All Saints, Purleigh, Essex
From Mundon, I was planning to cycle back to Hatfield Peveril station rather than Chelmsford, and I pottered westwards to Purleigh.
James Bettley in the revised Pevsner observes cheerily that the church is well-sited on the top of what is, in these parts, a considerable hill. It certainly is. I could see it like a castle from a mile or so off, and entering the pretty village the road began to climb steeply. I slogged on in low gear into what turned out to be a very pretty village, very atmospheric, and the first place I'd visited to day that I could imagine wanting to live.
In the middle of the village is the church. Open. A big church - the first big church since Great Baddow, the first to be open. Entirely East Anglian in style, but built in the Kent fashion from layered flint and greenstone.
The interior full of light, only a few windows all of good quality by AK Nicholson. An unfair comparison after Mundon, of course, but strangely lacking in atmosphere. The hill beyond was even steeper, and I was glad I had approached from the east and not the west. A couple of miles further on brought me to the Chelmsford to Maldon road, and as I crossed it the landscape changed completely - now it was the Essex I remembered from bike rides last year, rich and green, hedgerows, pretty villages and the like.

Stari Most (Old Bridge) and Neretva River in Mostar. No other bridges in the world seem to have the same symbolic meaning of reconciliation. May the peace last.
his was a piece written by Eric Hollerton:
"THE Prince of Wales Tavern stands on Liddell Street, North Shields, between Custom House Quay and the site of Seven Stars Quay.
It is believed that there has been a public house on the site since 1674.
Possibly the Roebuck in earlier years, it was certainly the Prince of Wales in 1842, when it was entered by Walton Emmerson, who also ran a seamen's shipping office there.
About 1851 it was taken by Henry and Lavinia Patterson, who held it until the mid-1860s. In later years they seem to have been at the Waterford Arms in Seaton Sluice.
One of the longest serving licensees was Daniel Bond, whose family occupied the house between 1893 and 1923.
From 1896 to 1959 the Prince of Wales was owned by W R Reid & Co, who sold it to Scottish Breweries in 1959.
In 1966 the magistrates refused to renew the licence.
The building was badly damaged in a fire the following year, and it became a store for J I Marshall.
In 1990 it was acquired by Samuel Smith's of Tadcaster.
It re-opened in 1992, and the brewery celebrated by commissioning a new Wooden Dolly to stand in traditional place on Custom House Quay."
Gebouw Delftse Poort (Gate of Delft Building) is an office complex consisting of two skyscrapers located on Weena 505 next to the Rotterdam Centraal railway station in Rotterdam. The taller tower's (Until May 2009, the highest office in The Netherlands) height is 151 meters 41 floors and the shorter tower's height is 93 metres 25 floors. Both towers are built over a 4-story multifunctional podium which adjoins the Rotterdam central station. The entire complex has 28 elevators. The gross floor area in the complex is 106,000 square metres and the offices occupy 66,000 sq m.
It was constructed between 1989 and 1992. The cost of the construction is 240,000,000 Guilders, or about US$130,000,000. Due to a metro tunnel running underneath the complex, advanced construction methods were required, allowing only a single underground floor to be built. Since the main user of the building is a Dutch Company called 'Nationale Nederlanden' (National Netherlands) the building is also known as 'Nationale Nederlanden building'. Nationale Nederlanden is the local insurance branch of ING Insurance.

The Spanish Revival style theater was built in 1924 and was closed in 1986. After renovation the theater reopened in 2008 for concerts and other live performances. The building is listed on the National Registeer of Historic Places. (854 4th ave)
A residential and commercial neighborhood in Songjiang - 30km from central Shanghai. Most of the houses were bought by investors or people who live in Shanghai during the week and are empty.
Built to resemble an English town, some of the architecture has been directly copied from buildings found in England, including the church (copied from one in Clifton, Bristol) and a pub and fish and chip shop - now closed (copied from buildings in Lyme Regis, Dorset).
At least 80% of the shops are vacant and there are no pedestrians or traffic. However, it is reasonably maintained and a pretty area.
The Magnolia Hotel in Dallas was built in 1921 and was originally the headquarters of the Magnolia Petroleum Company. In 1934, the company erected its trademark neon Pegasus on the roof. The Pegasus later became the logo of Mobil Oil after the companies merged.

One of the main reasons we went to Malta was to check out the connection with Game of Thrones. We took a tour provided by Malta Film Tours. Our guide was Malcolm Ellul. Malcolm was in several episodes in Season 1. The tour was excellent. Malcolm had to rearrange some sights due to the Royal Wedding in London (this caused some buildings to be closed). We had a great time and covered a lot of ground. Most of the photos in this album are directly related to GOT, the other shots are cool things we saw while on the tour. If you have a chance to take this tour, go for it!
I took these photos in May 2018.
