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.

In Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND. Their park, their rules. There were a lot of frustrated motorists, not us, we loved it.
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.

"The life experience is composed of blocks. If we shall come to understand our blocks, we can live life to the fullest". My comment, interpretation of an exhibit in the San Francisco Museum Of Modern Art.
Rotated Blocks of Cambrian limestones and shales in landslide deposits on the sides of Shell Canyon in Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming are visible in roadcuts along US 14.
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.
