The resemblance to the Hernando Mississippi Taco Felix is uncanny: flic.kr/p/o5xdCo. If the Hernando location started out as a Church's Chicken, it was definitely remodeled sometime later into a Long John Silver's. It's run as LJS in Hernando was likely very short however, since few people seem to even remember it!

Former Long John Silvers, 1975-built, Hwy. 72 near Cass St., Corinth MS
Built for William Leigh, a recent convert to Roman Catholicism. Work began in mid 1850's but efforts abandoned at end of 1860s. Pugin the original architect but he withdrew at an early stage fearing lack of money to complete the enterprise. His place taken by Benjamin Bucknall, an enthusiastic friend, follower and translator of Viollet-le-Duc, the French Gothicist and architectural theorist. Accordingly, everything was to be of stone, including staircases, gutters, downpipes and the bath. Green Man boss in chapel

The platform of Old City Hall Station. The curved track made the station impractical with newer, longer trains, and proximity to the newer Brooklyn Bridge station caused it to shut down in 1945.

The Roman city of Leptis Magna on the Libyan coast, about 50 miles east of Tripoli, is perhaps the greatest single place I have ever visited. That was in 1981 and because of the appalling turn of events in Libya I'm unlikely ever to return.
So the nearest I can get are these remains of mighty Leptis which stand in Windsor Great Park, near Virginia Water Lake.
It was in 1816 that Col. Hanmer Warrington, British Consul General in Tripoli, thought that some Roman masonry might make a splendid gift to the Prince Regent, later George IV. Thus 22 granite columns, 15 marble columns, 10 capitals and other bits and pieces were plundered from Leptis and shipped to the British Museum where they stayed for ten years. In 1826 they were taken to Windsor Great Park and erected as a fanciful ruin which was a key element in the English Landscape Movement.
The Leptis ruins were restored in 2008-9.
Puente de la Culebra, en la Casa de Campo (Madrid), diseñado por Francesco Sabatini en el siglo XVIII.
Construido en estilo barroco, el puente combina el ladrillo rojo, presente en sus arcos, con el granito, que domina su parte superior.
Chiostro Medievale in stile romanico-gotico, dove spesso si tengono mostre ed eventi. Secondo la tradizione questo era uno dei luoghi prediletti da Dante Alighieri durante i suoi soggiorni a Bologna. Qui studiava e rifletteva, e pare che alcuni dei capitelli del chiostro abbiano ispirato alcune forme di espiazione descritte nel Purgatorio.
État de la construction en 1974. En septembre de cette même année, je fus parmi l'un des premiers occupant dans les locaux d'Hydro-Québec. La construction n'était pas terminée.

Between June to December 1918, the Bavarian Reserve-Jäger-Bataillon 1 had lost 27 men. Unfortunately, I did not find any numbers of fallen soldiers of the other German units in Georgia. I estimate that in total some 60-70 had died during that period, mostly due to diseases.
In and around Tbilisi, probably some 40 Germans had died who were buried in a cemetery on a hill east of town, I assume Kukia cemetery.
I had spend several hours searchig for their tombs on the huge area, even with the help of a young student. Noone knew that Germans were in Georgia in 1918 and even less about any tombs of Germans in the cemetery.
Most likely, the tombs were cared by the German community but after they were transported to Kazakhstan in 1941 on Stalin's order, it was common that German tombs were destroyed. Today, it seems all tombs of those Germans who had helped Georgia have faded as the memory of these men.

I think I made this photograph west of Central Park, but no guarantees. (I could probably figure it out by reviewing the photographs before and after this one, but it doesn't seem too important. Let me know if you disagree!)
This is representative of one way I shoot urban subjects. I'm pretty certain that what happened here first was that I saw the interesting colors and forms of the tall building, with its red bricks and pure white trim, steps, and neat black fence. I also saw the juxtaposition of the irregular and natural forms of the two trees (and a few other bits of greenery) with the rigid and angular forms of brick and trim. No doubt, at about that point I saw the woman walking up the street — so I framed the photograph and waited for her to enter the frame, timing a quick series of three shots as she passed in front of the building carrying her cup of coffee, an iconic signifier of the new urban resident.
