The blocks - A long exposure at high tide of 'The blocks', the iconic zig zag breakwater on the outer sea wall at St Monans.
The three minute or so exposure turns the Firth of Forth silky smooth whilst the receding clouds create a sense of motion in the sky.
St Monans, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland
Installed in the courtyard of MoMA-PS1. "Le Grand Soir" (The Big Night) by artist Yto Barrada
From the museum's website:
Yto Barrada (French-Moroccan, b. 1971) transforms the courtyard with a colorful arrangement of towering sculptures built from stacked concrete blocks, which visitors can sit on and explore. Barrada often mines the hidden histories embedded within architectural and geometric forms, revealing the intersections of material, political, and personal narratives. For Le Grand Soir, Barrada looks to the tradition of constructing human pyramids in Morocco, where their distinctive applications have ranged from martial arts and acrobatics to spiritual practices. Each of Barrada’s structures takes inspiration from an acrobatic formation used by Moroccan acrobats: tqal (weight), bourj tarbaite (tower of four), and bourj benayma ou chebaken (tower lift with net). They also draw on subjects as wide-ranging as Moroccan Brutalism and Barrada’s family lore, weaving together distinct historical moments of shapeshifting, surmounting barricades, and retooling architectures.

Amsterdam - Kromme Mijdrechtstraat.
Vrijheidslaan, Uithoornstraat, Kromme Mijdrechtstraat:
the last of the housing blocks designed by architect Michel De Klerk (1884 - 1923).
The Amsterdam School is a style of architecture that arose from 1910 through about 1930 in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam School movement is part of international Expressionist architecture, sometimes linked to German Brick Expressionism (Wp).
Happy Windows Wednesday :-)

Even this block of apartments hasn't been spared from graffiti . . . artists or vandals?
The graphic pattern is part of the buildings design but I am not sure that in this case, the addition of the graffiti and splashes of paint are an enhancement.
This is what I get when I try to connect to flickr in Dubai...have found a way around the block but it is tedious
I took a photograph of this precinct about a year ago and late last year returned here in late evening/early night. Quite a glum area of town, to my way of thinking.
Sometimes you've just got to surrender to the sodium...

One of the Acolytes of Zoom from the later arc of the New 52 line of comics. Just one of many new villains made for flash in new 52. (Even if the volumes past 4 sucked) Though she like the others didn't last long. ( R.i.p Black Mold, Mogul, Merge, Lash, Mashup, Magali, Selkirk, and a couple others I probably missed.) Couldn't make her actual look really well in purist so I made my own.
What looks like boulders in the foreground is actually blocks of ice that have glacial till embedded within them. The water entering Turnagain Arm has quite a bit of glacial till that has not settled out of the water, so when it freezes, the embedded glacial till does as well. This is at the end of Turnagain Arm near Portage, Alaska.

You will have to find the location on a real map! as the flickr map doesn't even show Tennant Creek, (to the North) or Wauchope just to the South in the NT.
How were The Devils Marbles formed?
The formation of The Devils Marbles are a result of the erosion of the sandstone on top of granite (which was formed millions of years ago due to the hardening of magma within the earth’s crust)- which the Marbles are made up of. The folding of the earth’s crust lead to the lifting of the granite and the erosion of the sandstone, after the granite came to the surface, pressure was lost and the granite expanded causing cracks to form and fall apart in large, square blocks.
Over time, as the square blocks were exposed to water, their surface began to decay. A layer of the rock was flushed away by water and blown away by wind.
The rounded shape of these blocks resulted from both mechanical and chemical weathering, the surface of the rocks often expand or shrink as a result of chemical processes. Because the chemical processes affect the areas with edges more, a rounded shape is formed. The boulders are also suffering from solarisation and temperature differences between day and night- causing the boulder to crack and sometimes split in half.

Manchester has some lovely old buildings and some lovely new buildings. The Arndale tower is not one of those. From my hotel room on Exchange Square, the tower dominated the cityscape. It's a shame- the most hideous buildings always seem to be the biggest, exerting themselves over everything else.
The darker than usual night seemed to try and absorb the tower, but couldn't manage- the tower was too gloomy even for it.

Outside the entrance to Lancaster Priory stands this mounting block. It would do for the smallest pony or tallest Hanoverian Warmblood.
The Centre Block, or as the Francophone Canadiens say: 'Édifice du Centre', is the main building of the Canadian parliamentary complex on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa, Ontario. It contains the original House of Commons and Senate chambers, as well as the offices of a number of members of parliament, senators, and senior administration for both legislative houses.
It is also the location of several ceremonial spaces, such as the Hall of Honour, the Memorial Chamber, and Confederation Hall.
The present Centre Block is the building's second iteration. The first was destroyed by fire in 1916; all that remains of the original building is the Library of Parliament, at the rear of the Centre Block. Though construction began immediately after the blaze, sculpting work on the interior continued through the 1970s. The Peace Tower (height 55 metres), also known as the Tower of Victory and Peace is a focal bell and clock tower sitting on the central axis of the Centre Block.
The Centre Block is one of the most recognizable buildings in Canada, therefore it is depicted on the Canadian $10 bill (the Library of Parliament), $20 bill (the Peace Tower), and the $50 bill.
On the day I visited Ottawa it was almost the entire day very rainy. Only at the end of the day, the sun briefly appeared, allowing me to take this picture. It was very happy with it, because Ottawa is so much more beautiful when it is not cloudy and rainy.
