The Puyallup Fair (a.k.a. the Western Washington Fair) is in terms of gate admissions the largest fair west of the Mississippi and the fourth (4th) largest fair in the nation. Held annually in the month of September (in Puyallup, Washington), it features a variety of carnival rides such as the ones photographed here. Even though I had my tripod with me this image was captured with a hand-held DSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera set at ISO 100 and f/22 using a wide-angle zoom lens (12 to 24).

We enjoyed our first breakfast in the comfort of the outdoor shade
structure this morning. We did have a last minute rebar bending party
to secure our cloth mounts, but that was it. The rest worked out just
as planned.
Bolsover Castle is in the town of Bolsover, (grid reference SK471707), in the north-east of the English county of Derbyshire. Built in the early 17th century, the present castle lies on the earthworks and ruins of the 12th-century medieval castle; the first structure of the present castle was built between 1612 and 1617 by Sir Charles Cavendish.

The site is now in the care of the English Heritage charity, as both a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Medieval History
The original castle was built by the Peverel family in the 12th century and became Crown property in 1155 when William Peverel the Younger died. The Ferrers family who were Earls of Derby laid claim to the Peveril property.
When a group of barons led by King Henry II's sons – Henry the Young King, Geoffrey Duke of Brittany, and Prince Richard, later Richard the Lionheart – revolted against the king's rule, Henry spent £116 on building at the castles of Bolsover and Peveril in Derbyshire. The garrison was increased to a force led by 20 knights and was shared with the castles of Peveril and Nottingham during the revolt. King John ascended the throne in 1199 after his brother Richard's death. William de Ferrers maintained the claim of the Earls of Derby to the Peveril estates. He paid John 2000 marks for the lordship of the Peak, but the Crown retained possession of Bolsover and Peveril Castles. John finally gave them to Ferrers in 1216 to secure his support in the face of country-wide rebellion. However, the castellan Brian de Lisle refused to hand them over. Although Lisle and Ferrers were both John's supporters, John gave Ferrers permission to use force to take the castles. The situation was still chaotic when Henry III became king after his father's death in 1216. Bolsover fell to Ferrers' forces in 1217 after a siege.
The castle was returned to crown control in 1223, at which point £33 was spent on repairing the damage the Earl of Derby had caused when capturing the castle six years earlier. Over the next 20 years, four towers were added, the keep was repaired, various parts of the curtain wall were repaired, and a kitchen and barn were built, all at a cost of £181. From 1290 onward, the castle and its surrounding manor were granted to a series of local farmers. Under their custodianship, the castle gradually fell into a state of disrepair.
Post-medieval
Bolsover castle was granted to George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, by King Edward VI in 1553. Following Shrewsbury’s death in 1590, his son Gilbert, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury, sold the ruins of Bolsover Castle to his step-brother and brother-in-law Sir Charles Cavendish, who wanted to build a new castle on the site. Working with the famous builder and designer Robert Smythson, Cavendish’s castle was designed for elegant living rather than defence, and was unfinished at the time of the two men’s deaths, in 1614 and 1617 respectively. Accounts survive for building the early stages of the "Little Castle." Unusually for this period female labour was recorded, and the women's names or husband's names are given.
The building of the castle was continued by Cavendish’s two sons, William and John, who were influenced by the Italian-inspired work of the architect Inigo Jones. The tower, known today as the 'Little Castle', was completed around 1621. Construction was interrupted by the Civil Wars of 1642 to 1651, during which the castle was taken by the Parliamentarians, who slighted it, when it fell into a ruinous state. William Cavendish, who was created Marquess of Newcastle in 1643 and Duke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1665, added a new hall and staterooms to the Terrace Range, and by the time of his death in 1676 the castle had been restored to good order. The main usage of the building extended over twenty years, and it is presumed that the family lived at the castle towards the end of that period. It then passed through Margaret Bentinck, Duchess of Portland into the Bentinck family, and ultimately became one of the seats of the Earls and Dukes of Portland. After 1883, the castle was uninhabited, and in 1945 it was given to the nation by the 7th Duke of Portland. The castle is now in the care of English Heritage.
Bolsover Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument a "nationally important" historic building and archaeological site which has been given protection against unauthorised change. It is also a Grade I listed building (first listed in 1985) and recognised as an internationally important structure.
I thought as the weather wasn't great for taking shots of the entire observation dish I'd try & get some interesting shots of the structure?
Mechabrick was recently funded through Kickstarter. I've been busy designing vehicles and structures for potential use with the game.
Two structures that can be found in Neon City. One a simple apartment complex, with two penthouses on the top floor. The other is a tower run by a wealthy criminal organization who isn't afraid to flaunt their wealth and power.

This structure necklace will make a statement and will enhance any look! It’s made out of recycled card boar which I coated with latex to make it water repellent (not waterproof) and then added some coats of gold leaf paper and linen in a stone beige colour, all sealed with a leather cord in a natural colour, it holds from a golden metal chain and it has a very easy to put and take off closure plus an extension chain to fit different neck sizes.
This is a short necklace and It’s very light.
Check my profile to see where you can find this and many more goodies!!

A little further down the road I came to the railroad crossing at Alpine. This interesting structure appears to be a cistern of sorts. It could have been built by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad which is the progenitor of the CSXT that currently is the name of the corporation. This location is at a creek where it empties into the James River, and the structure was apparently a water storage facility. More on that in another photo.
I didn't bother to change the camera from Bright Sunshine to Shade as I felt there was enough light to overcome the color cast that comes with the shadows. It's close, but nothing to really complain about.
No Corrections.
Trying to find a structure like "Strange Fruit"
I really like the lighting and background gradient in this one.

Started off as wooden structure that was burned off one night only to turn into a steel fiery structure.
Unknown abandoned structure, possibly old East Nicolaus High School campus, East Nicolaus, Sutter County, California.
Not much information is available for this location, from research it appears that this structure and the surrounding properties may have been part of the East Nicolaus High School prior to a large grass fire burned it beyond repair in 1964 (some references say the fire took place in 1960).

Facade detail of the Ames Building of 1893 (1 Court Street Boston MA). It was Boston's 1st skyscraper at 14 stories. The 2nd tallest masonary bearing load structure in the world.
Desgned by the architectural firm of Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. I remember studying it in architecture school.

Shatterconed sandstone in Ontario, Canada.
Shattercones are striated conical structures in rocks formed by a powerful shock wave or pressure front moving through during an impact event. They have a three-dimensional cone-like structure, with the points of the cones directed toward the shock wave origination site. Undisturbed shatterconed rocks will have the apex of the cones pointing toward the direction of the incoming object (i.e., upward - toward space).
The host rocks here consist of ~2.3 to 2.4 billion year old fluvial sandstones of the Mississagi Formation. Notice that the shattercones are pointing downward, indicating that the impact event also overturned the beds.
This outcrop is in the Sudbury Impact Structure, the site for one of the largest impact events in Earth history. The impact structure, located in southeastern Ontario, is ovoid in shape, about 37 miles long by 19 miles wide. It was originally ~circular, but has since been laterally compressed by tectonic deformation. Before erosion and structural deformation, the structure may have been between 60 and 120 miles across. The impacting object is estimated to have been about 6 miles in size. The impact event itself occurred at 1.85 billion years ago. At that time, this part of Ontario was ocean. Computer modeling indicates that the splash wave generated by the Sudbury Impact may have reached about 30 miles high and generated a ~300 feet high megatsunami that radiated away from the target area for up to ~1800 miles. The impact punched a hole down into underlying mantle rocks.
Abundant evidence indicates that the Sudbury, Ontario area was indeed the site of an impact long ago. This includes impact breccias, shattercones, and extensive syn-formational sulfide mineralization. The sulfides are rich enough for mining to occur. In fact, the Sudbury Mining District targets the # 1 most productive nickel deposit on Earth.

4/25/2017- LAFD responded to a reported structure fire near the intersection of pleasant ave. and las vegas street to find a large Victorian style structure well involved on the second floor. Crews immediately gained access to the structure and knocked the bulk of the fire down in approximately 10 minutes. One solo occupant was living inside the vacant home and was not injured.
