Squid Row, my favorite alley in Santa Cruz. The building at the near end was originally the Enterprise Iron Works; now it's a private residence above with a yoga studio and some small businesses below. At the far end is the Goodwill thrift store.

The octagon building, downtown Santa Cruz. This odd little eight-sided building from the 1880s was the Santa Cruz County Hall of Records until the 1960s and has had several incarnations since, including a museum store and most recently a coffeehouse. I don't know what it's used for at the moment, except every now and then there's a half-finished robot dinosaur out in front.

I love this little building! Oh, it would have made a perfect coffee house! Too bad it’s not any more... (I can picture the Time Stamp Café inside this.)

I'm doing the Monty Python for you: "… and now something completely different:"
When I was at the Historical Museum last Saturday I discovered many beautiful and astonishing things. One of them was this approx 70 square meters map of Frankfurt made completely with recycled materials. The picture I enter the competition with is the first one. In case you wonder why the bridges are hovering so high above: it's that the visitors can walk though the river Main to see both sides of Frankfurt. (All pictures unedited, 6Pod native. Sorry.) The proportions are not really right, I haven't found the MMK1 for instance, but it's a great puzzle that the artist(s) done here.

And these additional pictures are just for explanation and to show you some details to open your eyes for a really artsy and brilliant way to built a map:

The airport

The industrial territory (probably Höchst)

View attachment 105442

The golf course

View attachment 105443

A farther cut out, where the skyscrapers (mostly banks) are is it close to the inner city

View attachment 105444

The inner city, I put up some names of buildings you might know from my stories. And at the end of the line of the Historical Museum you can see where we are with this picture (text with This)

View attachment 105445

And last a close up to the skyscrapers and you see front one left is made of roller pens and pencils, the one behind Of layered casino chips, right of this is one of a yardstick, and the far right is an old mobile! The little green and gold building is the Old Opera.

Should give you an idea from my hometown through my hometown within my hometown of my hometown.

5th Avenue, New York City

I haven’t hung out in the city in awhile so I had to dig this out of the vaults... re-edit with Snapseed & Instagram.

Walnut Street, downtown Santa Cruz, a one block area of restored homes from 1870 to 1900 or thereabouts. Most have been divided into flats, but a few are still single family homes. I wish I could have gotten a wider view, but the other side of the street was blocked off for construction. Maybe later in the week.

Beautiful! And it looks so similar to neighboring Hightstown, NJ.
