The original Párisi Udvar (Parisian Court) was built in Budapest 100 years ago as a department store. From 1909, the City Savings Bank occupied the site, which was developed by German architect Henrik Schmahl. The arcade is two stories high, with a vaulted roof made of coloured glass and a striking hexagonal glass dome designed by Miksa Róth. The crystal glass domes of the passage create a special atmosphere. The floors have beautiful mosaic tiles, and there are balconies, and windows with bar tracery, pediments, and sculptures. You can also see reliefs of bees, symbolizing thrift, a reference to the bank that commissioned the construction. Henrik Schmahl sure wasn't in a thrifty mood when he created this masterpiece.
The building is now part of the unbound collection by Hyatt, and the passage is open to the public.

" Zeph wandered inland on the jungle island. He was still rather disgusted by the task he was given, but gathered his nerves and mumbled to himself, "A delicacy is a delicacy I guess...even if it is monkey brain."
He pushed his way through a growth of oversized ferns and entered a small clearing. Before him rose a carved stone effigy of a grinning face. Staring at it, he didn't like the odd smile it was giving him. He shook his head and looked around. To his surprise he saw a hairy face staring down from the growth atop the ancient carving.
"Don't suppose your going to come down and make this easy," Zeph said aloud as he looked for a good path up the stone structure.

Plodding north on the former Milwaukee Road's mainline into Michiganâs Upper Peninsula, an Escanaba & Lake Superior train for Channing saunters into in Randville. Guiding the train through the woods of the Upper Peninsula is ELS 501, former Milwaukee Road SD40-2 No. 22, built 7 years before the Milwaukee sold this line to the E&LS in 1980. When it was new for the Milwaukee Road, the unit was one of ten Locotrol master SD40-2s on the railroad's roster. After the Milwaukee folded into the Soo Line in 1985, the unit became that railroad's 6306 before going to EMD Leasing before coming to the E&LS.

Built in 1949. In August 1986, the 2500-A was donated to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum. It is used often to pull trains for the North Shore Scenic Railroad.
The massive roof beams in this 14th century tithe barn in Lacock village, Wiltshire, UK supported a structure that was built to last. This ceiling was restored in 2007 using the same methods & materials as the original, including wooden oak pegs. I'm glad that I looked up while I visited and didn't miss this awesome ceiling!
Custom built Master Chief HALO minifigure.
I bought this customized armor & helmet from a local supplier in Australia, though he does not leave any info regarding who makes these. Can anyone recognize these pieces & maybe let me know who made this cast?
Anyhow, I built the rest of him, added details & painted it.

Okay so the title was a given. ;-)
Little did I know that the elderly owner of this self-made and very rusty truck was sitting nearby having a smoke and watching me with considerable curiosity as I spent about 15 minutes getting in close to take photographs. He came over eventually and explained how he'd built it himself over 20 years ago but had never seen anyone take photos of it so I showed him how the rust, stains and textures make for great shots. I think he was quietly proud and happy to oblige :-)
Built a little cyber alien avi thinking of a dear friend I lost a year ago today... This was one of her most favorite things in SL. I miss her creativity, but most of all I just miss her. I miss you Sam ♥
During those first horrible days…during those early numbing weeks…during those initial months where there seems to be no bottom to the depths of your pain, it seems that desperate sadness has always been with you, and always will be with you. It’s hard to imagine a world in which grief isn’t all encompassing.
But, love comes before grief.
It seems that the pain of grief is the strongest emotion you’ve ever felt. It’s not.
Grief is merely an echo of the louder love that came before. Grief is no more than a paler reflection of the vivid love you felt initially.
Grief is but a shadow. Sometimes an infinitely dark, black shadow with sheer edges that cut you from the rest of the world. But remember, there is no shadow without light, and the brighter the source the more defined the line of shade. The initial bright love inside of you, and is still there now.
“Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow; but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief, and heals them.”
Know that as painful as the grief may be at a given moment, that emotion can never be stronger than the love that was there first; that love is still there, and can be a source of strength.
Love comes before grief…
…And love will be there after.
Built in the 1870s, famous for its fine selection of real ales.

Built in 2000 as SD70MAC 773 and renumbered to 4573, the EMD was leading a northbound through Sullivan in 2009. It was rebuilt as a SD70ACC.
It is a rare EMD on a GE dominated railroad.
Built in 1852 by Joel Smith as a Tavern (Inn) on the stagecoach route between Chicago and St. Louis,Mo., it acquired the name since it was roughly halfway between the 2 cities. Also known as the Sulphur Springs Hotel,due to there being three springs located behind the building. Abraham Lincoln stayed here,and possibly Edward,the Prince of Wales, while on a hunting trip in the U.S. in 1860. In 1862,the building was sold, and was converted to a farmhouse. In 1902, Henry Zimmerman bought the property,and it was while he was tilling the land that Indian artifacts were found. Subsequent digging and excavating revealed that this was the site of the village known as Kaskaskia, home to around 20,000 Illinois Indians at it's peak. It was here that Father Marquette set up a mission in 1674, only to die a year later from illness contracted during the winter of 1674 (spent in a hastily built hut at what was to become Chicago). In 1700,the village was abandoned by the natives, and a new village of Kaskaskia (still a city today) was formed along the Mississippi River.
The Bayon is a richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the late 12th or early 13th century as the state temple of the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the center of Jayavarman's capital, Angkor Thom. Following Jayavarman's death, it was modified and augmented by later Hindu and Theravada Buddhist kings in accordance with their own religious preferences.
The Bayon's most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and smiling stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak. The temple has two sets of bas-reliefs, which present a combination of mythological, historical, and mundane scenes. The main conservatory body, the Japanese Government Team for the Safeguarding of Angkor (the JSA) has described the temple as "the most striking expression of the baroque style" of Khmer architecture, as contrasted with the classical style of Angkor Wat. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayon)
Built on land purchased in 1886 following the closure of the Port Arthur Penal Settlement by an English potter from Staffordshire, James Price. Following the death of Price, the kiln was used by local fisherman as a storeage until it in part collapsed. In 1982, it was fully restored but has never been put to use due to the fragility of the historic bricks.
Built in 1895, this Gothic Revival-style building was built for the Conklin family, and features a red brick exterior, bonnet roof with exposed rafter tails, blind gothic arches, rusticated stone sills and lintels, first floor retail storefronts with decorative cornices, one-over-one and casement replacement windows, a stone base and recessed brick panels around many of the second floor windows. The building is a contributing structure in the State Street Historic District, listed on the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places.
Built for Air Canada as C-GAGN in 1991 and seen here lifting off from Runway 27L at London Heathrow (LHR) as HGO555 to Frankfurt Hahn (HHN).
Built in 1854, this refined hotel overlooking the Hudson River is a 3-minute walk from the Amtrak, station and 3 miles from the restaurants and shops in Rhinebeck.
Built in 1930, this Gulf Service Station was constructed for Carson Rose, who built the gas station along what was then United States Highway 25 (formerly Dixie Highway) in the town of Tazewell, Tennessee. The gas station operated until 1956, after which the structures housed various businesses. The building features a red brick exterior, buff brick accents, three-over-one double-hung windows, a front canopy with brick columns, a cornice with modillions, a concrete base, and two antique gas pumps at the front of the building. The building was restored by the town of Tazewell as a museum around the turn of the 21st Century, and today, the building is one of the best preserved historic gas stations in the United States.

The Riverside Drive Viaduct, built in 1900 by the US City of New York, was constructed to connect an important system of drives in Upper Manhattan by creating a high-level boulevard extension of Riverside Drive over the barrier of Manhattanville Valley to the former Boulevard Lafayette in Washington Heights.
F. Stuart Williamson was the chief engineer for the municipal project, which constituted a feat of engineering technology. Despite the viaduct's important utilitarian role as a highway, the structure was also a strong symbol of civic pride, inspired by America’s late 19th-century City Beautiful movement. The viaduct’s original roadway, wide pedestrian walks and overall design were sumptuously ornamented, creating a prime example of public works that married form and function. An issue of the Scientific American magazine in 1900 remarked that the Riverside Drive Viaduct's completion afforded New Yorkers “a continuous drive of ten miles along the picturesque banks of the Hudson and Harlem Rivers.”[1]
The elevated steel highway of the viaduct extends above Twelfth Avenue from 127th Street (now Tiemann Place) to 135th Street and is shouldered by masonry approaches. The viaduct proper was made of open hearth medium steel, comprising twenty-six spans, or bays, whose hypnotic repetition is much appreciated from underneath at street level. The south and north approaches are of rock-faced Mohawk Valley, N.Y., limestone with Maine granite trimmings, the face work being of coursed ashlar. The girders over Manhattan Explore - #40
Street (now 125th Street) were the largest ever built at the time. The broad plaza effect of the south approach was designed to impart deliberate grandeur to the natural terminus of much of Riverside Drive’s traffic as well as to give full advantage to the vista overlooking the Hudson River and New Jersey Palisades to the west.
The viaduct underwent a two-year long reconstruction in 1961 and another in 1987. (source: Wikipedia)

Built as a LIM2 Polish copy of the MiG-15bis, this aircraft served with Polish Air Force. In 1986 it moved to North Weald by new owners Aces High and became G-BMZF on the British civil register, but never used as such.
In 1987 the aircraft arrived at the Fleet Air Arm Museum having been bought for inclusion in a Korean War exhibition. The Polish markings were removed and the aircraft was repainted in North Korean markings and put on display.
The Australian-built replica of James Cook's HMB Endeavour is one of the world's most accurate maritime replica vessels.
When you come on board you may wonder whether James Cook and his crew have just stepped ashore somewhere on their voyage. The table is set, clothes are hung and the cat is slumbering.
On board the beautifully crafted ship, you glimpse a sailor's life during one of history's great maritime adventures, Captain Cook's epic 1768-71 world voyage. Look and you'll see almost 30 kilometres of rigging and 750 wooden blocks or pulleys! The masts and spars carry 28 sails that spread approximately 10,000 sq feet (930 m2) of canvas.
In the galley below is the huge stove, called a firehearth - state of the art in 1768. The Great Cabin is where Cook worked and dined, sharing the space with famous botanist Joseph Banks, as you can see when you glance around.
Construction of the Endeavour replica began in 1988 and the ship was launched 5 years later.
I built this little pig initially for a different category, but I liked the thing so much I decided to use it on a vignette. So this is my entry for the 12x12 Vignette category in this year's Summer Joust.

The ZIPP 2001 is, to me, arguably the sexiest and most aerodynamic bicycle frame ever designed. Mounted it on my trainer and did an 80-min Spinerval session. We went really fast standing still! ;-P
Excerpts from Zack Vestal's Tech Feature – A Zipp through time
The 2001 frame was unlike anything previously available. With a massive wing-shaped downtube, no seat tube and a flexible beam acting as both a top tube and perch for the saddle, the wild frame was not widely accepted in the very traditional ranks of pro road riders. But it was a hit on the upstart triathlon scene and came to embody the technologically progressive Zipp brand in the 1990s.
Hallways in the building testify to the Zipp company’s early success.
“The cool thing about the Zipp bike coming out of the early 90s is how modern it is: the cables routed behind the stem, the rear brake under the chainstay,” said Poertner. Both of these features can be found on current aero bikes. “These bikes were very special, very expensive and only about 200 were made per year,” he continued. “These were literally made alongside noseboxes and wings for racecars, for the whole time they were being made.”
Each frame required 45 to 50 hours of labor and the cost was extraordinary, even by today’s standards. But this no-holds-barred approach to the pursuit of technology and the commitment to domestic production, set the tone for Zipp’s approach to the cycling market in the ensuing years.
In fact, continuing the technological progression even farther, the 1996 Zipp 3001 frameset marked the first non-aerospace use of boron incorporated with carbon fiber. The heavier material is quite strong in compression and has recently been used again, in modern carbon road bars, to reinforce the stem clamp zone.
The UCI eventually outlawed the design and the frame was discontinued at the end of 1997. But not before multiple Hawaii Ironman victories and time trial championships established the Zipp name at the head of the class in aerodynamic development.
