Fort Lauderdale station is an inter-city rail station located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is served by Brightline, which connects Miami, West Palm Beach, and Orlando International Airport. The station is located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, on NW 2nd Avenue between Broward Boulevard and NW 4th Street, adjacent to the Broward County Transit's Central Terminal.
Construction for the station began in October 2014 with the demolition of existing structures on the site. The complex consists of an elevated concourse above an 800-foot-long (240 m), 35-foot-wide (11 m) island platform for the trains. The station is a modern-style structure with illuminated V-shaped columns supporting the upper concourse, echoing the designs of the Miami and West Palm Beach stations on the line. It was planned and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in association with Zyscovich Architects, and was completed in January 2018.

Excerpt from www.thecounty.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Picton-Herita...:
Picton’s Harbour
The area covers the south and east edges of the Picton’s harbour and runs along Bridge Street. Buildings on the harbour originally served to support industry associated with shipping. As the transportation of goods shifted to land based methods, the once mercantile harbour has evolved to accommodate residential and recreational uses. There is a mix of residential and commercial buildings, as well as open space uses along the harbour. The harbour also functions as a tourist
destination with a boardwalk and docks for recreational boats.
Picton’s harbour has a rich and layered cultural history. Once used as a landing point in a network of aboriginal portage trails, and later informing the development pattern, transportation networks, and industrial and early economic history of Picton and Hallowell, the harbour is central to the cultural heritage of the area.
Up until the early 20th century, the waterfront properties at the head of the harbour were active warehouses with dredged and hardened docking areas for large vessels along the water’s edge. While the dockwalls remain largely intact to this day, all of the warehouse activity is now gone and most of the waterfront properties at the head of the harbour have been redeveloped as private residential and commercial sites.
The existing character of the streetscape within this area, along Bridge Street, is marked by what is no longer there rather than what currently is. The mouth of the harbour where the creek meets the bay was once a bustling intersection as a primary point of arrival and departure for passengers and goods. Streetwall buildings that met Bridge Street and extended towards Top-of-Hill acted as a physical connection of the harbour to the downtown core. Trading activity on the harbour spilled up from the harbour onto Bridge Street and funnelled to the commercial thoroughfare on Main Street. The vibrant streetscape character of the
area was lost with the demolition of the streetwall buildings and replacement with a modern strip mall at 18 Bridge Street.
Nevertheless, the remaining streetwall buildings at Bridge and Union Streets contribute to a terminating view and sense of arrival into the Town as one descends south-westward from the Loyalist Parkway.
Today, local residents and visitors alike are less aware of the harbour than they once were. At present, there is limited public access to the waterfront. A boardwalk provides access to marina slips, evidence of the harbour’s primary function as a
destination and launching point for recreational boating.
Despite its current diminished status, the harbour represents a hidden jewel for Picton, waiting to be re-discovered. The natural topography that defines the harbour basin, and which has continually informed patterns of movement and settlement in the area, remains intact. From the water, a dramatic approach to the
head of the harbour can still be experienced and, at a number of existing overlook points, a dramatic harbour-side townscape is revealed. Re-vitalizing the harbour, and re-connecting the harbour to the town represents a significant opportunity to
improve quality of life for residents and to attract more tourists, contributing to the economic vitality of the town.

All this stuff supports some railroad tracks near the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Mo, USA. Thanks for having a look.

The Christchurch Municipal Chambers has been damaged in all the big earthquakes that hit the City in 2010 and 2011. It has extensive bracing to keep it together. The building has a New Zealand Historic Places Trust Category I status.It will cost double the 5.8 million NZ dollars it was insured for.
We support our police around here, but we also realize that in most cases of assault, they won't be available to protect us and will just be report takers. To my way of thinking, it's incumbent on all of us to always be in a position to protect our homes and families.
I just acquired a new PDW for use in the house. The Sig red dot has a motion sensor that turns it on when the weapon is picked up. I've added a Streamlight since the photo.
ATF considers this Extar 9mm a pistol with a permanently attached brace. Has a 7.5-inch barrel, AR controls, and accepts Glock mags.

Supporting more than 180 species of local and migratory waterbirds and protected under the international Ramsar wetlands preservation treaty, Thale Noi is Thailand’s largest waterfowl reserve. Birdwatchers are joined by flora enthusiasts looking to glide through pink waterlilies that bloom by the thousands. Locals weave grass mats and fish off stilted platforms, adding splashes of culture to this increasingly popular natural attraction.
The marshy, 450-square-kilometre Thale Noi (Small Lake; also spelt Talay) is the northernmost of the bodies of water that make up Thale Sap (Freshwater Lake), also known as Songkhla Lake. Birdlife is most abundant from November to March, when flocks travel here from as far north as Siberia. From February to April, the birds glide above hot-pink waterlilies amid a brilliant sea of colour.
The heron and stork family is prevalent in Thale Noi, with plumed egrets and purple herons fairly easy to spot. Also well-represented are purple swamp hens that show off their stunning blues, greens and indigos while hopping awkardly from one patch of greenery to the next. Rarer species include the bronze-winged jacana, cotton pygmy goose and the brahminy kite, a handsome thing that looks like a smaller cousin of the bald eagle.
My least used class simply because I'm used to reloading after every kill, which is inconvenient when using and LMG. However, nonetheless I loved the design and had to make it. He is equipped with an Ares Shrike 5.56, otherwise known as the AWS in the game, and an M249 on the side. A detail I included last minute was the bungee cord on his belt, made from staples and thread. I sculpted the larger pouch on the vest and the rolled up sleeves, which are the first successful sculpts I've ever made. To amplify the stereotype bulkiness of support, I crowded the vest and put more mass on the legs.
I took KalSkirata's lighting advice and changed up some settings and lighting, definitely a lot nicer turnout. Special thanks to him for that, R.Goff1 for the gloves and smaller pouch on the leg, Cygnet UD for the boot design, Tiny Tactical, CombatBrick, and Minifig.Cat for all their respective parts! This figure would not be possible without those!
Well, there's the second fig in the Battlefield line; Engineer will follow suit. Let me know your thoughts, and as always, expect more, and comment speak louder than faves!

Então eu senti o toque e ao levantar meu rosto vi um a um ficarem a minha volta.
Wrath foi o primeiro. Senti a firmeza e sua força em meu ombro. Meu irmão apesar de todos os problemas que a Irmandade enfrentava naquele momento estava ao meu lado. Em seu olhar que pouco conseguia me focar agora, eu via a compreensão. Ele já havia passado por isso.
James, foi o próximo. Colocou uma cadeira ao meu lado para que Wrath pudesse se sentar e diante de mim colocou a mão sobre o coração junto a cruz que eu sabia que ele sempre carregava consigo, e eu soube que ele rezava por Aine e Aislin.
Will se sentou ao meu lado, quieto. Nem uma palavra ou olhar, mas pude ver a tensão sobre seus ombros. O sempre tão engraçado William estava a seu modo com minhas meninas em pensamento.
Aidan se aproximou e deu um leve sorriso me dizendo que os anjos estavam cuidando das duas a sua maneira. Me senti mais leve ao saber que haviam outras forças olhando por elas.
E aquele que mais me surpreendeu apareceu logo depois. Ren.
Eu não esperava sua presença ali, mas me senti de certa forma grato. Ele ficou me olhando de cima, sem expressão alguma, mas vi a preocupação em seus olhos. Ele viera para leva-las de mim no começo, mas algo havia mudado nas semanas que ele passara no nosso mundo, e mesmo que eu o odiasse, ter uma parte de Hyule comigo me acalmou.
Zsadist ainda não voltara, mas eu podia sentir seus pensamentos sobre mim.
Então fechei meus olhos e pedi para aquela que jurei nunca mais querer ver ou mesmo falar, minha mãe, a Deusa Virgem Escriba, e então a vi diante de mim e pedi, implorei na verdade, que salvasse a vida de Aine e Aislin. Depois de tanto tirar de mim, ela me devia ao menos isso.
E ao abrir meus olhos e me ver rodeado dos meus irmãos, meus amigos, minha Irmandade, minha familia, eu soube que tudo ficaria bem.

Fazer essa foto foi complicada. Juntar todos os meninos da casa (presentes no momento), foi um pequeno desafio.
Mas queria mostrar como o V recebeu apoio nesse momento!
Bom, ontem a noite sofri um pequeno acidente dentro de casa. Fui pra abrir o portão pra minha mãe de madrugada (ela estava voltando da casa do meu avô que fica na mesma rua), e as luzes da sala estavam apagadas, acabei não vendo uma mesinha com vaso de flores que minha mãe colocou bem no meio da sala.
Escuro + Mesa no lugar errado + correndo = DESASTRE.
Por pouco não me quebrei toda... o vaso que me segurou no lugar, mas em compensação estou toda roxa, com as pernas cheia de hematomas e com o joelho cortado por que bati no vaso.
Sério aquela velha historia de o que ta ruim não pode piorar: É MUITO MENTIRA viu? u.u
