I wanted to shoot something during the day as I really wasn't expecting such a lovely sunset over the poppies (thank you all so much for all the lovely comments by the way!)
So when the clouds and light got a little bit more interesting we found ourselves here. Tin mines just say Cornwall to me and I'm sure I came here on a school trip, mind you it was 1976! Hopefully this mine does pre-date my childhood! I would love to come back here for a moody sunset or a stormy day.
This was followed by the obligatory cream tea but I am pleased to report that less food was consumed then my 2019 visit!
The majestic architecture of The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance building. Located on Broadway in the north ward of Newark NJ; once the insurance company of choice for the wealthy families of the Northeast. The company is long gone and now this building is a nursing home.
Connecticut Southern train CSO-3 rolls south along Van Dyke Avenue in Hartford with a cut of empty cars for Murphy Road. In the lead is Providence & Worcester "Super-7" 2215 which has been on the property for a while now. Connecticut's Capital city is know as the "Insurance Capital of the World" as many insurance companies are headquartered there.

In December of 2015 I'd taken my photographic hobby to new heights. A month earlier, I began processing in HDR. I began utilizing auto exposure bracketing (AEB) in my 10 month old Canon EOS Rebel T5i, my very first DSLR. I wasn't very good at it, and am sometimes appalled at the cartoony look of my first HDR images, but I got better as the years ticked by, and a decade later, I rarely shoot anything other than HDR.
I always had a wide angle "attachment" to my Sony Cybershot, my camera for the previous 8 years. In December 2015 I got my first wide angle lens for the DSLR.
Here is a newly processed photo taken on my very first "Photo Expedition" with my then brand new Canon EF-S10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM wide angle lens.
I love to shoot as wide as possible, esp. when attempting to get tall buildings in the shot.
This morning (01/13/2025), I'm awaiting the delivery of my NEW wide angle lens, a Canon RF10-20mm F4 L IS STM. I've been using the previous lens, with an EF mount and an adapter, on my first full frame camera with an RF mount, the EOS R from 2020, and now the EOS R5. The lens I get today uses the RF mount and allows usage of the full area of the 45MP sensor. I've waited over a year for the lens to become available on Canon's website. It sold out almost as soon as it was introduced. I'm pretty excited.
From Wikipedia: "Registered historic building located on Broadway in downtown Long Beach, California, USA. The eight-story Beaux Arts building was one of the largest office buildings in downtown Long Beach when it opened in 1925. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003."
As it was full moon I stayed local again and went to this house i've been meaning to go to for a while now.
Apparently an insurance scam gone wrong, a guy burnt down his own house for the insurance and they wouldn't pay out.
Now I believe it has been sold off at auction, bought by a developer, it will be knocked down and a few new houses to be built in its place, such a shame people get greedy.
The Great Life Insurance buildings in south Denver captured one day as I drove home from work... I like the circular patterns of the buildings quite a bit...

For people who had problems paying their insurance policy on time, this insurance company came up with a savings clock.
The premiums were to be paid by payment into the savings clock provided on loan with the policy, in installments as specified in the policy.
A representative of the insurance company would empty the savings clock issued on loan under this policy once every quarter.
What was less in the clock than 13 weeks premium had to be paid at once. The representative issued a receipt signed by the management for the premiums received.
The payment for this policy (in 1953) was two guilders a week.
Guidelines:
1. Two guilders a week must be deposited into this clock.
2. Use only undamaged coins.
3. The clock must be wound every day.
4. (The clock must be) treated with care.
5. The seal must not be broken.
6. For any repairs, reference is made to article 1 of the special conditions stated on the policy issued with this clock.
The clock still has a slot for coins. Unfortunately the coin mechanisme inside the clock has been removed.

Sometimes you find a location that is just your sort of thing and the Allianz Arena in Munich was one such place for me. As the sun goes down the lights on the outside of the stadium come on – ideal for a silhouette type shot. This is a black and white version of a shot from a while back, I’m on a bit of a black and white phase at the moment!

Went down a side street I'd not been down before and found this building just round the corner from 'Love Lane'.
It's the Insurance Hall, and this building was the office of the Chartered Insurance Institute from 1933 to 2018. Now it provides rentable office space.
Quite a cool building though ...
Is there anything more ironic than an abandoned Real Estate office? El Mirage, CA. Night, full moon, 2 minutes, red-gelled strobe.

UPDATE: Several people got in touch with me and have said that the illustrator is most likely JP Miller. Thanks for the help, guys!
I love how Westerns always seem to be the thing that is on TV back in the 50's.
This platter goes out today for an insurance company having an open house. They wanted a variety of houses and cars, so hopefully they'll like these!

I happen to notice this building as I was going into the driveway of my Site Shop office so had to get a shot of it ... I processed it in a new Plugin by Redfield called Elementary... It is an interesting plugin and more my style than some of the others I have ... Happy Window Wednesday, Everybody!!
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary in 1999.
I suspect this was the first day of the DLR extension to Lewisham opening on 22 Nov 1999. The rail Replacement service would have been Crossharbour to Island Gardens whilst it was being built. Did they keep it going on the first day as an insurance policy?
Operator was Capital Citybus.
Technology arrives in the world of the insurance claim. One small bump in a car park, and a few photos later the repair is approved.
Most of it would polish out, and a bit of coloured tape makes the rear light legal, but the bent and cracked plastic bumper means a trip to the body shop. And that means an insurance claim.
This abstract is made up of just two photos, the rear light, and my reflection whilst photographing the VIN , buried under the wipers and windscreen.

The Canada Life Building is a historic office building in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The fifteen-floor Beaux Arts building was built by Sproatt & Rolph and stands at 285 feet (87 m), 321 feet (97.8 m) including its weather beacon.
It is located at University and Queen Street in the city's downtown. Work on the new headquarters of the Canada Life Assurance Company began in 1929 and it opened in 1931. It was the fourth building to serve as the headquarters of Canada Life, Canada's oldest, and at the time largest, insurance company. Previously it had been housed in offices at Bay and King Street.
The Beaux Arts structure was the first of a series of planned structures along University Avenue, but the Great Depression halted these plans. When it was completed it was one of the tallest buildings in Toronto. It remains one of the largest office buildings in Toronto with windows that can be opened by its occupants.
The beacon was the first of its kind to appear in Canada and was built at a cost of $25,000. The top of the beacon tower stands 321 feet (97.8 m) above University Avenue and, when completed on August 9, 1951, made the structure the third-highest in Toronto, after the Canadian Bank of Commerce Building and the Royal York Hotel.
