As part of the campus of buildings that serve as the headquarters of Mortgage Guaranty Investment Company (MGIC). This four-story marble-clad building was built in 1973 by architects Skidmore, Owings and Merrill in the contemporary style. The multiple cantilevered levels give the building a unique inverted pyramid design.
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
William Blake
Or at least the most known (and beautiful) part of a rather disturbingly dark work.
The bridge, known as The People's Bridge, was closed to motor vehicles after a hurricane flood in 1972 and converted to a pedestrian and bikeway link. In 1996 the bridge lost two of its western spans due to high floodwaters. The Market Street Bridge (formally the Camelback Bridge) to the right is a stone arch span dating to 1926.
You can see the dome of the Pennsylvania State Capital on the left beyond. the square light colored office building near the center of the inverted triangle part of the bridge.
The main flowering season for most rhododendrons is from April to June. However, this year we have numerous flowers and buds in November!

The spiral staircase in the Passion Tower of the Sagrada Família, Barcelona Spain.
The staircase is notable for its unique, organic form that mimics natural snail-shell shapes, and its symbolic meaning.
The narrow and dramatic descent staircase appears to spiral infinitely downward when viewed from above. Its central void creates an optical illusion of depth and a dizzying visual effect.

Even under the cloudy skies Blue hour is setting in, with all the excitement done for the day, locals, families, and railfans for the most part have all gone home and off to other adventures with only a few people staying behind to watch the Santa Train depart. The inbound crew is in the process of setting out the two borrowed passenger cars before the outbound crew comes on duty. Shortly the train will depart with the fresh crew and we will be off to Poplar for one more shot of the day... or night depending on how you look at it.
Black&White can focus on the essential. Or, as here, it can completely change the character of a scene. I remember it as bright, sunny, warm, moving. But what I see here is spooky, dark, static.

I was amazed when I downloaded this shot to find the Rainbow Bee-eater was upside down. Something that wasn't obvious to the naked eye. I will definitely be paying more attention next time.
"It is a country to breed mystical people… perhaps poetic people… It was not prairie dwellers who invented the indifferent universe or impotent man. Puny you may feel there, and vulnerable, but not unnoticed. This is a land to mark the sparrow’s fall."
- Wallace Stegner
This is my favourite tree. It's a willow of some kind; I really should collect a leaf and seeds next year and try to I.D. the species. I drive past it - twice - every time I hike the buttes in Grasslands, and whenever the sky looks interesting, I'll stop for a photo.
On this evening, coming back home after the sun had dropped below the horizon, I liked the clouds, and especially the way the afterglow lit them up in the last light of day. The lone tree in silhouette looked great against that sky. Note the Swainson's Hawk nest - the inverted triangular shape near the top. The hawks declined to nest there this year, leading me to believe they know something I don't... maybe the old tree is going to bite the dust soon... I hope not, because it would be like losing an old friend. But every sparrow falls in the end.
Re. the Stegner quote: this is from Wolf Willow, his reminiscence of childhood years spent in and around Eastend, just west of my location, on the Frenchman River, then called Whitemud Creek. A much better name in my opinion. It's the same country, the same land that I photograph almost daily, that somehow, defying expectations, has taken hold of my heart and mind and imagination. So different from where I grew up and other places I've lived. Stegner's feel for it and descriptions of it are the best I've ever read; I think when he refers to mystical people and poetic people, he may be talking about himself.

If you visit the picturesque town of Sintra, just north of Lisbon in Portugal, there you’ll find a very deep hole. Not just any hole, mind you, but a surreal well-like hole which is in fact an initiation well created by the Knights of Templar, a Catholic military institution.
It’s to be found within the rambling gardens of Quinta da Regaleira, an extravagant gothic manor which is part of Sintra's extraordinary Unesco World Heritage landscape. It’s one of two initiation wells which spiral deep down into the ground, almost like inverted towers.
No-one knows for sure, but it’s believed that Templar candidates were blindfolded and taken via flights of steps to the bottom; then they’d be left to find their way up towards the light. If they managed the feat, they’d be welcomed into the brotherhood. And if they failed… well, who knows?
Today, visitors can make their own way down and up quite safely, without fear of blindfolds or initiation.
