Built in the 16th century, Morelia is an outstanding example of urban planning which combines the ideas of the Spanish Renaissance with the Mesoamerican experience. Well-adapted to the slopes of the hill site, its streets still follow the original layout. More than 200 historic buildings, all in the region's characteristic pink stone, reflect the town's architectural history, revealing a masterly and eclectic blend of the medieval spirit with Renaissance, Baroque and neoclassical elements. Morelia was the birthplace of several important personalities of independent Mexico and has played a major role in the country's history.
Built in 1626, Ye Olde Whyte Lyon is an historic community pub that has truly stood the test of time thanks to a winning combination of beautiful beer, great pub food and friendly service.

With the California Gold Rush, settlements sprung up rapidly where none existed before. French Corral was one of these. In these hastily constructed camps though, fires were an ongoing problem, often razing settlements to the ground, many more than once.
Banks ended up needing to engage stonemasons to build fireproof buildings to gain the confidence of their customers. This Wells Fargo Express is an excellent example of these fireproof constructions, not just the switch from wood to brick, but also the iron doors and shutters they used. Wells Fargo pretty much had a presence in every mining community in California, with not just banking, but before railroads reached California, freight and express services too.
In many cases, their building remains the only real evidence that a gold rush town even existed. This one would have sat beside hotels, saloons, a hardware store, and a post office, all made from wood or canvas. Now, it stands largely alone, like a farm building rather than part of a town. Appropriately, I took this picture during fire season and the entire sky is a haze from grass fires close by.
Wells Fargo was founded in 1852, and this building was constructed the very next year.
One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Treasured".
While I initially thought I wouldn't have a lot of options for this theme (because I don't really 'treasure' a lot of old items - apart from my lenses...) it turned out there were a few after all. This is an old perforator that belonged to my wife's grandfather. I don't know the exact age but it could have been made anywhere from the 30s to the 50s and it still works perfectly fine even though it was probably used heavily every day for decades in it's earlier years. It's really well constructed, quite heavy and mounted on a beautiful wooden plate. It might not have got any monetary value but for us it certainly is a kind of treasure nonetheless!
The longer side of the image is around 6.5 cm!
BTW. for anyone interested in these things: This is taken with a lens probably the same age than the perforator! The Perigraphe is a really interesting lens design from the French manufacturer "Som Berthiot" and while it is certainly not a fast lens (wide open at F 14) I feel like it has a really nice rendering and it features a wide image circle!

Built in 1935-1937 as a “make work” project during the Great Depression, the Borden Bridge over the North Saskatchewan River on Highway 16 was in its day, at 250 metres long, “the longest bow-string arch bridge in North America at construction. Laborers were paid 35 cents an hour during construction, and 50 cents if they brought a horse.”
www.bordensask.ca/p/borden-bridge
The old Borden Bridge was closed to traffic in 1985 when a new vehicle bridge was opened. The old bridge is still open to the public for foot traffic.
Built in 1974, the sign became known as the “gateway to the Cross”, featuring on music videos, TV, famous photographs and as a landmark meeting point.
Considered the largest billboard in the Southern Hemisphere at 41 metres long and 13 metres high, the sign is comprised of two sides – the right being the traditional red and white Coca-Cola sign and the left being a flex-faced sign that’s used to display the latest Coke campaigns.

Zhibiani is the part of Ushguli where most of the touristic infrastructure is. But it still consists mostly of stone houses and towers and small paths for people and horses.
Similarly built to Mercat Crosses found across Scotland, the Culross iteration dates back to the 17th century. Though rebuilt in 1902 to preserve its integrity, the cross marks the heart of the town. Its cubical head has four distinctive sides, including the Culross coat of arms, the initials and coat of arms of its restorer, and a monogram for King James VI, alongside a unicorn – Scotland’s national animal.
Edwards Place, built in 1833 and remodeled in 1857, is an historic house museum that tells the story of social and domestic life in Abraham Lincoln's Springfield, Illinois. Restored in 2015 to its antebellum glory, this Italianate mansion was one a center for social activity in Springfield. Prominent citizens and politicians such as Lincoln, Stephen A. Douglas, David Davis, and numerous governors, judges, lawyers, and politicians were entertained at lavish dinner parties and the grounds played host to many summer picnics and political rallies.
Edwards Place was the home of attorney Benjamin Edwards, youngest son of Governor Ninian Edwards and brother-in-law of Mary Lincoln’s sister Elizabeth. Although the Lincolns did not court or marry here, Edwards Place is currently home to the "courting couch" on which Lincoln and Mary Todd sat during the early days of their romance, originally the property of Ninian Edwards.
Edwards Place has been owned and operated by the Springfield Art Association, a private, non-profit visual arts organization, since 1913. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.
Built on the foundations of a previous church, itself built in 1739. In 1898, Andrew Smith of Whitchester and Cranshaws, employed George Fortune, a Duns architect, to prepare plans to rebuild the structure. According to C E Eddy, Minister of the parish until 1982, "Mr Fortune was a man of advanced ideas and employed materials and designs that were ahead of his time." Thus, the combination of whinstone, sandstone and cement-faced aggregate and the intricate detailing of an essentially simple design. Inside, the tablet above the N door containing the Royal coat of arms is reputed to date from before 1473. Some say that in 1595, James VI rode from Yester to worship unannounced at the old church in Cranshaws (now ruinous). During the service, the flustered minister forgot to offer the customary prayer for the King. Appalled by such forgetfulness, James instructed that the Royal Arms be erected within the church as a constant reminder to the minister to offer prayers to the Sovereign.
Close examination shows that the figurative springers are arranged in pairs, the faces supposedly representing different classes of people - a lord and his lady, the minister and his wife, and so on

Kojori Fortress was built atop Azeuli Mountain, at a height of 1,250 metres above sea level. According to historians, the fortress was constructed sometime during the 11th century. Built in multiple layers atop the cliffs, this fortress once protected the caravan road connecting Tbilisi to Armenia, and was of immense strategic importance during the Middle Ages.
Korjoli Fortress was built of crushed stone and brick, and was plastered with thick mortar. Today, only the ruins of the walls and two of its towers remain, but these ruins speak to numerous battles and sieges over the centuries. The ruins afford visitors a beautiful view of Kartli’s wide-open spaces.
The last battle to take place at Kojori Fortress took place in 1921, when the 11th Army of the Russian Red Army faced Georgian cadets. A memorial in honour of these fallen cadets stands there today.
In addition to its historical value, Kojori is also a spectacular place for relaxing in nature, having a picnic, and doing a little light hiking in the nearby forest. This region, once the summer residence of kings, is today open to the public to enjoy.
It was built in a strategic location in the middle of the Netherlands, where the Maas and Waal rivers come together (just west of current day villages Poederoijen and Brakel, in the municipality of Zaltbommel, in Gelderland). At first it was a simple square brick building, used to charge toll from trading vessels using the rivers. In the 16th century (around 1575, orders given by William the Silent) it was expanded to a larger fortress surrounded by earthen fortifications with two (later three) stone bastions on the northern side, two moats, an arsenal, and housing for a commander and soldiers.
It changed hands twice between the Northern Dutch and the Spanish (December 9, 1570 it was taken by the Geuzen, ten days later Spanish again, and from June 25, 1572 Dutch till this day), the warring parties of the day. The castle soon (from 1619) became a prison for political prisoners. One famous inmate was the eminent lawyer, poet and politician Hugo de Groot (Hugo Grotius) often presented as the "father of modern international law", who was serving a controversially imposed life sentence from 1619. In 1621 Hugo de Groot managed to pull off a daring escape in a book chest. The idea for this escape came from his wife Maria van Reigersberg (also living in the castle). He subsequently became the Swedish Ambassador to France for 10 years. Another high profile inmate was the English Vice-Admiral George Ayscue.

These clinker built skiffs are just left to rot on the marshes, just across the river from BAE systems in Barrow in Furness.
I have done this in sepia to add the aged look.
1935 French built Ford convertible by Matford.
The Matford Company was the result of a joint venture between the US-based Ford Motor Company and the French-based Mathis S.A. Created in 1934, Matford sales progressed from 1,049 in 1935 to 8,898 in 1938 before falling to less than half that number as the company focused on producing trucks for the French Army and slow the German advance.

Built in 2017 and seen here vacating Runway 26L at London Gatwick (LGW) having arrived from Shanghai (PVG) as CES202.
This plane was built with ores that came from the earth. Slowly the smelted metals are breaking down and being re-absorbed into Mother Earth. 73 years it has survived here, so far. The white shiny metals in the background are mostly as shiny, almost mirror like, as the day they were made, the rest is breaking down just like rusting is dissolving into grains as you can see bottom left of the picture.
There are parts big and small scattered over a large area. The remaining big chunks are the undercarriage and the engines. But there are sections of 'skin' metal I found hundreds of yards to the north. They might have been carried by souvenir hunters, and put down when they got fed up carrying them, but those I saw I suspected were blown there by the wild winds that I'm sure will frequently blast the top of Bleaklow. But if someone wants a challenge, see if you can identify what part of the aircraft this is. This might help you www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=ueBW5vp... But not much! PS. I don't have the answer!
Doing what it was built for, Worsdell designed NER J27 0-6-0 no.65894 heads through "Rabbit Bridge", Kinchley Lane with a "Windcutter" mineral goods train.
