Granite Pantheon

High in a secret location in a mountainous region of the Mojave Desert is a sanctuary where the Tribe of Mojave once reigned. Although these ancient people have been lost in time, their Pantheon of Gods remain, solid as granite, assuring that the memory of the Mojave people will never die.
I pause for a moment of respect and reflection.

Evening Tennis with the India Habitat Centre architecture

Air Force Bal Bharati School is in a small institutional pocket of central Delhi where embassies, colleges and cultural centres sit close together. In the evenings its courts often fill with the sound of tennis balls from outside coaching groups, especially Team Tennis India on Lodhi Road, which runs organised sessions here for different ages and levels.

Right next door is the India Habitat Centre, the main cultural hub of the area, easy to spot with its red‑brick buildings. It was planned in the late 1980s and finished in the early 1990s as a modern complex designed to stay cooler, with shaded walkways, courtyards and terraces that still offer some relief in Delhi’s heat. Some parts now look a bit shabby and worn, but that also shows how much people actually use the place: posters on the boards, busy cafés, and regulars who seem to treat it almost like a second home.

Parapat

In north-central Sumatra on the shores of Lake Toba is the town of Parapat where there was a transit center with a fascinating assortment of animal-drawn vehicles, bicycles and even an occasional car. I stopped here a lifetime ago to take a ferry to the island of Samosir frequented by international overland travelers.

Candy Bomber (on film)

nobody@ipernity.com (m̌ ḫ) — Sat, 16 May 2026 16:47:26 +0000

The airplane mounted on the roof of the Deutsches Technikmuseum in Berlin is a Douglas C‑47, the military transport version of the Douglas DC‑3. It is dramatically fixed above the entrance on a steel structure, so it appears to be flying over the city. This placement turns the aircraft into a striking landmark and an immediate visual link to Berlin’s aviation past.

The C‑47 recalls the Berlin Airlift of 1948–1949, when such planes — nicknamed “Raisin Bombers” or “Candy Bombers” — flew supplies into blockaded West Berlin and sometimes dropped sweets for children. As an exhibit, it represents both technological progress and the political history of the Cold War, symbolizing international solidarity during the blockade and the vital role of air transport in sustaining the city.

Spicy ministry

If you've purchased a city card, it buys you a free hour on the canals – and not just for the postcard stuff. As the boat slides past Christianshavn, the guide might not even mention this long, quiet wall of brick, but it is one of the most global pieces of waterfront in Copenhagen. In the 1750s Eigtveds Pakhus was the high‑security warehouse of the Danish Asiatic Company, stacked with tea, pepper, silk and porcelain unloaded from Asia right where your boat now passes. Today the same quay is home to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in those former store rooms and new glass offices above them, Denmark’s ministers and diplomats negotiate climate deals, development aid and EU policy with partners from around the world. One short stretch of harbour, two and a half centuries apart: first spices and silk, now summits and strategy.

The Deutsches Technikmuseum’s railway halls feel like stepping into a living locomotive depot: restored 19th‑century roundhouses, wooden beams and turntables set the scene for over 40 full‑size locomotives and carriages you can view closely — a dream for photographers and history lovers. The displays mix engineering marvels (steam, diesel, electric and urban stock) with everyday objects — tickets, dining‑car crockery and uniforms — so you understand how railways changed cities, work and daily life.

Importantly, the museum does something few institutions do so plainly: it faces the darkest chapter of railway history by presenting a freight wagon and contextual exhibits about the Deutsche Reichsbahn’s role in Nazi deportations, placing victims’ stories, timetables and maps alongside the machines. That choice is a bold, responsible stance — it refuses to glamorize technology and instead shows how ordinary systems were used for extraordinary crimes, which educates visitors and strengthens public memory.

ARC - I/S Amager Ressourcecenter

m̌ ḫ has posted:

Amager Bakke (Copenhill) is a striking, angular building whose entire mass is wrapped in a shimmering “brick” façade of stacked aluminum panels, giving it an almost pixelated, industrial sculpture look. Its most famous feature is the sloping roof that becomes a full‑length artificial ski slope with green surface in summer and snow in winter, flanked by walking paths and a dramatic outdoor climbing wall on one side. Large, square openings and a clean, minimalistic profile make the plant read more like a contemporary cultural venue or art museum than a conventional incinerator, especially when illuminated at night. Behind this expressive architecture, the facility works as a combined heat‑and‑power plant, turning the city’s non‑recyclable waste into both district heating and electricity for surrounding households.

When I leave my front door and start uphill, the city falls away surprisingly fast. After fifteen minutes the concrete and parked cars are behind me and I’m already on the edge of real Little Carpathian woodland, a tangle of oaks, beeches, hornbeam and maples that feels different in every season – bright in spring, deep green in summer, copper and gold in autumn, bare and echoing in winter.

Somewhere in that mosaic of trunks and undergrowth live fallow deer, roe deer, wild boar and foxes; I only seldom see them, but I know they are here. What I enjoy is this strange overlap: the path is clearly made for people, you are still in the capital, yet the forest follows its own rules, continuing day and night whether anyone is watching or not. A simple any time walk becomes a quiet crossing between two worlds – the familiar one of stairwells, tram lines and streetlights, and the older one of hoofprints, feathers and leaves, only a few minutes apart on foot.

Not the greatest photo - but a cool memory.
My cousin and I had saved up babysitting money and come back to Britain eight years after our families emigrated to the States.
Somewhere on a train from Cardiff to northern Wales the train driver (engineer?) (conductor?) must have heard that American teens were on board and asked us if we wanted to come up front to the engine to see as we crossed the viaduct. (I don’t remember exactly where this was.)
I think he told us he wasn’t really supposed to have passengers up in the front.
Anyway, while we were up there, loving the experience, he told us that the line would very soon be closed and explained that branch lines were being closed all over Britain.
It seemed really sad to us, but I’m sure we had no real understanding of how that would affect so many small villages and towns.
Thank you to that long ago, kind train man!

Has this ever happened to you too? You get a photo back and realize it is an unfamiliar scene, taken by your own camera, yet your memory refuses to attach it to any real place. It is one of those side effects of shooting film while juggling several cameras at once… but the result is strangely fascinating.
