One can never fail to be awe-struck by the Forth rail bridge and for me, the icing on the cake is a Gresley A4 Pacific streaking across this incredible structure. A satisfactory composition all round is rather difficult to acheive, with trains dwarfed by the massive ironwork and indeed there are few places on the bridge where a locomotive can be suitably framed. Furthermore, the road bridge shaking with the passage of heavy vehicles, from where this was taken, also has to be factored in!

I was so fascinated by this little building. Obviously it had something to do with the Union Pacific. Hastings was a big railroad hub back in the day.
This just must be viewed large. There are so many cool details

British Columbia Parliament Buildings
Victoria, BC, CANADA
Victoria is the capital city of British Columbia,CANADA located in Vancouver Island. The city is much smaller than Vancouver, but it's such a beautiful city and there are many old beautiful buildings worth seeing. Specially British Columbia Parliament Buildings and the Empress Hotel are famous and they are really wonderful buildings. I think I have to visit Victoria again to take more photos and to know about the city.

Eine buddhistische Tempelanlage aus dem
8. Jahrhundert.
Zum Bau dieser Stufenpyramide mussten Zwangsarbeiter ca 2000000 in Worten **zwei Millionen** Steinquader mit einem Gesamtvolumen von 56.640 Kubikmetern heran schaffen.
Man baute 80 Jahre an diesem Komplex.
Nur 100 Jahre benutzte man den Ort als Wallfahrts- Stätte.!!!!!!
Über 1000 Jahre blieb der Borobudur vergessen.
1814 Wurde der Tempel vom dem Britten H.C.C. Cornelius wiederentdeckt.
These couple old buildings were probably the kings of their time for the small rural Iowa town. Sadly they have weathered but still make for interesting subjects.

Talon värikäs historia ei kerro pelkästään nuorisoseura-aatteesta ja nuorisoseuralaisista. Pellervolainen Valkealan Osuuskauppa aloitti vuonna 1917 toimintansa näissä tiloissa ja seuraavana vuonna talo oli punaisten tukikohtana. Sinä aikana seuran kirjasto joutui teille tietymättömille. Kun tuli tuhosiValkealan kirkon, talo toimi vuodet 1921 - 1927 kirkkona. Sotahistoriaa tehtiin jälleen 18.6. 1941, jolloin talolla perustettiin I/JR 25:n 1. ja 2. komppania. Kaksi päivää myöhemmin miehet lähtivät marssimaan kohti jatkosodan tuntemattomia kohtaloita. Tuon ajan muistoksi talon ulkoseinään on kiinnitetty koruton laatta. Sotavuosina talo oli vuokrattu lotille ja suojeluskunnalle kahvilaa ja muuta toimintaa varten.
Kaakkois-Suomen Ympäristökeskus totesi päätöksessään 21.1.1999, että rakennuksella on maakunnallista ja kulttuurihistoriallista merkitystä erityisesti siihen liittyvien moninaisten käyttötapojen ja tapahtumien vuoksi. Eipä aavistanut rakennusmestari Taavi Haimi suunnitellessaan tätä jugend-tyylistä nuorisoseurantaloa, että se voisi liki sadan vuoden päästä olla rakennus- ja kulttuurihistoriallisesti niin arvokas, että Valkealan kunnan pitää rakennuskaavan muutoksella säilyttää se!
Rapistunut ja vuonna 1995 osittain palanut nuorisoseurantalo siis vältti purku-uhan ja saatiin pelastetuksi jälkipolville. Eu-hankkeena toteutunut korjaus vaati jälleen paitsi rahaa ja rakennustarvikkeita myös lukemattomia talkootunteja. Ne jatkuvat yhä, sillä talkootyötä riittää aatteellisessa yhdistyksessä loputtomasti. Rakennus on nykyisellään paremmassa kunnossa kuin koskaan ja se ottaa suojiinsa sekä oman väen että vieraat, jotka tahtovat sen tiloja omiin tapahtumiinsa vuokrata.
Organized in 1877 by the New Orleans Presbytery, the present church building was erected in 1891 on the site the original building which was destroyed by fire in 1889. Though damaged during Hurricane Katrina, the congregation continues to meet for worship each Sunday.
Located in Gulfport, Mississippi

Maldon.
The Simson family took out pastoral runs around what is now Maldon in 1840. They had the Cairn Curran and the Tarrangower runs. It was near the foot of Mount Tarrangower that gold was discovered in December 1853 precipitating a gold rush in early 1854. The discovered of gold at Maldon was John Mechosk who received numerous government payouts for discovering gold fields apart from the one in Maldon. He also discovered the goldfields at Dunolly, Maryborough and Fryerstown. He received around £1,000 from the Victorian government for his efforts. A town was surveyed and developed in 1854 and it is believed that a member of the survey party suggested the name of Maldon because the hilly country reminded him of Maldon in Essex England. The diggers, up to 20,000 of them, were controlled by the District Gold Commissioner Bernard Smith who arrived and set up camp in 1854.The diggers had their canvas areas throughout the region but the town of Maldon soon had several public buildings including an early timber famed Wesleyan Methodist church built in 1855 and a brewery and several hotels built in 1854.
The Maldon gold finds were especially rich and mining companies developed areas to the north, east and south of the town with mining sites such as the Beehive Mine, the Nuggetty Mine, Eagle Hawk Mine, Bell’s Reef, the North British mine etc. Mining continued for a long period and as late as 1903 there were still over 1,000 diggers on the sites around Maldon following the last gold rush of 1897. But this was the last period of active mining around Maldon and the population had shrunk considerably by the 1920s. Because it was not on a main road to anywhere Maldon languished in semi-isolation for the next 50 years until the National Trust declared it the “First Notable Town in Australia” as its mining sites and historic buildings were still largely intact and the town showcased the life of a 19th century Australian gold mining town. Whole streetscapes of Maldon are heritage listed and a number of significant mining structures are still standing such as the 98 feet high Beehive Mine tower built in 1863. It stands at the top of the main street. The cemetery a few kilometres out of town has a fine Chinese funerary burning chamber probably from around 1865 when the gold mines were at their peak. The cemetery was opened in 1861 and the gate house was built in 1866. 121 Chinese are known to have been buried in the Maldon cemetery but only a couple of headstone are known. But there is little other evidence of the significant Chinese population of diggers that were once in the Maldon district. The town proudly proclaims that fact that over 2.1 million ounces of gold was extracted at Maldon worth about 3 billion dollars at today’s values.
Because of the wealth of Maldon it has numerous outstanding or significant historic buildings although it was never a really large town. Apart from the many fine hotels and commercial buildings the town has the Penny or Denominational School built as an Anglican school in 1856 but open to any child whose parents could afford the fees. 120 pupils were enrolled at this small school in 1857. The building was enlarged and rebuilt in 1862. The state school in Maldon was not built until 1875. It is still an impressive building. Near the Penny School is one of the early churches of Maldon the Welsh Congregational Church which was built in 1863. There were many Welsh and Cornish miners on the Maldon diggings. Nearby are several churches including the Anglican Church (1861), the Catholic Church built 1891 (replacing an earlier 1859 church), the former Wesleyan Methodist Church built in 1863 (replacing the 1855 wooden one), the Presbyterian Church built in 1905 (replacing an earlier 1861 church) and the Welsh Baptist Church built in 1865 with matching 1890 additions. Further away on the hill near the state school is the impressive Maldon Hospital. A wooden temporary hospital was established in 1859 but this grand classical designed hospital was built in 1867 beside the temporary building. One wing of the classical façade hospital was built in 1860 and the other in 1862. In 1867 the temporary structure in the middle was replaced with the central two storey hospital section which still stands. A further wing was added after this. The design for the hospital was chosen from entries to a public competition. The current town museum was once the Maldon Market which was erected in 1859. Near this central government camp area of Maldon which the Gold Commissioners used you can also find the Courthouse built in 1860 and the Post Office built in 1870. Nearby is the Athenaeum Library built in 1934 and still in use as the town library. This 1934 structure replaced the previous Athenaeum library built in 1863 and destroyed by fire in 1933. In addition to the usual commercial buildings, banks and hotels in the main street there is also an old grain store and further away is the railway station. A train line was built to service Maldon in 1884 and a fine red brick station built in 1888. It closed in 1976.
Other buildings of note in Maldon are MacArthur’s Cottage in High Street with the very unusual three dimensional brick work effect around the door and windows. It is next door to the Anglican Holy Trinity church. McArthur’s cottage was built in 1860s. The old Grain Store and Brooks’ Store were built in 1866 for the Maldon Cooperative Trading Company. This cooperative was not successful and went into liquidation in 1872 when John Brooks acquired the property and it is probably at this time additions were added. Members of the Brooks family ran this store until 1986. The Maldon Hotel was built in 1909 and the adjacent Shakespeare House and gallery was erected in 1907. Across the street is the 1854 established McArthur’s Bakery. The sign on this building relates to the establishment of the bakery not the actual building. This corner bakery was built in 1895. The old Beehive Market in Maldon began life as Franklin’s boot and shoe warehouse in 1870. The building later became a timber yard. Upton’s Butcher shop in the Main Street was established on this site in 1859 and the store was built then with the veranda added in 1860. The parapet is more modern being added to the shop in 1907. The Maldon Timber and Hardware building with the fancy parapet was built in 1897 after the earlier building on this site burnt down. It began life as a drapery.
