Seriously, it is.
It may not be the most pleasing to the eye, what without a copper dome and all, but it is the tallest. In the US. And the World. At 450 feet tall and 34 floors, it is the tallest building in Baton Rouge, and the 7th tallest building in Louisiana. New Orleans has 9 of the states top 10 tallest buildings.
I was torn between the b&w vs. color version. My moto is, if there is color, let it be seen!
So much for that.

London runs on transport. Without the myriad of transport services available, as underground, train, bus, and the coming Crossrail, London would grind to a halt. Labour, services, and leisure activities would be confined to smaller areas without an efficient transport system, as moving users through the dense urban areas of London would be impossible. The city would become a collection of villages.
I mostly use only one hood. By the way, the hood comes with instructions on how many to stack depending on your lens.

The following description of the inoculation process at Dorena is excerpted from pages 72 and 73 of the Whitebark Pine Restoration Strategy for the Pacific Northwest Region. 2009–2013 (available here: ecoshare.info/uploads/documents/WPB_Strategy_PNW_093008cl...):
"The Dorena Genetic Resource Center (Dorena), a component of the regional genetics program of Pacific Northwest Region (and a partner with the regional Forest Health Protection group), has established protocols for blister rust resistance testing of whitebark pine. These protocols are based on those developed and successfully used for screening of western white pine (P. monticola) and sugar pine (P. lambertiana) over the past 5 decades (Danchok et al. 2003).
Resistance testing involves inoculation of young (usually 2-year-old) seedlings with spores of C. ribicola and evaluation of seedlings for up to 5 years after inoculation. Inoculation usually takes place in late August or during September (which coincides with time of natural infection in the field). Seedlings are moved into a climate-controlled inoculation chamber. Temperature within the inoculation chamber is maintained at around 16.7° C (62° F) and relative humidity at 100 percent.
Ribes spp. are the alternative host for C. ribicola, and spores from infected Ribes spp. are necessary to infect the pines. Ribes spp. leaves infected with C. ribicola at the telial stage are collected from forests in Oregon and Washington or from the Ribes garden at Dorena. The Ribes leaves are placed on wire frames above the seedlings, telial side down. Spore fall is monitored until the desired (target) inoculum density of basiospores is reached for each box; the Ribes leaves are then removed. After the target inoculum density is reached for the last box, the temperature is raised to 20° C, and the seedlings are left in the inoculation chamber for approximately 48 hours to ensure spore germination and infection of the pine needles.
Following inoculation, the seedlings are transported outside. The seedlings are evaluated over a period of 5 years for the presence of disease symptoms and mortality. The first symptoms to develop are needle lesions, or ‘spots.’ These are typically assessed approximately 9 months and 1 year after inoculation. Presence and number of stem symptoms along with mortality is assessed annually for 5 years after inoculation."

An aerial photograph of a traditional residential area of Scotland's largest city. The buildings are known as tenements and they were generally built from the Victorian period through to the start of the 20th century.
Many of these high-density buildings have been demolished over recent decades, but where they survive, they regularly become desirable areas to live.
This particular area of Dennistoun is known as 'The Drives' and is at the east-end of Glasgow.

I did my best to capture this fountain outside of Victoria's Bay Centre as a long exposure with my 50mm lens and full frame Nikon D600 using an NDX variable neutral density filter. As it was, I had one foot in traffic, and was peeking around to check composition.
I definitely need a wide angle lens.
This is a fill shot from Feb 17, as work has been unseasonably busy. Shot on my Nikon D600, Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D lens for 13 seconds at f/16, ISO 50, NDX filter pushed about 80% maximum. Shot with my Promaster carbon fibre tripod, and one eye on traffic at all times. Saturation adjusted in Lightoom to blue only, with small amounts of aqua and purple.

The municipality has 458 inhabitants and an area of 690 hectares for a population density of 66 inhabitants per square kilometre. It rises on a mountainous area along the coast and is 380 metres above sea-level. The main economic activity is agriculture. Products mostly cultivated are citrus fruit, olives, and wine-grapes. The name of the village derives from Kallidoron, and means "nice present". The first populated nucleus has been a part of Taormina until1632 when it was sold and acquired by the feudal family Reitano. From 1678 to 1760 it has belonged to the noble family Vigos. Later it has been part of the commune of Letojanni-Gallodoro until 1952 when it became an indipendent commune. The most interesting monuments are the parish Church of the Assunta which keeps inside a valuable processional wood standard that is dated back to the XIV century. It presents in the frontal part an image of Madonna col Bambino, a work made by Antonello de Saliba (XV century).
Gallodoro è un comune italiano di 458 abitanti della provincia di Messina in Sicilia.Dista circa 38 chilometri a sud Messina e circa 51 chilometri a nord da Catania.Nel territorio del comune di Gallodoro sorgeva nell'antichità la città di Bocena o Picena, della quale resta una necropoli. In ogni caso, la storia del borgo è stata legata prima a Taormina, e poi a quella del comune di Letojanni, che costituiva la "marina" o borgo dei pescatori di Gallodoro. Nel 1879 la sede comunale fu trasferita a Letojanni, e il comune prese il nome di "Letojanni-Gallodoro". Nel 1952 le due località furono separate, e Gallodoro tornò ad essere un comune autonomo.Il comune conta 458 abitanti e ha una superficie di 690 ettari per una densità abitativa di 66 abitanti per chilometro quadrato. Sorge in una zona litoranea montagnosa, posta a 380 metri sopra il livello del mare. L'attività economica prevalente è l'agricoltura. I prodotti maggiormente coltivati sono l'uva da mosto, gli agrumi e le olive. Il nome del paese deriva dal greco Kallidoron, che significa "bel dono". Il primo nucleo abitato fece parte della giurisdizione di Taormina sino al 1632, anno in cui venne venduto e poi acquistato dalla famiglia feudale dei Reitano. Dal 1678 al 1760 esso appartenne alla nobile famiglia dei Vigos. Successivamente fece parte del comune di Letojanni-Gallodoro fino al 1952, quando divenne comune autonomo.
Tra i monumenti più interessanti da un punto di vista artistico ricordiamo la Chiesa Parrocchiale dell'Assunta che conserva al suo interno un pregevole gonfalone processionale in legno risalente al XIV secolo, che presenta nella parte frontale una raffigurazione della Madonna con il Bambino, opera di Antonello de Saliba (XV secolo).
After being hulled, beans are placed on a conveyer belt that uses gravity to sort them by density: The belt shakes rapidly and aggressively (think twerking, but, like, at a million miles an hour), and the beans sort of shift themselves into their right weight class because the greater mass will pull heavier ones down toward the bottom faster, etc. Basically the same principle as those coin sorter doohickies every kid ever got when they first started receiving an allowance.
This is a photograph of the small waterfall in the hamlet of Arbirlot just a few miles outside Arbroath. Just beside Arbirlot Church there is a small footpath which leads you down to the edge of the River Elliot which flows through Arbirlot to Arbroath and on to the North Sea.
This photograph was taken on a relatively dull and overcast day, and was shot with a 3 stop ND filter on which lengthened the exposure time further. This blurred the water giving it this strange appearance.
Sometimes I'm just in awe of the expanses of quiet, isolated places in this city.
Detroit has the potential to be so much more than it is, or ever was. In some ways that's because of the new found problem of huge tracts of vacant land, and in some ways it's because so much injustice has happened here that there's really no place to go but up.
It's a desolate place that's just supposed to be a "city", whatever that means. But it feels different than most people's idea of what that is. It's quiet and spread out, but hundreds of thousands of people live here. It's the friendliest place I've ever been, yet it has the reputation of a cold-blooded killing machine. Many of Detroit's problems are no longer just the problems of a city, but the extremes of problems our society has failed to deal with.
Detroit is what happens when America does the things it loves to do. Plan for the short term at all times? Check. Put all your eggs in one basket? Check. Cut funding to cities and promote the suburban lifestyle? Check. Attempt to give as little money to the center city as possible, while still using its services? Check. Avoid things like recycling and mass transit because the market doesn't demand it and we don't need them? Check. Complain that it's not really your fault and blame someone else who doesn't look like you? Check.
So now what's left is a place haunted by the remains of a way of life. The only way to move forward is to invent a new way, because the situation here is one that hasn't been seen anywhere else. And when you can think about the future from that point of view, it's exciting. And kind of beautiful.
Hakone, (Hakone-machi) is a town in Ashigarashimo District in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. As of 2010, the town had an estimated population of 13,339 and a density of 144 persons per km². The total area was 92.82 km².
Hakone is located in the mountainous far west of the prefecture, on the eastern side of Hakone Pass. Most of the town is within the borders of the volcanically active Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, centered around Lake Ashi.
Hakone is the location of a noted Shinto shrine, the Hakone Gongen, which is mentioned in Heian period literature. During the Gempei War, Minamoto no Yoritomo prayed at this shrine for victory over his enemies, after his defeat at the Battle of Ishibashiyama, which was also located with the borders of present-day Hakone. As with the rest of Sagami Province, the area came under the control of the late Hojo clan of Odawara during the Sengoku period. After the start of the Edo period, Hakone-juku was a post station on the Tokaido highway connecting Edo with Kyoto. It was also the site of a major barrier and official checkpoint on the route known as the Hakone Checkpoint (Hakone sekisho), which formed the border of the Kanto region. Under the Tokugawa shogunate, all travellers entering and leaving Edo along the Tokaido were stopped here by officials, and their travel permits and baggage was examined.
After the start of the Meiji Restoration, Hakone became a part of the short-lived Ashigara Prefecture before becoming part of Ashigarashimo District in Kanagawa prefecture in August 1876. Hakone attained town status in 1889. After merger with five neighboring towns and villages in September 1956, it reached its present boundaries.
The economy of Hakone is strongly dominated by the tourist industry. Hakone is noted for its onsen hot spring resorts, which attract both Japanese and international visitors due to its proximity to the greater Tokyo metropolis and to Mount Fuji. Sights include the volcanically active Owakudani geysers and Hakone Shrine on the shore of the lake, as well as the Hakone Botanical Garden of Wetlands. In April the cherry blossoms (sakura) and in autumn the Miscanthus sinensis (susuki) are noted sights.
Hakone has a number of art museums, including the Hakone Open-Air Museum.
Major events include the annual Hakone Ekiden,a long distance foot race, held at the New Year, which runs from Tokyo to Hakone and back over two days, partly in commemoration of the Tokaido road.
One famous hotel in Hakone is the historic Fujiya Hotel in Miyanoshita, which was patronized by noted literii, politicians and foreign dignitaries in the Meiji and Taisho and early Showa periods.
