We all know that everything is extra-special at Disney's flagship resort, the Grand Floridian...
But just how special is it?
Well, it's so special that even the smoking porch has a great view.
Yep, this is a dedicated smoking area at the Grand Floridian. It's on the second floor of the main building. Take the stairs at the right hand side of the lobby and you'll find it...complete with a view of the beach and the Polynesian in the background...

Lying halfway between Lisbon and Oporto in the Beiras region of central Portugal, venerable Coimbra nestles on the banks of the River Mondego in dignified glory. Famed for its university - the oldest in the country - and a fantastic collection of handsome churches, serene monasteries, and lively cultural institutions, Coimbra is also a busy commercial hub with its many shops, boutiques, and appetizing choice of cafés and restaurants. The city center is divided into two neighborhoods, the Lower Town and the Upper Town. Its historic heart lies high above the Mondego on Alcaçova hill, known to the Romans as Aeminium. Here, medieval convents, cathedrals, and some fine museums cluster around the old University. Kings were born in Coimbra; they are entombed here, too. Indeed, it was once the proud capital of the Portuguese nation. This royal heritage permeates the city's steep hills, narrow lanes, and verdant parks, all of which are best explored on foot. And exploration further afield is rewarded with the largest and most compelling Roman site in Portugal, and an emerald-hued forest of enchanting allure and breathtaking beauty.
No.9 oldest University in the world although originally established in the Portuguese capital in 1290, the University of Coimbra, was relocated a number of times by demanding kings, finally ending up in Coimbra, the country’s third-largest urban center and home to much Roman-era history. With a student community of almost 25,000, the University of Coimbra has been through many radical reforms, and for decades of the 18th century it was the only operating university in Portugal. In 2013, the University of Coimbra was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in recognition of its historical buildings, open courtyard, cultural traditions and stunning city-wide views.
De Portugese stad Coimbra heeft tijdens de middeleeuwen gefungeerd als hoofdstad. Destijds stond de stad bekend als Aeminium. De plaats ligt ongeveer 120 kilometer ten zuiden van de stad Porto vandaan. In Coimbra zijn veel waardevolle herinneringen bewaard gebleven die ons meer kunnen vertellen over de afgelopen zeven eeuwen. De universiteit heeft hier een groot aandeel in gehad. De Universiteit van Coimbra is één van de oudste universiteiten van Europa en daarmee van de wereld en is de oudste universiteit van Portugal. De vele studenten die de stad telt zorgen dat de plaatselijke horeca niets te kort komt. Er zijn dan ook veel gezellige clubs, bars, terrassen en restaurants te vinden. Qua festivals doet de stad Coimbra het ook erg goed. Massaal trekken bezoekers richting de stad als de ‘Festa das Latas of Queima das Fitas’ de stad lijken over te nemen. De studenten houden de historie volle stad Coimbra goed in leven. De rust vind je vooral in de groene delen van de stad. Parken zoals Penedo da Saudade, Santa Cruz Park, Mata Nacional do Choupal en de botanische tuin van de universiteit worden dan ook veelvuldig bezocht door zowel gasten als de lokale bevolking zelf. De Universidade de Coimbra heeft het zijn eervolle vermelding vooral verdient aan de hoogstaande kwaliteit en diversiteit van kundigheid aan wat er wordt gepresenteerd. De universiteit heeft naast de vijf campussen ook nog een enorme bibliotheek, botanische tuin, theater, musea, bioscoop en heel veel prachtige oude gebouwen die samen de universiteit van Coimbra vormen. Niet voor niets is het onlangs toegevoegd op de lijst van Unesco World Heritage Site.
De Hofboerderij
The Hof van Wateringen was a castle in Wateringen that the lords of Wateringen had built and already existed in 1250. In 1485 the castle was handed over to the Cistercians and was used as a monastery. After the destruction in 1573, a new country estate arose on that spot. This was demolished for the most part in 1812, but a part has been preserved and is the current Hofboerderij (Court farm).

Handheld panorama of the famous Creux du Van above the Lake Neuchâtel in the western part of Switzerland. The 50mm prime lens is a really neat buddy when traveling lightly.
This all EMD Wilmar to Northtown manifest is rolling the last miles into their final destination of Northtown. The CSX Mac on the lead was a major oddity in the Wilmar power pool. Clouds spoiled the fun here, but the lashup makes up for it.
The first fossil-free delivery van in the world? This photo from June 1940 - here shown with my partial colorization - is in the National Museum of Denmark archive.
From a 10 yr old snapshot taken at Grand Canyon. It was just wanting me to give it some new life. Gave it a scan, processed with some brushes and a texture of Anna Lenenbam TEX 164. He seems much happier now.
From Wikipedia:
Van Schaick House is a historic home located on Van Schaick Island at Cohoes in Albany County, New York. It was built about 1735 and is a 1+1⁄2-story, brick dwelling with a gambrel roof. Plans were made at the mansion for the Battle of Saratoga and the house was used by Governor Clinton as the New York State Capitol from August 22 to 25, 1777.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
Morris Minor delivery van in beautiful condition. It was parked outside the Hartwells ironmongers in Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds, a shop well stocked with all the things you can't find locally any more. Sadly, the shop will be closing in November.

we rented out a private van for a day in HK. our driver can be seen in the rear view mirror ;D - by the way, the white balance is weird here because it's a parking garage.
Những ngày giữa tháng 11 , nắng đẹp , hoa đẹp , thôi thì bỏ hoa để lạc vào cái mê cung này :))
Vào đây rất nhiều lần rồi thế mà rẽ ngõ này qua ngõ nọ xong chả thể nhớ nổi mình đi đường nào vào , cứ đi thôi thấy ra đường lớn rồi thì lại quay vào đi ngách khác.

Wie vier eeuwen geleden vanaf dit punt naar de haven van Middelburg keek, stond in het middelpunt van de bedrijvigheid van zowel de VOC als de WIC. Dit omstreden deel van de Nederlandse historie vond voor een deel plaats in de Zeeuwse hoofdstad en onder andere deze binnenhaven was een belangrijke spil in de economische bloei van Middelburg. Hier om de hoek op de Maisbaai werden in een kleine 200 jaar 336 VOC-schepen gebouwd en langs de diverse kades die de stad rijk is, verrees het ene na het andere bedrijfspand en pakhuis.
Vierhonderd jaar later is de handelshistorie nog slechts decor van het zicht op de Middelburgse jachthaven. De oude panden langs de kade met hier en daar een jaartal in de zeventiende eeuw op de voorgevel geschreven, herinneren aan de VOC-geschiedenis in Middelburg. De grote schepen die vanuit hier voor handel in specerijen en tot slaaf gemaakten richting Azië trokken, hebben anno 2022 plaatsgemaakt voor plezierbootjes en jachten.
