Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who called it Londinium.London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its square-mile mediaeval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, the name London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms the London region and the Greater London administrative area,[ governed by the elected Mayor of London and the London Assembly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London London City Blues London City Blues London City Blues Recent Updated: 1 year ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] City Light Stream Tags: city   uk   blue   light   urban   london   art   colors   stream   cityscape   bigben   lightstream   saariysqualitypictures   bestcapturesaoi    Please don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved TWITTER | WWW.DAVIDGUTIERREZ.CO.UK | SAATCHI ONLINE | YOUTUBE | FACEBOOK | REDBUBBLE London | Architecture | Night Photography City Light Stream Recent Updated: 1 year ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] Gotham City Tags: city   uk   fiction   light   sky   urban   reflection   london   tower   art   colors   skyline   architecture   skyscraper   comic   cityscape   atmosphere   story   batman   gotham   frankmiller    Please don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved TWITTER | WWW.DAVIDGUTIERREZ.CO.UK | SAATCHI ONLINE | YOUTUBE | FACEBOOK | REDBUBBLE London | Architecture | Night Photography Gotham City Recent Updated: 1 year ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] City Hall London Tags: county   city   uk   bridge   england   house   abstract   london   tower   art   geometric   lines   thames   architecture   modern   river   lens   spiral   hall   nikon   open   angle   cityhall   interior   curves   wide   johnson   shapes   symmetry   southbank   staircase   gb   boris   28   nikkor   curve   cityoflondon   morelondon   upshot   cityhalllondon   londonassembly   londonphotography   d700   1424mm    Interior of City Hall London Recent Updated: 1 year ago - Created by vulture labs - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - vulture labs City map Tags: city   blue   sea   norway   forest   pencils   town   map   handmade   fake   karte   fantasy   cartography   fjord    hand made fantasy map.

It is the 15th most populous municipality in the European Union. The urban area of Valencia extends beyond the administrative city limits with a population of between 1,175,000[2] and 1,564,145.[3] Between 1,705,742[4][5][6] and 2,300,000[7] people live in the Valencia metropolitan area. The climate for business improved markedly in Valencia during the recent period of rapid economic growth in Spain with concurrent development and expansion of telecommunications and transport. Valencia is the 29th fastest improving European city[8] and its influences in commerce, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the gamma world's centers.[9] Port of Valencia is the 5th busiest container port in Europe and largest on the Mediterranean Sea, with a trade volume of 4.21 million TEU's.[10] Valencia was founded as a Roman colony in 138 BC. The city is situated on the banks of the Turia, on the east coast of the Iberian peninsula, fronting the Gulf of Valencia of Mediterranean Sea. Its historic center is one of the largest in Spain, with approximately 169 acres;[11] this heritage of ancient monuments, diverse scenic sites and cultural attractions makes Valencia one of the country's most popular tourist destinations for Spaniards and world travelers alike. Among its most representative monuments are Valencia Cathedral, Torres de Serranos, Torres de Cuart and Llotja de la Seda (declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996), and the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències (City of Arts and Sciences), an entertainment-based cultural and architectural complex designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela.[12] The Museu de Belles Arts de València houses a large collection of paintings from the 14th-18th centuries, including works by Velázquez, El Greco, and Goya, also an important series of engravings by Piranesi.[13] The Institut Valencià d'Art Modern (Valencian Institute of Modern Art) offers both permanent collections and temporary exhibitions of contemporary art and photography.[14] Valencia is integrated into an industrial area on the Costa del Azahar (Orange Blossom Coast). Its main festival, the Falles, is known worldwide, while the traditional Spanish dish, paella, originated here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valencia,_Spain Architecture The City of Arts and Sciences (Valencian: Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències, Spanish: Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias) is an entertainment-based cultural and architectural complex in the city of Valencia, Spain. It is the most important modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia. The City of Arts and Sciences is situated at the end of the former riverbed of the river Turia, which was drained and rerouted after a catastrophic flood in 1957. The old riverbed was turned into a picturesque sunken park. Designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, the project underwent the first stages of construction in July 1996 and the finished "city" was inaugurated April 16, 1998 with the opening of L'Hemisfèric. The last great component of the City of Arts and Sciences, El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia, was presented on October 9, 2005, Valencian Community Day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciutat_de_les_Arts_i_les_Ci%C3%A8ncies Valencia City of Arts and Sciences Recent Updated: 1 year ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] Fantasy city Tags: city   town   map   handmade   norderney   fantasy   cartography   veere   terp   wierde   formerum   warft    Hand drawn fantasy city. I design towns and cities that have grown over centuries - they aren't complete new-built places, but 'ever existed places now being drawn'. This particular city is actually more than one: -the island's capital Veere (town; west). Originally it was a village but the spa (Kurhaus), sanatorium, beach resort and casino made Formerum grow. -a real city Veere (east). The city never expanded as its neighbour has been important since the 18th century. -a radial village on a manmade hill called a wierde or terp, which is very typical for Northern Netherlands and Germany, as the sea submerges the surrounding land at spring-tides (southeast of Veere, near the ferry dock) -a normal village on the peninsula, seperated by mud-lands. The town network has been built on the western edge of a Waddeneiland (special type of island in mud-lands in Holland, Germany and Denmark). An shallow inlet, only at high tide filled, separates the northern dunes and the southern polders. The map has been inspired on(?) the Wadden Islands, in particular the German isles of Norderney, Borkum and Sylt. In past I made up the names by myself, but I ran out of names, so I borrowed Veere's and Formerum's name.

What’s not immediately obvious until one visits Denver is that the city itself is incredibly flat. Denver was essentially built where the American plains encounter the Rocky Mountains. It is from the Rockies that one can see how level the city is. From its geographic location, many opine that Denver is gigantic city located in the middle of. . .well. . .nowhere. In spite of its location, Denver is by no means an insignificant city. Denver is the 26th largest city in the USA, and one of the three headquarters of the U.S. MInt. The Denver branch of the Mint is the single largest producer of coins in the world. The city also has a home team for every major sport in the nation (Football: Denver Broncos; Baseball: Colorado Rockies; Basketball; Denver Nuggets; and Hockey: Colorado Avalanche). Denver also has the largest city park system in the nation with 205 parks within city limits and 20,000 acres of parks in Rocky Mountains. Also, a very unknown fact about Denver is that it has 300+ days of sunshine a year, exceeding both San Diego and Miami. (In terms of weather alone, it is the opposite of my current residence of Seattle)! I lived and worked in Denver for three years while attending graduate school at the University of Denver, located a few miles south of downtown. Alas, Denver is another American city that was home during a period of my life. TiA International Photography is obliged to portray the city proudly! Have a great weekend, friends.

The city is situated on two rivers, on of them being an affluent, ending in the other. It's drawn as a city as it could have grown in multiple centuries: city center, former bastions, station close to the river side, apparment buildings from the 70s and newer neighbourhoods surrounding the city. In a word: a very European city. Why it is called Raalte? Well, I just like place names ending on -e and after having made up twenty of them, I started to run out of own names, so started using real place names.

The docks were formerly part of the Port of London, at one time the world's largest port. They have now been redeveloped principally for commercial and residential use. The name London Docklands was used for the first time in a government report on redevelopment plans in 1971 but has since become virtually universally adopted. It created conflict between the new and old communities of the London Docklands. Over the past 20 years, the population of the Docklands has more than doubled and the area has become both a major business centre and an increasingly acceptable area to live. Transport links have improved significantly, with the Isle of Dogs gaining a tube connection via the Jubilee Line Extension (opened 1999) and the DLR being extended to Beckton, Lewisham, London City Airport, North Woolwich and Stratford. Canary Wharf has become one of Europe's biggest clusters of skyscrapers and a direct challenge to the financial dominance of the City. Although most of the old Dockland wharves and warehouses have been demolished, some have been restored and converted into flats. Most of the docks themselves have survived and are now used as marinas or watersports centres (the major exception being the Surrey Commercial Docks, now largely filled in). Although large ships can - and occasionally still do - visit the old docks, all of the commercial traffic has moved down-river. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Docklands City of Art and Industrial in London Night Recent Updated: 2 years ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] City Center (& the Cosmopolitan) - Las Vegas Tags: world   city   las   vegas   cosmopolitan   dubai   crystals   bank   center   veer   gucci   international   anthony   mandarin   helmut   resorts   mgm   aria   deutsche   assad   jahn   harmon   vdara   carleo   orieantal   jimmurren    Construction on this $11 billion project, the largest privately financed development in the United States, began in June of 2006 (at the same time New Orleans was trying simply to rebuild following Hurricane Katrina....)

Read about it here The Steve Miller Band is a US rock band formed in 1967 in San Francisco. Familiar tracks include 'The Joker', 'Jet Airliner' and the 1982 hit 'Abracadabra'. This is one of my favourite tracks however, very clever lyrics. El Salvador & Afghanistan ('ask those people about the macho plan...') are name checked in the song reflecting some cynicism of US foreign policy at the time, early 1980's. The album 'Circle of love' contains a 16 minutes version of this track (taking up the whole of a side of vinyl. Hear it here. ------------------------ The Beetham Tower, completed 2007 is a landmark 47-storey residential skyscraper in Manchester city centre, England. Certain a macho statement for the city and at 168 metres is the highest outside of London. It consists of a (four star) Hilton Hotel up to level 23 and apartments from level 25 up to the triplex penthouse on level 47. The tower lies on Deansgate and has two postal addresses, with the apartments falling under 301 Deansgate and the hotel under 303 Deansgate. The architect, Ian Simpson, bought and resides in the top floor penthouse, which is the highest living space in Britain. It cost him £3 million. The residence occupies the top two storeys of the building and apparently features a semi-indoors garden containing 21 four-metre high olive, lemon and oak trees, shipped from Italy, and placed before the roof was built. During the installation of the glass and steel 'blade' architectural feature on the roof, a strange noise problem emerged. People reported that the building "whistles" (more like an intermittent hum) in windy weather. The sound is close to standard musical C (approximately 262 Hertz); some say it is like a "UFO landing" in sci-fi films. The noise also affected the production of local soap opera, Coronation Street with producers having to create extra background noise as the tower is close to the show's set. A evacuation occurred in September 2007 when a fire was suspected. BBC Report here. Fortunately it did not become a real life towering inferno.

The current area of Greater London has incorporated areas that were once part of the counties of Middlesex, Kent, Surrey, Essex and Hertfordshire. London's status as the capital of England, and later the United Kingdom, has never been granted or confirmed officially—by statute or in written form. Its position was formed through constitutional convention, making its status as de facto capital a part of the UK's unwritten constitution. The capital of England was moved to London from Winchester as the Palace of Westminster developed in the 12th and 13th centuries to become the permanent location of the royal court, and thus the political capital of the nation.More recently, Greater London has been defined as a region of England and in this context known as London Greater London covers an area of 1,579 square kilometres (610 sq mi), an area which had a population of 7,172,036 in 2001 and a population density of 4,542 people per square kilometre. A larger area, referred to as the London Metropolitan Region or the London Metropolitan Agglomeration covers an area of 8,382 square kilometres (3,236 sq mi) has a population of 12,653,500 and a population density of 1,510 people per square kilometre.[87] Modern London stands athwart the Thames, its primary geographical feature, a navigable river which crosses the city from the south-west to the east. The Thames Valley is a floodplain surrounded by gently rolling hills including Parliament Hill, Addington Hills, and Primrose Hill. The Thames was once a much broader, shallower river with extensive marshlands; at high tide, its shores reached five times their present width. Since the Victorian era the Thames has been extensively embanked, and many of its London tributaries now flow underground. The Thames is a tidal river, and London is vulnerable to flooding. The threat has increased over time due to a slow but continuous rise in high water level by the slow 'tilting' of Britain (up in the north and down in the south) caused by post-glacial rebound. In 1974, a decade of work began on the construction of the Thames Barrier across the Thames at Woolwich to deal with this threat. While the barrier is expected to function as designed until roughly 2070, concepts for its future enlargement or redesign are already being discussed en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London London Night City لندن লন্ডন ロンドン 伦敦 倫敦 Recent Updated: 2 years ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] City Night Tags: city   london   night    Please don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved TWITTER | WWW.DAVIDGUTIERREZ.CO.UK | SAATCHI ONLINE | YOUTUBE | FACEBOOK | REDBUBBLE London | Architecture | Night Photography City Night Recent Updated: 2 years ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] London City Night Drive Tags: city   blue   sky   urban   london   car   night   mercedes   drive   design   mercedesbenz   motor   merc   worldcars    Please don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved London City Night Drive Recent Updated: 2 years ago - Created by gutierrezcars - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - gutierrezcars We Build This City...

It is located in Southwark, stands on the south bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge. Designed by Norman Foster, it opened in July 2002. The building has an unusual bulbous shape, intended to reduce its surface area and thus improve energy efficiency. It has been compared variously to Darth Vader's helmet,[citation needed] a misshapen egg, a woodlouse[citation needed] and a motorcycle helmet.[citation needed] Former mayor Ken Livingstone referred to it as a "glass testicle",[1][2] while the present mayor, Boris Johnson, has referred to it as "The Glass Gonad"[3] and more politely as "The Onion".[citation needed] Its designers reportedly saw the building as a giant sphere hanging over the Thames, but opted for a more conventionally rooted building instead. It has no front or back in conventional terms but derives its shape from a modified sphere. City Hall was constructed on a site formerly occupied by wharves serving the Pool of London . The building does not belong to the GLA but is leased under a 25-year rent. It forms part of a larger development called More London, including offices and shops. Next to City Hall is a sunken amphitheatre called The Scoop, which is used in the summer months for open-air performances; it is not, however, part of the GLA's jurisdiction. The Scoop and surrounding landscape were designed by Townshend Landscape Architects. On the top floor is a viewing platform that almost completely surrounds the building, and is open to the public on particular open house days.A 500-metre (1,640 ft) helical walkway, reminiscent of that in New York's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, ascends the full height of the building. At the top of the ten-story building is an exhibition and meeting space called "London's Living Room", with an open viewing deck which is occasionally open to the public. The walkway provides views of the interior of the building, and is intended to symbolise transparency; a similar device was used by Foster in his design for the rebuilt Reichstag (parliament) in Germany. In 2006 it was announced that solar photovoltaic cells would be fitted to the building by the London Climate Change Agency.[4] Despite the name, City Hall is neither located in nor does it serve a city (as recognised by English constitutional law), often adding to the confusion of Greater London with the City of London, whose headquarters is in the Guildhall, north of the Thames. The predecessors of the Greater London Authority, namely the Greater London Council and the London County Council, had their headquarters at County Hall, upstream on the South Bank. Although County Hall's old council chamber is still intact, the building is unavailable for use by the GLA due to the building's conversion into, among other things, a luxury hotel, amusement arcade and aquarium. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Hall_(London) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London wikitravel.org/en/London www.londontown.com/ <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidgutierrez/3896491019/#/photos/davidgutierrez ========================================================================== London City Hall Architecture - Circles of Light Recent Updated: 2 years ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] city sunrise Tags: california   city   morning   light   sun   detail   fog   modern   sunrise   landscape   concrete   gold   golden   san   francisco   paradise   mood   glow   cityscape   dynamic   expression   steel   air   jazz   romance   heat   rays   transparent   today   thermal   jazzy   interpret   heated   mooda    san francisco waking in a unique subtle golden ray sunrise over the city landscape try with smooth jazz tunes~ kcsm.org/jazz91/listen.php Recent Updated: 2 years ago - Created by louie imaging - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - louie imaging London City Tags: city   london   cityscapes   cites    Please don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved TWITTER | WWW.DAVIDGUTIERREZ.CO.UK | SAATCHI ONLINE | YOUTUBE | FACEBOOK | REDBUBBLE London | Architecture | Night Photography London City Recent Updated: 3 years ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] City Hall Station Ca 1904 Tags: nyc   bw   cityhallsubwaystation   shorpy   vintagenycphotos   cityhallvintageglassnegative    New York circa 1904. "City Hall subway station." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. Detailed History of Station: www.columbia.edu/~brennan/abandoned/cityirt.html Two good reasons for closing the station Submitted by Max on Fri, 10/15/2010 - 9:57pm. Conventional rail car axles have no differential gearing to accommodate the longer distance the wheels on the outside of a curve have to travel compared to the shorter distance on the inside of the curve. Consequently travel on any curve involves a deal of skidding and steel-on-steel screeching. With brakes applied as the train came to a stop in the enclosed station, the effect must have made quite an impression. There would have been wider gaps for passengers to mind as they crossed from the curved platform onto the floor of a straight car. This is only my speculation on a couple of considerations that may have led the IRT to close the station. Their reasons may have differed altogether. It is a beautiful daylight station.

It is the historic core of London around which the modern conurbation grew and has held city status since time immemorial. The City’s boundaries have remained almost unchanged since the Middle Ages, and it is now only a tiny part of the metropolis of London. It is often referred to as the City or the Square Mile, as it is just over one square mile (1.12 mile² / 2.90 km²)[1] in area. These terms are also often used as metonymies for the United Kingdom's financial services industry, which has historically been based here. In the medieval period, the City was the full extent of London. The term London now refers to a much larger conurbation roughly corresponding to Greater London, a local government area which includes 32 London boroughs as well as the City of London, which is not one of the 32 London boroughs. The local authority for the City, the City of London Corporation, is unique in the United Kingdom, and has some unusual responsibilities for a local authority in Britain, such as being the police authority for the City. It also has responsibilities and ownerships beyond the City's boundaries. The Corporation is headed by the Lord Mayor of the City of London, a separate (and much older) office to the Mayor of London. The City is today a major business and financial centre, ranking on a par with New York City as the leading centre of global finance;[2] in the 19th century, the City served as the world's primary business centre.[3] The City has a resident population of approximately 8,000, but around 340,000 people work there, mainly in the financial services sector. The legal profession form a major component of the western side of the City, in and around the Inns of Court, of which two - the Inner and Middle Temples - fall within the City of London boundary. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London ======================================================================= The Monument stands at the junction of Monument Street and Fish Street Hill in the City of London. It was built between 1671 and 1677 to commemorate the Great Fire of London and to celebrate the rebuilding of the City. The fire began in a baker's house in Pudding Lane on Sunday 2nd September 1666 and finally extinguished on Wednesday 5th September, after destroying the greater part of the City. Although there was little loss of life, the fire brought all activity to a halt, having consumed or severely damaged thousands of houses, hundreds of streets, the City's gates, public buildings, churches and St. Paul's Cathedral. The only buildings to survive in part were those built of stone, like St. Paul's and the Guildhall. As part of the rebuilding, it was decided to erect a permanent memorial of the Great Fire near the place where it began. Sir Christopher Wren, Surveyor General to King Charles II and the architect of St. Paul's Cathedral, and hisfriend and colleague, Dr Robert Hooke, provided a design for a colossal Doric column in the antique tradition. They drew up plans for a column containing a cantilevered stone staircase of 311 steps leading to a viewing platform. This was surmounted by a drum and a copper urn from which flames emerged, symbolising the Great Fire. The Monument, as it came to be called, is 61 metres high (202 feet) - the exact distance between it and the site in Pudding Lane where the fire began. www.themonument.info/history/introduction.asp City of London view from the Monument Recent Updated: 3 years ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] City of London ~ A London Blue Hour ~ Tags: city   uk   blue   england   sky   urban   building   london   colors   architecture   night   skyscraper   buildings   dark   spectacular   geotagged   photography   lights   photo   interestingness   arquitectura   cityscape   darkness   image   you   dusk   sony   centre   perspective   cities   cityscapes   center   front   structure   architectural   explore   thank   nighttime   350   hour   page   londres   architektur   nights   sensational   metropolis   bluehour   alpha   topf100   frontpage   londra   impressive   lloyds   dt   nightfall   cityoflondon   municipality   edifice   cites   londonuk   f4556   100faves   1118mm   sonyalphadt1118mmf4556lens   ~alondonbluehour~   alondonbluehour~   sonyalphadt1118mmf4556   sonyα350dslra350    Please don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved TWITTER | WWW.DAVIDGUTIERREZ.CO.UK | SAATCHI ONLINE | YOUTUBE | FACEBOOK | REDBUBBLE London | Architecture | Night Photography EXPLORE #6, Front Page on the 8th June. Thank you for your comments. My favourite hour in London and my favourite building, the Lloyds... ======================================================================= The blue hour comes from a French expression (l'heure bleue), which refers to twilight, the period each morning and evening where there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. The time is considered special because of the quality of the light at this time of day. The Lloyd's Building (also sometimes known as The Inside-Out Building) is the home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London, and is located at One Lime Street, in the City of London, England. It was designed by architect Richard Rogers and built between 1978 and 1986. Bovis was the management contractor for the scheme.[1] Like the Pompidou Centre (designed by Renzo Piano and Rogers), the building was innovative in having its services such as staircases, lifts, electrical power conduits and water pipes on the outside, leaving an uncluttered space inside. The twelve glass lifts were the first of their kind in the UK. The building consists of three main towers and three service towers around a central, rectangular space. Its focal point is the large Underwriting Room on the ground floor, which houses the famous Lutine Bell. The Underwriting Room (often simply known as 'the Room') is overlooked by galleries, forming a 60 metres (197 ft) high atrium lit naturally through a huge barrel-vaulted glass roof. The first four galleries open onto the atrium space, and are connected by escalators through the middle of the structure. The higher floors are glassed-in, and can only be reached via the outside lifts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd's_Building ======================================================================= The City of London is a geographically small city within Greater London in England. It is the historic core of London around which, along with Southwark and then Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City’s boundaries have remained almost constant since the Middle Ages, and hence it is now only a tiny part of the much larger London metropolis. It is often referred to as the City or the Square Mile, as it is just over one square mile (1.12 mile² / 2.90 km²)[1] in area. These terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom's financial services industry, which is based here. In the medieval period, the City was the full extent of London. The term London now refers to a much larger conurbation containing both the City of London itself, as well as the 32 'London boroughs', constituting Greater London. The City is today a major business and financial centre, ranking on a par with New York City as the leading centre of global finance;[2] in the 19th Century, the City served as the world's primary business centre.[3] The City has a resident population of under 10,000, whilst it employs 340,000 professional workers, mainly in the financial sector, making the area's transport system extremely busy during peak times. The City is not one of the 32 London boroughs. It is governed by the City of London Corporation, which has some unusual responsibilities for a local authority, such as being the police authority for the City. It also has responsibilities and ownerships beyond the City's boundaries. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London ================================================================================= When The Blue Hour Comes by Joan Osborne, City of London ~ A London Blue Hour ~ Recent Updated: 3 years ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] City Tags: city    City Please don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved TWITTER | WWW.DAVIDGUTIERREZ.CO.UK | SAATCHI ONLINE | YOUTUBE | FACEBOOK | REDBUBBLE London Set | Architecture Set | Night Set City Recent Updated: 3 years ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] City of Bilbao 711 Anniversary Tags: city   urban   architecture   modernart   bilbao   basque   guggenheimmuseum   bayofbiscay   euskaltzaindia   ringexcellence   711aniversario    Please don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved TWITTER | WWW.DAVIDGUTIERREZ.CO.UK | SAATCHI ONLINE | YOUTUBE | FACEBOOK | REDBUBBLE London | Architecture | Night Photography | Guggenheim | Bilbao Set The official name of the city is Bilbao, as known in most languages of the world. Euskaltzaindia, the official regulatory institution of the Basque language, agreed that between the two possible names existing in Basque, Bilbao and Bilbo, that the historical name in Basque is Bilbo, while keeping the officialty of the first one. Although the term Bilbo does not appear on old documents, in the play The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare, there is a reference of swords presumably made of Biscayan iron to which he calls "bilboes", which might suggest that it is a word used since at least the sixteenth century. Since the deindustrialization process started in the 1990s, many of the former industrial areas are being transformed into modern public and private spaces designed by several of the world's most renowed architects and artists. The main example is the Guggenheim Museum, located in what was an old dock and wood warehouse. The building, designed by Frank Gehry and inaugurated in October 1997, is considered among architecture experts as one of the most important structures of the last 30 years, and a masterpiece by itself. The museum houses part of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation modern art collection. Another example is the Alhóndiga, a wine warehouse built in 1909 and completely redesigned in 2010 by French designer Philippe Starck into a multi-purpose venue that consist of a cinema multiplex, a fitness centre, a library, and a restaurant, among other spaces. The Abandoibarra area is also being renovated, and it features not only the Guggenheim Museum, but also Arata Isozaki's tower complex, the Euskalduna Conference Centre and Concert Hall and the Iberdrola Tower, designed by Argentine architect César Pelli and that will be, upon completion in 2011, the Basque Country's tallest skyscraper with 165 metres (541 ft) high. Zorrozaurre is the next area to be redeveloped, following a 2007 master plan designed by Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. This current peninsula will be transformed into an 500,000 m2 (5,400,000 sq ft) island and will feature residential and commercial buildings, as well as the new BBK seat. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilbao City of Bilbao 711 Anniversary Recent Updated: 3 years ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] Maddaloni, my City ... by Night Tags: longexposure   italy   panorama   night   canon   spectacular   landscape   interestingness   italia   300d   cityscape   campania   nightscape   canon300d   kris   napoli   naples   nightview   paesaggio   mycity   lamiacittà   2011   maddaloni   napule   krisdecurtis   viewfromstmichael   vistadasanmichele   mygearandmepremium   mygearandmebronze   mygearandmesilver   mygearandmegold   mygearandmeplatinum   mygearandmediamond   dblringexcellence   tplringexcellence    Panoramic view by night of the city from St. Michael mount.

My kind of city will fill up the sky with towers..., some of the tall buildings in the city of London. ======================================================================= London (pronunciation (help·info); IPA: /ˈlʌndən/) is the capital and largest urban area of both England and the United Kingdom. An important settlement for two millennia, London's history goes back to its founding by the Romans. Since its foundation, London has been part of many movements and phenomena throughout history, including the English Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and the Gothic Revival. The city's core, the ancient City of London, still retains its limited medieval boundaries; but since at least the 19th century, the name "London" has also referred to the whole metropolis that has developed around it. Today the bulk of this conurbation forms the London region of England and the Greater London administrative area, with its own elected mayor and assembly. London is one of the world's leading business, financial and cultural centres and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion and the arts contribute to its status as a major global city.Central London is the headquarters of more than half of the UK's top 100 listed companies (the FTSE 100) and over 100 of Europe's 500 largest companies. The city is a major tourist destination both for domestic and overseas visitors, with annual expenditure by tourists of around £15 billion. Greater London contains four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; the historic settlement of Greenwich; the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; and the site comprising the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey and St. Margaret's Church. London's population draws from a wide range of peoples, cultures, and religions, and over 300 languages are spoken within the city.As of 2006, it had an official population of 7,512,400 within the boundaries of Greater London and is the most populous municipality in the European Union. As of 2001, the Greater London Urban Area had a population of 8,278,251 and the metropolitan area is estimated to have a total population of between 12 and 14 million. The public transport network, administered by Transport for London, is one of the most extensive in the world, and Heathrow Airport is the busiest airport in the world for international traffic. The surrounding East London area saw much of London's early industrial development; now, brownfield sites throughout the area are being redeveloped as part of the Thames Gateway including the London Riverside and Lower Lea Valley, which is being developed into the Olympic Park for the 2012 Olympics. London has hosted the Summer Olympics twice, in 1908 and 1948. In July 2005 London was chosen to host the Games in 2012, which will make it the first city in the world to host the Summer Olympics three times.

It forms part of the boroughs of Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Greenwich. The docks were formerly part of the Port of London, at one time the world's largest port. They have now been redeveloped principally for commercial and residential use. The name London Docklands was used for the first time in a government report on redevelopment plans in 1971 but has since become virtually universally adopted. It also created conflict between the new and old communities of the London Docklands. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Docklands The Ontario Tower is a luxury high-rise residential development in London's Docklands. It was built by the Ballymore construction company, as part of a wider scheme in New Providence Wharf to provide new executive housing to meet changing demand in the Docklands area. 'Ontario' was designed by the architects who created landmarks such as Chicago's Willis Tower. The Ontario Tower is a distinct landmark of the London Skyline with its blue LED rimmed elliptical top. The 29-storey project was completed in the Autumn of 2007, and is the tallest building in London solely designed for executive residential use, at 104 metres tall. It is expected to be joined by a much taller neighbour (Quebec Tower) directly next to it. Carrara Marble was used in the majority of apartment bathrooms throughout the development; The Natural Stone Depot Ltd, of London, were contracted to carry out this work. Ontrario Tower is a neighbour of the Radisson Edwardian Hotel. Hence, the residents of the tower can enjoy some of the hotel's facilities such as room service, business centre and spa. The hotel's gym and spa is located in the first floor of Ontario Tower. London is a leading global city, with its strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence. It is the world's largest financial centre alongside New York,[11][12][13] has the largest city GDP in Europe[14] and is home to the headquarters of more than 100 of Europe's 500 largest companies.[15] It is the most visited city in the world.[16] London's five international airports make its airspace the busiest of any urban centre worldwide[17] and London Heathrow is the world's busiest airport by number of international passengers.[18] London's 43 universities form the largest concentration of higher education in Europe.[19] In 2012 London will become the first city to host the Summer Olympics three times en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario_Tower en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London wikitravel.org/en/London www.londontown.com/ City of London : A Night in Docklands Recent Updated: 4 years ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] City of London ~ Its been a Hard Day's Work...~ Tags: city   uk   blue   england   sky   people   urban   building   london   tower   monument   architecture   clouds   skyscraper   work   buildings   spectacular   geotagged   photography   photo   arquitectura   cityscape   image   sony   centre   perspective   cities   cityscapes   center   structure   architectural   business   350   londres   architektur   sensational   metropolis   alpha   londra   impressive   lloyds   tower42   liverpoolstreet   dt   limestreet   aviva   cityoflondon   lloydsbuilding   municipality   edifice   cites   financialcentre   squaremile   f4556   1118mm   itsbeenaharddayswork   sonyalphadt1118mmf4556   sonyα350dslra350    Please don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved TWITTER | WWW.DAVIDGUTIERREZ.CO.UK | SAATCHI ONLINE | YOUTUBE | FACEBOOK | REDBUBBLE London | Architecture | Night Photography It was a nice summer day in the City, so everyone was happy to leave work...;-} ======================================================================= The City of London is a geographically small city within Greater London in England. It is the historic core of London around which, along with Southwark and then Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City’s boundaries have remained almost constant since the Middle Ages, and hence it is now only a tiny part of the much larger London metropolis. It is often referred to as the City or the Square Mile, as it is just over one square mile (1.12 mile² / 2.90 km²)[1] in area. These terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom's financial services industry, which is based here. In the medieval period, the City was the full extent of London. The term London now refers to a much larger conurbation containing both the City of London itself, as well as the 32 'London boroughs', constituting Greater London. The City is today a major business and financial centre, ranking on a par with New York City as the leading centre of global finance;[2] in the 19th Century, the City served as the world's primary business centre.[3] The City has a resident population of under 10,000, whilst it employs 340,000 professional workers, mainly in the financial sector, making the area's transport system extremely busy during peak times. The City is not one of the 32 London boroughs. It is governed by the City of London Corporation, which has some unusual responsibilities for a local authority, such as being the police authority for the City. It also has responsibilities and ownerships beyond the City's boundaries. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London ======================================================================= City of London ~ Its been a Hard Day's Work...~ Recent Updated: 4 years ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] London City: The Calm before the Storm 2 Tags: city   bridge   people   urban   storm   bus   london   cars   westminster   thames   clouds   river   spectacular   geotagged   photo   arquitectura   cityscape   image   sony   centre   cities   cityscapes   bridges   center   350   londres   sensational   metropolis   alpha   londra   impressive   dt   municipality   cites   f4556   1118mm   sonyalphadt1118mmf4556   sonyα350dslra350    Please don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved TWITTER | WWW.DAVIDGUTIERREZ.CO.UK | SAATCHI ONLINE | YOUTUBE | FACEBOOK | REDBUBBLE London | Architecture | Night Photography Some moody clouds over the London Westminster Bridge, just before a rain fall... ======================================================================= Westminster Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over the River Thames between Westminster, Middlesex bank, and Lambeth, Surrey bank in what is now Greater London, England. For over 600 years, the nearest bridge to London Bridge was at Kingston. Proposals for a bridge at Westminster had been made as early as 1664. These were opposed by the Corporation of London and the watermen. Despite further opposition in 1722 and after a new timber bridge was built at Putney in 1729, the scheme received parliamentary approval in 1736. Financed by private capital, lotteries and grants, Westminster Bridge, designed by the Swiss architect Charles Labelye, was built between 1739-1750. The City of London responded to Westminster Bridge by removing the buildings on London Bridge and widening it in 1760-63. The City also commenced work on the Blackfriars Bridge, which opened in 1769. Other bridges from that time include Kew Bridge (1759), Battersea Bridge (1773), and Richmond Bridge (1777). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Bridge A city is a relatively large and permanent settlement.[1][2] Although there is no agreement on how a city is distinguished from a town within general English language meanings, many cities have a particular administrative, legal, or historical status based on local law. For example, an article of incorporation approved by the local state legislature distinguishes a city government from a town in Massachusetts. In the United Kingdom and parts of the Commonwealth of Nations, a city is traditionally a settlement with a royal charter.[1] Historically, in Europe, a city was understood to be an urban settlement with a cathedral. Cities generally have advanced systems for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing, and transportation. The concentration of development greatly facilitates interaction between people and businesses, benefiting both parties in the process. A big city or metropolis usually has associated suburbs and exurbs. Such cities are usually associated with metropolitan areas and urban areas, creating numerous business commuters traveling to urban centers of employment. Once a city expands far enough to reach another city, this region can be deemed a conurbation or megalopolis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City London City: The Calm before the Storm Recent Updated: 4 years ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] London City: The Calm before the Storm Tags: city   bridge   people   urban   storm   london   cars   beautiful   westminster   clouds   wonderful   londonbridge   spectacular   geotagged   photo   fantastic   arquitectura   moody   cityscape   traffic   image   cloudy   sony   centre   cities   cityscapes   bridges   dramatic   center   before   calm   350   londres   sensational   metropolis   alpha   riverthames   londra   atmospheric   impressive   dt   londonmarathon   westminsterbridge   cityoflondon   londonbus   municipality   the   cites   f4556   1118mm   londonstorm   composeduponwestminsterbridge   sonyalphadt1118mmf4556   somethinggrey   sciencefictionfilm28dayslater   foottrafficbridge   sonyα350dslra350    Please don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved TWITTER | WWW.DAVIDGUTIERREZ.CO.UK | SAATCHI ONLINE | YOUTUBE | FACEBOOK | REDBUBBLE London | Architecture | Night Photography Some moody clouds over the London Westminster Bridge, just before a rain fall... ======================================================================= Westminster Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over the River Thames between Westminster, Middlesex bank, and Lambeth, Surrey bank in what is now Greater London, England.

In popular culture In the 2002 science fiction film 28 Days Later, the protagonist awakes from a coma to find London deserted, and walks over the Westminster Bridge whilst looking for people. Westminster Bridge is the start and finish point for the Bridges Handicap Race, a traditional London running race. William Wordsworth wrote the sonnet Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802. In the British Science Fiction series Doctor Who, Westminster Bridge has been used for various location shots. It was used originally in 1964 in the serial The Dalek Invasion of Earth which depicts the structure as desolate and deserted. Several Daleks are seen gliding over the bridge and the adjoining Albert Embankment. The location was then re-used by the production team when the series was revived in 2005 where the ninth doctor and Rose Tyler run across the bridge in the episode Rose. It is also the name of a track in the Doctor Who Soundtrack album. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Bridge www.flickr.com/photos/davidgutierrez/4140295041/#/photos/...

Português A Prefeitura de Milwaukee foi inaugurada em 1895, nesta época, a torre com 108m de altura era a terceira estrura mais alta da America, atrás apenas do Monumento à Washington e a Prefeitura de Filadelfia, incompleta àquela época. Este edficio foi projetado pelo arquiteto Henry Koch em estilo Renascentista alemão. Graças a massiva imigração alemã para Milwaukee, muito dos edficios ao redor da prefeitura copiaram o seu estilo. A prefeitura foi adicionada ao registro de locais históricos em 1973 e declarada patrimonio histórico nacional em 2005. A prefeitura é conhecida também por ter abrigado o governo socialista mais amplo e bem sucedido da América, com a eleição de Emil Seidel em 1910. A cidade de Milwaukee foi governada por socialistas de 1910 até 1960. English: The Milwaukee City Hall was finished in 1895, at which time its bell tower, at 353 feet (108 m), was the third tallest structure in the nation, behind the Washington Monument and the then-incomplete Philadelphia City Hall. Milwaukee City Hall was designed by architect Henry Koch in the German Renaissance Revival style, due to Milwaukee's historic German immigrant population; many of the surrounding buildings mirror this design. City Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005. City Hall is notable as the scene of the largest Socialist victory ever registered in an American city, when in 1910 Emil Seidel and a majority Socialist Common Council swept into office. Although the Socialist majority on the Common Council was short-lived, the city was led by Socialist mayors from 1916 to 1960.

The glow of lights was created with a technique known as the long exposure photograhy. This picture was created for my decorative friend epSos.de and can be used for free, if you link epSos.de as the original author of the image. The wet mosaic of the street was wet from rain so that the reflections of LED light bulbs from cheap hotels were glowing even more at night than usual lighting technology. The tropical palms decorate the streets of Puerto Cruz de Tenerife in addition to the warm outdoor lighting that is used to create a romantic atmosphere in the center of the city at night.

Small LED town lighting created a perfect atmosphere to go out and photograph that evening street lights. The warm glow of the city night lights welcomed the soul to rest for a while, so that it was possible to create this long exposure photo. The charming, romantic and warm colors of this urban scene is one perfect example of how the artificial town lighting changes the natural night light in the city.

It is located in Southwark, stands on the south bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge. Designed by Norman Foster, it opened in July 2002. The building has an unusual bulbous shape, intended to reduce its surface area and thus improve energy efficiency. It has been compared variously to Darth Vader's helmet, a misshapen egg, a human scrotum, a woodlouse or a motorcycle helmet. Former mayor Ken Livingstone referred to it as a "glass testicle". The new mayor, Boris Johnson, has referred to it more politely as 'The Onion'. Its designers reportedly saw the building as a giant sphere hanging over the Thames, but opted for a more conventionally rooted building instead. It has no front or back on conventional terms but derives its shape from a modified sphere. City Hall was constructed on a site formerly occupied by wharves serving the Pool of London. The building does not belong to the GLA but is leased under a 25-year rent. It forms part of a larger development called More London, including offices and shops. Next to City Hall is a sunken amphitheatre called The Scoop, which is used in the summer months for open-air performances; it is not, however, part of the GLA's jurisdiction. The Scoop and surrounding landscape were designed by Townshend Landscape Architects. A 500-metre (1,640 ft) helical walkway, reminiscent of that in New York's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, ascends the full height of the building. At the top of the ten-story building is an exhibition and meeting space called "London's Living Room", with an open viewing deck which is occasionally open to the public. The walkway provides views of the interior of the building, and is intended to symbolise transparency; a similar device was used by Foster in his design for the rebuilt Reichstag (parliament) in Germany. In 2006 it was announced that solar photovoltaic cells would be fitted to the building by the London Climate Change Agency. Despite the name, City Hall is neither located in nor does it serve a city (as recognised by English constitutional law), often adding to the confusion of Greater London with the City of London, whose headquarters is in the Guildhall, north of the Thames. The predecessors of the Greater London Authority, namely the Greater London Council and the London County Council, had their headquarters at County Hall, upstream on the South Bank. Although County Hall's old council chamber is still intact, the building is unavailable for use by the GLA due to the building's conversion into, among other things, a luxury hotel, amusement arcade and aquarium. The nearest London Underground station is London Bridge. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Hall_(London) Golden City Hall... in London at Night Please don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission. © All rights reserved Recent Updated: 4 years ago - Created by david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - david gutierrez [ www.davidgutierrez.co.uk ] City Inspection Tags: christmas   city   holiday   baking   bulldog   christmascookies   tistheseason   bej   mywinners   impressedbeauty   theperfectphotograher   goldstaraward   ilovemypics   rubyphotographer    12-15-2008 What is a person suppose to do when a blizzard is raging outside?

They are less tempting if they are frozen solid.

Life goes by so fast You only want to do what you think is right. Close your eyes and then it's past; Story of my life I went downtown to look for a job I had no training, no experience to speak of. I looked at the holes in my jeans And turned and headed back. Good times come and good times go, I only wish the good times would last a little longer. I think about the good times we had And why they had to end. So I sit at the edge of my bed I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw love song. Thinkin' 'bout what you're doin' now And when you're comin' back. Life goes by so fast You only want to do what you think is right.

In fact, it was originally named 'The Arrow Thrower of the North Star'. Not to be confused with Cupid (due to the arrows) What I really like about the photo is that the top rays of light seem to go behind the structure. Can't be done much justice without seeing in bigger size. p.s. I had to wait for any buses to pass by (to cover the top rays), so sorry to folks who I kept waiting.

The city is a major tourist centre and a leading resort on the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur). It is the historical capital city of the County of Nice. There were settlements in the Nice area approximately 2,000 years ago: the site of Terra Amata shows one of the earliest uses of fire and construction of houses. Nice was founded probably around 350 BC by the Greeks of Massilia (Marseille) and received the name of "Nikaia" in honour of a victory over the neighbouring Ligurians (Nike being the Greek goddess of victory). It soon became one of the busiest trading ports on the Ligurian coast Photo of the Promenade des Anglais ("Walk of the English"), a celebrated promenade along the Mediterranean at Nice Nice is een stad in het zuiden van Frankrijk gelegen aan de Middellandse Zee, tussen Marseille en Genua, met 933.080 inwoners. De stad is een grote toeristische trekpleister en hoofdstad van de Franse Riviera (Côte d'Azur). De naam betekenent overwinningsvol, naar de Griekse godin van de overwinning, Nikè. Al snel werd het een van de drukste handelsplaatsen aan de Ligurische kust.

The hall shown here when taken as a night shot in all its glory. After Belfast was awarded city status by Queen Victoria in 1888 this magnificent building was first planned. . There was much rapid expansion and thriving linen, rope-making, shipbuilding and engineering industries at the time. Architect Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas supervised the start of construction in 1898 with completion in 1906 at a cost of approx £369,000.
