Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Imperial Hotel at the corner of Fort and Queen Street in Auckland, New Zealand; Now a part of the National Historic Places Trust, It is still operational, but now offers accommodation to backpackers. The building has served as a social centre for the city for more than 125 years, and remains a popular watering hole and communal lounge.
The hotel has historic significance: It was developed on a shoreline that was once responsible for bringing goods and other supplies into the area. Since the building housed offices for important organizations including the Harbour Board and the Gas Board, it served as the administrative centre of the city, as well as the social centre. The creation and housing of the Auckland Harbour Board in 1871 played a considerable role in the city’s economic development.
The former hotel is also of architectural importance. The Webb Buildings that adjoined the hotel and became part of it in 1954 with the bar expansion show the architecture of James Wrigley. They are one of the only commercial properties Wrigley designed.
The Imperial Hotel was added to the National Historic Places Trust on September 10, 1987.
Tucked into the mountains of Iwate Prefecture near the under visited, stunning Sanriku Coast in eastern Japan is the Iwate Development Railway.
Established in 1939, the railway operated passenger and limestone transport from its mine in Iwate Ishibashi, to the cement plant at the port city of Ofunato for a total of 11km in length. The line suffered severe damage during the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami. In fact, photos of debris covering the top of this bridge can be found online. The railway was brought back just 8 months after the quake and has been going strong since.
Two trains, pulled by DD56 Centercabs, shuttle 18 car limestone trains back and forth from the mine to the cement plant around 12-18 times a day. Here a midday empty train crosses over the Sakari River bridge bound for the mine for another load of rocks.

Testing out the Canon 5D in daily situations. This was taken on a lot next to my daughter's school - the far background is around the Las Vegas strip. Lots of construction going on notwithstanding the bad economy.

more than 30 years ago a trip to the province meant stepping back in time . provincial life was a laid back rural community. people in those days will take a stroll in the park just before dusk and would normally be home before it gets too dark. so for the city dweller a quick break in the province is a welcome relief from the busy , chaotic city life. fast forward 30 years later, 2019, this is how most popular provinces look now, new malls, more establishments and other modern conveniences, a replica of a major city in a smaller scale.
The Block 10 mine, one of the original BHP leases, was floated as the BHP Block 10 Co. Ltd in 1888. A concentration mill was erected at the mine in the 1890s to treat sulphide ore. Underground subsidence seriously affected the mill and, as a result, a new mill was erected on this hill in 1903, about 600 metres from the mine.
An aerial ropeway, the first at Broken Hill, was completed in 1904. This transported broken ore from the mine to a large storage bin above the mill. The mill cost £50 000 and could treat 3500 tons of ore per week.
The mine produced 2.5 million tons of ore and paid £1.5 million in dividends up to 1923 when it and the mill closed and were purchased by BHP. The mine was reworked by Broken Hill South Ltd between 1946 and 1960. Much of the mine site is now covered by overburden dumps from modern open-cut operations.
The concrete foundations on site are the remnants of the Block 10 concentration mill erected in 1903. The mill, designed by Captain John Warren and containing many of his inventions, was the first all electric mill in Broken Hill.
The aerial ropeway delivered broken ore from the mine to a storage bin above the mill. Broken ore was fed to crushing rolls and then passed to cylindrical trommels and hydraulic classifiers for sizing. Subsequent treatment consisted of wet concentration by jigs, Wilfley tables and vanners. These relied on specific gravity to separate the heavier lead and silver minerals from the zinc minerals. The resultant concentrate contained about two-thirds of the lead and one-half of the silver in the original ore, but very little zinc.
Flotation units were added to the mill in 1910 to produce a zinc concentrate from the tailings. Combined gravity-flotation concentration mills were standard at Broken Hill until after 1930 when the first all-flotation plants were installed.
