Пале́рмо (др.-греч. Πάνορμος, лат. Panormus, итал. Palermo, сиц. Palermu) — главный город итальянского региона Сицилия , административный центр одноимённой провинции.
The Roman Catholic church of St Charles in Gosforth was built in 1911 (replacing an earlier iron-built structure) and is a handsome building with two small west steeples flanking the main facade and a wide cruciform body culminating in a shallow apse. The interior is partially enlivened by marble-cladding, particularly around the sanctuary.
The outstanding features here however are in glass, principally the two large windows that dominate the north and south transepts, the largest windows in the church and both filled with gloriously rich stained glass by Harry Clarke Studios of Dublin and installed in 1945 (long after the death of Clarke himself and most likely designed by his successor Richard King). The south window depicts the Nativity, whilst that to the north represents the Deposition, with Christ's body being removed from the Cross. There is a further window by the same studio in the south nave clerestorey depicting Christ before Pilate, somewhat smaller and sadly less accessible.
This is a thoroughly rewarding church to visit for lovers of stained glass, though it is best to check with the church about access as it isn't always open outside mass times.

Originally the goods yard contained two goods sheds one of these being situated on a loop siding that was laid on a parallel alignment to the passenger station.
it was a brick-built structure which was built to a typical Oswestry and Newtown design for that period internally it had a brick-faced wooden platform which extended the full length of the building but allowed for a single line which ran through and out to the rear to a further loading area. A bay was provided for on the roadside which was protected by two internal overlapping doors that could be half closed or half opened while a corrugated half-moon canopy ran the full length of the opening.
large sliding doors protected the front and the rear of the shed, the former door hanging off external runners while the latter hung off an internal runner which was situated between the main structure and the goods office. The goods office was situated on the eastern gable with access being made via steps leading to the office door internally the office was connected to the loading platform by a communicating door.
In the final years, the goods shed road was reduced in length it being terminated a short way before the shed doors The internal platform was then extended up to the inner-facing wall and a small doorway was knocked through thus allowing for the transfer of goods to be made from the reception road
Freight traffic was conveyed by a daily branch pick-up service train which generally departed from the main yard at Oswestry. The train was formed with Llanymynech wagons next to the engine followed by Llansantffraid and Llanfyllin next to the brake. Departing Oswestry at 11.0 am it gave engine crews plenty of time to carry out the shunt at Llanymynech before the 11.53 am departure for Llanfyllin, having called at Llansantffraid where half an hour was allowed for shunting operations the train arrived at Llanfyllin at around 12.46 pm.
On arrival, the train ran into the station platform where the engine stopped clear of the engine release crossover. The engine then ran around and drew the wagons clear. If the train was too long for the station run round the movement was made via the far loop ground frame which was released with the key on the token. The usual procedure was to drop the break van in front of the goods shed and then take the other wagons and put them into the yard and either put them aside or use them to collect the empties which were knocked down onto the brake to form the return train. finally, the loads were positioned as required.
Outward goods traffic included scrap metal which came from a local scrap merchant Arnold and Parks who had a yard in nearby Bridge Street.
Occasionally, tree trunks were loaded onto bolster wagons using a rail-mounted crane, which when needed was brought up from Oswestry and shunted into the shed road, wagons were then put onto the road alongside the run round and trunks craned across onto them.
The forestry commission delivered pit props to the station for dispatch to coal mines in South Wales. these were dealt with at the loading dock opposite the station platform.
Inwards goods traffic consisted of coal which was received by a local merchant Eddie Rees Davies who had an office near the yard entrance.
Other commodities included basic slag, lime and animal feeds.

A trullo is a traditional Apulian dry stone hut with a conical roof.
The announcement made in October 2009 by General Secretary Kim Jong-Il, the North Korean leader, to have built 100,000 apartments in Pyongyang by 2012 officially aims at facing the housing shortage in the capital city. But it also represents a challenge to give evidence of the communist regime overall prosperity. The Stalinian regime had already pretended to amaze the rest of the world in the 1950’s claiming its ability to construct an apartment for a family in 14 minutes only!
This time it might be a little different. Despite the university students’ conscription and the mobilization of the army, many observers doubt the ability of North Korea to complete the buildings by its founder’s 100th birthday in 2012. In fact, it is not only a matter of housing: the energy and water supply as well as transports for 100,000 families need the building of extra-infrastructure.
Lately, reports have emerged of construction projects having been downsized and sites idling due to materials shortages. By the end of 2011, only 500 units are built, which forces the authorities to reduce the target to 20,000 to 25,000 apartments in total.

مسجد المحمودية
(القاهرة التاريخية)
يقع هذا المسجد
بميدان محمد علي
على يسار الصاعد منه إلى القلعة،
أنشأه محمود باشا
وإلى مصر من قبل الدولة العثمانية في سنة (975 هـ) ~ ( 1567م ).
👈له مدخلان متقابلان أحدهما
في منتصف الوجهة الشمالية
والثاني في منتصف الوجهة الجنوبية
ويتوصل إلى كل منهما ببضع درجات ، ،
وهو خال من جهاته الأربع ومبنى مرتفعا عن منسوب الطريق وفتح بوجهاته صفان من الشبابيك تعلوها مقرنصات وتتوجها شرفات مورقة، ومنارته أسطوانية تحليها خطوط رأسية بارزة ولها دورة واحدة مكونة من مقرنصات متعددة الحطات وتغطيها مسلة مخروطية على نمط مآذن الطراز العثماني، وهى تقوم على قاعدة أسطوانية مثلها تقع بالناصية الشرقية الجنوبية للمسجد كنظيرتها بمسجد السلطان حسن.
وتخطيطه
عبارة عن حيز مربع طول ضلعه 19.80 متر تتوسطه أربعة أعمدة ضخمة من الجرانيت ترتكز عليها أربعة عقود تحمل سقف الجزء الأوسط من المسجد المرتفع عن باقى سقفه. ويتوسط الجدار الشرقي محراب حجري بجواره منبر خشبى وإلى يساره باب يؤدى إلى مربع صغير بارز عن سمت جدار المحراب تغطيه قبة مرتفعة ووقوع القبة خلف المحراب ظاهرة اقتبست من مثيلتها بمسجد السلطان حسن أيضا. وجميع أسقف المسجد من الخشب المنقوش بزخارف جميلة ملونة ومذهبة ويحيط بها إزار مكتوب به آيات قرآنية واسم المنشئ وتاريخ الإنشاء سنة 975 هجرية. هذا ويحلى جدران المسجد من الداخل شبابيك من الجص المفرغ المملوء بالزجاج الملون. وقد توالت أعمال الإصلاح بهذا المسجد وكان آخرها ما أمر به جلالة الملك المعظم فاروق الأول من تقوية عقوده وإصلاح سقفه وقد تم ذلك في سنة 1940 ميلادية. #IsLam #Mosque #Sheikh #minaret #islamic_architecture #byzantine #palace #bosphourus #muslim #basilica #Buliding_Exterior #City #Architectural_Dome #Momunment #Religion #Built_Structure
The Massandra Palace, built in the 19th century in Upper Massandra on the Southern coast of Crimea, was the residence of Emperor Alexander III. The building was built in the style of ancient castles of the period of the French king Louis XIII. It is often called the "little Versailles".
Массандровский дворец, построенный в XIX веке в Верхней Массандре на Южном берегу Крыма, был резиденцией императора Александра III. Здание возведено в стиле старинных замков периода французского короля Людовика XIII. Его нередко называют «малым Версалем».
