Mechanics Alley along the west side of the Manhattan Bridge, looking towards Madison Street. Manhattan, which is the opposite side and opposite of DUMBO, Brooklyn in many ways.
It's for the place...is there a lack of clarity of subject or no story to tell? Comments appreciated.
Malaysia's power distribution is monopolised by TNB. The high-voltage lines, carried on steel towers, is located in Petaling Jaya, near the Amcorp Mall.
The Abraj Al-Bait Towers, also known as the Mecca Royal Hotel Clock Tower, is a building complex in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. These towers are a part of the King Abdulaziz Endowment Project that strives to modernize the holy city in catering to the pilgrims. The complex holds several world records, the tallest clock tower in the world, the world's largest clock face and the building with the world's largest floor area. The complex's hotel tower became the second tallest building in the world in 2012, surpassed only by Dubai's Burj Khalifa. The building complex is meters away from the world's largest mosque and Islam's most sacred site, the Masjid al Haram.
I took this snap last year while the steel structure work was ongoing. This part was done by our Company (ABG). You can see two Bangladeshi labor faces in this picture. They were setting up the steel beams by the help of the Tower Crane (one of the toughest part of that subjected work). I feel to be proud that 85% of the manpower was Bangladeshi. Our brothers did this historical construction work during the month of Ramadan and the temperature of Makkah was 55 degree that Time.
I don't mean ridiculous as in bad, necessarily. I wish it weren't at a mall.
Why wouldn't those two tourists look at me.

On the way to Queensboro Bridge from 68th Street station (line 6), I came across this Talent Unlimited High School. Very inspiring!
I was walking around Lynnwood with Ranger while my oil got changed at Magic Toyota. I've always liked this vintage small industrial building and took a few photos of it back in March 2007 (here and here.). According to their website, HMC has been around since 1946 manufacturing retail display fixtures and entertainment centers. The place now looked a little vacant, and peering around the corner of the building I noticed that a portion of the building had burned down to the steel frame. Googling I learned that the fire occurred on February 20, 2008. I hope all is well with HMC and hopefully not another victim of recession.
HMC Industries Inc., 21020 63rd Ave W, Lynnwood, WA 98036. The construction date of the building is 1956.
