£500 Penalty for dumping rubbish, at the time I didn't notice the writing on the window.
Illicit rubbish dumping is out of control across the UK, perhaps our new Prime Minister could get the ball rolling on that one without making his rich friends even richer :-).

Built for Sir Robert Shirley between 1653 and 1655 in Gothic style, the Chapel of Holy Trinity is the estate church at Staunton Harold, where the Shirleys, their retainers and estate workers lived for generations. It is one of the few churches built between the outbreak of the English Civil War and the Restoration period
Built in 1875, Sassoon docks is one of the oldest in India. It is one of the few docks open to the public. The fishing boats arrive in the morning and the dock bursts with colour and action.
Built in 2021-2022, this Contemporary building was designed by LOHA as part of the City Modern development that has revitalized the formerly decayed Brush Park district with a variety of new housing types. The building features a standing seam metal exterior with red at the exterior and recessed areas clad in black corrugated metal panels, first-floor retail spaces with storefronts, punched window openings, and a tapered facade along Brush Street. The building is one of many contemporary structures in Brush Park that feature bold architecture, yet show deference to the remaining historic structures.
The church building was built from 1660 to 1710. Its construction was begun under the imperial architect Georg Gerstenbrand and the Italian Carlo Lurago. Its famous cupola was built by Jakob Prandtauer from 1708 to 1710. He also designed the current appearance of Melk Abbey. The Maria Taferl church is built in the baroque style with ample amounts of gold leaf and a frescoed ceiling. In the center of the high altar is the namesake Marian stature. The building's rear houses its crypt.
According to an inscription in the building's interior, the building of the church gave the local inhabitants new courage after the Plague, the Turkish Wars, and the Thirty Years' War had all taken their toll. It also supported the ideas of the Counter-Reformation in the heartland of the Catholic House of Habsburg. All this speaks to Maria Taferl as an important manifestation of the Catholic faith on the main traveling route of the Danube.
There are many traditional stories of angelic processions here, which come from the 17th century. The tradition of pilgrimage to Maria Taferl also dates back to that time. In 1760 alone, there were 700 pilgrimage processions and over 19,000 masses said there. The church is also a kind of information treasure chest about its pilgrims, their origins, and their number. Within it are the gifts of the pilgrims, who came on account of illness and were cured. Another reason for Maria Taferl's importance as a pilgrimage destination was the stone cross, a gift from the citizens of Freistadt for pilgrims who died on the journey. It is also evidence of the exhausting nature of pilgrimage in those days. The murdered Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his family lived in the nearby Artstetten Castle and is known to have regularly attended mass at Maria Taferl.
Maria Taferl became a Basilica minor in 1947.
By 2010, the basilica's interior should have undergone a complete restoration. It will then celebrate a double jubilee: 350 years since the laying of its cornerstone in 1660, and 300 years since its completion in 1710. The interior's last restoration was around 50 ago; the exterior was restored in 1982, and in 1998, the domes of the two towers were re-covered.
Besides the basilica, in Maria Taferl there is also a monument for the Fallen of both World Wars. These men are honored annually at meeting of veteran's groups.
There is a folk belief that the water from the well at Maria Taferl can help with eye complaints. - Wikipedia
Built for the Stairway Tales category in the 2024 Summer Joust
This was quite the challenge to build, but super fun and I am quite happy with the results.
Located in the old Venetian Harbor, the Mosque was built on the grounds of a former church which had one nave. No longer functioning as a religious building, it remains the oldest structure from the Ottoman period.
Also known as the Kucjk Hassan Mosque, the building in its current form dates back to the year 1645, when the Turks captured Chania; it is the oldest Ottoman building on the island.
It stopped functioning as a mosque in 1923, and, since then, the venue has been used as a café, a restaurant, and a tourist office over the years. In the recent past, the mosque has been renovated, becoming a space dedicated to exhibitions.
The Janissaries were enslaved non-Muslims (since under Ottoman law, people who had been born Muslim could not be enslaved). The Sultan would choose Janissaries from the promising boys in his realm. Subject to very strict discipline, the Janissaries were extremely skilled soldiers feared by every other member of society. They would wear special uniforms and were paid a high salary as well as a pension upon their retirement.
Built between 1892 and 1897 during the time of the Reichsland Elsass-Lothringen (1870–1918), the church was designed for the Lutheran members of the Imperial German garrison stationed in Strasbourg.
Built in 1891, the Traverse City Opera House became the city's first pubic building with electricity. It closed in 1920, but the 1200-seat Victorian-style auditorium has been restored and is still used for performances.
It is a Michigan Registered Historic Site.

Built as Milwaukee Road SD40-2 #3026, Maine Central #609 (Pan Am) leads HLCX #7014 and train POED passed a loaded coal train with CN #2445 third out. Three locomotives that likely would never have met if it weren’t for the eclectic group of SD40’s Pan Am purchased, and the run through power agreement they have with Norfolk Southern. Most notable out of the three is the #609 which, in late 1975, was painted in Milwaukee Roads 1776 Centennial paint scheme and renumbered to MILW #156. After its long life and retirement on Pan Am, it was purchased by a private company and has been renumbered to BUGX #156. Possible centennial repaint in the future?

The Orange Steps were built in the late Ottoman period. Running parallel to Old Jaffa’s sea wall, the steps were used to lower crates of the famous Jaffa oranges onto the ships that took them to Europe. Nowadays the steps lead from a harbour largely given over to pleasure craft up into a warren of streets impassable to vehicles that climb up the hill to St Peter’s Church.
Jaffa’s sea wall ran right by here until the British reclaimed the land to expand and develop the port. Much of its materials had already been used by the Ottoman’s towards the end of their rule to improve the pier.
Jaffa – haunting, hipster, horrendously crowded; occasionally an infuriating tourist-trap; more often a magical delight, especially when the sun starts setting on the Mediterranean and the light on the Ottoman sandstone becomes magical. Jaffa is a place of contradictions: one of the few genuinely mixed neighbourhoods in Israel and also a site of terrible expulsions of Arabs in 1948; one of Israel’s most Left-leaning districts but completely unaffordable for ordinary people, Arab and Jew alike; part of modern Tel Aviv but somehow grafted out of all the cultures that have made this stretch of the Mediterranean their home back to the Phoenicians.
Each of the four days I was in Tel Aviv I would come down here as the sun got low in the sky and if I lived closer I would go for a walk here most days at sunset. It is magical.
Built in mid 19th century, it consists of the palace, a barn, a chapel-mausoleum and a park.
Now in a bad condition but hopefully it will be soon renovated to its former state.

Built for the Missouri Pacific as MP 1150 in April 1966, this veteran EMD has been switching cars for almost 60 years. The locomotive made it to Union Pacific's roster after the MP-UP merger, but never received a UP number. It was sold as MP 1150 to Precision National Corp in April 1985. PNC turned around and sold the locomotive in December 1986 to Railway Switching Services (Railserve), and the engine has been doing contract switching ever since.

Built for the third round of the RogueOlympics on Roguebricks. After seeing this week’s theme was “Bon apetit”, I knew I had to get an entry in – though I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to build. Then I had an idea for how to make the radish slices, and the rest of the build came together from there.

Built in 1890 as the Lancashire Watch Company warehouse, it would become the factory of the Prescot Watch Company. The unusual shape gives the building its nickname ' Flat Iron Building'.
The original Párisi Udvar (Parisian Court) was built in Budapest 100 years ago as a department store. From 1909, the City Savings Bank occupied the site, which was developed by German architect Henrik Schmahl. The arcade is two stories high, with a vaulted roof made of coloured glass and a striking hexagonal glass dome designed by Miksa Róth. The crystal glass domes of the passage create a special atmosphere. The floors have beautiful mosaic tiles, and there are balconies, and windows with bar tracery, pediments, and sculptures. You can also see reliefs of bees, symbolizing thrift, a reference to the bank that commissioned the construction. Henrik Schmahl sure wasn't in a thrifty mood when he created this masterpiece.
The building is now part of the unbound collection by Hyatt, and the passage is open to the public.

National Trust Properties
Waddesdon Manor, Aylesbury, HP18 0LH, Buckinghamshire
Waddesdon Manor
Built between 1874 – 1889 in the Neo-renaissance style for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild. Waddesdon Manor stayed within the family until 1957.
When the last owner died (James de Rothschild), it was passed over to the National Trust, the Manor and its contents and is now managed by the Rothschild Foundation.
Ferdinand de Rothschild wanted a beautiful building and had in mind a chateau familiar with those built in the Loire Valley. He chose the French architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur to do the work. Destailleur was already familiar with the type of work, as he had overseen many projects, including the Chateau de Mouchy. He also worked for another member of the De Rothschild family, namely Baron Albert de Rothschild on his Palais Rothschild in Vienna.
The wine cellars are interesting in that it contains the best of 15,000 bottles, some over 150 years old and come from the Chateau Lafite Rothschild and Chateau Mouton Rothschild estates. It is the largest collection in the world of Rothschild wines, it also has some very important labels created by artists such as Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol.
The works of art inside the house of the very best quality, artists such as, Gainsborough, Reynolds, Boucher, Cuyp, Van Dyck, Titan and many others. Sevres ceramics, Beauvais Tapestries, first quality English Silver, carpets, books the list unending.
the French Landscape Gardiner Elie Laine. Extensive levelling of the hill was carried out, the Gardens and parks were laid out and an attempt was made to grow full length trees using chloroform to decrease the shock of moving the trees and planting them, however there are many trees in the parks and gardens that were successfully planted. Trees such as Yews, cedar, redwoods and other conifers, chestnuts, limes and maples are all successfully well bedded in.
During the reign of James de Rothschild the gardens were not the most spectacular however from the 1990’s a more up to date, using computer software for many of the colour combinations and in the gardens are many lovely statues by such sculptors as, Italian Sculptors Giuliano Mozani and Filippo Parodi, French sculptor, Jean Raon, to name but a few.
In my opinion, a great House and Garden to visit, teas and a scone well worth the wait.
Finally there have been many films made there. Here are a few examples:
Never Say Never Again
Carry On “Don’t Lose Your Head”
Ladies in Lavender
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
In 2018 there were approx. 465,000 visitors to the Manor, and was the largest visitor attraction anywhere in all of the National Trust Properties.
We passed this old farm as we were driving back toward Edmonton along highway 28, just east of Waskatenau Alberta.
Built in 1882, this 1,040 square house stands in one of Winnipeg's earliest housing developments. Few houses are left in this industrial area. Bay windows seem to be quite prevalent in the original houses in the area.
Built from 1897 to 1901, the Glenfinnan Viaduct was built from concrete and needs a little TLC now and then. Unfortunately the upkeep was in process when we visited, putting scaffolding, workers and their supplies in view at many locations along the structure.
Built in 1891, using the designs of Henry van Brunt, this Romanesque Revival structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It is also a contributing property to the University of Kansas Historic District, which was listed in 2013.
The University of Kansas (KU) is a public research university and the largest university in the state of Kansas with an enrollment of just over 30,000 students. The main campus of the school is located in Lawrence on Mount Oread, the highest point in that community. The University was opened in 1866, under a charter granted by the Kansas Legislature in 1864. It is the flagship university of the state of Kansas.
