An inbound New Haven Line train crosses the Saugatuck River Railroad Bridge in Westport, CT. The bridge features a pedestrian walkway, which affords some very neat views of the infrastructure and trains. Note here how the employee crossing on the bridge is supported by old rail sections!

Detail of a blue metal building at the Mare Island Naval Ship Yard.
I was at the historic Mare Island Naval Ship Yard to spend the evening doing night photography with my friends from the original Nocturnes group, and I had arrived well before sunset. After meeting up in the Mare Island Museum for pizza and conversation we realized that the end of the day was coming. I went outside about a half hour before sunset, and I thought of some old industrial buildings that I had passed on the way in. Instead of staying where I was and starting my typical routine of wandering on foot with my gear I decided to take short drive back to those buildings and see if I could make a few quick photographs in the end-of-day light.
I soon arrived and made a few photographs in golden hour light, but the sun quickly dropped below the horizon and I was left with that post-sunset glow. This light can be quite warm if clouds reflect some of the remaining red, yellow, and orange tones of sunset, but if the sky is clear what remains is the intense blue of early twilight. The latter light is what evolved, and I soon moved back to this unusual structure whose blue paint's color was even more intensified by this twilight illumination.

Falkland Town Hall is a municipal building in the High Street, Falkland, Fife, Scotland. The structure, which has been converted for use as offices and as shops, is a Category A listed building.
The first municipal building in the town was an old tolbooth which dated back to the 17th century. By the late 18th century, it was in a dilapidated condition and the burgh leaders, who also had ambitions for a new school, decided to demolish the old tolbooth and to erect a new town hall, which would also accommodate the school, on the same site. The new building was designed by Thomas Barclay of Balbirnie in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1801.
The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing onto the High Street; the central bay, which slightly projected forward, featured a square headed doorway enclosed by a round headed arch with voussoirs; there was a tri-partite mullioned window on the first floor and a pediment with the burgh coat of arms in the tympanum above. The outer bays were fenestrated by round headed sash windows on the ground floor and square headed sash windows on the first floor, and there were balustrades under each of the first-floor windows. The eastern elevation, facing onto Back Wynd, was designed in a similar style but, in the outer bays, the first-floor windows were blind, and, above the central pediment, there was a square tower which was surmounted by an octagonal belfry, a spire and a weather vane. Internally, the principal rooms were the classroom on the ground floor and the burgh council chamber on the first floor. The council chamber contained some fine decorative plasterwork. The bell, which had been cast by a Dutch foundryman, Michael Burgerhuys of Middelburg, in 1630 was recovered from the old tolbooth and a clock was designed and manufactured by James Ritchie & Son and installed in the tower in 1858.
The town clerk, Charles Gulland, and other council officers relocated to Bank House, on the opposite side of Back Wynd, in around 1900. The building continued to serve as the meeting place of the burgh council for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged North-East Fife District Council was formed in 1975. The first floor of the building was subsequently converted for commercial use and the ground floor, after being used as a post office, was converted for use as a shop.
In 2016, the town hall was used to depict the Inverness County Records Office when it appeared in the television series, Outlander. Info: Wikipedia

There where few outdoor structures, which included this one! Long grass roots where growing from every crack in the concrete surface!
An old Warehouse in Copenhagen, Denmark, converted into the Admiral Hotel.
Set in a heritage-listed 1780s building, this waterfront hotel is next to Amalienborg Royal Palace and opposite Copenhagen Opera House.
Two hundred-year-old Pomeranian pine beams, brickwork and archways add a distinct charm to Copenhagen Admiral.
The gourmet restaurant, Salt, is designed by Conran & Partners.
Within 5 minutes' walk is Nyhavn, where Copenhagen Harbour's water buses stop. Kongens Nytorv Metro Station is a similar distance from Copenhagen Admiral Hotel. Strøget shopping street is less than 10 minutes' walk away.
There was a small gap of 1-2 mm between both upper hull sections. So I made little modification to the structure to get rid of it. Initially I wanted to do that with towball elements but it did not work so I implemented the same solution as my Executor.
Along with this, a few others minor changes:
- The Leg Mechanical, Droid with Technic Pin is too rare in light bluish grey, so I modified the model to have the dark bluish grey version.
- I added 2 tiles with grille on the underside hull to strenghen the back edge
- I removed both 1/2 pins from the Tantive IV and fitted directly on the stand
- I changed the stand a bit so that the model is perfectly horizontal when standing (without new parts).
Building instructions and .ldr file available freely here. I strongly advise to have a look at it before doing anything.
Credits inside the building instructions. Enjoy!
Minor design changes may occur during the life of the MOC. When implemented, I make a new post in the album as soon as the building instructions are updated and available (the .zip file will indicate the date of the revision)
