My Wife worked there for many years as unemployment court stenographer.
Luckily she left before the big disaster!

Pretty good photographerIsabel and her sister, niece, and nephew-in-law, visited a city with a grand view of;
An island, but not before taking a photo of her first love; teaching.
And, . . .
And, majestic waterfalls.
More, later today.
Have a good morning.

Before we met, her roomies, tenured teachers in Socorro, NM, in their own right (read Very Large Array, Bill) dared her to touch my hair, at our very first faculty orientation.Pretty good photographerIsabel and her sister, niece, and nephew-in-law, visited a city with a grand view of;

I'm pretty catchy, aren't I.?
That's what I get for catching my baby teeth, and hurling them at the sun, with the request that it surrender a better one. Better one than Isabel, I don't know, but, I hung around and now the parents of one of my genius kids, will be here.

I know you do Bill and thank you so much. If you love it I know I did a good job photographing it. I can always send you a copy through email or regular mail. Just let me knowI always liked that building!
I have always loved this photo, Mina
(Plus 1) I will always remember the bus tour we took in New York. I got so many memorable photos. I was on the top tier and hanging on with one hand and shooting with the other. I thought the bus in front was going to tip over from the weight.
(Entry 3) Taken during a night photo shoot in Washington, DC. Because I couldn't get a good shot facing the park (too dark). I took it facing the city because of the lights.
Sincerely,
Mina

Beautiful series Den! I especially like the people sitting outside enjoying themselves.
and one of the many reasons why:
Princess Cake, Angelina Patisserie, founded in 1903, Paris, France
Glad those days are coming back soon.

Maybe pick one or two places, if possible, and try to make it happen. I haven't decided yet but I would like to take one more trip to someplace I really want to see.

The photos remind me a little of Greece and Egypt, especially the Mosaics. Wonderful!This is the old city of Meknes, in central Morocco.
Near Meknes is the 3rd century BC Berber city of Volubilis which came under Roman rule in the 1st century AD. It is an amazing place, and a photographer's dream. I'm afraid I didn't do it justice with my SX10 point and shoot nine years ago. Maybe this should be the required cityscape for the challenge.
For me, of all the amazing sights, the floors of mosaic tiles stick in my memory. When I was visiting, they were in full sun, unprotected from the elements, or for that matter, the tourists.
Regards, Troy

Absolutely beautiful images Val! I'm enjoying the pink in the images.It was a hot and steamy afternoon in Hong Kong. I was desperate for someplace that I could feel cool that wasn't in a shopping mall. I took the train out to Sha Tin and hiked up to the 10,000 Buddha's Temple. The added a new feature since I was there last in 1996, A stature of Kuan Yin in a waterfall grotto. I sat down in the shade for an hour cooling off. It was the best moment of that trip to Hong Kong
Kuan Yin
Incense Burner
The Temple Complex
The hike up to the temple is lined with monks

I liked and enjoyed them all and especially liked the blue in the images. I knew it had to be someone important because I saw the Secret Service Agents in the first photo. The Boys from the hood look greatBet you don't know who that is.
No, not her.
Nor her.
Well?
She mistook me for a photographer, from the bigger city.
Church leader in Abiquiu.
Hello, Ike.
Indigenous Pueblo Leaders.
Boys from the hood.
He said that he is a Vietnam Veteran.
So, this is what the hoopla was for. But, I was there for . . .
(Sorry, I've seem to have run out of . . . (I'll post more tomorrow.)
You've seen my village photos, but I'm leaving one of those for a challenge, next door.
Enjoy
