Today I went to the Kuwait Stock Exchange. It was my first time there and it was incredible. First to get in we had to pass through security which was rubbish. The metal detector machine you walk through wasn't working, in fact it was turned off, I saw the switch it said OFF. On their way in, people also placed their keys and phones in a basket before passing, I don't know why maybe out of habit since the security guard didn't seem to care. Also, if you had a bag, like I did, the security guard checked it with a handheld metal detector which I am sure was off because it had no lights and it made no sounds, although I had my camera, pda, iPod and PSP in it. Anyway when we went in, the place looked like an airport lounge. There was a restaurant, a Starbucks and a lot of people just sitting in chairs exactly like the ones you would find at airports. There was also a huge Times Square like electronic screen on the wall, they told me it was a new addition and that people can now watch the news and the stocks all from that "lounge". We then went to the stock exchange floor, now that place was huge and just totally packed with people. The shot I took only shows a third of the floor, since I am using a fixed 50mm lens I couldn't zoom out to show you more. This floor is where all the action takes place according to our guide, he told us this is where you can find people dancing or people fainting. He told us last week there were ambulances lined up outside the stock exchange building because when the stocks went down badly so did a lot of people. Today wasn't a good day either, when we got to the place all the stocks were down, turned out there was some kind of court case between the owners of Sultan Center and another party, people were waiting for the results of the case, then once word reached them that the Sultan Center owners won the case, stocks starting going back up. One thing that was totally strange about the KSE was that people actually wanted to be photographed. When I pulled out my camera old people started asking me if I was from CNN or Time magazine and they wanted me to take pictures of them. Its a very strange place..

In 1952, Betty Shanks, a young university friend of painter Charles Blackman's wife Barbara was murdered. Police had no clue as to who her killer was. This led Blackman (1928-2018) to consider the emotional and psychological themes of youthful innocence and danger. This painting was the result.

Shops in the arches inside the Corn Exchange in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.
Northern Harrier Food (Marsh Wren) Exchange Sequence. This action happened in literally 70mph windy condition. I was finding it tough to stand at one place and feared I may topple the tripod and gear while shooting. Amazing how birds align their position and transfer precious prey which takes them a awhile to catch while cruising over marshes. This poor Marsh Wren was literally plucked from top of a cat tail. I observed the Male Harrier(Gray Ghost on top in the frames) just dive on top of a cattail and emerge in split seconds with catch.
After using the privy, I took this and the other photo, hoping I'd see something "painterly" about it. This is about as close as I got. Things would improve as I ventured further into the Faire, but it was unbelievably crowded.

I then came to exchange siding's to take a few picture's , the box was switched out at weekends so I could stand by the base of the box to take my picture's, the first one was 50006+50035 coming from New Street heading light engine's to Saltley. then 86246 on a London Euston to Wolverhampton followed by 50038 Formidable working the 10:10 Birmingham to London Paddington, 86103 the 10:18 New Street to Euston.

In the city where I live aren't many photography-related events. Although it's the second time we have an event called "Drying". Everybody can exchange photographies with each other there...
The Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and completed in 1864. It currently houses a restaurant, a clothing boutique and a jewellery shop.
Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, a young Hull architect best known for Leeds Town Hall, this Grade I listed structure was completed in 1864. Leeds Corn Exchange is now just one of three Corn Exchanges in the country which still operates in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade, albeit no longer for trading in corn.
After the closure of the Corn Exchange, its condition deteriorated to such a degree that the building itself and the surrounding land became one of Leeds' most run down areas. Early proposals for the regeneration for this site had included turning the Corn Exchange into a concert hall similar to the Royal Albert Hall.
1980s conversion into a shopping centre
In 1985, Speciality Shops plc won the contract to re-develop the building as a shopping centre. The refurbishment process designed by Alsop & Lyall was completely restored to its current state, with new staircases to allow shoppers access to the balcony and basement levels. It opened for trade in 1990. Many other old buildings have been restored in this area, now known as The Exchange Quarter.
As well as housing shops such as Ark Clothing, On the wall (poster/photograph) which is now in a new site on Boar Lane, Culture Vulture now situated on Duncan Street and Eva (jewellery), the Leeds Corn Exchange also hosted exhibitions, events such as strut (fashion show) and music events. Most of the shops sold alternate merchandise such as band items like badges, clothes, and studded belts, and the Exchange became a well-known congregation point for alternative people.
In November 2007 it was revealed that the centre (which had been under refubishment for the past year following being taken over by Zurich Financial Services) was to be converted into a food emporium. The plans brought protests from existing independent traders, who were removed from the Corn Exchange, and their customers.
Following a major restoration project, Leeds Corn Exchange re-opened in November 2008 as a boutique shopping destination for creative independent retail enterprises. The entire 13,200-square-foot (1,230 m2) ground level is now occupied by a new restaurant venture, with the upper levels home to a number of retailers.
It is a rare sight nowadays to witness a token exchange. The driver of 59104 'Village of Great Elm', hands over the token to the signalman at Park Junction, Newport, having just completed the single-track journey from Machen with crushed stone destined for West Drayton on the 6A83 service. The strange metal box next to the car is to protect the signal man’s car from youths hurling stones.
Park Junction Signal Box in Newport is a GWR box that dates back to 1885, built by McKenzie & Holland with both lever frame and panel for signalling. There were 100 recorded levers in 1920. This splendid signal box, though somewhat dilapidated, appears to have quite a few of its original features. I am not sure if this little gem has achieved grade II listed status, but according to my research it is scheduled to be decommissioned sometime this year as a result of all signalling in South Wales ultimately being controlled from the South Wales Regional Operations Centre at Cardiff.

The Royal Exchange in London was founded in the 16th century by the merchant Thomas Gresham to act as a centre of commerce for the City of London. The site was provided by the City of London Corporation and the Worshipful Company of Mercers, who still jointly own the freehold. It is trapezoidal in shape and is flanked by Cornhill and Threadneedle Street which converge at Bank junction in the heart of the City. The design was inspired by a bourse Gresham had seen in Antwerp, Belgium, and was Britain's first specialist commercial building.
It has twice been destroyed by fire and rebuilt. The present building was designed by William Tite in the 1840s and is currently up for sale. The site was notably occupied by the Lloyd's insurance market for nearly 150 years. Today the Royal Exchange contains offices, luxury shops and a restaurant.
Exchange Plaza at 50 Lothian Road, Edinburgh is apparently one of the most iconic buildings in Edinburgh, forming the gateway to the city's prime Exchange District, Edinburgh’s key office location. Lothian Road is home to numerous amenities such as bars, cafes and restaurants. Additionally, the key shopping locations of Princes Street and George Street are a short walk away.

A product of the English Electric Vulcan Foundary, D6986 was delivered in June 1965. TOPS classification as a 37/0 saw it renumbered to 37286 at the start of 1973. Refurbishment and the fitting of train heating completed in 1985 saw it emerge as 37404 in large logo blue. In January 1986 it was named 'Ben Cruachan' and re-painting to InterCity Mainline livery as illustrated was completed mid-1989. After 33 years and 8 months in service, withdrawal came in February 1999 and the locomotive was scrapped at C F Booth, Rotherham 3 years later.

Dorchester Corn Exchange, Dorchester, Dorset.
The Corn Exchange is a Grade II* Listed Building in the centre of Dorchester. The Building is two storeys with walls of Broadmayne brick with Bath and Portland stone dressings and a tile of slate roof over. The building was designed by Benjamin Ferrey (who also designed All Saints’ Church and the old County Hospital in the town) and erected in 1847-48 by the builder Samuel Slade.
The building replaced an earlier town hall of 1792 which stood a little further west with an arched passageway into North Square.
The building originally comprised a corn exchange, assembly hall and council chamber. Later in the 19th century a new market and police station were added to the north.
The clock turret was added to the building in 1864. It is known as ‘Galpin’s Folly’, after Mayor Galpin who partly paid for it and who approved Benjamin Ferrey’s designs for a tower on a slender pillar. There was public concern that the tower would fall off. It hasn’t yet!
