The Empire State Building is lit navy, purple and yellow in honor of #GivingHero and the Carnegie Medal.
As reported in the Leicester Mercury to-day these buildings are likely to be demolished under plans by the owners to build apartments on the site. They may not look much at first glance but like a lot of places around this area have a long and interesting history. These particular buildings were built in the 19th century and were associated with the leather trade for over 100 years.
I wish I had got a photo of the courtyard which is behind those (rather battered) double doors, as it's very interesting. Maybe I'll get another chance when they start knocking it down!
Too many interesting buildings have been demolished in this area in the last 30 years and while I love some of the new buildings around here I wish that developers would have a bit more imagination and at least try and incorporate some of these buildings into new plans.
This large and somewhat lugubrious building is the Archaeological and National History Museum. It is housed in the former city hall, built between 1912 and 1921. In the foreground are some tombs and tombstones from ancient Tomis, on the site of which the modern city stands.
Supporting the logs while we tear out the bottom courses. This helps the existing chinking and logs from seperating.

Hiroshima is well known for being a delta city, and much of the rivers that flow into it, merge nearby this location, or just out into the ocean.
Photographed here is the A-Bomb Dome and the Motoyasu River near the location that the A-Bomb was aimed for (the river and a bridge that crosses it were the "X" target).
Instead, the bomb exploded 600 meters in the air directly above the building you see here, and was just about the only building left standing for quite some distance.
I was so thrilled when I learned we'd be going INSIDE this building on the tour. The white dot on the door is a "No Smoking" sticker. (This building was almost completely destroyed by arson in 1998.)
