I've recently moved job/country/continent and after a long delay because of Covid, it's a relief to be here. I've been placed in an aparment which is not really my cup of tea in terms of location but which does at least, when the sky is right, have spectacular sunrise views. No alarm clock needed.
That's the Saigon river there.

That lady is amazing. She's got teeth in the figurative way, exactly how it counts. She's got figurative balls as well.

Found a picture of my old pump room for one of the zebrafish facilities I used to run.
The big grey cylinders are fluidized sand beds growing bacteria. They are the biological filter.
This water system took care of ~6,000 fish tanks.

Yesterday my wife and I attended the inauguration of the new president of the college where we used to teach:

He's flanked by his kids, his wife, and the chairman of the college's board of trustees.

We're both retired, so we attended as ordinary guests and didn't have to wear our "monkey suits" (academic regalia). We got a luncheon out of it afterwards, in an open-air tent on the lawn.

A beautiful antique car I passed by recently. The gas station at which it is parked is actually an old station from the 1950s and a so-called "listed building" which is marked for historial protection.

And the fresh tuna from there. Add avocado, olive oil and pumpkin seeds to this. You can't get any healthier.

Neighboring street as the many different kinds of trees change colors in each their different ways:

IMG_0349.JPG
Here is a tree with a nice gradation of colors. It looked great earlier when a much stronger light was hitting it from behind, making it kind of glow. Didn't get outside fast enough to get the shot however.
The dark background of the roof accentuates the colors, but a view with the roof in the background of the entire tree would have required a telephoto lens.

Unfortunately this time of year the Northerly winds are from the land masses to North. As opposed to the clear air from Southerlies :

Update: I moved out of the place that wasn't my cup of tea and into a less flashy place in the centre. I don't get the spectacular sunrises but I'm surrounded by the chaos and colour of normal life. Much more my kind of place.

Wow @rsk!
Nice shot of a interesting and complex situation.

Reminds me of a warren of living places for animals (with a technical capacity).

A little FireFighter humor -- Cal Fire and other FF agencies have been clearing out brush and trees in Alum Rock Park (in the foothills east of Silicon Valley in California) as part of a project to create fire breaks and lower the fuel load in the area (thank you FFs!). You can see a little fun that they had here at the park bench at the top of the Service Road on the south side of the Park -- they used some of the spare wood that they cut to add some footstools and extra seating to the park bench area... :smile:

Interesting .For sunrise/sunsets you should easily be able to get a place with access to the roof, roof/patio. It looks like I can see some possibilities in this photo.

Yes, I can get on the roof here though it's a much smaller building. For when I want panoramic views there are quite a few 'sky bar' type places in this city. Now that restrictions are slowly being lifted I guess they'll be opening up again.

Some autumn photos taken in the evening a couple of days ago, using long exposure and a tripod,
