Got to wonder who is paying to use the chargers?
A pay phone bank charger that offers power banks for a £1.99 rental sits on the corner of a bar seat plugged into the wall. The plug sockets are exposed and also have USB ports accessible on them.

Back in October I got a chance to ride on the Wuppertal Schwebebahn, the suspended monorail train. Love the way this travels above the river, feels like flying. #WuppertalSchwebebahn #Wuppertal #Travel #Interrailing
Two train s of the Wuppertal Schwebebahn (A monorail where the train is suspended below the track) pass each other on a large track that is suspended over a winding river. The track is anchored by diagonal pillars on each bank. On the bank the tree leaves are starting to turn brown.A single 2 car train of the Wuppertal Schwebebahn (Suspension monorail) travels over the track that is suspended over a river. On the right bank there are lots of tall building and on the left bank behind the trees what looks like advertising hoarding.A side on view of a two car train of the Wuppertal Schwebebahn passes over the pedestrian square as it pulls into a station building on the left. Many people are walking beneath it and the shopping district extends into the background.A train of the Wuppertal Schwebebahn pulling into a platform of a station. The track running above and an empty space where the train pulls in. A couple of people are visible on the platform.

When I was in Berlin back in October. Love this view.
A view down the broad city street in Berlin known as Karl Marx Allee. This was a Sunday morning so light traffic, a few bicycles visible. and tall buildings line the alley. In the distance the spike of the Berlin TV Tower rises over the centre of the alley.

A photograph of an old style red and cream tram in Prague travelling along a brick lined street passing under an arch of a building along two tracks that almost merge together as there is only room for single file traffic.

If you see this, post an ident.

Yes, those have left the Isle of Wight now (think a heritage railway got them) and now the Island line runs refurbished district line trains. Heres a photo of one of them running in 2019.

Following on from yesterday, not quite a food tip, but loved these rice cakes with miso paste, have wanted to find something similar ever since. This is from a visit to a rural community in Toge. (From a college trip, my tutor had been doing an art project in the village). #Japanuary25d4 #Japanuary
A oblong white rice cakes with miso paste spread over it, on a wide stick in front of a window where the outside is heavy snow.A small pan on the floor with rice cakes being cooked, a small bowl of misoc past and a metal bowl with wooden sticks. Surrounded by several lower body shots of those preparing them.

Looking out over the snow covered mountains at Matsudai, Niigata in 2007. If you look closely you can see the snow covered rice terrace fields #Japanuary25d3 #Japanuary
A large hill covered in deep snow with lots of evergreen trees around the landscape and mountains in the distance. Part of the hill the snow goes down in steps covering the rice terraces.

Still in love with the Now building of Tottenham Court Road since I stumbled on it last year.
A four sided collage of neon pop art of various pop culture things forming a projected tunnel with a small gap at the top, but this is looking up a projected immersive flat screen.A giant game of Tetris with a crowd of people in front of the giant screen. The Tetris blocks are forming four separate towers, and there’s lots of gaps which means no one will be getting a Tetris soon.

Two white small houses on a rocky island in the middle of a narrow body of water taken from a grassy bank with a thick tree line on the other bank. The houses are surrounded by a small stonewall and a jetty is just visible from the left house into the water. 

This is Ynys Gored Goch (Red Weir island) on the Menai strait taken from the Anglesey side. The sea is mostly calm and quite low when the picture was taken, and I think at the time I was the only person on the coastal path.

Taken June 2024.
