The All Saints Church is an Anglican church located in the suburb of Ainslie, Canberra. It is part of the diocese of Canberra and Goulburn in the Anglican Church of Australia.
The original building started as the First Mortuary station in Rookwood Cemetery, Sydney, as noted on a plaque on the church:
"The stonework of this church was originally used to build the first mortuary station on the branch railway to the necropolis rookwood near Sydney. This plaque was presented by the Australian Railway Historical Society to commemorate the old station which was in use from 1868 to 1948." [1][permanent dead link]
The railway line went underneath the main arch in the building, where the aisle is in the present church. The side aisles are where the platforms for the station were located. Coffins would be taken out on the railway line to the cemetery for burial.

Cracking view of Lincoln Cathedral from the window of the Castle.
Lincoln Castle is a major castle constructed in Lincoln, England during the late 11th century by William the Conqueror on the site of a pre-existing Roman fortress.
Lincoln Cathedral is a cathedral located in Lincoln in England and seat of the Bishop of Lincoln in the Church of England. Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period.
Both are well worth a visit. As is the beautiful centre of town itself, especially over the weekend when a market takes over the space between the Castle and Cathedral.
ancient Toos region is located between two mountain chains, Hezar Masjed in the north and Binalood in the south. mounds and large sites of Toos region shows its importancy and validity in prehistoric period. it considered four main cities in this area, Tabaran, Nowghan, Radkan and Toroghbaz. Tabaran was the greatest. it overshadowed the other cities of the region.
in 1200 Quzes detroyed the city, and then in 1220 it was completley ravaged by Mongols. but after a few decades it was reconstructed.
finally in 1388 Miranshah the son of Taymor crushed this city and gradually Tabaran was forgotten.
this building that is called Harroonieh, is the oldest and the last monument of the disappeared city. it is reconstructed in 1942.
Ronda, one of Andalucia's top tourist destinations …. and rightly so! Of course, there's the famous 'Puente Nuevo', a bridge spanning the deep 'El Tajo' gorge affording incomparable views of the surrounding mountains. Then there's Ronda's famous bullring, reputably the oldest in Spain but certainly one of the most beautiful. But this town of 35,000 situated about 60km west of and an hour and a half drive from the provincial capital, Malaga, has much more to offer. There are a wealth of imposing churches; of which the 'Iglesia Santa Maria la Mayor' is arguably its most impressive with a blend of architectural styles including a beautiful Renaissance choir and a stunning balustraded west facade. Ronda has other monuments, too, as well as ancient palaces, elegant squares and quiet, shady parks. However, for some, the real attraction of Ronda is just wandering around its narrow streets and taking in the atmosphere of this truly memorable location. Finally, for those of that disposition, Ronda has, in Calle Espinel, a street full of good and varied shops! There are plenty more photos of Ronda and other Spanish towns/locations if you take a look at my 'Albums' page, www.flickr.com/photos/36623892@N00/sets/ - thank you.

Pavilion Château St. Gerlach estate - Mecanoo Architects - 2013-2017
Château St. Gerlach is an estate in Valkenburg near Maastricht, the Netherlands, situated in the middle of the hilly Limburg countryside: a unique complex with a luxury hotel, restaurant and spa. Mecanoo Architects designed an elegant pavilion which balances the historic buildings on the site. The pavilion completes the ensemble of the Château (1661), the St. Gerlachus Church (1727), the Farmstead (1759) and the Manor Farm (1668). The estate is now clearly visible from the public road, and has gained new significance for the village of Houthem.
“The design for the St. Gerlach Pavilion features a cantilevered roof with a beautiful curve. The materials used are inspired by the natural surroundings of Limburg: marlstone, bluestone and oak,” said Francine Houben, founding partner and creative director of Mecanoo architecten. “From the pavilion, guests will have diverse views over the château, the hills, the meadow and the manor farm.”
The three large multifunctional meeting rooms in the state of the art pavilion can be used separately or combined, offering a unique location for a variety of meetings and events. The manor farm, a national monument from 1668, has been renovated to house small meeting rooms as well as a café to have lunch or coffee. This new public function serves the local community. An intimate 'village square' between the pavilion and the manor farm can be used as an outdoor extension of the foyer
On our drive down to Panama City Beach we pass through Eufaula on highway 431.
It's odd because the busy highway funnels through this completely out of place area with these great-looking homes. I'm not sure why there is no bypass, but this time we decided to stop and take pictures of some of the wonderful houses along the road.

La cathédrale de Cordoue (en espagnol : Santa Iglesia Catedral de Córdoba), également connue sous son ancien nom de grande mosquée de Cordoue (Mezquita de Córdoba), est un ancien temple romain qui devint église puis mosquée, avant de devenir cathédrale. C'est un des monuments majeurs de l'architecture islamique, témoin de la présence musulmane en Espagne du VIIIe au XVe siècle. Elle est connue dans le monde entier pour être le monument le plus accompli de l'art des Omeyyades de Cordoue. Convertie en église au XVIe siècle après la Reconquista, puis en cathédrale, elle est aujourd'hui l'église principale du diocèse de Cordoue en Espagne.
La cathédrale de Cordoue a été classée au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco en 1984.
Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba (Spanish: Mezquita–catedral de Córdoba, Mezquita de Córdoba), also called the Mezquita and the Great Mosque of Córdoba, is now a Catholic Christian cathedral and formerly a medieval Islamic mosque. It is located in the Spanish city of Córdoba, Andalusia.
The Cathedral is regarded as the one of the most accomplished monuments of Renaissance and Moorish architecture. Since the early 2000s (decade), Spanish Muslims have lobbied the Roman Catholic Church to allow them to pray in the cathedral. The Muslim campaign has been rejected on multiple occasions, by both Spanish Catholic authorities, and the Vatican.
