The first fortified structure was not built on the island until the early 13th century as a defensive measure, protecting the lands of Kintail against the Vikings who raided, settled and controlled much of the North of Scotland and the Western Isles between 800 and 1266. From the mid 13th century, this area was the quite seperate “Sea Kingdom” of the Lord of the Isles where the sea was the main highway and the power of feuding clan chiefs was counted by the number of men and galleys or “birlinns” at their disposal. Eilean Donan offered the perfect defensive position
Built in 2000 for Arkia as 4X-BAW and seen here on short final for RWY26L at London Gatwick (EGKK/LGW) arriving as ICE6YH from Reykjavik (BIKF/KEF).
Built for the second War Zone over on Guild of Historica on Eurobricks! Story will be available there soon. Enjoy!
Built around 1865, the 20 stamp mill ran until 1875. For a while it was the primary mill for the mines of Ione. In the 1890's the machinery was moved to the (still standing) mill at Berlin, where it can be viewed as one of the main exhibits of Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Historical Park.
To the left of the ruined wall, and across Ione Valley is Paradise Peak in the Paradise Range.
Built circa 1300 and from this period until the 18th century it was owned by the Basset family, located near Cowbridge South Wales
The church was built in 1747-1762 according to the project of the architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli on Andriyivska Gora in memory of the visit of Empress Elizaveta Petrovna to Kyiv, on the site of the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross, which was built in 1215 and existed until the beginning of the 17th century.
Drawings by B. F. Rastrelli were found in the graphic collections of the Albertina Museum in Vienna. In 1974-1987, a complete restoration of the church was carried out on the basis of these drawings.
The single-domed church building with a five-headed finish has the shape of a cross (31.5-22.7 m), in the corners of which are placed decorative towers on massive pillars, which play the role of a kind of buttresses placed diagonally across the building.
The contrast between the massive central chapter and the exquisite corner baths directs the movement of the silhouette of the church upwards.
The outer buttresses are decorated with pilasters and covered by three pairs of columns with capitals of the Corinthian order. The height of the church is 46 m, with a cross - 50 m; length – 30 m, width – 23 m.
Церква збудована у 1747-1762 роках за проектом архітектора Франческо Бартоломео Растреллі на Андріївській горі на згадку про відвідування Києва імператрицею Єлизаветою Петрівною, на місці Хрестовоздвиженської церкви, яка була збудована у 1215 році і проіснувала до початку XVII ст.
У 1974-1987 роках було здійснено повну реставрацію церкви на підставі виявлених у графічних зборах віденського музею «Альбертіна» копій авторських креслень Б.-Ф. Растреллі.
Будівля церкви однокупольна з п'ятиголовим завершенням має форму хреста (31,5-22,7 м), у кутах якого розміщені декоративні вежі на масивних стовпах, які відіграють роль своєрідних контрфорсів, що розміщені по діагоналі споруди.
Контраст між масивною центральною главою та вишуканими наріжними банями, спрямовує рух силуета церкви угору.
Зовні контрфорси прикрашені пілястрами та прикриті трьома парами колон із капітелями коринфського ордера. Висота церкви – 46 м, з хрестом – 50 м; довжина – 30 м, ширина – 23 м.
Екстер'єр вражає багатством декору. Стіни та барабани бань розчленовані по вертикалі пілястрами й колонами корінфського (перший ярус) та іонічного (другий ярус) ордерів. Цоколь, стіни і барабани бань завершуються карнизами складного профілю. На фронтонах розміщено чавунні картуші з монограмою імператриці Єлизавети Петрівни. Мальовничість фасадів підкреслює яскраве розфарбування: на бірюзовому тлі виділяються білі колони, пілястри, карнизи, сяють позолотою чавунні капітелі, картуші, по гранях темно-зеленої бані звиваються золочені гірлянди.
Баня церкви діаметром 10 метрів поділена на 8 сегментів, з круглими вікнами-люкарнами з розкішним позолоченим ліпленням, яке обрамовує вікна-люкарни й прикрашає баню.
Слово люкарна походить від латинського слова lucerna (у перекладі світильник) або французького lucarne (у перекладі: світловий люк). Люкарна на початку свого поширення в Європі (15…17 століття) вважалася ознакою багатства і її намагалися якнайкраще оформити за допомогою ліпнини, позолоти, лиштви, мозаїки, фамільними гербами.
My village is mainly brick-built, and even the roofing tiles, at least for the older buildings, are made from clay. The reason is that slate became fashionable only in the 19th century, long after these buildings were erected. Larger rooms used to have their individual fireplace and, hence, their own chimney.

Jordan, en route to Petra. A city built symmetrically around a temple. One road into the city, one road out. I do note a lack of park lands also I suspect there is a camel in the shot somewhere. Every house we passed in this land seemed to own at least one camel. I was warned off taking pictures of people a number of times. Not an area I would care to revisit but grateful we had the unique opportunity to visit it once. It is a rare experience to touch land that dates back to Jesus. The furthest we go back in North America is buying a hamburger at the original McDonald's Restaurant in San Bernardino, California.
Anyway - back to camels - let me know if you spot one.
I really like that series title Joe O'Malley (www.flickr.com/photos/64joe/) gives to many of his pictures. Very adequate. I hope you won't mind me borrowing it! Last Friday I decided to finally do that walk from Frankfurt to Mainz. All together well over 40 kilometers, and doing that under such hot weather turned out to be as stupid an idea as it sounds. Until the Schwanheimer Düne it's a quite a nice walk. From there until the mouth of the Main well, if you're looking for 2022 top Minimal Tourism destination, don't look any further! Not worth a second time. These here are the jet fuel tanks in Raunheim, seen from the Ölhafenbrücke.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
Built circa 1900. Early pioneer, King S. Francis came to Wallowa County, Oregon in 1886 and this was one of his many properties. Family members Leon and Lora Mawhin inherited this property and it has been passed down to the fourth generation. Grandfather Leon raised cattle, always had a lush crop of hay and irrigated the entire property by hand. Grandmother Lora grew a beautiful garden, raised chickens and sold eggs and cooked all the meals on an old wood cook stove. This being the way of life back then and the ranch today looks much like it did back then. *The Wallowa Barn Tour.
The Library of Celsus was built in Ephesus to honor the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, as well as to serve as his tomb.
Built at Saint Sylvestre-sur-Lot in the middle-ages, the Chateau is marked by more than 700 years of history.
Originally a fortified farm, the property has evolved with its successive owners. During the 16th and 17th centuries building work began to construct new main buildings and towers. In the 18th century the windows were completely redesigned in arch style. In the 19th century, the estate passed via marriage to the Dordaygue family who erected a building at the south side. The whole property was restored in 1992 before becoming a luxury hotel. However, in 2008, the company who ran the hotel went into liquidation and the estate fell into a state of neglect.
A new lease of life has been given to the chateau by Philippe Ginestet, local man and owner director of the Gifi group. In 2011 he purchased the estate and, with his friend and architect Jacques Bru, decided to create a unique hotel complex. Several months of work was necessary to get their audacious architectural project up and running and thus give birth to this exceptional place.
Gebouwd in Saint Sylvestre-sur-Lot in de middeleeuwen, wordt het kasteel gekenmerkt door meer dan 700 jaar geschiedenis.
Oorspronkelijk een versterkte boerderij, is het pand geëvolueerd met zijn opeenvolgende eigenaren. Tijdens de 16e en 17e eeuw begon men met de bouw van nieuwe hoofdgebouwen en torens. In de 18e eeuw werden de ramen volledig opnieuw ontworpen in boogstijl. In de 19e eeuw ging het landgoed via huwelijk over op de familie Dordaygue die een gebouw aan de zuidkant liet bouwen. Het hele pand werd in 1992 gerestaureerd voordat het een luxe hotel werd. In 2008 ging het bedrijf dat het hotel runde echter in liquidatie en raakte het landgoed in een staat van verwaarlozing.
Het kasteel is nieuw leven ingeblazen door Philippe Ginestet, lokale man en eigenaar-directeur van de Gifi-groep. In 2011 kocht hij het landgoed en besloot samen met zijn vriend en architect Jacques Bru een uniek hotelcomplex te realiseren. Er waren enkele maanden werk nodig om hun gedurfd architecturaal project op de rails te krijgen en zo deze uitzonderlijke plek te laten ontstaan.
Built in 1837 in Oatlands, Tasmania. The windmill had it's sails restored in 2010, having lost them in a storm way back in 1909.
Built to be the Pennsylvania State House, the building originally housed all three branches of Pennsylvania's colonial government. The Pennsylvania legislature loaned their Assembly Room out for the meetings of the Second Continental Congress and later, the Constitutional Convention. Here, George Washington was appointed Commander in Chief of the Continental Army in 1775. The Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were both debated and signed inside this building. The tower you see today dates to 1828 when the city hired architect William Strickland to restore the original steeple. Strickland deviated from the original design, incorporating a clock and additional ornamentation.

The sun sets on an old East London boozer, a metaphor for the inept government /Covid-19 crisis and the fact that many of these old gems will never re-open.
Bloody wheelie bins, and the pub is off the vertical, not me !

Built as a replica of Kilkenny Castle in Ireland and made of limestone, the 100,000 square foot building was intended to be the main residence of the estate. However, it did not suit the builder. Howard Gould's wife. The couple then decided to build Hempstead House (see preceding picture) across a large open green (except for a few trees). Castle Gould then served as the stable, carriage house and servants' quarters. It is now a Visitor's Center.
Also known as the Gould-Guggenheim Estate

Originally built as a private residence in 1917, Filoli was opened to the public in 1975 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The property is considered one of the finest remaining country estates of the 20th century, featuring a 54,000+ square-foot Georgian revival-style mansion, 16 acres of exquisite English Renaissance gardens, a 6.8-acre Gentleman’s Orchard, and a nature preserve with eight miles of hiking trails.
Filoli is dedicated to connecting our rich history with a vibrant future through beauty, nature and shared stories, so that one day all people will honor nature, value unique experiences, and appreciate beauty in everyday life. Filoli's mission and vision strive to live Mr. Bourn's original credo authentically: to fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, and live a good life.
Filoli is owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and operated by the Filoli Center.
Built in 1859, this structure spent most of its life, and initially as an active Naval installation. Its purpose in WW2 was defending the Portsmouth docks, with life on the site quite grim. It's alleged that the troops chosen to work on there were deliberately picked for their inability to swim, drastically reducing the attempts to escape.
It was decommissioned in the mid 1950s, and failed to be sold shortly afterward, finally being declared a Scheduled Monument in 1967.
In 1982 it was sold to become a museum.
It was also used for a couple of TV programs on British tv, as well as a couple of raves and dance parties.
In 2009 it was sold again, to become a luxury hotel. A friend of mine stayed there during its time as a hotel.
The pandemic curtailed its use as a hotel, and in June 2024, it was sold.
Its future purpose is not yet known.
Ruined and doomed, former factory/workshops where once there was pride and ingenuity.

"Built an opera house for you in the deepest jungle
And I walked across its stage, singing with my eyes closed
I've got a love for you I just can't escape
All of my love for you cuts me like barbed wire
Ooh, I was meant to love you
And always keep you in my life
Ooh, I was meant to love you
I knew I loved you at first sight"

Built in 1874, this unique brick mixed-use corner store building features extensive brick corbeling at the roofline, a thin profile, lots of decorative brick details including an arch over the side door, which was once the only entrance to the apartments in the building, and an iron fire escape. The building has since been painted in a color scheme to accentuate its features, and has been entirely converted into apartments, with the retail space at the corner of Maryland Avenue and Patton Street having been mostly filled in. The building is located in Covington’s Austinburg neighborhood, and is a contributing structure in the Austinburg Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

The lovely colours and markings of this Cheetah are well seen in this photograph taken within the Masai Mara National Park.
Built in 1907 and has an interior that is very similar to the style that the Titanic was finished in. Hope that this will open once again for tours so that I can see the inside.
Originally built in 1637 by Guillaume Bautru, Comte de Serrant, the building was a private mansion designed by the architect Louis le Vau. In 1652, it was sold to Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Louis XIV's famous minister, and then to Philippe d'Orléans in 1719.
In 1806, it was occupied by the State Debt Fund, until it was sold in 1825. The mansion was then demolished to make way for the current building and the opening of the Galerie Colbert in 1828, which was to compete with the Galerie Vivienne.
Under Louis-Philippe, a novelty shop called ‘Au Grand Colbert’ opened its doors.
The name was retained until 1900, when it was converted into a restaurant.
A scene in "Something's Gotta Give" was filmed here.
