This viaduct was built at Gotuwala between the two railway stations – Ella and Demodara during the British Colonial period is the largest in Sri Lanka. Located almost 3100 feet above the sea level, this 99.6ft high bridge is called Nine skies bridge. When one stands underneath it and looks up there is a beautiful sight of ‘nine skies’ through the nine arches of the bridge. This bridge is also called ‘The Bridge in the sky’ due to the sheer height.
This massive bridge is built entirely of solid rocks, bricks and cement without using a single piece of steel. The bridge was finally commissioned in 1921.
There is a popular story to say that when construction work was commenced on the bridge, the World War 1 broke-out and the steel consignment assigned for this site was seized and was used for war related projects. When the work came to a standstill the locals came forward and build the bridge with solid stone bricks and cement without steel.
A rather unknown story was published in a local newspaper about the origin of this bridge. According to this article, The construction of this bridge was given to a person called P.K. Appuhami who lived in Kappetipola.
According to one of his grand sons, P.K. Appuhami was born in 1870 and has been a popular drummer and a devil dancer. One day he has lost a drumming competition to another drummer during a Thovil Ceremony and has returned home in the traditional devil costume.
At that time the railway was being constructed and the Britisher who saw him in the costume got frightened seeing him near Ohiya Railway Station. But later a relationship was built up between them and Appuhami has helped the construction of the railway by supplying labor to the Britisher.
When the construction reached a gap between two hills, the British engineers got worried due to a quagmire at the bottom of this gap. Securely anchoring the columns of the bridge to the ground was the issue. Appuhami by this time has secured the trust of the engineers and requested to hand over the construction of this massive bridge to him. After rejecting for the first time, they finally agreed to hand over this mammoth task to Appuhami.
He has started work around 1913 and got his men to topple large rocks to this gap until they filled up the bottom and then he has built the brick columns on this rock bed. He completed the work within about an year and the cost of construction was so low, that the Britishers were doubtful of the structural integrity of the bridge.
Appuhami assured that he will lie down under the bridge on the first train voyage across this and he is said to have kept to the promise when the railway line was first commissioned.
Based on forklore in the area it is said that the English offered the balance payment and he carried four cart full of siver coins from Colombo and that he provided meals for the Parabedda and Puranwela villagers for 2 days and also gave them one silver coin each.
Originally built for CCCXI, I ran out of time halfway through the build. I decided to forget the contest so that I could finish this right. 2 Months to build as I had time.
As far as what this is, its an old pirate outpost built on top of an old imperial outpost taken over by Quathos Steelmane and his band of mercenaries. These fellows are more than happy to supply the local pirates with steel as long as they have the coin.
Huge thanks to Trull whose work inspired this build. (fantastische-welten.blogspot.de/p/piraten.html)
The Dodson House, built in 1894, is significant for its association with persons who played important roles in both the social & economic development of the small West Tennessee town of Humboldt. The house is an excellent example of Queen Anne architecture and is located in the older residential neighborhood of the town.
W.H. Dodson, a Humboldt banker, organized and established the Haywood County Bank in Brownsville, Tennessee in 1889. His son, William, was duly elected assistant cashier of the financial institution. William remained with the bank until the fall of 1892 when he moved to Humboldt and established a real estate company. In February 1893, William Dodson purchased a town lot from W.N. Bennett for the amount of eight hundred dollars. Early in 1894, he began to oversee the construction of this Queen Anne style residence which was completed by that fall.
After William Dodson's death in 1904, his son George moved from Knoxville to Humboldt and practiced law in Humboldt for four years before purchasing the Ford automobile dealership. In 1931 William Hooper, grandson of William Dodson, moved into the family home after graduation from Vanderbilt University. He soon became associated with Dodson Ford dealership and in 1950 he purchased all rights to the dealership. Mr. Hooper was active in community affairs and served on the Humboldt Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, the West Tennessee Strawberry Festival Board, and the Ford Dealer Council Board (Memphis District).
Architecturally, the Dodson House is a good example of the Queen Anne style residence. Although the interior of the house was altered by the Hooper family, much of the original fabric was retained. The present owners, who purchased the house in 1980, are restoring the interior and plans have been developed for the restoration of the exterior. For these reasons, this house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 1982. All of the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

Built in 1929 by the New York Central Railroad Company, as its headquarters.
Before this, the electrification of New York's trains had meant that it was no longer necessary to vent the smoke of coal-fired locomotives, so railroad tracks could run underground. Burying the northern tracks allowed construction of the road now known as Park Avenue, from which this photo was taken. It also freed a building site overlooking Park Avenue - just to the north of Grand Central Terminal - for the construction of this Beaux-Arts masterpiece.
After WWII the company's position eroded. Causes included better roads, widespread automobile ownership, the opening of the St Lawrence Seaway, the rise of air travel, hostile regulators. Ie, one damn thing after another. These proved lethal after a merger with Pennsylvania Rail - to become Penn Central - failed to stem the rot, and in 1970 the combined company became the largest bankruptcy in US history. (I think Enron, and possibly Lehman, have since surpassed it).
The structure is now known as the Helmsley Building.
Built in the 1960s to NATO specification, and at the height of the Cold War, the Scottish Fuel Depots situated at Garelochhead (adjacent to the Clyde Naval Base), Loch Striven (near Dunoon), Loch Ewe (in Wester Ross) and Campbeltown provide a mainly maritime fuelling facility to visiting UK & NATO vessels.
Capacity of all 4 sites at the time of original build totalled 702M litres, capable of handling Gas Oil and Aviation fuel. This total has since reduced to 600M litres due to infrastructure reductions at Garelochhead. With the withdrawal particularly of the US Navy from the West Coast of Scotland, the UK-only requirements for fuelling have dropped to today’s forecast prediction of approx 50M. Periodic reviews have continued to confirm that from a military perspective the 4 depots and their location are nonetheless strategically required in spite of the considerable excess capacity held.
The challenge therefore was either to offset MOD’s overheads and liabilities by reducing running costs of each site to a minimum care and maintenance basis or to find some means of exploiting the spare capacity whilst retaining the military capability.
Built in 1852, this Gothic Revival-style house was built for J. B. Shipman, and was later purchased by Elizabeth Mills, and her husband, Professor J. L. Mills, in 1877. Elizabeth and J. L. Mills established Elizabeth College for Women, now part of Marietta College, in 1893. The house features a painted brick exterior, a gabled roof, two-over-two double-hung windows, decorative sawn wooden gingerbread trim on the gable ends, a one-story bay window on the side gable, and a wrap-around porch with stop-chamfer columns and decorative brackets. The building is a contributing structure in the Marietta Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and expanded to its present size in 2001.

St. Peter's Church (Danish: St. Petri Kirke, German: St.-Petri-Kirche) is the parish church of the German-speaking community in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is situated at the corner of Nørregade and Sankt Peders Stræde in the city's Latin Quarter. Built as a single-nave church in the mid-15th century, it is the oldest building in central Copenhagen. It is also notable for its extensive complex of sepulchral chapels. (Wikipedia)
Built between 1776 and 1779 the fort was constructed to provide a defensive stronghold in case of pirate attacks, and as a public works project to provide much needed employment during a time of famine and poverty on the island. It became commonly known as the Fortress of Hunger (Fortaleza del hambre). The famine was caused by a number of factors including periods of drought, and the earlier eruption of Timanfaya between 1730 and 1736, which devastated most of the productive agricultural areas on the island. Charles III of Spain, who was concerned for the plight of the islanders, ordered that the fortress be built.
Situated on a cliff above the Port of Naos, the D shaped fort has semi-circular walls facing the sea. On the landward side, the rear wall is protected by two small turrets, with a moat crossed by a lifting drawbridge leading to the main gateway. The fortress is constructed of masonry and ashlar blocks of volcanic origin. The interior which is made up of barrel vaulted rooms was mainly used as a powder store
Built under the Roman Republic, the House of the Vestals and Temple were forbidden to any person, except the King and priestesses.
It was rebuilt after the fire under Nero in 64 AD
Six priestesses, the Vestals, were in charge of the cult of Vesta, the goddess of earth, fire and hearth. They should maintain the sacred fire - on an altar in the cella of the temple - which should never be extinguished, because it symbolized the continuity of the city of Rome.
Court held inside the building, 61 m wide by 20 m, with three pools, whose statues surrounding the date of the third century AD

Built in 1922, this 3 mile stretch is all that remains of what is known as the “Ribbon Road” a 9 foot wide paved stretch of old Route 66. It is said that Oklahoma could not afford to pave the entire length of the road so they paved only half the width of the road.

The Sun may have built the stone circle and henge at the Ring of Brodgar and in line and arc of the Sun the shadows live within the house that light built. From our Earth the Sun seems to travel across the sky each day through the seasons moving along the horison through the seasons from Equinox to Equinox passing through the central Solstice days. Shadows grow and shrink and the light of the Moon, planets and stars give more celestial reference markers.
From the water came the builders and worshippers. Back to the land much of the neolithic monuments have fallen and been felled, forgotten and farmed over. Where the demand for land has not brought down the stones there are remarkable markers still stretching into the sky and bringing fresh shadows onto the land and into the hearts and minds of man.

Built in 1470 adjacent to St Olave's Church it was the main entrance to St Mary's Abbey which was once the richest abbey in Northern England. The abbey is just a ruin today in the York Museum Gardens.
Following the Dissolution it became a court house and a pub. Today it is home to York Museum & Gallery Trust.
Some infos:
About 7000 pieces. The hull is more than 4 feet long and with the sail the total length is about 5 feet 2 inches.
No glue, no tape. The only none Lego elements I used are the sails, strings and 6 one-foot long aluminum technic axles used for reinforcement.
No modified bricks... I just take advantage of the tolerance (gaps) between bricks! The compound curve on the hull comes almost nature thanks to its own weight. Let it sag by itself :)
Built in 1849-1850 by Louis Bernard for the Drapeau seigneuries, it was the common mill of the Lepage-Thivierge seigneury until the abolition of the seigneurial regime in 1854. The mill produced flour until 1926. After this date, it was used as a tourist information office (1941-1979), restaurant (1990s), training center (since 2000) and tourist bed and breakfast (since 2006). Its mechanisms were removed in the early 1990s. It was completely restored from 2000.
Built in the closing years of the 16th century the Rialto bridge is the oldest and most elaborate of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal in Venice. It has become one of the architectural icons and top tourist attractions of the city. A centre ramp and two side ramps lead up to a central portico. On either side of the centre ramp are rows of covered shops which occupy some of the City’s most expensive real estate.
If you are coming from Piazza San Marco* and cross over the bridge going west you will find yourself in the Rialto Market with its fresh fruit and vegetable stalls, fish vendors and rows of expensive boutique shops.
