A number of infrastructure improvements were completed at WVDP in 2014, including erosion repairs to the project's lake system. The Lake 1 spillway, which sustained erosion damage after extreme rainfall events, is pictured prior to repair (3), while repairs were in progress (4), and at project completion (5).
Goodison Park has been home to Premier League club Everton since its completion in 1892. It has a total capacity of 40,157 all-seated and comprises four separate stands: the Goodison Road Stand, Gwladys Street Stand, Bullens Road Stand, and the Park End Stand. Goodison has hosted more top-flight games than any other stadium in England as Everton have remained in the top tier of English football since 1954. The club has only been outside the top division for four seasons, having been relegated in 1930 and 1951.
Goodison Park is unique in the sense that a church, St Luke's, protrudes into the site between the Goodison Road Stand and the Gwladys Street Stand only yards from the corner flag. Everton do not play early kick-offs on Sundays in order to permit Sunday services at the church.
In 1940, during the Second World War, the Gwladys Street Stand suffered bomb damage. The bomb had landed directly in Gwladys Street and caused serious injury to nearby residents. The bomb splinter damage to the bricks on the stand is still noticeable. The cost of repair was £5,000 and was paid for by the War Damage Commission.
In 2001 a bronze statue of club legend William Ralph "Dixie" Dean was unveiled. He is best known for his exploits during the 1927–28 season, which saw him score a record 60 league goals. He also scored 18 goals in 16 appearances for England.

On Dec. 5, 2022, the USACE Charleston District gathered with stakeholders to celebrate the completion of the Charleston Harbor Post 45 Deepening Project. With the final pull of a lever and radio call to the dredge, officials marked the end of this decade-long project. The Post 45 project deepened Charleston Harbor to a depth of 52 feet, allowing the largest container ships in the world to use the port at any time and any tide. In attendance at the ceremony was the Charleston District Leadership team, Post 45 Project Delivery Team, South Atlantic Division Commander Brigadier General Daniel Hibner, CEO of the SC Ports Authority Barbara Melvin, Congresswomen Nancy Mace, US Senator Tim Scott, US Senator Lindsey Graham, and SC Governor Henry McMaster.
A business building on the capitol square in Madison. I liked this view for the effect that the relfection completes the building. I also kept the perspective because of the diagonal dynamics.

Light Lines: The Architectural Photographs of Hélène Binet
(October 2021 — January 2022)
Over the past 30 years, Hélène Binet has travelled the world to photograph historic and contemporary buildings, as well as projects in the making. Considered “the architect’s photographer” by many, Binet has worked closely with Zaha Hadid RA, Daniel Libeskind Hon RA and Peter Zumthor Hon RA among others, who have turned to her to interpret their work.
In this intimate exhibition of around 90 photographs, spanning projects from across Binet’s career, we foreground her ability to capture the essential elements of architecture. A number of the works are handprinted in black and white at her North London studio, using an analogue camera and film. Binet’s powerful, thought-provoking images reveal the light, space and form that unites architecture, be it 1970s brutalism or an 18th-century City church.
A key highlight will be a section focused primarily on Binet’s work with Zaha Hadid RA, with whom she built a close professional relationship and captured almost all of the late architect’s projects. Other buildings featured include the Thermal Baths at Vals by Peter Zumthor Hon RA, Le Corbusier’s La Tourette monastery in France and the Jantar Mantar Observatory in India. Binet’s enquiring, contemplative approach to photography extends into her recent work, which includes a set of Five Churches in Cologne by Gottfried Böhm, commissioned to celebrate the architect’s centenary, and an iconic yet rarely-seen private house, Can Lis, by Jørn Utzon.

The Woolworth Building, one of New York's best known tall buildings, is among the most famous skyscrapers in the United States. The tallest building in the world on its completion in 1913, Cass Gilberts graceful. Gothic-style, terra-cotta clad, sixty-story tower became the prototype for the tall romantic skyscraper that permanently transformed the skyline of New York and become the most potent image of twentieth- century urban America.
Built as the headquarters of F. W. Woolworth' s "five-and-ten" empire, the Woolworth Building became a symbol not just of Woolworth's personal success, but also of the new twentieth-century phenomenon of mass commerce. At its grand opening, during which President Wilson in Washington pushed a button to signal the lighting of the structure in New York, the Rev. S. Parkes Cadman christened the Woolworth Building the "Cathedral of Commerce. " The Woolworth Building stands as a watershed in the history of the American skyscraper. It is both the culmination of the early development of the tall office building that began before 1880. and the model -- in terms of height, profile, corporate symbolism. and romantic presence -- for the skyscrapers of the great building boom of the post-World War I era that culminated in the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings. Although long since stripped of its "world ' s tallest" title, the Woolworth Building remains one of the great symbols of twentieth-century America, and one of New York's and the country's outstanding landmarks.
The \oloolworth Building is a 60-story skyscraper, rising 792 feet above street level. It occupies the entire blockfront along the western side of Broadway between Park Place and Barclay Street. The 30-story tower rises above a 30-story base. The base presents three unbroken elevations, on Barclay Street, Broadway, and Park Place, and divides into two wings on its western face. The tower meets the lot line on Broadway, but is narrower than and does not extend as far west as the base beneath it. The tower has two setbacks, creating three sections of progressively smaller dimensions, and culminates in a pyramidal roof and four tourelles.
The elevations of the base and tower are divided into continuous vertical bays of windows and spandrels. In the tower and the portion of the base directly beneath it, there are three bays comprising respectively two, three and two tiers of windows. The bays in the base, north and south of the tower, on Broadway comprise three tiers of windows; the base elevations on Barclay Street and Park Place west of the tower are divided into six two-window-wide bays, the bay furthest to the west being slightly narrower than the rest. This is the basic organizational pattern for the entire exterior.
The first four stories are set apart from the rest of the building base in design and material. Unlike the upper stories, they are faced in Redford limestone above a seven-foot water-table in polished Rockport (Me.) granite,62 The three facades of the base are divided into three-story entrance and window bays, with a one-story attic level above. The width of these bays matches that of the window and spandrel bays in the base and tower above. Only the fourth story of the base of the western elevation is visible; it is plain.
The first four stories of the Broadway elevation focus on the three-story Tudor-arched entrance portal which is flanked on either side by two bays, one narrower and one wider and each divided into a storefront and two bands of windows.
The entrance arch and flanking narrow bays are grouped into a triumphal arch designed by the elaborately carved stone balcony and related ornament projecting out over them. The motifs of the carving are Gothic in inspiration. The balcony includes narrow panels with shields separating wide panels of Gothic tracery over the entrance and wide panels with stylized flowers over the flanking bays; the center panel supports a large eagle holding a shield. From either side of the entrance arch descends an elaborately carved niche with Gothic tracery and at its base a carved coiled serpent. Similar deep relief Gothic tracery with fanciful grotesques link the balcony with the arches of the entrance and flanking bays.
The entrance is through a Tudor-arched portal set within a shallow depressed arch. The depressed arch is outlined by a course of trefoil tracery; within each of the two spandrels between the depressed and the Tudor arch is a carved reclining figure in high relief. The portal arch is a complex form, with a wide intrados flanked on either side, at a 450 angle, by archivolts. The intrados is adorned with Gothic tracery. The archivolt facing the street is comprised of a series of small connected niches; the bottom niche at either side frames a carved treetrunk, the niche at the apex frames an owl with spread wings, and each of the twenty remaining niches frames a grotesque allegorical figure. The inner archivolt is similarly comprised of niches, with tree-trunks at the base and an owl at the apex, but with abstract foliage in the intervening niches. An identical archivolt frames the facing lobby entrance. The entrance itself consists of a large Tudor-arched window above a revolving door with flanking side doors. The revolving door is new, but retains its original configuration. Between the window and the archivolt is a flat band of strapwork and ornamental marble squares. The window frame, and the wide bandcourse separating the window from the doorway below, consists of highly ornamental Gothic tracery cast in bronze. The glass of the window is divided into three large vertical bays, each subdivided into nine panels of twenty-one panes each; this is its original configuration.
Both the narrow and the wide bays flanking the entrance on Broadway consist of a depressed-arch masonry opening with two stories of window bands above a storefront. The window bands on each story of the inner, narrow, bays contain three single-pane windows, while those in the outer bays contain five single-pane windows. Each depressed-arch masonry opening is adorned with an elaborate carved wreath surround, whose forms include swags and bunches of grapes. The upper and lower window bands are separated by a wide bronze band of Gothic tracery; the mullions separating each single-pane window from its neighbor has superimposed over it a slender bronze rod. This is their original configuration. The horizontal bronze bands at either end of the Broadway elevation are now obscured by a modern sign. The storefronts in each bay are separated from the windows above by a broad bronze panel adorned with trefoil tracery. All the storefronts have been replaced.
Six angled piers are carried down into the base; two end in the carved niches flanking the entrance, while four others end in corbels carved as allegorical human faces. The faces apparently represent, from south to north, the four continents of Africa, America, Europe, and Asia (similar to the four allegorical statues of the continents adoring Gilbert's earlier Custom House at Bowling Green).

Rescatando fotos del pasado y dándoles algo de vida (si, lo se, es un vicio que no se puede dejar ni en fin de año).
A pesar de lo triste, tormentoso, lluvioso y frío que fue aquel día y tener que ir a hacer fotos casi por obligación se pudo sacar alguna cosilla como esta que inspira más bien todo lo contrario: tranquilidad, silencio y reflexión. Aunque no fue nada de eso.
Sin firma ni nada para no ensuciarla.

Upon completion of a Quick Impact Project, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan and partners hand over a solar-powered water pump to the community of Gormoyok village in Rejaf Payam. The project was requested by the community, implemented by Islamic Relief Worldwide, and sub-contracted to Relief Line with funding from UNMISS. The water pump station is able to draw 40,000 liters of water per day, during both dry and rainy seasons, and will supplement the hand pump well recently installed nearby. The community requested aid due to the fact that water trucks in town have largely been diverted to the Protection of Civilians site nearby, making it difficult to obtain clean water for drinking and cooking.
