I particularly like that image. Maybe it's how the light streams down from the ceiling, maybe it's because it shews the enfilade to good effect; whichever it is it just illustrates the nature of the internal space a lot better than the first-floor image above it. |

Persons intending to travel by open carriage should select a seat with their backs to the engine, by which means they will avoid the ashes emitted therefrom, that in travelling generally, but particularly through the tunnels, prove a great annoyance; the carriage farthest from the engine will in consequence be found the most desirable.

Just realised, if you look up steampunk buildings on google, it will come up with Brassgoggles, and if you look at the link below, it is this thread!

In any case, It's hardly Addams style.
The railings aren't sharp enough. Are these?   This is Stephen King's house. He had those railings commissioned. |

I see no images, Mr. Croft.
I nominate the post-Napoleonic Palmerston Sea Forts in the Solent off Portsmouth, England (Spitbank, St. Helens, Horse Sand & No Man's Land), as well as Guy Mansell's WWII Army Forts in the Thames (Nore, Red Sands & Shivering Sands) and Mersey (which probably also had names.) Maunsell's Thames Navy Forts (Rough Sands, Sunk Head, Tongue Sands & Knock John) might also qualify.

Barton Arcade (Manchester)* *Not the best selection of photos  Cardiff has a number of "proper" Arcades (can't seem to find any decent photos either)

 I sail past them on a fairly regular basis - up close they're stunning, very evocative of the tripods out of the war of the worlds. |

It seems to be just the walkingmelbourne.com images that aren't showing inline for me, although I can paste the URLs into a new window and open them individually. Is anyone else having this problem? |

Von Corax, are any of the pictures I put up good, or are they the wrong type of thing? Just wondering if I need to fuel the boiler and start pumping pure steam into the chamber.

As far as I can tell, all the images are good. It's only the ones hosted at walkingmelbourne.com that don't show up for me, so it's possible that they don't allow their images to be cross-linked or something. |

It's definitely a problem with Walking Melbourne. That's the only one of the above photos that didn't show up immediately for me.
