Thank you so much for your views, comments and faves! They are encouraging as I continue on my photographic journey.
Royal Bank Tower, Royal Bank Plaza, Toronto, headquarters of RBC and built in the 1970s after the bank decided to move its home office from Montreal to Toronto. The tower is 591 feet tall. The exterior is clad in gold-bronze glass. The North and South towers contain 14,000 windows that project from the facade to form angular bays set into brushed aluminum frames. The glass for the windows was manufactured by Canadian Pittsburgh Industries, and was coloured using 2,500 oz of gold, valued at $70 (Cdn) per pane at the time.
Morning light falling on the Gorgeous Himalayas. Peaks are so nearby that I dont need a 70-300 or even 55-200.

The snow-clad Jungfrau (right) is 4,158 metres (13,642 ft) high and is one of the main summits of the Bernese Alps. The Jungfraujoch (left) -Top of Europe at 3454 metres (11,332 ft) above sea level.
Crafted in wooden cladding, this was the first monument to be place in the Arboretum. It is a tribute to the 49th Infantry West Riding Division and was dedicated on 7th June 1998. It is 9ft long and 5ft high, created by the Essex Woodcarvers and took a year to carve.
Inside the bear is a time capsule containing the names of all the Members of the 49th Division who did not come home, together with relevant documents and letters.
No self respecting 55 year old should be seen in a dress like this. Fortunately, I have very little self respect. I blame the wonderful Cindy for egging me on.
Clad in white overalls, the maintenance guy has just got off PPM Class 139, 139001 and makes his way along Platform 1 of Stourbridge Junction. He had just made a journey along the branch to Stourbridge Town and back aboard 001.

The Inn at the Pier in Pismo Beach has an old-fashioned wooden look, but at street level it has a nice looking stone wall, as seen here, seemingly without cement between the flat bricks, because it is actually just a thin layer of stone cladding in front of cinder blocks. I assume that the “wood” above it is actually vinyl cladding...
Interesting reflective cladding on a nearby closed down warehouse makes for a stunning image as the sun sets bringing out the colour perfectly.
An Adidas trainer clad spotter lurks in the shadows as class 86 no. 86017 sweeps effortlessly through Nuneaton with a Euston express during the heatwave and drought stricken summer of 1976. (Oh for one of those again.....)
There was never a shortage of spotters here - as well as WCML traffic, the flyover in the background usually threw up a few freight on the Leicester - Water Orton route, including pairs of class 20s and the occasional class 44. The then open Daw Mill Colliery, the largest coal mine in the West Midlands, was located just a few miles along the line in the Water Orton direction.
86017 was originally numbered E3146 when introduced in 1965, before subsequent renumbering as 86317 and 86417 in 1980 and 1985 respectively. Sadly it was one of those that didn't last the course and met its maker in 2004 at CF Booth, Rotherham.
Would quite like the elegant platform bench in my back garden.

The Hungarian pavilion which was next to the UK one at Expo Milano 2015. When I visited it in May, there wasn't much inside except for a big hall with a grand piano (perhaps for recitals of music by Liszt) and many framed photographs on the walls.
You can see a small section of the façade of a very modern building with an unusual façade cladding. The window, which also has an unusual design, almost looks like a triangle...

Cette église romane est connue sous le nom de Cathédrale du Nebbio, rappelant son rôle d’église-mère de cette fertile micro-région (surnommée la Conca d’Oro). Elle se trouve à la limite de Saint-Florent le long de la petite route qui remonte vers Poggio d'Oletta par la Strette di San Germanu. Lors de sa consécration elle reçue le double vocable associant la Vierge de l’Assomption (Santa Maria Assunta) et San Fiorenzo. Du XIIe siècle elle a été construite entre 1125 et 1140. Elle est évoquée également dans deux documents plus anciens datant de 1138 et 1145. Le premier document dans lequel elle est clairement nommée est un acte du cartulaire de la chartreuse de Calci datant de 1176 (elle y apparaît comme Ecclesia Sanctae Mariae Nebulensis). . La Cathédrale de Nebbio a été le siège du diocèse de Nebbio jusqu'en 1789, date de sa suppression et de son rattachement au diocèse d'Ajaccio.
Suite à l'insécurité des côtes et à la malaria qui sévissait alors, l’église fut abandonnée par les évêques. Au début du XVIe siècle Agostino Giustiniani, évêque du Nebbio, fait restaurer la cathédrale et lui adjoint un clocher (détruit au XIXe). Malgré ces travaux, en 1576 le monument est encore abandonné. Il est même décrit sans toiture, lors d'une visite de Mgr Sauli, alors évêque d'Aléria. Au XIX siècle P. Mérimée contribuera à la faire classée monument historique (1875).
La cathédrale est d'architecture romane pisane. Elle a été construite durant la période dite « de paix pisane » qui s'est installée avec l'administration de l'île par Pise, à partir du XIe siècle. Tous les édifices religieux de cette époque sont dits « pisans ». La façade occidentale est une des plus réussies de l’architecture romane corse : plus élaborée que celle de la cathédrale de Mariana dont elle s’inspire, elle a plus de relief avec sa décoration sculptée et ses cinq arcatures aveugles du premier niveau, reprise par trois autres à l’étage. L’édifice est construit en calcaire presque blanc provenant des carrières de Mercurio. A l’intérieur, les similitudes avec la cathédrale de Mariana sont encore plus évidentes, du fait de la répartition de l’espace en trois nefs séparées et les mêmes proportions dans les volumes. Avec Santa Maria Maggiore de Bonifacio (partiellement d’époque romane), la cathédrale du Nebbio fait partie des trois seules églises en état utilisant ce plan en Corse. Elle mesure 27,75 m de long, 13,55 m de large et 13 m de haut.
Les reliques conservées dans l’église sont décrites par Mérimée (Notes d’un voyage en Corse) : « Trompé par des renseignements inexacts, je m’attendais à trouver, à Saint-Florent, des reliquaires anciens ; mais je n’y vis qu’une châsse toute moderne, envoyée de Rome, et contenant un squelette revêtu d’un habit de guerrier romain (vrai style d’Opéra), tout couvert de mauvais oripeaux et de verroteries. Ce sont les reliques de saint Florus qui, en compagnie de sainte Flore, a le patronage de la ville de Saint-Florent. Tous les deux sont fort vénérés dans le pays, et quelques stylets rouillés, quelques pistolets hors d’état de faire feu attestent les conversions qu’ils ont opérées. »
Mgr Guasco, évêque du Nebbiu (1770 à 1773), désirant donner à son diocèse une sainte relique, demanda au pape Clément XIV, de lui donner la dépouille d’un soldat martyr romain du IIIe siècle, ensevelie dans les catacombes Saint Sébastien à Rome. La dépouille du martyr chrétien fut exhumée et soigneusement rangée dans une chasse de bois de cèdre doré, après avoir été paré de sa tunique brodée aux perles fines, de sa couronne de fleurs et sa palme de martyr ainsi que de ses attributs guerriers (le jeune soldat avait été soldat du Christ). La fête de la précieuse relique est célébrée à Saint Florent, tous les trois ans, le lundi de Pentecôte.
This Romanesque church is known as the Cathedral of Nebbio, recalling its role as mother church of this fertile micro-region (nicknamed the Conca d'Oro). It is on the border of Saint-Florent along the small road that goes up towards Poggio d'Oletta by the Stretto di San Germanu. At her consecration she received the double term associating the Virgin of the Assumption (Santa Maria Assunta) and San Fiorenzo. From the 12th century it was built between 1125 and 1140. It is also mentioned in two older documents dating from 1138 and 1145. The first document in which it is clearly named is an act of the cartulary of the Charterhouse of Calci dating from 1176 ( she appears there as Ecclesia Sanctae Mariae Nebulensis). . The Cathedral of Nebbio was the seat of the diocese of Nebbio until 1789, date of its suppression and its attachment to the diocese of Ajaccio.
Due to the insecurity of the coast and the malaria that was raging at the time, the church was abandoned by the bishops. In the early sixteenth century Agostino Giustiniani, bishop of Nebbio, restored the cathedral and added a bell tower (destroyed in the nineteenth century). Despite these works, in 1576 the monument is still abandoned. He is even described without a roof, during a visit of Bishop Sauli, then Bishop of Aléria. In the nineteenth century P. Mérimée will contribute to the classification of historical monument (1875).
The cathedral is Romanesque pisan architecture. It was built during the so-called "Pisan peace period" which settled with the administration of the island by Pisa, from the eleventh century. All the religious buildings of this period are called "pisans". The western facade is one of the most successful of Corsican Romanesque architecture: more elaborate than that of the cathedral of Mariana from which it is inspired, it has more relief with its carved decoration and five blind arches of the first level, taken by three others upstairs. The building is built in almost white limestone from the quarries of Mercurio. Inside, the similarities with the cathedral of Mariana are even more obvious, because of the division of the space into three separate naves and the same proportions in the volumes. With Santa Maria Maggiore Bonifacio (partly Romanesque), the Nebbio Cathedral is one of only three churches in state using this plan in Corsica. It is 27.75m long, 13.55m wide and 13m high.
The relics preserved in the church are described by Merimee (Notes of a voyage in Corsica): "Deceived by inaccurate information, I expected to find, in Saint-Florent, old reliquaries; but I saw only a modern shrine, sent from Rome, and containing a skeleton clad in a Roman warrior's garment (true Opera style), all covered with bad tinsel and glassware. These are the relics of Saint Florus who, in the company of Saint Flore, has the patronage of the city of Saint-Florent. Both are highly revered in the country, and some rusty stilettos, some pistols out of state of fire attest to the conversions they have made. "
Bishop Guasco, Bishop of Nebbiu (1770 to 1773), wishing to give his diocese a holy relic, asked Pope Clement XIV to give him the remains of a Roman martyr soldier of the third century, buried in the catacombs of San Sebastian in Rome . The remains of the Christian martyr were unearthed and neatly arranged in a hunt of gilded cedar wood, after being adorned with his fine pearl embroidered tunic, crown of flowers, martyr's palm and warrior attributes (the young man soldier had been a soldier of Christ). The feast of the precious relic is celebrated in Saint Florent, every three years, on Whit Monday.
Most of the fences behind the Mundt barn are on the way down. Here is another in the series from the Mundt farm but toward the Rockies. I suppose they thought that the corrugated iron would help protect the barn. This shows the confounding skies that I encountered. Here behind the barn, I found better fencing although none of the corrals could contain live stock. Only dead stock! The Mundt barn and the Meining barn, west on county road #4, were built by the same contractor and both north of the Little Thompson river. Both families were related through marriage. There are more possibilities than the Mundt barn out here. I think that I see another shack toward the mountains. Time to investigate. I found several prizes.
eDDie always finds barns for my agricultural collections. I have passed this place any number of times and it usually had a large dump bin in the view of the barn. This was shot north of Logmont and the barn. The place is about as abandoned as the fences.
A great sky showed up for a while and I raced north but could have found better skies an hour earlier. Any sky dictated a day of trolling around Mundt with the camera. There have been too many blank and milk skies lately. Still, better than India's new all-time record high temperature — 123.8 Kochistan degrees. These are the Rockies but will fill with folks from Miami and New Orleans with really wet foot ware. Too bad that we are locked in now. Kiss it good bye.
