There was an architectural period where they looked at the functionality of steel and glass. The terminal at Victoria st London is a good example of that thinking.
The River Terminal Railway was an industrial road in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, serving parent Republic Steel’s works on the west bank of the Cuyahoga River. The RT’s bicentennial contribution was a little different from the usual red, white and blue fare offered up by most railroads. Instead they applied a stylized “76” in their standard blue and yellow to the radiator grille of SW7 76.

Week #22 ~ Blue Hour
This week's aim was to get out in the hour after sunset and get some twilight images (or the hour before sunrise and capture that predawn glow.)
There is a very handy website (www.bluehoursite.com/) which you can enter your location into and it will give you the times of the two blue hours - add +1 hour for Ireland.
Wrote to Dublin Airport for permission to shoot the Terminal 2 building there. It's one of my favourite places - I get a great feeling just walking under this building and to be allowed to take shots was an honour for me.

Union Terminal in Cincinnati, Ohio has a significant amount of history behind it. Its Art Deco halls have hosted everything from trains, to movie theaters, to a department store. It's now home to several prominent museums on its lower floors. Its interior dome is one of the largest in the world.
I stood all the way in one of the corners of the lobby and took about twenty photos to create this panoramic view including the terminal's concentric ceiling.

Brooklyn Army Terminal. This former army terminal is being transformed into a modern manufacturing and commercial centre.
I have something of an ongoing love affair with Reagan National Airport's old terminal. If you're lucky enough to fly through, take some time to soak it up because they don't make them like they used to.

Fothergilla or Witch Alder is a genus of 2 or 3 species of flowering plants in the family Hamamelidaceae, native to woodland and swamps of the southeastern United States.
They are low-growing deciduous shrubs growing to 1–3 m (3–10 ft) tall with downy twigs. The brush-like flowers are produced before the leaves in spring on terminal spikes; they do not have any petals, but a conspicuous cluster of white stamens 2–3 cm long. The leaves are alternate, broad ovoid, 4–10 cm long and 3–8 cm broad, with a coarsely toothed margin; they are noted for their brilliant orange or red fall colors.
Fothergillas are grown as ornamental plants for their spring flowers and fall foliage color. They are slow-growing, rarely exceeding 1–2 m tall in cultivation. The hybrid cultivar Fothergilla × intermedia 'Mount Airy' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

A TRRA yard job is seen working the south end of Madison Yard just outside of Brooklyn, Illinois. In the background, 101 prepares to depart for Lindenwood via the Mac Bridge. The concrete bridge piers in the background were part of the Illinois Terminal's Venice High Line, a mile-long trestle that connected the McKinley Bridge with the IT's yard facilities in East Madison. It was abandoned around the same time as when the IT ended rail service over the McKinley Bridge in 1977.

Reading Terminal Market - America's oldest farmers' market
The Reading Terminal Market, established in 1892 at 12th and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, is the nation’s oldest continuously operating farmers’ market. Through its long and interesting history, it has seen times both good and bad, but has emerged in the 21st century as one of the greatest public markets in the country.
When you visit the market, you can enjoy eating virtually every type of cuisine, from sublime soul food and exquisite Asian and Middle Eastern dishes to authentic Philly Cheesesteaks and traditional Pennsylvania Dutch fare — all available from largely family-run stands.
Why a Reading market in Philadelphia you ask - - -
In 1889, the Reading Railroad decided to build a train depot, passenger station, and company headquarters on the corner of 12th and Market Streets. The move came eight years after the Pennsylvania Railroad opened its Broad Street Station several blocks away at 15th and Market Streets, and one year after the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad opened its 24th Street Station at 24th and Chestnut Streets.
The chosen location was occupied by an open-air market that had been in continuous operation since 1653. After loud complaints and much negotiation, the Railroad agreed to purchase the markets for $1 million and move them to a new structure: the Reading Terminal Market, located to the rear of the headhouse at 12th and Filbert Streets. This required the trainshed and all of its tracks to be constructed one story above street level, with the Reading Viaduct to bring trains in and out.
Reading Terminal served the railroad's inter-city and regional rail trains, many of which are still running as part of the SEPTA Regional Rail system that connects Center City with outlying neighborhoods and suburbs, especially to the north. Daily traffic peaked during World War II with up to 45,000 daily passengers, then declined in the 1950s with the advance of road and air travel. The terminal buildings declined with the railroad's fortunes as maintenance budgets were cut. The Reading declared bankruptcy on November 23, 1971.
The shed was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
It now houses some of the Pennsylvania Convention Center facilities.
