“The name [Bradford] is derived from 'broad ford' because of the river crossing here, which was wide and convenient for dumping stolen Escorts. Originally a small Saxon village, little of the original settlement survives, apart from a fine 15th century cathedral, which took 194 years to complete. A construction period of nearly two centuries may seem ridiculous to us, but of course builders were a lot quicker in those days.”
La hermana de una amiga busca piso urgentemente en Barcelona. Ella trabaja allí y es una chavala muy maja y responsable ✨. Busca preferiblemente por Sant Andreu, pero también se plantea zonas en las que tenga acceso a la línea 1 del metro. Preferiría compartir piso con personas entre 23-37 años aprox.
Si conoces a alguien, mándame un MD y os pongo en contacto 😊
A #RENFE 🇪🇸 class 448 trainset (if I remember well) is seen here, in “reformado regionales” livery, under the impressive station roof of #PortBou. It is ready to work a regional service to #Barcelona. Photo taken in August 2006 while on a cycling tour in the area. #PastTrainTrips
I really like the #artwork of #Catalan artist Antoni Gaudí. At the end of the 19th century he became famous for his works of wrought iron, furniture, ceramics, sculptures, mosaics and stained glass windows. His forms were always organic, curved and integrated into the buildings. Anyone who has ever been to #Barcelona will have spotted Gaudí's signature everywhere in the city (Park Güell is amazing!)
Now I was able to get close to his art in a very special way. In 2023, an immersive art centre in the Phoenix Halle, a former gas treating plant, in #Dortmund was created. 'Phoenix des Lumières' presents monumental immersive digital exhibitions, dedicated to major artists in the history of art and to #contemporary#art. #Gaudí and #Dalí are currently on show there (more photos to follow).
Hope you like these highlights from the Gaudí #exhibition as much as I do 😍 https://www.phoenix-lumieres.com/en #architecture#PhoenixDesLumieres#HistoryLessonWithBella
Der #Nachtzug von Paris nach Latour de Carol ist eine günstige und #klimafreundliche Option für Reisen nach #Barcelona - wenn man ihn mit einer kaum bekannten Regionalbahn kombiniert. Aber die Toiletten sind eine Sauerei. taz.de/Nachtzug-von-P… #SNCF#Bahn#Nachtzüge

Absolutely loved #FOSDEM as usual. Although I didn't present this year (having shared my insights in previous years, 2019 and last year), I decided to take a more laid-back approach this time around, feeling I had less new material to contribute.
But, for those who will be in #Barcelona this Wednesday, I'm excited to invite you to Geomob Barcelona. I'll be discussing the integration of links between #OSM and #Wikidata – a topic I'm passionate about.
I tak się żyje w tym antropocenie.
Z tymi prysznicami w klubach pływackich to nie do końca prawda, wczoraj byłem na basenie i zamknęli bodajże 4 na 10 pryszniców, nie wiem co to ma zmieniać, jeśli ta sama liczba ludzi wykąpie się w pozostałych. Ale tak poza tym wygląda to źle.
