3100 Chapline c. 1880, 1928, 1940, 1955
Wheeling Tile Plant 1 has an irregular plan and occupies most of the block between 31st and 32nd Streets and Chapline
and Eoff Streets. The masonry building is generally L-shaped, with an angle at the southern end that conforms to the
angle of 32nd Street. It has a flat roof with parapet walls. A five-story brick tower with a four-story extension is
situated near the southern end. The rest of the building is one story. The building was constructed in several phases
and exhibits materials common to industrial facilities at the time of construction. Portions of the building were originally separated but have since been connected.
Irregularly shaped tiles have been used to cover a shop wall in Bloomsbury, London. They've probably been there for a while. They contrast with the stark rendering on the adjoining facade.

This delicate blue group of stars — actually an irregular galaxy named IC 3583 — sits some 30 million light-years away in the constellation of Virgo (The Virgin).
It may seem to have no discernable structure, but IC 3583 has been found to have a bar of stars running through its center. These structures are common throughout the Universe, and are found within the majority of spiral, many irregular, and some lenticular galaxies. Two of our closest cosmic neighbors, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, are barred, indicating that they may have once been barred spiral galaxies that were disrupted or torn apart by the gravitational pull of the Milky Way.
Researchers at the University of Leicester, England note there are two types of irregular galaxy. Type I's are usually single galaxies of peculiar appearance. They contain a large fraction of young stars, and show the luminous nebulae that are also visible in spiral galaxies. Type II irregulars include the group known as interacting or disrupting galaxies, in which the strange appearance is due to two or more galaxies colliding, merging or otherwise interacting gravitationally.
Something similar might be happening with IC 3583. This small galaxy is thought to be gravitationally interacting with one of its neighbors, the spiral Messier 90. Together, the duo form a pairing known as Arp 76. It’s still unclear whether these flirtations are the cause of IC 3583’s irregular appearance — but whatever the cause, the galaxy makes for a strikingly delicate sight in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, glimmering in the blackness of space.

Sat upon one of the peaks overlooking the Sintra Hills, the Moorish Castle is a fortification built in around the 10th century following the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula by the Moors. Two rings of walls run irregularly around both the granite boulders that dot these hills and along the peaks of sharp and steep cliff faces. Along the sentry walkways, there is the opportunity to admire the unique landscape that in the foreground features Sintra town and its Town Hall, the Palace of Pena and the hills and, beyond, in the background, the extensive plain running northwards and the Atlantic Ocean.
Crazy Tuesdays - Footwear
These 'Irregular Choice' blue and red floral 'Abigail's Party' tie-up shoes belong to my daughter Haley......who just loves quirky shoes.
Irregular Choice was created by Dan Sullivan in 1999 as a reason to stand out from the crowd.
Back in the late 90's Dan saw that the footwear market was becoming very neutral and black, yet there was a global demand for something different and individual, something to wear with pride.
From embellished heels, ornate wood carvings, tiny intricate charms and lavish fabrics, to the memorable colour combinations, everybody has an Irregular Choice favourite shoe or story.
Each year Dan creates over 600 different styles, and is constantly jotting down styles, photos and sketches, it’s an ever expanding creative process reaching to what is now over 10,000 different options.
Irregular Choice has evolved with great strides over the past decade. The brand is now sold through hundreds of stockists around the world, and has nine of its own stores across the globe, with more in the pipeline.
Every Irregular Choice customer has their own favourite designs, and with such a huge collection to choose from each season there is always something to tempt every shoe addict.

It's Somerset House again, this time the Nelson Stair which is in the west end on the southern building.
I've started to put together a map of spiral staircases in London. If you look at this Google Map you can see the one's I'm aware of. If you've got any that you know of that aren't on the map and you like them added then send me a Flickr mail with the details and I'll add it.
