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.
Deloitte Summit Building
Located at 410 West Georgia Street, Deloitte Summit rises in the centre of Vancouver's thriving innovation corridor. Inspired by both the surrounding natural landscape, and the shape of a Japanese lantern, the building is already a landmark in the city's iconic skyline.
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:

There has been a drug store on this corner since 1885. In the '20s it became part of the Block chain, and went independent in the '40s, and still survives today among a sea of chains... Second Avenue, East Village, NYC
IJEN CRATER. Images were taken from a height of 2799 m above sea level, while climbing the mountain crater of Ijen, East Java Indonesia.
When the sunrise behind the mountains and thick smoke blocked from Ijen crater.
Found an image to retry my effect on. Its been a while and using a cheap basic mouse I seem to able to smudge in a straight line again.
Another shot from Torness Power Station
One of Judd's largest undertakings involved 15 clusters of boxes installed in a one-kilometer long arrangement on the grounds of Chinati. Each cluster, different in make, gives the viewer a different framed of blocked view of the local landscape. The boxes, measuring about twelve feet in height. ~ source
This limestone block is part of the foundation of a cabin built by Joseph Bischoff on his 640.96 acre homestead located off Cottonwood Creek near the mouth of Cottonwood Canyon east of Lovell, Wyoming. He filed on the homestead in 1924; patented it in 1929. The house was built around 1928-1929 The foundation seems to be made up of mostly local rocks while most of the chimney rock were hauled in from the Big Horn Glass Company Plant in Lovell.

Heydar Aliyev Centre, Baku, Azerbaijan
I'm pretty sure that everyone who reads this will have their own bucket list of goals and objectives, whether it be personal milestones or achievements, or a simple wish list of exotic places to visit... I'm sure you'll all have one tucked away somewhere. Anyone who hasn't or says they've completed theirs simply lacks imagination or isn't trying hard enough!
My own list is forever changing and growing and admittedly travel features heavily throughout it. One of my earliest ambitions was to fly on a jumbo jet, fly all the way around the world and visit Australia. I was lucky enough to do all three when I married Mrs R some 22 years ago... we still want to repeat those tick box items all over again... and some day hopefully we will!
I always wanted to go to Sydney to see the bridge and the Opera House. But like most things to see on the telly or in glossy travel magazines, nothing compares to seeing it for yourself and both have fuelled my interest in bridges and architecture ever since. I've always regarded the Sydney Opera House as the greatest 20th century architectural icon, so recognisable throughout the world and the benchmark for modern design. I'm sure architects will disagree and point out plenty of other icons but for me it's my icon.
But like I said, my list is forever changing and growing and there's a new kid on the block now - the Heydar Aliyev Centre. It's been on the list for six years and my sole reason for visiting Baku this year, which exceeded all expectations as well. I've plenty more to write about this building but for now I hope it's stirred a little interest.
