Dal litorale roccioso di Via Piano di Gallo, nelle calme ore della sera, Monte Pellegrino rivela una sagoma inattesa. Il suo profilo ricorda quello di un grande cane accucciato accanto al mare: la testa e le orecchie rivolte verso sinistra, le zampe posteriori raccolte sulla destra.<br />
<br />
Ai piedi del monte si susseguono Addaura e Valdesi, mentre sullo sfondo emergono Capo Zafferano e le Madonie, appena percettibili oltre il golfo. Una prospettiva insolita che trasforma un paesaggio familiare in una figura nascosta tra luce, distanza e immaginazione.<br />

From the rocky shoreline of Via Piano di Gallo, during the quiet evening hours, Monte Pellegrino reveals an unexpected silhouette. Its profile resembles a large dog resting beside the sea, with its head and ears facing left and its hind legs gathered on the right.<br />
<br />
At the foot of the mountain lie Addaura and Valdesi, while Capo Zafferano and the Madonie Mountains appear faintly in the distance beyond the bay. A familiar landscape seen from an unusual perspective, where geography and imagination seem to meet.<br />

Depuis le rivage rocheux de Via Piano di Gallo, aux heures paisibles du soir, le Monte Pellegrino dévoile une silhouette inattendue. Son profil évoque celui d'un grand chien couché au bord de la mer, la tête tournée vers la gauche et les pattes arrière repliées à droite.<br />
<br />
Au pied de la montagne s'étendent Addaura et Valdesi, tandis qu'au loin se dessinent le Capo Zafferano et les Madonies. Une perspective singulière qui transforme un paysage familier en une figure cachée entre lumière, distance et imagination.<br />

<p>Somehow, they're still going. Shoreline, as I discovered on my first 'proper' Scarborough trip, do a bit more than just running open-topper services, which requires the use of a wide variety of vehicles. A lot of that appears to be school contracts, some using coaches, some using closed-top double-deckers, all rather a motley assortment... this Van Hool-bodied Scania has likely either just got back from Filey or has emerged from the Shoreline depot to work <i>something.</i> I'm not sure their ticket machines are set up right.<br />
<br />
Seen wearing a private plate that, in combination with the flipdot display, makes the coach look <i>older</i> than it really is to the untrained eye is Shoreline Travel's R400 SSB, a 2001 Scania K124 Van Hool Alizee T9 new to Durham Travel Services as National Express coach NK51 ORN, gaining registrations 1760 VC and V40 JCK with subsequent owners, is seen approaching a bus stand outside Scarborough railway station for... something.</p>

<p>A classic, weathered 1959 Chevrolet parked along the nostalgic, time-capsule storefronts of historic Erie Street in Lowell (Bisbee), Arizona. Complete with a vintage Arizona license plate, a patinaed body, and iconic retro signs like Gulf and Sprouse in the background, this scene captures the golden age of American mid-century road trips and automotive heritage.</p>

<p>What a nice way to wrap up our visit to Singapore. We stayed longer than planned due to a medical emergency but we made the most of it. On this evening we took a boat cruise around the Marina Bay harbor. It was a lovely cruise - I think there were only about 6 other passengers on board, so we could easily walk around the deck. We also caught the light show around the Marina Bay Sands hotel - definitely pretty cool!</p>

<p>When we travel we like to check out the local street art. Singapore is different in that most street art are based on historical or cultural themes. Different, but fascinating.</p>
