Bloggers' Block-a-palooza Quilt Along
View allAll Photos Tagged Block
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.
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.

Preparing two pieces of paper (20x20cm, glassine, grid 1:24) using square twists.
Curious what happened next? ;-))) Look here.
Have a nice day!
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.

"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).

Macro Mondays Theme: Blocks
These blocks are the keys on a hurdy gurdy that my husband built from a flatpack kit. If you want to hear what one sounds like then you can listen to Black Sails Theme or Hozier's Blood Upon the Snow, it's not so obvious in this track though. HMM everyone!
I really appreciate all your comments and favourites.
Indian Chameleon (Chameleo zeylanicus) on a granite block.
The first thing that struck me was that this guy looks like a 'mosaic' of tiny colored pebbles - hence the caption : )
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.
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.

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.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HMM
1968 Camaro. The 454 had to be an engine swap, I believe the largest big block motor available on the sixty eight's was the 396ci
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.
Four GEs of different types lead westbound grain train G017-04 past the venerable block signals at Cooke Road. Gotta love the staggered heads and original GRS relay bases: two more examples of old NYC hardware on the north side of Columbus.
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 . . .
North Block is the Ministry of Home Affairs offices for the Government of India. The building has references of old Mughal and British architecture.
