Speaker: Why a renter died from turning…, in reply to Hebe,
qualified gasfitters must instal and maintain the appliance.
I did once hide behind a concrete wall as two very unqualified people used a cigarette lighter to figure out if a gas bottle was leaking.... Then there was the time two downstairs neighbours tried to figure out whether their gas bottle was empty or not by taking it out into the stair well, opening the valve, and emptying it....

Impromptu shrubbery (the angle of the morning light made the street-side, with all its flowers, the side that you’re supposed to look at and saw “wow!”, really boring).
Ephemeral building, solid trees.
The lantern tree.

Speaker: Why a renter died from turning…, in reply to Allan MacLachlan,
So, he didn’t meet the current standards, why would he then go further under a new regime? While you can have a whole lot of rules, regulations and standards for landlords to comply with, that doesn’t mean they will comply with them.
That's what we have law enforcement agencies for.

And some reflecty things.

Afternoon sun, again.

Morning light (first two photos taken at a more civilised hour than the colour one below).
And despite the colouring, this did not turn out to be a good omen for the Dutch national football team (taken 4:50ish am Beijing time during the half-time break).

So, ummm.... what just happened? I suppose Brasil gets the dubious consolation of not losing as badly as North Korea against Portugal in 2010. I bet Scolari is packing his bags and scanning the airline timetables for the next flight to Argentina where he'll claim asylum. Dilma Roussef must be considering her options, too.... mobilise the army? Or fill the tanks on the presidential jet and fly as far as it will take her?
I completely forgot to check the timetable last night, so I only saw the last 15 minutes. It didn't look like Germany going all Sturm und Drang on Brasilian arse so much as seasoned pros versus rank amateurs.

Capture: See Into the Trees, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
We got a few trees.
Beautiful!
