The fortified evangelical church of Cincșor was built in the 14th century.
The settlement was first documented in 1377 in the papal tax lists (Rudbertus de Parvo Promotorio), the second mention being in 1434 when it appeared under the name of "Kyssenk". During the following centuries, Cincșor became a real bastion on the route of the Olt on the path of the migratory peoples, the Turks and the Tatars. The fortified church dates from this first period.
The church with a tower to the west was erected between 1421 and 1427 and dedicated to the "holy apostles Peter and Paul". In the middle of the 15th century, the first enclosure was erected and a defense floor was added above the choir. The fortified church of Cincșor is one of the best preserved churches in Transylvania, the changes that have taken place over the centuries are minimal.
The church organ was brought by Samuel Matz Birthalm and is dated 1805. The Cincșor organ is one of the most famous church organs in Transylvania. In the bell tower, there are two bells, a large one dating from 1937 and an average dating from 1644.
The famous Transylvanian painter Carl Dörschlag painted the current altar in 1868. The old altar of the triptych is located in the country's museum in Făgăraș
In 2011, the village community of Saxon origin had only 22 inhabitants.
The lighting was perfect as we walked up to this old fort.
Capturing the light can be as important as the subject matter.

The walls and bastions of the Old Fortress in Corfu, Greece, were reinforced during the long period of Venetian rule (1386-1797). Later the British built barracks, a hospital, church, and kitchens in the fortress between 1815 and 1864.
Doo-Woo
He's boring to play, annoying to play against, but damn, he's cute.
Another Quicky Overwatch build before BW. Reinhardt looked sad all by himself, so I built him a buddy.
Props to DFI again for his help with Bastion's head.
Manenborgh, ook wel Manenburg genoemd, was een bolwerk in het centrum van de Nederlandse stad Utrecht. In de 16e eeuw liet keizer Karel V de middeleeuwse stadsverdediging van deze stad uitbreiden. Onder meer vier stenen bolwerken verrezen daarin rond 1550 aan de verdedigingsgracht (de Stadsbuitengracht), waaronder Manenborgh en Sonnenborgh. De stadsbouwmeester Willem van Noort ontwierp het fortificatieplan voor Utrecht en was in het zuidelijke deel van de stad verantwoordelijk voor de bouw van bolwerk ManeHoewel bedoeld als verdedigingswerk, kreeg de Manenborgh gaandeweg een functie als woonhuis en veestal.
Vanaf 1830 zijn de overtollig geworden Utrechtse bolwerken, stadspoorten, verdedigingstorens en stadswal grotendeels afgebroken. Met de afbraak kon in de volgende decennia - naar ontwerp uit 1829 van de landschapsarchitect Jan David Zocher jr. - op een groot deel van de voormalige verdedigingswerken het Zocherpark worden aangelegd. Manenborgh maakt vandaag de dag onderdeel uit van dit singelplantsoen. Onderste delen van het bolwerk zijn bewaard gebleven. Restanten zijn een rijksmonument evenals twee woningen die bij het bolwerk staan.
Op moment van schrijven huisvest het bastion een beeldhouwatelier.
Während sie in anderen Städten schon verschwunden sind, fahren bei der Cottbuser Straßenbahn nach wie vor fast nur Tatras.

In the distance (left) is the Fisherman's House - this is where the bus stops during high seasons, on the right is the Dauphin Demi-Bastion and the fortification walls.

For over a century, the Fisherman's Bastion has offered Budapest visitors incredible views of the Danube and Pest. The real history behind this monument dates to the Middle Ages when the defensive wall on Castle Hill was defended by a guild of fishermen from a nearby village. This splendid architectural piece was built at the site of the old rampart in neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque architectural styles in 1905. A small fee allows today's tourists to walk the walls of history and enjoy the panoramic views of Budapest.

Die Bastionsgänge sind Teil des Kiek in de Kök-Festungsmuseums.
Die geheimnisvollen Gänge der Befestigungen Tallinns wurden zusammen mit den Bastionen im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert erbaut. Das Ziel war es, Soldaten und Munition sowie andere Ausrüstung vor dem Feind versteckt zu platzieren. Nachdem die Erdbefestigungen 1857 aus dem Verzeichnis der Militärobjekte gestrichen wurden, wurden Parks angelegt.
Die unterirdischen Gänge fanden aber wieder Verwendung in den Weltkriegen.
Dort unten entlangzugehen war schon ein bisschen spooky.

Me and a few mates were away camping last weekend and the weather wasnt great! The second day was a washout with rain and high winds from the leftovers of Post-tropical storm Ernesto.
After a bit of cabin fever i made the most of the following day and took a walk along the coast, the wind was smashing the waves into the cliffs! I took a few long exposures and wished i had a better tripod as it was so windy. I thought about getting myself into shot to show a sense of scale but after a bit of risk assessment(camera blowing over+me, a tad hungover falling in) i decided not to!
Want to say Beech? wood near where i live in early morning misty light. Was magical up in the woods this morning with diffuse light and misty scenery straight out of a fantasy film. Shame I couldn't do it justice lol!

Everyone’s favorite Overwatch hero (sarcasm) Bastion! This one was a challenge since he had to transform into turret mode, but after making several different versions, I think I’m finally happy with him.
And yes, I know the piece I used for the head is cracked. Just think of it as battle damage he received by fighting Genji or something.

Revisiting some photos from 2014. Seeing the morning sun in the east, I am reminded that I had already driven three hours, and hiked a few miles at a different national park.
I would spend the night in Cooke City, Montana, after crossing the Beartooth Highway. Tomorrow would bring a hike on Specimen Ridge and then a conference reception at 4:30pm in Mammoth.
I do get around.
