thank you so much for stopping by and taking time to make a comment. have a great evening, everybody :))))
Takao (高尾) is a community in Hachiouji city municipality (八王子市) located at the foot of Takaosan. It has been serving pilgrims and visitors to Takaosan like Mitake in Oume municipality.
There are restaurants and souvenir shops, some of which maintain traditional architectural designs. They have a strange tradition (?) of closing before 6 PM despite the popularity of seeing sunset at the summit of Takaosan.
Stone lanterns are installed to mark the entrance of the winding approach to Takaosan Yakuou'in temple.
Takao is served by Keio Railways, which takes you to Shinjuku in 50 minutes. The name of the railway station is Takaosan-guchi (高尾山口) or the mouth of Takaosan.
Hachiouji is a prosperous city that strides over Chichibu Mountains (秩父山地) and Kantou Plain (関東平野). It has a population of more than half a million being successful in attracting universities, research institutions and factories.
Tulum (Spanish pronunciation: [tuˈlum], Yucatec Maya: Tulu'um) is the site of a pre-Columbian Mayan walled city which served as a major port for Coba, in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo] The ruins are situated on 12-meter (39 ft) tall cliffs along the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.Tulum was one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Maya; it was at its height between the 13th and 15th centuries and managed to survive about 70 years after the Spanish began occupying Mexico. Old World diseases brought by the Spanish settlers appear to have resulted in very high fatalities, disrupting the society, and eventually causing the city to be abandoned.[citation needed] One of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites, Tulum is today a popular site for tourists.

Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares - Sevilla
El Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de la ciudad de Sevilla (Andalucía, España) está localizado en la plaza de América del parque de María Luisa. Al otro lado de la plaza se encuentra el Museo Arqueológico. Fue el pabellón de Arte Antiguo de la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929.
Fue planteado como pabellón de Industrias, Manufacturas y Artes Decorativas. Finalmente, se le llamó pabellón de Arte Antiguo e Industrias Artísticas. Se trata de un edificio proyectado en 1913 y construido en 1914 por el arquitecto Aníbal González, autor también de los otros edificios levantados en la misma plaza de América. Es de ladrillo visto con motivos decorativos de cerámica. Por su estilo arquitectónico, fue conocido como el pabellón Mudéjar.
En principio constaba de dos plantas sobre una cámara de aireación para evitar la humedad. Se realiza una mejora durante la década de 1960 en la planta principal, que tenía más de doce metros de altura, y se dividió con una planta artificial (corresponde a la planta primera) por el arquitecto Antonio Delgado y Roig. En 1972 se unen las plantas con una gran escalera de caracol que diseña el arquitecto José Galnares Sagastizábal, trabajo que realiza después de que la construcción fuese designada para albergar el museo por el Decreto de Creación del Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, con fecha de 23 de marzo de 1972, constituido como una sección del Museo de Bellas Artes.
Sus funciones como museo se desarrollan desde el 4 de marzo de 1973, fecha en que abre sus puertas al público.

Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville
The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville (Spanish: Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares) is a museum in Seville, Andalusia, Spain, located in the María Luisa Park, across the Plaza de América from the Provincial Archeological Museum.
The museum occupies the Mudéjar Pavilion (Pabellón Mudéjar) designed by Aníbal González and built in 1914. It served as an art pavilion, the Pabellón de Arte Antiguo, for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, when Aníbal González had the opportunity to design several additional permanent buildings for the plaza. The exterior is ceramic over brick, and has three doors with archivolts adorned with glazed tiles (azulejos).[citation needed]
The building originally consisted of two stories over an aeration chamber (necessary because of the humidity). In the 1960s, the main floor, originally over 12 metres (39 ft) high, was divided in two, with an intermediate level added by architect Delgado Roig. In 1972, as part of the preparations for the current museum, the various stories of the building were connected by a grand spiral staircase designed by José Galnares Sagastizábal.
The museum was established by a decree of 23 March 1972, initially as a section of the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville. It opened its doors to the public 4 March 1973.[2] For the next seven years, the museum fell under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Science, but the city government occupied more than half of the poorly maintained building. Neither institution took full responsibility. This situation led to a series of temporary closures. In 1976, the electric bill could not be paid, and the museum had to be shut until it could get power again. In 1979, heavy rains damaged the interior.

Santa María la Blanca, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
Santa María la Blanca es un templo ubicado en la ciudad española de Toledo. Construida en el 1180 como sinagoga y, habiendo funcionado como tal durante 211 años, fue expropiada y transformada en iglesia como consecuencia del pogromo de 1391. En la actualidad el edificio pertenece a la Iglesia católica, pero no se realiza culto en él. Se encuentra abierto al público y funciona como museo o centro en el que se desarrollan actividades tanto culturales como educativas.
Construido en 1180 (según testimonia la inscripción visible en una de sus vigas), este edificio mudéjar posee cinco naves separadas por pilares sobre los que descansan arcos de herradura. Si bien existe cierto contraste entre la sobriedad del exterior de la sinagoga y su elaborado interior, el edificio presenta no poca austeridad. Conforme a la tradición oriental, el mismo 'vive' hacia el interior. Esta sinagoga tuvo considerable influencia sobre otras sinagogas españolas; tal es el caso, por ejemplo, de la sinagoga de Segovia.
Se trata de una construcción mudéjar, creada por canteros musulmanes. Sus elementos de arquitectura incluyen paredes blancas y lisas, hechas de ladrillo, arcos de herradura y pilares octogonales, decoración geométrica en los frisos y vegetal en los capiteles de los pilares. Todas estas características y la distribución de los espacios, con sus naves formadas por la sucesión de arcos de herradura soportados por pilares, tienden a recordar la tipología propia de una mezquita. La articulación interior y estilo morisco de Santa María la Blanca han servido de modelo para importantes sinagogas europeas y americanas del siglo XIX.
Los 32 pilares de este templo son de ladrillo recubierto por cemento y cal. Ornados de piñas y volutas, sus capiteles denotan influencia del arte románico. Por encima de los arcos de herradura prevalece la ornamentación abstracta en frisos horizontales que incluye molduras con delicados motivos basados en la interacción de líneas y medallones. Los entrelazados geométricos formados por las líneas son de origen almohade.
Santa María la Blanca is a temple located in the Spanish city of Toledo. Built in 1180 as a synagogue, and having functioned as such for 211 years, it was expropriated and transformed into a church as a result of the pogrom of 1391. Today the building belongs to the Catholic Church, but no worship is held there. It is open to the public and functions as a museum or centre where both cultural and educational activities are held.
Built in 1180 (as evidenced by the inscription visible on one of its beams), this Mudejar building has five naves separated by pillars on which horseshoe arches rest. Although there is a certain contrast between the sobriety of the synagogue's exterior and its elaborate interior, the building is not without austerity. In accordance with Eastern tradition, it 'lives' towards the interior. This synagogue had considerable influence on other Spanish synagogues; such is the case, for example, of the synagogue of Segovia.
This is a Mudejar construction, created by Muslim stonemasons. Its architectural elements include smooth white brick walls, horseshoe arches and octagonal pillars, geometric decoration on the friezes and plant decoration on the capitals of the pillars. All these characteristics and the distribution of the spaces, with its naves formed by the succession of horseshoe arches supported by pillars, tend to recall the typology of a mosque. The interior articulation and Moorish style of Santa María la Blanca have served as a model for important European and American synagogues of the 19th century.
The 32 pillars of this temple are made of brick covered with cement and lime. Decorated with pine cones and volutes, their capitals denote the influence of Romanesque art. Above the horseshoe arches, abstract ornamentation prevails in horizontal friezes that include moldings with delicate motifs based on the interaction of lines and medallions. The geometric interlacing formed by the lines is of Almohad origin.

It's about time I posted photos of my big brother ... he is the reason I took up photography now more than 50 years ago. Today would have been his 73rd birthday but he left us at age 46. I won't bother with bemoaning and detailing how profound our loss was ... he wouldn't condone it if he were here.
We photographed together when time and circumstance allowed and I would often turn my camera to him as my subject. Two examples of my informal portraiture of him are in this diptych. Although I had no way of knowing it at the time, all of these extemporaneous portraits would become a treasure to me after his death. I return to them often to provoke good memories that deserve provocation for their goodness and if only to remind me of our times together and to serve as the 'voice in my ear' when I am editing my own work. I often look at my own images when deciding if they are 'keepers' by asking myself "what would my brother have said about them?" It keeps me honest in some mysterious and wondrous way ... thank you big brother and happy birthday. "Anon, or sooner!"
After a very slow morning at Burnham Prairie, I was about to pack it up and go home when a disturbance in the water caught my curiosity.
A northern water snake had caught a very large catfish by the head and was trying its hardest to subdue its victim. The snake finally went under the water with its meal and was never seen again.

My final upload for 2023, so I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year & hope that it will prove a good one for you.
It's also my final Northumberland contribution to the 100 in 2023 group - I did better this year than last but still fell quite a way short!

Years ago I bought a pack of 'Happy to Serve You' disposable paper cups in N.Y., to bring home a litlle Morning-New-York-Style to the somewhat slower countryside mornings in Denmark.
The flash was on automatic, and didn't go off on most of the images, but in this one, the coffee looks just as golden as the first cup tastes :-)

I believe there are less than 200 former Southern high hoods left in active service that haven't had their noses whacked. Many are yard jockeys that remain in captivity and go un-shot. However, every once in a while one of them escapes the confines of the yard and gets to stretch it's legs for a few days.
I was out and about earlier this week and was caught by surprise when I saw this battle worn GP38-2 on the Harrisburg local HH11. A few shots as they worked and off I went. But I was determined to catch him again and slow that shutter speed waaaaay down.
Yesterday, as the late November afternoon sun sunk lower and lower in the sky, the 11 crew needed to come out of Harrisburg Yard for some headroom so they could reverse back into another yard track to work the scrap yard on Cameron Street. BOOM. Time to roll. As the engineer grabs a fist full of throttle I ratcheted down to 1/6 and let the pixels fly.

A westbound Southern Pacific train emerges from Tunnel 7, while entering Tunnel 6 on Main 1 near Donner Summit in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
Tunnel 6 on Main 1 features the highest point on the original SP main line, crossing Donner Summit at 7,000 feet above sea level. The 1,659 ft. long bore, blasted out of solid granite, required nearly a year to complete, finished by August 1867.
Main 1 was removed from service by SP in 1993, and the ties and rails were repurposed to double track the Sunset Route. Today, the abandoned tunnels and snow sheds of Main 1 serve as a trail for curious hikers and railroad historians.

Ritsurin Koen (栗林公園) is a landscape garden in Takamatsu City, built by the local feudal lords during the early Edo Period. Considered one of the best gardens in Japan, it is often suggested that Ritsurin Koen deserves a spot on the list of the "three most beautiful gardens of Japan" alongside Kanazawa's Kenrokuen, Mito's Kairakuen, and Okayama's Korakuen.
The spacious park features many ponds, hills, trees and beautiful pavilions divided into a Japanese-style garden in the south and Western-style garden in the north. The gardens are set in front of wooded Mt. Shiun which serves as a wonderful background and great example of borrowed scenery in Japanese garden design.
Inside the park are a number of facilities, including a folk museum, shops and a few resthouses where you can take a break and enjoy some refreshments amidst the beauty of the garden. Of particular note is the Kikugetsu-tei teahouse in the southwest part of the gardens where, for a small fee, you can enter and enjoy some tea on its verandas overlooking the ponds.

Fuji X-E2 plus Samyang telephoto mirror lens. Perhaps any image made away from the scene and trying to honestly symbolise the suffering in Gaza must be inadequate. "Let them eat lead" is my attempt to visualise the disregard for Palestinian life that is en vogue among the Israeli government. Terms like "war crimes" and "genocide" are in the air and they undermine the legitimacy of the State of Israel and the very reason for its establishment. Huge damage has been done to the lives of the Palestinians and, concerning the reputation of Israel, a demolition job is going on.
