Old San Juan fortified wall and "garita" (sentinel look out). A fortified wall was constructed around the city to protect it from pirates and Spain enemies.

"La Fortaleza" with Christmas decorations in Old San Juan. La Fortaleza, also known as Palacio de Santa Catalina, was the first fort contructed by Spain to protect the city of San Juan in Puerto Rico. Construction started in 1533 and ended in 1540. In 1822 Spain designated La Fortaleza as the official residence of the Governor of Puerto Rico. In 1983, UNESCO designated La Fortaleza as World Heritage Cultural Site (http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/266). Today, the "Palacio de Santa Catalina" still is the living quarters of the Governor of Puerto Rico. It's considered the oldest state house in the Americas.

Built in 1882 as part of the Industrial and Agricultural Fair in Ponce. In 1883 becomes Ponces fire house, where volunteer firemen help to protect Ponce from fire, earthquakes and other disasters. It has been a museum since 1990.

This was a beautiful scene up in the rockey moutains.

It has to be mentioned that I nearly burnt my feet trying to take this photo. People are supposed to take off their shoes entering Hindu temples so, of course, I took off my shoes. As I was entering the temple I saw this elephant heading outside. I really wanted to take a picture of such exotic scene but for that I had to get a good bit in front of the elephant to get a good view but the ground was so hot to stand on. I was so determined to capture this moment that, no matter how painful it was, I did get to the good viewing point with no shoes on and after the job was done I had to sprint back because it was simply unbearable to keep my feet on the ground for more than a second! I had to work hard for this one!

Dunedin is a city built on hills. Streets are steep and architecture is built to accommodate the slant. You know a street is really steep when the sidewalk is replaced by steps and when the tar seal is replaced by concrete to stop the road surface flowing downhill on sunny days.

While walking along a street in Effesis, I came upon this business establishment that was sorely in need of renovation. I looked around for a sign saying when it was scheduled to reopen. Having found not I pocketed my wallet and left.

Looking toward Times Square. This was taken on a cold, rainy,day, while on my way to Radio City Music Hall. Don't ask me to expaline the gentleman in shorts. After all this is New York City.

This is a portions of the area where I go for my daily walk. The Monastary is home to a Frence Order of elderly nuns. The park I am standing in is complete with flowers & trees (in season) and has a stream with a foot bridge. The surrounding woods contain Deer, and a wide variety of wild animal life. In addition the Long Island Sound is nearby.

Despite the fact that the majority of California's private property owners refused to sell or deed their land to Chinese, there were areas where many Chinese in Northern California living outside of San Francisco Chinatown, could maintain small communities or even individual business, but except for Oakland, they did not set up any special town with shopping and restaurants. Nonetheless, the historic rights of property owners to deed or sell their property to whom was exercised in sufficient numbers to keep the Chinese community from spreading outside of its early development. However, the Supreme Court ruled it was unconstitutional for property owners to deed their rights so that certain groups were excluded. These rulings allowed the enlargement of Chinatown and an increase of the Chinese population of the city. At the same time, the declining white population of the city as a result of White Flight combined to change the demographics of the city. Neighborhoods that were once predominately white, such as Richmond District and Sunset District and in other suburbs across the San Francisco Bay Area became centers of new Chinese immigrant communities. This included new immigrant groups such as Mandarin-speaking immigrants from Taiwan who have tended to settled in suburban Millbrae, Cupertino, Milpitas, and Mountain View – avoiding San Francisco as well as Oakland entirely. This suburbanization continues today.

The real symmetry in this photo is confusing. It's a lady painting a rendering of the painted ladies "so it's a photo of a painting lady painting a picture of the painted ladies" Make sense?

The San Francisco Painted Ladies are a row of Victorian homes located on Steiner Street between Hayes and Grove. When viewed from Alamo Square (the park across the street), the Painted Ladies are in stark contrast to the modern skyline of downtown San Francisco. This contrast has made the Painted Ladies the most famous of the 14,000 Victorian homes in San Francisco.

This photo was taken in Chinatown, Singapore. The face expressions of those lady customers was what attracted me to take this picture.

A monument to Bohdan Khmelnitskiy on Sofievskaya square of Kiev — one of the most famous Hetmans of Ukraine. Bohdan Khmelnitskiy (relatively 1595-1657) — state and military figure, in 1648 elected the Hetman of Ukraine. Under his leadership a war for liberation of Ukrainian people against Polish oppression in Ukraine started and successfully finished. On the 8th of January 1654 the non-aggression and mutual assistance act about political and military union of Ukraine and Russia. Khmelnitskiy points with his right hand to the north in the direction of Moscow. However, this picture was taken during preparation time to celebrate 15 year of independence of Ukraine.

The Cross stands at the heart of Chester (on the left of the picture)where Bridge, Northgate, Watergate and Eastgate Streets meet, and is an obvious meeting point. It was carved from local sandstone in the 15th century and was badly vandalised during the English Civil War in the 17th century. The Town Crier greets visitors here and religious preachers use the area to express their beliefs. If you are wondering where the actual cross is, study the ball that sits atop the monument! This part of the city also boasts the best view of the rows.

Old Trail Town is located in Cody, Wyoming--gateway to Yellowstone Park's East entrance. Cody is in the heart of the "American West." For example, a short distance north of Cody you could take the turnoff and drive the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway through Wyoming's spectacular Sunlight Basin on the way to Cooke City, Montana, and the northeast entrance to Yellowstone Park. The Sunlight Basin is located in the midst of the majestic peaks of the Absaroka Mountains with cuthroat trout steams beckoning at every turn. Or, instead of taking the turn to historic Cooke City, you could take the turn to historic Red Lodge, Montana, and drive over the remarkable Beartooth Pass and Beartooth Mountains. During your stay in Cody, you'll enjoy shopping, vacationing at one of the area's fine dude ranches, visiting the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, or taking advantage of the area's outdoor recreational activities. We would like to extend our personal invitation to have you visit Old Trail town and Cody, Wyoming. The Old Trail Town collection now consists of 26 buildings, which date from 1879 to 1901, one hundred horse-drawn vehicles, plus an extensive collection of Native American artifacts and memorabilia of the Wyoming frontier. Native American artifacts are representative of Shoshone, Gros Ventre, and Crow indian culture and heritage. Old Trail Town interprets the American West and Wyoming's colorful western past with its buildings and extensive collection of treasured memorabilia reflecting live on the Wyoming Frontier as well as the lives of many of Wyoming's colorful historical figures. These include John "Jeremiah" Liver Eating" Johnston, Jim White "Buffalo Hunter," Phillip Vitter, a trapper killed by a grizzly bear, W.A. Gallagher and Blind Bill, cowboys murdered in 1894. Of course, the story of the West is incomplete without the mention of Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy, outlaws, and Curry, General Custer's Crow Indian scout, and General Custer Himself. The Rivers Saloon pictured above was built at the mouth of Wood River, west of present-day Meeteetse, Wyoming, in 1888. It was frequented by cowboys, gold miners, outlaws, and other colorful characters of the old West. Bullet holes can still be seen in the door. The "Hole in The Wall" gang's cabin is a two-room log cabin built on Buffalo Creek in the "Hole in the Wall" country in 1883 by Alexander Ghent. It was a rendezvous for Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid and other outlaws of the region.

Cijin District is a district of Kaohsiung City, Republic of China in southern Taiwan, covering the entire Cijin Island. Most of its residents are employed by the shipping industry. Cijin Island was once connected to the mainland at the southern tip, but in 1975, this link was severed to create a second entry point to the Port of Kaohsiung. (Source: Wikipedia)

It is a beautiful fall day. People are parking their cars to go for a walk. One car is driving through the drive-in bank. Behind the drive-in bank is a parking lot and then a row of trees alongside the river. Can you see them?--The sky is reflecting in the upper windows. The colored maples are reflecting in one of the big windows. The other big window shows the reflection of the steps which lead up to the Dept. of Library building. I was very happy how this shot turned out. (p3767-833k)

In 1673, several persons escorted the golden icon of Ma-Zu from Meizhou of Fujian Province to Da Gou Harbor on an ancient sailboat. When they landed on Ci Hou, fire came out of the censer (a container, usually covered, in which incense is burned, esp. during religious services; thurible) and the spirit instructed them to settle in Ci Hou. So the foundation of Tien Hou Temple was laid there to serve the Queen of Heaven. On August 19, 1985, Tien Hou Temple became a designated Class C historical landmark in accordance with the announcement of the Ministry of the Interior. The only temple of Kaohsiung City placed under protection as a significant cultural asset, Tien Hou Temple is the religious center of Ci Hou. (Source: plaque in front of temple) Chinese characters on the lanterns are 'Tien Hou Temple', 'Respected Queen of Heaven' and 'Safety for the whole territory'.

In this beautiful old Victorian town, Ocean Grove NJ, there are many of these alleys between the streets. I loved this one because of the antique store that was on it and all the lovely antiques outside against the wall. The sign was beautiful too - and it certainly was a hidden treasure.

This beautiful yellow Victorian mansion is across the street from the Marble House on Bellevue Avenue. Besides the stately, elegant and HUGE mansions that are owned by the Newport Historical Society and open to the public as museums, there are still some wealthy folks who actually live in some gorgeous mansions on this street. This one was of my favorite ones - I can almost see in my mind a beautiful old horse and carriage riding through these gates, can't you?

The cobbled Church Street is the old market area of Windsor.

The quaint atmosphere of the ancient city of Volterra just after dawn. The medieval houses on the right overlook the Roman Theatre and Baths down on the left, while a local woman walks down the street carrying on her shopping bags.

Strolling through the street of the old "Quadrilatero Romano", the historical center of Torino, you can find details plenty of atmosphere, like this Baroque Lion's gate!

So old, (built in 1857) so tall, such a unique shape.

Street Busker entertains the crowd in Adelaide city, South Australia. Laughter is the best medicine.

.. with his feathered friends that appeared from nowhere. He was attracting a lot of attention on the street.

Adelaide, Rundle Mall, our busiest city street.

This road is near my home. It runs along the river. The geese that live along the river are always crossing this road - some even cross and then start back again. Cars often stop and wait a LONG time for the flocks to cross. I just had to get a photo of them - this is a common street scene here in my neighborhood!

. . . but, he was walking up the correct side, unlike some people. (He made it, too, because I've seen him since, and they track him too via the band on his leg.)

I was concerned about this rare whooping crane starting up the street . . .

'Giddyup'! Don't You See the Sign?

A scene captured on the city main sea-front.

I went to Cocoa Village, Florida to find street scenes and found this BMW Roadster parked in front of this wall mural. I found it to be a neat contrast. When I add my street scenes album this week, you will see all the murels in this city.

I just looked up as this neat Community Bank van was driving by and snapped a quick shot as he was wondering what this crazy tourist was doing taking his picture.

I love the details of their street signs. The guy even has nice shoes on.

Montmartre is very hilly

So gleeful

In November we visited Ringwood Manor and found they had several period people roaming the grounds. We saw President Lincoln and his wife, and also General Grant and his wife Julia. I captured a shot of General Grant and his wife strolling down this dirt road behind the manor. I took my photo and softened it and used a sepia filter to look it more like a photo from that period of time.

I got this closeup of a Newport Rhode Island trolley at night.

When I first posted my photos of Newport, someone commented that the trolleys in Newport were probably just for tourists. NO folks - these are what Newport has INSTEAD of buses, and they run year round for everyone, not just tourists. As you can see they are beautiful and next time we go my daughters and I plan to take a few rides on them. There were trolleys of all colors as well - green, red and white.

A group of street dancers at a port of call in the Western Caribbean invited the tourists to join in. Some joined and some took pictures of the gaiety.

The scene from the top of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri is spectacular. You can see a great distance. There are modern buildings, factories, street traffic, and, what everyone looks for: Busch Stadium.

No set of street scenes would be complete without a traffic jam. This one on I-35E in Texas lasted for miles. Someone lost their household belongings along the highway when their U-Haul trailer collided with another vehicle.

Antique and craft stores, plus many restaurants, line the brick-paved streets and sidewalks in St. Charles, Missouri. It's a great place to shop and dine. Creative Challenge - Street Scenes P1090194

In preparation for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, many of Vancouver's streets are a virtual construction zone, with many shops and businesses suffering because of the challenge it is to gain access to their premises. In some areas, the construction has ended, and it wonderful to see trees, buildings and streets once again without the barricade of the retaining construction gates. The odd thing about the top left image was the 'Keep Right' sign in an area where it was only possible to keep left. Also, the lower right image is a capture of one of the massive construction scenes I have ever witnessed in the Greater Vancouver area, the rapid transit system which is scheduled to connect downtown Vancouver to Vancouver's International Airport (YVR). In some areas it has completely altered the face of the community. In the City of Richmond, for example, much of the commercial area along No 3 Road has lost its small-town charm, with trees removed and flower planters gone, and the 'Skytrain' completely above ground, since tunnels were not a viable option there. Once construction is complete, and landscaping has been done, that should hopefully be restored somewhat.

Banners announcing the 2010 Winter Olympics are beginning to line the streets of Vancouver. The inset photo show the construction site of one of the Olympic venues.

A collection of images as seen on the streets of Vancouver, BC in various parts of town in all kinds of weather. Clockwise from Left to Right: rainy street at dusk, bus crossing the Granville Street Bridge, heading north on Main Street near the Punjabi Market, and shops on Fraser Street. Inset image: view of North Shore Mountains as seen in the left view mirror - and yes, the car was parked for this picture!

In the 1800s, scenes like this were seen in farms throughout the country!

I stood in the middle of the road to get this photo, ever conscious of the traffic that was coming up behind me. I was facing north in Door County, Wisconsin, and this road leads to the Washington Island ferry landing. dsc04852

When walking through the streets of Antibes, France, I stumbled across this scene. To me, this is the embodiment of "French"... The jeux des boules, the dressed up lady, all of it. So out came the camera... This picture is part of the "Short Break to Nice" album.

An empty street in Paraty, Brazil, at night. Paraty, also spelled Parati, is a great colonial town, 125 miles from Rio de Janeiro on Ilha Grande Bay, Brazil's southeastern coast. This shot is part of the "Honeymoon" album.

The night this was taken was the last truly warm evening of autumn in Milwaukee. Although it was nearly 10:00 p.m., there was still plenty of traffic on Lincoln Memorial Drive. This photo is best viewed full size. dsc06972

The swan has definitely charmed those who went for a walk near the Wawel Castle that afternoon...

Taken in Fountainbleau in France - in Sathurday afternoon all French are outdoors ;)

Watch out!

An "Afrobat" at Bethesda Terrace, Central Park, NYC

Patiently waiting for his boss to return.

A lengthy delay in Dallas airport gave me lots of photo ops. I like the airy open feeling of the space and the silhouettes of these 2 security officers gave me a feeling of authority.

A street scene from Old Town in Albuquerque, New Mexico

They deliver bread by bicycle early in the morning in Cario.

This gazebo is in the court yard of the court house, and Court Street is in the background where the cars are parked.

This is the sidewalk and store fronts of Main Street, on the south side, on a rainy Friday afternoon.

Looking from the court yard of the court house, this is the store fronts of the north side of Main Street down town, on a rainy Friday afternoon.

This one invites creative titling. 'We LOVE shopping!' for example. The kids were involved in a youth group 'road rally,' various carloads of high-energy kids headed out to be just a bit goofy (but not destructive or dangerous) and to celebrate the joys of life that do not involve illicit, illegal or anti-social behavior. (No one was hurt in the taking of this photo.)

Since this picture was taken, the building sold and the color has changed.

This photo was taken from the stairwell of the 16th Floor of the Camino Real Hotel where, I believe, other photographers have removed the inset glass "blinds" to get great shots of the town.

The Changing of the Guard presents a colourful spectacle. It takes places daily at 11.30. Accompanied by a band, the new guard march from a nearby barracks to the palace, where the troops form up facing the old guard. As the changeover takes place, the officers of the old and new contingents advance and touch left hands to symbolize the transfer of keys.

Stands tall at intersection of Interstate and Denver across from Max line. Few years back he was moved back due to Max construction.

Yes .. he actually was playing the other guitar. This one is too vertical to be a contender in the challenge but I thought it was interesting enough to include anyway.

Check it out full size to see the looks on the faces of the old street scene people in Cocoa Village, Florida. Scenes painted on this bank building are from old street scenes in Cocoa village. My new weekend walk for next week will have more scenes and murals and the rest of this one.

I thought this little boy was crazy but he was having a blast.

I loved the beautiful buildings and colors of the street on Old San Juan.

Easy Street Bus Stop... where you can get directions to Land 'n Ocean... touts always being on time... but I wouldn't wait tooo awful long....

John and Charlotte, "Rail Riders" by their definition, pose in front of one of the Kansas City Southern Railroad's venerable "White Ghost" locomotives in Shreveport.

This is my favorite Red River Revel photograph. The Native American artist is giving me the eye (see photo, left side) and the darkening sky added color to the background.

Film crew floodlight the Scottish Rite Temple in Shreveport. The temple is located on Common Street, one of the main thoroughfares leading into downtown Shreveport. After shooting all day for the movie "Mad Money", starring Katie Holmes, Queen Latifah, and Diane Keaton, the incredibly bright movie floodlights were still lighting up the temple. This picture was taken on a sunny afternoon, however, the bright movie floodlights fooled the camera, creating the appearance that the pictures were taken at night.

Late Spring - Mother's Day - Hundreds of people in black robes and hats blocking the street. An ecologically progressive demonstration? No, just your typical Southern Liberal Arts College Graduation - a day a great many people want to remember.

Quiete little town, in La Prairie Quebec, Canada.

In late June, this small tree in my yard suddenly burst into bloom. Now I can say that it is definitely spring.

The building in the background is The Plaza Hotel. I'm sure many of you have seen this in many movies, for example "Home Alone For Christmas" and many other movies. The Plaza is being rennovated and turned into Condo's. May of New Yorks Hotels are being renovated and becoming half Condo's and half hotel...

Today (3/31/08) over 100 truckers formed a convoy to circle the state capitol (Harrisburg) to protest high fuel prices. The noise on 7th Street was awesome! Turn up the volume and check out the video (next shot).
