TLTX 553778 sits blocked up right outside the “engine house” on the north end of Wallingford’s Tilcon plant. I believe this engines trucks were shipped out for some heavy maintenance and should return to service within the coming weeks.
West Block glows in the evening light as tourists stroll around Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario. This building is the interim location of Canada's Parliament as the House of Commons undergoes a ten-year renovation project. The dome of the temporary House of Commons pops up above the roof of the West Block.
This facade belongs to a hotel near London's royal docs. I found it very structured and loved the texture of it, so I gave it a go.
Hope you enjoy it ;)

The blocks - A long exposure at high tide of 'The blocks', the iconic zig zag breakwater on the outer sea wall at St Monans.
The three minute or so exposure turns the Firth of Forth silky smooth whilst the receding clouds create a sense of motion in the sky.

Installed in the courtyard of MoMA-PS1. "Le Grand Soir" (The Big Night) by artist Yto Barrada
From the museum's website:
Yto Barrada (French-Moroccan, b. 1971) transforms the courtyard with a colorful arrangement of towering sculptures built from stacked concrete blocks, which visitors can sit on and explore. Barrada often mines the hidden histories embedded within architectural and geometric forms, revealing the intersections of material, political, and personal narratives. For Le Grand Soir, Barrada looks to the tradition of constructing human pyramids in Morocco, where their distinctive applications have ranged from martial arts and acrobatics to spiritual practices. Each of Barrada’s structures takes inspiration from an acrobatic formation used by Moroccan acrobats: tqal (weight), bourj tarbaite (tower of four), and bourj benayma ou chebaken (tower lift with net). They also draw on subjects as wide-ranging as Moroccan Brutalism and Barrada’s family lore, weaving together distinct historical moments of shapeshifting, surmounting barricades, and retooling architectures.

Even this block of apartments hasn't been spared from graffiti . . . artists or vandals?
The graphic pattern is part of the buildings design but I am not sure that in this case, the addition of the graffiti and splashes of paint are an enhancement.
One of the many new office blocks in the so-called Telekom-City in Darmstadt. If you ever wondered why stamps and phones were so expensive, this should tell you why.
Please view in full size for best effect.
5 images, processed with Photomatix 2.5 and Photoshop Elements 5, exposure times between 1/250 sec and 1/15 sec, at f6.3 and 10 mm.
This is what I get when I try to connect to flickr in Dubai...have found a way around the block but it is tedious
After World War II, and following considerable controversy, the City of Philadelphia agreed that it would transfer custody of the bell and Independence Hall, while retaining ownership, to the federal government. The city would also transfer various colonial-era buildings it owned. Congress agreed to the transfer in 1948, and three years later Independence National Historical Park was founded, incorporating those properties and administered by the National Park Service (NPS or Park Service).[69] The Park Service would be responsible for maintaining and displaying the bell.[70] The NPS would also administer the three blocks just north of Independence Hall that had been condemned by the state, razed, and developed into a park, Independence Mall.

I took a photograph of this precinct about a year ago and late last year returned here in late evening/early night. Quite a glum area of town, to my way of thinking.
Sometimes you've just got to surrender to the sodium...
Different atmosphere in a moment.
Today farewell to the topic of the night.
City lights, car headlights, and lasers from the roofs of building blocks. A light mix of an evening bathed in light rain.

One of the Acolytes of Zoom from the later arc of the New 52 line of comics. Just one of many new villains made for flash in new 52. (Even if the volumes past 4 sucked) Though she like the others didn't last long. ( R.i.p Black Mold, Mogul, Merge, Lash, Mashup, Magali, Selkirk, and a couple others I probably missed.) Couldn't make her actual look really well in purist so I made my own.
What looks like boulders in the foreground is actually blocks of ice that have glacial till embedded within them. The water entering Turnagain Arm has quite a bit of glacial till that has not settled out of the water, so when it freezes, the embedded glacial till does as well. This is at the end of Turnagain Arm near Portage, Alaska.

RSAF General Dynamics F-16D Block 52, Luke AFB. An unplanned stop by Luke yesterday yielded very few usable shots but I'll post a couple that were at least half decent. Sun was shining almost straight down the runway so not ideal.
Manchester has some lovely old buildings and some lovely new buildings. The Arndale tower is not one of those. From my hotel room on Exchange Square, the tower dominated the cityscape. It's a shame- the most hideous buildings always seem to be the biggest, exerting themselves over everything else.
The darker than usual night seemed to try and absorb the tower, but couldn't manage- the tower was too gloomy even for it.
