Designing and building of steam locomotives was potentially as lucrative, and certainly as cut-throat, as financing railroads themselves. Many small firms were born and died throughout the 19th century; some built only a few locomotives, others enjoyed success for several decades and employed hundreds of men. The entire steam locomotive production industry remained centered in the East. Steadily making its way to the top since its 1831 beginning was the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia. By the end of the 19th Century, many competing smaller builders found themselves unfavorably squeezed by the giant, including Brooks, Cooke, Dickson, Manchester, Pittsburgh, Rhode Island, Richmond, and Schenectady companies.
Each of these formerly independent companies became a production tentacle of the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) octopus. Baldwin and ALCO remained in head-to-head competition for nearly 50 years eventually, building diesel locomotives as well in the 1930s and 1940s. Both companies ¾ in this transition ¾ failed, leaving that field to General Electric and Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. In 1956, Baldwin ceased production; ALCO disappeared abruptly in 1969. This engine, the Sharp and Fellows #7, was originally built about 1902 with a 2-6-0 wheel arrangement for the Minnesota Land and Construction Company. In 1909, it was sold to C. H. Sharp Construction Company, who added a two-wheel trailing truck under the engine cab and then used the locomotive in the building of the Santa Fe Railway System through Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. During the First World War, #7 served at Camp Kearney, San Diego, and served during World War II at an assortment of ordnance depots, including Defense Ordnance at Fort Wingate, New Mexico and the Navajo Ordnance Plant at Flagstaff, Arizona.
Built in 1874 in the Romanesque style, the Kewaunee County Courthouse faces east and is a two story red colored brick structure. The building sits at the top of a rise. The east front has a square white portico. On either side of the entrance are three story red colored brick towers with white balustrade at the top. White limestone trims the corners of the old south section of the building. The building was enlarged and remodeled in 1902. The architect was A E Reynolds Green Bay and the contractor was Rademacher and Lange of Appleton. The building was enlarged in 1938. The architect was W C Weeks, Inc. of Sheboygan and the contractor was Jacob Houmes of Sheboygan, The old jail is located on the south side.
Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, today celebrated the first Connecticut-built CH-53K heavy-lift helicopter that will be delivered to the U.S. Marine Corps. This helicopter, which moves more troops and cargo more rapidly from ship to shore, was the first all digitally designed helicopter.
The CH-53K’s digital thread runs from design through production, maintenance, and sustainment, increasing mission availability while reducing pilot and crew workload.
This King Stallion™ helicopter will be stationed at Marine Corps Aviation Station New River in Jacksonville, North Carolina where Marines will conduct training flights and support the fleet with heavy-lift missions with the aircraft in preparation for the CH-53K’s first deployment in 2024. This heavy-lift helicopter is part of a 200 aircraft Program of Record for the Marine Corps with a total of 33 aircraft currently on contract and an additional nine on contract for long lead parts.
The CH-53K is the only sea-based, long range, heavy-lift helicopter in production and will immediately provide three times the lift capability of its predecessor.
The CH-53K will further support the U.S. Marine Corps in its mission to conduct expeditionary heavy-lift assault transport of armored vehicles, equipment and personnel to support distributed operations deep inland from a sea-based center of operations, critical in the Indo-Pacific region.
The new CH-53K has heavy-lift capabilities that exceed all other DoD rotary wing-platforms, and it is the only heavy-lifter that will remain in production through 2032 and beyond.

Strobist info: SB800 through umbrella from the cars left, SB600 through umbrella from the right. Everything in Manual Mode to balance ambient and flash. Triggered with CLS.
This is a very important shot for me since it shows that using flash doesn't always have to be "in your face" - unlike my "famous" elevator shots ;-) - but that flash is something that can subtly enhance a picture in a lot of different ways.
And that's all thanks to one man: David Hobby.
What a guy!
Built especially for recon and surveillance missions, the RC series Reconnaissance A.R.C. Bot will become the first line of defense for the Federation. With its long range and optical target acquisition sensors, advance subspace communication tapping protocols, high-caliber sniper blaster and long range engine thrusters, the RC series Bots can be dropped into place where suspected enemy activity is and run completely autonomous as it gathers intel.

A caravan had arrived at Sietch Al'kesh. The leader rode up on a brown mare and approached Ruppert.
"We are refugees from Hizrabel," he began. "We are all Ethereans or sympathizers. When the new regime took over they quickly made it clear that we were no longer welcome. We don't know what to do and are on our way to Revanna. Do you have room for us tonight?"
"My master welcomes all travelers," responded Ruppert. "We have food for you and plenty of accommodations. I know my master, Duncan, will want to hear more of your trials."

Built on the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, Te Whare Runanga (meeting house) was gifted by the Maori tribes to the nation of New Zealand in 1940 at the 100th anniversary celebrations of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.
It welcomes people of all tribes and nationalities and it is one of the few Whare Runanga that you are allowed to take photographs in.
Pou tokomanawa (central carved figure) represents Rahiri, the Ngapuhi chief (home tribe). Pou representing the other iwi (tribes) of New Zealand are placed in pairs around the walls of the interior, each displaying the ancestors and distinctive carving styles of their region (28 in all).
Each part of the meeting house symbolises a notable tribal ancestor with the ridge pole being the backbone, the rafters the ribs; and the interior is the chest and belly.

"Built in 2004, the award winning Treetops Adventure consists of seven individual suspension bridges and platforms, which get their lift from eight 30-ton, 250-year-old Douglas-firs. The attraction avoids penetrating bark, branch or trunk by using adjustable, non-invasive collards that exert less than a thumbprint’s worth of pressure per square inch. This gentle system accommodates continuous growth. Healthy, centuries-old trees and a breathtaking view-Treetops Adventure is unlike any canopy walk in the world."
What an exciting experience and the 500,000 multi-coloured lights strung along the bridges and park made it quite an experience. I was proud of myself for walking among the treetops. Walking in the canopy 33m (110ft) above the forest floor, my sister and brother-in-law inspired me to fully enjoy the moments. Lovely live seasonal music played.
Built for the Star Wars 40@40 for www.blocksmag.com/ December issue. Forgot to post up until I was going through pictures last night. This was a fun feature to work on, and I was happy with how my contributions came out. Forced perspective is always a challenge, but this one was not too bad.
Enjoy:)

Built in 1845 as the Wells Baptist Church; the last church service here was held in 1949, and the structure is currently a performing arts venue. Wells, New York.
The Atlantic puffin is sturdily built with a thick-set neck and short wings and tail. It is 28 to 30 cm (11 to 12 in) in length from the tip of its stout bill to its blunt-ended tail. Its wingspan is 47 to 63 cm (19 to 25 in) and on land it stands about 20 cm (8 in) high.
The male is generally slightly larger than the female, but they are coloured alike. The forehead, crown, and nape are glossy black, as are the back, wings, and tail. A broad, black collar extends around the neck and throat.
On each side of the head is a large, lozenge-shaped area of very pale grey. These face patches taper to a point and nearly meet at the back of the neck. The shape of the head creates a crease extending from the eye to the hindmost point of each patch, giving the appearance of a grey streak.
The eyes look almost triangular because of a small, peaked area of horny blue-grey skin above them and a rectangular patch below. The irises are brown or very dark blue, and each has a red orbital ring. The underparts of the bird, the breast, belly, and under tail coverts, are white.
By the end of the breeding season, the black plumage may have lost its shine or even taken on a slightly brown tinge. The legs are short and set well back on the body, giving the bird its upright stance when on land. Both legs and large webbed feet are bright orange, contrasting with the sharp, black claws.
The beak is very distinctive. From the side, the beak is broad and triangular, but viewed from above, it is narrow. The half near the tip is orange-red and the half near the head is slate grey. A yellow, chevron-shaped ridge separates the two parts, with a yellow, fleshy strip at the base of the bill.
At the joint of the two mandibles is a yellow, wrinkled rosette. The exact proportions of the beak vary with the age of the bird. In an immature individual, the beak has reached its full length, but it is not as broad as that of an adult. With time the bill deepens, the upper edge curves, and a kink develops at its base. As the bird ages, one or more grooves may form on the red portion. The bird has a powerful bite

Built in the 17th century, this church marks the transition of an European Mannerist architectonic style to a Portuguese Baroque style, with the great religious ostentation.
This stylistic combination marked since this period of Jesuit expansion, that spread out the Christ word all over the “new worlds”, colonizing and Christianizing many new territories.
The Church presents a latin cross plant, with one only nave, the main chapel quite evidenced from the rest of the architectonic set, profusely decorated with golden carved wood and rich paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as rich blue and white glazed tiles panels of the 17th century.
In the mid-1920s, a series of unfortunate events befell the town of Boynton. Plans for a new hotel were abandoned by Addison Mizner and his brother Wilson who eventually built the Cloister Inn in Boca Raton. in 1925, citrus canker was discovered in the town’s orange groves which led to their destruction. The town also began to suffer from severe financial problems resulting in the bank refusing to honor checks signed by the City Clerk and salaries for municipal staff being cut by up to 50%. The Florida Land Boom was beginning to wane at this time and two hurricanes in 1926 and 1928, caused extensive damage which added to the town’s problems. As the Depression hit, Boynton’s financial problems continued to mount and, in 1929, the Bank of Boynton failed.
Concerned residents from the east side of the Intracoastal Waterway were worried about the debt and informed the town they wished to separate from Boynton and start a new municipality. When bond holders began to press for payment on nearly $1 million of indebtedness, Boynton and the eastside residents reached an agreement whereby, upon assumption of half of the debt, a new municipality would be established on the east side of the waterway. The agreement was finalized in on April 17, 1931 with the formation of Boynton on the west side of the canal, and Boynton Beach on the east. In 1939, the Town of Boynton Beach changed its name to Ocean Ridge and, within two years, the Town of Boynton changed its name to the Town of Boynton Beach.
Before a bridge was built over the East Coast Canal (now the Intracoastal Waterway), crossings were made by means of a hand-operated lighter (barge) located at Ocean Avenue. Once on board, passengers would haul on a chain to pull the lighter to the other side.
The first bridge was built over the canal at Ocean Avenue in 1911. The wooden swing bridge was operated by a crank in the center section, pushed by the bridge-tender walking in a circle until it swung open. In 1924, the bridge-tenders were Wilbur and Jessie Forrey. Jessie would crank the bridge while Wilbur lowered a chain across the canal and collected the toll.
Construction of a new bridge began in 1935. The bridge was constructed from steel and was operated with a Scherzer rolling lift bascule, which was an unusual movable span found in only two other bridges in Florida. The span was designed by William Scherzer of Chicago and built by the Nashville Bridge Company. As the bridge was financed with Depression era relief funds given by the Federal Government, the design of the bridge was very plain3. The bridge was 121 feet long, 31 feet wide and carried two narrow lanes of traffic with sidewalks on each side.
In 1970, project development started for the construction of a new bridge at Boynton Beach Boulevard; however, a property owner who would have been impacted by the bridge relocation filed suit and the resulting arbitration ruled in his favor. The project was put on hold for several years and then two proposals were studied. The first was to relocate the new bridge to Boynton Beach Boulevard and the second was to replace the bridge on Ocean Avenue. In 1994, the permit for the Boynton Beach Boulevard bridge was rejected which left the Ocean Avenue proposal as the only option,
Construction of the new bridge started in November 1998 and the project was completed in March, 2001.

Built in 1931, this small Art Deco-style limestone-clad building was designed by Magnus Jemne to house the St. Paul Women's City Club. Located on an irregularly-shaped site at the corner of St. Peter Street and Kellogg Boulevard, the building echoes this condition in its design, with rounded facades that peel away from the street in places, with a more orthogonal base below. The building was sold to the Minnesota Museum of Art in 1972, and now houses an architectural firm. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
Built in 1896 as the Borough Theatre & Opera House, it was designed by Frank Matcham with seating for up to 3000.
It became the Rex Cinema in 1933, then a bingo hall in 1969 and later a disco and club/concert venue eventually closing in 2010. Today it is used by Zapspace trampolines.

Built in 1978 as Burlington Northern #7104, CEFX #3173 leads a pair of P&W B40-8's and a loaded unit ethanol train southbound through Millbury on a beautiful spring morning. Two CEFX SD40-2 's were leased by the P&W between 2013 and 2017, and used on many different occasions.
I never really cared much for the blue and white leasers, but seeing them from time to time was neat being that they were the only SD40's to ever be used on the P&W. The railroad had a chance in 2015 to by a handful of SD40's but went with the two famous SD70M-2's instead. Sadly, those units proved to be not worth the amount of money paid for them. They lasted on the P&W for a little under 2 years before being shipped out west by the G&W. And in retrospect, the SD40 purchase would've been much more fruitful for the railroad. Oh well!

Excerpt from wellingtoncityheritage.org.nz:
Built in 1910, this three storey Edwardian Baroque edifice has significant architectural value for its lively and decorative Beaux Arts façade and is one of the most distinctive buildings in the Cuba Street Heritage Area.
This building has historic value for its association with the Barber family, who operated their dye business from this site for over 70 years, and also for its designer, notable Wellington architect William Crichton. This building also has a long history of use as a physical culture and dance studio, has been home to Footnote Dance since the 1980s.
This distinctive building is part of a significant group of Edwardian commercial buildings on Cuba Street which make significant contribution to the Cuba Street Heritage Area.
The building façade has had relatively few intrusive modern alterations and retains substantial areas of original building fabric.
The Barber’s Building is a three storey Edwardian Commercial building and the lively, decorative Edwardian Baroque /Beaux Arts façade is one of the finest and most elaborate in the Cuba Street Heritage Area.
The original ground floor shop fronts and rusticated columns have unfortunately been replaced in a mish-mash of styles and finishes, but the façade above verandah level is substantially unaltered. The façade here is carefully articulated and the windows and ornamentation are deeply modelled. The unique pair of top storey lunette windows high-light the symmetrical composition of its façade and make a singular contribution to the character of the street. The square-headed and segmentally-arched windows on the upper floors are also prominently moulded and recessed. The façade is notable for the combination of rendered brick ornamentation, and for the polychromatic bands of rendered and plain facing brick, and three of these elaborate polychromatic pilasters tie the central window elements together. Although the polychromatic effect has been altered at the base of the pilasters where the brick and render has been over-painted. The building is capped by an arched pediment, with a heavily-decorated cornice below, and stucco festoons. This intriguing façade makes a strong positive contribution to the lively Edwardian character of the Cuba Street precinct.
The building is comprised of two separate retail units on the ground floor, and dance/ ballet studios on the floors above. The interior retains significant areas of original building fabric particularly in the stairwell which features a fine timber stair, skirting, panelled doors (including ironmongery) and the t&g timber wall linings.
