Scott County Courthouse, corner of Broadway and Main Streets, Georgetown, Kentucky. This 1877 courthouse was designed by Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania architect Thomas W. Boyd in the Second Empire style at a cost of $34,600. It is no longer used for trials but is used for other government business. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 28, 1972.
Arènes d’Arles, a two-tiered Roman amphitheater dating from around 90 AD, was capable of seating over 20,000 spectators, and was built to provide entertainment in the form of chariot races and bloody hand-to-hand battles. Today, it draws large crowds for bullfighting during the Feria d'Arles as well as plays and concerts in summer. The building features 120 arches. It has an oval arena surrounded by terraces, arcades on two levels, bleachers, a system of galleries, drainage system in many corridors of access and staircases. With the fall of the Empire in the 5th century, the amphitheater became a shelter for the population and was transformed into a fortress with four towers (the southern tower is not restored). The structure encircled more than 200 houses, becoming a real town, with its public square built in the center of the arena and two chapels, one in the center of the building, and another one at the base of the west tower. In 1825 the change to national historical monument began.

The 363,000-square-foot Seattle Public Library is 11 floors tall and has 1.4 million books and materials and 400 public computers! Rem Koolhaas and Joshua Ramus of the Office of Metropolitan Architecture were the principal designers of the building.
My latest project that I am building right now. It is a replica of the Kuala Lumpur Petronas Towers in Malaysia. (this is actual pic from RL not SL.) Will upload pics of it in SL after it is finished.
Saint Basil's Cathedral, a former church in Red Square in Moscow, Russia. This was the second item on my list after visiting Vladimir Iljich... I spent one day in the city center in May 2011.
A Vaszilij Blazsennij székesegyház Moszkvában a Vörös téren. Moszkvában töltött napom a téren kezdtem, és Vlagyimir Iljics után ez volt sorban a második látnivaló, amit felkerestem 2011. májusában.
Saint Basil's Cathedral is a former church in Red Square in Moscow, Russia. The building, now a museum, was built from 1555–61 on orders from Ivan the Terrible and commemorates the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. The original building contained eight side churches arranged around the ninth, central church; the tenth church was erected in 1588 over the grave of venerated local saint Vasily (Basil). The building is shaped as a flame of a bonfire rising into the sky, a design that has no analogues in Russian architecture. Although the side churches are arranged in perfect symmetry, the cathedral as a whole is not. The larger central church was deliberately offset to the west from the geometric center of the side churches, to accommodate its larger apse on the eastern side. As a result of this subtle calculated asymmetry, viewing from the north and the south presents a complex multi-axial shape, while the western facade, facing the Kremlin, appears properly symmetrical and monolithic. Inside the composite church is a labyrinth of narrow vaulted corridors and vertical cylinders of the churches. The largest, central one, the Church of the Intercession, is 46 meters tall internally but has a floor area of only 64 square meters. The foundations, as was traditional in medieval Moscow, were built of white stone, while the churches themselves were built of red brick (28×14×8 centimeters), then a relatively new material - the church boasts a diversity of three-dimensional architectural elements executed in brick.
England's Finest Medieval Village.
Discover Lavenham; England's finest medieval village and food capital of Suffolk.
Lavenham has wonderful places to stay, restaurants and pubs with excellent food and interesting shops and galleries.
An ideal place to stay for a short break to explore Suffolk's countryside and coast.
Lavenham is a village and civil parish in Suffolk, England. It is noted for its 15th century church, half-timbered medieval cottages and circular walk. In the medieval period it was among the 20 wealthiest settlements in England. Currently, it is a popular day-trip destination for British people from across the country and Americans from the air bases of Lakenheath and Mildenhall, along with another historic wool town in the area, Long Melford.
For four centuries, Lavenham made its fortune from the wool trade, selling blue broadcloth, 'Lavenham Blues' - everywhere from Africa to the Baltic. By 1524, the town, its population just 2,000, was 14th richest in England, ahead of York and Lincoln.
The church of St. Peter & St. Paul, Lavenham. A very grand parish church dating from the 15th Century it was paid for by several rich Lavenham clothiers and the Lord of the Manor. It was built on the site of an earlier church and the present building is of the late perpendicular style.
With the Church Tower clearly visible on the Suffolk Skyline, this church can be seen for miles around. Once a year it is open to the public. Well worth climbing the 200 steps to the top!
An ideal place to start a historic Potter trail, the medieval town of Lavenham was where it all began for Harry Potter in the Deathly Hallows, after deciding it had an "ethereal" quality. Lavenham stars as Harry’s childhood village of Godrick’s Hollow - the scene where his parents fell foul to the Dark Lord, and the epic battle began.
Starburst? Art deco? Not sure. This is a light fixture in the lobby of the shabby apartment building I live in. Built in the1920s, the place has seen better days, but this lovely decoration remains.
Opened prior to 1926, with a seating capacity listed at 450 at that time. The theater was flooded during the spring 2019 Missouri River floods, submerging at least part of all of the seats as well as damage from standing water to the lobby and restrooms. It sounds like there is some concern over structural damage as with many other buildings in downtown Hamburg from having standing water for an extended period of time, but as of early 2026 the theater will still open.
