This is were the famous adventures of Don Quixote started, the attack on the windmills that he believes to be ferocious giants.
One curiosity is that each windmill has it’s one name, and the same happens with it’s windows.
And to celebrate Portugal victory nothing better than the iconic Tower of Belém on the bank of the Tagus River in Lisbon, Portugal.
La Torre is a castle near Buonconvento and dates back to the thirteenth century and once belonged to powerful families of Siena.
The castle was completely restored in the second half of the 800, taking on its current appearance: it is made up of two buildings that overlook a large courtyard surrounded on two sides by walls surrounded by a moat.
Now they are doing new restorations who knows, maybe it will turn into a luxury resort.
Santa Maria della Salute or Saint Mary of Health as an amazing story that can be easily associate with it the famous masks of the doctors of the black plague.
I posted two shots of this Eastern Phoebe this evening. I got this portrait shot when she flew in close, and also a shot of her on one of her favorite perches in her habitat.
Eastern Phoebes almost always nest on human built structures. In this case the nest is under a boardwalk that traverses a popular wetland area in St. Albert.
She has given many of us great photo ops.

Ursprünglich wurde das Wasserschloss als Unterkunft und Werkstatt für die Hafenarbeiter genutzt, welche die Wartung und Reparatur der hydraulischen Speicherwinden ausführten. Sie wurden Windenwärter bzw. Windenwächter genannt und hatten – neben anderem technischen Personal – das Privileg, in der Speicherstadt wohnen zu dürfen.
Originally the moated castle was used as a shelter and workshop for the dockers, who carried out the maintenance and repair of the hydraulic storage winches. They were called Windenwächter or Windenwächter and had - in addition to other technical personnel - the privilege to live in the Speicherstadt.
I have been driving past this barn on an occasional basis literally for decades, but the light was never "right", at least until one day last Spring. The years haven't been that kind to this barn, but (like so many of us) it's still standing!
You can reach this refuge ( 3006 m ) from Obergurgl in the Ötztaler Alps on a hiking trail in 4 hours. This house was built by the section Hamburg of German Alpine Association in the year 1881. The house serves the mountaineers as accomodation for further alpine tours. That ´s exactly what my friend and i did. We made an ice climbing on a high three thousand meter mountain.
Seen along the reknowned Kankamangus highway in New Hampshire, this barn is part of a 19th century homestead that most definitely did not enjoy good cellular coverage!
Eigentumswohnungen in der HafenCity. Leider sündhaft teuer. Hinter der rechten Häuserreihe verläuft die Elbe und man erhält eine fantastischen Blick auf den Hafen. Bei Hochwasser steht der Wasserpegel bis an die Kaimaueroberkante.
Condominiums in HafenCity. Unfortunately sinfully expensive. Behind the right row of houses runs the Elbe and you get a fantastic view of the harbor. At high water, the water level is up to the quay wall top.
D1935 'Roger Hosking MA 1925-2013' emits a trace of exhaust as it powers over the Ouse Valley Viaduct with 1Z84, the 1653 Eastbourne to Chesterfield 'Statesman' excursion.
Also know as Balcombe Viaduct and opened in 1841, this is the highlight of the route built by the London and Brighton Railway.
This ornate, brick-built structure comprises of over 11 million bricks, mostly imported from the Netherlands and shipped up the river Ouse from Newhaven and Lewes to the construction site. The stone balustrades and pavillions were imported from Caen in Northern France.
After a month of poor weather, this was a rare occasion to enjoy the August sunshine, capture a locomotive-hauled train on the famous viaduct and meet up with a few likeminded photographers.

======================
This is the Pati dels Tarongers (Orange garden), an irregularly shaped main floor terrace, ornated with several orange trees, as was usual in late-medieval palaces.
In Sant Jordi day (the patron saint of Catalonia) we went to visit the see of the Government of Catalonia, el Palau de la Generalitat, in Barcelona. It's an impressive mostly medieval building. As was typical of the times, it's not a purpose-built structure but a collection of re-used gothic palaces, that grew with the history of Catalonia.

iQuarter, originally known as the Hancock & Lant Tower, is a 52-metre apartment block in Sheffield, England, completed in 2008. It's named after the Hancock and Lant furniture company formerly occupying the site. The lobby of the building houses a Grade II listed brick built structure known as a crucible stack; dating from the late 19th century, it's an example of the once numerous small steel works in the area whose output complemented that of the large scale bulk producers.

Slangenburg Castle is a castle in the municipality of Doetinchem in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands.
The castle is first mentioned in 1354 as the property of Maes (Thomas) van Baer.
Slangenburg Castle was constructed in the Late Medieval period. In the 17th century the castle became the property of General Frederik Johan van Baer, also known as General Slangenburg, who rebuilt it for residential purposes.
The last private owners were a German family called Passmann, who are buried in a private cemetery next to the moat.
At present the castle is used as a guesthouse by the nearby Benedictine monastery, St. Willibrord's Abbey (Sint-Willibrordabdij), a newly built structure of the 1950s situated on a part of the castle's former estate. The original monastic community, from Oosterhout Abbey, was initially accommodated in the castle itself in the years immediately following the war.

Elbbrücken station (Elbe bridges station) is a public transit terminal station in Hamburg, (Germany) near the railway and road bridges called Elbbrücken leading over the Norderelbe. It was consisted of two elevated stops, one for the Hamburg U-Bahn underground, it was opened in December 7, 2018, and one for the Hamburg S-Bahn commuter trains with two tracks each, interlinked by a "skywalk". The station is the terminus of the U4 line of the U-Bahn and will be a new stop on the S3/S31 S-Bahn line.[1] It is built to facilitate a better accessibility of the new HafenCity quarter of Hamburg from the south.
Der Bahnhof Hamburg-Elbbrücken ist ein im Bau befindlicher Knotenpunkt der U-Bahn Hamburg und der S-Bahn Hamburg im Elbbrückenzentrum, einem Teilquartier der HafenCity am nördlichen Ende der Freihafenelbbrücke bzw. der Eisenbahnelbbrücke. Die Stationen werden von der Zweibrückenstraße unterquert. Zwischen beiden verlaufen mehrere Fernbahngleise sowie der Straßenzug Freihafenelbbrücke, über die eine Fußgängerbrücke, der sogenannte Skywalk, hinwegführen soll. Geplant ist damit eine ÖPNV-Erschließung der östlichen HafenCity, von Teilen Rothenburgsorts sowie der nördlichen Veddel.[1] Der U-Bahnhof des Knotenpunktes wurde am 6. Dezember 2018 eröffnet und ging am 7. Dezember 2018 in Betrieb.
