The gate church of Nile Stolobensky was built in 1751-1755 by the Selizhar peasant Foma Pavlov. He took the gate Tikhvin Church of the Donskoy Monastery in Moscow as a model. This can be seen if we compare the two lower tiers of these temples. The upper part of the church of Nile Stolobensky was completely rebuilt in 1832-1838 in order to give it a resemblance to the new Epiphany Cathedral. Instead of the two upper tiers, a domed rotunda with a small dome was built.
Надвратную церковь Нила Столобенского построил в 1751-1755 гг. селижаровский крестьянин Фома Павлов. За образец он взял надвратную Тихвинскую церковь Донского монастыря в Москве. В этом можно убедиться, если сравнить два нижних яруса этих храмов. Верхнюю часть церкви Нила Столобенского полностью перестроили в 1832-1838 гг. для того, чтобы придать ей сходство с новым Богоявленским собором. Вместо двух верхних ярусов была сооружена купольная ротонда с небольшой главкой.
View of the magnificient frescos inside the main prayer hall of Vank Cathedral (Holy Savior Cathedral, Church of the Saintly Sisters), in Isfahan, Isfahan province of Iran.
The cathedral was established in 1606, dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of Armenian deportees that were resettled by Shah Abbas I during the Ottoman War of 1603-1618.
The interior is covered with fine frescos and gilded carvings and includes a wainscot of rich tile work. The delicately blue and gold painted central dome depicts the Biblical story of the creation of the world and man's expulsion from Eden. Pendentives throughout the church are painted with a distinctly Armenian motif of a cherub's head surrounded by folded wings. The ceiling above the entrance is painted with delicate floral motifs in the style of Persian miniature. Two sections, or bands, of murals run around the interior walls: the top section depicts events from the life of Jesus, while the bottom section depicts tortures inflicted upon Armenian martyrs by the Ottoman Empire.

i like the contrast between the geometric forms of the staircase and other built structures and the moving man. its kind of symbolistic for life itself.
Stone built structure on the quiet hillside of Morven. Thought to possibly be a sheepfold but I'm not too sure. Very intriguing.

It's just after 8:30pm, and the sun is still a good deal above the horizon. Can I really call it sunset? I'm not sure, but with the midnight sun in Iceland, it never really truly gets dark. It's kind of a weird phenomena.
On the upside, your touring day can be as short or as long as you want since you always have a good deal of light available. Things do close, but nature is still open for business. It can be a bit eerie at times if you're out at say 12am, taking photos when no one else is around an otherwise busy location. Then again, you're out at 12am because you want to take photos when no one else is around an otherwise busy location!
There's not a whole lot to see and do in Akranes, besides this lighthouse. For me, it was a place with a few more dining options than some others villages in the region, and made for a nice stopping point for me that day. A visit to the Akranes Lighthouse was my post-dinner stroll.
If you're off to explore more of West Iceland, there's an undersea tunnel connecting Reykjavik and Akranes that shaves off a good 40 mins or so of driving. I generally found it to be quite pleasant to drive anywhere in Iceland, except for when I got closer to Reykjavik. Then there were more traffic circles to deal with, which posed a challenge for me as a new stick-shift driver not yet confident in my manual driving prowess.
Overall, the lighthouse is one of those 10-15 min stops. It's unlikely to be a place you're going to spend an hour or so exploring - for which, Iceland is filled with those. If I was short on time, I'd definitely choose a waterfall or volcano or any number of crazy amazing natural sights that are so common in Iceland over a lighthouse. If, like me, you just need somewhere peaceful to wind down your day, a visit to the Akranes Lighthouse is a nice way to catch the "midnight" sunset.

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.

The impressive 1911 built structure for the then South East & Chatham Railway is grade II listed -hence it remaining in situ long after closure.
Numbers of signal boxes in the UK peaked around ths time this was built with about 12,000 in the country.
This cabin was closed in 2011 and signalling moved into the East Kent SCC.
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.

Minecraft Hunger Games, Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things. It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sun rise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea. April 21, 2016 at 09:20PM in youtu.be/E2WdmUhRtic
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».
Hotel on the sea coast. Hotel "Marino" in Yalta-part of the tour of Chekhov's places. The former cottage of Kazimir Benkovsky in the NINETEENTH century thanks to the architect Nikolai Krasnov has gained its refined appearance, and the famous guest — Anton Pavlovich Chekhov — added romanticism. According to local legends, in these places — from a café opposite the hotel — Chekhov pesona Dmitry Gurov noticed the lady with the dog: "Sitting in the pavilion at Vernet, he saw on the promenade was a young lady, short blond, in a beret; behind her ran a white Spitz". These walls remember Maxim Gorky, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Marius Petipa and a strong earthquake, after which the building lost part of its bourgeoisie: it was necessary to remove the decorative borders and vases.
Бывшая дача Казимира Беньковского на ялтинской набережной в конце XIX века, благодаря архитектору Николаю Краснову, обрела свой изысканный вид и стала называться гостиницей Мариино. Знаменитый постоялец Антон Павлович Чехов добавил отелю романтизма: по местным приданиям именно в этих местах - из кафе напротив гостиницы чеховский персонаж Дмитрий Дмитриевич Гуров заметил даму с собачкой. Эти стены помнят Максима Горького, Владимира Маяковского, Мариуса Петила и сильное землетрясение 1927 года, после которого здание лишилось части своего буржуазного декора.
