Ferries entering the Circular Quay area passing the Iconic Sydney Opera house
The Circular Quay area of Sydney is a bustling transportation hub, ferries to many places link with the metro / train network, it is adjacent to the Opera House and also to iconic Harbour Bridge
Having just switched the Vogt Industrial Complex on the right, CSX shoves east in the quasi-street running of Ormsby Ave. on the "Hub" track in Louisville towards their own mainline.
The Hubs, now a part of Sheffield Hallam University. It was originally built as the National Centre for Popular Music which opened on 1 March 1999, and closed in June 2000.
Chicago is the unquestioned hub of the North American rail network. From here, Amtrak's long distance trains are dispatched to all four corners of the nation, with Metra commuter trains fanning out to every corner of Chicagoland.
The freight network in the greater Chicago area also closely resembles a couple large fistfuls of linguine thrown at a wall.
Nabe eines alten Schiffspropellers der "Cap San Diego". Die «Cap San Diego» ist ein nach wie vor seetüchtiges Museumsschiff (Baujahr 1961) und hat seinen Liegeplatz an der Überseebrücke des Hamburger Hafens.

Hub of an old ship's propeller of the "Cap San Diego". The "Cap San Diego" is still a seaworthy museum ship (built in 1961) and is moored at the Überseebrücke in the Port of Hamburg.
When the Alcan Highway consisted of 1,500 miles of very rough dirt road - many vehicles lost their hub caps and never knew it. If you visit the village of Champagne - (located on the original roadbed that is now by-passed.) - you will see this impressive display when you reach the small settlement. Don't bother asking if you can buy any of them, because as the sign clearly states - they are not for sale.
If you enlarge this photo - you just may spot one you lost many long years ago.
Lake Joondalup, Western Australia.
(Wikipedia)
Joondalup (/ˈdʒuːndəlʌp/) is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, approximately 26 kilometres (16 mi) north of Perth's central business district. It contains the central business district of the regional City of Joondalup and acts as the primary urban centre of Perth's outer northern suburbs.
History
During the latter part of the 1960s, the Metropolitan Regional Planning Authority developed the Corridor Plan for Perth which was published and adopted in 1970. The plan called for the creation of five "sub-regional" retail centres (Fremantle, Joondalup, Midland, Armadale and Rockingham) which would form the commercial and economic focus of each "node", and take the retail burden away from the CBD. The Corridor Plan was not endorsed by Parliament until 1973.
In order to grow both the five "sub-regional" retail centres and these off-corridor regional shopping centres, a Retail Shopping Policy was developed by MRPA in 1976, and a Perth Metropolitan Region Retail Structure Plan was put in place to regulate the industry. This Plan was amended as new centres were required A review of the Corridor Plan in 1987 found that the sub-regional centres had failed to adequately compete against the regional shopping centres in the middle-distance suburbs.
Most of the land in the area remained largely undeveloped until the 1960s, and Joondalup started to become the "city of the north" towards the late 1980s to the early 1990s when houses and businesses were established in the area. Joondalup is the key regional hub for the north of Perth, a status confirmed by the Western Australian State Government's new Directions 2031 strategy which names Joondalup town centre as one of two Primary Centres for the Perth metropolitan area.
The city is named after Lake Joondalup. The name Joondalup is a Noongar word, first recorded in 1837 and possibly meaning either "place of whiteness or glistening", or "place of a creature that can only move backwards".

The Hub by Bishopsteignton Outdoor Art Group (BOAG): "The post-apocalypse survivors' encampment was made from 1,500 hub caps, the remnants of a greenhouse, found chicken wire, donated fabric and other recycled materials. Many hub caps were collected from the wayside as road 'spin offs" (see: www.trail.org.uk/cboag.htm).
Part of the Trail Recycled Art In Landscape (TRAIL) sculpture trail on the south Devon coast between Shaldon and Dawlish. "Trail is an unique mix of professional artist and artist led community groups, an event that is continuously evolving with performance, literary and visual arts coming together exploring environmental issues" (see: www.trail.org.uk/).

Gabriel García Márquez:
Murió de mal aroma.
Rosa idéntica, exacta.
Subsistió a su belleza,
Sucumbió a su fragancia.
No tuvo nombre: acaso
la llamarían Rosaura,
O Rosa-fina, o Rosa
del amor, o Rosalba;
o simplemente Rosa,
como la nombra el agua.
Más le hubiera valido
ser siempreviva, Dalia,
pensamiento con luna
como un ramo de acacia.
Pero ella será eterna:
fue rosa; y eso basta;
Dios la guarde en su reino
a la diestra del alba.

Haven't had too much time to enjoy the new grassy areas around the hub, but they are definately in my opinion a nice addition to the area. A fantastHaven't had too much time to enjoy the new grassy areas around the hub, but they are definitely in my opinion a nice addition to the area. A fantastic spot to hang out during any time of the day (aside from FP reservation times) as the area is almost always uncrowded.
There aren't many angles or areas to get a construction wall or scrim free shot, and this one isn't completely devoid of them, but the best angle I could find at the time. Can't wait to see the finished product!

What I've been working on for the past few months or so. With the help of my fantastic team at Merlin Magic Making we recreated Santiago Calatrava's "Oculus" World Trade Center Transportation Hub for #minilandnyc
The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

Downtown Boston is the central business district of Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Boston was founded in 1630. The largest of the city's commercial districts, Downtown is the location of many corporate or regional headquarters; city, county, state and federal government facilities; and many of Boston's tourist attractions. Similar to other central business districts in the U.S., Downtown has recently undergone a transformation that included the construction of new condos and lofts, renovation of historic buildings, and arrival of new residents and businesses. It is represented in the Boston City Council by District 2's Ed Flynn (politician).
Downtown is bound by the Back Bay, North End, Beacon Hill, and the South End areas. It includes the Government Center and the Financial District.
The area that is now Downtown Boston constituted much of the town/city proper prior to the city's dramatic expansion in the 1860s and 1870s. The Great Boston Fire of 1872 destroyed much of the neighborhood, especially between Summer, Washington, and Milk Streets. In the 1950s the Central Artery highway began operating, until the Big Dig (1982-2007) relocated it underground. In the 1960s and 1970s the enormous new Government Center complex replaced Scollay Square.
Landmarks in Downtown Boston include the Greenway, Custom House Tower, City Hall, Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, Old State House, Old South Meeting House, Massachusetts State House, Park Street Church, Boston Common, and Boston Public Garden.
Educational institutions located downtown include Emerson College and Suffolk University.
The four MBTA subway lines converge in the downtown area at the Downtown Crossing, Park Street, Government Center, and State stations. South Station is a transportation hub with subway, commuter rail, intercity bus, and Amtrak service.
This is the Event Hub for “The Gralloch” in Gatehouse of Fleet, reputedly one of the toughest cycle rides in Europe. The Gralloch is one event making up part of the UCI World Cycling Championships. I didn’t take part in the competitive ride on the Saturday but I did ride the course as a sportive on the Sunday, it’s a gruelling 68 miles of the roughest and dustiest moorland and forest trails that I’ve ever encountered.
