Gloucester, MA

I live in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles, so I guess you could say my "City Hall" is the somewhat iconic L.A. City Hall, downtown. It's a gleaming white 27 story skyscraper built in 1927 and has been the subject of many of my photographs.
Most local City Halls, the Beach Cities, Torrance, the Peninsula, all are nondescript single or two story flat civic buildings from the 50s and 60s. (Torrance has three stories.) Lots of the surrounding cities have had multiple civic centers throughout their history, and perhaps some of the City Halls buildings have been magnificent. (One of Long Beach's many City Halls [from 1923] was pretty neat and the present glass walled Civic Center is really nice too.)
Nothing out west here in my home vicinity comes close to matching the grandeur of THIS City Hall, that of Gloucester, MA, a somewhat small fishing town known as America's oldest seaport.
The town was settled in 1642. This City Hall building was constructed in 1870. I saw the tower from across the bay when I was looking to take photos of the lighthouse. It started raining pretty badly, and the road to the lighthouse stated I needed to get a permit to travel it, so I turned around and went back into town. The rain stopped, the sun came out, and I drove up to the City Center to take some photos.
From Wikipedia:
"Gloucester City Hall...was built in 1870 and dedicated the following year. ...Built to a design by Bryant and Rogers, it is a two-story Second Empire brick building. Each of the rectangular building's four corners is topped by its own pyramidal roof structure, above which is a small rectangular cupola with its own roof. Centered on the front elevation is a clock tower that is brick in its lower levels, and decorated wood above, ending in a copper dome.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973."
Geothermal energy, the most important source of energy.
Geothermal area is defined by the temperature of the groundwater at a depth of around 1,000m: if it is higher than 150°C (the boiling point is shifted due to the pressure).
This energy provides electricity + hot water + streets can be heated in Reykjavik in winter

Die Geothermale Energie, wichtigste Energiequelle.
Geothermalgebiet definiert sich durch die Temperatur vom Grundwasser in rund 1.000m Tiefe: Ist sie höher als 150°C (Der Siedepunkt ist wegen dem Druck verschoben).
Durch diese Energie gibt es Strom + Warmwasser + Strassen können in Reykjavik im Winter beheizt werden

This area is roped off for breeding birds. Most of the time people are pretty good about respecting the areas. Other times....Not so much.

What an incredible few days it has been in the Bay Area with all the low elevation snow. Here is a panorama from the Henry Coe area as the sun's last light illuminates the the snow covered trees and mountain tops. Great shooting all day with John Fox!
Thanks for looking!
The forests around the Makarora area are simply spectacular. Beautiful deep green colours with clean streams of fast waters braking the otherwise uninterrupted silence.
It took me a good couple of hours to get this shot right. I had to take it from a suspended bridge which wasn't very stable. But it was definitely worth it.

Nikon D7200: amzn.to/2pXn3Qd
Tokina 12-24mm f4 PRO DX: amzn.to/2pXiyoQ

Los bosques en el área de Makarora, Nueva Zelanda, son simplemente espectaculares. Bonitos y ricos verdes contrastados con limpios arroyos de aguas rápidas rompiendo el silencio que de otra manera se ve ininterrumpido.
Necesité un par de horas para poder tomar esta foto bien. La razón, la tuve que hacer desde un puente colgante que se movía de vez en cuando arruinando mi larga exposición. Pero en cualquier caso creo que el resultado valió la pena.

Hey there!
Some of you might have seen this build already at Legoworld Utrecht last month, but now I finally found the time and energy to take the photo's.
This one was quite an interesting build as the composition is quite different compared to the usual 'buildings' stuff I make. This time the center is 'empty' but still the main focus of the build where it all started.
It was quite tricky to really capture the colours in the digital edit, but I am quite pleased how this one turned out :)
Oh, and no, this doesn't resemble a specific DnD area, but I have played some Baldur's Gate 3, so there sure is a lot of inspiration from that world.
Anyway, that's is for this one; I will be back for some Brickscalibur stuff soon!

Thank you, my kind Flickr friends, for visiting my site and taking the time to leave a comment. Truly appreciated!
I like to think this section of the Bay Area between Oakland and San Francisco including the Interstate 80 corridor from the Carquinez Bridge down through Emeryville as the center of the known Bay Area, Northern California. I'm sure others who have grown up farther south in the region may disagree with my geography. I love it here. This is home.
This is six images stitched together in camera raw. I shot this last month at twilight from Battery Spencer. I hope you enjoy this image.
