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.

Granite blocks at the base of the Galveston, Texas, Seawall help prevent damages from waves and storm surges.
This line of blocks and pulleys below deck on board the HMS Discovery are very well preserved considering their age.
Het Holocaustmonument (formele naam: Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas) in Berlijn is een monument ter herdenking van de Jodenvervolging tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het bestond uit 2711 betonblokken variërend in hoogte van 20 cm tot 4,70 meter met een onderlinge tussenruimte van 95 cm. Door een bouwfout is een blok voor onderzoek verwijderd en niet meer terug geplaatst, waardoor er nu nog maar 2710 betonblokken staan. Onder het veld met de blokken is een expositieruimte ingericht. De Amerikaanse architect Peter Eisenman heeft het monument ontworpen. Het veld met de golvende blokken roept volgens hem een gevoel van desoriëntatie en isolement op en is symbolisch voor de ervaringen van de Joodse bevolking tijdens het nazibewind.
The Holocaust monument (formal name: Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas) in Berlin is a memorial to commemorate the persecution of the Jews during the Second World War. It consisted of 2711 concrete blocks varying in height from 20 cm to 4.70 meters with a spacing of 95 cm between them. Due to a construction error, a block for investigation was removed and not put back, so that there are now only 2710 concrete blocks. An exhibition space has been set up under the field with the blocks. The American architect Peter Eisenman designed the monument. The field with the undulating blocks evokes, according to him, a sense of disorientation and isolation and is symbolic of the experiences of the Jewish population during the Nazi regime.

This appears to be an old horse mounting block by the gate to someone’s garden. I cannot even begin to count the times we’ve walked passed this and not noticed it before. If it hadn’t have been for the snowdrops we probably never would have spotted it.
I suppose it will come in handy now if anyone should want to climb over the drystone wall.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
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
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 . . .

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