The Skierri - Fell Lapland Nature and Culture Centre at Enontekiö.
In the spring of 2007, the Vuovjjuš - Wanderers exhibition was opened at the Skierri - Fell Lapland Nature and Culture Centre. The exhibition introduces the nomadic Sami culture and the special character of the natural world in the North. The reindeer has the leading role in the wonderful exhibition, as it represents the relationship between the local people and the wildlife. In the land of fells and rivers, animals and people alike move according to their sources of livelihood and traditions.
The nomadic Sami exhibition has been organized by the Sami Museum Siida and Johtti Sápmelaččat association. Metsähallitus has been responsible for the extension work to the building, the organization of various wildlife, history, hiking, and children’s exhibitions, and the alteration of the Yrjö Kokko library. This centre is a thing to do for visitors in the area.
A worker installing some new details on an old apartment building on 49th Street between 9th and 8th Avenues.
CHRIST CHURCH, Summerfield (Summerfield Cres. and Gillot Rd.), was built as a memorial to George Lea, Perpetual Curate of St. George's, Edgbaston, 1864-83. It is a building of stone in the Perpendicular style, with apsidal chancel, nave, aisles and transepts, designed by J. A. Chatwin. It was consecrated in 1885, a parish being assigned from St. John's, Ladywood, in the same year. Part of the parish was transferred to St. Augustine's, Edgbaston, in 1906. (fn. 48) The living, a vicarage since 1885, was in the gift of the Vicar of St. John's, Ladywood, for the first turn, and then of the bishop until 1905, when the Rector of Birmingham became patron. (fn. 49) The City Road mission room, opened in 1896, was transferred to the parish of St. Augustine, Edgbaston, in 1906. Old School Hall, Coplow Street, has been licensed for public worship since 1908, and Cavendish Road Hall since 1914. (fn. 50)
Style "néo-gothique" qui serait signé Jean Falp, mais je n'ai pas pu vérifier. Décidémment, ce quartier est plein de surprises.
This is one of the buildings in "downtown" Mapleton. I liked its architecture and loved the red tree across the street. Again with the annoying power lines, though. Oh well.
This was my first stop in my new Oregon Towns Project.

From Wikipedia.org:
Enkhuizen is a municipality and a town in the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland and the region of West-Frisia.
Enkhuizen was one of the harbour-towns of the VOC, just like Hoorn and Amsterdam, from where overseas trade with the East Indies was conducted. It received city rights in 1355. In the mid-17th century, Enkhuizen was at the peak of its power and was one of the most important harbour cities in the Netherlands. However, due to a variety of reasons, notably the silting up of the harbours, Enkhuizen lost its position to Amsterdam.
Nowadays, Enkhuizen continues the maritime tradition and has one of the largest marinas of the Netherlands. It is also the location of the Zuiderzeemuseum, an open-air museum reflecting life in the villages around the Zuiderzee throughout history. Most of the buildings in the museum come from other locations in the Netherlands, such as Purmerend and Amsterdam.
Industrially, Enkhuizen is home to a number of seed production companies, as well as a plastics factory. Tourism, however, is one of the most important businesses as large parts of the inner city are still intact. This includes two magnificent 15th century churches, the largely intact 17th century city walls, gates and tower (the Drommedaris, see picture) and the 17th century city hall.
I really like this view of midtown Atlanta from the bridge over the downtown connector looking north along Peachtree. With the trees lining the street and the long line of sight - long for Atlanta that is - it has the makings of a grand boulevard.
There are plans to develop this overpass to create a street scene that, in some respects, will reunite Midtown and Downtown, rent from one another by the freeway decades ago. Maybe in the years to come we can repair the damage done by the interstate highway system to other parts of our city.
One of the buildings in Greater Shanghai Plan. ROC engineers planned to make Wujiaochang at first, but after WWII, the plan was not continued to finish. After 1949, PRC set Shanghai Government in Huangpu District, no matter it's along the Bund or near the People's Square.
