On the north end of Lickman Road in Chillwack stand a well built structure that goes back a number of years.
Since leaving the Midwest last year, I’ve been meaning to photograph the Harbor Drive Pedestrian Bridge in downtown San Diego. The bridge connects the convention center with Petco Park (home to San Diego’s Major League Baseball team the Padres). At 550 feet, the bridge is one of the longest self-anchored pedestrian suspension bridges in the world and is supposed to look like a sail to fit in with San Diego's nautical history.
I took this photograph from the top floor of a parking garage. I like this view since it not only includes the new Harbor Drive Pedestrian Bridge, but also Petco Park, the new Central Library and the East Village District, which is San Diego's largest and most rapidly developing neighborhood.
Happy Travels!

This is not a built structure, but just a painting on a plain sheet appropriately cut to shape. This shot was taken in the sculpture park, National Mall, Washington DC

One of the less visited temples of the Angkor Wat complex is Beng Mealea, which is about an hour drive from Siem Reap. Located in an overgrown jungle, it sits in arrested decay as it has for over 900 years.
Beng Mealea was a welcomed relief from the main Angkor Wat temple complex which is besieged with large crowds. The entire time I was there it was just myself, my guide and a couple of local boys playing around (what a great “backyard” to be playing in).
I saw these boys playing around and as I approached them to make a photograph, I gestured to them to sit on this small tree branch for better lighting. We were after all in a jungle where dappled light comes through the tree-tops.
Their infectious smiles made this one my favorite photographs from Southeast Asia.
Cambodia is truly the land of smiles!

Multi-apartment residential building, built in 1937, Stalinist Empire. If you look from the embankment, you get the impression that this is an ordinary Stalinka. But if you go deeper, you will see an unusual high portico-passage, above which, it seems, there is an apartment with arched windows. Built in 1937 .
Два корпуса одного жилого дома, построенного в 1937 году по проекту Ивана Николаевича Дубова. В 30 е годы двадцатого века перед архитекторами была поставлена задача создать новый образ социалистического города, где историческая застройка не рассматривалась как нечто ценное, и ей вполне можно было пренебречь или даже снести. Поэтому нужно отдать должное архитектору Ивану Николаевичу Дубову, который в своем проекте сохранил церковь Николы Надеина — первый каменный храм в Ярославле 17-го века , возведенный на купеческом дворе. Он попытался связать вновь выстроенные им современные здания с памятником древнерусской архитектуры. Размер церкви определил и расстояние между двумя корпусами нового жилого дома. Ступенчатые объемы торцевых фасадов домов и полукружья окон словно повторяют очертания элементов церкви. Колоннада по бокам зданий создает своеобразную оправу, открывая нам «дорогу к храму»..

With its construction beginning in 1881, it was being built for prince Semyon Vorontsov based on the blueprints of a talented architect Etienne Bouchard. Bouchard had planned an original building in the style of French castles at the time of Louis XIII. The palace was even called a ‘Little Versailles.’ The construction was stopped, however, only a year in because of the prince’s death.
Construction resumed only in 1889, when the family of Russian emperor Alexander III purchased the building. Architect Maximilian Mesmaher maintained the size and general style of the building, but he substantially changed its look with new decorations; in effect, he transformed a knight’s castle into a wonderful palace.
In Soviet times, the castle was turned into a sanatorium called ‘Proletarian Health,’ used by those who were seriously ill with tuberculosis. In post-WWII years, it became officials’ summer residence: Stalin, Khrushchev, and Brezhnev all stayed here. Only in 1992, a museum dedicated to Alexander III was created on the first two floors. In its collection there are many unique items: chandeliers, a fireplace of brown marble, mahogany furniture, mirrors, and more.
Здание имеет весьма необычную архитектуру — внешне он напоминает и замок, и терем одновременно, при этом такое сочетание выглядит весьма гармоничным. Первый владелец участка в Верхней Массандре — князь М.С. Воронцов — планировал выстроить дворец, который стал бы воплощением стиля короля Людовика ХIII, и обязательно с двумя круглыми башнями. Проект был заказан французскому архитектору Этьену Бушару, однако, тому дворцу было не суждено существовать — всего через год после начала строительства Воронцов скончался, и работы были прекращены.
Спустя семь лет недостроенный особняк приобрел Александр III, нанятый им архитектор Месмахер не стал переделывать проект, он лишь внес корректировки, добавив балконы, скульптуры, террасы и разные декоративные элементы, отчего строгий замок обрел ореол романтики. Строительство было завершено в 1902 году и, хотя императорская семья больше любила Ливадийский дворец, Массандровское имение тоже не оставалось забытым.
После революции и до Великой Отечественной войны здесь располагался санаторий для больных туберкулезом, а в послевоенные годы тут проводило отпуска руководство страны. В 1992 году в Массандровском дворце открылся музей династии Романовых, и теперь его могут посетить все желающие.
St. Bernard de Clairvaux Church is a medieval Spanish monastery cloister which was built in the town of Sacramenia in Segovia, Spain, in the 12th century but dismantled in the 20th century and shipped to New York City in the United States. It was eventually reassembled at 16711 West Dixie Highway, North Miami Beach, Florida, where it is now an Episcopal church and tourist attraction called Ancient Spanish Monastery. It is the oldest European-built structure in the Western Hemisphere.
