Another 2 pics of yesterday's building, for my friends here in Flickr who may still be figuring out what and where it is :-)
Found a quiet corner outside Bangkok to grab a bite and take in some great design.

When leaves fall, they undergo decomposition by fungi, bacteria, and invertebrates. Softer tissues are broken down first, while tougher structures such as the leaf veins (xylem and phloem) remain, creating delicate leaf skeletons.
This process is ecologically vital, as it returns nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon to the soil cycle, supporting soil fertility and the functioning of forest ecosystems.
Habana Vieja is being spruced up and renovated and some of the wonderful old buildings look like this. These men were taking a break during work on the building across the street. The old structures have great bones but the years of neglect have taken their toll and much of the city is in a sad state of disrepair.

Standing about 4 metres tall above the water, a safe place to wait for the tides to recede, for pilgrims walking to Lindisfarne, (Holy Island), a tidal island, Northumberland.
The structure seemed sound but it did lean a little:-)
New office building construction in the Vinegar Hill neighborhood of Charlottesville Virginia.
The name "Vinegar Hill" in Charlottesville is said to have originated from one of three stories.
The first story is that the name comes from the Battle of Vinegar Hill, which was a battle in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. The battle took place on a hill called Vinegar Hill, and it was a decisive victory for the rebels. It is believed that some Irish immigrants who settled in Charlottesville named their new neighborhood after the battle.
The second story is that the name comes from the fact that there was once a vinegar factory located in the neighborhood. The factory produced vinegar from apples, and the smell of vinegar was often strong in the neighborhood.
The third story is that the name comes from the fact that the neighborhood was once home to a number of moonshiners. Moonshiners are people who make illegal alcohol, and they often use vinegar as an ingredient in their moonshine. The smell of vinegar was often strong in the neighborhood because of the moonshiners.
Which story is the true origin of the name "Vinegar Hill" is unknown. However, all three stories are plausible, and they all help to explain why the neighborhood was given such a unique name.

The platform is empty here despite it being a busy station and busy time at 6.45pm. The reason is that at Bank Station the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) is a terminus. This platform is for incoming trains and there is another platform for outgoing trains. Everybody has got off the train which has come in and left the platform as the train leaves. There were no problems from the Station Assistant though zooming in a full resolution he definitely had his eyes on me. This shot was taken a couple of London trips ago on 9 March
The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens at 13mm.. Single image processed first in RAW. Noise was reduced using Topaz DeNoise and more detail with Topaz Clarity. More Pop with Topaz Adjust. Brighness/contrast adjustment layer with a layer mask to bring down brightness in the roof lights only. Used the crop tool for better composition but also to straighten by bring the mouse to a corner and dragging to crop at an angle. Clone tool used to remove part of a seat in the bottom left corner.

Root structure of an old tree at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, just north of Half Moon Bay, California.
From my Wild and Weathered Wood collection.
A supervolcano explosion generated these ash flows that eroded into these cone shaped structures resembling (supposedly) pine trees. A supervolcano explosion in this area is the largest explosion known so far, with 5500 cubic kilometer rock ejected, more than five time the size of the Yellowstone explosion. Enough rock and ash to fill the grand canyon.This explosion was one of the smaller ones (as these explosions go).

Balboa Pier, Newport Beach, CA
Newport Beach, CA
The Balboa Pier was constructed in 1906 as a sister project of the Balboa Pavilion. The Newport Bay investment Company wanted to attract lot buyers to an undeveloped spit of sandy land now called the Balboa Peninsula. In order to do so, they built both the Balboa Pavilion and the Balboa Pier. These two structures were built to coincide with the opening of the southern terminus of the Pacific Electric Railway Red Car line from Long Beach to the Balboa Peninsula. The plan worked; multitudes of beachgoers flocked to Balboa, and many purchased lots.
The pier is a popular fishing spot. The fish caught from the pier consist mostly of mackerel and flounder. Additionally, the pilings are home to a large population of starfish that feed on the large colonies of mussels growing there, and are easily spotted at low tide. Fishermen catching starfish by mistake are a relatively common sight.
In the 1980s, the first of Orange County's famous Ruby's Diner restaurants opened on the pier. The 1940s nostalgia-themed restaurant has since become a famous Orange County landmark.

The pier was heavily damaged in the severe El Niño storms of 1998, which also destroyed the famous diamond-shaped Aliso Pier in Laguna Beach. One of the pillars was damaged, causing a partial collapse of one corner. The wooden posts have since been reinforced with steel sheathing and braces to prevent further damage.
