The Lorraine Motel must have been a fantastic scene in the early-mid sixties. The Stax crowd would cool off in the pool on hot days, and soul artists coming from out of town to record at Stax would stay at the black-owned motel--and in the great days of Beale Street, entertainers could stay here, within walking distance of the clubs. Apparently, the food was great, too.
After Dr. King was murdered on the balcony of his room there, everything changed for Memphis, and the downtown still has a weird feeling, gutted by urban planners in an attempt to hold revolutionary social energies at bay.
When they closed the motel to turn it into the National Civil Rights Museum in 1988, Jacqueline Smith, who worked and lived at the Lorraine, refused to vacate. She has been holding a vigil outside ever since, arguing that the museum is a development scam, an act of gentrification. What was once a black, working-class neighbourhood has become an "art district" (artists are always and everywhere the advance scouts of property speculators), with expensive condos to match.
Mark Danby in his renovated apartment looking at the backyard of his parents' house - where only two years earlier as a 17 year old, he had no idea he would buy four units next door - or did he?
Since this image was uploaded - unfortunately Mark has passed away (Aug 15, 1985-March 16-2007) Aged 21 years. See his page www.flickr.com/photos/markdanby
Manor Nursery, Angmering ... about four months after it closed down in July. It will eventually go for building land.
This is the robin that used to visit me by the till to feed on the bird seed there, without any fear ... and he would follow me around the entrance tunnel hoping for worms. Sometimes it seemed like all he wanted was some company. I can tell by the mark on his wing, and by his attitude ... each of the resident robins had some unique feature.
This is the only robin I saw up there today.

View of the Luxury kitchen design at Marina Residences by Sunland Group. These gracefully tapered five storey towers are connected by a central entry foyer, strikingly cylindrical in shape and featuring fluted exterior walls reminiscent of a Corinthian column. Inspired by the ceremonial beauty of classic architecture, two wings of just 84 low-rise residential buildings sit elegantly on the landscape. This collection of homes is now available.

Highlights reduced in Lightroom, and sharpened slightly. Flash to the left at 1/4, then to the right at 1/16. I didn't bring back the view because it wasn't the best of views...

North Wall Avenue is a new street at the Point Depot. There was a plan to connect it by a bridge over the Liffey to Capital Dock on Sir John Rogerson's Quay.
North Wall is east of the inner north side of Dublin, along the River Liffey. It contains the entire north side of Dublin Docklands and includes the International Financial Services Centre, Spencer Dock, and further east the main part of Dublin Port.
The area is dominated by a combination of older housing, dockland activities and new development through the Docklands Strategic Development Zone Planning Scheme, including extensive construction of new retail, residential and office spaces.
Transport in the area includes the Dublin Area Rapid Transit (Docklands railway station on Sheriff Street), the LUAS (red line stations George's Dock, Mayor Square, Spencer Dock, and The Point, and 8 Dublinbikes stations (at Custom House Quay, City Quay, Excise Walk, Lime Street, Guild Street, Convention Centre, New Central Bank, and The Point).
3D rendering of a detached house I did in my spare time. The model was built using CAD program.
Hi res materials, textures, lighting and other miscellaneous elements were added to the model in SketchUp.
Final render generated using SU Podium, a third party plug in for SketchUp. Retouched using GIMP.
Taylor Wimpey's Lindfield Meadows development in Haywards Heath was one of the early adopters of our new facias & facades offering. This bold exterior signage lets you know you're in the right place. Internally, we provided our usual stunning interior decoration - keeping everything on brand and on point. © Octink.

Col. Richard Siefert's controversial Centre Point building nearing completion in 1964, seen from Oxford Street.
I seem to remember that planning permission for the building was granted as part of a scheme to construct a new roundabout which would have resulted in the destruction of the area around St Giles Circus. Eventually the roundabout was shelved and a one-way system was substituted. Once it had been completed, Centre Point's owner, the tycoon Harry Hyams, allowed it to stand empty for many years, rapidly increasing in value in the 1960s property boom. Also, as long as it remained unlet, Hyams didn't have to pay rates on the building. His cynicism earned him a great deal of opprobrium ...a common fate of people who get rich quick while their accusers don't. Eventually he went on a charm offensive, placing full-page advertisements in the national newspapers in an attempt to paint his motives in a favourable light. In the advertisements Centre Point was described as "this very wonderful building". This was pounced upon by Private Eye and the phrase "very wonderful" became part of its vocabulary.
Compared to most 1960s office buildings, Centre Point strikes me as slender, nicely fenestrated and not unattractive. From a distance it has a certain grandeur, but no modern architect seems capable of designing a building that is attractive close-up at ground level.
