Built for the Canadian Coast Guard by Irving Shipyards in Halifax, this is a Dutch-designed Damen Stan patrol ship, operated by over a dozen countries world-wide. Photographed recently in Halifax Harbour, this ship was the first of the Hero-class ships for Canada.
Built in 1949, Belt Railway EMD TR2A 500 and TR4B 515 were dropping a coal train off in South Chicago in September of 1997.
It was an everyday occurrence back in the day and I wish I'd have done more with those old EMDs.
Built and much altered during the Neolithic period, roughly between 2850 BC and 2200 BC, the henge survives as a huge circular bank and ditch, encircling an area that includes part of Avebury village. Within the henge is the largest stone circle in Britain – originally of about 100 stones – which in turn encloses two smaller stone circles.
Avebury is part of an extraordinary set of Neolithic and Bronze Age ceremonial sites that seemingly formed a vast sacred landscape. They include West Kennet Avenue, West Kennet Long Barrow, The Sanctuary, Windmill Hill, and the mysterious Silbury Hill.
Built as a sentry post for a nearby fort, this has been used for many years as a navigational mark for boats and is sited above Fermain bay. You can enter it through a spiral passageway.
Built for Hiawatha passenger train service in December 1968, the five FP45 "spot" locomotives were classed as 36 EP-6, (3600 Horsepower EMD Passenger 6 Axle). The big cowl locomotives worked the passenger trains until Amtrak took over, then were bumped into freight service for the remainder of their short lived careers. Here, the remaining three FP45's are sitting outside of the shuttered Milwaukee Road diesel house in Milwaukee this fine August 1984 afternoon. The sixteen year old locomotives have been used, abused and neglected all in the name of a run to fail policy to drive another nail in the coffin of The Milwaukee Road. A month after I shot this photo, the 4, 2 and 3 spot were moved to the back shop to meet the scrappers torch.

Built circa 1801 by Nicholas Venning as a summer home, this house was once known as Skipper’s View when the Mount Pleasant Historic District was created in 1973. A subsequent owner has renamed it “O’ Be Joyful”.
Built in 1877 in the "Second Empire" style, the Chippewa County Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. This architectural style, with a mansard roof and square-based tower was common in the 1800s.
John Scott, the architect, designed this building, giving it two-foot thick stones walls, and a tower that is fronted by a statue of "Justice".

The covered bridge was built in 1862 by a certain David I Wood, who used to charge teamsters to travel across the bridge. The bridge was built using wood from Mr. Woods's lumber mill in Sierra County, California. There is a plaque on the northern side of the bridge that commemorates this.
This bridge was built to replace an 1850 bridge that washed away in a storm. At 251 feet (229 feet after the end walls were removed) it is thought to be the longest single-span covered bridge in the United States. As with all such bridges, the cover serves mainly to keep the rain off the load-bearing structure, which would otherwise soon rot from the moisture. Some said covers also made the bridge look like a barn so horses wouldn't be frightened to cross, but this was not universally accepted by teamsters of the day.
This road in the late 1800s was part of the Virginia Turnpike, a link between Marysville and the Comstock Lode silver mines in Virginia City, Nevada. Wagon teams, horsemen, buggies and livestock were charged a toll to cross the bridge. The Turnpike ran 14 miles from Anthony House (submerged under Lake Wildwood) to North San Juan.
The main visitor center to the South Yuba River State Park lies just to the south of the bridge.
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.
Built for a UK car build-off over on Instagram. Definitely a little different than my norm, and I'm still not completely satisfied with the front. Maybe another version will come sometime.
I'm pretty sure that rear fender idea is Calin's.
Built in the late 19th Century, this Italianate-style duplex features a brick exterior, bracketed cornice, false front low-pitch gabled roof, two-over-two double-hung windows with decorative hoods, limestone trim, side entrance doors, a two-story bay window on the south facade, and a one-story rear ell.
Perfectly preserved coastal fortress built by Henry VIII. In partnership with its twin, Pendennis, it guards the entrance of the Fal Estuary.
The clover-leaf shaped St Mawes Castle is the best preserved and most elaborately decorated of the coastal fortresses, built by Henry VIII to defend the coast from invasion by France and Spain. It stands on the opposite side of the Fal Estuary from its sister castle of Pendennis. Unlike Pendennis, it has seen few changes over the centuries and still retains its original Tudor character.
Unlike Pendennis, St Mawes was not easily defended from the landward side and soon fell to the Parliamentarian forces in 1646. In fact, the governor realised it was hopeless to try to defend against an attack from the land and surrendered without a shot having been fired. St Mawes Castle was not refortified until the end of the 19th century, but was used as part of the coastal defences during the two World Wars. The two castles of St Mawes and Pendennis form the Cornish end of the chain of coastal forts built by Henry VIII, which include Portland, Deal and Walmer Castles.
The castle was constructed half way up the hillside on the eastern side of the Fal Estuary to protect the large inland expanse of water known as Carrick Roads. It was built with a central tower overlooking three large circular bastions, in the design of a clover leaf, to provide a wide area from which gun ports could cover all angles of approach to the estuary. It is one of the finest examples of Tudor military architecture, its stonework embellished with elaborate gargoyles and detailed windows. The Royal Coat of Arms is carved into the stonework above the entrance, and there are various other carved inscriptions throughout the interior of the castle.
The central tower was constructed over four floors and is entered by a bridge to the third floor. Inside the tower are various decorations including carved wooden representations of a cherub, a monk and fleur-de-lis, and the inevitable Tudor roses. The forward gun room has several cannons on display there are sockets in the walls that originally held large beams to support the tackle needed to manoeuvre the large cannon. Facilities include toilets and a shop which serves drinks and ice creams. There is level access to the castle for wheelchair users, but access to the upper floors is difficult for the disabled. Parking is available close to the entrance. St Mawes Castle is open daily throughout the year, apart from at Christmas and New Year.
Built for RebelLUGs 2 hour build challenge. One of the rare 2 hour builds I’m kind of happy with. The seed piece was the droid arm, used it as part of the trees and roof of the ruined little house.

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.

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 lava pits of Mount Elementary - the dark lord rules behind his ebony walls....
What is he planning?
...
I had the honour of doing a MOC deep dive for New Elementary for the Sith Mosaic Set.
Here's my build for the Thick Separator, check out my full analysis at
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 :)
Any idea what kind of beetle this is? I don't think I have seen one like it. Hairy and built like a tank, this beetle was camouflaged quite well.
I had no end of trouble getting the exposure right and in fact overexposed the raw files quite a bit. I had somehow accidentally set my metering to spot metering when pulling the camera out of the bag, and it wasn't until after the stack that I finally realized what I had done. Oops!
This is a 137-shot field stack, natural light. The beetle did move a bit during the stack, but not enough to ruin it.
Stourbridge Town Clock
'It's probably the best-known landmark in the town and was even made here! Built in 1857, the grade two listed town clock had a full restoration in 2007. The column was built at the Stourbridge Ironworks and was designed by engineer William Milward. For many years the clock was painted green but for the renovation, the decision was made to change the colour to dark blue and gold, the colours of the Stourbridge coat of arms.' www.stourbridge.com/stourbridge_town_clock.htm
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 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.

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:
