Metelkova is one of the weirdest places to see in Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital. Formerly, the site was the Slovenian headquarter of the Yugoslav National Army. The buildings have been squatted since September 1993 in a declared illegal way, mainly by artists, activists and young students. In 2005, Metelkova was declared a national cultural heritage site and the European Cultural Fund attributes financial support. If you like graffiti, weird art, and quirky sculptures then this is the place to head to.

IN ITS HEYDAY, PANAM NAGAR was home to a prosperous community of Hindu merchants that turned the medieval Bengali capital into a thriving textile trading hub in the 19th century. It’s no coincidence that the East India Company set up its permanent offices in Panam Nagar (Panam City), which was then the Bengali capital. Yet if textiles brought wealth to the town, they likely contributed to its downfall as well.
Uncertainty surrounds the origins of the fire that razed much of the historic city to the ground, but the fact that such a large number of textiles were stored in the buildings here made the area a huge fire hazard. It is also not clear whether the Hindu community abandoned Panam Nagar before or after the rumor that the town was haunted began. What is known is that what’s left of Panam Nagar has been left derelict for decades, and locals have nicknamed it “Ghost City” and “City of the Dead.”
Only 52 of the city’s original buildings are still standing. Most are two-story structures, standing one attached to the other along the main thoroughfare. The oldest of these buildings is said to date back to the 15th century, but most are from the 19th century. It is obvious that these were buildings made for affluent residents, judging from the colonial architecture, the thickness of the walls, and their endurance in spite of decades of neglect.

In the Bohemian Forest, one will find sun-drenched meadows and dark valleys. As a result of the 2nd World War the German population had to leave their homes. After 1945, houses, schools, palaces and churches were razed to the ground. Now moss and shrubbery cover the remnants of dozens villages, hamlets, wastelands and industrial plants.The former Grafenried (cz Lučina) is one of these places. The village stood on a small hill near the German border (now crossing Untergrafenried) west of Nemanice. There lived about 800 people. After the end of World War 2, the German population was deported from the border area and the village was destroyed. Due to a local initiative the church and the cemetery can be visited.
I posted a shot of this abandoned farmhouse back on January 20th. Here it is being razed to make way for another industrial park. It's particularly sad since it wasn't a ruin and had been sealed up well since it was abandoned. Unlike many of the farmhouses I photograph this one could have been saved. Built in 1840 it was one of the few houses left from a town that no longer exists.

The oldest parts of this impressive castle, which I had not yet seen, date from the 1100s. It was first dismantled in 1395 as its lords had chosen the wrong side in the Breton War of Succession. Rebuilt from 1406 as we can still see it today, it was regarded as a threat to the monarchy by Richelieu and therefore dismantled again in 1626. Owing to the loyalty of the Goyon de la Moussaye family, then lords of the castle, this dismantling was only partial, where other such castles were almost entirely razed.
This is the façade of the inner castle, with the outer sheet wall visible on either side.
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, is also known as The Guitar Hotel due to its tower constructed to resemble a guitar, is a hotel and casino resort in Hollywood, Florida, United States, located on 100 acres (40 ha) of the Hollywood Reservation of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The property currently has one hotel tower, a 140,000 sq ft (13,000 m2) casino, a large poker room, a 4-acre (1.6 ha) lagoon-style pool facility with a center bar, and many private restaurants, shops, spa, cabanas, bars, and nightclubs, and the Hard Rock Event Center. A large expansion was completed in October 2019.
The resort currently has a 12-story "classic Hard Rock Hotel" with 469 guest rooms and suites. Guests are greeted by a 50-foot (15 m) tall signature Hard Rock guitar, (based on a famous Gibson electric guitar model) at the entrance of the hotel, along with a massive LED advertising screen at the front of the main parking garage. The resort has 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2) of meeting space, including a 38,000-square-foot (3,500 m2) exhibit hall.
The Hard Rock's $1.5 billion property expansion project added a 450-foot (140 m) tower designed to appear as a guitar, with lights providing the imagery of guitar strings, and 638 rooms alongside a seven-story, 168-room "Oasis Tower" overlooking the pool cabanas— open on October 24, 2019, several months in advance of Super Bowl LIV being held in Miami on February 2, 2020. The expansion also included a 42,000-square-foot (3,900 m2) "Rock Spa", and over 20 new dining and nightlife destinations. Between the existing 12-story hotel, new Guitar Hotel, and new Oasis Tower, over 1,200 hotel rooms became available in October 2019.
On May 9, 2014, Seminole Chief Jim Billie announced a $100 million upgrade of the tribe's casinos, with much of that spent on the Hard Rock Hollywood location, including improved entryways, center pool bar, pool facility upgrades, updated hotel room, and suite interiors, and a new restaurant. As of March 2019, the tribe's upgrade budget was significantly increased to over $2.4 billion, split mainly between this location and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tampa.
The current casino layout covers over 140,000 sq ft (13,000 m2) featuring slot machines and various table games including blackjack, baccarat, mini-baccarat, Pai Gow poker, Let It Ride, and three-card poker. The casino does not have live craps and roulette, although there are electronic versions of those games available. As of June 2018, the poker room is located in a former ballroom area, relocated from its prior venue due to ongoing construction work.
Blackjack is the most popular card game in the United States and was an addition to the casino. In a deal valued at $1.1 billion, former Governor Charlie Crist gave the Seminole Tribe a license for blackjack in its casinos. In exchange, The Seminole Tribe loaned the State of Florida $1.1 billion over the course of two years. On July 3, 2008, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that the governor's agreement was unconstitutional, but table games continue to operate because the Federal Department of the Interior approved the now-invalid pact with the state. The addition of blackjack to the Hard Rock casinos in Hollywood and Tampa gave credibility to its claim of being a major gambling destination.[
Hard Rock Live is a 7,000 seat multi-purpose theater, which opened on October 25, 2019, with a concert by Maroon 5. The theater replaced a 5,500 seat arena (razed in March 2018 as part of the property-wide expansion) of the same name, which hosted different types of events including musical acts, comedians, boxing, and other smaller events, along with a residency by Billy Joel. During construction of the new theater, events were held at the temporary 3,500 seat Hard Rock Event Center, which hosted acts including Britney Spears on her Piece of Me Tour.
The 69th edition of the Miss Universe competition was held on May 16, 2021, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino where Zozibini Tunzi of South Africa crowned her successor Andrea Meza of Mexico at the end of the event.
Model Anna Nicole Smith, who was staying at the resort, died in her hotel suite on February 8, 2007. An autopsy ruled her death was caused by an accidental drug overdose from prescription drugs.

View from the top of the main chedi: Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon or the Great Monastery of Auspicious Victory is located off the city island in the southeastern area of Ayutthaya in present Phai Ling Sub-district.
In the past it bears other names as Wat Pa Kaeo or Wat Chao Phraya Thai and Wat Yai Chaiya Mongkhon.
In the year 1357 two princes of Ayutthaya (Chao Kaeo and Chao Thai) died of cholera. King Ramathibodhi I (r. 1350 - 1369) ordered the bodies of both princes to be exhumed and at the cremation site be established a monastery with a holy monument (stupa) and a preaching hall (viharn). He gave the monastery the name "Wat Pa Kaeo" or the Monastery of the Crystal Forest.
Ayutthaya is a city in Thailand about 80 kilometers north of Bangkok. It was capital of the Kingdom of Siam and a prosperous international trading port from 1350 until razed by the Burmese in 1767. The ruins of the old city now form the Ayutthaya Historical Park which is an archaeological site that contains palaces/Buddhist temples/monasteries and statues. The park is on an island between 3 rivers.

Cut to Mateo Lopez, expertly waterskiing on the lake.
Mateo: (shouts to Sienna Dane at the wheel) Take me in! (as the boat
approaches the dock, he spots Caly coming out of the office, dressed in
her park uniform) Nice!
(Staring at her, Mateo releases the drag line, allowing momentum to
carry him onto the beach. But his expertise goes unnoticed by Caly as
she is joined by Camp Director Wilson, who is apparently giving her the
orientation tour of the RV park.)
(Sienna secures the boat before walking down the short dock, stepping
over Mateo's skis to stand beside him, following his line of sight.)
Sienna: Must be the new girl.
Mateo: There's a new girl?
Sienna: Remember? Last meeting? Director Wilson said Jerry was
graduating and going to work for his dad's company.
Mateo: I have a blind spot regarding anything about Jerry.
Sienna: Because he beat your War Wolf high score?
Mateo: Because he was a boring cheater. What's her name?
(They begin strolling toward the main lodge.)
Sienna: What do I get out of it?
Mateo: You're bargaining for a name?
Sienna: I've seen her file. I can tell you more than her name.
Mateo: (looks impressed) What do you want?
Sienna: I've got kitchen clean-up duty tonight. You cover and I will
spill the tea.
Mateo: I hate clean-up.
Sienna: She's seventeen. That info's free. The rest will cost you
clean-up duty.
Mateo: Oo, nice safety. Thanks for the warning. Gentlemanly approach,
nothing freaky. Okay, I'll cover clean-up. (they enter a side door
marked, "Employees Only."

(She starts across the nightclub, intent on rescuing Sienna while the
music changes to Toby Fox - Megalovania. She passes Lucas talking to Girl1/Laithi.)
Lucas: I can't believe you beat my high score. I'm Lucas.
Laithi: Laithi, but you can call me, LA.
Lucas: LA. Cool. Is that where you're from?
Laithi: And other places. I'm just visiting family.
Lucas: Around here?
Laithi: Sort of. Hunts Point.
Lucas: (impressed) Wow. You might as well have said, Moneyburg.
Laithi: (laughs lightly) It's not so different.
Lucas: It's different enough that I'll never see past the gates. (smiling)
Laithi: You never know what can be arranged.
(MEANWHILE - Cut to the ballroom where people are applauding as the woman married to
the current president of the USA steps away from the podium, taking
Trajan's offered hand, as he helps her descend the steps.)
Trajan: Another inspiring speech, Lilitus. The Assembly is made glorious
by your presence!

I tried something different with this scene. There were two things happening at the same time. Rather than a split screen for my "meanwhile" scene, I layered it over the club.
Let me know what you think. Does it work or suck? lol
My keyboard setup for my PC games. I have an external keyboard on my left hand and my mouse has 12 numerical buttons on the side. I thought it would be fun to get a picture of my setup in the dark, i had a mini flashlight light up my hand through the exposure.

I often wish I could turn back the clock to see this vantage point in 1950. The former Glen Rock hotel (directly behind the engines) has now been repurposed into apartments. The former Southern Railway yard tower stands un-used, as well as almost all of the west yard buildings in this image. A Southern Railway "Containerized Freight" rail highway trailer sits at the bottom center of the image, no doubt having spent the last 30+ years in the same spot. Barely noticeable are the cameras installed so the yard can be run remotely from Hayne yard (near Spartanburg, SC). The biggest urban travesty however lies with what cannot be seen. Between the Glen Rock and the first tankcar on the train once stood one of Southern Railway's beautiful white stucco stations built in 1905. Unfortunately it was razed in 1968, just a few years before Asheville got serious about saving it's historic buildings.

España - Ciudad Real - Viso del Marqués - Palacio del Marqués de Santa Cruz
***
ENGLISH:
It was built at the end of the 16th century by Álvaro de Bazán, first Marquis of Santa Cruz. It is currently the headquarters of the General Archive of the Navy.
It is one of the two palaces built by this sailor, knight of the Order of Santiago, captain of the Ocean Sea and admiral of the Spanish Navy. It is located next to the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, and since 1948 it has been rented by its owners, the Marquises of Santa Cruz, to the Spanish Navy, who first used it as a Museum of the Spanish Navy and later expanded its functions by also establishing the General Archive of the Navy.
The building was frequented by the first marquis thanks to its location, halfway between Madrid, where the Court was, and Seville, whose port he often went to as the Spanish Navy was anchored there, of which he was admiral during the reign of Philip II.
The palace was nearly destroyed by the Austrian troops of Edward Hamilton during the War of the Spanish Succession at the beginning of the 18th century, but was saved by the actions of the Marquis's chaplain, the poet Carlos de Praves, thanks to whom we can admire it today. It suffered some damage due to the Lisbon earthquake in 1755, which collapsed the ceiling of the hall of honour, where the great fresco depicting the Battle of Lepanto had been painted, and toppled the four corner towers, which the chronicles of Philip II described as magnificent.
In it we can find maritime objects from the period. A figurehead belonging to a ship commanded by the Marquis is noteworthy. During the War of Independence, the French razed it, and by the time the Civil War came it had served as a granary, school, stable, prison and hospital, until in 1948 and at the request of Julio Guillén Tato, director of the Naval Museum, Mrs. Casilda de Silva Fdez. de Henestrosa, descendant of Álvaro de Bazán, rented it to the Navy for 90 years as a museum-archive, which is its current function. Also, in the adjoining parish church there is a 4m long stuffed crocodile attached to one of the vaults, which was offered by the Marquis as a votive offering upon his return from one of his voyages.
Between March and April 1823, King Ferdinand VII spent the night there, after leaving Madrid for Seville, before the entry of the French contingent called the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis, about whose stay Ferdinand VII did not write a word in his travel diary. The palace was declared a National Monument in 1931 and was restored from 1948 by the Navy under the direction of Admiral Guillén.
The palace was built between 1564 and 1586 with subsequent modifications. It is a square-shaped building in the Renaissance style, built around a Renaissance atrium with a recumbent tomb. The walls and ceilings are covered with frescoes with two themes: mythological scenes on the one hand and naval battles and Italian cities related to the military career of the Marquis and his family on the other. The frescoes are by Italian Mannerist painters, the Péroli family. Upon seeing them, Philip II commissioned them to do work for El Escorial and the Alcázar of Toledo.
For its construction, the Marquis hired a team of architects, painters and decorators who worked on the building from 1564 to 1586. For some, the design of the building was due to the Italian Giovanni Battista Castello, known as the Bergamasco, who later worked in El Escorial; for others, it was designed, at least in its original plan, by Enrique Egas el Mozo.
The architecture is perceived as typically Spanish, without Italian arches, with smooth walls and square towers at the corners, influenced by the austerity of El Escorial and the Alcázar of Toledo, within the harmonious relationships characteristic of the Renaissance. The central space is occupied by a porticoed courtyard that, together with the staircase, forms a typically mannerist ensemble understood as an elegant and courtly style that goes beyond the merely architectural framework.

ESPAÑOL:
Fue construido a finales del siglo XVI por Álvaro de Bazán, primer marqués de Santa Cruz. Actualmente es la sede del Archivo General de la Marina.
Se trata de uno de los dos palacios construidos este marino, caballero de la Orden de Santiago, capitán del Mar Océano y almirante de la Marina española. Está situado al lado de la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, y desde el año 1948 es alquilado por parte de sus propietarios, los marqueses de Santa Cruz, a la Armada Española, quien primero lo destinó a Museo de la Marina Española y más tarde amplió sus funciones estableciendo también el Archivo General de la Marina.
El edificio era frecuentado por el primer marqués gracias a su ubicación, a medio camino entre Madrid, donde estaba la Corte, y Sevilla, a cuyo puerto acudía a menudo al mantener allí anclada la Armada Española, de la cual fue almirante durante el reinado de Felipe II.
El palacio estuvo a punto de ser destruido por las tropas austracistas de Edward Hamilton durante la Guerra de Sucesión Española a principios del siglo XVIII, salvándose por la actuación del capellán del marqués, el poeta Carlos de Praves, gracias a lo cual hoy podemos admirarlo. Sufrió algunos daños a causa del terremoto de Lisboa en 1755: el cual hundió el techo del salón de honor, donde se había pintado el gran fresco que representaba la batalla de Lepanto, y desmochó las cuatro torres de las esquinas, que las crónicas de Felipe II describían como magníficas.
En él podemos encontrar objetos marineros de la época. Llama la atención un mascarón de proa perteneciente a una nave que dirigió el marqués. Durante la Guerra de la Independencia, los franceses lo arrasaron, y para cuando llegó la Guerra Civil había servido de granero, colegio, establo, cárcel y hospital, hasta que en 1948 y a instancias de Julio Guillén Tato, director del Museo Naval, doña Casilda de Silva Fdez. de Henestrosa, descendiente de Álvaro de Bazán se lo rentó a la Armada por 90 años como museo-archivo, que es en la actualidad su función. Asimismo, en la iglesia parroquial aledaña hay un cocodrilo disecado de 4m de largo adosado a una de las bóvedas, que fue ofrecido por el marqués como exvoto al regreso de uno de sus viajes.
Entre marzo y abril de 1823, el rey Fernando VII pernoctó allí, tras abandonar Madrid rumbo a Sevilla, ante la entrada del contingente francés llamado los Cien Mil Hijos de San Luis, de cuya estancia Fernando VII no escribió ni una palabra en su diario del viaje. El palacio fue declarado Monumento Nacional en 1931 siendo restaurado a partir de 1948 por la Armada bajo la dirección del Almirante Guillén.
El palacio fue construido entre 1564 y 1586 con modificaciones posteriores, y se trata de un edificio de planta cuadrada y estilo renacentista articulado en torno a un atrio renacentista con una tumba yacente. Los muros y techos se hallan cubiertos de frescos de doble temática: por un lado, escenas mitológicas y, por otro, batallas navales y ciudades italianas relacionadas con la trayectoria militar del marqués y de sus familiares. Los frescos se deben a unos pintores manieristas italianos, los Péroli. Al verlos, Felipe II les encargaría trabajos para El Escorial y el Alcázar de Toledo.
Para su construcción, el marqués contrató a un equipo de arquitectos, pintores y decoradores que trabajaron en la obra desde 1564 hasta 1586. Para algunos, el diseño del edificio se debió al italiano Giovanni Battista Castello, conocido como el Bergamasco, que más tarde trabajó en El Escorial; para otros lo trazó, al menos en su plan original, Enrique Egas el Mozo.
La arquitectura se percibe como típica española, sin las arquerías italianas, con paramentos lisos y torres cuadradas en las esquinas, influidos por la austeridad de El Escorial y el Alcázar de Toledo, dentro de las relaciones armónicas características del Renacimiento. El espacio central está ocupado por un patio porticado que junto con la escalera forma un conjunto típicamente manierista entendido como estilo elegante y cortesano que desborda el marco meramente arquitectónico.
About Material World:
Sand, salt, iron, copper, oil, and lithium. These fundamental materials have created empires, razed civilizations, and fed our ingenuity and greed for thousands of years. Without them, our modern world would not exist, and the battle to control them will determine our future. A well written 2023 book by Ed Conway.
The author:
Ed Conway is the Economics Editor of Sky News, the 24-hour television news service operated by Sky Group. He is based at Sky Central in Osterley in West London. He is a former correspondent for the Daily Mail newspaper and the Economics Editor of The Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph newspapers. He became Sky News' first Economics Editor in 2011.
My Take:
This is one of those books that gives you a 30,000' view of a topic of global significance. These 6 materials that we extract from this earth make our modern civilization possible... right or wrong. On one hand we hear about the horrors of the reality of mining the earth's resources in all corners of the earth - and then the argument that we have to continue it for the foreseeable future in order to achieve our quest for our low carbon sustainable future. It makes one think that there is not the green utopian future that is promised by the globalists - and the simplistic answers of the "do nothing" crowd because there is no problem rings hollow.
