SLS Lux is a 57-story skyscraper luxury apartment building and hotel in the Brickell district of Greater Downtown Miami, Florida, United States.
The building consists of 450 condo units and 78 hotel-condo units set atop a parking pedestal. SLS Lux is located at South Miami Avenue and Southeast Eighth Street, across from Brickell City Centre, at 801 South Miami Avenue. It is regarded as one of the best apartment buildings in its neighborhood by residents, with an array of opulent features from marble flooring throughout the common areas, two rooftop pools, an on-site spa and gym, private elevators to each residence, top of the line appliances, modern finishes and 24-hour security and valet service.
Announced in 2014 as the third tower in the Brickell Heights development (although it is across South Miami Avenue), site work and ground construction began in 2014, with vertical construction commencing in July 2015, after receiving approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. Designed by Arquitctonica, the building was, at this time, expected to have 450 "residences" and 95 hotel units with the delivery of fall 2017. In September, when the Related Group secured a $166.1 million construction loan for the project, the number of hotel suites had shrunk to only 84; however, at this time additional amenities were announced including a tennis court, three pools, and a spa, with a bar and restaurant operated by SBE Entertainment.
By November 2015, the building had already been more than 95% leased, with only 24 units remaining un-leased. At that time, Related cut the required deposit from 50% to 30%, in an attempt to lease the final units faster.

You might not expect to come upon a castle while visiting Spokane, but that is exactly what you will do if you visit the Spokane County courthouse. Most of us associate such architecture with romantic old castles in Europe, or perhaps something out of the world of Walt Disney or fairy tales. To find such a building in the center of a modern, growing regional hub city such as Spokane is a bit startling.
The courthouse is said to closely resemble two famous 16th century chateaux in the Loire Valley of France, the Chateau de Chambord, built in 1519 and the Chateau d'Azay Le Rideau built in 1516. Many architects through the years have commented on the masterly replica of a 16th century French Renaissance design, its fine lines of style and proportion with regard to the towers and turrets, the sculpture, iron and brickwork which excel in pattern and craftsmanship. Detailed exterior trim such as shell patterns with wreaths and festoons and decorative arches are a few of the outstanding features of its design. The beautiful center tower, now lighted at night, is a masterpiece of detail in itself.

CPKC train 40B, the 'Final Spike' steam tour, is seen approaching Ludlow, MO on former Milwaukee Road trackage on the afternoon of May 11, 2024. The train is easing through a maintenance zone where quite a bit of track work is taking place.
When CP and KCS first announced their intent to merge in 2021, I would not have guessed the revival of CP's dormant steam program would be one of the first tangible results of the union, but here we are, as the 2816 and its entourage journey from Calgary to Mexico City to commemorate the first anniversary of the creation of CPKC.

Just love the way it's taking off on little tippy toes, all I've got are deer pics from Bradgate Park at the moment, I'm like a little lost sheep in the evenings without foxes to go and see.
Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and repeat to yourself, the most comforting words of all; this, too, shall pass.

Working my way through some editing tonight while I upload images for Getty... and I couldn't resist sharing one more image tonight, also of a sweet treat. This time, it's the cake that Katie and I made.
Image made with a Hasselblad 500 C/M.
Sometimes when you least expect it and are not prepared for it the most spectacular events unfold right in front of your eyes. After having a disappointing day of photographing we had called it quits and were gonna grab dinner and head home, untill my friend spotted these Great Horned Owls. This was probably one of the most memorable encounters I have ever had with wildlife. The Male here takes off as he sets off to hunt on a dark Florida night.
Snow Day...
A day off school because it snowed was something that never happened when I was a kid. We were expected to trudge through snow up over our heads, in -40 degree temperatures, wearing nothing but a denim jacket, jeans and running shoes.
"And if you tell that to kids nowadays they just don't believe you!!!!! "
So since I retired I have a lot more free time to enjoy snowy days and all the days in between. While we were out walking on a particularly snowy day, we noticed loads of children in the local school yard playing in the snow... Ironically the school was closed due to it being a "Snow Day" the staff parking lot was empty of cars and the school was locked up. yet there were children from our neighborhood climbing and clambering all over the deep fresh snow in the schoolyard. I may be a bit jealous.
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

As sunriise wasn't as expected I went to Woolley edge for sunset. Hardly a cloud in the sky though and very still. Just right for ballooning
I'm approximately one year into fanning on the CP North Toronto sub and in the 13ish months, I've learned to never be suprised at anything CP does. With rumors flying left right and center about the SD70ACUs being mandated trailing locomotives, it was both suprising and not suprising (becuase CP) that one was going to be the sole power on a Chicago to Toronto autorack train. Fast forward a day, CP 2-240 is in Wolverton with CP 7058 and they decide to lift UP 4101 (Who came into Wolverton on a different train). Also; shocker, they were running light power to Toronto with a lift at Hornby. Unexpectedly (or maybe it should be expected), they lifted 3 tankers in Hornby and continued east, not stopping (aside from getting blocked by GO) until Toronto yard.
When I say expect the unexpected, its in reference to these sub 10 car trains that routinely see on "autorack" trains.
2nd Surprise of the Day in Colour
I love Peking Duck but have never seen how it is made. Our first surprise came in a market where this guy was doing Peking Duck the traditional way (even if in a metal in stead of a clay oven). He kindly allowed me to take photos of the process. The golden ones are cooked, the white ones uncooked. The rest is self-explanatory.
Went Walkies yesterday, looking for one thing unsuccessfully but found many other surprises in this amazing city.
Looks like our resident deer may have more babies again this year. The deer on the other side of the tree is from her first litter and the brother was hit by a car. The two that were born from last year are no longer seen. We don't know what happened to them, it was too early for them to leaver their mother. A bit sad but I suppose that is what happens.
La Ruota Del Delore: the Wheel of Pain.
This vessel is a direct spiritual successor to the famed La Bomba, which struck so valiantly with its host of torpedoes at the Valparaisan fleet during the Azzorre Crisis. A massive magazine ring of 40 torpedoes rotates like a revolver, firing its arsenal in sequence from the lowest point. Enormous rubber rollers inside and below the ring move and aim the weapon, on direction from the torpedoes' dedicated rangefinder. This revolving design allows for more accurate torpedo targeting and for more torpedoes to be launched from a smaller platform. Its disadvantages are its height (throwing off weight distribution,) its tendency to jam and stop rotating during battle, and its high cost. An accountant in the Principale Marine reportedly suffered an aneurysm upon hearing how many vessels the admirals wanted to buy.
Unlike La Bomba, La Ruota is a (somewhat) balanced vessel even after expending its torpedoes. It shares its heavy AA suite and advanced fire control with the Pendenza-class, adding 4 6" guns for anti-surface actions, and carries a hydrophone for better anti-submarine detection. It also shares similar speed and (lack of) armor to its sister ship. Observers expect the Ruota-class esploratori to be deployed alongside the Pendenza, depending on how badly the expected cost overruns the budget.
This photo shows La Ruota Del Dolore in a different oceanic camouflage scheme, omitting the "ghost" patches of light green in favor of a simpler mix of lighter blue tones.
two days before Christmas days I did not expect such a traditional and rather delightful Christmas market, not really overcrowded by tourists...
At the end of the
second week in September a cart came in through Bywater from the direction
of the Brandywine Bridge in broad daylight. An old man was driving it all
alone. He wore a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, and a silver
scarf. He had a long white beard and bushy eyebrows that stuck out beyond
the brim of his hat. Small hobbit-children ran after the cart all through
Hobbiton and right up the hill. It had a cargo of fireworks, as they rightly
guessed. At Bilbo's front door the old man began to unload: there were great
bundles of fireworks of all sorts and shapes, each labelled with a large red
G and an elven rune. That was Gandalf s mark, of course, and the old man was Gandalf the
Wizard, whose fame in the Shire was due mainly to his skill with fires,
smokes, and lights. His real business was far more difficult and dangerous,
but the Shire-folk knew nothing about it.

expectativas, nos hacemos una idea idÃlica de como se van a suceder los

the macromonday group's theme for today, 12/3, is balance. this one is probably my favorite of the ones i did for the theme, but i probably won't post it-- the blown out light is a distraction., even if i liked the sparkly gold bokeh ~grin~
I had been expecting a long-distance Charger on this train, but apparently that did not happen until at least the next day. Just one of the many disappointments lately surrounding Amtrak's newest motive power. In any event, the P42s aren't gonna last forever, so why not record 'em. 146 leads two others on a relatively on-time number 8, the eastbound 'Empire Builder', at Racine Avenue on Chicago's near west side. On this side of the signal bridge anyway, this scene is significantly less photogenic since the demolition of the old ADM mill, but you make do.
My first effort with the Holga 120N toy camera. You never know what to expect with this camera!

expect the unexpected...many wildlife photographers know stories about that. we found this western tiger swallowtail while looking for bears, southern BC
Despite being English, I've never particularly been a fan of the royals but the fact Meghan and Harry are now hanging out in Victoria, BC seems to have people quite excited. :-)

I took this shortly after leaving Professor Cliff Mass' lecture at the UofW on Weather in the Pacific Northwest. This isn't the kind of calm I'd expect during a normal December.
