Designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, One Thousand Museum was Zaha Hadid's first residential tower in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the final projects designed by Hadid in her lifetime. It was designed in association with O’Donnell Dannwolf Partners Architects, a local architecture firm.
A notable feature of the building is the curving exoskeleton, allowing the interior space to have fewer columns. The exoskeleton is composed of 5,000 pieces of glass fiber reinforced concrete. These pieces were shipped from Dubai early in the construction process. The exoskeleton is located in front of a glass facade.
Excerpt from www.niagarafallstourism.com:
Cham Shan Temple (Ten Thousand Buddas)- The 7 level Asian style building contains precious collections of Buddhist arts and artifacts. A "World Peace Ten Thousand Buddhas Sarira Stupa Temple" has been constructed on 3 acres of land in Niagara Falls in order to facilitate the expounding of Dharma and the propagation of Buddhism. Spreading the Dharma and benefitting all sentiment beings are the Buddhist Order's vows. Since the appearances of statues and stupas facilitate the generation of the Bodhi-mind, raising temples could benefit sentient beings in countless multitudes. Canada is renowned for its serene and picturesque environment. A Bronze Buddha Statue and a Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara's statue are situated in this property so numerous tourists and devotees can cherish this great chance to make offerings and pay homage to the Buddha.
I spent two nights here, and on the second evening, after thunderstorms for much of the day, the clouds perfectly aligned to produce beautiful colors over Mt. Banner.
A Musk Ox beside the Dalton Highway lets us know it’s time to leave and move on. Quite the look he gave us. Deadhorse, Alaska.

California's Mossbrae Falls is almost like the shorter cousin of Burney Falls, though it is no less beautiful. Thin drips of water just seems to ooze out of the moss and vegetation covered rock wall and into the creek that parallels the waterfall. The composition here isn't very obvious at first glance, as the waterfall is quite broad. One approach is to take detail shots of the beautiful drips of water. Here I decided to do a vertical composition to include the creek rushing down to meet the falls.

The Thousand Islands is a picturesque archipelago located in the St. Lawrence River, straddling the border between northern New York State (USA) and southeastern Ontario (Canada). It consists of 1,864 islands, from small rocky outcrops to larger inhabited ones. On the Canadian side, the Thousand Islands stretch for about 80 km (50 miles) downstream from Kingston to Brockville, Ontario. On the U.S. side, islands stretch from Jefferson County and St. Lawrence County upstream to Alexandria Bay, New York. The American region along the river has a much less dense population compared to Ontario, Canada. The whole Thousand Islands region is of natural beauty, history and recreational opportunities. Many islands feature historic landmarks, including castles, lighthouses, and mansions.

Les Mille-Îles sont un archipel pittoresque situé dans le fleuve Saint-Laurent, à cheval sur la frontière entre le nord de l'État de New York (États-Unis) et le sud-est de l'Ontario (Canada). Il se compose de 1 864 îles, des petits affleurements rocheux aux plus grandes îles habitées. Du côté canadien, les Mille-Îles s'étendent sur environ 80 km (50 miles) en aval de Kingston à Brockville, en Ontario. Du côté américain, les îles s'étendent du comté de Jefferson et du comté de Saint-Laurent en amont jusqu'à la baie d'Alexandria, dans l'État de New York. La région américaine le long du fleuve a une population beaucoup moins dense que l'Ontario, au Canada. Toute la région des Mille-Îles est d'une beauté naturelle, historique et offre des possibilités de loisirs. De nombreuses îles abritent des monuments historiques, notamment des châteaux, des phares et des manoirs.

Part of what is so intriguing about photography is the unique way that different exposures can fundamentally change scenes. This, for example, was the purposeful underexposure of a scene for a series of bracketed shots. But the heightened drama by imperfections in the lighting (dark, moody shadows, heavy vignette) made the image particularly stunning to me.

One Thousand Museum is a high-rise residential condominium in Miami. The building, which is located at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard, was designed Zaha Hadid Architects. Completed in 2019, One Thousand Museum is 215 m tall.
Under a warm July sun, Saluda, North Carolina hosted its 62nd annual Coon Dog Day on Saturday, July 12, 2025. The festival, a staple in this small mountain town, drew thousands of visitors throughout the day and into the night. What began decades ago as a simple gathering organized by the Blue Ridge Coon Dog Association has grown into a full-day celebration of local culture, coonhounds, and Appalachian tradition—while still maintaining a strong community feel.
The day kicked off at 8 a.m. with a 5K run and a separate fun run, both of which were fundraisers for the local school. Runners gathered at McCreery Park and made their way down Main Street, passing through the heart of Saluda. Despite the rising heat, turnout was solid. The event was chip-timed and open to anyone, with many participants returning year after year more for the tradition than competition.
After the race, Main Street quickly filled up. Dozens of vendors lined the sidewalks, setting up tents under the shade of trees and awnings. Food trucks and booths served regional staples—barbecue, cornbread, fried snacks, sweet tea. Other vendors sold handmade goods, woodcrafts, soap, antiques, dog gear, and Coon Dog Day merchandise. The crowd moved steadily, stopping to browse or chat with friends and neighbors. Music played on speakers around the park and stage area, creating a low background hum that never really stopped.
By 11 a.m., the parade began. People lined both sides of Main Street early to get a good view, setting up chairs or standing behind temporary barricades. Leading the procession were fire trucks and emergency vehicles from local departments, followed by restored antique cars and tractors. Then came the homemade floats—some built by local businesses, others by clubs or longtime residents. The highlight for many was seeing the coonhounds walk through with their handlers. Black-and-tans, redbones, blueticks, walkers—all breeds were represented. The dogs wore bandanas, collars, or harnesses, and some even matched their owners’ outfits. For a town that honors these dogs year after year, this moment was a simple but meaningful nod to the breed's importance in the region’s hunting and working history.
On a night walk in Belize our flashlights reflected hundreds of thousands of differently sized glowing jewel-like dots on the ground, on trees and all around us. Spiders’ eyes! This one looked like a huge sparkling diamond brooch. When we looked closer we saw it was a Wolf Spider carrying hundreds of babies on her back. The only species of spider known to do this.

Trivia: Is there a connection between the Thousand Islands and the salad by that name? Yes!
The history of the dressing dates back to the early days of the century and centers in the small resort village of Clayton, N.Y. In those days a popular fishing guide named George LaLonde, Jr., as his father before him, guided visiting fishermen for black bass and northern pike through the scenic, fish-filled waters of the 1000 Islands.
Unlike his father, George Jr. would serve a different and unusual salad dressing to his fishing parties as part of their shore dinners. On one particular occasion George was guiding a very prominent New York City stage actress of the period named May Irwin and her husband. Miss Irwin, a renowned cook and cookbook authoress in her own right, was particularly impressed with the dressing and asked George for the recipe. The dressing was actually created and made by George's wife Sophia, who was flattered by the request and willingly gave the recipe to Miss Irwin. At the same time Mrs. LaLonde gave the recipe to Mrs. Ella Bertrand, who's family owned the Herald Hotel, one of the most popular hotels in Clayton and where Miss Irwin and her husband stayed during their early vacations in the islands. Mrs. Bertrand prepared the dressing for Miss Irwin and her husband and also added it to the other choices of salad dressing offered to her dining room customers.
It was Miss Irwin who gave it the name "Thousand Island" and it was Mrs. Bertrand, at the Herald Hotel, who first served it to the dining public. Upon her return to New York City Miss Irwin gave the recipe to fellow 1000 Islands summer visitor George C. Boldt, owner of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, the Bellview Stratford in Philadelphia and also the builder of Boldt Castle on nearby Heart Island. Equally impressed with its flavor, Mr. Boldt directed his world famous maitre d' Oscar Tschirky, to put this dressing from the 1000 Islands on the hotel's menu at once. In doing so Oscar earned credit for introducing the dressing to the "world."

Having an incredible amount of reach allows you to do some unique things with a lens. Zooming in on the moon as it rises is one of them. In this shot I've shot the moon at 600mm and cropped in a little over 50%, meaning that this is more like 1300mm of reach. I've got some cool shots of the moon in full light, but I wanted to share this more moody shots where layers of clouds are drifting in front of the moon. I've given this shot a little bit of a faded look in Exposure X2 to enhance the mood. It was still very yellow at this point, and I've tried to preserve that here. You can see more images that I've taken with the lens here: bit.ly/2dU7diG or view my first look video here: bit.ly/2dn7bBP

A thousand-year-old tradition dating back to the Heian period, this Shinto ritual seeks to pacify the spirit of Sugawara no Michizane by delivering the message of his exoneration. The climax arrives when the doors of Houfu Tenmangu Shrine swing open, unleashing a torrent of white-clad men, the "hadakabō," who storm the hall. The spectacle of the massive, 500-kilogram oajirokoshi palanquin careening down the steps is nothing short of breathtaking. This is one of western Japan's most exhilarating and chaotic festivals.
My first attempt at printing this one, it wasn't straitforward. The man on the right required half the exposure of the man on the left, the edge of the door frame was quite convenient though for dodging.
The adult butterfly is easily recognised by its dark brown wings that are spotted white along the margins. The male's forewing has a bow-shaped hind margin, while the female's is straight.
The Common Crow Butterfly is found in Queensland and northern New South Wales, and also occurs across northern Australia as far west as Onslow in Western Australia. It has on occasion extended its range as far south as Victoria, and pupae have been found in Cootamundra and Kandos, New South Wales, which are west of the Great Dividing Range. It has been found in Alice Springs, Adelaide and Lord Howe Island. It has also been common at times in Sydney (1947-48; 1954-55 and more recently).
Adult Common Crow Butterflies overwinter together for protection in large aggregations of one to two thousand butterflies. The butterflies go into a dormant state in which they live on their fat reserves and nearby nectar sources until warmer weather returns. These aggregations occur in sheltered coastal sites and on offshore islands in the tropics and subtropics of northern and eastern Australia.
The Common Crow Butterfly has a strong scent that may allow predators to identify it as inedible. It also produces (from chemicals in its food plants) toxins so strong that eating just one butterfly may induce a bird to vomit. However, not all birds are sensitive to the toxins, and common invertebrate predators and parasites such as spiders, dragonflies, flies and wasps suffer no ill effects from eating these butterflies.
The adult butterfly has a life span of 11 - 13 weeks. The adults feed upon nectar from various flowering plants, including eucalypts.
