The KCS MSHKC09 rolls over the Stand Pipe Road crossing, south of Heavener, Oklahoma, on the Shreveport Sub.
Now, officially finished (Alright Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.) The last details are the rotating deck cannon and the lifeboats. I've wanted to build a Confederate sidewheel steamer since I built the Ironclad USS Cairo a couple of years back, and when I found the reference material, I knew it was time. The only problem is it still needs a companion vessel to spar with!
Launceston is a city that prides itself on restrained 19th century architecture. But then in the 1970s developers got the upper hand and ugly was in. Thank goodness heritage laws have since been introduced to protect our treasures, but we are still left with eyesores like this.
But honestly? They are a photographer's dream in settings like this.

Commerce Court is a cluster of four office buildings in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located in the financial district on King Street and Bay Street. The main tenant is the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
The first building, now known as Commerce Court North, was built in 1930 as the headquarters of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, a precursor bank to the current main tenant. Designed by the firm Pearson and Darling, the 34-storey tower was the tallest building in the British Empire/Commonwealth until 1962. At the time of its construction, the building was one of the most opulent corporate headquarters in Canada.
In 1972, three other buildings were erected, thus creating the Commerce Court complex: Commerce Court West designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners (the tallest building in the complex, at 57 storeys, and the tallest building in Canada from 1972–1976), Commerce Court East (13 storeys), and Commerce Court South (5 storeys). In 1994, Zeidler Partnership Architects was commissioned to renovate the Commerce Court urban plaza, the banking area at the base of Commerce Court West, and the below-grade retail area.

Colorful houses in the town Icod de Los Vinos on Tenerife :)
Smile on Saturday - theme: "Vivid orange" :)
Icod de los Vinos is a municipality in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the island of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands (Spain). It is located on a continuous smooth slope that stretches from the extensive forests of Canary Island Pine down to the sea, and has almost 10 km of shoreline. The city is surrounded by fertile valley, and its streets and corners offer views of the volcanic mountain Teide, as well as dense pine forests which descend from its summit to Icod's higher-altitude districts. Its banana plantations, orchards and vineyards give rise to a lively commerce. In Icod, close to the Church of San Marcos, stands a famous dragon tree, which is reputed to be a thousand years old. While no study seems to have confirmed such longevity for the tree (dracos do not produce annual rings with which to tell their ages; the tree is more likely to have an age in the hundreds of years), it is the long-time symbol of Icod.

The clouds were not cooperating when Norfolk Southern heritage units met at NS Rossville Yard in West Tennessee. Central of Georgia NS 8101 leads NS 23N into the yard. Illinois Terminal NS 1072 and Monongahela NS 8025 are on point for NS 202 that will depart later in the evening.
Along Route 66 through Commerce, Oklahoma.
Now, mind you, I'm a little confused by this place. I'm not sure if it was a real gas station, or if it was built for display for Route 66.
And the reason I say this is because it is built into the side of a brick building, rather than a stand-alone structure as most gas stations are. Who knows?
The ICC has a giant Light installation with a ticker.

U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce delegates open 21st annual convention. Washington, D.C., June 19. Delegates numbering 2,000 met today at the opening session of the 21st annual convention of the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce. Serious matters were discussed by the male element but the girls decided to lighten the minds and open the eyes of all beholders by following the vagaries of the weather, one day cool, another day warm so-o-o the photographer brought home a 'hot cool' picture - left to right: Margaret Scott, Nome, Alaska; Betty [...], St. Petersburg, Florida; Reuben Coleman, Daytona Beach, Florida; and Minook Motschman, Fairbanks, Alaska.

These 2 bottle kilns in Longton were built in the late 19th century as part of the Commerce Works pottery. The pottery was run by the Chetham family from 1796 - 1869 and then taken over by H.J Aynsley in 1873. Final closure came in the 1990s and the site has stood derelict since. The building is listed Grade II but I doubt that will save it.
