This is the entry to the courtyard of one of the most impressive and huge buildings of London. This is the palace built by the great architect Alfred Waterhouse for the Prudential Assurance Company (1879-1901). Today the building serves many lawyers offices and is known as Holborn Bars.
If you are sick of the many steel and glass buildings which cover London more and more - this is definitely a place to visit.
The Roadmaster is an automobile that was built by Buick from 1936 to 1958, and again from 1991 to 1996. Roadmasters produced between 1936 and 1958 were built on Buick's longest non-limousine wheelbase and shared their basic structure with entry-level Cadillac and, after 1940, senior Oldsmobiles. Between 1946 and 1957 the Roadmaster served as Buick's flagship.
1940 - 1941
In 1940 the Series 80 was renamed Limited. The Roadmaster name was transferred to the new Series 70, which was introduced at the same time as a brand new Series 50 Super. The Roadmaster featured a cutting-edge "torpedo" C-body. The new C-body that the 1940 Buick Roadmaster shared with the Super, the Cadillac Series 62, the Oldsmobile Series 90, and the Pontiac Torpedo featured shoulder and hip room that was over 5" wider, the elimination of running boards and exterior styling that was streamlined and 2-3" lower. When combined with a column mounted shift lever the cars offered true six passenger comfort. These changes had clearly been influenced by the Cadillac Sixty Special.
The 1940 Roadmaster had a shorter wheelbase, was lighter, and was less expensive than the previous year’s model. The formal and fastback sedans were gone, but for the first time a 2-door coupe was available, which sold a respectable 3,991 units. Also new for this year, the coach-building firm of Brunn was asked to design several custom-bodied Buicks for the Series 70, 80 and 90. Only one Roadmaster example is known to have actually been produced in 1940, an open-front town car not surprisingly called the Townmaster. Overall sales more than tripled to 18,345.
The styling changes for 1941 were modest, but the changes under the hood were major. The compression ratio was raised from 6.6:1 to 7.0:1, the "turbulator" pistons were redesigned, smaller spark plugs were substituted for the previous type and “Compound Carburetion” was introduced. Compound Carburetion was the forerunner of the modern four-barrel carburetor, and consisted of twin two-barrel carburetors. One unit operated all of the time, while the other operated only under hard acceleration. The new engine delivered 165 horsepower. With five more horsepower than a senior Packard, 15 more than any Cadillac, and 25 more than the largest Chryslers, it was the most powerful engine available that year on an American car.
A new bodystyle for this year was a 2-door convertible, which sold 1,845 units. There was also one Brunn designed convertible produced, but priced at $3,500 actual orders for the vehicle failed to appear. Overall sales remained respectable at 15,372.

I also thought this picture turned out nicely, if only for the way the sunlight hits that row of carts. I've gotta say, that big picture window comprising the front entryway is an awesome feature! Even though the newer stores have a grandoise façade as well, they don't quite compare to the storefronts of this era. Natural light is just so cool in stores. I don't know why retailers don't incorporate it more often.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
The Chief and the Arbiter gun it for Voi. Something's going down in that lakebed, and their not going to miss it. "Tsavo Highway" Halo 3.
This is my entry into the "small" category of the contest going on right now in the Lego Halo group. The base upon which the diorama (or vignette) sits meets the requirement of 16 X 16 studs, making it just small enough for the small category.

We entered the field not knowing what to expect. I saw multiple rebels, so I picked off the alien one. The guy behind him hid on the side of the building. Axel and Tof got on top of the building and Filer came with me. I dropped the suited one and Tof dropped down when Filer got blasted by a rebel hiding in the building.

This is my entry for the June competition for "Foyer – that is the entry area to a property"
Hi, I am Dave Koch from Salt Lake City, Utah. Website: photoslc.com and you can e-mails me at images - at - photoslc.com.
This was a fun house- a HECK of a lot of work, but a great learning experience. A ton of mixed lighting made it a real challenge. But each room was more interesting than the next, so it was a lot of fun, too.
I am shooting Flamient now... but this was shot before I started doing that, so there are some things I do not like about it, and things I would do different. This is a single shot with flash and natural combined. Two flashes, one to my right filling in the downstairs, one to my left the upstairs. The right flash is probably using modifiers and probably filters (Half CTO), the left bare bulb because of the throw distance. There probably was another flash behind the stairs, I am not sure.

This is the entry walk we had done two years ago - stamped concrete to resemble stone. We're quite pleased with the result.
This is the new added curved "wing" that comes up from the driveway, and meets the site of the previous walk, also newly done.

Originally an early 19th Century house, later used as shops and an office, in brick on a chamfered plinth, with dressings in calciferous sandstone, quoins, and a Welsh slate roof. There are two storeys and four bays. On the front is an engaged Roman Doric porch that has an entablature with a paterae frieze and cornice. In the ground floor are shop bow windows, and in the upper floor the windows are sashes. At the rear is an extension with a bowed bay window.
The proportions here are humbling. Built on the foundation of two earlier Christian churches, Haghia Sophia was inaugurated by Emperor Justinian in 537 AD. Istanbul, Turkey
