Alderlea, meaning meadow of Alder trees, was constructed circa 1867 for Kenneth Chisholm, businessman, political figure and son-in-law of John Elliott, a founding father of Brampton.
Designed as an Italianate villa, Alderlea is one of Ontario’s finest examples of this architectural style. The original grandeur of the estate included a large front lawn and garden, which is now Gage Park, Brampton’s first municipal park.

Back in 1972 a rich businessman Stanley Washington found out his wife Agnes Washington was pregnant with twin boys. He wanted to give them world – literally. His own father never paid attention to him and his goal was to make sure he could be there every moment for his boys and work with them together to create something new and amazing. Jason and David Washington were born in August 1972 and that’s when Stanley had.....

Tyntesfield (TINTS-feeld) is a Victorian Gothic Revival country house and estate near Wraxall, North Somerset, England. The house is a Grade I listed building named after the Tynte baronets, who had owned estates in the area since about 1500. The location was formerly that of a 16th-century hunting lodge, which was used as a farmhouse until the early 19th century. In the 1830s a Georgian mansion was built on the site, which was bought by English businessman William Gibbs, whose huge fortune came from guano used as fertilizer. In the 1860s Gibbs had the house significantly expanded and remodelled; a chapel was added in the 1870s. The Gibbs family owned the house until the death of Richard Gibbs in 2001.
Tyntesfield was purchased by the National Trust in June 2002, after a fundraising campaign to prevent it being sold to private interests and ensure it would be open to the public. The house was opened to visitors for the first time just 10 weeks after the acquisition, and as more rooms are restored they are added to the tour.

John Yates Chisholm (1849-1918) was a prominent Bloomington businessman and real estate dealer. In 1888, he commissioned architect George H. Miller to design this Victorian Romanesque-style office building in the 200 block of E. Front St.
Miller, whose work has been seen throughout this McLean County series, delighted in the variation of colors and textures. Like many architects of the late 19th century, he was intrigued by the abundance of new ceramic products which were coming to market. The Chisholm building shown here was an early example of the use of terra cotta panels and other ceramics.
Miller believed businessmen wanted their buildings to be distinctive and be clearly distinguished from those of their neighbors. Both the Higgins Marble Works building next door (also designed by Miller and previously featured in this series) and the Chisholm Building are Victorian Romanesque-styles; yet the facades are quite distinct from each other. Today the Chisholm Building is a mixed use property with professional offices on the ground floor, and condominiums above.
The John Y. Chisholm Building is contributing architectural property in the Bloomington Central Business District listed in 1985 in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The district includes roughly twelve square blocks of the city and encompasses 140 buildings, 118 of which are contributing buildings to the district's historic character.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is home to State Farm Insurance, Country Financial and Beer Nuts. Illinois Wesleyan University is located here, while the neighboring twin city of Normal is home to Illinois State University and Heartland Community College. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.

The Sanctuary of Truth is a magnificent temple in Pattaya, Thailand, that stands as a tribute to traditional Thai architecture and craftsmanship. The temple is entirely made of wood, with intricate carvings depicting various Hindu and Buddhist deities, as well as ancient Thai mythological figures. The construction of the Sanctuary of Truth began in 1981 and is still ongoing. The temple covers an area of over two hectares and is over 100 meters tall. It was designed by a local businessman named Lek Viriyaphant. The Sanctuary of Truth is not affiliated with any specific religion, but rather serves as a symbol of the unity of all religions and beliefs. It is a peaceful and tranquil place where visitors can reflect and appreciate the beauty of Thai culture and tradition. The Sanctuary of Truth also serves as a cultural and educational center. It hosts various workshops and events throughout the year, aimed at promoting traditional Thai arts and crafts.
The Sanctuary of Truth is located in Pattaya, a popular coastal city in Thailand's Chonburi Province. It is located at the northern tip of the Long Beach area of Pattaya, on the Gulf of Thailand coastline. The temple is 100m high and entirely made of wood, with intricate carvings. There is no set date for when construction of the Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya will be completed as the project is in constant development and expansion. Work on the temple began in 1981 and has continued to date, with the aim of making the temple as authentic and detailed as possible. The goal of the builders is to hand down the temple to the next generation so that it can be continued and maintained as a cultural heritage and as a symbol of Thai traditional values and history.
The Sanctuary of Truth is een prachtige tempel in Pattaya, Thailand, die een eerbetoon is aan de traditionele Thaise architectuur en vakmanschap. De tempel is volledig gemaakt van hout, met ingewikkeld houtsnijwerk dat verschillende hindoeïstische en boeddhistische godheden uitbeeldt, evenals oude Thaise mythologische figuren. De bouw van het Sanctuary of Truth begon in 1981 en is nog steeds aan de gang. De tempel heeft een oppervlakte van ruim twee hectare en is meer dan 100 meter hoog. Het is ontworpen door een lokale zakenman genaamd Lek Viriyaphant. The Sanctuary of Truth is niet gelieerd aan een specifieke religie, maar dient eerder als een symbool van de eenheid van alle religies en overtuigingen. Het is een vredige en rustige plek waar bezoekers de schoonheid van de Thaise cultuur en traditie kunnen overdenken en waarderen. The Sanctuary of Truth doet ook dienst als cultureel en educatief centrum. Het organiseert het hele jaar door verschillende workshops en evenementen, gericht op het promoten van traditionele Thaise kunsten en ambachten. Er is geen vastgestelde datum voor wanneer de bouw van de Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya zal worden voltooid, omdat het project voortdurend in ontwikkeling is en wordt uitgebreid met als doel om de tempel zo authentiek en gedetailleerd mogelijk te maken. Het doel van de bouwers is om de tempel over te dragen aan de volgende generatie, zodat deze kan worden voortgezet en onderhouden als een cultureel erfgoed en als een symbool van de Thaise traditionele waarden en geschiedenis.
I have been using this plaster cast head of Hermes (the Olympian Hermes, that is) as my photographic punching ball for years. The reason is that he has got endless amounts of patience with me. This shot was done outdoors, using a reflector. I like to shoot wide-open and, with a proper lens, one would get satisfying results. Compare this shot to the other one, number 1, taken with a different lens, though PP was exactly the same (edited in Fuji's raw converter and refined in Luminar). This shot was taken with the 7Artisans manual lens wide-open (F 1.2). This lens will not produce sharp focus wide-open and at close range. And yet it produces images with "character".

As the late morning sun climbs higher over St. Louis, UP PJCPB 13 sweeps around the curve beneath the towering factory walls, streaking through the industrial corridor with UP 6079 leading a 10-car business train made up of Union Pacific’s streamlined heritage fleet cars. Navigating the city was no challenge for the stockholder special, having green signals all the way south before even crossing the river for a crew change.

The Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) is an art museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Its collection contains nearly 25,000 works of art. It is one of the largest museums in the United States. Beginning around 1872, multiple organizations were founded in order to bring an art gallery to Milwaukee, as the city was still a growing port town with little or no facilities to hold major art exhibitions. Over the span of at least nine years, all attempts to build a major art gallery had failed. Shortly after that year, Alexander Mitchell donated all of her collection into constructing Milwaukee's first permanent art gallery in the city's history. In 1888, the Milwaukee Art Association was created by a group of German panorama artists and local businessmen. The same year, British-born businessman Frederick Layton built, endowed, and provided artwork for the Layton Art Gallery, now demolished. In 1911, the Milwaukee Art Institute, another building constructed to hold other exhibitions and collections, was completed. The institute was built right next to the Layton Art Gallery. The Milwaukee Art Museum was founded in 1888 and is purported to be Milwaukee's first art gallery, though that claim is disputed by the Layton Art Gallery, which opened the same year. The Milwaukee Art Center (now the Milwaukee Art Museum) was formed when the Milwaukee Art Institute and Layton Art Gallery merged their collections in 1957 and moved into the newly built Eero Saarinen-designed Milwaukee County War Memorial. In the latter half of the 20th century, the museum came to include the War Memorial Center in 1957 as well as the brutalist Kahler Building (1975) designed by David Kahler and the Quadracci Pavilion (2001) created by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The Quadracci Pavilion contains a movable, wing-like brise soleil that opens up for a wingspan of 217 feet (66 m) during the day, folding over the tall, arched structure at night or during inclement weather. The pavilion received the 2004 Outstanding Structure Award from the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering. This iconic building, often referred to as "the Calatrava", is used in the museum logo. In November 2015, the museum opened a $34 million expansion funded jointly by a museum capital campaign and by Milwaukee County. The new building, the Shields Building, designed by Milwaukee architect James Shields of HGA, provides an additional 30,000 square feet for art, including a section devoted to light-based media, photography, and video installation. The building includes a new atrium and lakefront-facing entry point for visitors and was designed with cantilevered elements and concrete columns to complement, respectively, the existing Calatrava and Kahler structures on the site. The final design emerged after a lengthy process that included the main architect's departure because of design disputes and his return to the project. The museum houses nearly 25,000 works of art housed on four floors, with works from antiquity to the present. Included in the collection are 15th- to 20th-century European and 17th- to 20th-century American paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, decorative arts, photographs, and folk and self-taught art. Among the best in the collection are the museum's holding of American decorative arts, German Expressionism, folk and Haitian art, and American art after 1960. The museum holds one of the largest collections of works by Wisconsin native Georgia O'Keeffe. Other artists represented include Gustave Caillebotte, Nardo di Cione, Francisco de Zurbarán, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Winslow Homer, Auguste Rodin, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Gabriele Munter, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Frank Lloyd Wright, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Wassily Kandinsky, Mark Rothko, Robert Gober, and Andy Warhol. It also has paintings by European painters Francesco Botticini, Jan Swart van Groningen, Ferdinand Bol, Jan van Goyen, Hendrick Van Vliet, Franz von Lenbach (Bavarian Girl), Ferdinand Waldmüller (Interruption), Carl Spitzweg, Bouguereau, Gerome (2 Majesties), Gustave Caillebotte, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Kowalski (Winter in Russia), Jules Bastien-Lepage (The Wood Gatherer), and Max Pechstein.

The Four Faces Sculptures, also called the "Four Faces of Truth", are some of the most notable sculptures of the Sanctuary of Truth.
