A period house in the Spitalfields area of London that's regularly used as a film set for historical dramas. I've shot this previously long ago but stumbled across it on this occasion without any cars to impede the POV - definitely worth a retake IMO.
She wanders the shoreline looking at the wreckage and wonders where is everyone. Is she the only survivor. She sees a piece of rubbish and looks at the date....2022....she thinks to herself...no that cannot be right she captained her ship in the early 1700s. Then she notices that she wanders through the trees and rocks as if nothing is there. She then realises she feels no warmth or cold....she looks around and sees the mist hanging around her and her ship....she realises she is landbound now....but does she realise she actually died in the 18th century and now it is the 21st century......oh I think she is slowly realising she is now confined to wandering these shores on the Forgotten sim in SL not as a person but as a spirit of who she once was.....so sad....so very sad. So what has caused her spirit to come back to this rocky shoreline? Or has someone visited these shores who is a distant relative and has stirred her rest...maybe it is you.
Bone mill and "Roman aqueduct". The buildings are part of Schwetzingen Palace Gardens, even if they stand outside of the fence. The Mill was built from 1762 to 1765. The bones were crushed to get bone flour which was used either to produce animal glue or fertiliser. The water course in front is called "Leimbach" which means animal glue-beck. The "Roman aqueduct" was built by Nicolas de Pigage from 1779 to 1780. It is actually transporting water from the mill to the garden and is supposed to look Italian.
Another of the small thatched cottage at the Museum of Skye with 2 small boats outside this time...just a mile or so from the sea...

No help from anyone. Expected to suck it up. Life expectancy 35 max. Military personnel back from major battles experienced horrors so bad this military person of the 18thCentury experiences battles of the past every day. Photo taken at my home studio in Secondlife.

Ruthven Barracks near Ruthven in Badenoch, Scotland, are the best preserved of the four barracks built in 1719 after the 1715 Jacobite rising. Set on an old castle mound, the complex comprises two large three-storey blocks occupying two sides of the enclosure, each with two rooms per floor. The barracks and enclosing walls were built with loopholes for musket firing, and bastion towers were built at opposite corners. Destroyed by Jacobites following their retreat after the Battle of Culloden in 1746, the Barracks ruins are maintained as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland. They are accessible at all times without entrance charge.
Flower pot ornaments on the Nördlicher Zirkelbau (northern arc building) in the Schlossgarten Schwetzingen. Got to prove from time to time, that German words can be endlessly long. The northern Zirkelbau was built in 1748/49 by Alessandro Galli da Bibiena (or rather using the plans of.. da Bibiena died in 1748 before the building was finished).
in Schlossgarten Schwetzingen. The 18th-century vases were made by the Italian sculptor Francesco Carabelli (1737-1798)
L'église a été édifiée près de l'abbaye peu de temps après en 1039. Cette première église disparut dans un incendie en 1264. Après avoir été reconstruite, elle connut de graves dommages en 1417 liés à la guerre de cent ans. De la reconstruction qui suivit il subsiste les murs et les baies du chœur. La nef et le clocher ont été remaniés au cours du XVIIIe siècle. L'église a subi des restaurations au XXe siècle : mise en place des vitraux actuels en 1959, électrification des cloches en 1977, remplacement de l'horloge en 1986.

Ilomantsi is the easternmost town in the mainland European Union. As the crow flies, Russia is only around 22 km from here.
That's the name of this installation (aka Das Perspektiv, 'the spotting scope'). The landscape at the end of the tunnel is painted. Pretty sophisticated for the 18th century gardening.
