West side of tower, figure of Christ (c1500) with Resurrection Cross in his left hand, wearing crown of thorns and with spear wound in his side. I have visited the church on many occasions but this was the first time I noticed this figure
Getting the correct exposure over these early evening shots is tough. Need about 10 more minutes of darkness.

Campbell Symington was a prominent Detroit merchant and associate of J.L. Hudson. This house was designed by the firm of Donaldson and Meier in 1882, and its exterior looks to be in excellent condition today.
Kampischer Hof, Mühlenstraße, Hanseatic Town of Stralsund, district of Vorpommern-Rügen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania), Germany.
First records of Kampischer Hof date from 1257. In medieval times it was the town residence of the nearby Cistercian monastery of Neuenkamp/Franzburg. It was used to store goods and to accomodate members of the order when staying in town. The three-winged complex is grouped around an inner courtyard and is situated directly at the town wall. Although in a state of disrepair, it is the best preserved example of a monastic town residence in North Germany.
----quotation from en.wikipedia.org:----
The town of Stralsund lies in Northeast Germany in the region of Western Pomerania in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
...
The town lies on the sound of Strelasund, a strait of the Baltic Sea. Its geographic proximity to the island of Rügen, whose only fixed link to the mainland, the Strelasund Crossing, runs between Stralsund and the village of Altefähr, has given Stralsund the sobriquet "Gateway to the Island of Rügen" (Tor zur Insel Rügen). Stralsund lies close to the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park.
A municipal forest and three municipal ponds (the Knieperteich, Frankenteich and Moorteich) belong to the Stralsund's town borough . The three ponds and the Strelasund lend the Old Town, the original settlement site and historic centre of the town, a protected island location.
...
The centre of Stralsund has a wealth of historic buildings. Since 1990, large parts of the historic old town have been renovated with private and public capital, and with the support of foundations. As a result of the contempt for historic buildings in East Germany many houses were threatened by ruin. The Old Town in particular, offers a rich variety of historic buildings, with many former merchants' houses, churches, streets and squares. Of more than 800 listed buildings in Stralsund, more than 500 are designated as individual monuments in the Old Town. In twenty years, from the Wende in 1990 to November 2010, 588 of the more than 1,000 old buildings were completely refurbished, including 363 individual monuments. Because of its historical and architectural significance, in 2002 Stralsund's old town together with the old town of Wismar were added to entitled the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list as the "Historic Centres of Stralsund and Wismar".

----quotation from whc.unesco.org:----
The medieval towns of Wismar and Stralsund, on the Baltic coast of northern Germany, were major trading centres of the Hanseatic League in the 14th and 15th centuries. In the 17th and 18th centuries they became Swedish administrative and defensive centres for the German territories. They contributed to the development of the characteristic building types and techniques of Brick Gothic in the Baltic region, as exemplified in several important brick cathedrals, the Town Hall of Stralsund, and the series of houses for residential, commercial and crafts use, representing its evolution over several centuries.

El ex-convento franciscano de Santa María de Jesús se ubica en el cerro de San Miguel, lugar ceremonial donde se celebra el Huey Atlixcayotl. El conjunto se compone de iglesia, claustro, dormitorios y huerta, aunque sólo se puede visitar el templo. La fachada de la iglesia posee una portada de estilo mudéjar con influencia gótica, con la iconografía franciscana y la puerta de madera original, así como un portal de peregrinos y una línea de cruces griegas de tezontle negro que coronan el edificio; un detalle único en construcciones similares de la misma época. El interior es la nave con bóveda de nervaduras típica de la arquitectura conventual franciscana, con un extraordinario retablo mayor.
Una de las tomas, que encontre de mi viaje a Mexico, los detalles arquitectonicos son impresionantes.

The ideal time for night photos is when ambient light and artifical light are roughly similar. Here layers of the same picture apply different algorithms, as does light, both actual and manipulated images meld together.
