El Fontán es hoy en día una plaza de forma rectangular que está situada en el casco antiguo de Oviedo. Su nombre proviene de la fuente manantial ó fontán que llenaba la primitiva laguna que se encontraba en esa zona. En los inicios de la ciudad de Oviedo se trataba de una laguna natural a las afueras de la ciudad, la cual era abastecida por manantiales natrurales que brotaban en la zona y rápidamente se convirtió en zona de recreo de los nobles ovetenses. Durante este tiempo los campesinos que vivína en las afueras de la ciudad, se acercaban hasta este lugar a vender sus productos (leche, verduras, quesos, gallinas, etc.), con este incesante movimiento no tardaron en aparecer los artesanos tales como herreros, cesteros, etc. y así poco a poco se fue formando un mercado que perdurará hasta nuestros días y convirtiéndose por aquel entonces en el primer núclo comercial a extramuros de Oviedo. Tras esta primera etapa este mercado que se formaba de manera espontánea acabó siendo regulado por el ayuntamiento, el cual controloba la calidad y la entrada de productos a cambio de impuestos. Debido a que la laguna empezaba a representar un problema sanitario por su insalubridad se decidió desecarla. En la primera mitad del siglo XVII se decide la construcción de una obra de carácter público que se convertiría en un corral de comedias; tras sucesivas reformas y ampliaciones, que intentaron adecuar su inflexible estructura de patio de comedias, fue relevado por el teatro Campoamor. El 11 de junio de 1792 el ayuntamiento acomete una de las reformas más importantes hasta aquel entonces, esta reforma, dirigida por el arquitecto municipal asturiano Francisco Pruneda y Cañal, el cual diseña la plaza como un lugar rectangular, abierto por cuatro entradas y con cuarenta casillas o departamentos para tiendas, de planta y piso, recorridas en su perímetro interior y externo por un pórtico de columnas. La obra concluyó sin que se siguiera el proyecto inicial lo que produjo la existencia de varias alturas en la plaza. Los almacenes de las tiendas se fueron convirtiendo en viviendas de inquilinos y varios edificios se modificaron durante el siglo XIX aunque con ello no llega a perder el espíritu con el que fue concebida inicialmente. Ya a finales del siglo XX, en 1981 la dirección General del Patrimonio Artístico realiza una restauración de la plaza, si bien esta restauración no frena el deterioro en el que se ve inmersa la plaza y que culmina en 1996 con la controvertida decisión del derribo y demolición total de la plaza, execepto la esquina en dónde se asienta la sidrería Casa Ramón que había sido restaurada por el propietario. Tras este derribo la plaza se vuelve a construir y el 7 de mayo de 1997 es inaugurada por el alcalde Sr. D. Gabino de Lorenzo Ferrera. Hoy en día los jueves, sábados y domingos sigue habiendo mercado en las calles exteriores al fontán y en la plaza Daoíz y Velarde colindante con el fontán. También existe una plaza de abastos cubierta que abre todos los días de la semana excepto el domingo y en la cual se venden pescado, carne, queso y todo tipo de productos típicos asturianos

The Southernmost Tip of Africa Prayer Centre was never open when I was in the area, so I never worked out exactly who ran it or what it was all about. It is in the little town of L'Agulhas about 1½ km/1 mile from the southernmost point. I photographed it mainly for its thatched roof.
Lower Manhattan from Jersey City’s Exchange Place back in 2018. The original Dutch colony of New Amsterdam only extended as far as present as present Wall Street. The Dutch formed the colony of New Netherland in 1624 by the Dutch West India Company and actually extended at one point to include all of present day Long Island, parts of Connecticut and parts of New Jersey. On the tip of the island of Manhattan was the successful colony and capital of New Amsterdam. 40 years later, a British naval squadron under the command of Colonel Richard Nicolls attacks New Amsterdam. The unpopular Dutch governor of New Amsterdam one Peter Stuyvesant was forced to surrender the capital of New Netherland because his Dutch subjects basically refused to defend the colony as they dislike Stuyvesant’s rule more than being under English rule. The organizer of the English mission, the Duke of York was honored with the renaming of the colony at the tip of Manhattan Island as the now English colony became New York.
I photographed this female Orange Tip butterfly nectaring on Forget-me-nots in my garden yesterday. Females lack the orange tips to their forewings which makes them more difficult to find as they are easily overlooked as Green-veined or Small Whites. Its scientific name is Anthocharis cardamines. The first bit means "rejoicing in flowers" while cardamines is the scientific name of its other main larval foodplant; Cuckoo Flower.
I nearly didn’t spot this butterfly, and in fact there were two on adjoining stems. The sunlight was weak, it was windy and it was fairly well camouflaged with the flowers because to the naked eye, its variegated patterning matched the foliage and flowers. First photo of an Orange Tip of this season although I saw one a few days ago.

Upper East Side, Central Park - Jun 2008 - 085
These pictures were taken on two successive days when I had doctor appointments on the Upper East Side of NYC, and had the chance to walk along Fifth Avenue, and then through Central Park in order to return to my apartment on the Upper West Side, at Broadway & 96th
I had spotted this woman jogging in Central Park a little earlier -- how could you not notice someone in a bright pink top and pink hat? She had been running south, while I was walking north, and she went by too quickly for me to get a picture.
But about ten minutes later, as I was approaching Columbus Avenue and 96th Street, she jogged past me again ... she had to stop at Columbus Avenue, because of the traffic, so she was actually jogging in place when I took this picture...
Note: on Sep 26, 2012, I replaced the original version of this photo with a slightly edited one. All I did was some relatively minor adjusting of "hot spots" and "cold spots" -- but unfortunately, I was unable to remove all the monochromatic blackness in the woman's tights Unfortunately, the original photo was shot as a JPG image, before I learned about the benefits of shooting in RAW and making more subtle adjustments with my Aperture photo-editing program...

Orange Tip Butterfly. Rushey Common.
Having finally given up on days of chasing them up and down the rides, this chap settles beside me and patiently waits for me to rummage the camera out of the rucksack.
Think there might be a moral there somewhere.
