This was another shot, where I have to hide myself from bird nest. She was keep coming and checking the spot for any invaders, finally I walked away when she was hovering above and came back after she left and hide behind trees and vegetation. I was merely 20 feet from the nest, thank god that I had zoom with me, otherwise it would be very difficult to keep the whole action in frame. Well, it was worth the effort!
Construction de la fin du 15e siècle ou du début du 16e, formant un rectangle flanqué, à chaque angle, d'une tour ronde. Chaque pièce possède, en guise d'annexe, une petite chambre hexagonale située dans les tours d'angle. Une tourelle d'escalier, sur la façade, dessert directement à chaque étage les deux grandes pièces.

People in the Mekong Delta have heavily depended on boat for transportation. There is an extensive network of rivers and canals, and goods can be delivered to any corners of the delta by boat.
The situation has started to change as the government is now hard at work to construct roads and bridges to improve the transport efficiency in the delta.
Construction of the Can Tho Bridge was a symbolic project for that move. The 2.75 km cable-stayed bridge was completed in 2010 by getting a soft loan from the government of Japan. It has a 6-lane carriageway measuring 23 metres in width. It has a clearance of 39 metres.
As a consequence, long distance passenger boat service is being replaced by bus. Further, floating markets, which is a tradition of the delta and also an important tourism attraction, are reducing in scale.
Tourism would be increasingly important to sustain the river transport tradition of the Mekong Delta.
The Litchfield Public Library is situated in the center of Library Park in the heart of downtown Litchfield. The block on which the library sits forms the center of the downtown square.
The Classical Revival-style library was designed by Bloomington architect Paul Moratz and was constructed in 1904-05 at a cost of just under $16,000. Funds in the amount of $15,000 were obtained from the Andrew Carnegie Library Trust. In return, the City of Litchfield promised to maintain a free public library at the cost of not less than one-thousand dollars a year. Litchfield's contribution exceeded this amount.
Known as the "Patron Saint" of libraries, Andrew Carnegie spent the first 66 years of his life building a great fortune and the last 18 years giving it away. Between 1886 and 1919 his library benefactions world-wide surpassed $56M dollars. The Litchfield Public Library is just one of 105 Carnegie grants in various amounts made to Illinois communities between 1900-1916.
A new, larger Litchfield Public Library building opened in 2017. The building shown in this photo is now owned by the City of Litchfield where it is open to the public and home to the Litchfield Tourism Office.
Litchfield, a city in Montgomery County, is located in South Central Illinois and is part of the Metro East of St. Louis. Forty-six miles to the north of Litchfield is the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield. Two separate alignments of historic U.S. Route 66 (1930-1940 and 1940-1977), aka the Mother Road, run through the city. Litchfield had a population of 6,605 at the 2020 Census.
The Litchfield Carnegie Public Library was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1999.
Cet îlot se dresse entre le pont haut (højbroen), et le pont rail-route appelé pont de l'ouest (Vestbroen) du Pont du Grand Belt (Storebæltsbroen), au Danemark.
L’îlot Sprogø est situé dans le détroit du Grand Belt, entre l'île de Sjælland et l'île de Fionie. Sprogø signifie « île de langue » en danois, de sprog (langue) et ø (île). Elle est parfois appelée localement « l'île du milieu ». Aux alentours de 1170, le roi Valdemar Ier de Danemark, dit Valdemar le Grand fit ériger son phare pour guider les navires et lutter contre les pirates. Dans les années 1520, Christian II de Danemark installa sur Sprogø des fermiers néerlandais.
De 1922 à 1961, elle fut un centre d'internement pour femmes enceintes sans être mariées et/ou transgressant d'autres mœurs de l'époque et qui étaient considérées comme débiles, asociales etc. C'est la partie sombre de l'histoire de l'île, ces jeunes filles étant le plus souvent maltraitées (stérilisations forcées par exemple).
Le complexe du pont du Grand Belt mis en service en 1998 et faisant partie de l'autoroute E20, s'appuie sur l’îlot Sprogø. Grâce à ce pont Copenhague est enfin reliée au Jutland continental, via l’île Fionie. Le complexe est le plus long pont d'Europe, au total 17 km. Il est formé de deux parties. À l'est, reliant l'île de Sjælland à l’îlot Sprogø, se trouve un pont surélevé d'une arche suspendue d'une portée de 1624 m. Il s’appelle pont de l'est (Østbroen) ou pont haut (højbroen)) et fait 6 790 mètres de long. À l'ouest, reliant l’îlot Sprogø à l'île de Fionie, se trouve un pont rail-route (pont de l'ouest (Vestbroen) ou pont bas (Lavbroen)) de 6 611 mètres.
Avec plus de 400 îles habitées, le Danemark a dû investir dans la construction de ponts et de tunnels d'où le développement d'une grande expertise et une marque de fabrique danoise pour la parfaite intégration de ces structures au paysage.

York Minster, formally the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York, is an Anglican cathedral in the city of York, North Yorkshire, England. The minster is the seat of the archbishop of York, the second-highest office of the Church of England, and is the mother church for the diocese of York and the province of York. It is administered by its dean and chapter. The minster is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument.
The first record of a church on the site dates to 627; the title "minster" also dates to the Anglo-Saxon period, originally denoting a missionary teaching church and now an honorific. The minster undercroft contains re-used fabric of c. 1160, but the bulk of the building was constructed between 1220 and 1472. It consists of Early English Gothic north and south transepts, a Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, and a Perpendicular Gothic eastern arm and central tower.
The minster retains most of its medieval stained glass, a significant survival among European churches. The east window, which depicts the Last Judgment, is the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. The north transept contains the Five Sisters window, which consists of five lancets, each over 53 feet (16.3 m) high, filled with grisaille glass.

Casapueblo, located in Punta Ballena, Uruguay, is an iconic building designed by artist Carlos Páez Vilaró. Built over 36 years starting in 1958, it features 13 floors with terraces offering stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. Inspired by Mediterranean architecture and hornero bird nests, it was constructed without formal plans, resulting in an organic, labyrinthine structure. Casapueblo serves as a museum, art gallery, and hotel, showcasing Vilaró's artworks and hosting a daily "Ceremony of the Sun" at sunset
Nouveau repère dans la région de la Ruhr : depuis la pose de la première pierre et environ quatre ans de construction, l'extension du musée Küppersmühle par Herzog & de Meuron est achevée.
L'extension MKM allie culture industrielle et architecture muséale contemporaine. Comme pour la transformation du Küppersmühle historique en musée (1999), Herzog & de Meuront se sont inspirés du MKM existant et de l'architecture du port intérieur.
À l'intérieur, une séquence de 36 salles de collection lumineuses et clairement structurées donne à l'art beaucoup d'espace pour travailler. Au cours de l'extension, les silos historiques ont également été ouverts et intégrés au bâtiment. Ici, des ponts sont créés au 1er et au 2ème étage, la connexion entre les nouvelles chambres et les chambres déjà existantes. Les silos eux-mêmes seront conservés en tant que monuments industriels, tant par leur aspect extérieur que par leur matérialité largement originale. Une plate-forme prévue sur les silos, qui sera accessible selon la saison et les conditions météorologiques, offre une large vue sur la région de la Ruhr.
Des œuvres d'artistes d'Anselm Kiefer à Gerhard Richter, un programme d'exposition diversifié et une architecture saisissante entre monument industriel et cube blanc - bienvenue au MKM Museum Küppersmühle für Moderne Kunst.
La maison du port intérieur animé de Duisburg est l'un des plus grands musées privés d'Allemagne (Collection Ströher) et appartient au réseau RuhrKunstMuseen. Les architectes vedettes suisses Herzog & de Meuron ont transformé l'ancien bâtiment d'entrepôt avec sa façade en brique classée en un bâtiment culturel moderne qui attire les amateurs d'architecture du monde entier.
New landmark in the Ruhr area: Since the laying of the foundation stone and around four years of construction, the extension of the Küppersmühle museum by Herzog & de Meuron has been completed.
The MKM extension combines industrial culture and contemporary museum architecture. As with the transformation of the historic Küppersmühle into a museum (1999), Herzog & de Meuront were inspired by the existing MKM and the architecture of the inner port.
Inside, a sequence of 36 bright and clearly structured collection rooms gives the art plenty of room to work. During the extension, the historic silos were also opened up and integrated into the building. Here, bridges are created on the 1st and 2nd floor, the connection between the new rooms and the already existing rooms. The silos themselves will be preserved as industrial monuments, both in terms of their external appearance and their largely original materiality. A planned platform on the silos, which will be accessible depending on the season and weather conditions, offers a wide view of the Ruhr area.
Works by artists from Anselm Kiefer to Gerhard Richter, a diverse exhibition program and striking architecture between industrial monument and white cube - welcome to the MKM Museum Küppersmühle für Moderne Kunst.
Duisburg's bustling inner harbor house is one of Germany's largest private museums (Ströher Collection) and belongs to the RuhrKunstMuseen network. Swiss star architects Herzog & de Meuron have transformed the former warehouse building with its listed brick facade into a modern cultural building that attracts architecture enthusiasts from all over the world.
Constructed in 1910, this is one of the lovely century-old homes in Austin's Hyde Park Historic District. Established in 1891, Hyde Park is considered Austin's first suburb. Still, it has since become one of the most densely populated areas in the city's urban core. It includes an eclectic mixture of architectural styles, from late 19th-century Queen Anne and Classical Revival homes to 20th-century bungalows and ranch houses. The Hyde Park Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Additionally, many of the houses in Hyde Park have been designated City of Austin Historic Landmarks and Texas Historic Landmarks.
" The time of war is almost over, now the time to rebuild is come. Well, to build for us, since we lost everything, including our old home. We live since a month now in an old fishing village, surrounded by cliffs and mountains. Yesterday, me and the council decided to call our little town Greyhaven. And that same day, our worked finished the construction of a defensive wall. Everyone has a house now. Greyhaven is ready to expend"

Chinese gardens are constructed to recreate and miniaturize larger natural landscapes. Traditionally, Chinese gardens blend unique, ornate buildings with natural elements. Just about every Chinese garden contains architecture, like a building or pavilion; decorative rocks and a rock garden; plants, trees and flowers; and water elements, like ponds. Most Chinese gardens are enclosed by a wall and some have winding paths. Chinese gardens aren’t just thrown together. Instead, they’re deliberately designed and visitors should walk through them in the particular order that the garden was laid out.
The Chinese Garden of Friendship (simplified Chinese: 谊园; traditional Chinese: 誼園) is a heritage-listed 1.03-hectare (3-acre) Chinese garden at 1 Harbour Street, in the Sydney Central Business District, City of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Modelled after the classic private gardens of the Ming Dynasty, the garden offers an insight into Chinese heritage and culture. It was designed by Guangzhou Garden Planning & Building Design Institute, Tsang & Lee, and Edmond Bull & Corkery and built from 1986 to 1988 by Gutteridge Haskins & Davey; the Darling Harbour Authority; Imperial Gardens; Leightons; and Australian Native Landscapes. The gardens were added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 5 October 2018. The Chinese Garden of Friendship was designed by Sydney's Chinese sister city, Guangzhou in China. Sydney's Chinatown complements the area's already rich in Chinese heritage and culture. The garden was officially opened 17 January 1988 as part of Sydney's Bicentennial Celebrations and named the Chinese Garden of Friendship symbolising the bond established between China and Australia. 14913
The Royse City Lodge #663 A.F. & A.M. (constructed circa 1925) is the most substantial and intact property in the central business district of Royse City. Designed by W.A. Kimzey, believed to be from Greenville, Texas, and constructed by J.E. Harris of Royse City, the Lodge is a handsome 2-story building that borrows architectural elements from the Mission Revival style. The property is one of the few architect designed buildings in the community and is recognized locally as a significant architectural element in the context of Royse City. The property initially served only fraternal activities of the local Masonic Lodge, but in 1936 officials of Royse City leased the first floor for the first city hall and fire & police station. Royse City purchased the first floor in 1941 and continues to use the building for those purposes.
The history of the Lodge and the City are intertwined since the very early days. At least three mayors, Newt Burton (1938-1944), Roy Cookston (1944-1950), and R.M. James (1954-1957) were members of the Lodge. Many of the towns Aldermen also have been Lodge members. The Lodge building also has a long and respected history in Royse City, Texas. Every citizen of Royse City has utilized the building for some purpose, either fraternal or political. Many of the other buildings were destroyed in a devastating fire in the 1930's and this building, in its dual role, has continued to serve the needs of every citizen of Royse City for a century. No other building has greater significance to the community or has been occupied by the original owners since its construction.
On October 28, 1994, the Royse City Masonic Lodge was recognized as eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under criterion C for its architecture and criterion A for its social history & continued use by residents for government & political purposes at a local level. All of the information above was found on the original documents that can be viewed here:

The beautiful two-storey granite building on the right, Church House, is thought to have been built at the same time as the tower of the adjacent St Pancas's Church, in around 1540. Church houses date from the middle of the 15th century and were used for parish festivities, including brewing liquor for feasts. In the 1700s this building was used as an almshouse, and in the early 1800s it became a workhouse with a school on the first floor. In 1911 Church House was sold to Widecombe School Board, but in 1932 the school moved to a new building. Church House subsequently came into the ownership of the National Trust. It is a Grade II*-listed building.
It is believed the Old Inn is where the builders of the church tower stayed while they were constructing it. The inn dates from around the same time though it has had more modern extensions built.
There is a lot of development going on along the Chao Phraya River, opposite side to central Bangkok.

This is a shot of the Railway Station of the city called Kalampaka beneath Meteora, Greece in late November 2022. This Station is the western terminus of the Thessaly railroad line. Kalampaka was a border town or outpost of Greek territory, when the railway network was constructed in the 1880s.
Meteora is the name of the group comprising many impressive and lofty rock formations: The sandstone rock masses were formed 60 million years ago, are geologically unique and listed in UNESCO world herage sites.
A freebuild for Guilds of Historica. It was interesting to build a castle still in progress, I will be finishing the castle, so you'll see the complete fortress eventually.
Sir Glorfindel helps with the construction of a new fortress located in the north of Mitgardia.
