Looking west down what used to be "Rodger's Row" (and P Street SW) from the intersection of 4th and P Streets SW in Washington, D.C.
Pierre L'Enfant laid out the grid-and-diagonals street structure for Washington, D.C., in 1791. George Washington affirmed that east-west streets would be alphabetical, while north-south streets would be numbered. Diagonal avenues would be named for states.
P Street SW used to run westerly from South Capitol Street to the Potomac River. Just before it reached the river, it intersected with 4th Street SW and 4-1/2 Street SW. Along about half its length, on the south side of P Street SW, was the D.C. Penitentiary (now Fort Lesley J. McNair). The main entrance to the facility was on P Street SW. P Street SW lies within an area originally deeded to Charles Carroll the Settler in 1688, who sold it to Notley Young in 1770. Around 1792, Young sold the property to developer James Greenleaf, who platted it in 1794. Greenleaf built large residential townhomes along P Street SW in 1794-1795, but sold the property shortly afterward. The area bordering P Street passed through several hands, with the property becoming more and more fragmented over time. Benjamin G. Orr, the fourth mayor of the city, owned property on P Street SW between 4th and 4-1/2 Streets. He later sold some of it to Reverend Luther Rice (then-president of Columbian College) and some to Secretary of the Treasury William H. Crawford. Two of the houses on this block of P Street were owned by Columbian College (now known as George Washington University).
Navy Commodore John Rodgers purchased two of the homes on the far western end of P Street SW between 4th and 4-1/2 Streets SW, and connected the homes into a single dwelling. Rodgers' property extended to the Potomac River. This block became known as "Rodgers Row".
In the early 1870s, the homes here were purchased and demolished by the Metropolitan Railroad to build its 4-1/2 Street Car Barn and Shop. This streetcar barn was torn down in 1962 to allow for the construction of the Riverside Condominiums.

NORTH HOLLYWOOD - LAFD firefighters battled a blaze in three adjacent commercial buildings, fending off electrical hazards and building collapse, to extinguish the inferno in just over 3 hours.
A pile of oily rags were the culprit of a massive commercial structure fire on Lankershim Blvd just before midnight on November 1, 2019. Painting-related chemicals provided for a chemical reaction with the rags they were saturating and produced enough heat for them to spontaneously combust. Firefighters arrived to find fire blowing through the roof of the commercial building. Crews made access to enter the building and began cutting holes in the roof to ventilate the structure. As fire blew out of every hold that was cut, despite their continuous attempts to retreat to a less involved area to continue cutting, the decision was made to pull companies off the roof and out of the structure, and assume a defensive posture. The heavy fire load in the business quickly grew the fire, which spread to two more nearby commercial buildings.
The combined 40,000 square-foot fireball burned for over 3 hours, while 127 firefighters worked the perimeter to "surround and drown" the fire. Firefighters navigated around electrical wires down, and roof and wall collapses during the fight. By nearly 3:00 AM, the flames waved the white flag and gave up, succumbing to the three hour tour of large-diameter hose streams raining down, guided by spotters on the radio with a better vantage point. Ladder pipes, portable monitors, and 2-1/2-inch hand lines were all used in the deluge. The emergency was mitigated, but the work was not done.
Firefighters stayed on scene to overhaul the buildings and the debris pile for days following, while the pile continued to smoke. Plastics and other materials had melted throughout the pile, creating a water-resistant layer that protected hot spots under the surface from hose streams. LAFD tractor companies came out at first light the next morning to turn over the pile. A track loader (Caterpillar 953) and a wheel loader (Caterpillar IT28), driven by LAFD Heavy Equipment Operators, worked for days to continue overhauling the buildings and turn over debris, allowing firefighters to continue to put water on the materials to cool it off. Companies from all over the city rotated shifts during the days after, on "fire watch" to ensure nothing flared up and to continue to apply water while the tractors operated.
Fire investigators from the LAFD Arson/Counter-Terrorism Section obtained video evidence that enabled them to make the determination that the cause was accidental, due to spontaneous combustion. Near the end of the video from an internal surveillance camera, rags with painting-related chemicals on them (left on a bench) can be seen spontaneously combusting due to a chemical reaction. This is a sobering reminder to properly dispose of oily and chemical-soaked rags properly. Fortunately, no one was hurt during this Major Emergency fire.

At 4:29AM on August 14, 2019 the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to 2501 S Main Street for a reported structure fire. Firefighters arrived to find a 50‘ x 100’ commercial building, with fire showing on all sides.
The well entrenched fire required a defensive operation from the start. Firefighters deployed master streams to include ladder pipes and large diameter hand lines. As the roof collapsed on the 66 year old structure, crews continued to safely apply copious amounts of water from the exterior.
Once Incident Commander, Assistant Chief Kristina Kepner, deemed the blaze under control and conditions safe, she directed a return to an offensive operation so firefighters could reach the isolated pockets of fire and ensure full extinguishment.
115 firefighters waged the battle for one hour and 29 minutes before a complete knockdown was determined. Their tenacious efforts ensured the neighboring businesses were undamaged and no injuries were reported.
The LAFD Arson and Counter-Terrorism Section is actively investigating the cause per protocol for an incident of this scale.

The San Jose Fire Department had a very busy and very overwhelming 4th of July with numerous fires throughout the city and I ended up going to only 2 (Almost 3 if not 4) of the many fires. The Department was desperate for help so Mutual Aid was Requested for Citywide Coverage since the Department was fighting a few big brush fires closer to the East Side that I did not go to. Santa Clara County assisted with a Couple South Side Stations and I want to say an East Side Station close to 24's area and Milpitas covered for Station 23 I think.

Seems like everybody has a version of this, so I figured I would make my own :)
I currently have another image being rendered right now, but its only 35% complete after over 30 hours and I really wanted to see a finished product of something, so here it is.

Looking down the covered walkway of Merchants' Row. The storefront closest was originally the Opera House that was built circa 1840.
"The original building was a small one-story structure. It was widened and an upper story and the present storefront was constructed between 1850-1860. The building has been used as a photographer's studio, a U.S. Post Office, a general merchandise."
From the Historic Downtown Perryville Walking Tour pamphlet.
The second building seen in this section of the row was the Parks Dry Goods Store, circa 1840.
"Parks Dry good Store was built in 1840. The Parks Store was owned by William Huston Parks, the brother in law of Wallace Green, the local druggist. In 1870, Mr. Parks bought the store from another local store owner. A shrewd businessman, Mr. Parks opened three other stores in the 1800's, an unusual occurrence for that time. Including the Parks Store in Perryville, branches of the business also spread into Washington County and Mackville. During the earliest days of the store's existence, the store stocked boots, shoes, groceries and dry goods. Families from the surrounding areas would shop for supplies to last them for nearly the entire year. All would be bought in large quantity from nails by the keg to flour by the barrel. On March 18, 1918 Mr. Parks' daughter, Lora Parks, began to work for the store, but her father did not think it proper for young ladies to do public work. Despite her father's dissatisfaction with employing her, Miss Lora continued to work, and in July of 1930, following the death of her parents, she bought out the heirs and continued to own and operate the store until her own death in 1972. For over 100 years Parks Store was owned and operated by the same family."

With some leaves, it’s the fine structure I like. With this one however, the subtle colour gradient is just as nice.
Also have a look at my website at www.focx.de :)
Dancing Rabbit is located in a county that has no building codes, which gives members a great deal of leeway in deciding what to build. They do have an environmental covenant that disallows lumber, except for reclaimed lumber and locally harvested wood. Many structures utilize clay taken right out of the ground, often combined with straw bale construction.
In this picture is an example of a larger single family home.
