A nice big descending right hand turn onto base leg before turning onto final approach for runway 21 at Arrecife.
A young man in t-shirt, utility pants, cap, and and sneakers is seen from behind, looking at something in his hands (smartphone?) as he turns a corner next to a brightly painted building; buildings, cars, and other people are seen on and across the street
Raccoons search for fish and crabs hiding under the rocks and in the eel grass during low tide on Blake Island.
About half of the leaves on this tree have lost their green, thus turning red and yellow. It is a stage I love.

Architect Arnas Funkas. The Polovinskas is a family that during different stages of its life demonstrated efficacy, entrepreneurial skills, new ideas turning into sources of income; Romanas who managed to become the family’s millionaire was the one who embodied this family’s entrepreneurial skills. The business empire of young Polovinskas started in 1923, when together with Pranas Urbonas, they started a construction company Mūras. At the course of time, both the construction company and Romanas himself occupied an important place in the Lithuanian business world. After making a fortune, the businessman decided to build a large house at the city centre: the building of expressive and plastic architecture was designed by a modernist famous for its unique style, Arnas Funkas. The luxurious building had a two-part garage in a private courtyard and a lift. The premises on the ground flood were exceptional because of their large showcase windows and were dedicated to commerce: it was planned to use the premises for a hairdressing salon and two stores. One of them was rented for a long time to a student company Studentai. There was also
an editorial office of a weekly paper Sekmadienis. The media of that time soon started referring to the house as “the Palace of Contractor Palavinskas”. The house also served as the office of Mūras company itself. After the Soviet occupation, the owner and his wife moved to West, he died in 1966 in the USA.
The Schell Bridge was built for horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, though, not for cars. The roads approaching it on either side meander, first taking travelers away from the bridge, and then turning back, approaching it from along the banks and offering a good long look at the span travelers are about to cross.
There are only five other bridges in the country that have similar engineering, but the Northfield bridge is unique in its strong gothic revival aesthetic. Flower shapes like those carved into pews are cut into the steel plating, and the arches over each entrance are detailed similarly to the structure of a stained glass window. Just inside, portal braces arch overhead and meet in a point, much as they would above a cathedral's doors and windows. In fact, standing on the bridge and looking through its steel work at the sky, hills and river, it becomes clear that the intention was to make travelers feel as if they were, indeed, in a sort of cathedral as they crossed the bridge. Instead of murals, stained glass and statuary filling the space between the load bearing shafts and the ribs of the vaulted ceiling, there are the banks of the Connecticut River.
