Todavía recuerdo las fotos que le saqué a este edificio, recién estrenada mi primera cámara (bueno, mi segunda cámara en realidad, analógica ella :D), una Zenit... El edificio aguanta el ostracismo con sorprendente dignidad, pero el entorno lo he encontrado lamentablemente descuidado...
FALERII NOVI. - Quando nel 241 a. C. i Romani distrussero Falerii (v. falerii veteres) e ne deportarono gli abitanti in località meno forte naturalmente, fu scelto all'uopo un punto a 6 km. dall'antica città oltre il profondo Fosso Maggiore, sulla via Amerina, diverticolo della Flaminia. Questa città ha conservato il vecchio nome leggermente alterato, collegato alla chiesa romanica del XII secolo (della quale si ammirano tuttora le belle rovine), di S. Maria di Fàlleri. La località, abbandonata nel Medioevo, corrisponde alla Falerii Novi romana. La cinta muraria (metà del sec. III) pressoché intatta, di forma trapezoidale, misura 2108 metri di circuito, ed è il più bell'esempio di fortificazione di quel periodo. Da un lato un fiumicello, detto ora Rio del Purgatorio, forma una profonda valle, dall'altro le mura si innalzano sulla pianura e sono visibili dalla linea Roma-Civita Castellana-Viterbo. Si riconoscono circa 50 torri e 9 porte, fra le quali notevoli quelle dette di Giove (ad occidente) e del Bove (a scirocco). L'interno della città fu appena saggiato e meriterebbe una totale esplorazione; vi si segnalarono resti del teatro e del foro; mentre fuori delle mura si riconosce l'area dell'anfiteatro. Notevole è anche la rete stradale che si può riconoscere nel prossimo territorio, con ponti, tra i quali perfettamente conservato quello tra Falerii Novi e Sutri, dalla Via Amerina. In tutti i dintorni e specialmente lungo la strada tra Falerii Novi e Falerii Veteres, vi sono avanzi di tombe monumentali a camera, scavate nella roccia. Fra il 1885 e il 1891 fu rivelato tutto il territorio falisco; ma il lavoro è rimasto sospeso e inedito. Anche dopo il 219 Falerii conservò il suo foedus con Roma, ed ebbe allora come magistrati dei praetores. Dopo la guerra sociale divenne municipio ed ebbe come magistrati supremi i quattuorviri.

There used to be a legendary ballad singer and bagpipe player called Augustin, in the 17th century. One day, after playing in different restaurants of the city, he was so drunk that he fell asleep in the middle of the road. At the time there was an epidemic of the plague, so people thought he was dead and dumped him into a huge mass grave.
After a few hours he woke up and began singing and was found and rescued.
Apparently, he survived the ordeal without being infected by the plague. Legend has it that it was because he was so drunk that the alcohol acted as a disinfectant.

Abandoned since 1998, Penscynor Wildlife Park is one of the few abandoned zoos in the world, that still exists in its entirety, albeit without the animals. The photographs concentrate on documenting the zoo as it is today, and showcases the effects that nature and the ravages of time has had on the former wildlife park.
These photographs, taken in April 2012, showcase the park as it stands today.
Inspiration for some of the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.

Westkapelle staat bekend om haar vuurtorens. De grootste vuurtoren van Westkapelle wordt 'het Hoge licht' of 'het Zuiderhoofd' genoemd. Deze toren kan door het publiek worden beklommen.
De toren het Hoge licht was ooit deel van een gotische kerk, de Sint Willibrorduskerk. Deze is in de achttiende eeuw verwoest door brand. De toren bleef staan en in de negentiende eeuw is hier een vuurbaken op geplaatst om de oude kerktoren te laten fungeren als vuurtoren.
De toren heeft zes verdiepingen en is 52 meter hoog. Nog altijd is de vuurtoren actief en brandt elke avond het licht, dat bij helder weer tot op ongeveer 20 zeemijl (37 kilometer) te zien is.
Ook heeft Westkapelle een kleinere vuurtoren 'het Lage licht' of het 'Noorderhoofd'. Het hoge licht en het lage licht vormen samen een lichtlijn naar het Oostgat.
Westkapelle has two active lighthouses.
The oldest lighthouse, built 1458-1470, 52 m (171 ft) tall, visible from 28 nautical miles (52 km; 32 mi) and standing prominently at the entrance to the village, is the remainder of a church that burned down in the 18th century. In 1818 the light was added to the top.
The other one, standing on the outer slope of the dyke, was built in 1875 of cast iron, is only 16 m (52 ft) tall and has a visibility range of 13 nautical miles (24 km; 15 mi).
Together they form leading lights, that lead vessels coming from the northern part of the North Sea into the narrow and busy shipping lane directly under the south west coast of Walcheren, that brings them into the Scheldt estuary and towards the ports of Flushing, Terneuzen, Ghent (via the Ghent–Terneuzen Canal) and Antwerp.
The building, completed in 1932, is a holiday must-see tradition in Denver. It is dressed for the occasion with over 600,000 low-energy LED lights.
