Die Kampenwand ist ein 1669 m ü. NHN hoher Berggipfel in den Chiemgauer Alpen. Sein Gipfelkreuz ist das größte in den Bayerischen Alpen und weithin sichtbar. Der Name leitet sich von ihrem Aussehen ab: Der gezackte Gipfelgrat erinnert an den Kamm auf dem Kopf eines Hahnes.
Zum hohen Bekanntheitsgrad der Kampenwand trägt außerdem ein berühmter bairischer Schüttelreim bei:
„I gangat gern auf d’Kampenwand, wann i mit meiner Wamp’n kannt’.“
Für die Norddeutschen flickr Freunde übersetzt:
„Ich ginge gerne auf die Kampenwand, wenn ich mit meinem dicken Bauch es könnte.“
The Kampenwand is a 1669 m above sea level mountain peak in the Chiemgau Alps. Its summit cross is the largest in the Bavarian Alps and is visible from afar. The name is derived from its appearance: The jagged summit ridge is reminiscent of the crest on the head of a rooster.
A famous Bavarian shaking rhyme also contributes to the high degree of fame of the Kampenwand:
"I gangat gern auf d'Kampenwand, wann i mit meiner Wamp'n kannt'."
Translated for the North German flickr friends:
"I'd like to go on the Kampenwand, if I could with my fat belly."
I haven't been in here much because I've been wallowing in self pity. I was just diagnosed with cancer and it's located in my neck. The doctor is pretty sure it's curable and he has a 5 year plan. In the mean time lots can happen. I'll probably lose about 30 lbs, could lose most of my teeth and could lose the ability to talk. I'll be starting radiation and chemo later this month. It still hasn't completely sunk in and I'm still having trouble talking about it. I'll still be looking at your work but I just may not be contributing as much
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate bokeh in monotone at the fabulous Smile on Saturday Group.
And since I got another lensball (yes, I know it looks exactly the same as my other lensballs but this one is a 50mm), I told myself why not ? Lets contribute to feed my obsession and take a picture of my addiction (yes, I’m addicted to lensballs and this is my 4th one… so far). So I did an experimentation with my lensball, a mirror and one of my led spots. And of course everything is purple since it is a purple day :-).
Have an amazing « purple bokeh in monotone » day my friends and lets celebrate, since no one knows what kind of day we will have tomorrow !
See you later my friends and have an amazing day !
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
It was amazing to see the Indigenous participation in Sharm El Sheikh. With more than 300 delegates, the Indigenous contingency was one of the biggest at COP27. Community leaders came to Egypt from every corner of the world to share the stories of their communities and advocate for the rights of Indigenous Peoples during the climate negotiations.
Their engagement is so important as the territories of the world’s 370 million indigenous peoples cover 24% of land worldwide and contain 80% of the world’s biodiversity.
Indigenous peoples have continued to resist the occupation and deforestation of lands they have lived in for centuries. They also understand the importance to protect the forests in the interests of combating climate change. They also know the potential for their decision-making power at a local and global level that may contribute to saving the planet.
It will be critical that indigenous communities have funding and authority to ensure their rights are respected so they can choose for themselves the level of their integration into the global economy.

What a treat it was to find this beautiful 1957 Chevy convertible parked in front of one of the historic Henry Gruene Family Home, now the Gruene Mansion Inn. The Eastlake Victorian-style mansion that was constructed in 1878. It is a contributing property within the Gruene Historic District listed in the NRHP.
Situated on the Guadalupe River in the fast-growing community of New Braunfels, Gruene (a German surname, pronounced "Green") is a former German town in Comal County. Once a significant cotton-producing community along the Guadalupe River, the town has now shifted its economy to one supported primarily by tourism. Today Gruene is a district within the city limits of New Braunfels, and much of the former town was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1975. Gruene is known for its German-Texan heritage and architecture.
New Braunfels is the seat of Comal County and has a 2020 census population of 90,403. A suburb just north of San Antonio, and part of the Greater San Antonio metropolitan area, New Braunfels was the third-fastest-growing city in the United States from 2010-2020.
It is said, “Canadian contributes the Banff and Jasper National Parks to the world, but keeps the Kananaskis park for themselves”. Kananaskis park is a provincial park, not as famous as Banff and Jasper. But there is comparable Rocky Mountains and lakes. It is a very quiet place, no people around, nice trails to walk around the lakes and mountains, really enjoyed the most at this peaceful and quiet place! The photo was taken on the backyards of the camping sites. The walks were great with awesome views of the lakes from the back of camping sites.
Saharan dust events contribute to the aerosol load over Switzerland, mostly during spring and autumn. As a result of strong winds and major turbulence, sand particles from the North African desert region regularly rise up several kilometres into the atmosphere. The largest particles quickly fall back to the ground, but the smaller ones can be transported all the way to the Swiss Alps.

Baby African Bush Elephants, scientifically known as Loxodonta africana, are incredibly adorable and endearing creatures. They are born weighing around 200-250 pounds (90-115 kilograms) and stand about 2.5 to 3 feet (76-91 centimeters) tall at the shoulders.
These young elephants are highly social animals and rely on close bonds with their family members for protection and learning. They are under the constant care and guidance of their mothers and other experienced female elephants within the herd. Baby elephants stay close to their mothers, learning essential survival skills, such as finding water, identifying edible plants, and understanding social behaviors within the herd.
Play is an essential aspect of their early development. They engage in playful activities, such as mock charging, splashing in water, and chasing birds or other small animals. Through play, they hone their motor skills and social interactions, preparing them for adulthood.
Baby African Bush Elephants are heartwarming creatures to observe in the wild, and their presence contributes to the rich tapestry of life in the African savannah.
Well friends, I will be going North for a few months and will have limited contact. But every once in awhile I will check in and catch up with you.
I enjoy all of your photos and hope to contribute a few of my own over the next bit of time. I have a late August rendezvous with a Total Solar Eclipse in Idaho and then some travel through Glacier National Park.

Scanno is a village so nice I had to show it twice it also sits higher than most at over 1000m above sea level but what really sets Scanno apart and so many other old hill towns like it is the feeling of discovering some truly special sights even if they have been seen by countless others it still feels personal. Like most hill towns the upper most location is usually home to a castle or fort or sometimes just a church or two built so that defense was downhill, then as the population grow it builds around and down the slopes of the apex building. The village has a timeless feeling that transports you back several hundred years as life has not changed here that much, the senior women of the village contribute to this feeling by still wearing traditional “costume muliebre” that makes the repeated uniform seem like they are nuns of an religious order.

Gannets are unusual birds as they constantly contribute to their nest throughout the season... many birds build and that's it... where as they seem to keep at it! There is thought that the material is seen almost as a gift to their partner bird!
This was a Gannet at Bempton cliffs fetching some long grass to take back to contribute to the nest or give his partner a gift!
A view looking east on E. Main from N. Walnut St. in downtown Champaign. The five buildings in this view on the north side of E. Main all contribute to the Champaign Downtown Commercial District listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. All were built between 1860 and 1907, and are Italianate and early 20th century commercial designs.
The most prominent building on this block is the four-story building with a center atrium that was constructed for the Jos. Kuhn & Company in 1907. Jos. Kuhn & Co. is a longtime outpost for men's attire that gradually grew until four of the five buildings in this block were being utilized by the company. Although the company's footprint today is smaller, it is still in business today at the same location.
Located in Champaign County in east central Illinois, the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana are the home of the University of Illinois. The population of the City of Champaign at the 2020 census was 88,302, while Champaign County had a population of 205,865.

This stately mansion was built for J. Russell Jones, an influential Civil War patriot who later would become a U.S. Marshall, steamship owner, chairman of the Republican Party, and Minister Resident to Belgium during the Administration of his friend, President Ulysses S. Grant. Built in 1857, the Italianate style Jones House, now known as the Belvedere Mansion, is the largest mansion in Galena. Completely restored, Belvedere Mansion is open for tours.
The mansion is a contributing structure in the Galena Historic District. The district encompasses 85 percent of the City of Galena and includes more than 800 properties. The Galena Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, with modifications in 2013.
Galena is the seat of Jo Daviess County in the northwest corner of Illinois. This is the unglaciated area of northwestern Illinois. The rolling hills, history and abundant 19th century architecture draws visitors from throughout the country. The population of Galena at the 2020 census was 3,101.
A view of the south side of the 100 block of W. Main looking east from Race St. The Tudor Revival style Bennett Building described in my previous post is seen on the corner. In addition to the Bennett Building, two other buildings in this block are contributing to the Downtown Urbana Historic District listed in 2019 on the National Register of Historic Places. These are the buildings at 133 W. Main (next to the Bennett Building) and 115 W. Main (four story building further down the block).
133 W. Main: Constructed in 1890, historically this building was a confectionary. Wood cladding now covers the first floor store front area. The building is mixed use with commercial space on the 1st floor and residential space on the 2nd floor.
115 W. Main: Completed in 1870, this building was originally an opera hall known as Tierman's Hall. In 1914, architect Joseph W. Royer did a complete terra cotta facade renovation of the building as part of its conversion to a temple for the Urbana Masonic Lodge. The first floor is now a restaurant known as Crane Alley, with office space on the second through fourth floors.
The buildings in this block all lie within Downtown Urbana Historic District and the Joseph W. Royer Arts and Architecture District. Seen in the next block is the tower of the beautiful Champaign County Courthouse, also designed by Royer and completed in 1901.
Urbana is the seat of Champaign County. Located in east central Illinois, the twin cities of Urbana and Champaign are the home of the University of Illinois. The population of Champaign County at the 2020 census was 205,865.
A view looking south on N. Walnut in downtown Champaign. Ahead on the southwest corner of N. Walnut and E. Main St. is the First National Bank Building, a contributing building in the Champaign Downtown Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
The First National Bank, located at 30 E Main Street, is based on a Greek Revival form and features beautiful Corinthian columns and pilasters. Chicago architects, Mundie and Jensen, constructed the building in 1909. The stone-faced historic bank was one of the first steel-constructed buildings in Champaign.
The exterior of the original building has excellent architectural integrity. Interior changes occurred during the middle of the twentieth century in an attempt to modernize. There is an addition to the west and to the south. Both were constructed in 1966, and are non-contributing to the historic district. The First National Bank Building is now the location of a PNC Bank branch office.

It has been forever since I contributed to fence Friday. Thought I end my hiatus :)
This flaring light was the last time I've seen the refreshing sunshine. It's been dull and grey ever since, minus the snow and lots of rain which is no fun in winter. I hope this trend changes very soon in Toronto because it is very unlike January here.

Azure-shouldered Tanager - Not globally threatened. Currently considered Near-threatened. Occurs mainly inside humid forest and is less able to utilize forest edge and second growth than are most others in the genus, a factor that has contributed to its severe range contraction and fragmentation following deforestation. Believed to be in decline. Possibly occurs in only relatively few areas outside protected sites. birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/azstan1

A view looking south at the west side of the 100 block of S. State St. as seen from E. Pearl St. in downtown Jerseyville, Illinois. This block is in the heart of the Jerseyville Downtown Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1986. The district encompasses the commercial center of Jerseyville, and includes most of the city's historic commercial buildings, which were built along State Street (U.S. Route 67) and its cross streets from 1867 to 1929. With the exception of the previously posted Jersey County Courthouse and Jerseyville Carnegie Public Library, the buildings in the district are mainly one-and two-story brick commercial style structures; other architectural influences in the district include Richardsonian Romanesque, Greek Revival, Italianate, and Chateauesque.
Five of the seven buildings seen on this block are contributing buildings in the historic district. The first two of these buildings are the large white-painted, two-story building on the corner, and the two-story, red-brick building next to it. Both buildings date to 1890 and are Richardsonian Romanesque-influenced designs. The W.E. Carlin Building on the corner was originally a bank, and the Leigh Building to its left was a commercial office building owned by Wallace Leigh, a prominent local businessman.
The tall, red-brick building in the center of the block is the third contributing building. It was built in 1888 in the Greek Revival-style with Italianate influence, and was used as a Masonic Hall. The fourth and fifth contributing buildings are at the opposite end of the block. The tan-colored, brick building with Chateauesque influence was constructed in 1888, and the gray-painted, two-story brick building on the corner was built in 1900. Both buildings were used for commercial/retail uses.
The Southern Illinois City of Jerseyville is part of the St. Louis Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population of Jerseyville as of the 2020 U.S. Census was 8,337.

A view of the east side of the 100 block on N. Kickapoo St. in downtown Lincoln as seen from Broadway St. The properties in this view lie within the Lincoln Courthouse Square Historic District that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The three buildings in this view are early 20th century commercial designs constructed in the 1910s. On the corner of N. Kickapoo and Broadway St. is the former Lincoln Savings & Building Association Building completed in 1914. The center building appears to be commercial-use only while the building on the end was designed with commercial space on the ground floor and apartments above. All three buildings are contributing properties in the historic district.
Lincoln is the seat of Logan County, which is situated in central Illinois approximately 26 miles northeast of Springfield, the state capitol. The estimated population of Lincoln in 2018 was 13,685.
The chapel was a gift of German-American Henry John Heinz, founder of the H.J. Heinz Company, who wanted to honor his mother, Anna Margaretta Heinz, with a building at the university. Upon his death in 1919, Heinz’s three surviving children (Howard, Irene, and Clifford) added to his bequest in order to memorialize their grandmother and honor their father. Their choice of a chapel for a memorial was guided by the concepts of education and religion which Anna Margaretta Heinz imbued in her children.

A view of the 400 block of S. Main St. in Galena where we find ourselves treated to a faded hand-painted advertising sign for Coca-Cola on the north wall of Mahony & Curley building (c. 1857) on the right, and the ghostly roofline of a building that once stood next door to the Peck Warehouse (c. 1845) across the street.
The ghost Coca-Cola sign dates to 1904 as that was the year "Delicious and Refreshing" was Coke's slogan.
Both the Mahony & Curley Building and the Peck Warehouse contributing properties in the Galena Historic District which encompasses 85 percent of the City of Galena and includes more than 800 properties. The Galena Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, with modifications in 2013.

Across from Depot Park on Park Avenue, and sitting next door to the Beebe House shown previously, is the Coatsworth House. Constructed in 1894, this house is a gabled ell design, a variation of the gablefront house. The gabled ell incorporates a side gable, which was typically added-on to the house. The add-on was usually in order to obtain additional space, light and cross-ventilation. The gablefront house cropped up in styles ranging from Greek Revival, to Gothic Revival, to Queen Anne, to a simple vernacular style home.

Bloomington architect George Miller designed this beautiful Queen Anne style house for Edward & Ora Gridley in 1885. Edward Gridley was the son of Asahel Gridley, a local land developer and attorney. The house was preserved by Alice Light McTurnan, whose family lived here from 1904 to 1996.
The Edward & Ora Gridley House is a contributing property in Bloomington's East Grove Street District. This residential historic district includes 43 houses and apartment buildings, 25 of which are considered contributing buildings. The houses in the district were built between 1855 and 1915 for many of Bloomington's upper middle class residents. Due to a building boom between 1880 and 1900, the then-popular Queen Anne style is the most prevalent in the district. Other popular architectural styles in the district include Greek Revival homes from the 1850s, Italianate homes built between 1860 and 1880, and Arts and Crafts homes built in the 1900s. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1987.
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.

A view of the buildings on the north side of Lincoln's historic courthouse square as seen from the steps of the Logan County Courthouse. This view shows the entire 600 Block of Broadway St. All of the properties in this view lie within the Lincoln Courthouse Square Historic District that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
Of the eight buildings shown above, the former Lincoln Savings and Building Association building (c. 1914, Neoclassical) at the corner of Broadway and N. Kickapoo St. (left), and the two-story commercial building at the opposite end of the block (c. 1895, Italianate) at the corner of Broadway and N. McLean St. (right). are contributing properties in the historic district.
The buildings sandwiched between the two ends are a mix of newer mid-century commercial buildings, and older buildings that have been modernized to the extent that their historic architectural antecedents are basically unrecognizable. These buildings are non-contributing properties within the historic district.

The double home at 71 Symphony Circle and 26 Richmond Ave were owned by Capt. Thomas and Edward C. Maytham, brothers and partners in the Maytham Tug Line. The houses were separated by double walls with the exception of the tower rooms on the third story, which was only a single wall. The architect is unknown but it was built circa 1892. It was also the last house to built on Symphony Circle, designed by famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. Currently the house is used as offices by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, but plans call for them to move across the street to the Birge Mansion once renovations there are completed.
The two brothers operated the Maytham Tug Line. The company built around 40 tugs that navigated all parts of the Great Lakes. In addition, they also operated a couple ferries that ran from Buffalo to Fort Erie, Canada and several schooners and steamers.

It was interesting watching a flock of well over a hundred of these redpolls foraging on the field weeds, then suddenly swirling into the air and seconds later returning to almost the same spot. Possibly the heavy winds of 40 to 60 km per hour contributed to this behaviour.
Thank you for viewing, always appreciated.
The Elihu Benjamin Washburne House was built for and owned by Elihu Benjamin Washburne, a prominent Galena lawyer who served in Congress during the Civil War, and as Secretary of State and Minister to France under President Ulysses S. Grant, another famous Galenian. Constructed in 1844–45, the Washburne House is an example of late Greek Revival architecture. The house was built in the style of Greek temples and features a 2-story porch with four fluted Doric columns.
The Washburne House is a declared Illinois State Historic Site, and was also listed in 1973 on the National Register of Historic Places. Additionally, the Washburne House is a contributing structure in the Galena Historic District which encompasses 85 percent of the City of Galena and includes more than 800 properties.

Contrails (short for condensation trails) or vapor trails are line-shaped clouds produced by aircraft engine exhaust or changes in air pressure, typically at aircraft cruising altitudes several miles above the Earth's surface. Contrails are composed primarily of water, in the form of ice crystals. The combination of water vapor in aircraft engine exhaust and the low ambient temperatures that exist at high altitudes allows the formation of the trails. Impurities in the engine exhaust from the fuel, including sulfur compounds (0.05% by weight in jet fuel) provide some of the particles that can serve as sites for water droplet growth in the exhaust and, if water droplets form, they might freeze to form ice particles that compose a contrail. Their formation can also be triggered by changes in air pressure in wingtip vortices or in the air over the entire wing surface. Contrails, and other clouds directly resulting from human activity, are collectively named homogenitus.
Depending on the temperature and humidity at the altitude the contrails form, they may be visible for only a few seconds or minutes, or may persist for hours and spread to be several miles wide, eventually resembling natural cirrus or altocumulus clouds. Persistent contrails are of particular interest to scientists because they increase the cloudiness of the atmosphere. The resulting cloud forms are formally described as homomutatus, and may resemble cirrus, cirrocumulus, or cirrostratus, and are sometimes called cirrus aviaticus. Some persistent spreading contrails contribute to climate change. R_825
This beautiful Italianate style mansion was built in 1856 for Augustus Estey (1811-1882), who made a fortune as a lead smelter and later became the president of Merchants National Bank in Galena. Before departing to become the 18th President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, a close personal friend of Mr. Estey, gave his farewell speech to the people of Galena from the balcony of this house. Today the property is a bed and breakfast known as the Victorian Mansion Inn.

Old and broken pillions become a thing of interest for my camera. As i lean over a bridge to compose a shot, the once useful pier is little more than sticks in the mud. Their combined direction contributes to the notion of time and looking back on a different era. However, the interplay of colors, textures, and shapes make and engrossing tale of change.

The new Faculty of Science is located as a freestanding building on a prominent site of the Utrecht University campus. Approximately half of the building contains laboratories and the rest provides education and work space on various and open floors, grouped around the central hall. This atrium-like space is directed to the outside in a covered outdoor area with an open classroom, where there is an opportunity of open air events. The 'oval' freestanding building, as an island on this area, is on the border between the inside and outside and provides all opportunities for meetings, which all contribute to social cohesion.

A view of the 100 block of S. Commerce St. on the east side of Lockhart's Courthouse Square. This photograph looks to the south from San Antonio St. In a previous post, we looked at the east side of the square looking north from E. Market St. The buildings in this view are contributing properties in the Caldwell County Courthouse Square Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
On the corner at 100 S. Commerce is the J. C. Fulps Building. Built originally as a dry goods business for J. C. Fulps, the one-story brick and stone building retains its original detail. The three-bay building has three round arched openings with a central double door and flanking display windows. The transoms have been enclosed. Above the arches brick pilasters divide
the upper facade into three recessed panels and a round arched parapet crowns the central bay.
Next to the Fulps Building at 102 S. Commerce St. is the Blackwell Building. This building was constructed in 1898 for a grocery and hardware store owned by J. T. Blackwell. It is a one-story brick and stone store with a plastered facade that is painted white. Although the original facade composition of alternating display windows and double doors is still evident, applied tile has been added to the window bases and the transoms have been painted.
Third from the corner at 104 S. Commerce St. is the William Ray Building. This building was constructed in 1898 for for William Ray, who operated a dry goods and millinery store. It is a two-story buff brick building with a red brick facade. Although the first floor has been altered, the second floor retains the original embellishments. Justicated stone forms a stringcourse above both the first and second floors. The four segmental arched windows are joined horizontally by buff brick stringcourses. Crowning the building is additional brick ornamentation emphasized by the use of the buff brick trim. The parapet displays the original building's name and date, "Ray, 1898."
As we enter the middle of the block, the fourth building from the corner at 108 S. Commerce St. is the B. F. Dodd Building. This is actually two buildings with the south half built in 1910 and leased to a Mr. J. P. Laney for a grocery store, and the north half built in 1912, This building was remodeled in 1967 and has a mid-century facade.
Descriptions of the four buildings on the south end of this block are described in a previous post.
Lockhart, a community of 14,811 at the 2020 census, is the seat of Caldwell County and is located just 30 miles south of the state capital in downtown Austin. Lockhart's square and downtown is filled with late 19th and early 20th century buildings, nearly all contributing properties to the historic district. The city's turn-of-the-century appearance has attracted the attention of film makers. Over 50 films for the theater and TV have been shot in whole or in part in Lockhart, including the 1996 Christopher Guest comedy film Waiting for Guffman and the 1993 drama What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
In my previous post we looked at a beautiful three story brick building built around 1875 that sits on the north side of the 200 block of E. Sixth St. in the Sixth Street Historic District. This view shows what sits across from it on the south side of the street.
The three-story building shown here at 209 E. Sixth St. is the Morley/Grove Building. Morley Brothers Drug Store occupied the building from 1906 through 1935, at which time Grove Drug Store became the occupants. Although it has been nearly 90 years since the Morley Drug Store changed hands, a ghost sign for have passed since the Morley Bros. Drug Store can still be clearly seen on the side of the building. And the large neon sign for the Grove Drug Store still hangs off the second floor.
The first two floors of the Morley/Grove Building were built in 1874, with a third floor added in 1898. The Queen Anne cast-iron bayfront was one of the few pre-fabricated iron fronts used in Austin. All the window frames are studded with rows of light-bulb sockets, a potentially spectacular way of displaying the relatively new electric power of Austin at that time.
The Morley/Grove Building is a contributing building in the Sixth Street Historic District, listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1875. Today the building is occupied by The Bee Grocery and the Barcelona nightclub.
Some of the oldest buildings in Austin can be found in the Sixth Street Historic District, a.k.a. Old Sixth Street and Dirty 6th, that runs east from Lavaca St. (2 blocks west of Congress Ave.) to I-35. While the Sixth St. entertainment district extends well past Congress Ave. to the west, and I-35 to the east, it is the historic section known for its clubs, bars, live music, restaurants, and 19th century architecture that made Austin the "Live Music Capital of the World."
Today begins a new series on Jo Daviess County. Located in the northwest corner of Illinois, Jo Daviess County is known for its scenic stretches of road and valley views, and for Galena, its picturesque county seat.
In the northeastern corner of Jo Daviess County, just below the Illinois and Wisconsin state line, is the Village of Warren, population 1,304 according to a 2019 estimate. This photo shows of the Warren Commercial Historic District along east and west Main Street. The district, which is concentrated along both sides of the railroad tracks on Main and Railroad Streets, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, and encompasses the town's central business district including 34 contributing buildings.
Development in the district began in 1852, the year that the Illinois Central Railroad came to Warren, and continued into the twentieth century. Most of the buildings in the historic district are vernacular brick commercial structures with pressed metal or brick ornamentation, though examples of Victorian or Classical Revival architecture can also be seen.
Warren is the location of the Jo Daviess County Fair. Held annually in August, it is the oldest county fair in the state of Illinois.
