I have posted this building before, but I wanted to shoot it again and see if I could get a bit of a different angle.
This is the Deloitte building in downtown Vancouver, a 24 storey commercial high rise. Each cube has four storeys. If you zoom in, you'll see that the cubes at the right are concrete - apparently, they are going to be green walls, so hopefully we will soon see plants growing up there.
My 5 letters word is block.
I love shooting building blocks.
I had so many options for this but this is where I landed.

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.

This was taken at Old Harbor in Block Island. Block Island is off the coast of Rhode Island and is a popular summer vacation spot for New Englanders. I got up early for sunrise, put my equipment in the basket of my bike are rode to the shore. The sunrise was a bust so I decided to look for other interesting spots to photograph.

A view of the west side of Mount Pulaski's square as seen from the intersection of S. Washington (right) and E. Cooke St. (left). The strange looking building on the corner is the Farmers Bank of Mount Pulaski. The following information is sourced from the Farmers Bank of Mount Pulaski website which states the bank was established in 1872 when Leonard K. Scroggin, with the assistance of Walter Sawyer, formed a private bank, known as the Scroggin & Sawyer Bank. Mr. Scroggin was a local land owner and had a successful farming business which had grown to such an extent that he decided to open a private bank. The bank was originally located in a building that faced west on South Washington Street, about a half a block south of the square. This building no longer stands.
On February 7th, 1876, Mr. Scroggin bought the lot where the present bank (ed: shown in this view) is located to build a new building to house the bank. This building was very substantial for the time and consisted of the bank and a store with offices, a large opera house, and a dance hall located above. The building also included a three-story hotel and rooming house, which had 20 rooms in addition to a parlor and a dining room. Upon completion of the new building, the new bank was called Scroggin & Son, and a few years after that, was known as The Farmers Bank of Scroggin & Son. On July 1, 1914, The Farmers Bank of Scroggin & Son went public and was incorporated as a State Bank under the name of The Farmers Bank of Mt. Pulaski Illinois, as it is still called today.
I have not been found photographs of the 1876-era bank building that also contained offices, dance hall, opera house, and hotel. It certainly is possible the partial remains of that 1876 building have been "papered over" with the building seen before you. I plan to visit the Mt. Pulaski Historical Museum in the near future and will update this post soon after. Mount Pulaski's business district around the courthouse still retains much of its turn-of-the-century charm. All I can say is this monstrosity of a building contributes nothing to historical appeal of the square.
Mount Pulaski is located in southern Logan County, about 30 miles northeast of Springfield. The population of Mount Pulaski at the 2020 census was 1,537.
"Football is two things. It's blocking and tackling. I don't care about formations or new offenses or tricks on defense. You block and tackle better than the team you're playing, you win.”
-Vince Lombardi
That Lombardi quote came to mind when I was working on this image, created from a TV screen shot of a football game that I was watching that was played in a snowstorm on Saturday. The shot shows Michigan State running back Kenneth Walker III (number 9) in the grasp of a Penn State defender, as his teammates attempt to block for him. Walker was carrying the ball, though you can't see it here.
Just for fun, I grabbed a few shots of the screen during the game, and have dressed this one up with a painterly look for Sliders Sunday. I'm also submitting it for the Our Daily Challenge "Begins with F" theme (football).

All the boys, they wander
Around the blocks, each evening
'Cos in the evening
You can't see the greyness
The dirty streets are shadowed
And the lampposts are broken
And you can pretend
That you've really gone for a walk
From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
(Matthew 16:21)
I was amazed to stumble across half a block of mostly hidden abandoned row houses in the middle of north Detroit. The surrounding blocks are mostly empty now. Just vacant overgrown lots and dark empty buildings.

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.
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.
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 . . .

Rotated Blocks of Cambrian limestones and shales in landslide deposits on the sides of Shell Canyon in Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming are visible in roadcuts along US 14.
North Block is the Ministry of Home Affairs offices for the Government of India. The building has references of old Mughal and British architecture.

My heart is broken. These once substantial buildings on the town square across the street from Clay County Courthouse, have been demolished.

After a rather long and cold winter, our days are getting warmer again. The last vestiges of ice are melting on our lakes and ponds, sometimes leaving blocks or shards of ice floating on the water.

Another shot of the road block we encountered during a drive around Pilanesberg Game Park. They were making their way to a waterhole to drink and after a few minutes, they wandered off into the bushes. You can see my previous video here:
