The parallel roads of Glen Roy
The "Parallel Roads" of Glen Roy are lake terraces that formed along the shorelines of an ancient ice-dammed lake. The lake existed during a brief (some 900-1,100 years in duration) of climatic deterioration, during a much longer period of deglaciation, subsequent to the last main ice age (The Devensian). From a distance they resemble man-made roads running along the side of the Glen, hence the name.

"The London deep-level shelters are eight deep-level air-raid shelters that were built under London Underground stations during World War II.
"Each shelter consists of a pair of parallel tunnels 16 feet 6 inches (5.03 m) in diameter and 1,200 feet (370 m) long. Each tunnel is subdivided into two decks, and each shelter was designed to hold up to 8,000 people. It was planned that after the war the shelters would be used as part of new express tube lines paralleling parts of the existing Northern and Central lines. Existing tube lines typically had 11-foot-8.25-inch (3.56 m) diameter running tunnels and about 21 feet (6.4 m) at stations; thus the shelter tunnels would not have been suitable as platform tunnels and were constructed at stations the new lines would have bypassed. However, they would have been suitable as running tunnels for main-line size trains.
"Ten shelters were originally planned, holding 100,000 people — 10,000 in each shelter. However the final capacity was around 8,000 people in each shelter, and only eight were completed: at Chancery Lane station on the Central line and Belsize Park, Camden Town, Goodge Street, Stockwell, Clapham North, Clapham Common, and Clapham South on the Northern line.
"The shelters were started in 1940 during the Blitz in response to public demand to shelter in the London Underground stations. However, they were not completed until 1942 after the Blitz was over, so they were initially all used by the government, but as bombing intensified five of them were opened to the public in 1944: Stockwell, Clapham North, Camden Town, Belsize Park and Clapham South.
"In 1948 the Clapham South shelter was used to house 200 of the first immigrants from the West Indies who had arrived on the MV Empire Windrush for 4 weeks until they found their own accommodation. In 1951, it became the Festival Hotel providing cheap stay for visitors to the Festival of Britain, but was closed after the Goodge Street fire. The shelter was used for archival storage for some years, but is now a Grade II listed building with pre-booked tours arranged by the London Transport Museum."

I'm learning to drive, that's going okay, parking seems to be the issue :) Made some quick notes about parallel parking to remind me.

Identification marker for this parallel, starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, a circle of latitude 50 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, that crosses Europe, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, North America (Canada), and the Atlantic Ocean, and also runs in Mainz through the Cathedral and Gutenberg Square – at this latitude the sun is visible for 16 hours, 22 minutes during the summer solstice and 8 hours, 4 minutes during the winter solstice – on June 21, the maximum altitude of the sun is 63.83 degrees, and on December 21 it is 16.17 degrees
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!

Album Description –
Maaraue & Mechthildshausen, Germany – 03-05FEB2015:
Great crew, and an on-time Frankfurt arrival: that's very good!
Petra drove from her apartment in Schwalbach and picked me up at 1 p.m. Thursday (no arrival nap for me, so we could see something with the sun shining). We headed over the Rhine to Maaraue, the confluence of the Main and Rhine Rivers. We sat conversing by the Main shoreline on a bench until winter winds whipping near-freezing temperatures liked to froze us, then chatted along the riverwalk upstream to an observation tower near the middle bridge of the Mainz “Three Bridges Walk”, a 5-mile 2-hour circuit crossing the Main River once and Rhine River twice. (After the current grueling winter flight schedule ends & our crew arrives again early morning in Frankfurt, I plan to nap – and have daylight remaining to go on this Walk.)
Petra and I continued on our excursion into late afternoon, and she was looking forward to travelling the next day to Berlin to vacation with a friend. It was fun to invite Petra to go eat and to shop at the Domäne Mechthildshausen, an organic farm serving their own ingredients in their own restaurants, plus selling it in their shops.
(At the Domain I bought 2 loaves of bread: triple-rise sourdough, and spelt; on Sunday Joe and I brought these to share, for lunch and for the concert reception.)
Petra dropped me back off at the hotel on her way to stop by Fichteplatz to return the key to the Gerber family children from their parent’s now-vacated apartment.
I learned "a lot". When I got home, Friday night I went to bed and slept a healing 16 hours.
Saturday evening Joe and I went to a lovely Carolina Pro Musica early music concert, the next mid-morning and mid-afternoon to my brother John’s New Life Lutheran Church in New London, where I played flute with the organist. Joe and I ate Sunday lunch with my brother and his family, a super visit – time flying by fast – and we all went to the wonderful Cantamos choral concert, a great reception and fellowship following the standing ovation. Soli Deo Gloria!

Daily Shoot: Use strong converging lines in a photograph today. It's your choice whether or not to show the vanishing point.
Geometric and parallel lines run across the Nazca Desert accompanying the spider, monkey, spaceman etc... I just loved the moodiness of this landscape.

To avoid fighting two stags will pose and parade, trying to impress each other by their size and power. Part of this is the parallel walk, a chance to get the measure of the challenger. Usually one will back down, but if not, "combat" commences!
