Gursky stitches together many images to form vast and detailed panoramas. This is only a small section as I wanted the spectator and no edges to his photograph.
The World Trade Center Transportation hub is not any train station. It is an architectural wonder, created by architect Santiago Calatrava.
In this photo of the Oculus, you can see its white lines reaching up to the sky and enclosing the World Trade Center in NYC. Obviously, the World Trade Center is much taller, but the angle and 14 mm lens create an optical illusion. The diagonal lines frame the larger building.
I chose a black and white low-key processing allows the light to stand out on Oculus while the rest of the buildings fall into the background. In the foreground, you can barely see silhouettes of people looking at the buildings, including my daughter and wife.
And you can see a second popular image of the Oculus showing the light from inside its shadows on my Facebook page.
In a bold yet calculated move, the French 32 gun frigate sweeps by the British 64. Although outgunned, the frigate is armed with heavy 24 pound long-guns while the older 64 replies with two batteries of 12 and 18 pounders. with 9 pounders on the quarterdeck.

In 1819, Sir Thomas Raffles negotiated a treaty whereby Johor allowed the British to locate a trading port on the island. The Sultan of Johor is the sovereign ruler of the Malaysian state of Johor. It all was leading to the establishment of the British colony of Singapore in 1819. The port was strategically located along the main trade route between India and China. Singapore became an independent republic in 1965. Nowadays the country has become one of the world's most prosperous nations, with a highly developed free market economy and strong international trading links. Tourism in Singapore is a major industry and is the 5th most visited city in the world. Along with this, it also has one of the world's lowest crime rates. Public transport is easy when visiting Singapore. This includes the well-known Mass Rapid Transit system. MRT trains are fully automated without driver! Singapore is a green and clean city. It is also full of natural attractions and cultural heritage sites, from botanic gardens and nature parks to temples and museums. Chinatown is a small piece of China in the heart of Singapore. Once an enclave for Singapore’s Chinese immigrant population, the Chinatown of today is much-beloved for its blend of old and new, with historic temples and traditional medicinal halls sitting alongside hip new bars and lifestyle shops. You also can't miss the three monstrous towers of Marina Bay Sands which stand at the Marina Bay waterfront. Apart from the casino, the Marina Bay Sands also has a shopping mall, resorts, museums, theatres, an ice skating rink, and a Skydeck with an infinity pool.
Getting around Singapore by MRT (train) is simple. Singapore's public transport system is fast and efficient, and brings you to memorable attractions in no time. The Marina Bay Sands is a most icon hotel with and a wide range of shopping, casino and entertainment options. The resort includes a 2,561-room hotel. The three towers are connected by a 1 hectare roof terrace, Sands SkyPark. The observation deck provides panoramic views across the bay and world's largest rooftop Infinity Pool.

In 1819 onderhandelde Sir Thomas Raffles over een verdrag waarbij Johor de Britten toestond een handelshaven op het eiland te vestigen. De Sultan van Johor is de soevereine heerser van de Maleisische staat Johor. Het leidde allemaal tot de oprichting van de Britse kolonie Singapore in 1819. De haven was strategisch gelegen langs de belangrijkste handelsroute tussen India en China. Singapore werd in 1965 een onafhankelijke republiek. Tegenwoordig is het land één van de meest welvarende landen ter wereld geworden, met een hoog ontwikkelde vrije markteconomie en sterke internationale handelsbanden. Toerisme in Singapore is een belangrijke industrie en is de 5e meest bezochte stad ter wereld. Daarnaast heeft het ook één van 's werelds laagste misdaadcijfers. Openbaar vervoer is eenvoudig tijdens een bezoek aan Singapore. MRT-treinen zijn volledig geautomatiseerd zonder machinist ! Singapore is een groene en schone stad. Het staat ook vol met natuurlijke attracties en culturele erfgoedsites, van botanische tuinen en natuurparken tot tempels en musea. Chinatown is een klein stukje China in het hart van Singapore. De Esplanade-brug is een 261 meter lange verkeersbrug die over de monding van de Singapore-rivier loopt. Er is ook een loopbrug, deze biedt een panoramisch uitzicht op Marina South en het financiële centrum van Singapore. Het is een uitstekende plek om een zonsondergang te bekijken. Het prachtige Fullerton Hotel ligt naast de brug. Goede plek om 's avonds door te brengen, verlichting aan de voorkant is uitzonderlijk mooi. Ook kun je de drie monsterlijke torens van Marina Bay Sands die aan de waterkant van Marina Bay staan niet missen. Naast het casino heeft het Marina Bay Sands ook een winkelcentrum, resorts, musea, theaters, een ijsbaan en een Skydeck met een overloopzwembad met prachtig uitzicht op de stad.

I do have two reserved tuxedos, and I'm looking for the other two.
You can take a look at my wish list, but I really need zombie parts and foliage.
We were invited by the son of the local royal family to visit the ruins of his ancestor's palace. But after a day full of nodding and 'ohhh's & ahhh's' i needed a cigarette break. While wandering off in the neighbouring jungle, i crossed paths with an old geezer. Although we were unable to communicate with words, we shared our treasures. I had cigarettes, he had nuts and some sort of citrus fruit. After a while of keeping each other company in silence, we both returned to our separate worlds.
I had visited the Empire State Building in late August, and learned they had a webcam for tourists (which was a real novelty 19 years ago). I was at work on 9/11/01 when I heard the terrible news of the attacks, and tuned into the Empire State Building webcam and pointed it at the Towers. This was the horrible scene - we didn't know the 2nd tower would soon fall too.
Though not a great photo, I've uploaded this shot of the shunt loco at Milton Park purely because I've never seen another photo of it.
Milton Park Trading Estate - now reinvented as a science park and innovation community - occupies the site of a former RAF supply depot west of Didcot. The RAF site was rail connected to the adjacent Great Western Main Line (GWML), and the connection was retained to the trading estate.
BR certainly served Milton Park during the Speedlink era, with local trip workings delivering Cargowaggon type ferry vans to what appears in railway literature as the Lansdown International freight terminal here.
I do not know if freight traffic continued here after the demise of Speedlink in July 1991, but in this mid-1993 photo, the rails serving this particular building are certainly rusty. I do not recall how many rail-connected buildings there were at Milton Park by this time, so traffic could have course been using a different siding with all movements carried out by the main line locomotive. I seem to recall there may have been some freight traffic to Milton Park during the late 1990's as EWS were seemingly offering freebies to everybody.
A few months after I took this photo however, a return visit to the site (probably in an attempt at a better photograph of this loco!), the track alongside this building had been removed and the loco was not here. The link to that photo is below.

In 2025 this building still stands, but with the long loading dock completely enclosed and the building being very much repurposed. There are also no clues that the building was ever rail served.
As for the shunt loco, Adrian Barr's informative and extensively researched comment below identifies it as Hunslet 0-6-0DH No. 7276 of 1972.
I'm sure some of you will be able to fill in any remaining blanks, so as usual any corrections and/or further information would be much appreciated.

May 8, 2023: Ute Trading Post neon sign in Manitou Springs, Colorado. One source on the internet says the sign is from 1934. The actual trading post has been closed for years. I used the Bluristic App on my iPhone for about a 3-second exposure. The app allows me to lock one section of the image in place and blur the rest.
