Metro City (美罗城) on the left with its iconic glass ball facade and Taipingyang Digital Plaza (Phase II, 太平洋数码二期) are / were two iconic buildings in the Xujiahui shopping area.
And why "were" above?
Answer: The right building, Taipingyang Digital Plaza Phase II, has been demolished in 2016 and is gone now. Therefore this shot has some historical value 😇.
Also: this was taken from the grand staircase of the Grand Gateway Mall - in the meanwhile that staircase was also removed and is replaced by a massive lobby structure.
Several long exposures combined into one image, due to the time the shot was taken traffic was not that busy...

Regno Unito, Scozia, Edimburgo, Primavera 2023
Victoria Street, nel centro storico di Edimburgo, è uno dei luoghi più fotografati della città. la sua curva dolce e le facciate colorate dei negozi la rendono meta preferita per turisti, cartoline e spot televisivi.
Victoria Street fu costruita tra il 1829-1834 come parte di una serie di miglioramenti al centro storico, con l'obiettivo di migliorare l'accesso alla città. Sul lato nord della strada, vi è una terrazza, sopra una serie di archi che si è successivamente riempita di negozi. Oggi la strada è un incantevole angolo del centro storico, ma ci sono ancora alcuni aspetti di un oscuro passato. Qui vi era la casa del maggiore Weir, un uomo noto come 'il Mago del West Bow', che fu giustiziato per stregoneria nel 1670. Si pensava che la sua casa fosse stata completamente demolita al tempo della costruzione di Victoria Street, ma ora sembra alcune parti siano sopravvissute, nascoste nel Quaker Meeting House sulla terrazza superiore. Un pensiero interessante i turisti in cerca dell'imprevisto.
Victoria Street in Edinburgh Old Town is one of the most photographed locations in the city. Its gentle curve and colourful shopfronts making it favourite spot for tourist photos, postcards and TV adverts.
Victoria Street was built between 1829-34 as part of a series of improvements to the Old Town, with the aim of improving access around the city. On the north side of the street a terrace was built, with a series of arches underneath which were later filled with shops. Today the street is a charming corner of the Old Town, but recent speculation suggests that a relic of its darker past may still exist. This was the location of Major Weir’s house, a man notorious as ‘the Wizard of the West Bow’, who was executed for witchcraft in 1670. It was thought that his house was completely demolished when Victoria Street was built, but it now seems that some parts may still exist, hidden in the Quaker Meeting House on the upper terrace. An intriguing thought for those visiting to shop, dine or looking for the unexpected.
Thundering across a log bridge over the Chemainus River is Locomotive No. 4, an 80-ton Porter 2-6-2T, once the pride of the Victoria Lumber & Manufacturing Co. Ltd.’s Copper Canyon Railway System.
Chemainus was the delivery point of the first, the last, and the longest enduring rail logging operation in BC.
The original mural was destroyed when the building was demolished. It rose again; windows and the air conditioner were painstakingly filled in; new technology was used to recreate it, and the mural moved to its present location in 2017. Artist: Paul Marcano.
En Septembre, j'ai fait plusieurs photos des murales de Chemainus- Un petite ville sur l'ile de Vancouver. Chemainus compte 63 murales...
I believe these were the last two surviving buildings in downtown Ponta. (Pronounced pon-TAY) The small town town flourished as a shipping center in the early 1900s and into the 1920s. During and after the great depression they gradually lost all of their industry and commercial businesses. Their post office closed in 1972. These commercial buildings were demolished not long after this photo was taken in 2010-2011.

You can find the Bonne-Chière mill in Bruges on the 'Kruisvest', on the outskirts of the city. The mill has been built in 1844 and served as a corn and oil mill. The mill was origianlly from another town nearby, 'Olsene' it was demolished there and rebuilt on its current place in 1911 to replace a mill that was damaged due to a heavy weather storm in 1903. On its current location the mill has never been used, it's only there as a tourist attraction.
The mill has three so called attics: the stone floor, where the grinding seats are located, the grinding floor where the flour was collected, and the lower loft that was used to stack bags. The mill is not open to the public. You can find it at this address: Kruisvest, Bruges.
In total there are 4 mills on the Bruges 'Kruisvest' The other ones are The Sint-Janshuismolen, De Nieuwe Papegaai ( The New Parrot) and the Koelewei mill. (from Amazing Belgium)
The fortifications of the town were built after the Mongol Invasion. It had four gates, which opened to the south, west, north and northeast. The plain of the town slightly slopes north, so the southern gate, which was located on the highest point, was called Upper Gate, while the northeastern gate, which was located on the lowest point, was called Lower Gate. The walls were defended by wide moats.
The trade road coming from the central regions of Hungary left the town towards Poland through the Lower Gate. From the town gate a little wooden bridge led to a half-round barbican, which still stands, surrounded by moats. From the barbican a drawbridge led across the moat. After the fortifications of the town lost their significance, the wooden bridges over the moats were demolished and a new stone bridge was raised with two 5-metres wide arches in 1821. A similar stone bridge was built to connect the barbican with the town but it had only one arch.
March 1984.
Liverpool Ice Rink is at the left.
The building's history was quite interesting.
It opened in 1928 as a dance hall called the Palais de Danse, but it closed just after a year, to reopen in 1929 as the Casino Roller Skating Rink.
The Casino being the name of the cinema next door.
See: www.flickr.com/photos/44435674@N00/227163139/in/set-72157...
Roller Skating only lasted until 1930.
After being closed for just over a year it reopened in 1931 as the Casino Ice Rink, and closed just two years later.
The building was again closed for a year and reopened in 1934 as a Mission Hall for a short while.
Renamed the Liverpool Palace Ice Rink it reopened in 1935, to be renamed Silver Blades Ice Rink in 1960, and finally Liverpool Ice Rink in 1978.
The final owner wanted Liverpool City Council to take it over, which didn't happen, so it was closed in 1986 and demolished in 1990.
All three buildings in this photo have been demolished.

The Conservatory was designed by Superintendent Ira Thornicroft, and completed in 1939. Its walls are built of sandstone salvaged from a demolished section of the Hobart General Hospital. It house a fine collection of ferns and orchids.
This photo has not been cropped. I've simply made use of the 16:9 wide format selection this camera offers.
I received a message from Cody last evening that two of the elevators in Warner are coming down, very few of these prairie giants remain......and this just happened to the last elevator row that was left in Alberta.
You can learn more about how you can help the plight of these prairie icons:
The first lighthouse in Iceland was built on Valahnúkur in Reykjanes in the year 1878. By 1905 earthquakes and surf had damaged Valahnúkur so much that there was the risk of the lighthouse falling into the sea.
A new lighthouse was therefore built in 1907-1908 on Bæjarfell hill in Reykjanes and the old one was demolished with an explosion on april 16th 1908.
Smoke caused by a fire during demolition. About 20 fire trucks and rescue vehicles are parked to the right of this photo. Smoke is bellowing out of the building...did not make the news.
I spotted this derelict building and thought it would be a great grungy photo backdrop. But I didn’t get in quick enough and it’s fully fenced and mostly demolished now. Photo for posterity.
49 Huqiu Rd., Shanghai
This is a patch of buildings to be demolished in the heart of Shanghai. All the residents and merchants have been moved out. The original shops along the street have been replaced with walls made of concrete blocks. The local government has hired a group of painters to paint murals on the concrete walls where the shops have been removed. This painter is depicting a view of Shanghai near the buildings to be demolished. The idea of sealing off real but old buildings and replacing them with beautiful landscapes murals to show the beauty of the city is one that has been practised in many parts of Shanghai.
By the way, civil servants working for the district where these buildings are located have not been paid their full salaries for several months now. Yet projects like this still go on.

Wild guess here - i think the two rusty circular objects below the cross piece where the radiator would be are horns. Any ideas? Is this a Mercury?
Shorncliffe Pier goes back a long way in time and several years ago, the old one was totally demolished and replaced by new, almost to the same design but in modern materials. It sits below one of the sea cliffs that are part of the suburban coastline in Brisbane's northern suburbs from Shorncliffe, Sandgate and through to Brighton. It juts out into Moreton Bay and is the starting point of the annual Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht race.
This shot shows it in October 2021, blocked off to the public and ready for the "Long Dinner", a posh event held in good weather I hope. I still haven't identified if it raises money for anything but I know you have to dress up in clothes that at my age, I am no longer likely to have in my wardrobe!
Moreton Island can be seen in the distance.
Who's been eating our parsley? OK, I'll put my hand up, it was me!
Not sure what this tiny little insect is, however it is only a couple of mm in length and really enjoying our parsley.
The colourful buildings are ready for demolish, as all the residents had moved out of their homes - Rochor Canal, Singapore
The final remnant of the Russell Court Hotel in Belfast. It opened in 1972 at the height of The Troubles - and was bombed out a month later. It reopened, but was bombed yet again in 1976, and never reopened as a hotel after that. Subsequently it had various uses, including a pub (I was there a few times as a student) and sheltered housing. But now it’s being completely demolished to make way for a new building.
