To finish off the Craigellachie Tunnel set, here's a striking shot of the northern portal, looking through to the retaining wall and bridge at the southern end. In order to capture the tunnel looking as bright as it does here, I did an initial light paint around the portal, followed by taking a walk through, swinging the torch as I went. I kept going in that manner until I'd walked the bridge at the other side. Despite it being quite windy, the ferns haven't suffered as much motion blur as they have in some of the shorter exposures I took at this point.
Just as a quick recap about the UK's most northerly tunnel, it's 68 yards in length and sits on a significant ledge above the River Spey but below the A95. The lining consists of stone along the side walls and brick across the crown and the southern approach is shored up by a substantial brick retaining wall and to bridge the cliff the railway runs half way down, there's a half bridge in place. All in all, there's enough to see here to warrant a visit if you're ever passing by, although it doesn't really justify a 300 mile round trip. With that said, we did spend the day looking at various other bridges and former stations so if you plan this as only being part of your day then it's well worth a look.
The laser-cut paper models are the result of a collaborative design studio of the Faculty of Architecture and the Faculty of Product-Design at the University of Kassel. The students went through a one week drill of Rhino Scripting and subsequently designed and implemented their own parametric modules. The propagation of modules along a three-dimensional guiding geometry is twofold: In the first iteration a centre line model of the structure is generated and transferred to a structural analysis program. In the second iteration the actual modules are generated driven by the guiding geometry and the local forces derived from the preceding analysis. Manfred Grohmann, Markus Schein, Oliver Tessmann
In Liverpool we concentrated on the Anglican and Roman Catholic Cathedrals. These two impressive structures face each other at either end of Hope Street and are about mile apart. As you approach the Roman Catholic cathedral you are greeted by a very different architectural form. I first saw this soon after it was built when I was at art school in the 1960s and we came to the Walker Gallery. I fell in love with the form and the way it seems to soar to the heavens. I know it is known all around as Paddy's Wigwam but I think it is so successful.
Once inside more modern splendour greets you with wonderful use of the light through stained glass and through the placement of artificial lighting.
These are tricky exposures and I used the Leica M11's high ISO sensitivity to help capture these.
The cathedral's official title is Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ The King. It was originally designed by Pugin as a traditional church. This was started with the Lady Chapel but got no further. Some 60 years later Lutyen's designed a cathedral based around a dome like St Pauls but that came to a dead end. Adrian Gilbert Scott downscaled the design and this final shape was the responsibility of Sir Frederick Gibberd’s (1908-1984) who had a much tighter budget.

At 5:09PM on May 28, 2022 the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to the 6800 block of N Troost Av for a reported structure fire. Firefighters arrived to find a one story commercial building with fire showing. Crews immediately initiated an offensive operation with interior fire attack and truck companies on the roof performing vertical ventilation.
Approximately 20 minutes into the incident, a partial roof collapse at the front of the building triggered the transition to a defensive operation. Over 80 firefighters ultimately extinguished the blaze in one hour and 46 minutes with no injuries reported. They contained the fire to the building of origin, defended the exposed buildings from damage. LAFD Arson responded for the investigation per protocol.

Chamaedorea elegans flower buds.
A macro study of one section of the inflorescence of a Parlor Palm. The tiny flowers are inflorescence (male or female on separate plants).
"An inflorescence, in a flowering plant, is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main branch or a system of branches. An inflorescence is categorized on the basis of the arrangement of flowers on a main axis (peduncle) and by the timing of its flowering (determinate and indeterminate)."
"One can also define an inflorescence as the reproductive portion of a plant that bears a cluster of flowers in a specific pattern."
"Inflorescences are described by many different characteristics including how the flowers are arranged on the peduncle, the blooming order of the flowers, and how different clusters of flowers are grouped within it. These terms are general representations as plants in nature can have a combination of types. Because flowers facilitate plant reproduction, inflorescence characteristics are largely a result of natural selection." (Wikipedia)
Part of a head structure for a pilot mine, Babbitt, Minnesota. While cleaning out some old papers I found a roll of Kodak Tri-X wrapped in a small piece of paper that simply said: "Push to 3200". I had no idea what was on it or if it was even worth processing, but went ahead and had it developed last week. After viewing the images, I realized I exposed this roll 29 years ago! The images are grainy (no surprise at ASA 3200!) and some of the images are quite dark, but I think a couple of good images will come of it.

Built in 1956-57, this structure doubles as the Richmond County Courthouse and Augusta Municipal Building. It was designed by Scroggs & Ewing and Kuhle & Wade. In 2009-11, a newer city-county judicial center was built on James Brown Boulevard.
Founded in 1736 by James Oglethorpe, and named for Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, Georgia's third largest city is home to roughly 202,000 people (in 2020). Augusta serves as the seat of Richmond County, which has mostly consolidated its government with that of the municipality of Augusta.
The structure at the top is Kane's Bridge, a pedestrian bridge across the Yarra River in Melbourne, at Yarra Bend Park. It's a suspension bridge and sways enough when people are crossing that some are scared to! The structures lower centre are spider webs, highlighted against the light in the fog.
Post-processing involved simply using the black pointer on a levels adjustment layer because I was shooting against the light and some sun flare had reached my camera sensor.
Better on black!

While I'm trying to figure out how to take this thing with me on a plane to afolcon next month, I thought I'd share a quick look at its 'private parts'.
I climbed this tower to get this shot: www.flickr.com/photos/codeytannerphotography/15824571332/
(Don't worry. I didn't climb very high!)

This process is also carried out in rural areas, referred to as village renewal, although it may not be exactly the same in practice.
In some cases, the renewal can lead to urban expansion and less congestion when urban infrastructure begins to incorporate highways and motorways .
Today's build was an attempt to abstract Lego building without having it become a representational structure and using only one color.
structure.
definitive one will be a way different than this.it’s only to have an idea of measures and forms, but i thought it became in a cute way and decided to take a pic :)
At the golden edge of dusk, the Keegan Theatre’s red-brick façade glows warmly against a clear Washington, D.C. sky. Located at 1742 Church Street NW in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, this former church building has been transformed into one of the city’s most beloved intimate performing arts venues. With light spilling softly from its symmetrical arched windows and entryway, the building invites visitors in with the promise of storytelling, creativity, and community.
Originally built in 1905 as the Mount Vernon United Methodist Church, this structure has seen the neighborhood around it evolve dramatically over the past century. Its dignified Romanesque design—with rounded-arch windows, decorative brickwork, and modest stone trim—retains the gravitas of its ecclesiastical origins while now embracing a lively new purpose as a theater.
Posters flank the entrance announcing upcoming performances, while the LGBTQ+ pride flag waves proudly above the doorway, signaling the venue’s inclusive spirit. The modern glass expansion to the left harmonizes gracefully with the original architecture, showcasing how adaptive reuse can balance heritage with growth.
This image captures more than just a theater; it reflects the soul of a city that values art, diversity, and historic preservation. It’s a moment of stillness before the lights go down and the curtain rises.

'The Eiffel Tower (French: Tour Eiffel, [tuʁ ɛfɛl]) is an 1889 iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris that has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The Eiffel Tower, which is the tallest building in Paris,[10] is the single most visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch for the 1889 World's Fair.
The tower stands 324 m (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-story building. It was the tallest man-made structure in the world from its completion until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France after the 2004 Millau Viaduct.
The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend by stairs or lift to the first and second levels. The walk to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. The third and highest level is accessible only by lift. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants.
The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.' - Wiki

Seen powering away from a station stop at Kensington Olympia is preserved Southern Railway rebuilt West Country Pacific number 34046 'Braunton', heading through West Brompton on the West London Line whilst working the 'Canterbury Belle' from Bristol Temple Meads to Canterbury. Braunton had taken over from diesel traction at Willesden Junction.
Although the West London Line did allow the movement of Southern Railway engines on its rails, the line was constantly juggled between various operators, including the Great Western Railway and the London, Midland & Scottish Railway. During the 1950's the line saw a major decline in services and was on the brink of closure altogether until major investments in the late 1980's saw the route electrified and operated by Network SouthEast Class 313's between Clapham Junction and Stratford. Within the space of 10 years the line went from seeing only 1 unadvertised train per day to having a half-hourly service, which has continued to be built on and now sees a London Overground Class 378 every 15 minutes together with Southern Class 377's bound for Milton Keynes.
West Brompton station itself was closed to national rail traffic in 1940, only being served by the District Line on its Kensington Olympia branch. But in 1999 the station was reopened and now features frequent commuter trains.
It should also be noted the large structure of Earl's Court Exhibition Centre immediately north of the station, a structure that could easily be mistaken for a large railway terminus in its own right.
