Ananda Bharatii is a Master Unit in County Clare, Southern Ireland.
Set in the beautiful Irish country side this wonderful working farm has been nurtured from a few battered old buildings and muddy ground, into a retreat centre with running heated water and compost toilet by the determined and sustained effort of Didi Anandaprama.
Didi has also built a poly tunnel, outhouse and has planted indiginous fruits, vegetables and trees ready for harvesting.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary of Mexico City is the largest and oldest cathedral in the Americas and seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico. It is situated atop the former Aztec sacred precinct near the Templo Mayor on the northern side of the Plaza de la Constitución in downtown Mexico City. The cathedral was built in sections from 1573 to 1813 around the original church that was constructed soon after the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlán, eventually replacing it entirely. Spanish architect Claudio de Arciniega planned the construction, drawing inspiration from Gothic cathedrals in Spain.

I went out yesterday evening to check the mail and saw how beautiful the sky looked. The apartment buildings are kinda boring but, with the clouds, I thought it made an interesting image.
An armored military vehicle is passing by the Foreign Ministry building (or as we say here: le Ministère des Affaires Etrangères).
This folder is from an old hotel in my town (built in 1912) that was recently demolished. I was able to wiggle my way inside through one door, a window, and a small hole between some cinder-blocks you see pictured. I had earlier lamented that the beautiful old building would be torn down, but when I finally got inside I realized why. Except for a few rooms in the front, the building is entirely gutted from rot. The remaining wood is so black it looks like there had been a fire (however, upon research I learned that there was no fire, it was just pure rot). Most of the back roof was collapsed and the 3rd floor was in the basement. I myself accidentally visited the basement when part of the first floor gave way. I'm still sad to see the building go, but I now fully understand why it was impossible salvage.
Oh my wee sore back and my wet feet....but got to keep on slabing !....omly another 60 odd to go, plus my little square in the middle, still not sure what I will do with the square

Romerberg(羅馬人之丘廣場)
Romerberg(羅馬人之丘廣場)位於Frankkfurt(法蘭克福)的老中央廣場，是Frankkfurt(法蘭克福)市中心內唯一存有中世紀街道風貌的廣場，自12世紀以來開發成為市民集會、審判或看馬術競技的場所。廣場西北角叫羅馬廳的三個連棟的哥德式樓房，其特色是樓頂的人字型山牆，山牆面建築組成上有鷲的家紋及四尊皇帝塑像，雕塑時間為19世紀，可以說是Frankkfurt(法蘭克福)的象徵，如今作為Rathaus(市政廳)，裡面的Kaisersaal(皇帝殿)是過去神聖羅馬帝國皇帝加冕儀式的地方。正對著市政廳的是一排半木造房舍，當地人稱作東列建築，是深具德國特色的木造屋，經過市政府的修復之後更加美輪美觀。

One of the finest Baptist churches in Europe. Visitors are advised to check opening times in advance.
The Baptist Cathedral Of Europe
The Church has been part of the Paisley sky-line for a 100 years and is sometimes called the Baptist Cathedral of Europe. The spiritual home of a broad-based congregation in the Baptist tradition, the Church is primarily a place of worship, prayer, music and the preaching of the gospel. As such it offers a welcome to all who come through its great oak doors.The beauty of the building speaks its own silent message. There is the intricate beauty of the wood carvings and the spaciousness and symmetry of the sanctuary with its vaulted roof and cruciform shape. Marble, alabaster and mosaics abound. The building, in red sandstone, is Gothic in design, topped with a crown spire rising to more than 60 metres above ground-level.

The Old House of Keys in Castletown - part of the Tynwald, the Isle of Man Government, the House of Keys met in this purpose-built building from 1821 until 1874, when it followed other Government offices and departments and moved to Douglas. It is preserved by Manx Heritage as it would have appeared in 1866; this was a momentous period in Manx History when the House of Keys became directly elected and the Island embraced democracy.
The House of Keys has had 24 members since the 16th Century (the word 'Keys' is thought to be an abbreviation/corruption of the House's Manx Gaelic name 'Yn Chiare as Feed', meaning 'The four-and-twenty'). Members of the House of Keys, or MHKs, are mostly Independents although three of the current incumbents are affiliated to Liberal Vannin, the Manx Liberal Party, and one to the Manx Labour Party.
Castletown is dominated by the medieval Castle Rushen, one of the best preserved medieval castles in Europe and ancient home of the Kings and later Lords of Mann. Tynwald, the Manx Government, was based in Castle Rushen by the 1500s and Castletown was the Island's capital until Tynwald moved to Douglas during the 1860s and 1870s.
