Reverend Ziegler met Frank Lloyd Wright by chance on the boat bound for Europe in 1909. The struck up a conversation and a commission was the result. Since Mr. Wright was going to be traveling in Europe for a while, the plans were done by his colleagues back in Chicago. The design is based on the "Fireproof House for $5000" and definitely looks the part.
This is an example of Wright's "prairie house," utilizing open floor plans

The T-5 (left) or Sveta Pekhotnyij Tanky 1924 is a light infantry tank that was designed for the Tongorian Army. It is armed with a turreted 37mm gun that also has AT capabilities. Being a light tank it also has 20mm maximum armor on the hull while the turret is 25mm all around. However, the powerful 78hp engine provides a 32km/h maximum speed on road, but the off-road capabality of the tank is also great.
The SU-57 (middle) or Samokhodnayin ustanovu model 1924-57, like everything showcased here, is based on the T-5's chassis. Having more internal space, the tank has a dedicated loader now. Armor protection remained the same, however, the casemate, housing the 57mm AT gun (from the PA-23 medium tank) and a .30cal machinegun, has 30mm frontally.
Finally, the PA-5 medium tank (right), a modification of the orginal tank by Proryv Avto. The T-5 is a relatively large tank for a light tank, so it could remain the same size and didn't need to be larger for this project. Being a medium, it has better armor, 34mm on the front, 38mm on the driver's port and 28mm side and rear while the turret is 40mm all around. It houses a bigger, 47mm DP30 L/42 AT gun and .30cal machine gun coupled to it.
This increased weight (11.8 tons) called for an engine upgrade. The rear of the hull formed the engine room, separated from the fighting compartment by a fireproof bulkhead. The new engine is a 97 hp six-cylinder engine which is on the right of the engine compartment. A 200-litre fuel tank on the right, combined with a twenty litres reserve reservoir, gave a range of 150 kilometres or ten hours on a varied terrain.
If you have ay questions regarding these tanks, feel free to ask me.

Worcestershire Beacon, Malvern Hills, on the east side of Great Malvern, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom. Date unknown, around the summer between 1987 to 1996.
About this photograph.
This is a firefighter. In those old days, there weren’t much women joining the fire brigade, or at least during those years I took the photos, there would be very few women starting to join up. So they were often simply called firemen. When more and more women joined up, the item was replaced with gender neutral item of firefighter.
This fireman is seen here in his light blue shirt, with sleeves rolled up, and not wearing his fireproof jacket. Nowadays, safety rules may be bit stricter, and they may be requested to keep their jackets on at all time, but in those days, the rules may be a bit lax. Besides, at that time the photo was taken, it was a very hot summer day, hence removing his jacket.
He is also seen wearing his yellow waterproof and possibility fireproof trousers, with his old fashion yellow fire helmet. Notice the lack of visor, where nowadays you would see on more modern helmets.
Additional: With special thanks to Mark Savage (www.flickr.com/photos/77356945@N06/) for pointing out that the black line on the helmet is like a rank insignia, the single line is the rank for Leading Firefighter.
The rectangle shaped device behind him, hanging from his shoulder, is a two-way handheld radio (or simply informally called a Walkie-talkie. For those of you who are of younger generation and more used to seeing radios being very small, that was how big a radio was in those days (c1980s) before technology improved.
He is holding one of those water guns, spraying water over the grass fire on the slope of the hill.
As I’ve lost my notes on where exactly this happened, I can’t remember much apart from that it happens somewhere to the south of the Worcestershire Beacon, and on the east slope. Behind him is parts of the town of Malvern.
The photograph was taken with a Minolta X-700 35mm SLR camera, and likely to be with a 80-200mm f4.5 zoom lens. I don’t remember which film, but it was most likely to be Kodak which tend to be my first choice. It could have been Afga which is my second choice, I simply buy whichever film depending on availability of stock at the local photographic shop.
The prints were scanned to the computer using Brother A3 multi-function printer/copier/scanner.
About the event.
I used to live in a block of three-floor apartments on the east side of the Worcestershire Beacon, with the front windows facing the hills. At that time, I decided on photography as a career, but haven’t decided on what field of photography I wanted to do. I decided not to do wedding photography, portrait photography, or similar, but was thinking of going into sports, action, photojournalism, or similar. But the problem is that during those days, in the United Kingdom, in 1985, we didn’t have those human rights laws giving us much rights simply because we’re disabled people.
I’m a deaf person with speech impairment. In my last year at school, I told the teacher, the career advisor and my mother that I wanted to get into college to study photography. But they were like saying “No, you can’t be a photographer because you’re deaf.” Nowadays, looking back on it, it’s purely discrimination, but like I said, at that time, there wasn’t much of laws, not until 1995. Despite my efforts to want to get into college to do photography, they managed to help get me a college course in graphic design, with an on-the-job training course at a professional photographer’s.
Sometimes between 1986 (the year I left school and started college) to 1996 (the year I moved out of the family home), I went to my bedroom window, and saw smoke coming from the side of the hills. It was a wildfire, but not like the ones you see in the news, happening in American and Australia, not like a full-blown out of control wildfire. Here, we had just simply grass fire on the hills.
Because I want to try my hand at photojournalism or action photography, I decided to take the chance to go and do some photography for the purpose of gaining experience. So I grabbed my Minolta X-700, and as I had to rush up the side of the hill, it helps if I bring only the 80-200mm zoom and as much rolls of film as I could carry. I hurriedly part-walked, part-jogged up the hill, rather than taking the long zigzag path to get there, I sometimes took a shortcut in a more direct straight line.
At this point of time, health and safety rules were still somewhat lax, and you would find those hillwalkers still around. People walking their dogs, people walking for exercise, and such, all while the firemen were busy doing their work. Nowadays, the police would march you off the hills and out of their way.
I stayed out of their way, and took some photos of them doing their firefighting work, trying to see how I feel about photojournalism, and building up experience. The photos of that event can be seen in the Firefighters on the Hills album here www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/albums/72177720295786071
In 1996, I moved out of my family home which had the view of the hills. The new home I moved into, does not have a direct line of sight to the hills, and in those days, we didn’t have Twitter or anything like this, so I wouldn’t be aware of any grass fire on the hills. That’s why, considering I lost my notes, I can only be sure that this event happens between 1987 to 1996.

When the doors of the Grand Central Market first opened in October 1917, the "Wonder Market," as it was then called, was billed as "the largest and finest public market on the Pacific Coast." It filled the entire ground floor of the Beaux-Arts-style Homer Laughlin Building, the region's first steel-reinforced, fireproof structure..

Oh, when the sun beats down
And burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot
You wish your tired feet were fireproof
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)
In the park you hear
The happy sound of the carousel
You can almost taste the hot dogs
French fries they sell
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah

During my walkabout in Road Town on Tortola of the British Virgin Islands, I found the "Fireproof".
The building was built around 1750-57. Because it was one of the buildings to survive the 1853 Road Town fire, it was called the "Fireproof".
Desolation row, I don't know how much longer I could've existed that way. Moving in place, Missing pieces, missing my dad.

The King Edward Hotel was designed by Chicago architect Henry Ives Cobb and Toronto architect E.J. Lennox for developer George Gooderham's Toronto Hotel Company, and was granted its name by namesake King Edward VII.The structure opened in 1903 with 400 rooms and 300 baths, and it claimed to be entirely fireproof.
In 1922, an 18-storey tower with 530 additional rooms was added to the east of the original eight-storey structure. On the two top floors of the tower is the Crystal Ballroom, that until the late 1950s was the most fashionable in the city. The room was closed in the late 1950s due to stricter fire codes and was not restored during the 1979-81 renovation.[4] When the Omni Hotel chain invested in the hotel in 2013, restoring the ballroom was one of its announced goals. The ballroom re-opened in April 2017 after a closure of 38 years
Ocean Drive is known mostly for its Art Deco hotels and restaurants/bars, many of which have been prominently featured in numerous movies and media. Among the most popular is the 1935 Colony Hotel, known as the most photographed art deco hotel. Renovated as a boutique hotel, it has been featured in cameos in scores of movies and TV shows, including the series, Dexter.
The Colony Hotel in Miami Beach, located at 736 Ocean Drive, is a historic and iconic example of the city's Art Deco architecture, built in 1935 and designed by renowned architect Henry Hohauser.
Architectural and Design Significance
Art Deco Style: The hotel is considered one of the first "streamlined" buildings on Ocean Drive and a quintessential example of the tropical Art Deco style that revitalized Miami Beach after the 1926 hurricane.
Architectural Features: The three-story building features a symmetrical facade, bold geometric elements like the inverted "T" bearing the hotel's name, horizontal "eyebrow" overhangs above the windows for shade, and an iconic blue neon sign that illuminates the street at night.
Modern Amenities: When it opened, it was designed to be modern, offering then-forward-thinking amenities such as a private bathroom, telephone, and radio in every room, which was unusual for middle-class tourist hotels at the time.
Original Design: The architectural plans from 1935 included a fireproof basement with recreation areas and changing facilities, unusual for Miami Beach at the time.
Current Use: Today, guests mention dining at Montana's in the basement, describing it as a cool spot for brunch with an outdoor vibe.
So, while it's an older feature, the basement is still a part of the hotel's offerings.

As I understand it, all of these trees are connected below the ground, so I am using the singular Aspen instead of plural Aspens.
Each grove or stand is a single genetic clone. The trunks are sprouts of the extremely long-lived fireproof root system (the Pando grove in Utah is believed to be 80,000 years old). Clones do flower and fluffy seeds blow away, but are viable for only a short time - perfect for taking advantage of recent burns or landslides.
Conifers are their competition. The Pine Bark Beetle has shifted the balance - Aspen is on the march on slopes of dead firs and pines.
