These are views of Metz in the province of Lorraine, France taken on 23rd and 24th June, 2010. This is a very beautiful city and very underrated from a tourist point of view.

Designed principally by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, St. Peter's is the most renowned work of Renaissance architecture and one of the largest churches in the world. St. Peter's is regarded as one of the holiest Catholic sites.
By Roman Catholic tradition, the basilica is the burial site of its namesake Saint Peter, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and, also according to tradition, the first Bishop of Rome and therefore first in the line of the papal succession. Tradition and some historical evidence hold that Saint Peter's tomb is directly below the altar of the basilica.
Construction of the present basilica, replacing the Old St. Peter's Basilica of the 4th century, began on 18 April 1506 and was completed on 18 November 1626.

This store opened as Albertsons in the late 1990's in a former K-Mart building. It replaced a smaller older Albertsons nearby. Only Save Mart would use its "bay area banner" Lucky 2 hours north of San Francisco in Ukiah but not an hour south of San Francisco in Salinas.
The Red Road Flats are a high-rise housing complex which lies between the districts of Balornock and Barmulloch in the north east of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. It consists of eight multi-storey blocks. Two are "slabs", much wider in cross-section than they are deep. Six are "points" — more of a traditional tower block shape. The slabs have 25-32 floors, the points 31, and taken together they were designed for a population of 4,700 people. The point blocks are among the tallest buildings in Glasgow at 89 metres (292 ft), second in overall height behind the Gallowgate Twins (109 Bluevale Street/51 Whitevale Street) in Camlachie, but still hold the record for the highest occupied floor level of any building in Glasgow, and the roof of the point blocks are the tallest man made point above sea level within the city boundaries
The C12th tower of San Zeno
San Zeno Maggiore is a remarkable example of the Romanesque style of architecture. It originates in the C5th and was rebuilt in the C9th as a the church of a Benedictine monastry (of which the tower remains). It was later re-constructed in the early C11th and completed in the C13th and C14th centuries.

Outhouse at Copp Chapel. The local squirrels must have wanted to get inside because they have chewed at the top of the door.
A small country church near Wooldridge in central Missouri. The original building must have been destroyed because the small current building sits on a hand-hewn local stone foundation. The current building has modern windows but is covered with "barn quality" corregated siding. The oldest graves in the adjacent cemetery are from the mid nineteenth century. I traveled here because while researching my geneology I discovered that my GGGGrandfather Emanual is buried in that cemetery. I was perplexed to find no stone but rather one for his fourth wife, Elizabeth. The stone was obviously more recent than her death date of 1869. The odd thing is that it does identify her as "wife of Emanuel". So my conclusion is that either my GGGGrandfather fell out of favor with the family or that he actually died and was buried elsewhere. Although there are a few fuzzy lines in his lineage, Emanual was born in 1789 to Swiss-German Mennonites who earlier immigrated to southeastern Pennsylvania. Later he migrated to Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, then into mountains of eastern Tennessee before moving by covered wagon and riverboat into Central Missouri. He was married four times, outliving the first three wives who gave birth of over twenty children.
From Wikipedia,
The 5 storey Montreal City Hall is the work of architects Henri-Maurice Perrault and Alexander Cowper Hutchison, built between 1872 and 1878. Its architecture is in the Second Empire style, also known as Napoléon III-style.
It is located in the center of Old Montreal, facing place Jacques-Cartier, at 275 Notre-Dame Street East. The closest metro station is Champ-de-Mars.

History
It was built between 1872 and 1878 but caught fire in 1922. It was restored by taking as a model the city hall of the French city of Tours.
In 1967, it is from its balcony that Charles de Gaulle, then president of France, gave his speech which ended by the (often famous or infamous) "Vive le Québec libre".
Tiny Geyser MT is in the beautiful Judith Basin. It has quite a few interesting old buildings and lovely mountain views. For being such a small town it seems to be fairly active, and even has a few open businesses and a very large school.
"Geyser was named for the nearby bubbling mud springs. At the turn of the century, the area around Geyser was dominated by the J. B. Long sheep company. Homesteaders, many of them Finnish, came later; often they had been coal miners at Belt and were lured here by offers of free land. Geyser hit its peak about 1920 (Byerly and Byerly). The old town was moved to its present site when the Great Northern was built from Great Falls to Billings and Geyser became a station. In the very early days, it was a stagecoach overnight stopping place on the trail from Lewistown to Great Falls." -centralmontana.com

Earls Barton's church must boast one of the finest examples of earliest pre-Norman architecture in England with it's Anglo-Saxon tower dating to the late 10th-Century.
The tower was originally a nave- tower with it being the church, this was carried on until the present nave was built in the 12th-Century, it was later renovated and in the 13th-Century the chancel was added.
Demolition crews get to work on colonial buildings along Dong Khoi road.'The Pearl of Saigon', the Hotel Majestic was built in 1925 in Art Deco style. It is situated at the corner of Dong Khoi and Ton Duc Thang, near the Saigon River. One old name, two new. One word in a foreign language, two in Vietnamese. Dong Khoi under the French was called Rue Catinat. 'A very French street', a writer who has been living in Saigon since 1954 told me. This was also the most beautiful street in Saigon under the French. Not too wide with only two lanes, but each side packed with many beautiful French-style buildings, shops, cinemas, famous cafes and restaurants. This was the place where the intellectuals, writers, journalists, tourists and the wealthy elite of the city met. His words reminded me that it is not only Hanoi that is 'very French'. Saigon is even 'more French'. Indeed, the South was a French colony, while the North was only considered a protected territory.
