TIKAL TEMPLE V (projecting above the forest canopy) and the TIKAL CENTRAL ACROPOLIS (in the center and foreground across the entire photo) on a gloomy, overcast day in January 1988 in the Tikal Mayan Ruins at the wonderful Tikal National Park in the Departamento de Petén of northeastern Guatemala.
This is the view looking south from the top of Tikal Temple I at the top of the stairway and just outside the temple portal or doorway. Tikal Temple 1 is perhaps the best known of the great Mayan temples at Tikal. Tikal Temple 1 is also known as the Temple of the Great Jaguar or Templo del Gran Jaguar. Temple 1 is located at the east end of the Tikal Great Plaza while the Central Acropolis is on the southern boundary of the Great Plaza. There is a bit of scaffolding against Temple 1; some work was being done on the temple at the time.
The most distant feature of the Tikal Central Acropolis is Tikal Structure 5D-65, located on the south side of Tikal Court 2. Two doorways of Structure 5D-65 are visible in this photo. Structure 5D-65 is the Palace of Yax Nuun Ayiin II (or Yax-Ain II). Yax Nuun Ayiin II was the 29th Ruler of Tikal. His accession was in 768 and he lived until at least 794. Yax Nuun Ayiin II's Palace is also known as Maler's Palace. Teobert Maler was an archeologist who stayed in Tikal for 3 months during two visits in 1895 and 1904. Maler used this Mayan palace as a lodging or campsite during his work. The Maler Causeway is also named after him.
Yax Nuun Ayiin II is also known as Tikal Ruler C and Chitam.
In 1988, restoration had not begun on Temple V and at that time, Temple 5 was covered with the foliage of many trees and other vegetation of the lowland tropical forest (selva tropical).
Tikal Temple 1 is also known as the Temple of the Great Jaguar or Templo del Gran Jaguar.

She has the dry and cold storage to support extended time in remote areas which her expedition to Antarctica amply demonstrated
A view of the Clifton Suspension Bridge Bristol. The metal object was obviously placed there for Landscape photographers ! (whatever it is)

What do you do if you've got a great view and no foreground interest? Take your boots off! (OK, I stole this idea off Vivienne Crow!). I did this in HDR (-2,0,+2) but not sure I needed it. It probably added something to the clouds
Downtown Los Angeles
The Biltmore Hotel is in the foreground.
The tower in the background is the U.S. Bank Building. It was formerly known as the Library Tower (because it towers over L.A.'s central library and owns some of its air space) and also as the Interstate Bank Building. The tallest building in Los Angeles, I have also heard it called the tallest building between Chicago and Hong Kong (though I suppose that depends on which direction you take).
BTW, when the Biltmore was built in 1923, it was the largest hotel west of Chicago in the United States. Do we have Chicago envy here? [I always thought we were fixated on New York.] The Academy Awards were held at the Biltmore eight times.
The tower between the Biltmore and the U.S. Bank Building is the Biltmore Tower. It occupies a space where the Biltmore Theater once stood. Built in 1986, the Biltmore Tower is an office building.
The Medway Bridges from the southern side and east of them with yet another wreck I found on my photographic travels in the foreground. The wreck in the foreground has a torch hidden within to create the blue tint of light.

The pier in the foreground is Trinity Jubilee Pier, which was constructed using mostly salvaged materials in 2002. In 2007 it became the operational base of Thames Clippers Ltd, the operators of the fast catamaran passenger boats on the Thames.
Trinity Buoy Wharf is tucked into the end of a small peninsula at the point where the River Lea flows into the Thames, and for many years this was an isolated and forgotten part of London. Until 1988, this was where Trinity House built and maintained the buys and lightships that were used to aid navigation around the Kent, Essex and Suffolk coasts.
Trinity House was originally a voluntary organisation of shipmen and mariners, and was granted a Charter in 1514 by King Henry VIII, becoming "The Guild or Fraternity of the most glorious and undividable Trinity of St Clement". It gained its Coat of Arms in 1573, and with it the authority to erect beacons and other markers to aid navigation around the coasts of England; these evolved into the buoys, lightships and lighthouses for which Trinity House is still responsible around the United Kingdom.
Trinity Buoy Wharf was established in 1803 for the construction of wooden sea buoys, and over the years has adapted and expanded with the development of cast iron buoys in the 1860s. An experimental lighthouse was built in 1864 to test equipment and train lighthouse keepers; it still stands today.
Trinity Buoy Wharf was closed in December 1988 and acquired by the London Docklands Development Corporation, who decided to turn it into a centre for creative enterprises. In 1996 a long lease was granted to Urban Space Management, a company with a track record of regenerating former industrial locations.
