I didn't like the way Lloyd's building looks, but then, I'm not a Pompidou Centre fan either (another Rogers building)
Notice the cranes! (the ones next to the building, not the ones on it) The Swiss Re tower won't be the dominant building on this section of the skyline for too much longer. They're for construction of 51 Lime Street (wikipedia), and still more buildings are on the way.

London Heritage Farm is a 4.06 acres (1.64 ha) historical site that contains the 1880s London family farm house and a park overlooking the south arm of the Fraser River. The farmhouse runs a tea room, gift shop and six display rooms. The grounds include heritage and herb gardens, the restored Spragg family barn, antique farming equipment, a small hand tool museum, chickens, Honey and Blue Orchard bees, community gardens/allotments and large lawns as well as picnic tables and public washrooms.
The London farmhouse has been fully restored and furnished to illustrate rural life in Richmond during the 1880 to 1930 era. Six rooms display the furniture, pictures, clothing, quilts and everyday articles of the era.
London Heritage Farm is owned by the City of Richmond and operated by the London Heritage Farm Society. Operations and improvements to the house are financed through donations, the operation of the tea room, gift shop and special events held by the Society.

Amtrak demonstrated the Danish IC3 Flexliners in revenue service between Milwaukee and Chicago on the Hiawatha Service trains during the Summer of 1997. View is from inside the train as it crosses N. Canal Street in Chicago with train No. 330. The former Chicago & North Western office building is visible in the right side of the photo. 6/14/1997
First week of October, 1995. It took me all summer to get this far. The interior is still bare concrete floors and wooden studs at this point.
Many, many people have taken photos of this, but it's still worth doing before it's demolished to make way for Crossrail (the entire block is going).
The Juab County Courthouse in Nephi, Utah was originally erected in 1923 as Nephi High School. It wasn't until 1983 that the building was retrofitted to house the county's seat of justice when the old 1892 courthouse became too small and outdated.
Both the former Exchange Buildings, and the former Corn Exchange, two of Leith's most important buildings of the 19th century, both listed in Category A.
This oil painting was painted en plein air with my friend and fellow artist Mary Weir (Flickr. makeart2011) on a typical Irish day. We had sun, rain and thunder and lightning. Altogether a great fun day's painting!
Destruction of the Vienna State Opera on March 12, 1945

Destruction of the State Opera
The bombing raids on Vienna, which broke out on March 17, 1944, aimed primarily at strategically important traffic and industrial facilities. The major attack of March 12, 1945, however, hit primarily the city center and devastated there in addition to the aimed targets Heinrichshof (Nazi departments) and Hotel Metropol (Gestapo headquarters) also many cultural monuments: Hofburg, St. Stephen's Cathedral, Burgtheater, Museum of Art History, Albertina, Spanish Riding School... Meanwhile, at the Albertina Square, the Philipphof collapsed and buried more than 200 people under its rubble!
State Opera 1945
The neighboring State Opera had escaped a similar fate by a hair's breadth: here struck five explosive and numerous incendiary bombs, destroyed the stage and set the auditorium and the side staircases in flames. Any extinguishing failed. After hydrants and pipes were hit during the attack, there was soon no extinguishing water more. So the fire raged in the opera for two days and two nights. Consequently, the stage house and the auditorium burned down completely, the roofs collapsed. Only the front remained intact - the rest was a ruin. The reconstruction started immediately after the end of the war, despite hunger and hardship, and took up 10 entire years: it was not until 5 November 1955 that Austria finally celebrated the resurrection of "its" State Opera.
Vienna State Opera in 1945
After the reconstruction of the Opera House, the Austrian Federal Theater Administration subsequently compiled a documentary collection, which is now kept in the Archive of the Republic. The majority of them contain 23 boxes of photographs that illuminate the milestones in the construction process from various perspectives. The images are complemented by 5 boxes of files and correspondence from the "Committee for the Reconstruction of the State Opera and the Burgtheater", which cooperates closely with the Federal Theater Administration.
Destruction of Vienna State Opera
The photos presented here reflect the state of construction of the opera in the winter of 1945/46, when the rubble in the interior was almost cleared away and the building fabric was reasonably secured. The two images of the burning opera were recorded on the evening of March 12, 1945 by an unknown firefighter of the Volunteer Fire Department.
Zerstörung der Wiener Staatsoper am 12. März 1945

Zerstörung der Staatsoper
Die am 17. März 1944 losbrechenden Bombenangriffe auf Wien zielten vor allem auf strategisch wichtige Verkehrs- und Industrieanlagen. Der Großangriff vom 12. März 1945 traf jedoch primär die Innenstadt und verwüstete dort neben den anvisierten Zielen Heinrichshof (NS-Dienststellen) und Hotel Metropol (Gestapo-Hauptquartier) auch viele Kulturdenkmäler: Hofburg, Stephansdom, Burgtheater, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Albertina, Spanische Hofreitschule … Am Albertina-Platz stürzte indessen der Philipphof ein und begrub unter seinen Trümmern über 200 Menschen!
Staatsober 1945
Die benachbarte Staatsoper war einem ähnlichen Los nur um Haaresbreite entronnen: Hier schlugen fünf Spreng- und zahlreiche Brandbomben ein, zerstörten das Bühnenhaus und setzten den Zuschauerraum sowie die seitlichen Stiegenhäuser in Flammen. Jede Löschung misslang. Nachdem während des Angriffs auch Hydranten und Leitungen getroffen wurden, gab es bald kein Löschwasser mehr. So wütete das Feuer in der Oper zwei Tage und zwei Nächte lang. Das Bühnenhaus und der Zuschauerraum brannten folglich zur Gänze aus, die Dächer stürzten zusammen. Intakt blieb allein die Vorderfront - der Rest war eine Ruine. Der sofort nach Kriegsende trotz Hunger und Not begonnene Wiederaufbau nahm volle 10 Jahre in Anspruch: Erst am 5. November 1955 konnte Österreich endlich die Wiederauferstehung „seiner“ Staatsoper feiern.
Wr. Staatsoper 1945
Über den Wiederaufbau des Opernhauses stellte die Österreichische Bundestheaterverwaltung nachträglich eine dokumentarische Sammlung zusammen, die heute im Archiv der Republik aufbewahrt wird. Ihr Großteil umfasst 23 Kartons Fotographien, die von unterschiedlichen Perspektiven her die Meilensteine am Aufbauweg beleuchten. Ergänzt werden die Bilder durch 5 Kartons Akten und Korrespondenzen des mit der Bundestheaterverwaltung eng kooperierenden „Komitees für den Wiederaufbau der Staatsoper und des Burgtheaters“.
Zerstörung der Wr. Staatsoper
Die hier präsentierten Fotos spiegeln den Bauzustand der Oper im Winter 1945/46 wider, als schon der Schutt im Inneren so gut wie abgeräumt und die Bausubstanz einigermaßen gesichert waren. Die zwei Bilder der brennenden Oper wurden am Abend des 12. März 1945 von einem unbekannten Feuerwehrmann der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr aufgenommen.

Constructed in 1897-98, the long-vacant Jamaica Savings Bank building "is a fine and particularly exuberant example of the classically inspired Beaux-Arts style strikingly executed in carved limestone and wrought iron, and is one of only a few buildings in the borough of Queens to embrace that architectural aesthetic. Prominently sited on Jamaica Avenue, the bank building is an urbane presence on the neighborhood’s main commercial thoroughfare. Although the four-story structure is relatively small in scale, the imposing design of the facade conveys a monumentality which is appropriately suited to the distinguished image and reputation of the banking institution, while lending the building the formal elegance of a private club or townhouse."
UPDATE (Oct. 2016): The old bank and its two neighbors to the right are being turned into a three-building retail complex. The 10-story tower that stood immediately to the right (visible above) has been knocked down and is being replaced by a structure similar in height to the bank building. Here's a rendering of the proposed development.
