"What we have here... is a failure to communicate." Obsolete and showing decades of exposure to the elements, this old pay phone in Galway's Eyre Square has turned from resource to eyesore.
The growing popularity of Penarth beach and the need for better communications with Cardiff led to the Cardiff Steam and Navigation Company starting a regular ferry service between Cardiff and Penarth in 1856, which continued until 1903. Boats were loaded and unloaded at Penarth using a landing stage on wheels which was hauled up the beach.[1]
In the 1880s an attempt was made to construct a permanent pier, because of the need to find a safer way to unload larger boats. However, construction ground to a halt at an early stage when the London-based contractors went into liquidation.[1]

Finishing off the night with a drop in at the tree tunnel just before midnight.
This is lit by three sources: the communications building flood lights(behind me) are spilling on to the closest few trees. The mottled ground is lit by overhead moonlight. And finally, as Miguel was leaving, he walked out slowly with his flashlight aimed upward to underlight the canopy all the way to the back. I think he did an amazing job! I combined two exposures in a median blend to reduce high ISO noise. Keep in mind, to the naked eye, very little of this scene was visible at all; it was mostly pitch dark.
Lens is the DFA 90mm f/2.8 macro on the 645Z. 2 exposures were 124 sec and 71 sec.

Percival Proctor V G-AKIU at the Light Aircraft Association Rally at Leicester airfield on 29 August 2025. The aircraft was built at Percival’s Luton plant in early 1948 as AE129 but was immediately registered to Rolls-Royce Ltd in Derby as G-AKIU on February 20. Rolls-Royce used the aeroplane as a communications aircraft and company ‘hack’ at its Hucknall factory near Nottingham until 1962.

The sculpture is "Communications" by Haydn Davies -- this is in a hidden courtyard behind the Eaton's Centre. If it was facing a street this little area would be the draw of the city. Why the hell did they hide all these great places behind tall buildings?
Park Tower (formerly known as the Lykes Building) is a skyscraper located in downtown Tampa, Florida. It is Tampa's first high-rise tower. At the time of its completion in November 1973, it was the tallest in Florida, and is currently sixth-tallest in Tampa, at 458 feet (36 stories). It was the tallest building in Tampa until One Tampa City Center was built in 1981.
Park Tower is located in the heart of downtown Tampa directly across from The Tampa Riverwalk & Hillsborough River; Curtis Hixon and Gaslight Parks; the Glazer Children's Museum and the Tampa Museum of Art. It is within walking distance of the Tampa Convention Center, University of Tampa, and the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts.
In 2016 the tower was purchased by a joint venture consisting of affiliates of NYSE listed City Office REIT (NYSE: CIO), Feldman Equities LLC, and Tower Realty Partners for $79.75 million. The group completed a multi-million-dollar renovation in 2019. The most significant change at Park Tower is the modernization of the office building's façade by painting the exterior a lighter color and upgrading the main entrance. The building's amenities were upgraded with a modern lobby and the addition of Buddy Brew Coffee café. The office tower's updated design was created by internationally renowned architect Gensler.
Since acquiring the property, new leases have been signed including the headquarters relocation of CAPTRUST Advisors, LLC, Buddy Brew Coffee and Continuity Logic, LLC. Anchor tenants include BB&T, United States Department of Justice – US Attorney's Office, Level 3 Communications, and Lykes Insurance.
Park Tower is LEED EB Gold Certified and EPA Energy Star certified.
The tower's amenities include FedEx Office, U.S. Post Office, BB&T Bank, Grow Financial Credit Union, Pearl Salon, Nature's Table Café, a fitness center, conference room and a 6th-floor tenant lounge, lobby concierge and Buddy Brew Coffee.
Park Tower is the "Telco-Hotel" for the region, with a major telephony and internet presence.

The building has two underground 13.2kV electrical feeds from the utility power company, one of which is from the high-priority medical grid and multiple diverse entry points for fiber optic and other data cabling. Park Tower is home to a large underground Federal Reserve Vault. The building also features video-enhanced 24x7x365 on-site security.
When it was originally built, the tower was the home of The First National Bank of Tampa, later First National Bank of Florida (First Florida Corporation). Park Tower was also the headquarters of the Lykes Brothers Corporation. The tower was purchased by Sterling American Property of New York City for $27.4 million in 2006 and underwent its first restoration including newly renovated elevators, air conditioning, and replacement of much of the electrical distribution system. The building later became the downtown Tampa headquarters of Colonial Bank, now BB&T. BB&T's sign is still featured on the top of the building.

The CCTV Headquarters Building in Beijing, designed by Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren of the architectural firm OMA, opened in 2012. This iconic structure serves as the headquarters for China Central Television (CCTV), the country’s national television broadcaster. It houses a variety of facilities, including television studios, offices, and media spaces, and is a key symbol of China’s growing influence in the media and global communications.
One of the most unique features of the CCTV Building is its bold, continuous loop design, which consists of two interconnected towers that form an innovative "crane-like" structure. This distinctive design eliminates the need for traditional support columns, allowing for open and flexible interior spaces. The building’s unusual shape, with its large, cantilevered sections and angular geometry, has made it an architectural landmark in Beijing, representing both China’s modernity and its ambition on the global stage.
