I have a lot of respect for those
who make it
to show a picture every day.

One colour
Well I was looking forward to this but was playing by ear after a 12 hour shift. I went upstairs to my prop chest and picked out various things and then proceeded to the wife's craft room and her scrapbooking sheets. Radomnly tried various things and then saw what looked good after downloading.(one can never really tell)
Happy Macro Mondays
This is a residential building located at 235 Insurgentes Sur in the neighbourhood of Roma Norte in Mexico City.
This photo was taken at Fort Macaulay in Esquimalt BC Canada (near Victoria). The fort was built here between February 1894 and October 1897 as part of a strategic defence location to protect the harbour entrance to the Royal Canadian Naval base. There were two other locations on the other side of the harbour. Each Fort had gun emplacements. None of the Fort's were ever used in a hostile manner. The site is now a park close to where I live. This was my playground for my friends and I when we were kids. Our dad's were in the army and the surrounding area is Work Point Barracks, basically a military residential housing location.

Ortygia (Italian: Ortigia) is a small island which is the historical centre of the city of Syracuse, Sicily. The island, also known as Città Vecchia (Old City), contains many historical landmarks. The name originates from the Ancient Greek ortyx (ὄρτυξ) which means "Quail".
Ortygia is located at the eastern end of Syracuse and is separated from it by a narrow channel. Three bridges connect the island to mainland Sicily. The island is an extremely popular place for tourism, shopping, entertainment and also a residential area.

China is still developing. 2025 will see the country starting its second phase of industrialisation, in its vast and resource rich western provinces, with Chongqing as the administrative hub and international port 1500 miles inland from the sea. Phase 1 industrialisation started from a low base in the 1970s and has made China the world's biggest economy and a manufacturer double in output of its only global competitor the United States. Phase 2 is beginning at an infinitely higher technological and infrastructural base, and is already mind-boggling.
Barred residential window in Porto, Portugal. Many buildings in Portugal and Spain have lovely barred wirndows and wooden doors. Image captures my attention with reddish bars, white wooden frames and bluish looking design curtain.
The house on the right recently sold for $1.7 million. Crazy property values
I really love this little house. Been meaning to photography it for a while but never managed the shot. Glad i got this because i fear this one will bite the dust in the next couple of years.

Elizabeth Quay is a mixed-use development project in the Perth central business district. Encompassing an area located on the north shore of Perth Water near the landmark Swan Bells, the precinct was named in honour of Queen Elizabeth II during her Diamond Jubilee.
The project includes construction of an artificial inlet on what was previously the Esplanade Reserve, and modifications to the surrounding environs including Barrack Square, with the project opening nine sites for potential development. Completed facilities were initially projected to include 1,700 residential apartments, 150,000 square metres (1.6 million square feet) of office space and 39,000 square metres (0.42 million square feet) of retail space.
Planning Minister John Day and Premier Colin Barnett turned the first ground at the Esplanade Reserve on 26 April 2012, and Barnett announced the name "Elizabeth Quay" on 28 May 2012. Construction of the inlet and associated infrastructure were completed in January 2016, ahead of the Perth International Arts Festival and Fringe World. The quay was officially opened on 29 January 2016. Construction of the associated buildings will be completed at varying times thereafter, with the first – The Ritz Carlton Hotel and an adjacent residential tower – opened on 15 November 2019.
Description
The Elizabeth Quay precinct is centred around an artificial inlet that opens to the Swan River at its south. At the eastern side of the mouth of the inlet is an islet, which contains the Florence Hummerston Kiosk (which hosts a hospitality complex), the Bessie Rischbieth statue and a playground, and is connected to the eastern shore by a short bridge and to the western shore by the longer Elizabeth Quay Bridge, a pedestrian and cycling bridge which spans the mouth of the inlet.
On the eastern shore are 24 public short stay moorings for recreational boats, as well as the Meet Our Australian Sailor sculpture on the south-eastern shore near the islet. The eastern side contains a 28-storey Ritz Carlton hotel and an adjacent residential tower, as well as two smaller buildings containing food and beverage outlets. The north shore, designated "The Landing", features the sculpture Spanda at its centre, with a carousel immediately west of the public artwork. Directly north of The Landing, across Geoffrey Bolton Avenue which bisects the area from west to east, is the 19-storey Nine The Esplanade office tower development (scheduled for completion in 2025), with the 29-storey Australian headquarters of Chevron Corporation located in the north-east of the precinct. To the north-west, adjacent to the Nine The Esplanade development, is an empty lot yet to be developed as of February 2025; this lot has been slated for the future 56-storey Fifteen The Esplanade mixed-use development.
The western shore features the Elizabeth Quay Jetty for Transperth ferry services to South Perth as well as commercial moorings. To the north-west is a shaded water park and play area and a building containing public toilets and a food and beverage outlet, with the mixed-use EQ West development consisting of two towers (52-storeys and 25-storeys, under construction as of February 2025) taking up the rest of the precinct to its west and south-west. The art piece First Contact stands on the south-west shore, near the western entry to the Elizabeth Quay Bridge.

Project THIS. Amsterdam: residential and office buildings, 2025, Architects: Powerhouse Company.
Aan de kop van de Grasweg en Distelweg, verrijst THIS. Op een voormalig bedrijventerrein komen twee luxe woongebouwen, twee sociale woonblokken, een kantoorgebouw en een boven- en ondergrondse parkeergarage.
A brief stop over in the Lois Hole park area. Why they look in such a hurry is because they were relentlessly chased (underwater) by the residential breeding Red necked grebe, which incidentally was "again" unsuccessful this year.
Thanks to Don Delaney for the heads up.
Saint-Petersburg, formerly known as Petrograd and later Leningrad. It is situated on the River Neva, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea. The city had a population of 5,601,911 residents as of 2021, with more than 6.4 million people living in the metropolitan area. Saint-Petersburg is the fourth-most populous city in Europe, the most populous city on the Baltic Sea, and the world's northernmost city of more than 1 million residents.
The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Saint Petersburg is home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world, the Lakhta Center, the tallest skyscraper in Europe, and was one of the host cities of the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the UEFA Euro 2020.
The name day of Peter I falls on 29 June, when the Orthodox Church observes the memory of apostles Peter and Paul. The consecration of the small wooden church in their names (its construction began at the same time as the citadel) made them the heavenly patrons of the Peter and Paul Fortress, while Saint Peter at the same time became the eponym of the whole city. When in June 1703 Peter the Great renamed the site after Saint Peter, he did not issue a naming act that established an official spelling; even in his own letters he used diverse spellings, such as Санктьпетерсьбурк (Sanktpetersburk), emulating German Sankt Petersburg, and Сантпитербурх (Santpiterburkh), emulating Dutch Sint-Pietersburgh, as Peter was multilingual and a Hollandophile. The name was later normalized and russified to Санкт-Петербург (Saint-Petersburg).
The historic architecture of Saint-Petersburg's city centre, mostly Baroque and Neoclassical buildings of the 18th and 19th centuries, has been largely preserved; although a number of buildings were demolished after the Bolsheviks' seizure of power, during the Siege of Leningrad and in recent years. The oldest of the remaining building is a wooden house built for Peter I in 1703 on the shore of the Neva near Trinity Square. Since 1991 the Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments in Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast have been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The Cudahy Tower is the southernmost of a string of residential highrises overlooking Lake Michigan along North Prospect Avenue.
The building originally sported an 11'-6" spire, which brought the original height to 235'-11". It has since been removed.
The tower has a granite base, brick on floors 3 to 11, and terracotta for the top floors.
The main entrance on Wells Street is about 9 feet higher than the sidewalk grade at the building's southeast corner.
