This is the Palácio da Justiça in Lisbon, it was designed by Januário Godinho and João Andresen back in 1962, and the project was open to the public in 1970. Today, this is where the Lisbon Court and the Public Prosecutor's Office are located.
We were there early on our second day in Lisbon after we saved this location.
Oh dear, oh dear, I got arrested for hurting Wrinkly. I had to tell every little detail about yesterday. I also had to get my pawprints taken and now (as you can see) they’re taking mug shots. All I want to do is get home and see if Wrinkly is ok.

I'm sure there is a name for these classic beauties but I don't know what it is.
it's short back there. She used a razor on most of my head and just kept tossing chunks of hair to the floor and I'm sitting there staring at my disembodied ponytail on her counter and reminding myself that she's been cutting my hair for five years and I know she's not going to do anything crazy. It'll probably be easy to style though. And at least it's not touching my neck or my arms anymore!
The mosque Jama Masjid (meaning Friday Mosque ) is the oldest and most splendid mosque of Ahmedabad, built in 1424 during the reign of Ahmed Shah. Lying in the old party of city, the mosque is situated opposite to Mahatma Gandhi Road, on the eastern side of Teen Darwaza.
The Jama Masjid of Ahmedabad was probably the largest mosque in the Indian subcontinent built in this period. Designed as part of a major plan desired by the Emperor Sultan Ahmed Shah, the mosque is located south of the processional axis that runs from the Maidan-i Shah at the door with three arches, Teen Darwaza.
To the west of the mosque are the tombs of Ahmed Shah , his son and his grand-son, ( Ahmad Shah Rauza ). Nearby are the graves of the queen and the other wives of the Sultan ( Rani ka Hazira ).
Built with yellow sandstone, the mosque complex is centered on a large rectangular courtyard 75 m long and 66 m wide. One enters the court by three entrances, one at the center of each side. The courtyard is lined with a colonnade on three sides, the prayer hall occupies the fourth side (East). In the center of the courtyard is a rectangular basin for ablutions.
Pillars in Periphery of Jama Masjid.
The prayer room is also rectangular and covered with four domes. In its Indo-Saracenic architecture, the mosque also contains many syncretic elements not necessarily obvious to the viewer: some of the central domes are carved like lotus flowers, closely related to the typical domes of Jain temples; and some of the pillars are carved with the form of a bell hanging on a chain, in reference to the bells that often hang in Hindu temples. The wide open courtyard, floored with white marble, is ringed by a columned arcade painted with giant Arabic calligraphy, and has a tank for ritual ablutions in the center. The mosque and arcades are built of beautiful yellow sandstone and carved with the intricate detail that mosques of this period are known for. While the two principal minarets flanking the main arched entranceway collapsed in the 1819 earthquake, their lower portions still stand. The main prayer hall has over 260 columns supporting the roof, with its 15 domes, making a walk through the hall a beautiful maze of light and shadows. The Wall of Prayer, the qibla is decorated. Pierced stone screens (the ' Jalis ') are placed between the two pillars of the central openings. The main entrance is framed by two columns, the remains of two minarets (called 'shaking minarets') which were destroyed by the earthquakes of 1819 and 1957.
The inscription on the mihrab commemorates the inauguration of the mosque on January 4th 1424 by Sultan Ahmad Shah I. The mosque was originally intended only for private use of the sultans.
Slapped this guy together from a WIP that got neglected (see elsewhere on my stream). Ended up very simian-like with the Teknomeka hands cannibalized from another WIP. The pilot/passenger cockpit thingy is probably the weirdest part...talk about quick and dirty.

Wonder what else will get the boot. I get it though...too many weapons. Shame shame shame on me.]
Yeah, I broke my foot the other day. Not much point to the picture apart from the fact that it looks well swollen compared to the other one... and it's got a big bruise!
Yesterday evening, 31 March 2019, four friends and I arrived back in Calgary after an amazing 13-day birding trip to southern Texas! This morning, I grabbed four photos to give an idea of what kinds of things we saw - four of my better photos, I should add : ) As usual, for me, it was not a trip to photograph just birds, but to capture anything else of interest, of beauty. This included flowers, insects, a few fungi, wild animals, and so on. As always, I missed quite a few of the birds that were seen by my friends. They are excellent birders and spend so much time birding and taking photos, and so are able to spot and capture the tiniest, fastest of birds. I am happy to have seen every bird that I did see! Everything from Whooping Cranes down to a small Yellow-throated Warbler. Unlike on our trip to Ontario and Quebec last year, we were thrilled to see Northern Cardinals close enough to photograph this holiday.
Right now, I can't remember names of places, and I have a huge amount of getting organized with where and when I saw most things. However, I just wanted to let you know I am home, feeling back to being motivated to take photos again, after totally losing interest the last few weeks before we left on this exciting trip.
I used both my old Canon SX60 and my less old Nikon P900 on this trip. The advantage of the P900 is that it has GPS and automatically loads on the map on Flickr. It may not always give an accurate location, but hopefully it will be close enough. Part way through the holiday, it looked like the Canon was taking somewhat better photos than the newer Nikon, so I was using the Canon as my main camera.
First things first, though - I need a mug of coffee and some breakfast before I download the rest of my images to my computer. Such a mixed bag - some reasonable shots and others just about as bad as they could possibly be, but will post them on Flickr for the record. Once again, I will post photos in very roughly the order in which they were taken, to help give me a much better idea of just where we went and what we saw and when.

Breaking, b-boying . . . whatever you call it, it's the street dance improvisation that rocked a generation. You'll feel like you mixed the ultimate of beats with these boomboxes on black cotton woven. Lime green snap studs, hot pink snap sockets, and speaker-gray cotton velour show off just the perfect amount of street skills.
This is a fitted diaper and requires a cover.
This diaper's fabric, snaps, serging, and velour were chosen by a customer as part of a custom diaper order. Numbers are limited.
