enhance the overall customer experience by providing better access, improved safety, and modernized facilities throughout the 7 train line.
These upgrades are crucial for ensuring that the subway system meets the needs of all New Yorker's, particularly those requiring accessible transit options.

My hunch paid off as this structure was completely torn down. I've been photographing the back of the building, as the front faces a police station, and not many people understand why I photograph construction. Several times I've been asked if I was an insurance surveyor. That one makes sense, as many times I'm dressed from work. No, just a hobbyist photographer. Essentially it's my documenting the pre/post gentrification of my neighborhood
