Ooooh. A Car Park !

 

For a "Tedious Tuesday" slide, there's possibly a few things of interest here.

The name that you're squinting to read is "Alveston Manor Hotel", and it's still in business in ... Stratford.

The car park has an eclectic selection of classic British motor cars.

But...still dull.

Bonus 

Bonus 2 - Nicely done, The Times.

Crossing The Road

 

It's Tedious Tuesday, so it's time to slow down, relax and ask ourselves... "Uh?  Why did they photograph that?"

Today.... I struggle to say anything interesting about this. 

There are a couple of clues to this being in Austria, possibly Villach, but ... meh.

Bonus - Meanwhile in neighbouring Switzerland, the citizens is compiling a map of soiled underwear. 

Stained Glass Window

 

A very nice stained glass window, I'm sure, but without any detail, context or location.... not very interesting.

Bonus - On the other hand....Troubled Waters

Reading Urine in Medieval Medicine

The Headless Icon

 

It's unclear to me whether this is a small religious statue to a saint, which has subsequently lost his head and hand,  or this saint who lost his head and hand has been accurately immortalized in this religious statue.

And I doubt if anyone else cares.

Bonus - 

"Just Park Where You Like"

 

Can you appreciate the beauty of concrete hotel design sixties and seventies?   I struggle with it.

You might imagine that the Hotel Albarella is located on the Adriatic Coast of Italy, close to Venice.

Alas, no. This one, thanks to some Google-Fu, is located in San Bernardino, Switzerland. 1600metres above the Adriatic, beautiful hills, blighted by this monstrosity

And it looks like it's still there, and (in 2014) still seemed to be its ugly, horrible
self. Yeuch.

Bonus - Rio de Janeiro was once the capital of Portugal. Following the conquest of Portugal by Napoleon, the Portuguese royal family fled to Brazil (1808-1821). They then established the capital of Portugal in Rio de Janeiro.

.Bonus 2 - The equivalent of Fibonacci spiral in real life.

A Castle

 

Anyone recognise this castle?

Or it may be a fort.

Anyone?
