This is another night shot taken of the EuroStaete building in Stadskanaal. This time the side lights are not burning.
Originally built as the minaret to the famous mosque in the mid 10th Century, it was converted into the Bell Tower we now see in the 16th century.

Barn (a.k.a. Horse Barn) (begun c!899)
The barn consists of three major components: a large horse
barn (begun c!899, enlarged by 1915) a cow shed (c!899), and a wash room addition for washing carriages and later
automobiles (after 1916).
The horse barn is a large, rectangular, two story, gable-roofed vernacular board-and-batten frame building built on a rubble stone foundation. The cow shed is a one-story, shed-roofed addition built against the horse barn's west wall. The wash room is a one-story, gable-roofed addition projecting from the horse barn's north wall. Both additions are finished with wall and roof materials matching the horse barn.
The interior is divided into two levels, with a hayloft at the east end and living quarters above the west end. The ground floor was partitioned off to contain tack rooms and storage. The ground floor has been renovated as an auditorium/ orientation center. The barn retains much of its outward appearance as developed over time by c!916.

You have to see this photo in full size (7,302x4,107 pixels) to identify the persons at the stairs directly in front of the Upper Belvedere. This photo was taken with the D800 and the REALLY CHEAP Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 lens that is less than 1/4 of the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8. Do I still need the Nikon lens?
The town hall of Ghent, located at the Butter Market, comprisesf two wings. It was designed by Rombout II Keldermans and Dominicus the Waeghemaekere.
The oldest wing (corner of the Butter Market and the High Gate) is still in the last Gothic flamboyant style built between 1519 and 1539. The façade niches contain the statues of the Counts of Flanders. The nineteen images were added in the late 19th and early 20th century. There are 51 rooms.
The youngest and largest wing is a product of the Renaissance and was built between 1595 and 1618. The façades are characterized by a scholastic application of successive Doric , Ionic and Corinthian columns quarters and pilasters, inspired by the design of the Italian Renaissance - palazzi .
Ghent City Hall includes a block with many other parts. An old cellar (Cardeloet House) is probably from before 1100. The oldest above-ground portion in the middle of the complex dates from 1482. Even Viollet le Duc designed a chimney. There is the Peace Hall where in 1576 the Peace of Ghent was proclaimed.
the woods slowly take over... this house is close to civilization, so, it gets manicures on occasion...

Tim, Kevin, Ashley, and I drove to Mobile, AL for our buddy Van's wedding. I was chastized by some church lady for taking this photo, but like always I'm glad I did.

Mr. and Mrs. Trask purchased a 500-acre estate in Saratoga Springs, New York in 1881. It was adjacent to his fathers property. Yaddo, the name of the estate, is said to have been coined by the Trask's, then three year old daughter, Christina, who amused her father by her mispronunciation of the numerous dark spots on the lawn caused by the towering trees' - rhymes with shadow.
Yaddo - its mansion, guesthouses, and studios are situated among more than four hundred acres of woodland, lake, and gardens. Today, Yaddo (see yaddo.org) is the largest artist-residency program in the United States, entertaining as many as two hundred guests annually (up to thirty-five at a time in the summer and twelve to fifteen in the winter). Guests typically remain for two to eight weeks. Advisory committees of artists review 1,100 applications annually. There are only two rules: studios may not be visited without an invitation, and visitors are admitted to the grounds only between 4 and 10 p.m.
The results of the Trasks' legacy have been historic. John Cheever once wrote that the "forty or so acres on which the principal buildings of Yaddo stand have seen more distinguished activity in the arts than any other piece of ground in the English-speaking community and perhaps the world." Collectively, artists who have worked at Yaddo have won 61 Pulitzer Prizes, 56 National Book Awards, 22 National Book Critics Circle Award, a Nobel Prize, and countless other honors. Many books by Yaddo authors have been made into films. Visitors from Cheever's day include Milton Avery, James Baldwin, Leonard Bernstein, Truman Capote, Aaron Copland, Philip Guston, Patricia Highsmith, Langston Hughes, Ted Hughes, Alfred Kazin, Ulysses Kay, Jacob Lawrence, Sylvia Plath, Katherine Anne Porter, Mario Puzo, Clyfford Still, and Virgil Thomson.
