Rio! I miss that city. Interesting six months of my life. Love it up! And look for the barber in Lapa still giving the most amazing straight-straight shaves possible for $5 (if he's still there...).

Transfomers 3: Revenge of the Amish?

Just kidding, love it.

Hops were just harvested so there was a sick line up of ipa's on tap as well. I was in heaven:D

Very boring day, cleaning the shrimp tank.

Here are some pets of a different kind:

I use to have almost a thousand of them

They grow to almost 2 cm max (the dominant females anyway, males are half the size).

Now only around 100, not enough time to take care of huge aquariums anymore...

[jigsaw]

ooo my god thats a very cool pet mike.....

[devilish]

Not from today but this past Saturday, after getting a signed copy of Jeans of the Old West: A History. Went for a walk in the Marin Headlands at Tennessee Valley. Watched a rain storm coming in over the hills at sunset.

Que cidade maravilhosa!

And I just realized the shirt I wore on and off all weekend:

Raizes do Rio!

[ninja07]

Not today but on Sunday we took a drive out of the concrete jungle we live in to a more secluded part of town, amongst the nature reserve and what may be the last significant part of the rainforest left in the country. Best thing is, its barely 10 mins from where we live.

Driving through country-style roads and arriving at the end.

This is the home to the Saddle Club and stables where people still keep horses in this country. Didn't venture further afield but there's close to 4 acres of land and facilities for all sorts of equestrian sport and activities.

Stepping inside the club there is a nice wall which brings back nostalgia of the sport's glorious days.

We went to a place at the other end for lunch. Interesting place where the aesthetic seems to be painting over everything originalwwith something new, kind of whimsical in an Alice in Wonderland kind of way.

Along the way we saw 2 white rabbits....

after lunch was just fooling around in the back garden with the kiddies...

have a great week ahead everyone.

x-post from waywt thread

going to the waterfalls

[FACE]

Photo walk tonight, had a hell of a time early on dodging rabid Vikings fans (we finally win one.), but it eventually thinned out and I got to shooting...

Parked by one of my favorite local Italian restaurants. Nothing fancy, just great food in huge family style portions that you can share. this is the original Buca restaurant. I believe they have a few in Chicago as well??

the restaurants are everywhere, got a few here in Orlando/florida area, never had but heard good things.

[Rivet Head]

They've got a couple Buca's here in the Detroit area too...not bad food, but very garlicky!

[dkatz]

Much much more in The Flat Head 3001 World Tour

this was just another day in the office. TIme was I'd do this every day and resent it, now I enjoy…

My train arrived in the heart of the city; the oldest part of London, and still the centre of the banking district. One year ago you could look out of the main station and see the dome of a little 17th century church, refined and simple, almost byzantine or turkish.

Now I see this building.

But it's part of a process of constant change, always has been. In this area the streets twist and turn, following a medieval street pattern. You walk past a modern building then in its window see the reflection of another old church, again built in the 1690s, and in this case mostly destroyed in 1940.

The walk along the river is, as usual, beautiful.

Around a year ago we walked down to the Thames foreshore at this point and looked for old stuff. We brought back clay pipes from the 1690s, 1710s, 1790s right through to the Victorain period. The nipper and I had an argument about what gnarly old bones he could bring back home and settle one one that looked interesting. Turned out it was a wild boar - last found in England in the 1640s. We chatted to another guy looking for stuff and he showed us his finds: marbles, from the gallo-roman period, maybe 200AD, and a stone die, from a Roman version of solitaire, from maybe the same period. All of this stuff is being washed around the river - along with loads of other shit.

But always, near the old, there is new. Building, always building.

Don't know what these steel panels are for, but they perfectly reflect the dirty brown of the Thames.

And now, into the office. Mentioned before it was swanky. True, huh?

And maybe five hours later we'd edited a bunch of photos down to the 50 or so we needed. And time for home.

the walk there was beautiful - the walk back, more so.

[Paul T]

This is the Tate MOdern. POsted about it a month ago. IN the fall evening, with a newish moon, it's maybe even more beautiful.

Yup, this is my walk.

Cutting back, away from the river, thru new buildings. But even where the buildings are new, there's old, cobbled streets.

Taxis whisking people home, once more against a backdrop of old and new buildings, street signs and the ubiquitous CCTV cameras.

And always, in these streets, little glimpses of river - and tonight the moon that watches over us.

Nearly back to the train station. I mentioned the church dome you could see, until it was blocked off by the new development. THis is it. For me, one of the most beautiful interiors in London, a tiny dry-run for the Saint Paul's dome, that isn't that much bigger than a generous living room.

The interior: the altar, that alost lumous white block of stone in the centre, is carved by Henry Moore. Pissed off a few old farts at the time. But it works. One thing about English churches is the plain-ness. No fancy paintings, pretty much all black and white, and the interplay of shadows.

Outside, you can just see the old dome - now sandwiched in between new buildings, surrounded by people in a rush to get home, or on to their next meeting.

And this is the building that hides it all away. But whereas in the daytime it's an ugly blob, at night you can see the beauty of the steel skeleton, underneath. One day this too will fall and be replaced, maybe not too many years from now.

And then, home. ALong with the commuters who do this, from the banking district, every day. I might be back, lunchtime MOnday. Bon voyage, suckers!

[jaspar]

All these pictures of denser, cosmopolitan cities in cooler climes make me resent LA, in Fall most of all.
