...of the 127 photo shoot day, in the literal sense, was at this remote outpost, where a bus shelter from a bygone age survives. Although this was a Summer day, waiting here on a bleak windswept day must have been quite an experience. The Bus Stop is near to the Staffordshire village of Foxt. The "Foxt Circular" was a service once operated by PMT from Cheadle using short Leopards, such as 127, and Reliances.

Highpoint - the ex-headquarters of the Yorkshire Permanent Building Society on Westgate in Bradford was built in the early 1970s. It is a 9 story building which seems to have practically no windows! Developers did have plans to add a further 4 stories, convert the offices into 93 apartments and completely re-clad the building however the economic downturn in 2008 has ended that idea.
In my opinion this building is the low-point of architecture in Bradford, it would look more at home on a Soviet missile base.
We celebrated Scott's birthday with a lunch at the awesomely named Big Ed's Chicken Pit, which evidently is owned by a woman not named Ed. An online review indicated the place attracted biker-types, just not the scary kind.

MORRISVILLE, N.C. – Friends and family welcome home from deployment more than 80 North Carolina National Guard Soldiers of the 5-113th Field Artillery Battalion to the Morrisville Army Readiness Center, Sept. 1. “Nothing could be better,” said Hala El-aawar mother of Army Sgt. Chad El-aawar of Goldsboro, N.C. The Soldiers deployed for nearly a year as Multi-National Force Observers (MNFO) as part of a long standing mission in the Egypt – Israel Sinai Peninsula region in accordance with the Camp David Peace Accord of 1979.

KY 160 at the KY-VA state line. Black Mountain is the highest point in Kentucky. The actual point is about 2 miles along the mountain to the west (left).
Mercury Pond is located at the highpoint of the palace and thus higher than the rest of the gardens, the reservoir is presided over by the figure of the god Mercury.
For any Game of Thrones fans, this pond and the adjoining gardens were the location of filming the scenes for the Water Gardens of Dorne and the Palace for the House Martell
Highpoint, North Hill, Highgate, London N6
Architect: Berthold Lubetkin
The distinctive caryatids at the entrance were Lubetkin’s ironic response to complaints by locals that the modern buildings were out of place amongst the Georgian houses more typically seen in the area.
In the mid-1930s, when he was at work on Highpoint II, the second instalment in an extraordinary double-bill of apartment blocks at the top of Highgate Hill in north London, the architect Berthold Lubetkin attracted the ire of local residents who felt that his modernist style was discordant with the Georgian and Victorian houses that faced and flanked the site. Among various practical tweaks to his design, he placed two Athenian caryatids in front of the new block: doughty and bosomy, less like subjugated maidens who’d backed the wrong team in the Persian War than a welcoming committee from the Highgate and District WI.
Only behind the courteous traditionalist gesture was a shrewd joke: the delicate concrete canopy over the two Grecian ladies’ heads didn’t need their support, or anyone else’s, being cantilevered out from the wall behind it; so above the classical capitals that crowned the two figures was a little blade of thin air. This passers-by found even more disquieting, so Lubetkin eventually filled the spaces in with two little square fillets of concrete.
In truth he had little need to demonstrate his credentials as a designer who retained some affinity with the timeless values of the classical tradition. Born in Tbilisi at the turn of the last century, he began his training in post-revolutionary Moscow, studying with the likes of Aleksandr Rodchenko and Lyubov Popova at a time when Constructivism was still supported by the regime. He effortlessly and instinctively thought of architecture as a meeting place for other art forms such as painting, sculpture and even music; and of engineering not as a forelock-tugging subordinate to architecture, but an art form in its own right. In fact, the brilliant Danish engineer Ove Arup worked with Lubetkin on Highpoint and elsewhere, notably the exquisite penguin pool at London Zoo – now forsaken by those philistine penguins, alas, whose appetite for high modernism proved in the long term to be limited.

This was the former headquarters of the Yorkshire Building Society, and apparently at 131 feet is the highest building in the city. It is a nice example of Brutalist architecture, though hated by many Bradfordians. It was the centre of attention in 2010 when a free party run by a certain collective with roots in Bradford and Manchester was busted. I think we were on our way there, and ended up at a huge house party which was also busted.

On top of The Nipple, sucking in all the glory! Eagle Mountain's highpoint in the far western horizon.
Roan Mountain is the highpoint of the Roan-Unaka Range of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, located in the Southeastern United States. The mountain is clad in a dense stand of Southern Appalachian spruce-fir forest, and includes the world's largest natural rhododendron garden, and the longest stretch of grassy bald in the Appalachian range. The Cherokee National Forest and Pisgah National Forest converge atop the mountain, with Roan Mountain State Park located near its northern base. The Appalachian Trail crosses most of the Roan's crest. The Roan High Knob Shelter is the highest backcountry shelter on the entire 2,174-mile (3,499 km) trail.
Roan Mountain contains five mountain peaks, and is roughly divided into two sections by Carver's Gap. The first section - composed of Roan High Bluff and Roan High Knob - lies west of Carver's Gap and is characterized by a thick coniferous forest. This part of Roan is shaped something like the body of a double-humped camel, with the "humps" being High Bluff and High Knob. Tollhouse Gap lies between the two peaks, and contains the Rhododendron Gardens, the largest of its kind in the world. (1)
