Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ying_Lung_Wai:
Ying Lung Wai (Chinese: 英龍圍) is a walled village in the Yuen Long Kau Hui area of Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.
Ying Lung Wai is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.
Ying Lung Wai was established by a branch of the Tang Clan of Kam Tin, who had set up the nearby villages of Sai Pin Wai and Nam Pin Wai, but later moved to the area to establish the village due to feng shui reasons.
At the time of the 1911 census, the population of Ying Lung Wai was 94. The number of males was 38.
Ying Lung Wai is part of the Tung Tau alliance (東頭約) or "Joint Meeting Group of Seven Villages", together with Nam Pin Wai, Tung Tau Tsuen, Choi Uk Tsuen, Shan Pui Tsuen, Wong Uk Tsuen and Tai Wai Tsuen. The Yi Shing Temple in Wong Uk Tsuen is an alliance temple of the Tung Tau Alliance.

The Jardines del Buen Retiro or Parque del Buen Retiro (literally "Gardens" or "Park of the Pleasant Retreat"), or simply El Retiro, the "Lungs of Madrid", is the main park of the city of Madrid, capital of Spain.
The Parque del Buen Retiro is a large and popular 1.4 km² (350-acre) park at the edge of the city center, very close to the Puerta de Alcalá and not far from the Museo del Prado. A magnificent park, filled with beautiful sculpture and monuments, galleries, a peaceful lake and host to a variety of events, it is one of Madrid's premier attractions. The park is entirely surrounded by the present-day city.
In 1505, at the time of Isabella I (r. 1474–1504) the Monasterio de Jerónimos was moved from an unsuitable location elsewhere to the present site of Iglesia de San Jerónimo el Real, and a new monastery built in Isabelline Gothic style. The royal family had a retreat built as part of the church.
King Philip II (r. 1556–1598) moved the Spanish court to Madrid in 1561. Philip had the Retiro enlarged by his architect Juan Bautista de Toledo, and formal avenues of trees were laid out. Here, at the Palacio del Buen Retiro, the king could withdraw during Lent, bringing the court with him.
The "Jardines del Buen Retiro" were extended in the 1620s, when Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of Olivares, Philip IV's powerful favourite, gave the king several tracts of land in the vicinity for the Court's recreational use. Olivares determined to build, in a place that the king liked, a royal house which should be superior to those villas that Roman nobles had lately been setting up in the hillyt outskirts of Rome. Although this second royal residence was to be built in what were then outlying areas of Madrid, it was actually not far from the existing Alcázar or fortress residence, and the location in a cool, wooded area proved to be ideal.

Los Jardines del Buen Retiro, popularmente conocidos como El Retiro, son un parque de 118 hectáreas situado en Madrid. Es uno de los lugares más significativos de la capital española.
Los Jardines tienen su origen entre los años 1630 y 1640, cuando el Conde-Duque de Olivares (Don Gaspar de Guzmán y Pimentel), valido de Felipe IV (1621–1665), le regaló al rey unos terrenos que le habían sido cedidos por el Duque de Fernán Núñez para el recreo de la Corte en torno al Monasterio de los Jerónimos de Madrid. Así, con la reforma del Cuarto Real que había junto al Monasterio, se inició la construcción del Palacio del Buen Retiro. Contaba entonces con unas 145 hectáreas. Aunque esta segunda residencia real iba a estar en lo que en aquellos tiempos eran las afueras de la villa de Madrid, no estaba excesivamente lejos del alcázar y resultó ser un lugar muy agradable por estar en una zona muy boscosa y fresca.
Bajo la dirección de los arquitectos Giovanni Battista Crescenzi y Alonso Carbonell se construyeron diversos edificios, entre ellos el teatro del Buen Retiro que acogió representaciones teatrales de los grandes del Siglo de Oro, Calderón de la Barca y Lope de Vega. Perduran aún el Casón del Buen Retiro, antiguo Salón de Baile, el Museo del Ejército, antaño Salón de Reinos con sus paredes decoradas con pinturas de Velázquez, Zurbarán y frescos de Lucas Jordán y los jardines.
Éstos se levantaron al mismo tiempo que el palacio, trabajando en ellos, entre otros, Cosme Lotti, escenógrafo del Gran Duque de Toscana, y edificándose una leonera para la exhibición de animales salvajes y una pajarera para aves exóticas. El estanque grande, escenario de naumaquias y espectáculos acuáticos, el estanque ochavado o de las campanillas y la ría chica pertenecen a este período inicial.
A lo largo de la historia, en este conjunto se han ido efectuando modificaciones, no siempre planificadas, que cambiaron la fisonomía del jardín, como el Parterre diseñado durante el reinado de Felipe V (1700–1746), la Real Fábrica de Porcelana del Buen Retiro en tiempos de Carlos III (1759–1788) o el Observatorio Astronómico, obra de Juan de Villanueva, reinando Carlos IV (1788–1808). El rey Carlos III fue el primero en permitir el acceso de los ciudadanos al recinto, siempre que cumpliesen con la condición de ir bien aseados y vestidos.

It's been a tough few days. Last week I had suffered from a shifted sternum; this week, it's led to costochondritis. So far, my week consists of therapy and lots of heat and cold compression. There is so much action out there and I'm missing out on a lot of it. Recovery has been moving along faster than expected. I can't wait to get back to doing what I do.

A popular spot with Instagrammers, this building is unlike anything else in Sham Shui Po. It’s home to Lung Hing Tong, an institution established in 1931 that offers a range of services from the medical to the spiritual and religious. Its colourful green tiling is in stark contrast to the neutral blocks sitting on either side, and its eye-catching design is topped by a 3D dragon, cranes and deer emerging out of the frescos on the roof.

L'automotrice, partita da Szentgotthárd, al confine con la rete ungherese, percorre il lungo rettilineo fra Fehring e Feldbach, diretta a Graz ed è appena transitata sotto ad un portale per il controllo della sagoma dei treni merci.

The railcar, which started from Szentgotthárd, on the border with the Hungarian network, runs along the long straight between Fehring and Feldbach, bound for Graz and has just passed under a portal for checking the gabarit of freight trains.
Today's a special day for us. This is to give definite hope to anyone who has cancer, has had cancer or who knows someone with cancer. My other half was operated on 5 years ago and had his left lung removed. Here he is now! I can't keep up with him. :o)

This photo is part of the series that have been taken at the only house in the circle of a few kilometers around. Many hikers end up sleeping here, but you need to make a reservation day before. I know a guy, but I haven't done this yet. You can see city of Split and all the archipelago, including sea, land and sky. Sea level is at around 770 meters. Air is just fresh and beneficial to your lungs.

dopo una lunga assenza guardandovi in questo stretto abbraccio in cui si è sciolto il dolore, la paura, il sollievo.... l'essere nuovamente insieme.... l'essere di nuovo una famiglia...... a voi con tutto il mio cuore:
Lettera ad un figlio - Rudyard Kipling
Se puoi vedere distrutto il lavoro di tutta la tua vita
e senza dire una parola ricominciare,
se puoi perdere i guadagni di cento partite
senza un gesto e senza un sospiro di rammarico,
se puoi essere un amante perfetto
senza che l'amore ti renda pazzo,
se puoi essere forte senza cessare di essere tenero
e sentendoti odiato non odiare, pure lottando e difendendoti.
Se tu sai meditare, osservare, conoscere,
senza essere uno scettico o un demolitore,
sognare senza che il sogno diventi il tuo padrone,
pensare senza essere soltanto un pensatore,
se puoi essere sempre coraggioso e mai imprudente,
se tu sai essere buono e saggio
senza diventare nè moralista, nè pedante.
Se puoi incontrare il Trionfo e la Disfatta
e ricevere i due mentitori con fronte eguale,
se puoi conservare il tuo coraggio e il tuo sangue freddo
quando tutti lo perdono.
Allora i Re, gli Dei, la Fortuna e la Vittoria
saranno per sempre tuoi sommessi schiavi
e, ciò che vale meglio dei Re e della Gloria,
Tu sarai un uomo.
