100. Statue of Light and Life

🧠 This was when I went to look around Scotland Street School (not knowing it's covered in scaffolding) an saw this view when I wandered a bit and looked the other direction. I thought it was interesting seeing this grand building cut across by motorway bridges.

⭐i tried hard to make the building stand out a bit with editing and thinmk I did an OK job.

âžĄïžNext time I'd try with slower shutter on a tripod to get more motion blue on passing cars.

40 Jahre nach #Tschernobyl 15 Jahre nach #Fukushima und 3 Jahre nach dem letzten #AKW in Deutschland - und dennoch reden manche von der #Rennaissance der #Atomkraft 
 Der #Uranatlas von #BUND #Greenpeace #IPPNW und #NFFF liefert Fakten, die zeigen: Der #Atomausstieg war richtig und wichtig. Genauso braucht es eine atomare AbrĂŒstung! https://www.ippnw.de/commonFiles/pdfs/Shop/Uranatlas_2026.pdf #il

13 Jahre geschlossen. Jetzt wieder offen.
Die Dominikanerkirche in Augsburg wurde frisch renoviert – klar, hell, zurĂŒckhaltend. Besonders eindrucksvoll: die Lichtinstallation von Lab Binaer. Ein Ort mit neuer Relevanz. Ich war bei der Eröffnung dabei – sehr gelungen.

#artandarchitecture

The seat of the House of Braganza , which became the reigning house in Portugal from 1640 to 1910. Construction of the #manueline #palace began during the tenure of Duke Jaime of Braganza, between 1501 and 1502. The imposing #marble #classical #mannerist facade began in 1583 consisting of two floors, one with #tuscan capitals, the other with #ionic capitals. Later, in 1610, construction began of the additional third floor. The palace was the birthplace of Catherine of Braganza, Queen Consort of England and her father John IV, King of Portugal (the first Braganza king).

Les Fachos d'extrĂȘme droite et les Fachos-capitalistes roulent main dans la main :

"Les eurodĂ©puté·es ReconquĂȘte ont votĂ© contre l’interdiction des coupures d’électricitĂ© pour les plus prĂ©caires ; le RN s’est abstenu."

'La formation de Jordan Bardella s’est sont Ă©galement opposĂ©es Ă  la loi europĂ©enne sur l’obligation de rĂ©novation des passoires thermiques."

"De mĂȘme, les Ă©lu·es RN et ReconquĂȘte ont votĂ© contre le Fonds social europĂ©en qui aident les plus prĂ©caires Ă  financer la rĂ©novation de leur logement ou Ă  accĂ©der au vĂ©hicule Ă©lectrique par exemple."

Alors, #RN parti du peuple ? #Rennaissance parti du peuple ?
