One of my favourite houses on Sherwood Drive. An added bonus is the beautiful yellow sedum that blooms there every spring!

The Year was 1869, and a group of spiritual lay leaders assembled as The Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association to form and incorporate the town of Ocean Grove. Now New Jersey's finest year-round family seashore resort, this one square mile of natural beauty has welcomed and delighted vacationers, including U.S. presidents, for over a century. On Ocean Grove's tree-lined streets is the largest assemblage of authentic Queen Anne and other Victorian architecture in the nation. In 1976, the town had the honor of being entered in the National Register of Historic Places and in 1977, the New Jersey State Register of Historic Places.

As some of my previous uploads, this shot is also from the Montparnasse Tower’s observation deck, only this time taken by night. There are certain Parisian landmarks clearly visible from high up in the dark, since the city’s general building height limitation is merely 50 meters (160 feet).
Standing tall and well-lit on one of the two remaining natural islands in the Seine, Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris caught my eye among the sea of buildings. I decided to go for a longer lens to get closer to the subject and achieve a compressed look.
The final image is a simple one-exposure shot edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

First HDR I've completed with a five shot set, -4, -2, 0, +2, +4 EVs. Had to correct some minor halos in the clouds.
I finally caught up with all the photos I took last week. I think I'm going to take a break from shooting for awhile, as there are lots of things coming up that have to get done and photography can wait. I also have given up on the 365 project, as all the photos in the set were shit and I acomplished my original goal, which was to get me to carry my camera with me more often.
Hampi (Kannada: ಹಂಪೆ Hampe) is a village in northern Karnataka state, India. It is located within the ruins of Vijayanagara, the former capital of the Vijayanagara Empire. Predating the city of Vijayanagara, it continues to be an important religious centre, housing the Virupaksha Temple, as well as several other monuments belonging to the old city. The ruins are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, listed as the Group of Monuments at Hampi.[1] According to statistics of 2014, Hampi is the most searched historical place in Karnataka on Google.

15 Belshaw Place in Regent Park South, Toronto.
The ongoing redevelopment of the Regent Park neighborhood in downtown Toronto plays like a narrative that could happen anywhere.
The Toronto slums were bulldozed in the 1950s and redeveloped but by the mid to late 1960s these modernist buildings fell into disrepair.
The architect Peter Dickinson designed five fourteen story Maisonette Tower's. Appropriating ideas from Le Corbusier’s Unite d’habitation in Marseilles, Dickinson, then with Page and Steele Architects won the Massey Silver Medal in 1958 for these towers.
15 and 63 Belshaw Place are demolished, Three towers are still standing. The property at 14 Blevins Place is recommended for inclusion on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties for its cultural heritage value and interest.

...handheld shot of the Excalibur casino in Vegas. There are some nice shots to be had of this Casino, but we did not have time. Jon Martin and I got here super late and ended up just walked up and down the strip.
The archiecture and the lights are very interesting at night - and at dusk with a wide angle some winner shots can be had. There are also some buildings I need to go up in and I need to be on time for the Bellagio fountain show...I need to go back, but Vegas is one of my least favorite US cities so this is unlikely to happen unless I'm passing through. Both my visits so far have been just one night as the part of monster roadtrips.
My view on Vegas (keep in mind that I don't gamble) is to go once, make sure you have ice cold AC, cruise up and down the strip 3-4 times especially at night, then head to Utah. The strip is unique, but the rest is ordinary. Ok, I'm exaggerating (actually clubbing is great and shopping is okay). The shows are good too people tell me.
Nevertheless this is how I felt the last time. I was repulsed. I think the sudden change of scenary played a role. We had spent a couple days in Utah exploring canyons and starry skies so coming to Vegas was almost like waking up and cold sweating in the middle of a crummy TV commercial with flashing bright neon lights and loud party goers slapping you in the face. We both wanted to wake up from this crash reintroduction to modern bling so we quickly headed for Death Valley the next day.

Architecture & Interiors by SUYAMA PETERSON DEGUCHI ARCHITECTS
Architect: N. V. Posokhin. A typically Russian offering, easily forgetable, shouting for attention at night.
The Grand Shaft is a unique structure in the Western Heights and a very rare example of a triple spiral staircase in fortifications of the same age (early 1800s). When work began in earnest on the Western Heights, it soon became apparent that rapid troop movement from the cliff top to street level was greatly hindered by the distance that the men would have to cover. If an attacking force had tried to make a landing on the harbour or beach at Dover, troops on the Heights would have had to make their way along from the Drop Redoubt or Citadel to the original South Entrance (now the site of the Western Heights Roundabout), along what is now Snargate Street to meet the enemy; a route of almost a mile and a half, when troops were barracked only some 300 feet above sea level! This was hardly an ideal scenario and in 1804 construction started on the Grand Shaft, which had been designed by Lieutenant-Colonel William Twiss. The triple staircase itself is 140ft deep and at the base is a tunnel leading out to a guard room and from there out into the town. At the top is a further single staircase leading up to the parade ground of the Grand Shaft Barracks. This top staircase is inside what is known as the bowl, and was excavated out of the cliff top. The shaft itself was then dug vertically through the cliff and revetted with brick. Windows line the central shaft to allow light into the staircases, approximately every 30 stairs. As the threat of invasion passed, the Grand Shaft became something of a local attraction, and there are stories of a Mr William Leith of Deal riding his horse up the Grand Shaft for a wager! What is clear is that in the Georgian period, there were no class distinctions attached to the triple staircase. It was simply to ensure rapid troop movement, when men of all ranks would have been deployed down any and all of the staircases in the event of an enemy attack. However, as the Victorian period progressed, class distinction became ever more apparent, and while no definitive documentation exists, the most popular theory states that the staircases were divided into “Officers and their Ladies”, “Sergeants and their Wives” and “Soldiers and their Women”. This has been supported by the fact that the Queen’s Regulations of the time clearly stated that there was to be no off-duty fraternisation between the ranks. As well as carrying troops, the Grand Shaft also had to carry the drainage from the Grand Shaft Barracks above. This had rather unpleasant consequences, and it was noted in a commission of 1858 that each time the privies were flushed, the force of the water would force sewer gas up through traps into the shaft, but also unfortunately into houses! The commission noted that a large tank with a foul air pipe was needed at the bottom of the shaft to counteract such obnoxious fumes! The guard room at the bottom of the shaft was part of a walled compound, which was found by the 1858 to be hopelessly inadequate as it was far too small to serve any function effectively. The original guardroom, coal bunker and ash pit were therefore demolished and a new compound constructed with an Officer’s guard room, two cells and a latrine and a gas meter house, which indicates the time that gas lighting was introduced to the Western Heights. Today only the gas meter house remains; all other structures were demolished.
On the third Sunday of the month between April and October, the Grand Shaft will be open free of charge for the public to visit. It will also be open for an extra weekend in September for the Heritage Weekend, and during the Western Heights Preservation Society’s open weekends.
