It used to be the case that alongside most road works and repairs you would find a similar canvas structure designed to allow the workforce to have a break or a cuppa, or shelter in the most inclement weather! These days I suspect a van does the job.
There were, of course, numerous companies who made similar collapsible shelters but this advert was issued by the London based concern of John Smith's whose main works were in Chadwell Heath, Essex. Smith's were manufacturer's of tarpaulins - waterproofed canvas sheets that would have been used to create the shelter in the days before plastic materials - and they were major suppliers and hirers of 'tarps at the London Docks, just down the road, and other major ports, etc.
Over a 106 years old, the Egmore Railway Station in Chennai, remains one of the cities centrally located, renowned landmarks. Its bright red and white colors, and vaulted metal ceiling on the interiors are what make it striking. With typical Victorian wrought iron beams,
My first black and white film through this camera. A few basic mistakes made along the way, including opening the camera back before I’d fully rewound the film. I’ll fess up on an individual photo basis as I post the images.
I used a yellow filter throughout the whole film.
I pointed my light meter at the foreground here. Should probably have gone under the bridge and taken the reading. Over exposed background adjusted in Photoshop leaving a very dark and imposing girder in the foreground.

A close up of the plume-like structure in this specimen of green flower garden, jasp-agate, I collected with Leslie, in northwest-Laredo, Webb County, Texas on May 16, 2021.
Construction on this impressive structure started in 1846 and took two years to complete. This monumental structure is a legacy and symbol of the Victorian age. The viaduct's statistics are awe inspiring - it is 1,066 feet long and boasts 32 arches of 30 feet span. The seven million bricks used in the construction of the viaduct were made from clay excavated from the nearby village of Bures. The viaduct crosses the Colne Valley at a maximum height of 75 feet.
It is the second largest brick built structure in England after the Battersea Power Station.
Peter Bruff, the engineer for the Stour Valley Railway, picked brick rather than the original choice of laminated timber, partly because it was cheaper.

Honduran Cashews
Anacardium occidentale
The cashew is a tree in the flowering plant family Anacardiaceae. The plant is native to northeastern Brazil. Its English name derives from the Portuguese name for the fruit of the cashew tree, caju, which in turn derives from the indigenous Tupi name, acajú. It is now widely grown in tropical climates for its cashew "nuts" and cashew apples.
What appears to be the fruit of the cashew tree is an oval or pear-shaped accessory fruit or false fruit that develops from the receptacle of the cashew flower. Called the cashew apple, better known in Central America as "jocote de marañón", it ripens into a yellow and/or red structure about 5–11 cm long. It is edible, and has a strong "sweet" smell and a sweet taste. The pulp of the cashew apple is very juicy, but the skin is fragile, making it unsuitable for transport. It is often used as a flavor in agua fresca.
The true fruit of the cashew tree is a kidney or boxing-glove shaped drupe that grows at the end of the pseudofruit. The drupe develops first on the tree, and then the peduncle expands into the pseudofruit. Within the true fruit is a single seed, the cashew nut. Although a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the fruit of the cashew is a seed. The seed is surrounded by a double shell containing a dermatogenic phenolic resin, urushiol, a potent skin irritant toxin also found in the related poison ivy
The superb architecture of the temple boasts of a 9 story Vimana (the structure in the picture) that extends to the height of 185 feet and the main deity is 13 feet tall Shivalinga.
GangaiKondaCholapuram Temple was built by Emperor Rajendra Chola I. He had his army march northwards, all the way to the Ganga, to bring home pots of holy water from the river. Defeating enemy armies along the way, his men returned victorious, earning Rajendra the title ‘Gangaikondachola’, meaning ‘the Chola who conquered the Ganges’.

This is something I'm not very experienced with - a art structure. I've seen lots of great mosaics (eg Katie's) and I wanted to try out how to use all these parts. I was ill the last two weeks (had a cold and sth with my knee -_-) so I couldn't come up with something more MoCish.
Hope you like it.

Clear Creek Second Outlet Channel and Gated Structure
Located near S.H. 146 just north of the Clear Lake natural outlet at Kemah/Seabrook, the Clear Creek second outlet channel was built to allow the discharge of watershed runoff from Clear Lake into Galveston Bay so lake levels are not increased due to a proposed upstream Clear Creek channel enlargement. Gates were included to reduce sediment inflow into the channel, lessen impacts of currents on navigation adjacent to the second outlet channel, and to prevent changes in tidal inflow and salinity intrusion through the second outlet from causing changes to the existing hydraulic and environmental conditions of Clear Lake.
The gates do not provide tidal or hurricane protection for lakeside or Clear Creek communities.
