I'm so glad we went to the 1 World Observatory in the evening. I like the light and shadows that the evening sun cast.
I was shooting through glass and had to deal with reflections and fingerprints, but the view was well worth those issues.
The ESB is about 3 miles away from from me as I shoot.

The ICC Building towers above its surroundings in Kowloon, Hong Kong. I really enjoy isolating parts of cities to create more unique shots.
Enjoy! :)

On the banks of the Nile 12km south of the city, Maadi has the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt, Cairo Rugby Club, the Egyptian Geological Museum and, in a country which doesn't yet know what to do with alcohol, a few pubs. It's a well-to-do expat area with tourist spots (you can get haram bacon and eggs) and residences with green lawns and trees.
These are mostly hotels, as we're on the banks of the Nile - the view on the other side, where the pyramids can be seen in the distance. But look anywhere in Cairo and there's a sea of 8- or 15- storey apartment blocks which look unfinished due to the Egyptian 'custom' of allowing the next generation to build on top. Since the tax law changes when a building is completed, most are never 'finished' and have some sort of foundations sticking out of the top.

It's hard to ignore the Empire State Building.Wherever you go across the city, it seems to pop up! :)
Very few people have been here since 2008.
Underneath the concrete cap you see on the East side of Booth street on Chaudière Island, next to the boarded up board mill.
Photo is a composite of multiple light-painted frames combined in an HDR-like process... there was absolutely no light in this sub-grade, sub-water-table building, however humidity was about 100%, so the light sources illuminated a lot of moisture in the air... added that the other worker with me was using a strobe to take photos of the walls, and we both were wearing high-visibility reflective vests, a significant amount of editing was required to produce this image.
The Rookery Building, Chicago, Il. The site of a reception for the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, for which I was the photographer . This building was a remodel for Frank Lloyd Wright and has an incredible glass covered atrium space. More pictures coming soon.
The Flatiron building is one of the most photographed buildings in New York. This inspired me to make a multiple layered image which consists of several photos of the iconic building. New York 2007.

I do not follow the micropolis standard. If I did, it would not be possible to build a hill like this, with a cross-section. However, for our collaborative build, it does not matter. We have a fixed depth of 96 studs for Pluppsala, so my section just need to fit with other modules on its long sides.
A few old buildings placed in a new environment, but the terraced house has doubled in size, and I made second small, white house.
The twisted tower and the small building with a Duplo muffin cup roof are new. The muffin cup is a piece I have wanted to use for a while.
The historic Black Swan pub in Peasholme Green, York. The building dates from the 15th century, and the earliest record of its use as a pub was in 1763. Beyond it is the curved glass facade of the new Hiscox insurance building - an extreme contrast in architectural styles.

According to Wikipedia, Santa Maria della Salute, commonly known simply as La Salute, was built by the Republic of Venice as a votive offering for the city's deliverance from the unusually devastating 1630 outbreak of the plague. The church was designed in the then fashionable baroque style by Baldassare Longhena, who studied under the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi. Construction began in 1631 and completed in 1687. Most of the objects of art housed in the church bear references to the Black Death.
The vaporetto (Venice's version of a city bus) makes a scheduled stop at La Salute. We took the opportunity to stop there, capture a few images from the end of the piazzetta in front of the church and capture more images inside. This panorama was created using Photoshop CS6 to stitch together vertically two landscape-oriented images.
A Personal Note: After seeing the church's beautiful exterior and outstanding setting, I was disappointed at the somber interior colors and ornamentation. But, I guess that after the toll the 1630 plague had taken (1/3 of the population was dead) the Venetians were not in the mood for ornamentation and festive colors.
St Nicholas is a fine cruciform church, though it has lost its crossing tower (replaced by the present Perpendicular west tower, one assumes). Although there are the usual later windows dotted around, the main body seems to be Early English. One enters through a nice doorway with lots of semi-engaged columns and moulded arches
