主教山小堂又稱海崖聖母小堂，1622年建於炮台旁，殿堂簡樸，山徑迂迴；1892年附近古堡拆除後，聖母堂得以逐步擴大，1835年重建後成為今天宏偉之規模。鐘樓高聳入雲，十分莊嚴肅穆，配以花徑草叢，古樹濃蔭，建築端麗，環境優美，遊人甚眾。
聖母堂前築有高台，置有一大理石雕刻而成的聖母像，聖母雙手合拾，貌甚慈祥，面臨大海。其下有一路德聖母岩洞，循左右環抱之石階而下，可達洞前。洞內岩石嶙峋，中開拱門，內立聖母像，象徵古時聖母在法國路德城內，當眾顯靈的情景。其間正置祭壇，洞前有鐵柵圍繞，地上設有多排低矮長凳，供人跪拜、懺悔。
路德聖母岩洞前，空階上有一塊刻有葡文的古銅墓碑，是二十世紀初天主教澳門主教埋骨之處。1918年2月18日，約翰鮑連那主教逝世，寄葬於此。

Oakville Museum at Erchless Estate is a four-acre estate home and gardens set on the shores of Lake Ontario in downtown Oakville. The Museum preserves and interprets the town’s history through the heritage and home of Oakville’s founding family, the Chisholms. The Town of Oakville owes its existence to the vision of Colonel William Chisholm (1788-1842), an enterprising merchant and shipbuilder. In 1827, he bought 960 acres of land from the Crown at the mouth of the Sixteen Mile Creek on Lake Ontario to establish a port, shipbuilding yard and the village of Oakville.
Taken in 2000 while my internship at an architectural firm in Iowa. I (think) I was using an Olympus camera at that time. Film is a Kodak slide film.
Breckfield Road North at Tynemouth Close. Can anyone tell me the name of this pub before it was Turpins? I can't see that as the original name.
These are pictures of every bridge which lands in the borough of Manhattan with two exceptions: High Bridge and Spuyten Duyvin. There are 19 in total. Over a 48 hour period in January of 2008 I walked across every one of these bridges that was open to pedestrian traffic and afterwards my feet hurt!
