I have posted this building before, but I wanted to shoot it again and see if I could get a bit of a different angle.
This is the Deloitte building in downtown Vancouver, a 24 storey commercial high rise. Each cube has four storeys. If you zoom in, you'll see that the cubes at the right are concrete - apparently, they are going to be green walls, so hopefully we will soon see plants growing up there.
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
Preparing two pieces of paper (20x20cm, glassine, grid 1:24) using square twists.
Curious what happened next? ;-))) Look here.
Have a nice day!
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.

"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).

From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
(Matthew 16:21)
216 224-6 von T4R fährt mit ihrem Messzug an den Resten der Blockstelle Thondorf vorbei. Diese schon Anfang der 1990er Jahre aufgelassene Blockstelle liegt gut 2 Kilometer vom Ort Thondorf entfernt mitten im Nirgendwo.
T4R's 216 224-6 with a measuring train next to the old block post of Thondorf. This block post lays dormant for more than 30 years and so not much is left but the hull of the building.

I was amazed to stumble across half a block of mostly hidden abandoned row houses in the middle of north Detroit. The surrounding blocks are mostly empty now. Just vacant overgrown lots and dark empty buildings.

This picture was taken in St. Peter’s Square, Manchester, UK, prior to the sun setting behind the Midland Hotel, (building on the right). I was trying to capture the sun setting above the distant tower; yet another Office Block going up in Manchester’s City Centre. Unfortunately the sun was shining above a band of cloud and therefore right into my lens so the image I was trying to capture never materialised, but I did manage to capture a silhouette of this chap on his bike riding towards me. Fortunately he turned right before running into me.
This image has not been toned; it is, as it was, at the time of taking the picture.
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 . . .
North Block is the Ministry of Home Affairs offices for the Government of India. The building has references of old Mughal and British architecture.

My heart is broken. These once substantial buildings on the town square across the street from Clay County Courthouse, have been demolished.

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.
