The Dom LuÃs 1st Bridge is an arch bridge that spans the Douro River between the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. At the time of construction its span of 172 m was the longest of its type in the world. The Portuguese Government held a competition for the construction of a metallic bridge on the Douro River on a site that was adjacent to an existing bridge and would replace it. Teófilo Seyrig had already engineered the D. Maria Pia Bridge project, whilst working as a partner of Eiffel (From the Eiffeltower in Paris, you know). Seyrig now took sole responsibility for the new, major Luis 1st Bridge. The construction was begun in 1881 and the bridge opened on 1886. Its entire length is 385 metres long. (Info from Wikipedia).
Perhaps the prettiest of all the Peak towns and villages, Bakewell and the surrounding villages are well worth visiting! What I like most is that within such a small distance, there are so many of them, each with their own unique character.

Perhaps the crew working on this site is using the old side dock as shelter from the brutal summer heat. They must have been expecting company as well, seeing how they broke out that very new looking mop bucket in order to clean the place up a bit!

Perhaps the person on the beach hasn't heard the ancient take of King Canute attempting to command the waves. More likely this person simply doesn't know much about the sea.
I was safely up on the esplanade but still getting a fair amount of spray.
Directed by F. W. Murnau, Nosferatu (1922) was an unauthorized adaptation of Dracula - actually just a completely illegal ripoff, with a bare minimum of names and plot details changed. Dracula became Orlok, Harker became Hutter, Renfield became Knock, and so on. The filmmakers were sued by Bram Stoker's widow, and lost, and the film was almost lost forever. Now that Dracula is under public domain, it's perfectly legal and fine - note to copyright thieves: Just wait seventy years!
Aside from the theft, Nosferatu is one of the most significant horror movies ever made. I know you've heard this before, but why, you may ask? Well, there are several reasons - it was the first vampire movie, for one, and its creepy cinematography inspired... well, horror movies. If you do get to watch it, pay attention to things like the use of light and shadow, Orlok's explicit relation to rats and the plague, or the fact that this was the very first time sunlight killed a vampire.
Yep! That's it! Traditional vampires - including Dracula - were often inconvenienced by sunlight, or perhaps had their powers lessened, but Orlok is the first to actually die when he sees the sun. The very first. Just him.
Orlok also brought vampires around full-circle - early Eastern European legends had them as ugly, monstrous peasants, but early literature, such as Lord Ruthven in The Vampyre (1819) made them suave, seductive... and a lot like Lord Byron. Varney the Vampyre, as another early novel, had the first truly sympathetic creature of the night. Both Carmilla and Dracula seemingly completed and cemented the vampire's image as a suave, seductive force of raw lust... and then Nosferatu came around and reintroduced the monstrous vampire. Sure, Orlok has a way with people, and spends most of the movie fooling folks into thinking that he's a decent guy, but he's still a horrible, gaunt, shrivelled plague rat. Sure, most of culture has stuck with pretty vampires, but you can still find echoes of Nosferatu all over the place.
Oh yeah, and as an aside - this figure of Orlok is from Aztech Toys's Silent Screamers line. He turns dark/burnt purple in sunlight. Cool!

Perhaps one can notice the difference between these two recent Tulsa shots and the preceding New Jersey shots. This is actually a different image than the black and white. I shot this one a little more straight on and I was able to 'correct' it enough to make the lines pretty straight. Why I cropped the bottom of the black and white.
...well, perhaps not....

The TranzAlpine train was by now rocking and rolling along NZ's narrow 3' 6" (or 1067mm) gauge rails at quite a fast clip - so fast that I nearly missed seeing this old homestead...!
As the train continued on towards Arthur's Pass, I couldn't help but wonder what had happened to the person or persons who had once called this place "Home". Had they simply moved into a bigger house, or perhaps they'd retired and moved into town... Perhaps the Bank had called in their loan, or maybe they had quietly passed away...
We'll never know, but what remained of this house offered an interesting (even mysterious) photo opportunity - even if its walls no longer rang with the sound of chatter and laughter and Love...
Thanks so much for the very kind and encouraging comments beneath this photo...! Your support is always greatly appreciated...!
The Church of the Granite Columns (Old Dongola).
Old Dongola is a town in Sudan, on the east bank of the Nile opposite the Wadi Al-Malik. It is 50 miles (80 km) upstream from (New) Dongola. Old Dongola was the departure point for caravans west to Darfur and Kordofan.
From the fourth to the fourteenth century it was the capital of the Makurian state. In the Fifth Century Old Dongola was founded as fortress, but became soon a town. Latest with the arrival of Christianity it became the capital. Several churches were built. There was the Building X and the Church with the Stone Pavement. There were erected about 100 m apart from the walled town centre, indicating that at this time the town already extended over the original walls of the fortress. In the middile of the Seventh century, the town was attacked by the Arabs, but was not conquered. However, the two main churches were destroyed, but shortly after rebuild. Building material of the Old Church was used for supporting the city walls.
The Church of the Granite Columns was erected at the end of the Seventh Century
over the Old Church. It was perhaps the cathedral of Old Dongola and adorned with 16 granite columns. These columns had richly decorated granite capitals. At the place of the Church of the Stone Pavements, the Cruciform Church was erected. At this time Old Dongola had many other churches, at least two palaces, and in the North a huge monastery. Several houses were well equipped and had bath rooms and wall aintings.
In the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Century, the town lost importance. It was several times attacked by Arabs and the throne room of the palace was converted to a mosque.
Under the Funj, Old Dongola was the capital of the Norther provinces.When the traveller C.J. Poncet travelled through the city, he described it as located on the slope of a sandy hill. His description of Old Dongola continues: " he houses are ill built, and the streets half deserted and fill'd with heaps of sand, occasion'd by floods from the mountains. The castle is in the very center of the town. It is large and spacious, but the fortifications are inconsiderable. It keeps in awe the Arabians, who are masters of the open country".
Perhaps 25 miles east of Reykjavik, it supplies the capitol with electricity and hot water. A bit SW of Þingvallavatn (or Thingvallavatn) Lake.

" Perhaps Love

Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble when you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home
Perhaps love is like a window, perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself and don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through
Oh love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel
For some a way of living, for some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on and some say letting go
And some say love is everything, and some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside, thunder when it rains
If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
Some say love is holding on and some say letting go
And some say love is everything and some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside, thunder when it rains
If i should live forever, and all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you "

I was very impulsive in doing this after I bought a book in Oil Painting. With intuition and passion, I started playing with colors and it was soooo fun!!! But I got too messy! lol! This painting of mine will be memorable. I did it with love and excitement.
THANKS FOR LEAVING SWEET COMMENTS. THANKS FOR VISITING THIS PAGE. =)
Perhaps you don't know it, but without the support of all of you I would never have achieved whatever it is that I have achieved.
Perhaps its Puff the Magic Dragon flying across the sky looking for little Jackie Paper. Maybe its a laughing dog or if you the scientific type passing rain clouds at sunset. The great thing about clouds beside the rain they bring is wonder and imagination that paints the sky daily with new images to keep your mind spinning.

Perhaps the most spectacular beach in North Kerry, certainly in terms of location and beauty, is the Nun's Beach. Carved over aeons of time by the rough Atlantic waves into a horse-shoe shaped cove, this secluded beach lies just north of Ballybunion Castle. It is located under an old convent, and was used by the resident nuns in times past as a private bathing area. It is part of a scenic cliff walk which includes the Nine Daughters' Hole and wonderful views of sea stacks. The golden sands of Nun's Beach are tantalising, but access is by boat only, or, for the very brave, down the side of the cliff with the assistance of a fixed rope hand-rail. via 500px ift.tt/2a22SdG
If nothing else, this is a beach unlike any other I have ever visited. It is certainly a beach of contrasts.
This is where Castle Eden Dene, one of the largest areas of ancient natural woodland in the region, reaches the sea.
There are pools of water with orange-coloured mud and somehow thriving here is this patch of reeds/grass, swaying back and forth in the cold breeze of early Spring. Perhaps someone can be so kind as to enlighten me as to the plant's name?
In times past, I believe there used to be a place near here that sold refreshments to day-trippers!

Haltwhistle box, opened around 1915 consists of a timber top mounted on a narrow brick base.
The narrow base was to allow the box to fit in the limited space available. The join between the narrow and wide portions is neatened by curved timber panelling, through which the point rodding and signal wires emerge to reach ground level.
The signal box (along with those at Wylam and Hexham) is listed ensuring that it should survive, perhaps one day looking over narrow gauge trains arriving from Alston on the South Tynedale Railway.

Commemorating the legacy of Gyosei International School UK. The Japanese co-educational boarding school and playing fields closed in 2002 and the site at Willen Park South was redeveloped as Lovat Fields Village and Barret Homes Gyosei housing scheme.
Developer funding paid for eight artworks in Phase 1, which
are related to the themes of; Japanese Connections, Canal
History, Fish, Fowl, Insects and Invertebrates.
The trail is located on both sides of the Grand Union
Canal from H3 Monks Way to H5 Portway and is accessible
from the local redway network.
Arachne weaves
Seeing the twinned trunks of the tree where the sculpture can be found and thinking about the theme of Insects and Invertebrates, inspired Linda to look again at spider webs. In recreating these amazing structures for the Gyosei Art Trail, she has used the brace line between the tree trunks as a structural point for the two webs, just as a spider would take advantage of what it finds to weave its web across. The title ‘Arachne weaves’ refers to the myth of a mortal who was turned into a spider for daring to say her skill at weaving was greater than Athena’s. Linda hopes her sculpture will encourage visitors to look again at spiders, the beauty they create, perhaps story-telling a new myth of the spider which spins stainless steel webs.
Perhaps, birds can enjoy the freedom most in our planet! We see, everyday , they travel without any ban, they can have their wings open and fly over the air. Not all birds can fly---- I know. But mostly they do. What if we can travel like the birds? No ban imposed on travelling, no hatred towards others... We all are human, we all should be free, we all are equal--when we can achieve this motto? Will it be always our world in dream?
