Détails de la façade du Jenners Department Store, 40 Princes Street, Édimbourg, Écosse. Une vue à partir de Princes street.
Maintenant connu sous le nom de Jenners, il a été le plus ancien grand magasin indépendant en Ecosse jusqu'à son acquisition par House of Fraser en 2005.
Surnommé le Harrods of the North, il fut fondé en 1838 par Charles Jenner and Charles Kennington mais, après un feu, dût en 1895 s’installer dans l’édifice actuel dessiné par l’architecte écossais William Hamilton Beattie. Celui-ci agrémenta la façade victorienne de nombreuses caryatides féminines en hommage aux femmes formant la principale clientèle du magasin.
New Town est un quartier du centre historique situé au nord de la Vieille ville. Chef-d'œuvre d'urbanisme, il a été construit par étapes entre 1767 et 1850 environ et conserve une grande partie de son architecture d'origine néoclassique et georgienne dans ses anciens hôtels particuliers aujourd'hui occupés en majorité par des bureaux. Sa rue la plus connue est Princes Street, face au château d'Édimbourg et à la Vieille Ville à travers la dépression géologique de l'ancien Nor’Loch.
La ville d’Édimbourg, capitale de l’Écosse depuis 1532, est construite sur des collines volcaniques. Alors que la Vieille ville (cité) s'est construite autour de l'imposant crag d’origine glacière (Castle Rock) et sa forteresse dont les fondations remontent au 7e siècle ainsi que de sa queue (Royal Mile), on dit souvent que la ville moderne est construite sur sept collines, à savoir Calton Hill, Corstorphine Hill, Craiglockhart Hill, Braid Hill, Blackford Hill, Arthur's Seat et Castle Rock, donnant lieu à des allusions aux sept collines de Rome.
Avec l’Old Town, la New Town a été désignée site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 1995 (WHL-728). La ville est le siège du Parlement écossais depuis le rétablissement de celui-ci en 1999.

Departmental grey livery 33101 gets away from Salisbury with the 11.15 Waterloo-Exeter St Davids service on 29/12/92.
Bescot - Toton departmental just gets a little light at Lea Marston. The location never disappoints, the mist rising off the river at sunset was a bit of a first for me, it had been misty all day and this rose just before the sun went down, I guess the air got colder very quickly and helped the unusual conditions. An aeroplane departing from Birmingham is in the sky. Thanks to gen providers.

Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda, Vallespir, Occitanie, France.
Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda es una localidad y comuna francesa situada en el departamento de Pirineos Orientales y la región de Occitania, en la comarca del Vallespir. Tenía 3.683 habitantes en 2007.
Administrativamente, pertenece al distrito de Céret, al cantón de Arles-sur-Tech y a la Communauté de communes du Haut Vallespir.
La comuna se localiza en el valle del Tech, en el corazón del Vallespir, al oeste de Céret. Puede accederse a ella por la carretera departamental 115. Antes de ser desmantelada en el siglo XX, también contaba con servicios de ferrocarril. Está prevista una vía verde que siga el recorrido de la antigua vía férrea (hasta Arles-sur-Tech).
En realidad, Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda se compone de tres municipios antaño separados: Amélie, Palalda (anexado en 1942) y Montalba (anexado en 1962). Por ello, el paisaje comunal es bastante variado. La mayoría de la población se concentra a orillas del Tech. Cabe destacar la formación geológica de las las gargantas del Mondony.
Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda is a French commune and town located in the Pyrénées-Orientales department and the Occitania region, in the Vallespir region. It had 3,683 inhabitants in 2007.
Administratively, it belongs to the Céret district, the canton of Arles-sur-Tech and the Communauté de communes du Haut Vallespir.
The commune is located in the Tech Valley, in the heart of the Vallespir, west of Céret. It can be accessed by departmental highway 115. Before being dismantled in the 20th century, it also had railway services. A greenway is planned to follow the route of the old railway (up to Arles-sur-Tech).
In reality, Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda is made up of three once separate municipalities: Amélie, Palalda (annexed in 1942) and Montalba (annexed in 1962). For this reason, the communal landscape is quite varied. Most of the population is concentrated on the banks of the Tech. It is worth noting the geological formation of the Mondony gorges.
This police barracks in Savannah, Georgia was opened in 1870 and is still in use today. The classic cars however are just for display.
I was going to add a description before posting this, but just realized I forgot to mark this as private...
But, I guess I don't have much to add anyway. I happened to be driving around southwest Detroit and noticed the smoke about a mile away from this house fire. I managed to get quite a few shots from the alley behind the house where a small crowd had gathered. Unfortunately, this happens way too often in Detroit.
Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. Not happy with this one, but will have to do for now as I wanted a general shot of the department building and I did find the staircase interesting!
