A detached house at the end of a road where all the others are semi-detached. It has a bit of land too, so I'd imagine that this will be demolished and several houses will rise from the site.

Over fertilized plants may be beautiful but are otherwise useless, like people whose energies are devoted so completely to their appearance that there is no other development.

Sometimes I wonder how fast Saigon has developed. That feeling is when standing in a small 200-year-old communal house in the middle of the bustling urban area of the city.

It's that time of the year again. Hiawatha #336 arrives Chicago behind the class Amtrak B32-8WH which is subbing for a Charger that shit out a few days prior. The searchlight installations at the east end of Morgan Street were installed in the early 1980s.
Real estate development has exploded in the West Loop over the past decade. The Fulton Labs on the right were completed last year, and 345 N. Morgan on the left was completed a few months ago (still under construction when this picture was taken). The latter was built by Sterling Bay which is also overseeing the redevelopment of the former ADM flour mill. What you see here is only a fraction of what's to come to the West Loop in the next few years.
The Niagara Escarpment is one of the world's natural wonders - a masterpiece of living art that has been recognized as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve because the residents of this region are working to balance conservation and preservation with surrounding development.

The first image that came to mind when I thought of this theme,was a big camera creating images that could come to life, luckily I still had my cardboard polaroid from last year which worked out perfectly!
I just want to give you all a huge thank you for helping me out with the Talenthouse Contest, I'm not sure on the final results but I was blown away by your support and kindness and I hope that one day I can repay all the good karma that directed my way :)
...as in I'm pretty sure being upside down is good for their brain development. Don't quote me on that though. Unbelievably this is my fifth explore in 5 days!!!!!

Tucked into the mountains of Iwate Prefecture near the under visited, stunning Sanriku Coast in eastern Japan is the Iwate Development Railway.
Established in 1939, the railway operated passenger and limestone transport from its mine in Iwate Ishibashi, to the cement plant at the port city of Ofunato for a total of 11km in length. The line suffered severe damage during the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami. In fact, photos of debris covering the top of this bridge can be found online. The railway was brought back just 8 months after the quake and has been going strong since.
Two trains, pulled by DD56 Centercabs, shuttle 18 car limestone trains back and forth from the mine to the cement plant around 12-18 times a day. Here a midday empty train crosses over the Sakari River bridge bound for the mine for another load of rocks.

Feu d’artifice atmosphérique

Samedi soir (21/01/2023), je me suis rendu au Château de Losse (Dordogne) pour prendre en photo l’arche de la Voie lactée. Un phénomène exceptionnel s’est produit ce soir-là… un airglow extraordinaire…
Le ciel semble être couvert de "nuages multicolores"... Il ne s'agit pas de couleurs parasites ou de traitements spéciaux. Il s'agit d'un phénomène naturel rare causé par une réaction chimique dans la haute atmosphère, où les rayons du soleil excitent des molécules qui émettent alors une très faible lumière (chimiluminescence)…
Ces "nuages" sont situés entre 100 et 300 km d'altitude, dans la thermosphère... (pour rappel, la station spatiale internationale est située à une altitude de 400 km.). La couleur du phénomène change en fonction de l'altitude où se produit la réaction chimique. L'airglow peut prendre des formes étranges, comme ici sous forme de "vagues". Ces ondulations sont dues aux différentes couches de pression atmosphérique qui varient en fonction de l'altitude (l'air se raréfiant). Ces nuages semblent émerger du pôle Nord (extrémité droite) et du pôle Sud (extrémité gauche).
Depuis plusieurs années, ce phénomène est de plus en plus observé... Pour quelles raisons ? Changement de l'activité solaire ? À cause du changement climatique ? On ne sait pas vraiment... Ce que nous savons, c'est que le développement des appareils photo joue un rôle majeur. Les capteurs deviennent plus sensibles, et capables de capturer ces lumières.
Le Airglow peut être beau et très photogénique, mais il peut nuire aux observations scientifiques... Par exemple, il limite les performances des télescopes terrestres, d'où la nécessité d'envoyer des télescopes au-delà de l'atmosphère (comme Hubble et James Webb par exemple).
Le airglow peut être observé à l’œil nu. C’était le cas ce soir-là, j’ai cru que le ciel se couvrait de nuages (ordinaires) alors qu’il s’agissait du Airglow. En revanche, les couleurs ne sont pas visibles par l’œil humain, qui est bien moins sensible qu’un capteur d’appareil photo. Il faut néanmoins un ciel de très bonne qualité pour avoir la chance de l’observer.
L’arche de la Voie lactée est ici, visible dans sa totalité, grâce à un panorama de 180°. À gauche : Sirius et la constellation d’Orion. Au centre : Mars, les Pléiades et la nébuleuse Californie. À droite : la constellation de Cassiopée, le double amas de Persée et la galaxie d’Andromède
Pour réaliser cette image, j’ai réalisé un grand panorama de 40 images, cumulant presque une heure d’exposition.

Saturday evening (21/01/2023), I went to the Château de Losse (Dordogne) to take a picture of the Milky Way arch. An exceptional phenomenon occurred that evening... an extraordinary airglow...
The sky seems to be covered with "multicoloured clouds"... It is not a question of parasitic colours or special treatments. It is a rare natural phenomenon caused by a chemical reaction in the upper atmosphere, where the sun's rays excite molecules which then emit a very weak light (chemiluminescence)...
These "clouds" are located between 100 and 300 km in altitude, in the thermosphere... (as a reminder, the international space station is located at an altitude of 400 km). The colour of the phenomenon changes according to the altitude where the chemical reaction takes place. The airglow can take on strange shapes, as seen here in the form of "waves". These undulations are due to the different layers of atmospheric pressure which vary according to the altitude (the air becoming rarefied). These clouds seem to emerge from the North Pole (right end) and the South Pole (left end).
For several years now, this phenomenon has been observed more and more... What are the reasons for this? Change in solar activity? Because of climate change? We don't really know... What we do know is that the development of cameras plays a major role. Sensors are becoming more sensitive, and able to capture these lights.
Airglow can be beautiful and very photogenic, but it can be detrimental to scientific observations... For example, it limits the performance of ground-based telescopes, hence the need to send telescopes beyond the atmosphere (like Hubble and James Webb for example).
Airglow can be observed with the naked eye. This was the case that evening, I thought the sky was covered with (ordinary) clouds when in fact it was airglow. However, the colours are not visible to the human eye, which is far less sensitive than a camera sensor. Nevertheless, you need a very good sky to be able to observe it.
The entire arch of the Milky Way is visible here, thanks to a 180° panorama. On the left: Sirius and the constellation Orion. In the centre: Mars, the Pleiades and the California Nebula. Right: the constellation of Cassiopeia, the double cluster of Perseus and the Andromeda galaxy
To make this image, I took a large panorama of 40 images, cumulating almost one hour of exposure.

I really do not enjoy the process of taking sunset photos, having to be in the perfect place, at the perfect time is something I have difficulty with - and my lens being incompatible with (sensibly priced) filters doesn't exactly help either, but all in all despite the bitching, I'm pretty happy with how this one came out.

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.
