Another from my second flight with a video assisted KAP rig. The first time I flew over this building, I got a couple of frames that were close to this, but not dead-nuts on. With the video screen, I was able to compose this just the way I wanted. This happened during a relatively calm part of the flight. At other times the rig was oscillating wildly, and this would not have been as easy.
I did RAW processing, but also applied a slight horizontal PC tilt to compensate for a not quite directly-down angle (maybe a degree or so off nadir.) The resulting image was then cropped. But no rotation was required.

A smoke stack from an old mining mill stands on a hilltop above the town of Tuscarora. The Indian Creek Fire prompted the evacuation of this historic mining town's few residents, but the town was spared due to the diligent efforts of a unified fire task force consisting of various federal agencies, local volunteers, ranchers, mining operations and the City of Elko resources.
The Qutb Minar is the tallest brick minaret in the world, it is an important example of early Afghan architecture, which later evolved into Indo-Islamic Architecture. The Qutb Minar is 72.5 metres (239 ft) high, has five distinct storeys, each marked by a projecting balcony carried on muqarnas corbel and tapers from a diameter 14.3 metres at the base to 2.7 metres at the top, which is 379 steps away.
Built as a Victory Tower, to celebrate the victory of Mohammed Ghori over the Rajput king, Prithviraj Chauhan, in 1192 AD, by his then viceroy, Qutb-ud-din Aibak, later the first Sultan of Mamluk dynasty. Its construction also marked the end last of Hindu kingdoms in North India, and the beginning of Muslim rule in India, which ended only in the 19th century with the arrival of the British, and even today the Qutb remains one of the most important "Towers of Victory" in the Islamic world. Qutb-ud-din Aibak however, could only build the first storey, for this reason the lower storey is replete with eulogies to Mohammed Ghori. The next three floors were added by his son-in-law and successor, Iltutmish. The minar was first struck by lightning in 1368 AD, which knocked off its top storey, after that it was replaced by the existing two floors by Firoz Shah Tughlaq, a later Sultan of Delhi 1351 to 1388, and faced with white marble and sandstone enhancing the distinctive variegated look of the minar, as seen in lower three storeys. Thus the structure displays a marked variation in architectural styles from Qutb-ud-din Aibak to that of Tughlaq dynasty.
Inscriptions also indicate further repairs by Sultan Sikander Lodi in 1503, when it was struck by lightning once again. In 1802, the cupola on the top was thrown down and the whole pillar was damaged by an earthquake. It was repaired by Major R. Smith of the Royal Engineers who restored the Qutub Minar in 1823 replacing the cupola with a Bengali-style chhatri which was later removed by Governor General, Lord Hardinge in 1848, as it looked out of place, and now stands in the outer lawns of the complex, popularly known as Smith's Folly.

The first day of Hong Kong was pretty harsh because of my jetlag. I was awake for 25 hours and it was 08:00 in the morning. I couldn’t sleep because of the sunlight and went out for a walk in the market in Tai Po. I found these flashy containers where all kinds of meat are being sold.. The locals told me the pink lights are helping the meat looking better, but these lights are actually making it kinda look like brothels selling ‘fresh meat’!

Simone Tebet, pré-candidata do MDB à Presidência da República, ressaltou ontem, em Curitiba, a importância da economia verde para o Brasil. “Temos de mostrar ao mundo que o agronegócio não é o vilão do meio ambiente”, disse. “Ao contrário, um depende do outro.” A afirmação foi feita na noite desta sexta-feira (11/03), em um encontro com empresários, concluído por volta das 21 horas, na sede da Associação Comercial do Paraná (ACP). Participaram do evento integrantes da ACP, presidida por Camilo Turmina, e do Movimento Pró-Paraná, liderado por Marcos Domakoski.
A pré-candidata observou que existe um problema grave e complexo na Amazônia Legal, provocado por grupos de grileiros. “Mas a maior parte da nossa produção não está lá”, ponderou. “Ela está no Sul, no Sudeste, no Centro-Oeste e em regiões do Nordeste.” Para a senadora, a busca por um “selo verde” em particular e do respeito incondicional ao meio ambiente são essenciais para os negócios do Brasil. “Sem isso, as portas do comércio exterior vão se fechar para os nossos produtos e isso já está acontecendo”, frisou. “Assim, temos de avançar com as políticas para fomentar a economia verde e a energia renovável.”
Simone também falou da importância do fortalecimento da indústria do país, até mesmo como uma forma de agregar valor à produção nacional. “Precisamos de um estado amigo de quem produz”, afirmou. “Na verdade, nos falta um governo que conheça o Brasil.” Para ela, é preciso ainda mudar a imagem do país no exterior, hoje abalada por uma série de equívocos na forma de abordar e conduzir as relações internacionais. “Mas ninguém muda isso tratando mal seus vizinhos”, notou. “Não podemos continuar com essa história de, se é de direita, só olha para a Europa, se é de esquerda, só quer saber do Mercosul.”
Em relação à política, a parlamentar criticou o fisiologismo. “Temos de trabalhar com o Congresso”, disse. “Podemos até ter políticos atuando no Executivo, mas com base na competência e na capacidade de execução dos objetivos de determinada pasta.” Simone alertou, contudo, que abraçará pessoalmente o Ministério da Educação, uma área que, como dizem, é transversal e, por isso, central para o desenvolvimento do país.
A pré-candidata, por fim, realçou a importância da democracia e do papel do MDB no momento atual do país. “Eu nasci na década de 1970 e aos 15 anos fui para as ruas lutar por democracia”, disse. “Hoje, vemos a nossa democracia sendo abalada todos os dias e não é só pelo governo. Isso também é feito por uma minoria raivosa da classe política, que só faz promover a polarização entre a direita e a esquerda”, acrescentou. “Mas estou aqui para dizer que o MDB, aquele gigante que lutou contra os cães da ditadura, acordou e está fazendo isso com base em uma nova geração. É isso o que vamos mostrar agora para o país.”
The Richardson Olmsted Complex is located a the center of a large park-like campus on the north side of Buffalo, New York, adjacent to the campus of Buffalo State College. Constructed in 1870 as a mental hospital, the campus's Medina red sandstone and brick structures were built according to the Kirkbride Plan, among grounds that were landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted. Designed by Henry Hobson Richardson, the building was his largest commission during his storied and significant career, and is an early example of the Richardson Romanesque style, which would later bear the name of its creator. The building was home to administrative facilities in the central tower, which is flanked by five pavilions on each side, which progressively stair-step backwards, for a total of 11 structures in the interconnected complex. During its operation, patients were segregated by sex, with Males being housed in the eastern pavilions, and women in the western pavilions. The building remained in use until the mid-1970s, when patients were transferred to more modern facilities elsewhere on the campus, though the central pavilion continued to be used as office space until 1994. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986. The building has been the site of preservation campaigns since the 1960s due to its significance; However, three brick pavilions on the eastern end of the complex were demolished in the 1970s to allow for room to build newer psychiatric facilities on the grounds. The building went through a period of significant and prolonged deterioration and uncertainty between the 1970s and 2008, with the unsecured facility becoming vandalized, decayed, and unsafe. However, in 2008, in the wake of a successful lawsuit filed by the Preservation Coalition of Erie County, the State of New York was forced to commit $100 million in order to rehabilitate the structure. Between the spring of 2008 and the fall of 2012, the complex was stabilized, and in 2013, the South Lawn was converted from parking lots back into the original, verdant green space it was meant to be. In 2017, the first phase of the building's adaptive reuse and rehabilitation was completed, which transformed the central three pavilions into the Hotel Henry and Conference Center, with the Buffalo Architecture Center also opening in the renovated structure. The plans for the complex currently are to convert the remaining intact but vacant pavilions into additional space for the Hotel Henry Urban Resort Conference Center, which will be spectacular once it completely transforms and revitalizes this amazing structure.

The Houppert Winery Complex in Lawton, MI (1940). The first winery in Lawton was founded in 1868, when A. B. Jones planted 100 grapevines. By the turn of the century, many farmers in the area began to cultivate grapes for wine. The original winery on this site was founded in 1903 by the J. R. Day Company, purchased in 1933 by William C. Houppert. At its peak, the old winery took in 200-400 tons of grapes daily. However, it was completely destroyed in a fire on June 7, 1940. The current complex was built in 1940, although Houppert never regained his financial losses. In 1943, he sold the property to the predecessors of Warner Vineyards, which is still active in Paw Paw.

Teotihuacan is one of the most famous and important sites of ancient Mexico, best known for it's enormous Avenue of the Dead and the great pyramids of the Sun and Moon.
Although the site was known in Aztec times as the 'Birthplace of the Gods' it is actually significantly older, with most of the major structures built between 100-250AD and the city, one of the largest ever ancient settlements in the Americas, was believed to have been still inhabited up to the 8th century.
Today the vast scale of the complex, particularly the so called Avenue of the Dead, nearly 3km long and flanked by ancient ruins and terraces, continues to awe visitors. At the north end of the Avenue sits the Pyramid of the Moon, whilst it's much larger counterpart, the Pyramid of the Sun, sits halfway up it's eastern side. At the southern end sits the Ciudadela complex which centres on the smaller pyramid of Quetzelcoatl, earlier and more ruined than the larger pyramids but retaining it's stunning original sculptural decoration on part of it's western face, featuring the iconic feathered serpent heads.
Aside from the great ceremonial structures there are also residential buildings, particularly the palatial complex at the north west corner that retains some vivid fragments of it's original mural decoration.
