Fremont Residential Structure. This masonry dwelling was built by Fremont people who inhabited this canyon from about 700 to 1300 A.D. Numerous dwellings of this type can be found on rock ledges along the length of the canyon. The typical structure is built in a D-shape right up against a rock face. Note that the back wall and ceiling of this dwelling are plastered with mud. BLM Nine Mile Canyon area. Duchesne Co., Utah.
Newark Penn Station is located close to Passaic River, crossed by the substantial lifting truss Dock Bridge. This was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1935. It is some years since the span was lifted for a passing vessel, but the structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Place. A northbound Amtrak Acela train is about to rumble its way across.
I fired up Structure Synth for the first time in awhile. Rendered with Sunflow.

The Manali-Leh highway
One of the highest and most rugged highways in the world, the journey on the Manali - Leh highway is one that leaves the traveller gasping for breath on all accounts...dream like landscapes taking your breath away at almost every turn and sheer breathlessness from the lack of oxygen as you cross some of the highest roads and mountain passes in the world.
It connects the Manali valley to Kullu valley, Lahaul and Spiti and Ladakh and is open only between June and mid-September when snow is cleared from the road. Prominent passes that one crosses include Rohtang La (3,978m), Baralacha La (5,045m), Lachulung La (5,059m) and Tanglang La (5,325m). Between Lachlung La and Taglang La the road crosses the More plains, a vast desert like expanse at an altitude in excess of 4,500mts.
The journey along the road normally takes two days and many travellers make overnight stops at Jispa and tented camps such as Sarchu. Alternately, overnight stops can be made at Keylong. Owing to the high altitudes and the low-oxygen air, many travelers experience breathlessness, headaches and nausea or in some cases even acute mountain sickness.
The highway was designed, built, constructed and is maintained in its entirety by the Indian Army and is capable of supporting the heaviest of their vehicles. This journey is often referred to as the ultimate challenge for riding and off-roading enthusiansts and attracts bikers from all over the world.
DOWNTOWN - Los Angeles City Firefighters battled a Downtown structure fire, which began as a large outside rubbish fire which spread to several businesses in a row of commercial buildings, that had occupied residential units across the second floor.
Firefighters responded to the Flower District of Downtown Los Angeles at 3:12 PM on June 22, 2023, to find heavy fire involving outside storage in the rear behind a long 2-story building, with residential units over a row of commercials, with heavy fire showing. The Incident Commander called for waves of additional firefighters, and placed companies in all involved units on the first floor, second floor, roof, and outside to the rear.
The fire appeared to have originated as an exterior fire to the rear, with flames rapidly spreading inside the first floor commercial space, and threatening to burn more units horizontally. Firefighters assisted with evacuations, and performed a rapid and systematic search of all units, and halted the horizontal spread. Fortunately, no victims were trapped.
Ultimately, it took 148 firefighters one hour and thirty-five minutes to extinguish the blaze. The fire unit of origin was a venue rental business, who loaned out supplies for
weddings, and social events, therefore there was a heavy fuel load inside that fueled the fire.
As always, we mourn the loss of the approximately four commercial units downstairs and four residential units directly above suffered damaged, but remain thankful that this incident did not end up being significantly worse. Red Cross responded to assist approximately 30 residents who were displaced. Thankfully, only one person (a 28-year-old female) was transported to the hospital in fair condition, and a second (a 50-year-old male) was evaluated and declined transport (both had symptoms of smoke inhalation). Arson investigators responded to determine fire origin, per protocol.

This is the interior portion of a large sculpture called cardboard/sound by Chui Yao Judy Chan, Melinda Sue-Li Chan and David Chii Zhong Yeow; students from the Melbourne School of Design. The entire structure is made from cardboard!
The work is on display in the skybridge outside Myer Melbourne as part of a temporary exhibit called "Inhabiting Materials, Managing Environments".
