For the first time since being painted in the commemorative Southern Railway scheme in March of 2012, NS 8099 makes its way back into Chattanooga, Tennessee. The rail hub is home to four former Southern major lines: The AGS from Birmingham, the CNO&TP from Cincinnati, the Atlanta North District, and the Knoxville line.

It had a surreal appeal to it.
The front door to the oh-so-elegant piece of 1930s (?) architecture that I currently call home. Not long now before I leave.

Taken at home with the Nikon D700, Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8. I used Photomatix 4.0 and touched the end result up in Photoshop CS4. Please give me your honest opinion on the photo.
The retirement home Ros-Anders Gård. Named after one of Tungelsta's first gardeners who built many greenhouses here 100 years ago. This building was designed by ANOVA architects. It has 40 modern apartments. It was mentioned in a book called Design For Assisted Living written by an American architect called Victor Reigner who listed this as one of the most interesting retirement homes in the world. Here is a winter panorama.

The Schooner Adirondack II downbound on the Hudson River near the Saugerties Lighthouse located in Saugerties, NY
Adirondack II has all the elements of a turn of the century pilot schooner and would have looked right at home in Narragansett Bay 100 years ago. The rig on Adirondack II is held in place with Kevlar shrouds, and her underbody carries external ballast taking advantage of modern wooden boat building techniques. The modern underbody is certainly designed in the spirit of the original pilot schooners, which used all the technology available to them to make their vessels as fast and yet as safe as possible. These modern design techniques help to provide a more exciting sailing experience.
Built for speed, pilot schooners were the coastal guide and rescue boats in the bygone era of sail. The primary purpose of the pilot schooner was to deliver a pilot (a seaman with knowledge of local waterways) to the incoming ships to guide them into safe port. Operation of a pilot schooner was a highly competitive business. The fastest schooners were the ones that got their pilots the most work. Pilot schooners patrolled the harbors and often rescued vessels arriving late at night from the dangers of an unfamiliar coastline in dark and threatening waters. Traditional in its appearance but modern in its design and construction, Adirondack II provides unparalleled speed, safety and comfort.
The Adirondack II is a gaff-rigged schooners with a wooden hull, and was completed by Scarano Boat Building in Albany, NY. Schooner Adirondack II was completed in 1999, and was brought to Newport Harbor when the original Schooner Adirondack departed Newport to begin operating out of Chelsea Piers in New York City. She is Coast Guard certified for 60 guests. Her masts reach over 70 feet above deck and has just under 2000 square feet of sail area. She is 65 feet on deck, 80 feet overall, and has a draft of 7 feet. On a high wind day, it is not uncommon for her to reach 10 knots under sail. She is a very lively and fast vessel, and all of her captains feel that she is an absolute dream to operate!

I never put up a photo of the completed wall with all the holds set. Here it is! It looks like a box of Jujubes candy exploded all over it or something.
It is by no means full. There's a lot of empty space. I like to think of it as room to grow. When I'm not broke, that is.
" Home Sweet Home " is the theme of an exhibition Nicolas Felten, Robin Chavepeyer, Minh Anh Vo, Paul Biwer and myself carried out in Luxembourg in 2005.
This Osprey chick was captured exercising its wings alone on the nest on Tigertail Beach, Marco Island, Florida on 16 March 2012.
The adult female decided to stretch her wings leaving the chick alone in the nest. It immediately popped up and started beating its wings as hard as it could. It kept this up for 30 seconds or so. Then it turned its attention to a fish that was left in the nest and started feeding itself. Ten minutes later the female adult returned with a pathetic stick for the nest - just an excuse for an excursion!
THE PERFECT HOME
A famous architect: Antonio Palacios. A style: mixture of Neoclassicism, with art decó. Quite very epic, very grand. Some of his works: the Palace of Cibeles's Post office; the Circle of Bellas Artes (Fine Arts); several palaces and 'classic' buildings of beginning of 20th century, also in Madrid; other buildings in Galicia; A slightly excessive style, of big dimensions, but with the finished perfect one, and a very personal touch.
This architect constructed my house, and it is a public protected building. Nobody can never demolish it. It´s banned. This house is in one of the neighborhoods more typically of Madrid: Chamberí. A beautiful place to live.
