We were in SW Michigan over the past weekend. Driving through the countryside between small towns we came upon this grand old home. I wish we had the time to stop and there was someone on the property. I would have loved to havenseen the rest of this house. This picture was taken out the car window while cruising by 😁
Photography capturing the beautiful curves in ceiling of this tunnel located at Mornington Crescent London Underground station. I also enjoy the golden light shining on the tiles at the top of the staircase.
It is home to several #UNESCO#World#Heritage Sites, including the ancient city of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. Uzbekistan is also known for its traditional #crafts, such as ceramics, #embroidery, and #weaving .
So it took 3 hrs walking to get my electrical and iron garbage to the 'garbage point' (afvalpunt), because people without cars or bikes don't seem to exist.
BUT i could take some phototooototots! (sorry to tired to type and think or first think and then type).
The afvalpunt is very far, at the Toetsenbordweg (Keyboardroad, yes). Fun part of the names in this district: 'weg' means road but also 'gone' So: Keyboard gone. So now we know why they put the afvalpunt there.
It is a large industrial area near the harbors of Amsterdam, with huge buildings of all sorts, i like to wander there, although you always must be aware of all the trucks and vans that don't expect people there.
There is art as well in this area. This work of 2 rocks is by Ton Kalle, it's called 'So What' and yes, it certainly seems to radiate that.
It is situated in the Backupstraat.
Lots of ship industry ofcourse, so that a shipwreck is used to decorate a building: okay. But the name: Heintje Lawaai = Little Hein Noise?
I found, that there is a huge extraction system that produces a lot of noise, so they put it there for fun. Lots of humour in those harbours right?
Well.. if you can read Dutch, read this: it's a bit strange https://odnzkg.nl/samen-met-omwonende-op-bezoek-bij-een-bedrijf/
The Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert in Brussel opened in 1847 drew a wide audience, attracted by elegant cafés and cultural spaces. The colony of French refugees, like Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, Edgar Quinet and others, would also gather there.
