The Richardson Olmsted Complex is located a the center of a large park-like campus on the north side of Buffalo, New York, adjacent to the campus of Buffalo State College. Constructed in 1870 as a mental hospital, the campus's Medina red sandstone and brick structures were built according to the Kirkbride Plan, among grounds that were landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted. Designed by Henry Hobson Richardson, the building was his largest commission during his storied and significant career, and is an early example of the Richardson Romanesque style, which would later bear the name of its creator. The building was home to administrative facilities in the central tower, which is flanked by five pavilions on each side, which progressively stair-step backwards, for a total of 11 structures in the interconnected complex. During its operation, patients were segregated by sex, with Males being housed in the eastern pavilions, and women in the western pavilions. The building remained in use until the mid-1970s, when patients were transferred to more modern facilities elsewhere on the campus, though the central pavilion continued to be used as office space until 1994. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986. The building has been the site of preservation campaigns since the 1960s due to its significance; However, three brick pavilions on the eastern end of the complex were demolished in the 1970s to allow for room to build newer psychiatric facilities on the grounds. The building went through a period of significant and prolonged deterioration and uncertainty between the 1970s and 2008, with the unsecured facility becoming vandalized, decayed, and unsafe. However, in 2008, in the wake of a successful lawsuit filed by the Preservation Coalition of Erie County, the State of New York was forced to commit $100 million in order to rehabilitate the structure. Between the spring of 2008 and the fall of 2012, the complex was stabilized, and in 2013, the South Lawn was converted from parking lots back into the original, verdant green space it was meant to be. In 2017, the first phase of the building's adaptive reuse and rehabilitation was completed, which transformed the central three pavilions into the Hotel Henry and Conference Center, with the Buffalo Architecture Center also opening in the renovated structure. The plans for the complex currently are to convert the remaining intact but vacant pavilions into additional space for the Hotel Henry Urban Resort Conference Center, which will be spectacular once it completely transforms and revitalizes this amazing structure.
At a commercial complex in bangalore. Didn't have my wide angle lens, so shot 24 images at 30mm, stiched them all in Microsoft ICE (best thing ever, btw)
Not proud of the whole thing at all. There are bunch of compositing errors. Am not bothered to photoshop them. I would rather do the whole thing over. It was fun though. I am in love with photo compositing.
Obviously no EXIF :) 24 x 30mm @ f/2.8

Another from my second flight with a video assisted KAP rig. The first time I flew over this building, I got a couple of frames that were close to this, but not dead-nuts on. With the video screen, I was able to compose this just the way I wanted. This happened during a relatively calm part of the flight. At other times the rig was oscillating wildly, and this would not have been as easy.
I did RAW processing, but also applied a slight horizontal PC tilt to compensate for a not quite directly-down angle (maybe a degree or so off nadir.) The resulting image was then cropped. But no rotation was required.
A look towards the sprawling Portland Company Complex between Fore Street and the waterfront. Occasionally I like to share these less-interesting photos in order to simply document the way things are at the moment. And it sets me up to do an "after" photo from this spot in a few years when it looks different.

My dear friends in Caspian brought their monstrous sound to biggest stage I've had the privilege to watch them play.
I hope I did them justice in whatever small way I could.
The ruins of the 5,500 year old Ġgantija temple complex outside Victoria on the Maltese island of Gozo.
Teotihuacan is one of the most famous and important sites of ancient Mexico, best known for it's enormous Avenue of the Dead and the great pyramids of the Sun and Moon.
Although the site was known in Aztec times as the 'Birthplace of the Gods' it is actually significantly older, with most of the major structures built between 100-250AD and the city, one of the largest ever ancient settlements in the Americas, was believed to have been still inhabited up to the 8th century.
Today the vast scale of the complex, particularly the so called Avenue of the Dead, nearly 3km long and flanked by ancient ruins and terraces, continues to awe visitors. At the north end of the Avenue sits the Pyramid of the Moon, whilst it's much larger counterpart, the Pyramid of the Sun, sits halfway up it's eastern side. At the southern end sits the Ciudadela complex which centres on the smaller pyramid of Quetzelcoatl, earlier and more ruined than the larger pyramids but retaining it's stunning original sculptural decoration on part of it's western face, featuring the iconic feathered serpent heads.
Aside from the great ceremonial structures there are also residential buildings, particularly the palatial complex at the north west corner that retains some vivid fragments of it's original mural decoration.
life is complex... its very hard to live in this part of the world... most of the young peoples are still jobless... half of their life has spent either in chitchat or wasted in nothing..a very few have their permanent jobs, although most of them are not well earned....

The 2022 Kimble Complex Fire was the largest wildfire in Wayne National Forest history. It started out as several smaller wildfires on a day with enhanced fire weather conditions, grew into a single large wildfire, and then blew up in size as fire weather conditions worsened. By the end, it burned 1,338 acres and took dozens of wildland firefighters, multiple fire engines, dozers, and more to contain. The cause of the wildfire remains under investigation.
The Kimble Complex Fire came on the heels of dozens of small and medium size wildfires that occurred throughout southeast Ohio during the fall fire season. Between October 8 and November 22, our wildland firefighters responded to an average of 1.5 wildfires a day.
We rely on you to be fire aware and help prevent wildfires in the first place! Know your state and local fire laws, follow the statewide 6 AM to 6 PM burn bans during the spring and fall fire seasons, never leave fires unattended, and always put fires completely out until they are cool to the touch. Remember, only YOU can help prevent wildfires!

For years now, microbiologist Wayne Lanier and I have hiked from Alviso’s Marina County Park north along the salt pond levees to visit a site we call the Weep (see baynature.org/article/out-at-the-weep/ ). The path parallels an active railroad track that dates back to the South Pacific Coast Railroad in the 1870s. This line stretches from Newark to Alviso and was the first rail line to cross Bay Area marshlands.
On this particular outing, I launched the kite from the levee between Salt Ponds A13 and A15 and then slowly walked back to the Alviso trailhead. Photographs taken along the route provide coverage of the Weep, the railroad grade with its flanking ditches, salt ponds, and New Chicago Marsh. The Alviso flat area, a curious carve out between the salt ponds and the railroad grade, was still full of runoff from our winter rains.
I am taking these documentary photographs under a Special Use Permit from the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge. Kite flying is prohibited over this part of the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge without a Special Use Permit. The area does have many trails open for hiking and is well worth a visit.
These represent the remainder of images we gathered on our recent 5-day trip to west Texas. These wildflowers, critters, and scenes don't really do justice to the wide variety of habitat and photographic subjects we encountered, but it should give you a taste of the bountiful nature of west Texas

Visitors to the Ġgantija temple complex walk on a raised boardwalk and have to stay between the handrails in order to protect the 5,500 year old temple ruins.
One of the highlights on the Xiamen (Fujian Province) tourist map is the sprawling Nan Putuo Buddhist Temple Complex. Built at the foot of the Wulao Peaks, it is named for Mount Putuo near Shanghai, one of the four sacred mountains in Chinese Buddhism, and a pilgrimage site for over a thousand years.
During the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907), the Buddhist monks who lived in the hills here had the area established as sacred Buddhist land and built the first temple dedicated to the Bodhisattva Guanyin. Today, the extensively renovated complex spreads over 25.8 hectares, and houses (among other buildings) the Buddhist Institute of South Fujian.

Rondreis door het bijzondere en mooie Myanmar, voorheen Birma …, november 2013
Vlakbij Monywa, iets ten westen van de stad Mandalay, vind je het grootste liggende Boeddhabeeld ter wereld. De gigantische goudgekleurde boeddha meet van kop tot teen negentig meter. Bezoekers kunnen aan de achterkant naar binnen. Vervolgens komen ze in een ruimte met negenduizend kleine afbeeldingen die het leven laten zien van ‘de verlichte’ en zijn volgelingen.
Achter het liggende beeld is sinds kort ook een staande boeddha gebouwd van 167 meter hoog. Weer daarnaast ligt Bodhi Tataung, een tuin waar achtduizend boeddha’s in rijen staan opgesteld.
A smoke stack from an old mining mill stands on a hilltop above the town of Tuscarora. The Indian Creek Fire prompted the evacuation of this historic mining town's few residents, but the town was spared due to the diligent efforts of a unified fire task force consisting of various federal agencies, local volunteers, ranchers, mining operations and the City of Elko resources.
Cologne Germany - The newly designed, restructured Rheinauhafen waterfront complex is a young and attractive district of Cologne. The 210,000 m² development, which is located right on the Rhine, not far from to the city center, has quickly become established as one of Cologne’s popular attractions. The waterfront district features a mix of modern residential and office buildings interspersed with many cafés, restaurants, and galleries. And visitors with a passion for architecture and culture will also find points of interest in the Rheinauhafen. The centerpiece of the new Cologne promenade is the trio of buildings called the “Kranhäuser” (crane towers), which rise to a height of about 60 meters. The buildings, which are shaped like hoisting cranes, are defining elements of the skyline on the west bank of the Rhine. Also on the west bank of the Rhine is a newly opened four-star superior hotel — the trapezoid-shaped art’otel cologne. On permanent display in this eye-catching building with its colorful windows are dramatic and picturesque collages by the Korean artist SEO, a former advanced student in Georg Baselitz's master classes.
The Häfen und Güterverkehr Köln AG company and the city of Cologne began to redesign the old waterfront area and develop unused lots in 1998. The design for the revitalization was created by the renowned Hamburg-based architecture firm Bothe, Richter, Teherani. Many old structures were extensively renovated to suit their new uses, including the waterfront area’s former granary, called the “Siebengebirge” (seven hills) by local residents because of its seven steeply sloping gables. The mingling of historic landmark buildings and modern architecture is a characteristic feature of the Rheinauhafen.
Anorthosite in the Precambrian of Minnesota, USA.
This is part of a large anorthosite xenolith that is hosted in gabbro of the widespread Duluth Complex, a ~1.1 billion year old suite of igneous rocks in northeastern Minnesota that is associated with volcanism in the Lake Superior segment of the ancient Mid-Continent Rift System.
Anorthosite is a mafic, phaneritic (coarsely-crystalline), intrusive igneous rock dominated by the mineral plagioclase feldspar - (Ca,Na)Al2Si2O8 - calcium sodium aluminosilicate.
The brownish areas are a weathering crust.
Geologic unit & age of host rocks (not seen in this photo): anorthosite series, Duluth Complex, late Mesoproterozoic, 1099 Ma
Age of anorthosite xenolith: unknown, but Precambrian, likely derived from the lower crust
Locality: Keene Creek East outcrop - roadcut along the northern side of Skyline Parkway, Duluth, northeastern Minnesota, USA (46° 45’ 08.52” North, 92° 10’ 29.93” West)
Coming soon!
A new style of Birthday (or other event) card!
I'm going to have two version of this. The one in the picture here is the complex version, I'm also going to have a simple version without having to build the front of the bus like in this photo.
