Monte Palace Tropical Garden.
Oriental Gardens:
"During a trip to China and Japan José Berardo became enchanted by their history, culture and way of life and by the influence of the Portuguese on the Orient over 200 years. As such, the two oriental gardens are an attempt to recreate that culture, linked to Buddhism, with its respect for Nature and its highly symbolic elements."

This beast was living in an faulted electricity junction box underground in the dark. 6 eyes, 2 light brown 2 dark brown and 2 very light almost clear. I know nothing about spider eyes but this struck me as interesting so i'm off to wiki it.

It's an art making all those bends in a chain link fence. This operator drank too much coffee, he didn't last the day!!
Marco Zoppo (Cento 1433-Venice 1478) - San Girolamo penitente (c. 1470) tempera on panel 41x32.5 cm. - National Gallery of Bologna
L'opera viene in genere collegata al periodo in cui il pittore centese eseguiva l'altare di San Clemente del Collegio di Spagna (1465), uno dei capisaldi destinati a rinnovare in senso rinascimentale la pittura bolognese.
The work is generally linked to the period in which the Cento painter executed the altar of San Clemente del Collegio di Spagna (1465), one of the cornerstones destined to renew Bolognese painting in a Renaissance sense.
So.....I finally finished my Link custom! This custom has been on the works since I've gotten Procreate (2 months ago) and I have to say I'm REALLY proud of how it came out. He was painted with Apple Barrel, Premiere, and misc. paints and sculpted with Greenstuff and Procreate. I had to re-do the whole figure once, and the hair and eyes multiple times. I did a tiny bit of shading and I think it turned out pretty well. Parts of both the shield and sword were made with a cut up Amazon card and then had Lego pieces added along with Procreate. I also made a bow for Link, but it isn't pictured. I know there are some paint mistakes on their, and I also know the hair might not look good, but I don't care anymore as I'm "finished" with this figure! Comments and faves very appreciated. Would love to hear some feedback on this. Good day!
Thanks to Eric the T and Jkissnhug for helping to convince me that I needed this lens. They were happy to see me spend my money.

Das einzige was mir am K20 wirklich gefällt (abgesehen vom Inhalt natürlich).
Ein enttäuschendes Museum, nicht sehr schöne Räume, in denen (fast) jede Chance auf gute Architektur vergeben wurde. Die Ausstellungsräume sind noch am angenehmsten (villeicht macht Kunst auch blind) und das Treppenhaus ist bis auf diese sehr feinen Lichtschlitze einfach nur ein dunkles Loch. Ist vielleicht alles übertrieben, aber mir gings erstmal so.
Aber der Inhalt ist toll!
Anlaß des Besuchs war die Ausstellung "Museen im 21. Jahrhundert", die wirklich recht sehenswert ist.
The only thing (except for the art which is exhibited in there) that I like about the museum "K20" in Düsseldorf. This is in the staircase and the rest of it is unbelievably ugly. But i like the light falling through the ceiling here.

Amorphophallus titanum, the titan arum or Corpse flower, is a flowering plant in the family Araceae. It has a large unbranched inflorescence; a tall single leaf, branched like a tree; and a heavy tuber which enables the plant to produce the inflorescence. A. titanum is endemic to rainforests on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
Because its flower blooms infrequently and only for a short period, it gives off a powerful scent of rotting flesh to attract pollinators. As a consequence, it is characterized as a carrion flower, earning it the names corpse flower or corpse plant.
After some years, when the tuber is sufficiently large, the titan arum develops an inflorescence instead of a leaf. This inflorescence can reach over 3 m (10 ft) in height. Like the related cuckoo pint and calla lily, it consists of a fragrant spadix of flowers wrapped by a spathe, which looks like a large petal. The spathe is deep green on the outside and dark burgundy red on the inside, with a deeply furrowed texture. The spadix is almost hollow and resembles a large baguette. Near the bottom of the spadix, hidden from view inside the sheath of the spathe, the spadix bears two rings of small flowers. The upper ring bears the male flowers and the lower ring is spangled with the bright red-orange carpels of female flowers. The female flowers open first, and the male flowers open a day or two later. This timing usually prevents the flower from self-pollinating.
As the spathe gradually opens, the spadix heats up to 37 °C (99 °F), and rhythmically releases a powerful odor to attract carrion insects which feed on or lay their eggs in rotting meat. The potency of the odor gradually increases from late evening until the middle of the night, when carrion beetles and flesh flies are active as pollinators, then tapers off towards morning. Analyses of chemicals released by the spadix show the stench includes dimethyl trisulfide (like limburger cheese), dimethyl disulfide (garlic), trimethylamine (rotting fish), isovaleric acid (sweaty socks), benzyl alcohol (sweet floral scent), phenol (like Chloraseptic), and indole (like feces). The odor is detectable up to a half mile (0.8 km) away. The inflorescence's deep red color and texture contribute to the illusion that the spathe is a piece of meat. During bloom, the tip of the spadix is roughly human body temperature, which helps the perfume volatilize. The heated spadix creates a micro-convection in the cool ambient air, enhancing the transport of the scent. The heat also helps to convince carrion-feeding insects that a dead body is present, attracting them to the inflorescence. S_2550

"Moet je nou kijken ... heb je de camera bij de hand?", hoor ik roepen. Het Kielerkanaal - dat 100 km lange gegraven water tussen Noordzee en Oostzee- is een route die overheerst wordt door grote scheepvaart. De grootste verrassing van een lange motordag was wel een heel bijzonder voorval. Op klaarlichte dag besloot dit jonge reebokje zijn geluk aan de overkant van het water te zoeken. Met van links en rechts naderende grote en minder grote scheepvaart zwom hij over. We zagen hem nog net veilig de kant op gaan en weg was hij ... het bos in.
How about another frame of this awesome scene just as they start pulling south out of town.
CSXT's Troy Industrial Track is a six mile long branch line that connects with the Amtrak controlled Hudson Line just north of the Albany-Rensselaer station at the east end of the Livingston Avenue bridge. The former New York Central route is the last active rail line into the Collar City which at one point in the early 20th century was the fourth wealthiest city in the nation. The city once had lines radiating in four directions serving a grand Union Station downtown.
The four railroads that originally formed the Troy Union Railroad were the Rensselaer and Saratoga (D&H), Troy and Boston (B&M), Troy and Greenbush (NYC) and Schenectady and Troy (NYC). That's how the NYC ended up with half ownership of the TURR, and the others each had one quarter.
This surviving spur began as the Troy and Greenbush Railroad which was chartered in 1845 and opened later that year, connecting Troy south to East Albany (now Rensselaer) on the east side of the Hudson River. It was the last link in an all-rail line between Boston and Buffalo and until bridges were built between Albany and Rensselaer, passengers crossed on ferries while the train went up to Troy, crossed the Hudson River, and came back down to Albany.
The Hudson River Railroad was chartered in 1846 to extend this line south to New York City and the full line opened in 1851. Prior to completion, the Hudson River leased the Troy and Greenbush and all would come into the hands of Cornelius Vanderbilt in 1864 who then three years later combined it with his New York Central Railroad to have the entire New York City to Buffalo route under his control. A decade after that Vanderbilt would gain control over the lines to Chicago uniting the famed 'water level route' under one banner that would grow to be one of the worlds greatest rail systems in the first half of the 20th Century.

CSXT is the direct corporate successor of the New York Central by way of Penn Central in 1968, then Conrail in 1976, and CSXT in 1999. Despite occasional fear of the line's demise they continue to serve it three days a week with a local out of South Schenectady that travels via the Carmen Branch and the Hudson Line via West Albany hill and LAB to get to this branch.
CSXT local L020 has 17 cars trailing two ACSES equipped ex Chessie GP40-2s as they air test their train near MP 5 on the branch. Rising at right is the building known locally as The Fortress. Dating from 1902 the original name of the building is the United Waste Manufacturing Company Building, and it was built as a storage facility for wool and cotton shoddy. Today it is home to a high end antiques dealer and to learn more here is a cool blog post I found that is worth a read.

Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. Christmas 1987 I believe. Before the introduction of various midibus routes in the late 80s and 90s, the London bus network has some quite large holes in it. Consequently for a few years Lewisham Council contracted London Buses, in the form of Selkent Travel, to operate some services from outlying parts of the borough to Lewisham shopping centre in the pre-Christmas period. BLs 36 and 81 did the honours. The previous year I had photographed an LS on this work. In 1989 Michael photographed a midibus on Centre Link work.
Nowadays these points are served by regular buses into Lewisham.
This is the terminus in Molesworth St, round the back of the shopping centre.
Link to a description of the thought process behind this.
