The Picton Reading Room and Hornby Library are two grade II* listed buildings on William Brown Street, Liverpool, England which now form part of the Liverpool Central Library.
Chairman of the William Brown Library and Museum Sir James Picton laid the foundation stone of the Picton Reading Room in 1875. It was designed by Cornelius Sherlock, and modelled after the British Museum Reading Room, and was the first electrically lit library in the UK. It was completed in 1879. The front is semicircular with Corinthian columns, and the shape was chosen by the architect to cover the change in the axis of the row of buildings at this point. The Hornby Reading Room (named after Hugh Frederick Hornby) by Thomas Shelmerdine was added in 1906. It stands behind the older building and the interior is decorated in the Edwardian Imperial style.
This is one of the most impressive buildings I have had the pleasure of being in and highly recommend a visit.

Whose on the Other End?
In life we reach out often to those that we need
We never question whether or not their advice is best
And, in the moment, I suppose it is just that someone is there
That alone seems to heal whatever is wrong
What I challenge you to do is take account
Double check those that are real and those that are searching
In those moments of doubt, of sadness, and loneliness
Make sure that whose on the other end actually cares
In a world of people who can dress up to be anything
Check the heart and the mind before opening your heart
See who they keep company with and who they keep close
Listen to what they say and see if that's what you want said
Because in a world where you do not honestly know who is on
The other end, life can be lonely and empty if it's not a friend
Life has taught me that it is the quality of the one
On the other end of life... that matters the most
Be the voice that others can come to and keep their hearts safe
Bite your tongue when other times it's easier to rise to debate
Silence your anger with knowledge that all things come to pass
Quiet your pain knowing that the sun will shine again
In the end... be the one at the other end... and be true to yourself
Be a light in the darkness and a beacon of hope
And, never... let anyone... stop you from shining
I am on the other end for many... and they are also for me.
I am grateful and thankful. ♥

Black cab drivers in London spend 3 - 4 years studying and acquiring what's called "The Knowledge." Only a handful make the grade and are allowed to become licensed black cab operators. The put all the other car-hire services to shame here.

Europe, The Netherlands, Overijssel, Hengelo, Tuindorp, ROC van Twente (uncut)
The city of Hengelo is often called the 'metal city' because of its industrial facilities. The former foundry (ijzergieterij) of the Stork factory is shown here. It was constructed in 1902 and later was used for the maintenance of industrial appliances.
It served this purpose until the end of the 90s and was redeveloped into a school for professional education (ROC Twente) in 2009 by Harry Abels (IAA Architecten) and restoration architect Maarten Fritz (Architectenbureau Fritz).
Like we mostly do, we asked permission to enter. After gaining it (‘OK, but please leave after 5 minutes’), we walked into the astounding redeveloped industrial space. And met a security crew that looked at us somewhat dubiously. Time for a chat: ‘You’re out in force in today’ (there were 4 of them). ‘We’re here because of Corona’, and they told that they were astonished by the number of tourists that have started to visit the facility. ‘This is no tourist attraction’. ‘But you are !” and smiling I showed them a new leaflet ('Tuindorp-route') of the municipal tourist office (VVV) in which the building, its history, and architecture are featured.
We talked some more, and one of the guards told us that she knows the building well - her father had worked there, and during a holiday she had worked there too, as a temp.

My knowledge of animals doesn't stray much from knowing breeds of cows, pigs and sheep. My wife and I were tooling along a paved highway a week ago on our way to some more secluded roads when I spotted this fellow running for his life across a field.
I pulled over and stopped on a narrow shoulder, ran across the highway and down into the snow-filled ditch to photograph him as he spotted me and increased his speed as he ran for his life. I know he did not have very good eyesight otherwise he could have readily seen that his pursuer would not have decreased the distance between us in a week of running.
Pretty sure I have never seen one of these before and I had to enlist my ever diligent online friends who are happy to spot my errors when I post and they very readily told me this was a woodchuck, marmot or whistle pig. I liked the term whistle pig, a term describing its trademark communication with others of its kind.
Among other flying predators, eagles find it quite delicious so it rapidly moved up my list of favorite critters.
