Windows in the historic building, the former power plant of the Karol Scheibler Joint-Stock Company in Łódź. Built in 1910–1911, according to the design of Latvian architect Alfred Frisch. The building stands on the site of the former Scheibler textile mill, which is currently being transformed into the new city center -Fuzja..
The building is the oldest reinforced concrete industrial structure with a frame structure within the Kingdom of Poland.
Thank you all for visits, comments & faves :)
I found this little dying succulent and planted it in a pot painted by my son when he was little. This succulent has now taken on a whole new life.
One of our many Saturday afternoons out in the latter half of the 1980s took us to the Staffordshire town of Rugeley. The locality was principally served by Midland Red North at the time, they having acquired the original (Wheildon's) 'Green Bus Service' based in the town during the 1970s. By the time of our visit however, a 'new' independent by the name of 'Key Coachways' had commenced operations there.
The small fleet contained some interesting tackle, principal of which on this particular day was this ex SBG Alexander 'Y Type' bodied Albion Viking MWG 486F which would have been approaching its 20th birthday.
The Viking VK43L was a rear engined chassis featuring Leyland's upright 400 diesel. After a quick photo (on some crumby 400 ASA grainy film here), we found ouselves 'compelled' to go for a ride on it, and I recall that to accomodate the offside rear emergency door of the 'Y Type', the adjoining seating arrangement was a little odd at the back end.
I can never get to grips with the various Rugeley area operators of this era as they seemed to come and go and to morph into other things. Did Key Coachways later become Blue Bus Services?

These windows are above the door to my office building, Nice to work where there are so many beautiful details.
I have to finish the Lovely Bones, a book I am reading for english, and do a project by the end of today that is due tomorrow. I've got about 40 more pages and haven't even started my project! Gosh, I really hate school sometimes... On a happier note, it's my little sister's birthday! She is 8 years old today.
Through The Window
I’ve always been drawn to the windows at Fort Langley National Historic Site.
Today, standing inside the cooperage and looking out into the courtyard within the fort walls, I can’t help but imagine someone doing the same thing nearly 200 years ago. Perhaps a cooper pausing from his work, or a clerk watching the yard. Someone waiting for a boat on the river.
These lanterns hang quietly now, catching the light instead of casting it. In black and white, the scene feels closer to the past. The distractions of colour fall away and what’s left is light, shadow, wood, glass.
I’m not trying to recreate history exactly. I just like to photograph it in a way that feels like it could have been seen back then. As if the window is still doing what it has always done, framing the world for whoever stands here.
Maybe that’s why I love these places so much. They let us look out and look back at the same time.

(Fountains Abbey) I did a version without the chairs too, but prefered this one. Oh, and it really was this yellow.
There's something I've discovered about "Cliche Shots" - they've become cliche for a reason. The reason this shot of Turret Arch through the North Window has been taken thousands of times is it's damn beautiful! I absolutely love tromping through the backcountry in relatively unknown places to try to find a truly unique shot, even if I come back with nothing the adventure is really fun. But sometimes it's cool to just get out of the car, walk a mile or so, stand in a certain spot at a certain time and take a picture - unless the light/sky are just awful you know you'll get pretty good results. This is one of those shots.
Arches Nat'l Park in the winter time is one the the most magical places I've seen. The snow really adds a lot to the scenery and the park is pretty close to empty. The daytime highs are usually in the 30's, but when you're hiking in the sun on sandstone that feels like at least 50. The nights are quite cold (15-20) but unless you're out camping (like I was) why would you care? You're bellied up to the bar or snug in your hotel room. I stayed warm with huge campfires and really good winter camping equipment. The winter definitely beats fighting the summer crowds and trying to survive the sweltering July heat - just a suggestion.
