I’m not really sure what to call this giant light fixture in the middle of the NCL Breakaway cruise ship. It’s several stories tall and the LED colors keep changing. Trippy, man!

Many changing colors in this giant light in the NCL Breakaway cruise ship center atrium

I was lucky enough to visit Longwood Gardens near Philadelphia, PA just a few days ago. What an enormous,, impressive and gorgeous place. The photo below is inside one of their huge indoor conservatory spaces.

One of my favorite places in the whole world, the Conservatory at Volunteer Park in Seattle, WA.

Since the streets and sidewalks are quite uneven in San Miguel de Allende (vast understatement!), strollers just don’t cut it.

Many of the roofs in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico have plants in pots at the roof’s edge over the street. I do wonder about earthquakes, if not high winds.

I was charmed by the colors the building walls were painted in the central district in San Miguel, a UNESCO World Heritage site. They go so well with the blue sky!

Two views of the interior, one above the other, of the Parroquía church in San Miguel de Allende, in Mexico. I have never seen bricked vaulted ceilings anywhere but in San Miguel.

The high ceiling of the famed Parroquía church is vaulted and covered with brickwork. I do worry about earthquakes when I see such a ceiling.
