You've seen this view before, but without the snow. Going from right to left, the old Scripture Building is being remodeled into Randy Boyd's law office; it is now Dix Conney Island, a great 24/7 eatery. Shrader's is gone after half a century. The appliance store is now a clothing store, but the jewlry shop is still there, as is the Fine Arts Theater. Ward's is now divided into the University of North Texas Art Gallery and Cartright's steak house. The other buildings on the block were destroyed by fire in 1996. You can find photos of the wreckage on this web site. The old MuClurkan's Building is visible in the distance, across West Hickory. It was the first steel framed building in Denton, Texas, and it dates from 1922. The camera is looking south-southwest, and the intersection of North Elm and West Oak is visible in the fore ground. UPDATE: The University of North Texas store has moved down the hill, and the site is now occupied by a commercial firm (April 2022).

L'Albereda és un passeig i avinguda de la ciutat de València que tradicionalment s'estén des dels Jardins del Real fins a la plaça de Saragossa, vorejant la riba nord del Jardí del Túria, antic llit del riu Túria al seu pas per la ciutat de València. Tot i això, el creixement de la ciutat cap a l'est ha suposat succesives ampliacions d'aquesta avinguda fins a l'actual carrer d'Eivissa, amb mires de ser ampliada en un futur fins al port de València quan es soterren les vies del ferrocarril del carrer d'Eivissa.S'inicia per tant al districte del Pla del Real, concretament al barri de L'Exposició i a continuació el de Mestalla, per a després entrar al barri de Penya-roja del districte de Camins al Grau.S'encreua amb importants vies de l'est de la ciutat com ara l'avinguda d'Aragó, l'avinguda del Port, el carrer d'Eduard Boscà, l'avinguda de les Balears, el carrer del Pare Tomàs de Montañana, l'avinguda de França i el carrer de Menorca.
ESP:
La Alameda (en valenciano Albereda) es un paseo y avenida de la ciudad de Valencia que tradicionalmente se extiende desde los Jardines del Real hasta la Plaza de Zaragoza, bordeando la orilla norte del Jardín del Turia. Aún así, las sucesivas ampliaciones de esta avenida hasta el puerto, ahora sin el aixopluc de los árboles, todavía reciben el nombre de paseo de la Alameda.La Alameda era el antiguo acceso al Palacio Real de Valencia desde la mar. Abierto el 1677, en aquella época también se le denominó el Prado de Valencia por su amplitud y en referencia al antiguo rahal o finca que abarcaba esta zona (ved Plan del Real). Durante los siglos XVIII y XIX aconteció el lugar más frecuentado por nobles y burgueses valencianos que con las suyos carrozas y berlines se paseaban a través de sus dos calles (también denominados salones). El 1932 el Ayuntamiento de Valencia republicano contrata Javier Goerlich para llevar a cabo su reforma. Hoy en día forma un paseo de poco más de un kilómetro entre el puente del Real y el puente de Aragón.

Latin Name: Erithacus rubecula - European Robin
The European robin, known simply as the robin or robin redbreast in the British Isles, is a small insectivorous passerine bird, specifically a chat, that was formerly classified as a member of the thrush family but is now considered to be an Old World flycatcher.
The UK's favourite bird - with its bright red breast it is familiar throughout the year and especially at Christmas! Males and females look identical, and young birds have no red breast and are spotted with golden brown. Robins sing nearly all year round and despite their cute appearance, they are aggressively territorial and are quick to drive away intruders. They will sing at night next to street lights.
They eat worms, seeds, fruits, insects and other invertebrates.
Their measurements are:
Length: 14cm
Wingspan: 20-22cm
Weight: 14-21g
Taken in our back riverside garden while sat enjoying a cuppa after doing some gardening. We have two pairs which are constantly in and around our garden and we noticed today that one pair has a fledgling which was being fed in our front garden. (Sorry, not got any photos ... yet!)
Taken with my Canon EOS 7D Mark II and Canon Telephoto Zoom 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM EF Lens and framed in Photoshop.

we've travelled to romania to explore life and culture of real romani people in the modern age. often vilified as "gypsys" these people are known for being nomads without any permanent residence.
in ocna sibiului someone told us, that the little village rusciori ("reußdörfchen" in german) might be a good place to get in contact, since it's predominantly populated by them. not knowing what to expect, we arrived sceptical, since almost everyone we talked to was warning us not to approach any "gypsis". after leaving the car though, we were surrounded by a crowd of friendly strangers in a heartbeat and the children of the village were psyched to be in front of the camera requesting their own personal shoot. i certainly needed no second invitation and gladly took the chance to capture the mood.
Native blue-banded bee on a Cordyline flower. Many Cordylines come from Hawaii but there are also species native to South America, New Zealand, parts of Asia, New Guinea, the islands of the Pacific, Mauritius and eight species native to Australia. Cordylines come in many colours or combination of colours including many shades of greens, reds, pinks, purples, yellows, oranges, cream and white. The Australian species are mostly green but occasionally variegated forms are found, these are highly prized by collectors. Cordylines have a large range of leaf shapes and sizes with some varieties, with foliage up to a meter long with proportionate width. Some have compact leaves of only a few centimeters in length while others have narrow strap like foliage. (Source: International Cordyline Society)

THIS TINY PARK IN TAMPA, Florida is about as close as you can get to Cuba without leaving the U.S. When you cross through the archway to enter Parque Amigos de Jose Marti (Friends of Jose Marti Park), you’re crossing into Cuban property.
This small bit of American land was donated to the Estado Cubano (Republic of Cuba) in 1956, three years before the communist revolution. The Batista administration officially accepted the property, and the American consul in Havana certified the transaction.
Predictably, the communist revolution and the rise of Fidel Castro complicated the situation. Nevertheless, despite high political tensions, the land remains property of the Republic Cuba. The land title to the park is owned by the Cuban government, and the park contains soil from each of Cuba’s provinces. You’ll also find memorial statutes to two heroes of the Cuban independence: the park’s namesake, Jose Julian Marti Perez, and Jose Antonio de la Caridad Maceo y Grajales.
Early on, the City of Tampa decided to maintain the park but leave management of the park in the hands of the Tampa Cuban-American community. In the early 1960s the area was a hub for clashes between pro-Castro and anti-Castro Cubans. In 1990, former Mayor Sandy Freedman entrusted the park management to an anti-Castro activist group called the Cuban Historical and Cultural Center which still maintains the grounds.
The park was donated to the communist island by Paulina Pedroso, a prominent female leader of the Cuban revolution and close companion of Marti. It’s located at the site of Pedroso’s boarding house, where Marti stayed during his various visits to Tampa and where Pedroso helped Marti recover from an assassination attempt in 1892.
The park is only open Monday to Friday from 8:00am-1:30pm, but due to the small size of the park, all of the park can be seen from behind the gates.

There is always a bit of a gamble to visit the Vatican museums, because you never know which rooms and departments that will be closed for the day - but if you're lucky you can at least look into the room. This is what happened with the Chariot room, also known as 'Sala della biga' (named after the Roman chariot sculpture on display here - the sculpture originally dates to the first century A.D., but it was heavily restored in 1788). This room was built in the late 18th century in a neo-classical style and also contains one of the Roman marble copies (after a Greek bronze original) of the Discobolus by Myron, found at Hadrian's villa at Tivoli. It would of course have been nice to see these pieces a bit more up close, but on the other hand this meant that you got a better understanding of the whole room and that was quite special too!

Well, it's red at least and quite warm. Hope you're all warm where you are. I have to say, it's a challenge keeping warm here with the heating off. It's ridiculous how expensive EVERYTHING is now, and I live in a country producing ALL and more of it's energy in renewables (Scotland). It's at times like this, sitting here without heating, wrapped in many layers that my desire for an independent Scotland grows. Everything done by the UK in the last 12 years has been an unmitigated disaster. Anyway, enjoy the legs, you'll probably not see them until the spring!
We didn't lose power, don't worry, but after me mentioning that we might lose power yesterday, she wanted to know what we would do without it :) So I told her that we would light up some candles and tell each other stories. She loved the idea and wanted me to turn off the lights tonight...She's the one who's telling me all kinds of stories and I just listen. She's got such a great imagination :)

The savusauna (smoke sauna) is a special type of sauna without a chimney. Wood is burned in a particularly large stove and the smoke fills the room.
When the sauna is hot enough, the fire is allowed to die and the smoke is ventilated out. The residual heat of the stove is enough for the duration of the sauna. This represents the ancestral type of sauna, since chimneys are a later addition. Smoke saunas have experienced great revival in recent years since they are considered superior by the connoisseurs.
They are not, however, likely to replace all or even most of the regular saunas because more skill, effort and time (usually most of the day) are needed for the heating process.
Wish you all a Happy Sunday and a great week ahead! :)
