Street photography from the Hayward Gallery at the Southbank Centre in London. Loved the light and shadow on this, especially the framing of the security guard amongst the concrete brutalist structure of this iconic gallery.

The Security Building is a historic site in downtown Miami, Florida. It is located at 117 Northeast 1st Avenue. On January 4, 1989, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The building has 16 floors with a height of 225 feet (69 m) and was built from 1926 to 1927.
The Dade County Security Company was organized in 1901 and moved to a nearby headquarters in 1923. By the mid-1920s the company needed a larger headquarters. In 1921, the Dade County Security Company had acquired the McKinnon Hotel which occupied a mid-block parcel on Northeast 1st Avenue and renamed it the Security Hotel. Dade Security had considered adding stories atop the hotel but opted in 1925 to raze the hotel and construct a new headquarters on the same site under the direction of architect Robert Greenfield.
Construction on the Security Building began in 1926. The building was known as the Security Building from its opening in 1927 until 1945. Upon opening, the first level and mezzanine were devoted to banking offices. The floors above provided 275 office suites and were reached by four "high speed" elevators.
The Security Building faces west onto NE 1st Avenue. It is located in mid-block with buildings on either side. Those buildings are considerably shorter than the Security Building. The building maintains a zero-foot (0 m) setback, and the entry doors open directly onto the sidewalk. There are no landscape features on the property. The building is composed of a main block parallel to the street, and a second block connected perpendicularly that extends to the east.
With only a 50-foot (15 m) frontage, the architect made a grand statement by creating an almost temple-like base, consisting of the first three stories. Engaged pilasters, that also frame the center bay, articulate the corners creating three distinct bays. Spandrels between the floors are bronze and feature relief ornament. The pilasters carry the entablature, with the name “Security Building” in incised letters. A dentilled molding ornaments the cornice that terminates this division of the building.
The fourth floor begins the transition to the high-rise portion of the building. Stone panels with a similar relief accent the corners and separate the bays. Above the windows of the fourth floor is another projecting element, a stringcourse that is ornamented with a guilloche pattern in relief.
Floors five through 13 continue the three bays with window arrangements that are grouped in pairs on each of the end bays, and are grouped in three in the center bay, emphasizing the importance of the center bay to the entire composition. The windows are a metal casement type.
Security Building (Miami) South and West Facades, top floors with mansard roof and cupola.
The 14th and 15th floors function as the base for the great mansard roof, which terminates the building. To balance the composition, the two floors are treated as if they were one by the use of a round arch at the 15th floor that is carried by the pilasters of the 14th floor, so that the two floors are visually united.
A bracketed cornice separates the building from the roof form that is so decidedly different from roof treatments in Miami during this period. A mansard roof is a double-pitched roof with a steep upper slope. The mansard roof was named for architect Francois Mansart (1598–1666). Mansart worked in the 17th century and introduced the roof form that extended attic space to provide additional usable area. The mansard roof is a character-defining feature of the Second Empire style that was named after Napoleon III, who took on major building projects in Paris during the 18th century.
The mansard roof of the Security Building is clad in copper and terminates in a series of antefixae. A series of arches containing windows and serving as dormers penetrates the roof. Bull's-eye windows are placed between the arched windows. An eight-sided cupola that extends from the center of the roof is fenestrated on each side with a multi-paned arched window. The dome of the cupola also is clad in copper.
The north and south ends of the building are not ornamented. The windows are a metal casement type. The quoining on the corners of the west elevation is repeated in the north and south elevations of the building. The extension to the east is flat-roofed and is terminated by a defined cornice. The majority of the wall surface contains windows that are either square or rectangular in shape. They contain metal casement windows.

The toughest security gate I have ever seen, bristling with high voltage electricity and these mean spikes, as well as stuff I don't even understand.
Day 144 - Private Security - obviously this figure was extremely influenced by one of my most favorite figures of KJ's - a private security figure based off the private security group Blackwater. Anyway, I've also included a modded BrickArms M4 with an AC8 scope, grenade launcher, and extended stock.
Thanks!
A quick build made in about half an hour. Inspired my Mike's epic F.A.M.
I really like how it came out, both boxy and smooth. Also, I'm especially happy to discover I have 4 black Throwbot visors :D

The little saki primate feels completely safe in the protective arms.
Somehow human and exciting at the same time.
I am incredibly happy that I was able to capture this moment with the camera.
Taken with the Sony A6000 and the Sony 70-350mm lens at the Nuremberg Zoo.
Völlig geborgen fühlt sich der kleine Sakiprimat in den schützenden Armen.
Irgendwie Menschlich und aufregend zugleich.
Ich bin unheimlich glücklich, das ich diesen Moment mit der Kamera festhalten durfte.
Aufgenommen mit der Sony A6000 und dem Sony 70-350mm Objektiv im Tiergarten Nürnberg.

Ezekiel 16:49-50 “This is what your sister Sodom has done wrong. She and her daughters were proud that they had plenty of food and had peace and security. They didn't help the poor and the needy. They were arrogant and did disgusting things in front of me. So I did away with them when I saw this.”
Argo Industries Authorities or ARGOSec (also known as AIA or AGSEC), were the official authorities and security force of Argo Industries opperations. During the regin of the Empire, AIA had been annexed as supplementary law enforcement in the Arkanis sector. After the fall of the Empire most resources had been used at the ArgoSec headquarters on Arkanis which mean spending more time and resources as private security for Argo Industries executives, than actual security of Argo Industries activities. Argo Industries outposts rarely received security resources they requested, and those lucky enough to have officers stationed were often highly neglected. This in turn meant that some Argo operations opted for mercenaries and even ex-imperials.
