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.

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).

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)
Mit einem Ganzzug, bestehend aus nagelneuen 90ft InnoWaggons für Rundholztransporte, war die für die HLG fahrende 185 630 von Alpha Trains in Richtung Westen unterwegs, als ich sie beim Verlassen des Esslinger Tunnels im Altmühltal fotografieren konnte. Das Bild entstand am 14. Mai 2022, als einige Güterzüge baustellenbedingt den Weg über Ingolstadt und Treuchtlingen nahmen.
With a block train consisting of brand new 90ft InnoWagons for log transports, the 185 630 of Alpha Trains driving for HLG was heading west when I was able to photograph it leaving the Esslingen tunnel in the Altmühl valley. The picture was taken on 14 May 2022, when some goods trains took the route via Ingolstadt and Treuchtlingen due to construction work.
NS local C46 out of Norfolk Southern's Pitcairn Yard and intermodal terminal sits amongst the shining gold ginkgo (pronounced ging-kho) trees that line both sides of the 4 track trench. They are stopped waiting on a signal at CP-PENN to proceed into Island Avenue yard to make their set outs and pick ups to take back to Pitcairn with them. On the east end of the train was 1 of the 2 pairs of NS GP33ECO's that are assigned to the Pittsburgh area to improve air quality and reduce emissions.
These trees are just a small part of Pittsburgh's beautiful Allegheny Commons Park West that is located just a block or 2 away from both the Pittsburgh Pirate's PNC Park and the Pittsburgh Steelers Heinz Field. Traditonally these leaves are always some of the last, if not the very last in the city to change before the winter arrives.
Oddly enough this year, they are not despite reaching their prime peak about 2 weeks later than usual. Some parts of the city still actually have green leaves on the trees as of November 23rd...and it's 1 day until Thanksgiving! Absolutely insanity. I've never seen anything like this before.
"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.
