Downtown Granby, Vermont was bustling with activity when I took this photo. The three buildings shown are a chapel/church, a Post Office, and the Town Clerk's office. There also is a schoolhouse just beyond the bend in the road. The town was chartered in 1761, had a population of 52 in 1970, and exploded to 84 as of the 2017 census. Granby was the last of two towns in Vermont to be hooked up to the electric grid, which occurred in 1963.
I saw only one car in the half hour I was at this location. They smiled and waved as they passed. Most of the residents in these small rural towns throughout Vermont and New Hampshire are very friendly. However, that may not be the case in the bordering town of Victory, which I drove through to get to Granby. Victory has a population of 62 as of the last census, and is known for its decades long "Hatfield versus McCoy" type feuds, keeping the local county sheriff busy. Just Google "Victory Vermont feud" for details. Maybe they are friendly to outsiders like me though. I don't know, as I saw no one at all in my drive through Victory. I suspect they may be afraid to go outside. By the way, Victory was the second of the last two towns in Vermont to be hooked up to the electric grid.
This scene looked to me like it was out of the 1800's. Even the main road through town is unpaved. So I thought it was appropriate for a black and white photo.

The Hungarian Parliament Building is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, one of Europe's oldest legislative buildings, a notable landmark of Hungary and a popular tourist destination of Budapest. It lies on the bank of the Danube. It is currently the largest building in Hungary and still the tallest building in Budapest
Das ungarische Parlamentgebäude ist der Sitz der Nationalversammlung von Ungarn, eine der ältesten Regierungsgebäude Europas, ein bemerkenswertes Wahrzeichen von Ungarn und ein beliebtes Touristenziel von Budapest. Es liegt am Ufer der Donau. Es ist derzeit das größte Gebäude in Ungarn und das höchste Gebäude in Budapest.
Portofino has a history buried in myth. The Romans claimed to have founded the town and named it Portus Delphini, or Port of Dolphins, because of the large number that lived in the Tigullian Gulf. Others say it was owned by the Benedictines from the nearby Abbey of San Fruttuoso, and passed into the hands of the Republic of Genoa in 1414.
Whatever the true history, Portofino's natural harbor was originally a base for Genoas merchants and for sailing ships seeking a landing place and refuge. Its proximity to the sea was also of key importance to its inhabitants who based their livelihood on fishing.
Portofino can be reached by ferry from Santa Margherita Ligure, Rapallo, Camogli, Cinque Terre and Genoa. The closest train station is in Santa Margherita Ligure, where there's a bus to Portofino from the station. In summer it's usually very crowded and driving and parking can be difficult.
I found my love in Portofino
Portofino became famous in the 1950s with the song "Love In Portofino" which was written by Leo Chiosso and composed by Fred Buscaglione, and released on 12 May 1958. Fred Buscaglione was also the first singer to perform it
Andrea Bocelli - Love in Portofino:
The wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire
in august moon's surrender to a dust cloud on the rise
wild boys fallen far from glory
reckless and so hungered on the razors edge you trail
because there's murder by the roadside in a sore afraid new world
they tried to break us, looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
wild boys never chose this way
wild boys never close your eyes
wild boys always shine
You got sirens for a welcome there's bloodstain for your pain
and your telephone been ringing wile you're dancing in the rain
wild boys wonder where is glory
where is all you angels now the figureheads have fell
and lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell
they tried to tame you looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
wild boys never chose this way
wild boys never close your eyes
wild boys always shine.
(Wild Boys-Duran Duran)

Bay City's City Hall is a remarkable example of Richardsonian Romanesque landmark built in 1897. The Bay City City Hall Has been preserved and restored to it's current beautiful condition. I have photographed its interior and details several times over the last few years. Some examples are contained in my Bay City album: www.flickr.com/photos/110399462@N02/albums/72157651820670...
