Just returned home from last weeks Chicago visit. Still a bit suffering jetlag and some blisters on my feet, but overall, a great week and also overall fortunable weather with all included. This one is showing the Chicago board of trade at the end of Lasalle Street, taken from the bridge with that same name. All have a great start into this new week. Thanks, Udo.

The Sphere, originally called Große Kugelkaryatide ("the great spherical caryatid"), is a monumental metal sculpture created by the German sculptor Fritz Koenig and now located at Liberty Park in the World Trade Center, in Manhattan. It once stood in the middle of Austin J. Tobin Plaza, the square at the foot of the World Trade Center twin towers, and then in Battery Park on a temporary basis.
This photograph of Gambir Street, Kuching, taken in September 2024, captures a historic enclave where heritage whispers through the weathered shophouses and narrow alleyways. Once the beating heart of Kuching’s trade scene during the Brooke era, Gambir Street stands as a testament to its multicultural past, where Indian Muslim and Chinese merchants traded goods with local Sarawakian natives.
At the center of the frame lies the historic Masjid India (Masjid Bandar Kuching), established in 1834. Revered as Sarawak's oldest mosque, it served the Indian Muslim community—merchants and laborers who migrated here, leaving an indelible mark on Kuching’s identity. The mosque, nestled amidst a labyrinth of shophouses, reflects the quiet strength of faith and commerce that shaped this vibrant neighborhood.
The shophouses lining the street are architectural relics, their wooden shutters and aging facades bearing witness to over a century of trade. These buildings once housed bustling shops selling spices, textiles, and traditional goods—commodities that drew traders from far and wide. Streets like Gambir Road, and connecting lanes such as the iconic Indian Mosque Lane (Lorong Sempit), allowed shoppers and traders alike to weave through a sensory mosaic of aromatic spices, brilliant colors, and cultural exchanges.
Historically, this area was Kuching’s spice trade center, where goods like turmeric, curry leaves, and exotic ingredients filled the air with fragrance. It also served as a link to India Street, previously called Kling Street in the 1850s and renamed in 1928 by Charles Vyner Brooke, to honor its Indian traders. Here, commerce and community flourished side by side, with medicine men, shopkeepers, and merchants creating a hub of life and culture that remains alive to this day.
This photograph preserves more than a visual—it freezes time, offering a poignant reflection of Kuching’s soul. Gambir Street, with its architectural elegance and enduring legacy, continues to tell stories of trade, community, and multicultural harmony. It is a living museum where history, faith, and culture come together, offering an intimate glimpse into Kuching’s rich past.
Last Autumn we watched our favorite tree slip on a yellow sweater while standing in the green field. Yesterday we noticed they had cleverly traded colors for this late Summer afternoon.

Market Day stalls and end of trading for the day. This is my home town of Newcastle-under-Lyme. Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre (traffic free zone) hosts a market on six days a week and operates from 9am to 4pm each day selling a wide range of goods. From 1871 there was a cattle market too, housed in the Smithfield
Cattle Market. But sadly that moved out of town to the outskirts of the town of Market Drayton some years ago, more space required.
49. A Civic/Government/Public Building - 117/2017
Market and Guild Hall info from BBC - Domesday Reloaded.
The first market place was in Upper
Green now the A34 Road. This moved to
the High Street about 1280. The whole of
the present High Street would have been
a Large Market place. In 1203 the
original Sunday Market was moved to
Saturday, then to Monday in 1590. In the
early 19th century, Saturday became a 2nd
market day and later Friday a 3rd. In
1853 the first covered market was built
to supplement the portable street
market and to offer a halfway house
between shop and stall. This was
replaced in 1963 by a more up-to-date
covered market.
Guildhall
Newcastle Guildhall was built by an
employers association in about 1235. It
was then that Henry III recognised that
Newcastle was more than an ordinary
market town and so granted the Townsman
the right to form a Guild Merchant. They
quickly became the most powerful
force, both economically and
politically, in Newcastle. Later on when
a town council emerged to administer
the town the Guild became less
important, but in a continuing memorial
the Town Councils meeting place has
continued to be called a Guildhall
rather than a Town Hall. The Guildhall
today, which is a little to the south
of the original site, is used for many
functions. Various organisations hire it
for many things from Jumble Sales to
plays. Whatever its many uses today it
is still a beautiful building which
dominates the Newcastle Market Square.
The Twin Arrows trading post is colorful outside, but trashed inside. This view for Window Wednesday was found along old Route 66 in northern Arizona. HWW
I am going to sell or trade the left Sweet Heart Yasmin and one of the Strut It Yasmin's. I think it will probably be the left one, but I could change my mind ;P
If you have an offer, go for it!! But don't be insulted if I refuse, lol.
The Poertland Trading Post is packed with odds and ends from all around the floating worlds. Airships come from far and wide to trade goods, services, and stories.

This MOC was built in a week between the end of a summer internship and the beginning of Brickfair. It was about 80% complete when I packed it up, it arrived 30% complete. Much time at Brickfair was spent building this, and some parts needed to complete it were bought at Brickfair.
It was built to be part of the Floating Rocks Of Asgard display, put together by Nathaniel.
Evan did the fabulous mist and background editing, he's awesome.
Look at this gorgeous fairytale themed swap! Everything is kawaii fairytale, even the little eraser and pencil! Thank you so much, Linda, especially for the Wolf tofu! It matches my darling Red Riding Hood one from Darlene =) And the Alice in Wonderland memo has been on my wishlist for a while, I'm happy to finally have it!

A nice and colourful Fokker 100 of Trade Air at Schiphol Airport. We'll be seeing this beauty more often this summer season.
Here's a Trade Federation ISW (Infantry Support Walker) concept I came up with during summer break.
Bears the resemblance of a schwimmwagen with the legs of a crab droid. Favorite part of the tank was using pneumatic hose to fill in any gaps.
Thanks for looking!
Canada’s First Railway Tunnel was completed in 1860 for the Brockville and Ottawa Railway and later owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway until being acquired by the City of Brockville in 1983. The Tunnel is a remarkable example of Canada’s pre-Confederation industrial heritage that this restoration project will repurpose for the benefit of recreation, tourism and economic development. Key features of the Tunnel restoration include a new paved concrete floor and state-of-the-art energy efficient lighting for safety and to highlight the Tunnel’s architecture and geology.
The Brockville Railway Tunnel is Canada's first railway tunnel. It is located beneath the city of Brockville, Ontario and passes under the building to the north, built in 1863-64 as the Victoria Hall, but remodelled as the Brockville City Hall after 1904.
The tunnel runs in a north/south direction from Water Street, for a distance of 527 m (1,730 ft). It was built by the Brockville and Ottawa Railway. Construction on the tunnel began in September 1854, but was not opened for rail traffic until December 31, 1860. The tunnel was designed to provide a rail link from the timber trade of the Ottawa Valley to the Brockville port facilities on the St. Lawrence River.
Brockville, formerly Elizabethtown, is a city in Eastern Ontario, Canada in the Thousand Islands region. Although it is the seat of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, it is politically independent of the county.
