St. Leonard's Street, West Malling, Kent, 21 Sep 2010. The Startled Saint used to be the local pub for the airmen stationed at nearby RAF West Malling. Sadly both the pub and the airfield have closed and been converted.

The Admissions Center is located in the center of the Lower Columbia College campus, and houses the admissions, advising, financial aid, registration and related enrollment services and department offices.
I sprayed on the stucco 'till I thought I'd faint
With twelve shades of brown and for real I cain't...
Believe all the blandness, oh no artist I ain't
But it's my destiny to be the King of Paint
Finally, I figured out something fitting (albeit strange) for that song!
Yes, the new Taco Bell looks to be already past the stucco and paint stage, at least on the exterior (minus painting the confetti if they do that here), and that's right at one mere month from pouring the foundation! In this pic grooves in the stucco for confetti (on the top of the walls) are clearly visible.
If the old TB remains standing after all (looks like it very well might), the new building will have no choice but to assume the 1117 address that the construction crew is using. Will the old building be re-addressed correctly when Taco Bell vacates? I doubt it but stay tuned...
City Hall Plaza was an outgrowth of the 1950s and 1960s urban renewal movement. Some of the oldest areas of Boston were demolished to create this plaza designed by Kallmann, McKinnell and Knowles in 1962 (they also designed the brutalist City Hall). The master plan and siting of buildings was planned by I.M. Pei.
An ancient fabric to which a modern mansion has been added, finely situated on the crest of the precipitous bank of the River Ayr. It is probable that the south-west portion is an old keep, and that the north-east portion is a later addition, the floors being on different levels; by this enlargement a great hall was obtained on the first floor; at about this time a parapet with ornamental corbelling and bartizans was carried round the building.

This extraordinary little building with a doll's-house appearance nestles in a beautiful valley on the Berkshire Downs, surrounded by massive woodland. This is how it appears from down long grassy drove making it seem even smaller than it is!
La leggenda popolare vuole che San Martino, vescovo di Tours, dovendo ritornare dall‘Italia nella sua diocesi, si trovò bloccato dal torrente Lys in piena, la furia dell’acqua aveva travolto l’unica passerella, il diavolo si mostrò al vescovo proponendogli di costruire il ponte in una notte, in cambio l’anima del primo passante sarebbe stata sua, il vescovo accettò e al mattino il ponte permetteva di attraversare il torrente Lys, la popolazione esterrefatta si avviava verso il ponte ma San Martino lancio prontamente un pezzo di pane verso un cane randagio che di corsa attraversò il ponte, Il diavolo, furente, scomparve nel Lys tra lampi e zaffate di zolfo, ed alla popolazione rimase il ponte.
Ancora oggi il carnevale di Pont-Saint-Martin, che si conclude proprio con il rogo del diavolo sotto il ponte romano.
The Theatre of Marcellus (Latin: Theatrum Marcelli, Italian: Teatro di Marcello) is an ancient open-air theatre in Rome, Italy, built in the closing years of the Roman Republic. At the theatre, locals and visitors alike were able to watch performances of drama and song. Today its ancient edifice in the rione of Sant'Angelo, Rome, once again provides one of the city's many popular spectacles or tourist sites. It was named after Marcus Marcellus, Emperor Augustus's nephew, who died five years before its completion. Space for the theatre was cleared by Julius Caesar, who was murdered before it could be begun; the theatre was so far advanced by 17 BC that part of the celebration of the ludi saeculares took place within the theatre; it was completed in 13 BC and formally inaugurated in 12 BC by Augustus.
The theatre was 111 m in diameter; it could originally hold 11,000 spectators. It was an impressive example of what was to become one of the most pervasive urban architectural forms of the Roman world. The theatre was built mainly of tuff, and concrete faced with stones in the pattern known as opus reticulatum, completely sheathed in white travertine. The network of arches, corridors, tunnels and ramps that gave access to the interiors of such Roman theaters were normally ornamented with a screen of engaged columns in Greek orders: Doric at the base, Ionic in the middle. It is believed that Corinthian columns were used for the upper level but this is uncertain as the theater was reconstructed in the Middle Ages, removing the top tier of seating and the columns.
Like other Roman theaters in suitable locations, it had openings through which the natural setting could be seen, in this case the Tiber Island to the southwest. The permanent setting, the scaena, also rose to the top of the cavea as in other Roman theaters.
A former railway station building from the 19th century. It's the worlds oldest surviving monumental railway architecture.
The station opened in 1838. When New St Station was finished in 1854, Curzon St stopped being a passenger station, put holiday trips continued until 1893. It remained in use until 1966 as a goods station. It was called Birmingham Station until 1852 when they added Curzon St.
It is Grade I listed but isn't in use at the moment.
Curzon Street Station was the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway which started at London Euston.
The line was engineered by Robert Stephenson
London and Birmingham Railway - Wikipedia
After ceasing being a station for passengers, it was later the called British Rail Goods Office. But it hasn't been that in a very long time.
It was formerly listed as the Railway Goods Office.
1838, by Philip Hardwick. The original terminus to the London-Birmingham railway Ashlar. In the Ionic style. Three storeys, 3 bays and austerely cubic. Portico of 4 really giant Ionic columns to the dentilled entablature with attic. Behind, a carved achievement of arms and swags over the glazed tympanum above the great panelled doors and 2 ground floor single windows. The first floor with 2 windows with blind balconys and cornices on brackets. Second floor with 3 windows in flat surrounds. All windows sashes mostly with glazing bars. To the rear, 2 engaged Ionic columns between square piers. To the left, a length of wall with intermittent balustrading.
This is how they used to build offices centuries ago. What a place! It used to be the office of a nearby steel factory.
Looks like it has been abandoned for some time. Have no info about it’s history unfortunately.

This magnificent building built in 1925 was the residence of a couple with a particular history. An injured World War I soldier was hospitalized in England and reportedly met his future wife, the widow of a wealthy governor. After marrying in Brussels, they built this castle in a Belgian village, with architecture inspired by many trips made by the aristocratic wife. The building has many rich architectural characteristics, with oriental, Art Deco and chinese inspirations. Some receptions were organized for the village inhabitants, and the owner was a time elected alderman of the community.
Both died in 1940, and the castle was bought in 1988 by a wealthy entrepreneur and his wife. As the building was too big for the two of them, they saw the opportunity to turn the space into a luxury hotel, then into a bed and breakfast, before being abandoned, presumably after the couple's death.
Today, this superb place is abandoned and at the mercy of squatters and vandals of the region. One part of the building was recently the target of a fire, in March 2017. Today, the site could be transformed into a nursing home and/or apartment buildings. These photos were taken before the fire.

Cette magnifique bâtisse construite en 1925 était la résidence d’un couple à l’histoire particulière. Un combattant blessé de la Première Guerre Mondiale fut hospitalisé en Angleterre et y aurait rencontré sa future épouse, veuve d’un riche gouverneur. Après s’être mariés à Bruxelles, ils firent construire ce château dans un village de Belgique, avec une architecture inspirée de nombreux voyages effectués par l’épouse aristocrate. Le bâtiment présente en effet de nombreuses et riches caractéristiques architecturales, orientales, Art Déco, ou encore chinoises. Le lieu servit notamment de réception pour des fêtes de village, de même que son propriétaire fut un temps élu échevin de la communauté.

Décédés tous deux en 1940, le château fut racheté en 1988 par un riche entrepreneur et son épouse. Le bâtiment étant trop grand pour eux deux, ils y virent l’opportunité de transformer l’espace libre en hôtel de luxe, puis en Bed & Breakfast, avant d’être laissé à l’abandon, vraisemblablement après le décès du couple.
Aujourd’hui, ce superbe lieu est délaissé et à la merci de squatteurs et vandales de la région. Une partie a récemment été la cible d’un incendie, en mars 2017. On parle actuellement de transformer le site en maison de repos et/ou cité d’appartements. Les présentes photos datent d’avant l’incendie.
Cartagena, Colombia. The city of Cartagena, known in the colonial era as Cartagena de Indias (Spanish: Cartagena de Indias [kaɾtaˈxena ðe ˈindjas] (About this sound listen)), is a major port founded in 1533, located on the northern coast of Colombia in the Caribbean Coast Region. It was strategically located between the Magdalena and Sinú rivers and became the main port for trade between Spain and its overseas empire, establishing its importance by the early 1540s. During the colonial era it was a key port for the export of Peruvian silver to Spain and for the import of African slaves under the asiento system. It was defensible against pirate attacks in the Caribbean. It is the capital of the Bolívar Department, and had a population 971,592 as of 2016. It is the fifth-largest city in Colombia and the second largest in the region, after Barranquilla. The urban area of Cartagena is also the fifth-largest urban area in the country. Economic activities include the maritime and petrochemicals industries, as well as tourism.
The city was founded on June 1, 1533, and named after Cartagena, Spain, which in turn was named after Carthage in Tunisia. Settlement in the region around Cartagena Bay by various indigenous people dates back to 4000 BC. During the Spanish colonial period Cartagena served a key role in administration and expansion of the Spanish empire. It was a center of political, ecclesiastical, and economic activity. In 1984, Cartagena's colonial walled city and fortress were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Arquidiócesis de Puebla
Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Tzocuila
San Pedro Cholula
Estado de Puebla,México
Información proporcionada por Tacho
El Santuario actual es obra del siglo XIX. En uno de los letreros sobre los nichos del primer cuerpo en la portada exterior dice: “En 23 De Noviemb Re De 1807 a. se come nzo esta obra sien do mayordomo D. Fernando Caro de Castillo y se acavo en 13 De Octubre de 1811 a”. Según la tradición el mencionado don Fernando Caro hizo con la construcción con el dinero que su esposa encontró en un barril, junto con una nota y diseño que explicaban, “que con ese dinero debería construirse el nuevo templo”. Para el 14 de octubre de 1811 se hizo la translación de la santa imagen, a su actual sitio, ya que estaba en lo que hoy es el pulpito.
Su fachada a pesar de lo tardío de su construcción, es aun de un barroco salomónico. En su exterior incluso la cúpula, ha sido pintada con mucha gracia y personalidad de tonos anaranjados claros, los adornos y molduras con tono oscuro, cosa que le da mucha gracia y personalidad al edificio, con ese gusto especial que los poblanos saben dar a sus iglesias.
El decorado interior, que costo 30, 000 pesos, fue echo en 1952 por cuenta del vecindario estilo “barroco republicano”. Se forma el templo con dos bóvedas iniciales, de lunetos. Bajo la primera va el coro, con salientes y llamativas tribunas a los lados, las 2 bóvedas se adornan con medallones de ángeles y doctores de la iglesia, después viene el crucero, sobre el cual se asienta la hermosa cúpula ochavada, en cuyas pechinas están en alto relieve, los evangelistas. El Altar Mayor, estilo neoclásico, y en su centro se conserva el paredón en el cual esta pintada la Santa Patrona y a sus lados, las imágenes de San Joaquín y Sta. Ana.
De entre las obras novohispanas que tiene este lugar, se encuentran oleos como un San Antonio de Padua, El Sr. De la Cañita o Justo Juez, San Bernardo de Claraval, La Dolorosa, y una Calle de la Amargura, fechada en 1819, en la sacristía se ubica una excelente pintura del Calvario; también hay una imagen estofada del Patriarca san José, un Cristo posiblemente del siglo XVIII.
En la primera década del siglo XX, el arzobispo de Puebla, el venerable Ramón Ibarra y González, el templo lo eleva a categoría de Santuario nombrando como primer capellán al Padre Francisco P. Mayorga quien con empeño cuida la santa imagen.
Durante mucho tiempo, el santuario y las estancias adyacentes estuvieron bajo el cuidado de la Orden de San Francisco y la Tercera Orden fundando la Casa de Ejercicios “Fray Lauro Muñoz”. Hoy en día es una Capellanía dependiente del Arzobispado de Puebla quedando al frente actualmente el Rev. Padre Telésforo Bonilla.

As I am a Sony Alpha user, I would like to express my feeling for A7 Series camera that I like:
- Size and weight very light and easier to grab for my hand and more handy
- Silent shutter, BSI sensor 5 axis in-body stabilization and the possibility to use also with E-mount, A-mount and all brands.
- Visualize directly in viewfinder how the image will end up. I don’t have to verify it all the time, I am more confident in your settings, I save a lot of time, As I can see what your picture will exactly.
- Focus Peaking highlights the edges of the subject which is in focus, it's really useful for me.
- Whether I shoot macro, wildlife, concerts or whatever, it’s a very convenient means to get original angles and more creative pictures on the ground or above a crowd.
- Image Quality and Sensor Performances.
- The NFC and WiFi feature is to be able to use one’s smartphone as a smart remote and copy image. In fact, I don’t have to stand behind my camera to take the picture.
- The short distance between the sensor and the lens is one of mirrorless’ best advantages. It allows the use of whichever lens I want via an adapter. There are adapters for all existing brands.

Office building Rijkswaterstaat Middelburg NL- architect Paul de Ruiter, 2000-2004
This office building for Rijkswaterstaat, the national water authority, nestles in the bend of the canal. The oblong building 142 metres long has an almost entirely see-through ground floor, level with the dyke, and an open parking facility below. The office storeys with their module of 12 metres have a wide range of possible subdivisions. Horizontal lengths of solar shading line the south face. With heat and cold storage at a depth of 65 metres and concrete core activation with fully integrated pipes, the building is extremely energy-efficient with the added bonus of a generous floor-to-floor height.

Nong Khiaw (ຫນອງຂຽວ) is a traveller's haven in the truest sense, offering pampering, good food, decent accommodation and bags of activities with established adventure-tour operators. Nestled on the west bank of the Nam Ou (the river almost currentless since the building of the dam upstream), spanned by a vertiginous bridge and bookended by towering limestone crags, it's surely one of the most photogenic spots in Laos. On the river's scenic east bank (officially called Ban Sop Houn) is the lion's share of guesthouses and restaurants.
Be aware that Nong Khiaw is alternatively known as Muang Ngoi (the name of the surrounding district), creating obvious confusion with Muang Ngoi Neua, a 75-minute boat ride further north. Source: www.lonelyplanet.com
