"The flag flown from the 81 metres (266 feet) flagpole is 12.8 by 6.4 m (42 by 21 ft), about the size of half a tennis court. The flagpole weighs 250 tonnes and is made of polished stainless steel from Wollongong. It was designed to be the pinnacle of Parliament House and is an easily recognisable symbol of national government. It is visible by day from outside and inside Parliament House and floodlit at night. The flag itself weighs approximately 15 kg (33 lb)." Source: Wikipedia

He founded Blackburn Rovers Supporters Club, which may have been a major factor in his topping the poll.Work began on the 800-tonne steel structure the September before last. The Freckleton Street dual carriageway will form part of a multi-million scheme to transform the area, with the new road creating a link from Bolton Road to Barbara Castle Way.
Alfred ("A.") Wainwright MBE (17 January 1907 – 20 January 1991) was a British fellwalker, guidebook author and illustrator. His seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, published between 1955 and 1966 and consisting entirely of reproductions of his hand-written manuscript, has become the standard reference work to 214 of the fells of the English Lake District. Among his 40-odd other books is the first guide to the Coast to Coast Walk, a 192-mile long-distance footpath devised by Wainwright which remains popular today.

Here is another photograph from the Vision Explorers Chicago workshop I attended with a bunch of amazing photographers last month.
The Hancock Tower was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Its construction lasted several years in the mid-1960s, and it is now one of the most famous buildings in Chicago.
It was hard to come up with an original vision for it, but I found interesting the idea of opposing this solid wall to the delicateness and intricate complexity of the building's metal structure, shooting up the sky as if it was a steel monolyth.
