Leadenhall Market
It is one of the oldest markets in London, dating from the 14th century, and is located in the historic centre of the City of London financial district.
The market dates from the 14th century. It is typically open weekdays from 10 am until 6 pm, and primarily sells fresh food; among the vendors there are cheesemongers, butchers and florists.
Originally a meat, game and poultry market, it stands on what was the centre of Roman London .
The ornate roof structure, painted green, maroon and cream, and cobbled floors of the current structure, designed in 1881 by Sir Horace Jones who was the architect of Billingsgate and Smithfield markets.
The main entrance to the market is on Gracechurch Street. The double height entrance is flanked by tall, narrow gabled red brick and Portland stone blocks in a C17 Dutch style. The adjacent buildings to the south have a continuous retail frontage which is punctuated by narrow entrances to pedestrian ways into the market.

Just got back on Flickr. Bad Panda all morning. Hello everyone, if you want the status of Flickr and its problems go to the following website -- status.flickr.net/
Closeup of a black and white ruffed lemur. At Palmarium Reserve, we saw several families of this animal, some with youngsters. Most of the time, they were high in the trees, but sometimes they came down lower to check out the visitors.
The black-and-white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata) is a Critically Endangered species of ruffed lemur, the more endangered one of two which are endemic to the island of Madagascar. Despite having a larger range than the red ruffed lemur, it has a much smaller population that is spread out, living in lower population densities and reproductively isolated. It also has less coverage and protection in large national parks than the red ruffed lemur. Three subspecies of black-and-white ruffed lemur have been recognized since the red ruffed lemur was elevated to species status in 2001.
Together with the red ruffed lemur, they are the largest extant members of the family Lemuridae, ranging in length from 100 to 120 cm (3.3 to 3.9 ft) and weighing between 3.1 and 4.1 kg (6.8 and 9.0 lb). They are arboreal, spending most of their time in the high canopy of the seasonal rainforests on the eastern side of the island. They are also diurnal, active exclusively in daylight hours.
Quadrupedal locomotion is preferred in the trees and on the ground, and suspensory behavior is seen during feeding. As the most frugivorous of lemurs, the diet consists mainly of fruit, although nectar and flowers are also favored, followed by leaves and some seeds.
The black-and-white ruffed lemur has a complex social structure and is known for its loud, raucous calls. It is unusual in that it exhibits several reproductive traits typically found in small, nocturnal lemurs, such as a short gestation period, large litters and rapid maturation. Wikipedia

It had been raining on and off all morning but there’s always something to shoot. Taking shelter under the bridge I thought I’d snap the under structure of the SHB… it’s amazing this was constructed without any safety gear or ropes!

Boasting 35 hectares of greenery and 3,000 m² of ecological gardens promoting biodiversity, the Parc de la Villette is one of the largest and loveliest green spaces in Paris. A multi-disciplinary arts and culture venue, it attracts more than 10 million visitors each year.
With 26 bright red ‘follies’ – architectural structures designed by Bernard Tschumi – dotting the landscape (each devoted to a different cultural or leisure activity), the Parc de la Villette is one vast playground for Paris lovers.

The Nydegg bridge is a freestone structure with three arches over the Aaree river. The bridge was built with a core of Merlinger and Jura limestone.
It was built in parallel to the Untertorbrücke in 1840, which until then had been the only bridge crossing the Aaree. The Nydeggbrücke is in total 190 meters long and took three years to build. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance

Tbilisi is the capital and largest city of Georgia, situated in the eastern part of the country on the banks of the Kura River. With a rich history spanning over 1,500 years, Tbilisi has been shaped by numerous cultures and civilizations over the centuries. The old part of Tbilisi, known for its charming architecture and unique atmosphere, is one of the most captivating areas of the city. In contrast, the Peace Bridge is a strikingly modern architectural marvel and one of Tbilisi’s most recognizable landmarks. Completed in 2010, the bridge was designed by Italian architect Michele de Lucchi, with lighting by French designer Philippe Martinaud. It spans the Kura River, connecting the old town with the newer districts, and serves as an important pedestrian route and a symbol of the city. The bridge’s design is particularly remarkable, featuring a glass canopy that curves gracefully over the walkway. Often compared to a giant glass wave or a sea creature, the canopy is made of steel and glass and is illuminated at night by thousands of LED lights. These lights create a breathtaking visual display and are programmed to transmit messages in Morse code, conveying universal symbols of life and peace. The Bridge of Peace is not only a functional structure but also a symbolic monument. It embodies the connection between the old and modern parts of Tbilisi and serves as a metaphor for the city’s progress toward peace and unity. The bridge is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, offering stunning views of the city, including the nearby Narikala Fortress, the Presidential Palace and air balloon.
The Peace Bridge in Tbilisi, Georgia, is located in the heart of the city, spanning the Kura River. Its futuristic design stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding historic architecture, making it a powerful symbol of Tbilisi’s dynamic blend of tradition and modernity. The air balloon in Tbilisi offers a unique way to view the city from above, providing passengers with panoramic views of the capital's historic and modern districts. Located near Rike Park, the balloon ascends to a height of around 150 meters, offering an unforgettable experience and stunning perspectives of iconic landmarks like the Narikala Fortress and the Peace Bridge. It’s a popular attraction for both tourists and locals looking to experience the beauty of Tbilisi from the sky.
Tbilisi is de hoofdstad en grootste stad van Georgië, gelegen in het oosten van het land aan de oevers van de rivier de Koera. De stad heeft een rijke geschiedenis die meer dan 1.500 jaar teruggaat en heeft door de eeuwen heen vele invloeden ondergaan van diverse culturen en beschavingen. Het oude gedeelte van Tbilisi, bekend om zijn charmante architectuur en unieke sfeer, is een van de meest fascinerende delen van de stad. De Vredesbrug is daar in tegen erg modern. Een modern architectonisch wonder en een van de meest herkenbare bezienswaardigheden van de stad. De brug, voltooid in 2010, is ontworpen door de Italiaanse architect Michele de Lucchi, met de verlichting ontworpen door de Franse lichtontwerper Philippe Martinaud. De brug overspant de rivier de Kura en verbindt de oude stad met de nieuwere wijken. Het is een voetgangersbrug en dient als een belangrijk symbool voor de stad. Het ontwerp van de brug is bijzonder opvallend, met een glazen overkapping die sierlijk over het wandelpad buigt. Deze overkapping, die vaak wordt vergeleken met een gigantische glazen golf of een zeewezen, is gemaakt van staal en glas en wordt 's nachts verlicht door duizenden LED-lichten. Deze verlichting creëert een adembenemend visueel spektakel en is zo geprogrammeerd dat het boodschappen in morsecode uitzendt, waarbij universele symbolen van leven en vrede worden weergegeven. De Vredesbrug is niet alleen een functioneel bouwwerk, maar ook een symbolisch monument. Het staat voor de verbinding tussen het oude en het moderne deel van Tbilisi en is een metafoor voor de vooruitgang van de stad naar vrede en eenheid. De brug is een populaire plek voor zowel de lokale bevolking als toeristen en biedt prachtige uitzichten over de stad, waaronder het nabijgelegen Narikala-fort, het presidentiële paleis en de luchtballon. Deze ballon biedt een unieke manier om de stad vanuit de lucht te bewonderen, waarbij passagiers een panoramisch uitzicht krijgen over de historische en moderne wijken van de hoofdstad. De ballon op tot een hoogte van ongeveer 150 meter, wat een onvergetelijke ervaring en een prachtig perspectief op iconische bezienswaardigheden. Het is een populaire attractie voor zowel toeristen als locals die de schoonheid van Tbilisi vanuit de lucht willen ervaren.
A different angle of The Wave structure in Arizona. What a place to see! But don't forget to get a permit to go there.
You’re looking at a 1938 Cadillac 75 2-Door Convertible which just about didn’t make it off the drawing boards, as far as this composite goes. Both, the picture of the large barn-like structure in the background and the picture of this ’38 Caddy were recorded at the Grand Experience classic auto show at the Gilmore Museum in 2014 ……….but at different times, different locations and under slightly different lighting condition. The “time and place” posed no particular problem but the lighting conditions were the challenge which, quite frankly, I believe I have not fully overcome. Shadow, shadow……everywhere a shadow,
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you do the shadow?
I told myself I would never attempt to place a car into a mixed lighting area (part sunlight, part in shadow) but as you see I did and although I attempted using about fifty different mixed shadow effects (as reflected on a portion of the car’s body by the tree on the far right), nothing looked right or believable. At somewhere around fifty, I threw up my hands and said - well, you don’t really want to hear what I said so let’s just say, I was at my wits end. I am sure if one looks at this scene critically, one will spot the inconsistencies, so don’t look at this scene critically. Just squint your eyes and imagine that everything in the picture is hunky-dory.
I believe the following, which was obtained from the conceptcarz web site pertains to ‘this particular car’ but without having the chassis number, I can’t be positive. Here is what conceptcarz/Daniel Vaughn writes I believe about, this car.
Coachwork: Fleetwood
Chassis Num: 3271250
High bid of $65,000 at 2008 RM Sothebys. (did not sell)
For 1938, Cadillac moved the headlamps into the front fenders for the up-market Series 65 and Fleetwood Series 75 models. The bodies became more curvaceous than that of the prior models, particularly from the rear. Optional dual sidemounts covers were hinged to the fenders. Quarter windows were sliding rather than hinged construction. Technical innovations for 1938 included column shift, a transverse muffler just behind the fuel tank, new wheels, a hypoid rear axle, horns hidden behind the grille, and a Synchro-Flex flywheel.
The Series 75 was given an increase in compression which lifted horsepower to 140. * Sporty looking but certainly not a speed demon.
This particular example wears an older restoration and painted in a soft yellow color. There are wide whitewall tires, a tan cloth top and refinished chrome accents. The interior upholstery is dark brown leather, and the dashboard is dark chocolate brown.
In 2008 this 1938 Cadillac Series 75 Convertible Coupe was brought to RM Auctions 'Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook' where it was estimated to sell for $75,000-$100,000. A high bid of $65,000 failed to satisfy the reserve and the car was left unsold.

PS: I know who the current owner is and where he lives but I would rather not say under this format. Actually, it’s immaterial since I know that I don’t! (own it, that is ;)
