Kodak Gold 100 film. On the rugged south side of the island. Occasionally, the sun would break through the fog. Near the Southeast Light.
I seemed to have enough fabric strips to make 2 blocks (almost) I made a center for the 2nd block that I thought went well with the other colors and I had to piece together some of the strips to have enough to go around the last block, so I hope you aren't opposed to getting a two-fer.

Update: A year and a half later its still blocked. Here

So after the first block, I was having too much fun to stop, but realized a quilt was probably a long term project. Decided on a pillow and couldn't stop with this color combo, also it was the colors I had the most text prints in.

I don't remember which cell block number this is from the Eastern State Penitentiary. I think it was closed to guests beyond a certain point.
8 East Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC.
Description of Historic Place:
The Desrosiers Block is located on East Hastings Street on the southern fringe of Vancouver's historic Gastown district. It is a two-storey commercial building with Edwardian archtiectural elements.
Heritage Value:
The heritage value of the Desrosiers Block lies in the historic relationship between this area and the economy of early Vancouver. When Vancouver became the entrepot between the Canadian Pacific Railway and trans-Pacific shipping in 1887, Gastown was its hub. At the turn of the twentieth century, this area of town was developed as a shopping area, as commercial activity spread outward from its early roots in Gastown. The Desrosiers Building is associated with Gastown's history as a mixed-use district.
Michael Desrosiers, a plumber who also operated a retail stove outlet, worked with contractor P. J. Donahue in 1901 to construct this building. Although its larger neighbours on each side emphasize the modest scale of the building, its solid massing and stone detailing give the site substance and significance. This building provides a contrast in scale, massing, detailing and use, demonstrating the variety of architectural styles and functions established along Hastings Street. By 1908 the tenants included two liquor stores and a barber, catering to a largely male clientele. In 1913 a restaurant was opened in the Desrosiers Block. The retail use continues today.

Character-Defining Elements:
The character-defining elements of the Desrosiers Block include:
- the physical and stylistic relationship between this building and its higher neighbours within the Gastown historic district
- form, scale and massing
- its siting on the property line, with no setbacks
- Edwardian architectural elements, such as moulded sheet metal parapet, projecting pediment inscribed "Desrosiers Block" supported by circular columns on each side, stone decorated brackets supporting cornice with dentils, medallions at top of three stone pilasters between windows, pattern of fenestration (four large double-hung one-over-one sash windows set in stone surrounds), rusticated stone string courses above ground floor level, and horizontal stepped string course above windows
- continued retail use of ground floor

Taken at the Portsmouth Roller Wenches bout at Horizon Leisure Centre. Two bouts between the Portsmouth A Team against the Bristol Harbour Harlots and the Portsmouth B Team against the Bath Roller Derby Girls.
Great wins by both Portsmouth teams.
I was lucky enough to be next to a team member (not playing) who was able to fill me in with some of the finer points of play so thanks to Admiral, hope your stats looked good :-)
