I see more state flags flown in Texas than any other state that I've visited. That's pretty cool. This US Flag and Texas Flag are both very large. They're located in front of the Taste of Texas Restaurant next to the Katy Freeway (I-10) in Houston. To gain some perspective, those are the tops of trees at the bottom of the frame. (Excellent restaurant, by the way).
Sambrook's Brewery is based in Battersea, South London, nestled between the River Wandle and Battersea Power Station. Sambrook's use the finest ingredients to create hand crafted ales.
Wandle (4.2%) is named after the Thame tributary flowing through South West London and is the brewery's flagship beer first brewed in 2008.
Brewed using only English malt & hops, this golden amber ale is extremely quaffable and an ideal accompaniment to light dishes such as fish or chicken.
All notes from the bottle.
It is very nice!!!

There was a temporary palace of Toshogu, is the cedar of large tree
But it is solemn and subtle and profound feeling?
An intriguing building on N. Main St. in Butler that used to house an antiques shop. There are two extensions on the back, beyond which is a walled yard and then another building that extends to the next block.
I wonder if they get good reception on their TV antenna.
Finally, note the teeth on the dentist's office next door.
This should cool everyone off just a bit on such a hot summer day(s)! Amtrak No. 8, the Empire Builder, crosses the infamous Two Medicine Bridge at East Glacier, Montana, surrounded by the stark beauty of a winter wonderland on March 3, 1989. It was so cold on this trip that a six-pack of Dr. Pepper froze overnight on the floor behind the front seats of the rental car. We didn’t realize it until one of the cans blew up and sent brown slush everywhere. We got rid of the rest of those “Dr. Pepper grenades” as soon as we could . . . ah, the joys of photographing trains in winter.
A wonderful chance encounter between two different generations of Northern Counties-bodied rear-engined double-deckers on Greenleach Lane in Worsley. On the right is preserved Lancashire United 97 (561 TD), a 1962 Daimler Fleetline, parked up for a photo stop on an enthusiasts’ tour and displaying route 12 for Bolton. Meanwhile, former GM Standard Atlantean, 4549 (ANA 549Y) in the First Manchester fleet, passes by on service on the same route.

"La Baleine is a prototype concept car futuristic convertible coupe roadster limousine 1938, the industrial designer French Paul Arzens (1903-1990). It has been acquired by the Schlumpf collection of the Cité de l'Automobile in Mulhouse in Alsace since the 1990s.
Cité de l'Automobile, Musée national de l’automobile, Collection Schlumpf is an automobile museum located in Mulhouse, France, and built around the Schlumpf Collection of classic automobiles. It has the largest displayed collection of automobiles and contains the largest and most comprehensive collection of Bugatti motor vehicles in the world.
Brothers Hans and Fritz Schlumpf were Swiss citizens born in Italy, but after their mother Jeanne was widowed, she moved the family to her home town of Mulhouse in Alsace, France. The two brothers, who were later described as having a "Schlumpf obsession", were devoted to their mother.
In 1935 the Schlumpf brothers founded a limited company which focused on producing spun woollen products. By 1940, at the time of the German invasion of France, 34-year-old Fritz was the chairman of a spinning mill in Malmerspach. After World War II, the two brothers devoted their time to obsessively growing their business, and became wealthy.
Mulhouse (pronounced [myluz]; Alsatian: Milhüsa or Milhüse, [mɪlˈyːzə]; German: Mülhausen; meaning mill house) is a subprefecture of the Haut-Rhin department in the Grand Est region of Eastern France, close to the Swiss and German borders. With a population of 109,443 in 2017 in the commune and 285,121 inhabitants in 2016 in the urban area, it is the largest city in Haut-Rhin and second largest in Alsace after Strasbourg. Mulhouse is the principal commune of the 39 communes which make up the communauté d'agglomération of Mulhouse Alsace Agglomération (m2A, population 272,712).
Mulhouse is famous for its museums, especially the Cité de l'Automobile (also known as the Musée national de l'automobile, 'National Museum of the Automobile') and the Cité du Train (also known as Musée Français du Chemin de Fer, 'French Museum of the Railway'), respectively the largest automobile and railway museums in the world. An industrial town nicknamed "the French Manchester", Mulhouse is also the main seat of the Upper Alsace University, where the secretariat of the European Physical Society is found.
Alsace (/ælˈsæs/, also US: /ælˈseɪs, ˈælsæs/; French: [alzas]; Low Alemannic German/Alsatian: 's Elsàss [ˈɛlsɑs]; German: Elsass [ˈɛlzas]; Latin: Alsatia) is a cultural and historical region in Eastern France, on the west bank of the upper Rhine next to Germany and Switzerland. In 2017, it had a population of 1,889,589.
Until 1871, Alsace included the area now known as the Territoire de Belfort, which formed its southernmost part. From 1982 to 2016, Alsace was the smallest administrative région in metropolitan France, consisting of the Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin departments. Territorial reform passed by the French Parliament in 2014 resulted in the merger of the Alsace administrative region with Champagne-Ardenne and Lorraine to form Grand Est. Due to protests it was decided in 2019 that Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin would form the future European Collectivity of Alsace in 2021.
Alsatian is an Alemannic dialect closely related to Swabian and Swiss German, although since World War II most Alsatians primarily speak French. Internal and international migration since 1945 has also changed the ethnolinguistic composition of Alsace. For more than 300 years, from the Thirty Years' War to World War II, the political status of Alsace was heavily contested between France and various German states in wars and diplomatic conferences. The economic and cultural capital of Alsace, as well as its largest city, is Strasbourg, which sits right on the contemporary German international border. The city is the seat of several international organisations and bodies." - info from Wikipedia.
During the summer of 2018 I went on my first ever cycling tour. On my own I cycled from Strasbourg, France to Geneva, Switzerland passing through the major cities of Switzerland. In total I cycled 1,185 km over the course of 16 days and took more than 8,000 photos.
