Block Island

My 5 letters word is block.
I love shooting building blocks.
I had so many options for this but this is where I landed.
Happy Macro Mondays
On the way back from Mohegan Bluffs I had stop and take in the scenery here. It was rather extraordinary weather for November.
You'll notice the land - water - land- water sequence - These kinds of ponds next to the ocean are relatively common on Block Island, and I find them to be delightful.
Preparing two pieces of paper (20x20cm, glassine, grid 1:24) using square twists.
Curious what happened next? ;-))) Look here.
Have a nice day!
A beaut of a butte, east of Lake Powell, on the far side of Antelope Island, which lies low in the foreground, shadowed just before sunset. Note the layering on the butte and the cliffs behind, indicating sandstones and shales laid down by sedimentary processes—completely different from the massive intrusive granite blocks in Monument Valley, which are remnants of volcanic activity.
The map location may not be accurate.

Granite blocks at the base of the Galveston, Texas, Seawall help prevent damages from waves and storm surges.
This line of blocks and pulleys below deck on board the HMS Discovery are very well preserved considering their age.

LOCATION CHALLENGE : Photographers that choose to participate in the challenge can come over to my parcel, Noshinima's Neighborhood and do an image anywhere in my city. You will be allowed two hours to use any posestands or props that you would like to add and are allowed to bring any friends you want to join you in your shoot. You are also allowed to make the shoot as safe or as adult as you like. The only rule is that you do the shoot within the city block. Take your time to have a look around to see where in the block would make a great place for your image.
2) Upload the finished image onto Flickr and place the hashtag #NoshsHoodChallenge3 on either the title or the description.
3) YOU MUST TAG 10 PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE TAKE THIS CHALLENGE ON YOUR UPLOAD OF YOUR SHOOT! NO MORE, NO LESS! I have had several people during previous challenges that have not followed this simple rule so I am making it ALLCAPS to get the point across. Link them to this post and explain the rules to them as well. They must also tag 10 of their friends that they would like to see do this challenge if they themselves choose to participate as well. You must tag people that are actual active photographers on Second Life. Tagging pages dedicated to advertising a store, tagging real life photographers and tagging empty profiles does not count and is against the rules. Also, although you are permitted to do this if you desire, tagging me and tagging yourself will not count towards the number of 10 photographers you are tagging.
According to the referenced wheel, complimentary blue-violet(-ish) v. orange-yellow and complimentary dark-red-light-green are paired here. But I think the purple & gold are also complementary.
The two blocks of subtly varying color against a harmonic background remind me of Rothko.
The old stable block at Ightham Mote viewed from the tower on the manor house. It was converted into holiday let cottages which are currently being renovated. There is a small display of old photographs in the main entrance.

This appears to be an old horse mounting block by the gate to someone’s garden. I cannot even begin to count the times we’ve walked passed this and not noticed it before. If it hadn’t have been for the snowdrops we probably never would have spotted it.
I suppose it will come in handy now if anyone should want to climb over the drystone wall.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Has this ever happened to you? I was all set to catch a nice view of the "City of Derailment" passenger train, pulling into Salt Lake City on the double track main. Unbeknownst to me, a ZLBDV intermodal was also on the approach, about about 10 cars ahead of the passenger train, blocking the view. I quickly repositioned myself in a desperate attempt to grab a photo as UP 4533's nose migrated into a patch of sun. See if you can spot the Rio Tinto copper mine . . .
