Dome Saint Salvator of Fulda. The Fulda Dome is the symbol of the city. Inside the cathedral is, inter alia, the tomb of St. Boniface, the first apostle of the Germans. The plans of the cathedral were in 1700 by one of the most important German baroque architects, Johann Dientzenhofer (1663-1726), on behalf of Prince-Abbot Adalbert von Schleifras manufactured. The previous building, the Ratgarbasilika, once the largest basilica north of the Alps, has been razed to the ground in favor of the new cathedral, before in 1704, the construction in the (then current) Baroque style was begun. On August 15, 1712, cathedral was consecrated. The Fulda Cathedral in its internal system is modeled according to the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
The Ratgar Basilica was built in 791-819 in Fulda monastery and named after the builder, the monk Ratgar. The basilica was a Holy Sepulcher over the relics of St. Boniface. It was created after the model of the great Peter's Basilica in Rome and was the largest church building north of the Alps. Construction swallowed so considerable amounts of ressources that Abbot Ratger was expelled from the convent of the monastery.
During the Middle Ages the building structure crumbled more and more, so that the Ratgar Basilica in 1700 was demolished. In its place, the baroque Fulda Cathedral was built by Johann Dientzenhofer over the tomb of Boniface.
Die Ratgar-Basilika wurde zwischen 791 und 819 im Kloster Fulda erbaut und nach dem Baumeister, dem Mönch Ratgar, benannt. Die Basilika war eine Grabeskirche über den Gebeinen des Heiligen Bonifatius. Sie entstand nach dem Vorbild des großen Petersdoms in Rom und war der größte Kirchenbau nördlich der Alpen. Der Bau verschlang so große Mittel, dass Abt Ratger vom Konvent des Klosters vertrieben wurde.
Im Verlaufe des Mittelalters zerfiel die Bausubstanz immer mehr, sodass die Ratgar-Basilika 1700 abgerissen wurde. An ihrer Stelle wurde über der Bonifatiusgruft von Johann Dientzenhofer der barocke Fuldaer Dom errichtet.
Dom St. Salvator zu Fulda: Der Fuldaer Dom ist das Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Im Inneren des Doms befindet sich u. a. die Grabstätte des Hl. Bonifatius, des ersten Apostels der Deutschen. Die Pläne des Doms wurden im Jahr 1700 von einem der bedeutendsten deutschen Barockbaumeister, Johann Dientzenhofer (1663–1726), im Auftrag von Fürstabt Adalbert von Schleifras angefertigt. Der Vorgängerbau, die Ratgarbasilika, einst größte Basilika nördlich der Alpen, wurde zugunsten des neuen Doms niedergelegt, ehe 1704 der Bau im (damals aktuellen) barocken Stil begonnen wurde. Am 15. August 1712 wurde der Dom geweiht. Der Dom zu Fulda ist seinem inneren System nach an den Petersdom in Rom angelehnt.

**Wytheville Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 94001179, date listed 1994-09-30
Roughly bounded by Monroe, Eleventh, Jefferson and Twelfth Sts. and W. Railroad Ave.
Wytheville, VA (Wythe County)
The Wytheville Historic District is located in the center of Wytheville, an incorporated town of slightly over 8,000 population located in Wythe County, Virginia. The approximately 170-acre district is located between 2,260' and 2,320' in elevation and is characterized by gently undulating topography. A small spring-fed stream flows southeast through the center of the district to Reed Creek, a tributary of the New River. The district contains 292 buildings, mostly commercial and residential buildings with an admixture of churches, schools, government buildings, and transportation-related buildings. Of these buildings, 245 are classified as contributing and forty-seven as noncontributing to the historic character of the district. The oldest buildings in the district appear to date to about 1830, although it is possible that some date to the first quarter of the nineteenth century. The most recent contributing buildings date to the early 1940s, and there are buildings in the district constructed as recently as 1994.
115-165 E. Main St. Edith Bolling Galt Wilson Birthplace. Ca. 1845. 139-2. C.
Two-story brick building with a stretcher-bond front elevation, metal-sheathed gable and shed roofs, and an unusual and complicated form. The building consists of three two-story units-- two front-gabled end units flanking a shed-roofed center unit--that share a single parapeted front with a false third story. The front has three shop fronts at street level under a simple cornice, and a second story with 619-sash windows.
Edith Bolling was born in a second-story apartment in 1872 and lived in Wytheville until 1887. Edith's second marriage, in 1915, was to President Woodrow Wilson, and after Wilson's stroke in 1919, she played an unprecedentedly active role in the operations of the executive branch. Edith Bolling Galt Wilson died in 1961. (1)

All is quiet here, on the morning that the Amtrak Capitol Limited would arrive in Connellsville with both a Phase IV and Phase II 40th Anniversary locomotive. I got here early just in case. This station will have an official ribbon-cutting and grand opening on April 29th, though it is already being used.
From what I understand until this renovation began the building had a third storefront on that empty area on the left of the photo
The former Bishop's Palace has been transformed into the main post office building and the public library in the old walled town of Avila.
Heading around Rumbush Lane in Dickens Heath Village, back towards the first roundabout with the clock tower.
The road used to be known as Clay Pit Lane (depending on which map you look at).
Roundabout near Ascote Lane and Cornwood Lane.
The village is relatively new, having been planned and built since the 1990s.
The village reminds me of buildings in Italy or France, especially in the villages over there. So is weird having a village like this in the West Midlands!
Inveraray enjoys a picturesque setting on the shores of Loch Fyne, where it meets Loch Shira. It was built on the site of an earlier fishing village in the mid 1700s by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, Chief of the powerful Clan Campbell. He demolished the original village to give his rebuilt castle more space, and rehoused the population in a new town that is one of the most attractive in Scotland.
The original village of Inveraray stood in the parkland that now extends south east from Inveraray Castle to the main A83. It had grown following the move of the Campbells to "old" Inveraray Castle in the mid 1400s from their previous stronghold at Innis Chonnell Castle on an island in Loch Awe.
Inveraray was well enough established to become a burgh of barony in 1472 and a royal burgh in 1648. With a good natural harbour and lying at a key focal point in the limited road network across Argyll, it had effectively become the legal and administrative centre for the county by the early 1700s. Its development went hand in hand with the growing power of the Campbells and the importance of their seat at Inveraray Castle.
The idea of replacing the 1400s tower house with a modern residence befitting the status and power of the Dukes of Argyll first occurred to the 2nd Duke in 1720. When the 3rd Duke of Argyll succeeded to his title in 1743 he commissioned an architect, and work began in 1745. As part of the project he created open parkland by demolishing the existing village of Inveraray, which stood between the castle and the sea.
The new town of Inveraray was built on a site to the south than its predecessor, out of sight of the castle. The new town had two main elements - Front Street ran almost west from the harbour to a large inn placed near the gates to the park for Inveraray Castle and the very grand Main Street ran parallel with the shore of Loch Fyne and at right angles to Front Street.
This comprised large white-harled buildings on both sides while in its centre it bulged out into Church Square to accommodate the classical bulk of the Glenaray and Inveraray Parish Church, built between 1792 and 1802 by Robert Mylne. This was originally built as a double church, with one half worshipping in Gaelic while the other half worshipped in Scots.
The area between Main Street and Loch Fyne is a warren of small streets, but a large part of it is occupied by Inveraray Jail. To the west, Main Street backs onto The Avenue, now the village's main car park.

On a walk around the city to catch up on what's been happening while I was on Holiday in Australia August 18, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.
There were lot more buildings going up and seems to be more people about. The day wasn't good weather wise for shots as it was very dull and gloomy.

The Stager-Beckwith Mansion is the oldest remaining easily recognizable mansion on the former Millionaire's Row along Euclid Avenue in Midtown Cleveland. Constructed in 1866, it was built Anson Stager, a general superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company. Thomas Beckwith bought the house in 1874, after making a fortune running the Beckwith Sterling Company further down Euclid Avenue in Downtown Cleveland. Though Beckwith died within a few years of moving into the mansion, his family continued to reside there until his widow died in 1900, and it was sold to Charles Brush, whom lived in and kept up the structure in order to ensure it wasn't lost to the increasing commercialization of the corridor. In 1913, the house was sold and converted into the University Club, a private organization that remained in the building until 2002, greatly expanding the structure to the rear, adding a large wing with a large dining room, ballroom, squash courts, and tennis courts. In 2017, the Children's Museum of Cleveland moved into the building, renovating and restoring the structure in order to house their exhibits and programs.
Kingsley Park Terrace
The White Elephant public house was built in 1883 as the Kingsley Park Tavern, a residential club for racing people. When racing ceased it lay empty for 18 years, during which period it acquired the local name of "White Elephant".
Honfleur, Normandy
Completely built of timber. The Normans were descended from Vikings ( hence their name - North men) and there is definitely a sense of the Nordic to me about this church.
The famous "Axe masters" of the naval yards of the city created this lovely building without using any saws, just like their Norman ancestors (who can be seen in action in the Bayeux tapestry), and like the Vikings before them. It was originally started in the 15th century but added onto over the years.
Note the slate covering over the timber beams to keep out the weather.
