This was a homecoming of sorts: my first visit to the club in twenty years. I was Old Republic International’s first outside investor-relations counsel, working with top management for six years. The company is headquartered in the building. We held several meetings in the club’s private dining room, discussing communications and stratetgies for quarterly earnings announcements and conference calls and scripts for investor meetings. A.C. Zucaro, Old Republic’s CEO then and now, is one of the best company leaders in my experience and a true gentleman.
Perched atop the Old Republic Building at 307 N. Michigan Ave., the Sky-Line Club is one of the oldest private membership facilities in the city. Nearly 100 years ago, an old ale house from the Sussex region of southern England was carefully dismantled and shipped to Chicago. It was then carefully reconstructed here on the top floor of one of Chicago's early office towers. Paintings and furnishings from the original pub grace the interior today. The intimate space recently underwent renovation and also features an open-air terrace with fabulous 360-degree views.

The medieval city of Bhaktapur is known as the third city in the Kathmandu valley, after Kathmandu itself, and Patan. It is a half-hour taxi drive from downtown Kathmandu and a living gem of Hindu temples, pagodas, palaces and ancient monuments, some dating back to the 16th century. It is however in very poor condition and some of the dwellings look very precarious!

After around 125 sessions it was time to change the original picavet line. I swapped it for some of the dacron I have on a spare reel so it should be plenty strong enough.
The principle design shown is balance because of the equality between both sides of the photo. The other principle of design is contrast because of the use of opposite colors. The process to take the photo was setting the blinds in the room to partly open and laying on the floor and finally taking the photo. In photoshop I turned up the brightness of the photo and also turned up the contrast. I think something I did well is use rule of thirds, I lined up the shapes correctly to make it look as good as possible to get the best result I could. Something I would want to change is to have a more centralized point of emphasis.
The site of Copmanthorpe station witnesses Freightliner 'Shed' 66 539 at the head of the 6E94 23.45 Killoch-Drax Power Station coal train. The former station building is visible above the third and fourth hoppers. Opened in 1839, Copmanthorpe station closed to passengers in 1959 and to freight five years later. The consist has just passed beneath the Temple Lane overbridge.
