While the publicity around #JKRowling isn't the best at the moment quite rightly, it is undoubted what she has created in terms of #HarryPotter. Once you are in #Edinburgh and manage to see #TheRoyalMile and if you're a #Potterhead (and even if you're not), this place at the #CityChambers shows the hands of JK Rowling immortalized in the ground of the city Harry's world was created in.

You'll find this place when walking through the entrance, turning left towards a small door!

This image shows the handprints of J.K. Rowling embedded in stone or concrete. The handprints are accompanied by the inscription "J.K. Rowling 2008," indicating that these were made by the author in the year 2008. The image is in black and white, highlighting the textures and details of the handprints and the surface on which they are imprinted.

#ThrowbackThursday #TBT: 7 years ago today we were in #Wrocław for an afternoon. There are more than 970 "Wrocław #dwarfs" all over the city, but I only snapped a few of these mini #bronze figurines, sorry!

(Sorry, I really didn't mean to post so many carousel posts today!)

Three bronze statues of Wrocław Dwarfs stand on a cobblestone street. The dwarf on the left, representing deafness, wears a pointed hat and puts a hand to his ear, looking upwards. The dwarf in the middle, representing blindness, holds a white cane. The dwarf on the right is in a wheelchair. A red brick building with a window is visible in the background. The shadows of people are cast on the building.

A bronze statue of a Wrocław Dwarf stands on a cobblestone street. The dwarf is holding a guitar above its head, its arms outstretched. In the background, there's a bustling market square with colourful buildings, people walking around, and a church tower visible on the left.

Two bronze statues of Wrocław Dwarfs are positioned on the exterior of a building. One dwarf sits on a window ledge, while the other is standing on the street, seemingly pulling the first dwarf up with a rope. The building's exterior is made of stone and features a window with text partially visible above it.

A cobblestone street curves gently between buildings of varying heights and colours under a bright blue sky. In the distance, the distinctive towers of the Castle Church in Wittenberg rise prominently. People stroll along the pavements. The scene is bathed in soft daylight, casting subtle shadows on the buildings.

An upside-down view shows a row of buildings along a riverbank, reflected in the water. Above the reflection is a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The buildings are a mix of pale yellow and cream colours, with various window styles. A tower with a spire is visible amongst the buildings. The river appears calm with slight ripples causing distortions in the reflections.

▴ Málaga

The Cathedral of Málaga, locally known as 'La Manquita' or 'The One-Armed Lady', was never completed. Its second tower remains unfinished due to redirected funding in the 18th century. Nonetheless, the building stands as a striking centerpiece of the old town of Málaga, especially when it catches the warm evening light during golden hour.

"Never again is now" - Good guy #Augsburg

#NieWiederIstJetzt #NeverAgainIsNow #urban #city #Altstadt #oldTown #streetPhotography

A wide shot shows the front facade of a large, light-coloured building with a red tiled roof, situated on a spacious, patterned cobblestone square. The building has multiple arched doorways and windows across several floors. A large white banner hangs across the central section of the building, displaying the text "Nie wieder ist jetzt." ("Never again is now" in German) in black lettering.
To the left and right of the main building, sections of adjacent buildings are visible. On the right side of the square, several outdoor tables and chairs with white umbrellas are set up. The sky above is a clear, pale blue with some wispy clouds. The pavement in the foreground features a decorative wave-like pattern in contrasting light and dark cobblestones.

The intersection of Nieuwe Herengracht and Entrepotdok is located in Amsterdam’s Plantage district, a neighborhood with a strong historical and cultural character.

Nieuwe Herengracht, part of the city’s famous canal system, extends from the Herengracht and runs between the Amstel River and the Scharrebiersluis near Entrepotdok. Built in

, it marks the eastern edge of the canal belt.

️

At this junction, several bridges help connect different parts of the neighborhood. The “Walter Süskind Bridge” (no. 237) links Nieuwe Herengracht to the Weesperzijde, serving as a key crossing for both pedestrians and cyclists. Nearby, the “M.S. Vaz Dias Bridge” (no. 238) and the “Hortus Bridge” (no. 239) also play an important role in keeping the area well connected.
