My 5 letters word is block.
I love shooting building blocks.
I had so many options for this but this is where I landed.
Happy Macro Mondays
A beaut of a butte, east of Lake Powell, on the far side of Antelope Island, which lies low in the foreground, shadowed just before sunset. Note the layering on the butte and the cliffs behind, indicating sandstones and shales laid down by sedimentary processes—completely different from the massive intrusive granite blocks in Monument Valley, which are remnants of volcanic activity.
The map location may not be accurate.

This was taken at Old Harbor in Block Island. Block Island is off the coast of Rhode Island and is a popular summer vacation spot for New Englanders. I got up early for sunrise, put my equipment in the basket of my bike are rode to the shore. The sunrise was a bust so I decided to look for other interesting spots to photograph.

The Pierre Bremond House is one of the 11 houses built between 1859 and 1910 that make up the Bremond Block Historic District. The block was added to National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and is considered one of the few remaining upper-class Victorian neighborhoods of the middle to late nineteenth century in Texas. Six of the eleven houses were built or expanded for members of the families of brothers Eugene and John Bremond, who were prominent in late-nineteenth-century Austin social, merchandising, and banking circles. Of these six residences, all but one were designed and built by the Austin contractor, George Fiegel.
The Pierre Bremond House sits in the center of the 400 block of W. Seventh St. between the John Bremond, Jr. House on its east side, and the Eugene Bremond House, the house of Pierre's father, on its west side. Built in 1898, the two-story, tan brick house was the last Bremond house to be built. It is a subdued late Victorian with a low-pitched hip roof, a double gallery, and an unobtrusive tower on the west side.
While the Pierre Bremond House may be the least ornate of all the houses, Pierre's home was the most spacious. Renovated in 2012, the house is currently owned by the Texas Classroom Teachers Association, who also own the John Bremond, Jr. home next door that serves as the association headquarters.

"Football is two things. It's blocking and tackling. I don't care about formations or new offenses or tricks on defense. You block and tackle better than the team you're playing, you win.”
-Vince Lombardi
That Lombardi quote came to mind when I was working on this image, created from a TV screen shot of a football game that I was watching that was played in a snowstorm on Saturday. The shot shows Michigan State running back Kenneth Walker III (number 9) in the grasp of a Penn State defender, as his teammates attempt to block for him. Walker was carrying the ball, though you can't see it here.
Just for fun, I grabbed a few shots of the screen during the game, and have dressed this one up with a painterly look for Sliders Sunday. I'm also submitting it for the Our Daily Challenge "Begins with F" theme (football).

Has this ever happened to you? I was all set to catch a nice view of the "City of Derailment" passenger train, pulling into Salt Lake City on the double track main. Unbeknownst to me, a ZLBDV intermodal was also on the approach, about about 10 cars ahead of the passenger train, blocking the view. I quickly repositioned myself in a desperate attempt to grab a photo as UP 4533's nose migrated into a patch of sun. See if you can spot the Rio Tinto copper mine . . .

After a rather long and cold winter, our days are getting warmer again. The last vestiges of ice are melting on our lakes and ponds, sometimes leaving blocks or shards of ice floating on the water.

The height of these blocks are about 1 meter high.
There has been a drug store on this corner since 1885. In the '20s it became part of the Block chain, and went independent in the '40s, and still survives today among a sea of chains... Second Avenue, East Village, NYC
Something I've noticed is how often I'll see some incredible shots while driving by and not stop and turn around for them, either out of lack of ambition or being unable to find a spot to turn around at. However, something about this scene compelled me to go out of my way to return. Displaying all reds to signify a train in block, the old school searchlight signals of the Canadian Pacific Cascade subdivision just East of Mission stand crooked, silhouetted in the evening glow as a storm slowly rolls over head.
