A Ferris wheel in Albert Square Manchester
A photo of a large white ferris wheel in Albert Square Manchester. In the foreground is a statue of Prince Albert that has a gothic arched surround. It was early evening in December and everything was lit up with bright lights and was a contrast against the dark blue sky. The Ferris wheel was named after Geirge Washington Gale Ferris who made the first example in 1893. Albert Square is obviously named after Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband and consort.

Destroyed during WW1, the library was rebuilt thanks the Carnegie Foundation financial support. There are US emblems on its facades (flags, eagles...)

Story of the Baron Empain's kidnapping: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89douard-Jean_Empain#Kidnapping The image shows a gathering of people around a large pool, at a concert. The people are diverse in age and appearance. Many individuals are seated along the pool's edge or at tables, engaged in conversation. Some people are standing, and conversing in small groups. Overall, the people seem to be enjoying a social gathering in a pleasant outdoor setting.

Light always prevails! A short lived moment of breathtaking beauty as a granite outcrop in Patagonia's Torres del Paine catches fire, in the endless struggle between light and darkness.

Just an expanse of ocean, storm clouds, a lone bird, and weird sunset light on a previous trip to West Lewis, #OuterHebrides

#Landscape #Photography #Coast #Stormhour #Clouds
Nothing but dark grey water in the immediate foreground, and an expanse of sky filled with dark storm clouds. A burnt orange coloured gap in the clouds floods bright light rays onto a patch of sea in the distance. A lone bird can just be seen flying above the light.

Maiko Mamemaru. Hassaku (八朔) 2010. Photography by tad64 on Flickr
A maiko stands just inside a doorway, captured mid‑gesture as she gently pulls aside a pale blue noren curtain marked with a bold white circular crest. She wears a black kimono decorated with soft green, white, and yellow floral motifs, paired with an ornate cream‑colored obi embroidered with colorful blossoms. Her face is painted in the traditional white makeup of a Kyoto apprentice geisha, and her hair is styled in an elaborate coiffure adorned with decorative hairpieces that catch the light. The scene is intimate and atmospheric, blending the elegance of her attire with the quiet, traditional architecture around her, as though she is about to step from a private interior into a waiting world beyond.
