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.

Granite blocks at the base of the Galveston, Texas, Seawall help prevent damages from waves and storm surges.
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.

This line of blocks and pulleys below deck on board the HMS Discovery are very well preserved considering their age.
The Arizona Central's arrival into Drake is generally timed quite well within 30 minutes of Sunrise this time a year. Every once in a while with some luck, the train will appear just after the sun pops over the hills. With the last five miles being a rather linear stretch of East-West railroad, this can line up quite well for a glint shot at select locations. During my two weeks here, I lucked out twice with the timing!
The set of first gen EMD power blow a puff of smoke keeping their train moving on the home stretch to Drake.
Fun fact: With how rare this railroad runs (especially with more than a few cars), it is quite incredible to me that the Flickr satellite map caught a monster 39-car(!!) train heading for Clarkdale at this spot. Check out the geo-tag!
Het Holocaustmonument (formele naam: Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas) in Berlijn is een monument ter herdenking van de Jodenvervolging tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het bestond uit 2711 betonblokken variërend in hoogte van 20 cm tot 4,70 meter met een onderlinge tussenruimte van 95 cm. Door een bouwfout is een blok voor onderzoek verwijderd en niet meer terug geplaatst, waardoor er nu nog maar 2710 betonblokken staan. Onder het veld met de blokken is een expositieruimte ingericht. De Amerikaanse architect Peter Eisenman heeft het monument ontworpen. Het veld met de golvende blokken roept volgens hem een gevoel van desoriëntatie en isolement op en is symbolisch voor de ervaringen van de Joodse bevolking tijdens het nazibewind.
The Holocaust monument (formal name: Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas) in Berlin is a memorial to commemorate the persecution of the Jews during the Second World War. It consisted of 2711 concrete blocks varying in height from 20 cm to 4.70 meters with a spacing of 95 cm between them. Due to a construction error, a block for investigation was removed and not put back, so that there are now only 2710 concrete blocks. An exhibition space has been set up under the field with the blocks. The American architect Peter Eisenman designed the monument. The field with the undulating blocks evokes, according to him, a sense of disorientation and isolation and is symbolic of the experiences of the Jewish population during the Nazi regime.

LOCATION CHALLENGE : Photographers that choose to participate in the challenge can come over to my parcel, Noshinima's Neighborhood and do an image anywhere in my city. You will be allowed two hours to use any posestands or props that you would like to add and are allowed to bring any friends you want to join you in your shoot. You are also allowed to make the shoot as safe or as adult as you like. The only rule is that you do the shoot within the city block. Take your time to have a look around to see where in the block would make a great place for your image.
2) Upload the finished image onto Flickr and place the hashtag #NoshsHoodChallenge3 on either the title or the description.
3) YOU MUST TAG 10 PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE TAKE THIS CHALLENGE ON YOUR UPLOAD OF YOUR SHOOT! NO MORE, NO LESS! I have had several people during previous challenges that have not followed this simple rule so I am making it ALLCAPS to get the point across. Link them to this post and explain the rules to them as well. They must also tag 10 of their friends that they would like to see do this challenge if they themselves choose to participate as well. You must tag people that are actual active photographers on Second Life. Tagging pages dedicated to advertising a store, tagging real life photographers and tagging empty profiles does not count and is against the rules. Also, although you are permitted to do this if you desire, tagging me and tagging yourself will not count towards the number of 10 photographers you are tagging.

This appears to be an old horse mounting block by the gate to someone’s garden. I cannot even begin to count the times we’ve walked passed this and not noticed it before. If it hadn’t have been for the snowdrops we probably never would have spotted it.
I suppose it will come in handy now if anyone should want to climb over the drystone wall.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Amsterdam - Spaarndammerplantsoen.
Spaarndam Carré, block 1.
The "Spaarndammercarré" is a residential complex of four blocks in the Amsterdam School style of architecture, completed in 1921.
Although the blocks are not as elaborately designed as the other Amsterdam School buildings in the neigbourhood, they are clearly from the same period, given the many ornate details. There is special masonry and there are small wrought iron decorations.
Blok 1 van het Spaarndammercarré.
Het Spaarndammercarré is een woningbouwcomplex uit 1921 in de Spaarndammerbuurt, ontworpen door het bureau van de architecten Gulden en Geldmaker (!).
Hoewel de blokken niet zo uitbundig zijn ontworpen als de overige Amsterdamse School uit de buurt van Michel de Klerk, komen ze - gezien de vele sierlijke details - duidelijk uit dezelfde tijd (amsterdamse-school.nl).

1968 Camaro. The 454 had to be an engine swap, I believe the largest big block motor available on the sixty eight's was the 396ci
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 . . .
An almost blocked off section of stream near Takua Pa, Phang Nga, Thailand. We could just about wriggle through in kayaks.
