The lunar eclipse of July 27-28th 2018. Whilst it took some time for the moon to mature above the waters of Kustavi in the Finnish archipelago, it was well worth staying up so late to witness this phenomenon. Here the first rays of sun are reaching the moon again.

Church of São Francisco
The church that hosts the Capela dos Ossos also needs to be seen, not least as it was a place of worship for royalty.
This is made clear at the portal, which is was sculpted in the Manueline style in the first decades of the 1500s.
Amid the decoration is an armillary sphere, which was the emblem of King Manuel I, and a pelican, signifying King John II. The nave has monumental dimensions (it is the largest church interior of this kind in Portugal), and you should raise your eyes to the groin vaults in the ceiling.

Bakerloo Line Train at Maida Vale Underground Station, London, England
Still going through the archives at the moment and thought also this would be a colour upload rather than a B&W upload. I am also planning to get out soon with my camera as I want to shoot some new stuff.
Anyway this is an image of a Bakerloo Underground train. When I got on this train I noticed that it was really empty and so got my camera out and took a few images. It is really rare to see a tube train like this so I was really lucky. It was quite hard trying to take photos like this when the train is wobbling around everywhere so I had to wait when it got into stops to get sharp images.

Information
The London Underground 1972 Stock is a fleet of trains used on the London Underground. The 1972 Stock was ordered to make up the shortfall in trains on the Northern line's 1959 Tube Stock fleet. It is, however, currently used on the Bakerloo line.
Since July 2011 it is the oldest deep-level Tube stock in service on London Underground.
A total of 252 cars were ordered from Metro-Cammell and later refurbished by Tickford and Rosyth Dockyard.
In the early 1970s the 1938 Tube stock on the Bakerloo and Northern lines was life-expired and due for replacement. Tentative designs for a new Northern Line fleet were abandoned when the go-ahead was given for the Piccadilly Line to be extended to Heathrow Airport. That required a totally new fleet of trains to replace the 1959 stock then in use. The plan was made to transfer the 1959 trains to the Northern, to allow the worst of the 1938 stock there to be scrapped, but there were only 76 1959 Tube stock trains, and the Northern Line needed more than that to operate. Originally it was planned to refurbish some 30 1938 trains, but this was scrapped in favour of 30 new trains - 1972 Mk1 Tube stock.
The 1972 Tube stock was ordered in a hurry, so there was no time to create a new design; the trains were based on the 1967 Tube stock on the Victoria Line. Although almost identical looking, the 1972 trains had a guard and door controls in the rear car, and was not compatible with 1967 Tube stock (though in recent years some 1972 cars have been adapted to run with the 1967 trains on the Victoria Line).
A further 33 trains of 1972 Tube stock were ordered to provide service on the Jubilee Line. The 1972 Mk2 stock had slightly different interiors, such as dark blue seating moquette (unlike the red and grey on the earlier 1972/1967 trains). Externally the biggest difference was that the doors were painted red, with a LT roundel on the side of the carriages, rather than the Johnston lettering. The train number plates on the The 1972 Mk2 trains operated on the Northern and Bakerloo Lines prior to the opening of the Jubilee Line in 1979.
With the introduction of the 1983 Tube stock on the Jubilee in 1984, the 1972 Mark 2 trains were transferred to the Northern line, then subsequently to the Bakerloo line, where they remain in service. The earlier (Mark 1) 1972 stock on the Northern line was replaced by 1995 Tube Stock in 1999. The 1972 Mark 2 stock was extensively refurbished in the 1990s. After being withdrawn from the Northern line, a few cars of 1972 Mark 1 stock were converted to run with 1967 stock in service on the Victoria line. A further two trains were converted to be compatible with the MkII type, and these now run on the Bakerloo Line.
The 1972 trains are formed of seven-car sets, and have a total of 268 passenger seats.

A shot I took back in 09' when I was up in New York with a good friend of mine Julian. Not sure why it's taken me so long to post this one to be honest, need to start going through my archives more.
Anyhow here's my take on a bridge that has been photographed countless times.
Enjoy!

En el silencio mental, la atención y el placer de la contemplación, el gozo inmenso del bien comprendido. Ser, estar y existir con toda la fuerza de la verdad desvelada. Y la mirada se torna sonrisa ante el amor ingenuo y puro de la fascinación.

From the website; historicdetroit.org/buildings/belle-isle-casino
"One of the first structures built on Belle Isle after it became a park was the first Belle Isle Casino, opening in June 1887. There was no gambling in this type of casino, which relies more on the traditional definition of the word, meaning a building used for meetings, entertainment, dancing and the like. The city’s first stab at a casino was designed by the firm Donaldson & Meier, and offered Detroiters a place to rest, grab a bite to eat or seek shelter from nasty weather. However, it was made entirely of wood, and after only two decades, was already showing its age. With the city’s fortunes and population both swelling, a decision was made to build a new, larger casino nearby"
This image was really fun! It was a really hot day in July when my lovely wife and I drove around Belle Isle during our exploration of Windsor, Ontario. It was a lovely trip and a fabulous place for photography. Have a great day, Rick.

Bar, Restaurant and Hotel
Hotel Website
"In the early 1780s James Wingate, a Stirling business man, commissioned the famous Scottish architect Gideon Gray to build a hotel on the site of The Gibb’s Inn Tavern and Lodgings, located in Quality Street Stirling.
The Gibb’s Inn was according to antiquity, “The principal hotel in Stirling catering for coaches going north to Perth – ‘The Difiance’ 4 horse coach leaving at 8.50am – and south to Glasgow – ‘The Rapide’ leaving for Glasgow at 8.30am, both from the pend behind the Inn.”
The Hotel known as Wingate’s Inn opened to much “fanfare and anticipation” in 1786 to “provide a valuable service to visitors and travellers to and from Stirling alike.”
On the 26th August 1787 Robert Burns then aged 28 and his travelling companion Willie Nicol, who was a Master at Edinburgh High School, Latin scholar and student of literature visited Stirling Castle. They stayed at The Golden Lion and in the evening they were joined for dinner in the Hotel by local businessman Mr. Christopher Bell. At the time the Castle was in a very rundown condition and this inspired him to write the famous “Stirling Lines” and etched the following verse on a pane of glass in his second floor bedroom.
“Here Stuarts once in glory reign’d, And laws for Scotland’s weal ordain’d ; But now unroof ‘d their palace stands, Their sceptre’s sway’d by other hands. The injur’d Stuart line is gone, A race outlandish fills their throne An idiot race, to honour lost : Who know them best despise them most.”
Realising his lament for the deposed Stuart line and shock at the dilapidated state of The Castle had caused offence, Burns returned to the hotel in October of that year and smashed the pane of glass with the butt of his riding crop.
James Macdonald the Hebridean diarist recorded in his journal of the 2nd June 1796 that he had enjoyed dinner with Burns the evening previous in Sanquhar Dumfrieshire where, Burns discussed at length his stay at the Golden Lion Hotel. This was only two months before Burns died at the age of 37.
Macdonald who was a 24 year old licensed Kirk Minister wrote,
“He looks consumptive, but was in excellent spirits, and displayed as much wit and humour in 3 hours time as any man I ever knew. He told me that being once in Stirling when we he was a young lad, heated with drink, he had nigh got himself into a dreadful scrape by writing the (Stirling) lines on the pane of a glass window at the inn.”
These lines were to almost cut short his career as an Excise man before it had even started for he records in a letter that a “great person” had visited him and interrogated him “like a child about my matters, and blamed and schooled for my inscription on a Stirling window.”
In 1820 the name Quality Street was changed to its present name of King Street in honour of King George IV, who ascended to the throne in that year.
In King Street the position of the “New” Port Gate is marked in the road immediately outside the Hotel. The original Port or Burgh Gate played a crucial role in Stirling’s history, because it was here in or around the year 900 that a wolf’s growl alerted guards to the approach of Danish Viking raiders. The raiders were seen off, the town survived, and to this day there’s a wolf on Stirling’s heraldic Coat of Arms.
For nearly two centuries, the Golden Lion Statue has looked down on the “New” Port Gate and King Street, acting as a symbol of protection, strength and confidence. It has presided over many changes in the city of Stirling, the ups and downs, the comings and goings."

Having read a lot about Robbery and theft in the vicinity of San Francisco, I decided to travel ultra light this time, just one camera and one lens and a secret weapon, sshhh. I will talk about the secret weapon later. Even though we were three grownups, we still felt we might fall short in front of a loaded/toy gun. Come on, everyone respects the gun, be it loaded or a toy!
Now about the secret weapon, I added a RZ67 to my gear, thanks to eBay. Actually we were supposed to shoot only film but the digital side of us, kept on overpowering the Medium Format. We actually carried the DSLRs to use them as light meter as we didn't have any light meter. Instead we ended up shooting with the DSLRs. Just when it was about the time for the blue hour to end, I took out my RZ67 and took a few snaps. I know the first two shot will come out good but I am even more sure that the next 3 are completely blown out. I was supposed to increase the shutter speed by two stops and ended up decreasing it by two stops. Welcome to the world of Medium Format, totally my fault. Yes, it requires a lot of practice, patience and thought towards composition. Hopefully, I will be able to learn it before this technology becomes extinct.

From the town's (Puebla de Sanabria in Spain) website is this description translated:
Historic Artistic Set
The whole of the town constitutes an authentic fortified bastion through which countless battles have passed. Its border condition has made it a Villa that is currently declared a HISTORICAL-ARTISTIC SET.
As soon as we cross the river and enter what is now the center of the town, we can see a steep street, in the vicinity of which are the most austere facades.
The houses of this locality still keep the memory of old moments of splendor. These buildings show a great ornamental richness. The blazons appear on their facades, large, heavily contoured modillions support the eaves and some of the most beautiful balconies in the region. The corridors are wide and the galleries are almost always glazed. In addition, the works of rejería come to beautify even more these already of by themselves attractive constructions.
There is still a good part of the Walls that protected all this HISTORICAL-ARTISTIC SET, from which unparalleled views of our Region are contemplated.

Mitch Mitchell, drummer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience who had just finished a tour with a Hendrix tribute show, was found dead Wednesday morning in a hotel room in Portland, Ore. He was 61.
He apparently died of natural causes, the Multnomah County medical examiner told the Portland Oregonian. Mitchell was found dead at 3 a.m. in the Benson Hotel.
Mitchell, whose birth name was John, had been performing with the Experience Hendrix Tour, which made its 18th and final stop Friday at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. Mitchell had been taking a vacation in Portland before returning home to England.
The tour had stopped in Los Angeles on Nov. 2 and Mitchell appeared on a handful of songs as did Billy Cox, the bassist in the final edition of the Experience and Band of Gypsys.
One of the best rock drummers of the 1960s, Mitchell was able to combine power, finesse and technique in following the lead of Hendrix, considered rock’s finest guitarist at the time of his death in 1970 as well as today. The trio’s debut album contains three prime examples of Mitchell’s inventive style: "Fire," "Third Stone from the Sun" and "Manic Depression."
Hendrix and Mitchell had reunited in 1970 after the Band of Gypsys broke up and the two were plotting their next move at the time Hendrix died. After that, Mitchell rarely recorded and only over the last decade was he active in promulgating the Hendrix legacy. At one point, Mitchell sold his rights to the Experience for about $200,000.
Prior to meeting Hendrix, Mitchell had been a child actor before taking up the drums in his native England. In 1964 and ’65, he played with the Riot Squad, Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames and the Pretty Things, leaving them after about a dozen gigs to join Hendrix’s band.
His first post-Hendrix band was a jazz-rock supergroup with Jack Bruce and Larry Coryell that never recorded.
In 1972 he formed Ramatam with Mike Pinera and lead guitarist April Lawton but then limited his recording to very few sessions, most notably ones with Muddy Waters and Robert Wyatt.
And then there was the Dirty Macs …
... John Lennon on vocals and guitar, Eric Clapton on lead guitar, Keith Richards on bass, and Mitch Mitchell on drums.
