I photographed the SUNY System Administration Building, formerly Delaware and Hudson Railroad Company Building, from along the Hudson River last night It was built in 1914 and was the work of Marcus T. Reynolds.
Photographed using a Nikkor 43-86mm f/3.5 lens on a Sony A7R.
The administration section of the Babcock Building at the South Carolina Lunatic Asylum was the last section of the building to be constructed and was completed in 1885.
Within the central building was a central hall, with offices on either side, and a connector hallway to allow for passage from between the north and south wards. The second floor contained operating rooms as well as residences for the doctors and supervisor.

Im Jahr 1935 wurde in einem Waldgebiet mit dem Bau der Luftmunitionsanstalt begonnen und es entstanden anfangs ein Gleisanschluss und Zuwegungen. Man errichtete 60 Bunker für fertiggestellte Munition und 12 für Zünder, weitere Bunker entstanden später. Ein Jahr später wurden Betriebs- und Verwaltungsgebäude auf dem Gelände errichtet.
Vor Beginn des zweiten Weltkrieges waren rund 40 Arbeiter und eine ähnliche Anzahl an Soldaten in der Anlage beschäftigt, im Verlauf des Krieges stieg die Zahl der Beschäftigten auf bis zu 500. Zusätzlich existierte auf dem Gelände ein aus rund 150 sowjetischen Kriegsgefangenen bestehendes Arbeitskommando.
Die Hauptaufgabe der Luftmunitionsanstalt war die Bezünderung und Lagerung von Bomben. Es wurden 2 kg-Brandbomben, 10 kg-Splitterbomben und 50, 250 und 500 kg-Sprengbomben verarbeitet. Zusätzlich ist Flak-Munition in den Kalibern 2; 7,5; 8,8 und 10,5 cm eingelagert worden.
Am Kriegsende erging der Befehl zur Zerstörung der Luftmunitionsanstalt. Da sich die Feuerwerker gegen diesen Befehl wehrten und nur kleine Teile der Munition sprengten, kam es nicht zu Zerstörungen an Einrichtungen. Am 11. April 1945 besetzte die British Army die Anstalt ohne Gegenwehr.
The grand Hudson River State Hospital was once owned by the father of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It operated continuously from 1871 to 2003. The expansive campus was originally built as a part of the Kirkbride Plan, which practiced what was deemed "Moral Treatment," espoused by Dr. Thomas Story Kirkbride and adopted at state hospitals across the country in the late 19th century. The Hudson River campus is sprawling (160+ acres), and is one of few hospital campuses in the country designed by the lading landscape architects of the era, Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmstead, the duo who created Central Park.
EFG/DRA Heritage, LLC - the most recent owner/developer - targeted the site for one of the largest planned residential and retail developments in Dutchess County history. The project called for 750 residential units, including multifamily apartments, townhouses and detached single-family homes, 350,000 square feet of retail space, and 80,000 square feet of hotel space. Ironically, despite having "Heritage" in their moniker, the developers intended to demolish almost every historic building.
In the spring 2018, a suspicious fire tore through the main Administration building. The developer offered a measly $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of the arsons. It goes without saying that the fire actually helped the developers' efforts in razing the National Register listed campus for their master planned community, and demolishing the administration building would have cost far more than the reward moneys. The room pictured here, photographed in 2010, no longer exists.
Built in 1887 as University Hall the administration building at Friends University is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
20 April 2025, Prestwick Airport
A rare daylight visit of NASA's astronaut repatriation platform, Gulfstream V N95NA at Prestwick (PIK / EGPK) yesterday afternoon. "NASA 5" was carrying America's oldest serving astronaut, Don Pettit, who had returned to Earth from the International Space Station in the early hours of yesterday morning in a Soyuz space capsule together with two Russian cosmonauts. N95NA had flown from Karaganda in Kazakhstan and landed at Prestwick prior to making its second leg of the journey back to Houston.
Stalag X B Sandbostel -
In September 1939 the Wehrmacht set up a main POW camp (Kriegsgefangenen-Mannschafts-Stammlager, or Stalag) in Sandbostel. Up to 30,000 POWs were to be held at Stalag X B, a 35-hectare site with over 150 dormitory huts, utility buildings and administration buildings. By the end of the war, more than 300,000 POWs, civilian prisoners and military internees from over 55 countries had passed through Stalag X B. Most were assigned to one of the camp's more than 1,100 work details in north-west Germany, where they worked primarily in agriculture but also in industry and armaments production.
Soviet POWs in particular were denied the protection of the law of war by the Wehrmacht, so thousands of them died of exhaustion, starvation and disease in Stalag XB and its work details. In April 1945 around 9,500 prisoners from the Neuengamme concentration camp and its satellite camps arrived at Sandbostel. More than 3,000 of them died during the transport, in the camp and in the first weeks after the liberation.
The use of the site since 1945
After the liberation of Stalag X B on 29 April 1945, the British Army set up an internment camp for members of the Waffen-SS. In 1948 the Lower Saxony Ministry of Justice turned the site into the Camp Sandbostel Prison. From 1952 to 1960 the Lower Saxony Ministry for Displaced Persons used the site as the ‘Sandbostel emergency transit camp’ for young male refugees from East Germany. From 1963 the German federal armed forces used the grounds mainly as a depot. The Sandbostel council took over the site in 1973 and turned it into the Immenhain industrial estate.
The Sandbostel Camp Memorial
In 2005 and 2008 the Sandbostel Camp Foundation acquired part of the former camp and established the Sandbostel Camp Memorial. The memorial incorporates eleven historical huts and other buildings from the former POW camp and a few buildings from the post-war period. Five wooden dormitory huts, one latrine and one kitchen building have been restored following accepted conservation practices.
The railroad built in 1963, by the Florida East Coast Railroad
and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), ran 13 miles from Titusville to NASA's Kennedy Space Center. NASA purchased the Florida East Coast portion of the railroad line in 1983. Because of the hazardous commodities hauled over the railroad, particularly the solid rocket boosters for the space shuttle, NASA decided to completely rebuild and upgrade the line. The original track was 100- or 112-pound jointed rail on wood cross ties and limestone ballast. It was replaced with 132-pound continuous-welded rail and concrete cross ties. Every single booster segment used in the Space Shuttle Program arrived at Kennedy by rail. In 2015, NASA shut down its railroad operations and sold the locomotives. However, vegetation growth on the line is regularly controlled.
My first 2010 shot. This is quite a common view of Putrajaya - Malaysia's central government administration.
2009 was a great year, my daughter was born in November, got a new job, moved to my own house and a few other things. Hopefully 2010 will be even better :D

West Virginia State Penitentiary
Moundsville, WV
November 3rd, 2014
The Former West Virginia State Penitentiary, a National Historic Places Registered facility, operated by the Moundsville Economic Development Council in Moundsville, West Virginia.
The history of this historic penitentiary:
"The prison at Joliet provided the prototype for the West Virginia Penitentiary. It was an imposing stone structure fashioned in the castellated Gothic architectural style (adorned with turrets and battlements, like a castle). Only the dimensions of West Virginia's facility would differ; it would be approximately one-half the size of Joliet.
No architectural drawings of the West Virginia Penitentiary have been discovered, so an understanding of the plan developed by the Board of Directors must be obtained through their 1867 report, which details the procurement of a title for ten acres of land and a proposal to enclose about seven acres. On the north side would be a street 60 feet in width, and on the west 140 feet for street and yard to the front buildings.
The prison yard would be a parallelogram 682 1/2 feet in length, by 352 1/2 feet in width, enclosed by a stone wall 5 feet in thickness at the bottom, 2 1/2 feet at the top, with foundation 5 feet below the surface, and wall 25 inches thick. At each of the corners of this wall would be large turrets, for the use of the guards, with inside staircases. Guardrooms would be above on a level with the top of the main. The superintendent's house and cell buildings would be so placed that the rear wall of each would form part of the west wall. "

The classical style of architecture was chosen because it represents a standard of beauty and dignity beyond trends and fashions. Since the buildings of the administration complex were built to last for many generations, it was not worthwhile to adopt a type of architecture that would have looked out of fashion after a few decades.
One of the many 'official guides' or 'handbooks' issued under the auspices of almost every UK local authority duringt he Twentieth Century and that included details of local administration, services, amenities and industries for both residents, visitors and prospective residents and investors. It is fair to say that this splendidly honest cover, showing the two main industries of the Yorkshire UDC of Rawmarsh, was not particularly aimed at holidaymakers!
The town, adjacent to the River Don, and situated close to Rotherham, into which borough it was amalgamated in the 1974 local government reorganisation, and was unashamedly built on coal, steel and chemicals. The major employer was the large Park Gate Iron & Steel Company, whose many products included colliery roof supports - important to the other major extractive industry. The works would continue to expand during the mid-20th Century with the development of the adjacent Aldwarke site. Another major steel company was that of Wm. Oxley of the Park Gate Steel Works.
The guide includes some photos of the town that show the trolleybus overhead of the rather unusual local undertaking the Mexborough & Swinton Traction Company (they had abandoned the word Tramways in the title when they converted the system in c1927) and the wholly single deck fleet continued in operation until 1961 when motor buses were substituted. It was the first and last private company to operate trolleybuses in the UK.
The cover is remarkably bold - the iron & steel works in the background, the colliery and colliers in the forground and even the telephone wires and gas lamps are silhouetted!
Dutch colonial architecture is evident in the former administration building of the Marienburg Plantation sugar mill in Suriname's Commewijne district. The mill closed in 1986.

Dookie. Population about 250.
Locals believe the town was named by a pastoralists’ wife who had lived in Ceylon where the word duka (changed to dookie) means sorrow. The district was surveyed in 1859 but farmers only took up land here in the 1870s. When the railway from Shepparton was extended here in 1879 a town was established and named Dookie. Vines were planted and it became an important distilled and fortified wine producing area until phylloxera diseased wiped out the industry in 1910. Adjacent to the town the Victoria government established their first agricultural college in 1886 three years after South Australia had established Roseworthy Agricultural College. Dookie College is now part of the University of Melbourne. Because of the existence of the college and railway Dookie became an important but little town. It soon had a number of significant buildings some of which still stand. They included the Anglican Church (1892), the Catholic Church on the hill (1898), the Gladstone Hotel (1880s) and the school. Opposite the current store in Mary Street are the Country Women’s Association gardens established in 1937. These gardens include a painted cow statue like those in Shepparton and a clock tower. Dookie Nomadic Silo art project uses portable grain silos donated by farmers. They are designed to be moved and to be regrouped to have different impacts and their locations are not fixed. Keep your eyes open!

Shenyueshu (Divine Music Administration) in Temple of Heaven is a royal organization for playing ancient music. The Divine Music Administration was housed in a group of buildings northwest of the West Heavenly Gate of the Circular Mound Altar and on the other side of the wall of the Fasting Palace. Its job was to play music and perform dance at the heaven-worshiping and other grand ceremonies. It was the top academy of ceremonial music during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The building complex was first built in 1420 in the Ming Dynasty. They were typital government office building. The administration was under the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, the Ministry of Rites.
