Parallel lives crossing without touching.
Two men carry the weight of the day while the city flows past, unaware.
Street photography is often found in the moments nobody notices.
This balances emotion, story, and algorithm-friendly language.
Non so a voi,
ma a me succede
di capire da uno sguardo
se quegli occhi che ho dinanzi
sono pregni di passione
per la musica.
Hanno un che di trasognato,
quasi inseguano una frase
posseduta da altro cielo,
non da un mondo parallelo,
ma da un cuore strampalato
che scandisce il lor chiarore
con un tempo senza ore.
(Stupore e Pudore, p. 171)

Un posto molto interessante per le facce e per le situazioni.

With three 'east-west' runways as well as a north-south one, parallel movements are not unusual at Frankfurt airport.
Sales of the extra-short A318 did not even reach three figures, and its market potential limited enough that the Frontier ones were scrapped rather than sold on as flyers, as more money could be made that way.
Here we have YR-ASC, one of four with Romania's TAROM landing with an Aer Lingus Airbus in the distance.

43xxx 43xxx 020420 Reading
Reading is a major junction on the Great Western network with lines from the South West meeting those from from Bristol, South Wales, Oxford and Cheltenham to the west of the station.
This view of Reading is now history of course as the junction was rebuilt as part of the GW main line upgrade for electrification.
Two HST sets, both in GW cigarette packet livery, arrive on the Up and Down slow lines with services from the Didcot direction as the main eastbound platform was occupied as well at the time.

Compositionally, I wanted to try and mirror the near horizontal cloud layers and the freshly cut lines in farmers field below. I just love these rural summer scenes, it's always an added bonus when a sunset like this comes along too :-) Thanks for looking.

It's definitely an aquired talent and a must for living in the city. I think they should give classes on it myself. There's a slight trick to it I learned.
The reflections between the parallel pieces of marble make some of the background look transparent.

When I look at this I think of the many photo "sessions" and dozens of photos before I finally got the shot I wanted
Our Daily Challenge ... parallel lines.
We went for a walk today to some markets we heard about ... much too far as it turned out ... and caught the ferry back so this was taken from the middle of the river as we cruised past.

Fantasiosa formula entrata nel linguaggio politico e giornalistico italiano. L’espressione è chiaramente un paradosso e, dal punto di vista retorico, è un esempio di “ossimoro” per indicare l’accostamento di parole che esprimono significati opposti e contraddittori.
E’ stata inventata nel 1960 da Aldo Moro per motivare le scelte politiche che condussero alla costituzione del nuovo governo monocolore presieduto da Amintore Fanfani della Democrazia Cristiana appoggiato dai partiti socialdemocratico, liberale e repubblicano che avrebbero dato il loro sostegno senza peraltro partecipare allo stesso programma.
Parallel convergence
Imaginative formula entered in the italian political language and journalism. The expression is clearly a paradox and in terms of rhetoric is an example of "oxymoron" to indicate the combination of words that express opposing and contradictory meanings.
It was invented in the 1960 by Aldo Moro to motivate the political choices that lead to the founding of the new monocolour government headed by Amintore Fanfani of Democrazia Cristiana supported by the socialdemocratic, liberal and republican parties who would give their support without the agreement on the same program.

As he rounded the corner he came within mere feet of being pulled into the parallel universe. The concept of parallel universes, or a multiverse, intrigue me hugely; both in the sense of their potential and for the total impracticality of proving or disproving the theory. Much in the same way of the likelihood of my head spontaneously combusting in the next thirty seconds ... it didn't. Although it could, if I think about parallel universes a bit too hard. So I don't. That is, not unless I'm wearing my flammable hat. No, I mean my inflammable hat ... Oh. It's all very confusing, eh? I might have a lie down.

Publicly Speaking : The Fear
Smethwick Top Lock on the Birmingham Main Line Canal, in Smethwick, Sandwell, West Midlands.
On 24 January 1767 a number of prominent Birmingham businessmen, including Matthew Boulton and others from the Lunar Society, held a public meeting in the White Swan, High Street, Birmingham to consider the possibility of building a canal from Birmingham to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal near Wolverhampton, taking in the coalfields of the Black Country. They commissioned the canal engineer James Brindley to propose a route. Brindley came back with a largely level route via Smethwick, Oldbury, Tipton, Bilston and Wolverhampton to Aldersley.
On 24 February 1768 an Act of Parliament was passed to allow the building of the canal, with branches at Ocker Hill and Wednesbury where there were coal mines. The first phase of building was to Wednesbury whereupon the price of coal sold to domestic households in Birmingham halved overnight. Vested interests of the sponsors caused the creation of two terminal wharves in Birmingham. The 1772 Newhall Branch and wharf (now built upon) originally extended north of, and parallel to Great Charles Street. The 1773 Paradise Street Branch split off at Old Turn Junction and headed through Broad Street Tunnel, turned left at what is now Gas Street Basin and under Bridge Street to wharves on a tuning fork-shaped pair of long basins: Paradise Wharf, also called Old Wharf. The Birmingham Canal Company head office was finally built there, opposite the western end of
Paradise Street.
By 6 November 1769, 10 miles (16 km) had been completed to Hill Top collieries in West Bromwich, with a one mile summit pound at Smethwick. Brindley had tried to dig a cutting through the hill at Smethwick but had encountered ground too soft to cope with. The canal rose through six narrow (7 ft) locks to the summit level and descended through another six at Spon Lane.
In 1770 work started towards Wolverhampton. On 21 September 1772 the canal was joined with the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Aldersley Junction via another 20 locks (increased to 21 in 1784 to save water). Brindley died a few days later. The canal measured 22 miles and 5 furlongs (22⅝ miles), mostly following the contour of the land but with deviations to factories and mines in the Black Country and Birmingham.
Over the next thirty years, as more canals and branches were built or connected it became necessary to review the long, winding, narrow Old Main Line. With a single towpath boats passing in opposite directions had to negotiate their horses and ropes. In 1824 Thomas Telford was commissioned to examine alternatives.
Telford proposed major changes to the section between Birmingham and Smethwick, widening and straightening the canal, providing towpaths on each side, and cutting through Smethwick Summit to bypass the locks, allowing lock-free passage from Birmingham to Tipton.
By 1827 the New Main Line passed straight through, and linked to, the loops of the Old Main Line, creating Oozells Loop, Icknield Port Loop, Soho Loop, Cape Loop and Soho Foundry Loop, allowing continued access to the existing factories and wharves.
A year earlier he had built an improved Rotton Park Reservoir (Edgbaston Reservoir) on the site of an existing fish pool, bringing its capacity to 300 million imperial gallons (1,400,000 m3). A canal feeder took water to, and along, a raised embankment on the south side of the New Main Line to his new Engine Arm branch canal and across an elegant cast iron aqueduct to top up the higher Wolverhampton Level at Smethwick Summit. The reservoir also fed water to the Birmingham Level at the adjacent Icknield Port Loop.
The Smethwick Summit was bypassed by 71 ft cutting through Lunar Society member, Samuel Galton's land, creating the Galton Valley, 70 feet deep and 150 feet wide, running parallel to the Old Main Line. Telford's changes here were completed in 1829.
By 1838 the New Main Line was complete: 22⅝ miles of slow canal reduced to 15⅝; between Birmingham and Tipton, a lock-free dual carriageway. It was also called the Island Line as it was cut straight through the hill at Smethwick known as the Island.
My last full day on Little Saint Simons Island, I returned on my bike to the north end. Being alone with nature, in the woods, along the salt marsh, afforded me a blessed interlude. The weather was dicey: rain threatened, but never materialized. A cool front was moving in, therefore no need to spray myself with DEET. December 10, 2013
