At 11:30PM on November 7, 2021 the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire in the 8100 block of N Sunland Bl in Sun Valley. Firefighters arrived to a two story, commercial building (site of previous burn) with heavy fire showing. In a mostly defensive operation, 87 firefighters battled flames with at least four ladder pipes and several other heavy streams in operation on the commercial building for over two hours before safely achieving a knockdown.

Interesting. Even under large sizes this looks fine in Lightroom. When you bring it up to a large size in Flickr, there are quality problems on the left edge.
Added to Explore at #281. Thanks all!

15 exposure HDR with custom settings to produce as near to natural visuals that the eye sees
I used JPEG from camera so I can later do a comparison from Raw files to Tiffs then make HDR using custom settings from these tiffs and hopefully get more detail

Ancient Healing Structures.. Each structure had its own unique frequency encoded in the rose windows, now closed by glass and deactivated. These ancient structures could have been created by sound.. Sound is the substance of Creation... "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
Genesis 1:3

Under the George Washington Bridge - a 4,760 ft (1,450 m) bridge connecting northern New Jersey to upper Manhattan, New York City.
The Manali-Leh highway
One of the highest and most rugged highways in the world, the journey on the Manali - Leh highway is one that leaves the traveller gasping for breath on all accounts...dream like landscapes taking your breath away at almost every turn and sheer breathlessness from the lack of oxygen as you cross some of the highest roads and mountain passes in the world.
It connects the Manali valley to Kullu valley, Lahaul and Spiti and Ladakh and is open only between June and mid-September when snow is cleared from the road. Prominent passes that one crosses include Rohtang La (3,978m), Baralacha La (5,045m), Lachulung La (5,059m) and Tanglang La (5,325m). Between Lachlung La and Taglang La the road crosses the More plains, a vast desert like expanse at an altitude in excess of 4,500mts.
The journey along the road normally takes two days and many travellers make overnight stops at Jispa and tented camps such as Sarchu. Alternately, overnight stops can be made at Keylong. Owing to the high altitudes and the low-oxygen air, many travelers experience breathlessness, headaches and nausea or in some cases even acute mountain sickness.
The highway was designed, built, constructed and is maintained in its entirety by the Indian Army and is capable of supporting the heaviest of their vehicles. This journey is often referred to as the ultimate challenge for riding and off-roading enthusiansts and attracts bikers from all over the world.
Fremont Residential Structure. This masonry dwelling was built by Fremont people who inhabited this canyon from about 700 to 1300 A.D. Numerous dwellings of this type can be found on rock ledges along the length of the canyon. The typical structure is built in a D-shape right up against a rock face. Note that the back wall and ceiling of this dwelling are plastered with mud. BLM Nine Mile Canyon area. Duchesne Co., Utah.
The American Industrial Center commands the street corner with an authoritative presence that speaks to both its historical roots and contemporary purpose. Shot during the blue hour when natural light fades and artificial illumination takes over, this massive structure showcases one of San Francisco's most successful examples of industrial adaptive reuse at the Pier 70 complex.
This building's design language is distinctly different from its historic brick neighbors across the street. The warm terracotta and cream-colored facade, punctuated by hundreds of steel-framed windows arranged in a precise grid, represents a more modern approach to preserving industrial character. The exposed concrete structure with its bold horizontal banding creates a rhythm across the facade that's both industrial and elegant. It's a careful balance between honoring the site's manufacturing heritage and creating functional contemporary space.
The ground floor colonnade is particularly striking—a series of white columns creating a covered arcade that provides both practical weather protection and architectural drama. The generous ceiling height and open design of this ground-level space recall the loading docks and open bays that would have characterized the original industrial waterfront. Modern lighting fixtures illuminate the walkway, casting bright pools of light that contrast beautifully with the deep blue twilight sky above.
Looking at the fenestration pattern, you can see how the building is organized. Those massive window groupings speak to the flexible loft-style spaces within—high ceilings, open floor plans, and abundant natural light. This is exactly what creative companies, tech startups, and design firms look for when choosing office space. The industrial bones provide character that no suburban office park could replicate, while the modern systems and finishes provide the functionality contemporary businesses require.
The street scene itself tells a story about how Pier 70 functions today. A few cars are parked along the curbs, traffic signals glow red and blue, and the crosswalk striping is crisp and fresh. The overhead power lines cutting across the frame are a reminder that this is a working neighborhood, not some sanitized development that erases all traces of urban grit. That utility pole on the right and the various street fixtures ground the scene in everyday urban reality.
What's particularly notable about this perspective is how it captures the building's corner condition. Corner buildings have always been architecturally significant—they're visible from multiple directions, they anchor intersections, and they help define the character of a neighborhood. The American Industrial Center embraces this responsibility, presenting strong facades on both street frontages and creating a landmark that helps orient visitors to the district.
The lighting design deserves attention. Those glowing windows on the upper floors suggest activity within—people working late, businesses that operate beyond traditional hours. The variety in the window illumination, with some blue-toned lights visible among the warmer glows, hints at the diverse mix of tenants and uses within. Meanwhile, the ground-floor lighting creates a welcoming pedestrian environment, crucial for a neighborhood that's trying to balance its industrial past with a more mixed-use future.
Dogpatch and the broader Pier 70 area have become a laboratory for urban planners and developers interested in adaptive reuse. Rather than demolishing these massive industrial structures, San Francisco has chosen to preserve and repurpose them. The American Industrial Center represents a slightly different approach than the historic brick buildings nearby—here, the strategy was to create new construction that respects the industrial aesthetic without directly mimicking historical architecture. It's contextual design that speaks to its surroundings while maintaining its own distinct identity.
The empty streets at this hour create a contemplative atmosphere. You can appreciate the architecture without distraction, study the interplay of light and shadow, and imagine the building's multiple lives—past industrial uses, periods of vacancy or underutilization, and now this current chapter as a hub for the modern economy.
