I live in Seattle's Chinatown (aka The International District). Maynard Alley is approximately 1 1/2 blocks from my home. Read on for a fascinating story...

Alleys are lovely~
Let's have some from various places, bonus points for low lighting and night time.

Here's an alley in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan

I do have more photos but I shall be starting a new thread to display them. Once you read the thread, you will understand why these particular shots belong in a separate thread.

Also funny thing. If you look at OPs pic then go look at kowloon walled city on googlemaps/earth you will see all those surrounding buildings are all still there, albeit with plenty more trees!

Thanks. Finally picked up a copy and wasn't cheap.

On a related note, I need to see about getting my Zones of Exclusion scanned.

Never been, but how much I want to! I just went through Flickr to get these, so sorry if I can't provide any info on the area, it should be easy enough to find the images again there if you're really curious!

Impressive.

Those HDR shots are sickeningly rich, I wish people would stop using it. I reckon it makes the photo shit.

Those meandering asphalt streets look like they would be fun to skate on. Just skating through the city, depending on how rough the surfaces actually are, might need a long board of some description.

I've been twice, once in 2005, then again in 2008. The beauty of the city is so striking after living near London. And at night, if you find a good vantage point, you can watch the hundred aircraft warning lights slowly pulse above the street-lights and neon. I pretty much sat there with my DSLR for hours in total across my second stay. I know a little-known observation deck where you can look toward Tokyo Tower, across to Shinjuku, and then spin around and see the bay with the giant Ferris wheel's light-show floating above the reflections on the water. Immense.

I believe this happened when a US bomber flew into the skyscraper during fog. Didn't down the building, just minor damage. If only they had made them like they used too.

It does, but if you're at standard speeds(0-5000 m/s), you don't have to account for the change in force that a certain velocity has. You can find the actual equations in the Wikipedia page for Special Relativity.

However, energy does have a use for velocity. Simply put, the sum of the energies of an initial state is equal to the sum of the energies of a final state. An objects(non-relative) kineticl energy is .5mv^2=K, while the work done to slow/stop the plane is the integral of the Force in respect to the distance. Then you have some energy going into heat/other energies. So, assuming it starts with an initial v=0, and starts slowing at a distance d=0, you end up with(when simplified as [initial]=[final]:

.5mv(final)^2=integral(ma)+"lost energy"
(and remember, the acceleration is going to to need to be approximated by a function) From there, you can solve for the force(F=ma) the plane imposed on the building at a point.

Short answer: The speed generally doesn't matter in terms of Force(F=ma). It does with Energy though.

Also, if you want to be REALLY anal, you could use f=d(p)/dt=d(mv)/dt to account for the plane losing mass by either burning fuel or breaking up. It's commonly used for rockets going into the air.

By the way, the B-25 Empire State Building crash was also the place of the longest survived elevator fall recorded. Ironically, of an elevator operator which was already injured and transported in an elevator with damaged cabled :)
