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.

In 2017, the tug was acquired by Murtech Incorporated of Salisbury, Maryland. Where she retained her name
Yesterday was a great day of dirt roads, rolling flint hills, distinctive stone-built towns, and evocative ruined homes and burnt out cathedrals.
It was a great day...
Built around 1508 to 1512 and over looking the Kilbrannan Sound on the Kintyre peninsular East coast.
Built in 1729 and a center for revolutionary debate, the Old South Meeting House stands as a landmark at the corner of Washington Street and Milk Street in the city's traditional central business district, today surrounded by neighbors of seemingly every era of the city's transformation from colonial outpost to thriving modern metropolis. Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Construido en 1729 y un centro de debate revolucionario, Old South Meeting House se erige como un punto de referencia en la esquina de la Calle Washington y Calle Milk en el tradicional distrito comercial central de la ciudad, hoy rodeado por vecinos de aparentemente todas las épocas de la transformación de la ciudad de un puesto colonial a una próspera metrópolis moderna. Boston, Massachusetts, Estados Unidos.
Built circa 1798, this Federal-style brick manse was built by wealthy Revolutionary War hero Christopher Gadsden as a wedding gift for his son. The house remained in the Gadsden family into the mid-20th Century, upon which it was sold as part of the Ansonborough revitalization and restoration projects being carried out by the Historic Charleston Foundation. The house was adaptively reused as apartments and office space, which remained in the building until 2014. The building was then renovated to serve as a private event venue.
Built in 1951, Birmingham City Transport Daimler CVD6, registration JOJ 707. It was preserved in 1971.
China, Harbin, China, Harbin, the "Ice Cathedral" with its about 80 mtr tall steeple at the “Ice & Snow World” across the Song Hua River is Part of the Harbin Ice Lantern Festival, at Night all Sculptures are colourful lighted with LED.
“Ice & Snow World” across the Song Hua River is Part of the Harbin Ice Lantern Festival, at Night all Sculptures are colourful lighted with LED. Over a 100.000 Tones of Ice Blocks cut from the Song Hua River are used for the Festival Sculptors & Carvings from January till End of February, it is one of the largest of its kind & most interesting one in the World.
It was said that some Fishermen made rough & simple Ice-Lanterns of ice just for lighting, with the Time passed, Ice-Lanterns embodied their Cultural Features & artistic Fascination gradually. The making of Ice-Lanterns & Ice Sculptures started in the 1960s.
Harbin is an interesting Chinese City in the Heilongjiang Province Northwest of China & is strongly influenced by Russian Citizen which first immigrated to Harbin a 120 Years ago.
Harbin was the birthplace of Jin (1115-1234) & Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties, the latter of which had a very considerable influence on modern Chinese history. At the end of the 19th century, Russia built the terminus of the Middle East Railway here. Later, more than 160,000 foreigners from 33 countries migrated to Harbin, promoting the development of a capitalist economy in the city. The economy & culture of Harbin achieved unprecedented prosperity at that time & the city gradually grew into a famous international commercial port. Assimilating external culture, Harbin created its unique & exotic cityscape. The majestic St. Sofia Orthodox Church & Zhongyang Dajie each built in a European style have the effect of bringing you into an 'eastern Moscow'. Even though you are sure to be attracted by various exotic buildings, the Dragon Tower which embodies the wisdom of the Chinese people is a must on your journey.

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.
Another shot of the historic police hut in Arrowtown. Built in 1863 it is the oldest wooden structure in Arrowtown and constructed from pit-sawn red beech. It was originally part of a police camp but the exact use of the building isn’t known. It is said to have been used for storing gold during the gold rush.
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 circa 1901, this Classical Revival and Romanesque Revival-style three-flat stands along Kenmore Avenue in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. The building features a buff brick facade with rusticated brownstone trim, a rusticated brownstone base, a curved exterior wall and windows at the south end of the front facade, an arched porch opening supported by a brownstone column with a sullivanesque capital, an roman arched first-floor window with a leaded glass transom, shallowly arched second-floor windows with decorative brick surrounds and brownstone keystones, with brick corbeling below the center window, rectangular third-floor windows with brownstone sills and lintels, and brick corbeling at the top of the parapet. This building is an atypical variation of the three-story housing type that is relatively common in Chicago, known as “three flats” after the one-story housing units contained inside houses divided up into multiple housing units.

Built in 1958, this small power plant was later on combined into and became the famous Shanghai Chongming Electric Company. The original plant had 3 stem turbine generators and 2 diesel generators, and in 1971 it was expanded to the current scale.
Due to the growing needs of clean power and technology developments in China, the plant was closed in 2018. For these 6 steam turbines in the main hall (13, 14 A and B, 15 A and B, 16), they were shut down in December 2010.
(10 and 12 are in an older hall in a separate building, however I have no idea where 1-9 is located, might be dismantled).

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.
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 1936. Jubilee Class. 4-6-0.
Finally got around to photographing steam trains. Unlike jets and nature this subject comes with a timetable.
Thanks to all who have visited, commented or faved my photos. (It would be nice if you left a comment too) It is very much appreciated. Constructive criticism welcome
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)

#legoDcbrickscontestforthewin
This was built for DCbricks contest. (Got full conned and never got my prize hmmm)
I've wanted to do this build for a while now, and having the chance to possibly win a prize was what motivated me to finally build this. I've tried to be as accurate to the show as possible and I think I have done a pretty good job of doing that. There are only a few things that I'm not too happy with and that is that it feels somewhat bare in the front and the floors not black like it is in the show, which is due to the fact that I just don't have enough black pieces to cover that amount of space.
. I'll release some closeup detail photos tomorrow as Its somewhat hard to appreciate some of the smaller details in this moc.
Edit was done by Dayton, link to his stream- www.flickr.com/photos/113172675@N06/
Sorry for the inactiveness over the past month, I've been busy working on another Moc (Hint, its Apoc) which has occupied most of my time.
Comments are greatly appreciated :)
-Thanks Tristan

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.

Built in 1856 to house the collection of the prestigious Salem Athenaeum, the handsome Italianate building was sold to the Essex Institute in 1906 and housed its museum galleries and administrative offices until 1992 when the Essex Institute and the Peabody Museum merged to become the Peabody Essex Museum. Today the PEM, as one of the oldest continuously operating museums in the United States, is also one of its most prestigious, with one of the major collections of Asian art in the country. Salem, Massachusetts, USA.
