At MBU's new 47,000 square foot Carl and Deloris Petty Sports and Recreation Complex. October, 2011.
The complex was comprised of two fires - the Saddle and Stud Fires - which merged on August 22, 2011 into one fire that burned more than 32,200 acres on the Salmon Challis (16,649 acres) and the Bitterroot (15,588 acres) National Forests in Idaho and Montana. Portions of the fire were within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. To see more fire photos visit www.inciweb.org/incident/2496
Derived from "Strange Fruit", which evolves in surprising ways! The green tendrils have turned into "bridge" connecting the previously separate seed pod structures.

Pancha Rathas (also known as Pandava Rathas) is a monument complex at Mahabalipuram, on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal, in the Kancheepuram district of the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Pancha Rathas is an example of monolithic Indian rock-cut architecture. Dating from the late 7th century, it is attributed to the reign of King Mahendravarman I and his son Narasimhavarman I (630–680 AD; also called Mamalla, or "great warrior") of the Pallava Kingdom. An innovation of Narasimhavarman, the structures are without any precedent in Indian architecture. The complex is under the auspices of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site inscribed by UNESCO as Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram.
Each of the five monuments in the Pancha Rathas complex resembles a chariot (ratha), and each is carved over a single, long stone or monolith, of granite which slopes in north-south direction with a slight incline. Though sometimes mistakenly referred to as temples, the structures were never consecrated because they were never completed following the death of Narasimhavarman I. The structures are named after the Pancha Pandavas and their common wife Draupadi, of epic Mahabharata fame. In order of their size, they include the Dharmaraja Ratha, Bhima Ratha, Arjuna Ratha, Nakula Sahadeva Ratha, and Draupadi Ratha.
ETYMOLOGY
The monoliths are named after the Pandavas – Arjuna, Bhima, Yudhishthira ("Dharmaraja"), Nakula and Sahadeva – and Draupadi. These names are considered to be a misrepresentation as the structures have no link to the iconic characters of the Mahabharata epic. They have no religious significance either, as they remained unfinished and unconsecrated; the uncut rock parts at the base and top of the rathas are still visible. The ASI confirmed the unfinished nature of the structures and suggested that they instead be referred to as vimanas. However, the Pandava names have become permanent.
HISTORY
According to a plaque displayed at the site by the ASI, the Pallava dynasty had planned the structures as models of chariots in rock based on prototypes of ancient rathas built in wood. The Pancha Rathas were carved during the reign of King Mahendravarman I and his son Narasimhavarman I. Work on these five rathas was discontinued following the death of Narasimha Varman in 668 AD. The purpose of their construction is not known as the structures were not completed. Part of the collection within the Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram, they were classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.
GEOGRAPHY
The site is located at Mahabalipuram (previously known as Mammallapuram), on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal, in Kancheepuram district. It is approximately 56 km south of Chennai (previously known as Madras), the capital city, while Chengalpattu is about 32 km distant. The structures are part of the nine monolithic rock cut structures seen here.
ARCHITECTURE
LAYOUT
Each of the five rathas is a monolith, carved whole from a rock outcropping of pink granite. They are carved over a common mounted plinth which is north-south oriented with a slight slope. Each has a different layout, such as square, rectangular, or apsidal plans. The largest measures 13×11 m, and the tallest is 12 m high.
REPRESENTATIONS
The Pancha rathas represent the diversity of Dravidian architecture of the time and it is likely that their original design traces back to wood constructions of temple chariots and were scale models or templates for much bigger temples built subsequently in Tamil Nadu. Most of the rathas are stated to be modelled on the Buddhist Viharas and Chaityas.
DESIGN
The structural design and elevation are with towers or domes with single (ekathala) to triple (trithala) towers, which present a unique exhibition of South Indian Dravidian architecture. The chiseling done by the stone sculptors are occasional along joints between the stones. The walls are arranged and sequentially partitioned. The projections and recesses in these walls give the appearance of a set of shallow pilasters. The niches created in the walls are of rectangular shape and have carved sculptures of gods, demi-gods and the kings. The skirting around the images are of wild aquatic animals with “foliated tails and open jaws.” The wall pilasters have curved brackets, and columns on the porch provide support to an overhanging eave; arch windows occasionally carved with images are located above them. The mouldings culminate in parapets. The carvings above the eave overhangs are decorated roof forms in miniature size, which are seen in rows all round each of the structure.
PRESERVATION
The rathas have been preserved well on account of the sturdiness of their material, granite, and in spite of constant salty winds from the Bay of Bengal and catastrophic tsunamis in 13th century and in 2004.
NOTABLE LANDMARKS
The architectural elegance of the Dharmaraja Ratha is its pyramidal structure which rises in three steps. It is built with a square layout. Its composition has been accentuated with carvings of Hindu gods Harihara, Brahma, Skanda, Ardhanarishvara and King Narasimhavarman I. One of the distinctive carvings seen on the eastern face of the rahta is of Indra (a demi-god of rain and thunderstorms), seated on his mount Airavata (meaning: "a White Elephant"). There is also an independent monolithic stone sculpture of Nandi, adjoining this ratha in the open space. The next in order is the Arjuna Ratha, which is well decorated with an elegant façade and is akin to the Dharmaraja Ratha. Next in line is the Bhima Ratha built to a rectangular plan and with lion mounted columned (four columns) galleries on both long sides. The Nakula Sahadeva Ratha is the next in line. It is built to a simple plan with no embellishing carvings in its apses. A stone monolithic sculpture of an elephant is fixed in the open space, next to this ratha. The Draupadi Ratha, which is the last in the line, is a square structure, which resembles a village hut with thatch roof. The fresco inside this shrine is of mother goddess Durga.

I read somewhere that this old complex of mills was called Abby Mills. This old complex is unfortunately slated for eventual demolition, and already bears the marks on the sides (X in square). The front section of the building suffered fire some time back.

Apartment complexes often do not allow pets, or impose heavy restrictions regarding them due to the difficulty of providing and maintaining pet relief areas and areas for play. In order to address this issue Jefferson Chandler Apartment Complex in Chandler, Arizona turned to ForeverLawn East Valley and designated a 1800 square foot area specifically for pet usage. ForeverLawn surfaced the area with K9Grass Classic, designed specifically for dogs, and gave the pet-owners and apartment landlords peace of mind, while providing the pups with a perfect place to play.
KAP at the Quincy Smelter in Ripley, MI (near Hancock) on the Portage Waterway. The smelter complex is unique in the country and, perhaps, the world in the number and types of 19th and early 20th century buildings and landscape features that survive. The smelter operated for decades, processing the copper ore mined throughout the area from deep underground. It eventually closed in 1971 and is now being rehabilitated as a part of the nearby Keweenaw National Historic Park.

Two things about this image:
1. The dining hall is all that remains of the dormitory complex I occupied with other fellow students at ISU in the late 60's. The two towers that flanked this structure were demolished recently -- so much blue sky in the view now.
2. As with the Wallace Hall shot, my lens tilt was locked in the off position and was apparently nudged off center -- hence the soft focus on the left and right.
