BXL_06 [30 points]
One of the space invaders who made it not long during the official invasion wave of Invader and I have never been able to capture the original version of this I -Invader- BXL space invader near the Palais de Justice high above the Marolles neighbourhood. Here at sunset with a nive view over the city.
The city of Brussels has been invaded in 2012. Invader put up in total 40 space invaders during one single wave between 08/03/2012 and 15/03/2012 with a total score of 1130 points. Seven of these invaders are worth 50 points. No 10 or 100 points space invaders in Brussels.

Petřín Tower
The Petřín Lookout Tower (Czech: Petřínská rozhledna) is a steel-framework tower 63.5 metres tall on Petřín Hill in Prague, built in 1891. It resembles the Eiffel Tower and was used as an observation tower as well as a transmission tower. Today the tower is a major tourist attraction.
The Petřín Hill is roughly a half-hour walk up paths and the tower is also quite an arduous climb; however, the hill is served by a frequent Petřín funicular and the tower has an elevator for elderly and disabled people. In 2014 the tower was visited by more than 557,000 visitors, with foreigners accounting for over 70% of said visitors.
The two observation platforms are accessible via 299 stairs in sections of 13 per flight running around the inside of the structure. A pair of staircases form a double-helix structure allowing visitors travelling up and down concurrently.
Petřín Lookout Tower is often described a smaller version of the Eiffel Tower, which is 328m tall. In contrast to the Eiffel Tower, Petřín Lookout Tower has an octagonal, not square, cross-section. Further, it does not stand, as does the Eiffel Tower, on four columns of lattice steel. The whole area under its legs is covered with the entrance hall.

Euro-Tower 17/09/2017 13h11
The Euro-Tower is a 75 m high observation tower in the Europa-Park Rust. According to the principle of the gyro-tower, up to 50 people take a seat on the floor in an all-glass cabin, which then lifts up the mast of the tower and turns around the tower axis. After a few revolutions at the top of the mast, the cab goes down again. The travel time is 217 seconds, the capacity about 600 people per hour. The plant, which opened in 1983, was built by the company Intamin.
Here overlooking the village of Rust and its surroundings.
Europa-Park
Europa-Park is a theme park and the largest in Germany, and the second most popular theme park resort in Europe, following Disneyland Paris.
Europa-Park is located in Rust, in south-western Germany, between Freiburg and Strasbourg, France.
The park is home to 13 roller coasters, the oldest being Alpenexpress Enzian, a powered coaster that speeds through a diamond mine, and the newest coaster being the Ba-a-a Express, a small kiddie roller coaster. Europa-Park has very high capacity roller coasters and attractions meaning the park can accommodate up to approx. 60,000 guests per day. It counted just over 5.5 million visitors in 2015, generating an estimated total revenue of EUR 30 million per year.
Europa-Park is run by the Mack family, which have produced vehicles since 1780, circus wagons since 1880 and rollercoasters since 1921. Franz Mack (1921–2010) in 1958 took over the family firm, Mack GmbH & Co (now Mack Rides), together with his brothers. Together with his son Roland (b. 1949) he visited the USA in 1972 and was inspired to open a theme park in Germany, as an exhibition site for his company's products.
At first the park was planned to be located in Breisach. It was named "Europa-Park" after Breisach's nearby Europaweiher, a small artificial lake which commemorates a historical pilot poll in Breisach held in 1950, in which 95.6% of voters were in favour of European unification. The Breisach site was deemed unsuitable because of flooding hazard, and the project was moved some 30 km further north, where the Macks bought the park of the historical Balthasar castle in Rust. The park opened in 1975 with an area of 16 hectares. It counted 250,000 visitors in the first year, 700,000 in the second, passing the million mark in 1978.

A'Dam Tower
The A'DAM Tower is an almost 100 meters tall tower on the banks of the IJ in the North of Amsterdam opposite Centraal Station. The tower was designed by the Dutch architect Arthur Staal in 1966 on behalf of Royal Shell. The building was therefore better known as "Shell Tower" by many Amsterdam people. It is 22 stories high.
In January 2014, it was known that this tower under the name of A'DAM to a design by Claus and Kaan Architects would be redeveloped into a combination of offices, nightlife and an observation point with a revolving restaurant. To this end, a major renovation of the facade would be necessary, replacing the typical glass window with a thin layer of gold. Since the mast has been placed on the tower it is about 100 meters high.
On May 14, 2016, the renovated A'DAM Tower was opened.
A’DAM LOOKOUT is an observation deck with an unrivalled panoramic view of Amsterdam. You’ll see the city’s historical centre, its pulsating port, the unique Dutch polder landscape and you’ll spot the famous canals which belong to the UNESCO world heritage list. Complementing the experience is a state-of-the-art interactive exhibition about Amsterdam’s history and culture. A’DAM LOOKOUT is located on top of the A’DAM Tower in Amsterdam North.

Je suis dans mon poste d'observation. Je suis dans ma noble tour de guet. En effet, je ne suis pas dans n'importe quel lieu. Le clocher fortifié, mais depuis longtemps désarmé, de Notre-Dame, est mon point de vue. Mais où sont passés les galions et les frégates anglais, où sont bien passés les murs et la Tour de François Ier ? Les temps ont changé ! Depuis cette tour, nous avons vu passé les flottes et l'aviation anglaise ravager la ville à de multiple reprises, la vieille ville se moderniser, les immeubles de Perret pousser d'un champ de ruine, la Résidence de France remplacer l'immense atelier de chantier naval d'Augustin Normand. Nous avons vu du haut de ce clocher vu les navires apporter les morues, fruit de la pêche provenant de Terre-Neuve, les navires du Nouveau Monde apportant des épices et du coton récoltés par les esclaves, les baleiniers et l'âge d'or de la période des Transatlantiques.
Les choses ont bien changé, mais pas tout... Comme lors des pestes de 1563, de 1594 ou de 1920, comme lors des grandes épidémies de choléra et de dysenterie du XIXème siècle, une nouvelle épidémie plonge la ville et son port dans un mortel silence que seul le beffroi, qui se trouve à mes pieds, brise par ses merveilleuses sonneries.
Mont Ventoux | View Point 06/07/2014 14h19
To get a good view to the North from the summit of the Mont Ventoux they have created this view point about 200 meters from the observation tower and centre ville of the Mont Ventoux. Overlooking the Drôme and Vaucluse at the same time in North East direction.
Mont Ventoux
Mont Ventoux (Ventor in Provençal) is a mountain in the Provence region of southern France, located some 20 km northeast of Carpentras, Vaucluse. On the north side, the mountain borders the Drôme département. It is the largest mountain in the region and has been nicknamed the "Beast of Provence"] the "Giant of Provence", or "The Bald Mountain". It has gained fame through its use in the Tour de France cycling race.
As the name might suggest (venteux means windy in French), it can get windy at the summit, especially with the mistral; wind speeds as high as 320 km/h have been recorded. The wind blows at 90+ km/h 240 days a year. The road over the mountain is often closed due to high winds. Especially the "col de tempêtes" ("storm pass") just before the summit, which is known for its strong winds. The real origins of the name are thought to trace back to the 1st or 2nd century AD, when it was named 'Vintur' after a Gaulish god of the summits, or 'Ven-Top', meaning "snowy peak" in the ancient Gallic language. In the 10th century, the names Mons Ventosus and Mons Ventorius appear.
Mont Ventoux, although geologically part of the Alps, is often considered to be separate from them, due to the lack of mountains of a similar height nearby. It stands alone to the north of the Luberon range, separated by the Monts de Vaucluse, and just to the east of the Dentelles de Montmirail, its foothills. The top of the mountain is bare limestone without vegetation or trees, which makes the mountain's barren peak appear from a distance to be snow-capped all year round (its snow cover actually lasts from December to April). Its isolated position overlooking the valley of the Rhône ensures that it dominates the entire region and can be seen from many miles away on a clear day.
FACTS & FIGURES
Altitude: 1912 meters
Massif: Monts de Vaucluse (Alpes)
Age: 95 million years
Rocks: Calcaire

PA_1565 [40 points]
Invader collaborated on the "Video Games Music" exhibition at the beautiful Philharmonie de Paris. For Invader, this was the opportunity to provide both the Philharmonie de Paris and the Cité de la Musique with no fewer than 7 new space invaders (PA_1562 thru PA_1568). I am posting them in the order in which I found them.
Four Pac Man's with a stunningly beautiful view. You have to take the elevator to the 9th floor to spot these. The belvédère of this building is worth to go the way up anyway. And after enjoying the view, flashing the four Pac Man (PA_1565) you can walk zigzagging down.

Place Jemaa El Fna 03/07/2023 19h25
The place to be when in Marrakech. There is a lot going on at this central square. During the day but expecially at night when the temperatures are mostly much more pleasant (read: less hot). Point of view is the roof top terrace of Café de la Place.
Place Jemaa el-Fna
Jemaa el-Fnaa (Arabic: ساحة جامع الفناء ) also Jemaa el-Fna, Djema el-Fna or Djemaa el-Fnaa) is a square and market place in Marrakesh's medina quarter (old city). It remains the main square of Marrakesh, used by locals and tourists.
The origin of its name is unclear: jamaa means "congregation" or "mosque" in Arabic, probably referring to a destroyed mosque on the site. Fnaʼ or fanâʼ can mean "death/extinction" or "a courtyard, space in front of a building". "finâʼ in Arabic commonly means "open area"; a straight translation would be "the gathering/congregation area". Other meanings could be "The assembly of death," or "The Mosque at the End of the World". Another explanation is that it refers to a mosque with a distinctive courtyard or square in front of it. A third translation is "assembly of the dead", referring to public executions on the plaza around 1050 CE.
During the day it is predominantly occupied by orange juice stalls, water sellers with traditional leather water-bags and brass cups, youths with chained Barbary apes and snake charmers despite the protected status of these species under Moroccan law.
As the day progresses, the entertainment on offer changes: the snake charmers depart, and late in the day the square becomes more crowded, with Chleuh dancing-boys (it would be against custom for girls to provide such entertainment), story-tellers (telling their tales in Berber or Arabic, to an audience of locals), magicians, and peddlers of traditional medicines. As darkness falls, the square fills with dozens of food-stalls as the number of people on the square peaks.
The square is edged along one side by the Marrakesh souk, a traditional North African market catering both for the common daily needs of the locals, and for the tourist trade. On other sides are hotels and gardens and café terraces, and narrow streets lead into the alleys of the medina quarter.
Second Best "52 Weeks Project"
Since I have been joining the 52 Weeks Project on Flickr it has happened several times that I had to chose between two or more self portraits that week. A difficult choice. The solution is to create a set of all good alternatives. Life is full of choices and sometimes a week has too much opportunities. This is one of those alternatives, the second best. And sometimes just as good.
An afternoon well spent in la Principauté de Monaco...
Location: Viewpoint at the Place du Palais overlooking Monaco Monte Carlo and Port Hercule at altitude of 60 meters above sea level.
Reason: We spent an afternoon in Monaco the day after we hiked the Gorges du Verdon with colleagues of Thalys NL, B and F.
Monaco: Monaco, officially the Principality of Monaco (French: Principauté de Monaco), is a sovereign city-state, country and microstate but claimed by the Occitan nationalism, located on the French Riviera in Western Europe. France borders the country on three sides while the other side borders the Mediterranean Sea. Monaco has an area of 2.02 km2 and a population of about 38,400 according to the last census of 2016.
With 19,009 inhabitants per km², it is the second smallest and the most densely populated country in the world. Monaco has a land border of 5.47 km, a coastline of 3.83 km, and a width that varies between 1,700 and 349 m. The highest point in the country is a narrow pathway named Chemin des Révoires on the slopes of Mont Agel, in the Les Révoires Ward, which is 161 metres above sea level.

Philharmonie de Paris: The Philharmonie de Paris is a cultural institution in Paris, France which combine spaces all dedicated to music. It is composed of concert halls, exhibition spaces, rehearsal rooms, educational services, restaurant and bars. The main buildings are all located in the Parc de la Villette at the northeastern edge of Paris in the 19th arrondissement. At the core of this set of spaces is the symphonic concert hall of 2,400 seats designed by Jean Nouvel and opened in January 2015.
The hall opened on 14 January 2015, with a performance by the Orchestre de Paris of Faure's Requiem, conducted by Paavo Järvi, played to honor the victims of the Charlie Hebdo shootings which had taken place in the city a week earlier. It is located in the Parc de la Villette in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. This sector of the city was also the home of the two brothers who carried out these killings. The opening concert was attended by French President François Hollande, but boycotted by the architect.
Designed by Jean Nouvel, the Philharmonie 1 is an organic design with innovative forms rising like a hill within the Parc de la Villette. Aluminium panels in a basketweave design swirl tightly around the structure and contrast with the rest of its matte exterior. The exterior features the images of 340,000 birds etched into the surface in seven different shapes and four shades ranging from light grey to black to symbolize a grand take-off. The rooftop, 37 metres high, will be open to the public and will give visitors an expansive view of the city blending into the suburbs.

Prague
Prague (Czech: Praha) is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic and the historical capital of Bohemia. Situated on the Vltava river (Moldau), Prague is home to about 1.4 million people.
Prague is a political, cultural, and economic hub of Central Europe, with a rich history and Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia and residence of several Holy Roman Emperors, most notably Charles IV (r. 1346–1378) and Rudolf II (r. 1575–1611). It was an important city to the Habsburg monarchy and Austria-Hungary. The city played major roles in the Bohemian and the Protestant Reformations, the Thirty Years' War and in 20th-century history as the capital of Czechoslovakia between the World Wars and the post-war Communist era.

"Vyhlídka u Černé věže" Viewpoint from the entrance of Prague Castle
Point de vue depuis l'entrée du château de Prague
Shōdoshima is the 19th largest island in Japan, second largest in the Inland Sea. It is not far from Takamatsu (Shijkoku) and not far from Koba too (1h by ferry) so it is a good way to see the Inland see. For me I decided to go there just the day before after watching a review in my hotel. The island is about 20 km but when I arrived there I could rent a bike and cross the island easily. Bicycle is pretty safe in Japan because you can cycle on the pavement.
"El Bohemio, poeta de Montmartre"
(Retrato del compositor Erik Satie). 1891
Gracias a la información gentilmente proporcionada por D. Gabriel Pinós, ahora puedo presentar este cuadro como una obra única y no en dos versiones como hasta hoy se veía.
Hasta tener esta información, debido a la ausencia de los farolillos del fondo, (que marcan la presencia del Parque del Galette) no sabíamos si se trataba de dos obras distintas o si era el mismo retrato después de un tratamiento posterior.
Creemos que el fondo de los dos retratos es el mismo que aparece en la obra "Plen-Air". (Obra siguiente).
