A shot of some cast iron buildings on Broome St in the SoHo district of Manhattan.There are 26 blocks with approximately 500 buildings in SoHo,with about 250 of them incorporating cast-iron architectural elements (mostly on the façades).The district came to the public's attention for being an area that had artist's lofts and art galleries during the 1960s.The artists were attracted to the high ceilings and large windows used to display their works.Today,SoHo consists mostly of a variety of shops ranging from upscale trendy boutiques to national and international chain store outlets.In 2010 there were three times as many boutiques than at galleries.Many of the chain stores are on Broadway,about three blocks north of this shot and runs between Houston St in the east and Canal St in the west.SoHo was designated NYC-Cast Iron Historic District landmark in 1973.
Various kinds of cladding appeared to be used to maintain the integrity of this older South Okanagan Barn.

'Why be a copy, when you were born an original'
Partially painted in Barn Red.
Sir Walter Scott once described Glen Lyon as the longest, loneliest and loveliest glen in Scotland, how true he was, as near to the hamlet of Camusvrachan within the glen, lies a cluster of old stone cottages at Balmenoch where you can venture up Gleinn Da-Eigg and eventually encounter one of the glens most striking rock formations, “Fionn’s Rock” or “The Praying hands of Mary” This was my autumnal excursion to see and photograph them for the first time, and I was amazed at the beauty of not only the stones themselves but the view they commanded looking right down Glen Lyon itself. Spectacular to say the least.
There is nothing in the world more beautiful than the forest clothed to its very hollows in snow. It is the still ecstasy of nature, wherein every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed, every intricacy of twig, is clad with radiance. ~ William Sharp
The weather continues to be wet and windy. Today bands of rain are passing over and tonight wind speeds up to 56 mph are forecast.
This view is from Westfields Lane over the ford at Mill Beck (stream) to Scotts Hill in the village of Thorner, West Yorkshire.
Thorner village is 8 miles southwest of Wetherby and has no street lighting
The village appears in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Torneure" (also "Tornoure") means "thorn bank". The ancient parish of Thorner covered 4400 acres in the wapentake of Skyrack in the West Riding of Yorkshire

Crest of Mount Rainier, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
At 14,411 feet [4392 meters] the crest of Tahoma/Rainier is typically covered in snow year round. But the heat waves this summer have melted most of the snowpack, leaving more rock exposed than I have ever seen on this mountain. I have been sad to see it looking so bereft, but it has also offered a very different view of the mountain, especially when seen up close.
When clad in its usual protective vesture of snow, the mountain seems aloof, maintaining an air of mystery and distance. It asks for deference and awe and is granted that without a thought.
Shorn of that icy impenetrable surface, the layers beneath are fully exposed. The mountain seems approachable, touchable, vulnerable. It permits an intimacy of acquaintance that previously seemed impossible.
And there is a beauty in those revelations, in those bare contours that entice the eye and speak of untold years. One feels there must be a multitude of stories in those lines and folds and shadowed spaces.
I fervently hope that once the snow returns it will remain as it should and I will not see those rocks again. Yet somehow it changes things, when one has seen the long kept secrets a formerly forbidding mountain holds inside. I will always know what I have seen there. I wonder if the mountain knows?

A photographer's favorite.
A small wood framed, Gothic Revival building, it is quite straightforward in design, with a small narthex at the front of the rectangular nave, a small bell tower over the entrance and a small altar extending out the rear. The bell tower is of interesting design, rising out of the gable of the narthex, with a shingled steeple like a little brown helmet, surmounted by a wooden cross. The belfry vents, with gable tops, are open all around, exposing the 26 inch bell which still hangs within. The building is clad entirely in shingles, many of which are now coming adrift, indicating its recent years of inactivity. All openings are rectangular, lacking Gothic arches, doubtless concessions to economics and the need to complete the church in a timely fashion.
Spences Bridge is a community in the Canadian province of British Columbia, situated 35 km north east of Lytton and 44 km south of Ashcroft. In 1892, the population included 32 people of European ancestry and 130 First Nations people. There were five general stores, three hotels, one Church of England and one school. Wikipedia

Friends: Will be posting and commenting periodically while in ATX.
A view of the main entrance to Austin's City Hall. Built of Texas limestone and sitting on the site of a once-raucous 19th Century bordello district, Austin’s copper-clad City Hall, completed in 2004, is the work of lead architect Antoine Predock, principal of Antoine Predock PC. Prior to 2004 Austin’s City Council had occupied a Municipal Building that had last been expanded in 1938, largely funded by the Public Works Administration.
Austin wanted its city hall building to fit the spirit of the city, which the Dallas Morning News has described as a "crazy-quilt vitality, that embraces everything from country music to environmental protests and high-tech swagger." The building's angular design has been widely praised. Predock has been quoted as saying that he designed the building "not as a "suit-and-tie" city hall, but rather as a reflection of the warm informality that characterizes Austin."
Austin is the capital of the State of Texas, as well as the seat of Travis County. With a population of just under one million residents, Austin is the 11th largest city in the United States. The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Area, now with a population of 2.3M, is one of the fastest growing large metropolitan areas in the country having added more than 579,000 residents since 2010.

Passau, Germany. From left, the scaffold-clad Old Town Hall tower in the background, the tower of the Church of St. Paul in the foreground, and the three towers of Dom St. Stephan at right.
I have some interior photos from St. Paul I might post.
I like the cartoonish feel here, that comes from compensating for the grey day and the bus window!

Faneuil Hall, part of the Boston National Historical Park and a well-known stop along the Freedom Trail, has served as a marketplace and meeting hall since 1742. Known as the "Cradle of Liberty", it was the site of several important events of the American Revolution.
"The Samuel Adams statue stands behind Faneuil Hall on Congress Street, and is the work of Miss Anne Whitney. It represents the Revolutionary patriot, clad in the citizen's dress of his period, standing erect, with folded arms, and with a determined look in his finely chiseled face.
The inscription on the monument states "Samuel Adams 1722–1803 – A Patriot – He organized the Revolution, and signed the Declaration of Independence. Governor – A True Leader of the People. Erected A. D. 1880, from a fund bequeathed to the city of Boston.
I saw this derelict hotel/pub by the roadside on our recent visit to Devon and couldn't resist taking a few shots of it. From the signs It looks like it is going to be knocked down to be replaced by houses. I took out most of the colour from the photo but like the touch of red with the ivy.

On our only full day in Singapore we visited Gardens By The Bay for the second time. It really is a remarkable place and perhaps this dome is the piece de resistance; an artificial mountain created inside a glass dome that resembles the conditions you would find in a cloud forest.
The Cloud Forest is higher but slightly smaller of the two domes at 0.8 hectares (2.0 acres). It replicates the cool moist conditions found in tropical mountain regions between 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) and 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) above sea level, found in South-East Asia, Central- and South America. It features a 42-metre (138 ft) "Cloud Mountain", accessible by an elevator, and visitors are able to descend the mountain via a circular path where a 35-metre (115 ft) waterfall provides visitors with refreshing cool air.
The "Cloud Mountain" itself is an intricate structure completely clad in epiphytes such as orchids, ferns, peacock ferns, spike- and clubmosses, bromeliads and anthuriums. The design by Grant Associates was inspired by the Maiden Hair Fungus and consists of a number of levels, each with a different theme, including The Lost World, The Cavern, The Waterfall View, The Crystal Mountain, The Cloud Forest Gallery, The Cloud Forest Theatre and The Secret Garden.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee ...

on the trail to Varden viewpoint (Molde panorama)
Most of my pictures are taken in and around the city of Molde, in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.
From the Varden viewpoint (407 m.a.s.) there is a fantastic view over the town of Molde, the fjord with the islands, and the famous Molde panorama with its 222 partially snow-clad peaks.
Geum urbanum, also known as wood avens, herb Bennet, colewort and St. Benedict's herb, is a perennial plant in the rose family, which grows in shady places in Europe and the Middle East. It is introduced in North America, where it forms natural hybrids with Geum canadense.
