CAL FIRE/Placer County Fire Department assisted Placer Hills Fire Protection District with a structure fire on Ponderosa Lane Auburn February 2023.
Under construction in North Philly. When finished, this structure will be the home of the Community Ecology Center. This structure is being built primarily of found materials... Basically, the community is clearing the lot and building a useful structure from the trash. This looks like a win-win to me.
Taken and post-processed entirely with my Android phone.
This was a fun garden structure to create. It also has an amazing view overlooking a private golf course in Toronto. The fabric ceiling is retractable and provides some protection from the rain and sun. Endless detail to this structure. This garden structure was crafted in the Toronto area.

big wild goose pagoda xianGiant Wild Goose Pagoda or Big Wild Goose Pagoda (Chinese: 大雁塔; pinyin: Dàyàn Tǎ), is a Buddhist pagoda located in southern Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China. It was built in 652 during the Tang Dynasty and originally had five stories, although the structure was rebuilt in 704 during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian and its exterior brick facade was renovated during the Ming Dynasty. One of the pagoda's many functions was to hold sutras and figurines of the Buddha that were brought to China from India by the Buddhist translator and traveler Xuanzang.The original pagoda was built during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang (r. 649-683), then standing at a height of 54 m (177 ft).[1] However, this construction of rammed earth with a stone exterior facade eventually collapsed five decades later. The ruling Empress Wu Zetian had the pagoda rebuilt and added five new stories by the year 704; however, a massive earthquake in 1556 heavily damaged the pagoda and reduced it by three stories, to its current height of seven stories.[2] The entire structure leans very perceptibly (several degrees) to the west. Its related structure, the 8th century Small Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an, only suffered minor damage in the 1556 earthquake (still unrepaired to this day).[2] The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda was extensively repaired during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) and renovated again in 1964. The pagoda currently stands at a height of 64 m (210 ft) tall and from the top it offers views over the current city of Xi'an.
During the Tang Dynasty the pagoda was located within the grounds of a monastery, within a walled ward of the larger southeastern sector of the city, then known as Chang'an.[3][4] The monastic grounds around the pagoda during the Tang Dynasty had ten courtyards and a total of 1,897 bays.[3][5] In those days graduate students of the Advanced Scholars examination in Chang'an inscribed their names at this monastery.[3]
Close by the pagoda is the Temple of Great Maternal Grace; Da Ci'en. This temple was originally built in 589 and then rebuilt 647 in memory of his mother Empress Wende by Li Zhi who later became the Tang Emperor Gaozong.
The monk Xuanzang's statue stands in front of the temple area.

This amazing glass couture piece Structures of Self was recently modeled by one of the collaborating artists during the new Beakerhead festival of science, art and engineering. The idea to collaborate on an a photoshoot that paired the alien/bug like garment with the 40 foot RayGun Gothic Rocketship during the setting sun, made for some pretty creative images

The Chappel Viaduct, Essex. Built in the late 1840s for the Colchester, Stour Valley, Sudbury & Halstead Railway, the structure is a third of a kilometre long, higher at one end than the other, and contains about five or six million bricks (despite the piers being hollow).
I've been over this a few times by train, but it's far less impressive than actually getting underneath it on foot. I'm glad a series of unexpected train ticket choices led me to need to go to the Colchester line, rather than my more usual Stansted train, so I got a chance to have a look at it.
Cone-in-cone limestone bed, composed of finely fibrous calcite. This weathered sample is likely derived from an interbed in the Ohio Shale outcrop belt (Frasnian-Famennian, Upper Devonian) of central Ohio, USA.
Cone-in-cone structures are strange features found as interbeds in fine-grained siliciclastic rocks and sometimes found in the outer layers of concretions. They consist of sets of conical structures stacked up within each other. Mineralogically, they are often composed of finely-crystalline fibrous calcite. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed over the years that try to explain cone-in-cone structures. None has emerged as the most popular or most likely (see Lugli et al., 2005 for a long list of proposed formation mechanisms). These structures remain a mystery.

BUILDING THE INTERNET OF THINGS
Connecting our homes and business to the internet will disrupt businesses, improve efficiency and usher in an era of disruption not seen since the beginning of the web.
The Chapel is the most notable structure in Fort Ross because it's unusual for North America. It's landmark "small belfry" is a familiar sight along Highway One and the chapel is a mecca for visiting Russians. During the 1906 earthquake, the chapel's old walls completely caved in and the floors and foundation were reduced to rubble. In the spring of 1916 the State Legislature appropriated $3,000 towards its reconstruction. In October of 1970, the restored chapel was entirely destroyed by an accidental fire. The chapel that emerged in 1973 is what is seen today in the compound.
This is the bell located at the entrance to the Chapel. It might have been used to inform about religious services, as well as an alarm to all in case of an attack to the settlement.
Fort Ross is a former Russian settlement located on the west coast of North America in what is now Sonoma County, California USA. It was the hub of the southernmost Russian settlements in North America between 1812 to 1841. This establishment is a landmark in the history of European imperialism. The Spanish expansion went west across the Atlantic Ocean and the Russian expansion went east across Siberia and the Pacific Ocean. In the early 19th century, the two waves of expansion met on the opposite side of the world along the Pacific Coast of California, with Russia arriving from the north, Spain from the south, and the United States of America from the east.

This photo is part of a series of images captured during a road trip up the northern coast of California during late spring of 2011. This single-day trip began in the central valley of California and camera shooting started in Windsor just north of Santa Rosa and on to Bodega Bay all the way up to Fort Bragg.

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City opened in 1959 and as become one of the most loved landmarks in the city.
Architect Frank Lloyd Wright took 15 years, 700 sketches, and six sets of working drawings to create the museum overlooking Central Park.
Wright's last major work, the Guggenheim instantly polarized architecture critics upon completion, though today it is widely revered.
The building underwent an extensive restoration from 2005-2008 which removed the 11 layers of paint that had accumulated over the years to reveal the concrete beneath in order to analyze and preserve the existing structure.

TGV Station, Lyon, France – architect Santiago Calatrava
The Lyon-Satolas Station is the terminus for the TGV trains connecting the airport to the city of Lyon, 30 kilometers to the south. The almost forty meter tall steel and concrete structure refers to the metaphor of a enormous bird with spread out wings. Arriving by car you enter the Main Hall through a "Gateway" formed by a concrete V-shaped abutment that join the ends of four steel arches. The center pair of arches follow the line of the roof to form a spine, the outer curved beams span over two glazed symmetrical concourse wings. In the triangular Main Hall the central spine is formed by three arches braced together by diagonal beams. Two large cantilevered balconies penetrate the space. The adjoining concrete service building is fitted with a steel and glass window wall that overlooks the Main Hall. The spine is supported by a concrete mass on the east and two supports, integrated with lift towers, on the west. The uppermost arch of the spine is a steel box of triangular section while the two lower arches are composed of steel tubes. The cross bracing members vary in size and are assembled four by four along the central tubes. From the Main Hall, where all the station's and airport services are positioned, two vaulted glass and steel concourse wings connect to the train platforms. Cast on site concrete elements support the platform roof and visually complement the roof modules in the main terminal area. The roof is either glazed or filled with prefabricated concrete sections. In the main Hall, opposite the entrance, a 180 meter long Gallery connects the station to the airport terminal. The Gallery can also be accessed directly from the overnight parking area.
Main Hall: length 130 m, max. width 100 m, max. height 39 m. Concourse Hall: length 450 m, width 56 m,Height tracks to raised central walkway 8 m, to roof 17 m
