A closeup of an old house in Bruges.
"Bruges became important due to the tidal inlet that was crucial to local commerce. This inlet was then known as the "Golden Inlet". Bruges received its city charter on 27 July 1128, and new walls and canals were built. In 1089 Bruges became the capital of the County of Flanders."
Happy Bench Monday!!!

I saw this old guy while driving around La Grange, Texas. It's the very first jail house build in the town. Now it's being used as the City of La Grange Visitor’s Bureau and office space for the La Grange Area Chamber of Commerce. In the mid-1930’s, two members of the infamous Bonne and Clyde gang, Raymond Hamilton and Gene O’ Dare were held here for robbing the Carmine Bank.
Here's more info:
Fayette County opened its first jail in July, 1838. The cost of the first structure was $460. It was a primitive structure; prisoners were ironed and chained but within 10 years the building was sold. With no jail, prisoners were parceled out to various citizens for safekeeping. The plan worked until a murderer’s apprehension made arrangements for his incarceration in another town necessary.
In 1852, plans were finalized for a new jail that was in use by 1854. This jail was built by German immigrant Heinrich Kreishe, who was a stone mason by trade when he immigrated. You can see his work still at the Monument Hill/ Kreishe Brewery State Park.
By the early 1880’s, the need for a more modern and larger jail was evident and work began on the structure we now call the Old Jail. In November 1881, the county commissioners selected the Victorian Gothic design of Andrewarthe & Wahrenberger as the new look. The building was opened in 1883.

Lübeck - the former capital and Queen City of the Hanseatic League - was founded in the 12th century and prospered until the 16th century as the major trading centre for northern Europe. It has remained a centre for maritime commerce to this day, particularly with the Nordic countries. Despite the damage it suffered during the Second World War, the basic structure of the old city, consisting mainly of 15th- and 16th-century patrician residences, public monuments (the famous Holstentor brick gate), churches and salt storehouses, remains unaltered.
Lübeck is the second largest city in Schleswig-Holstein, in northern Germany, and one of the major ports of Germany.Because of its Brick Gothic architectural heritage it was placed on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 2009.

Canada is a hostile country for elephants. There is plenty to eat here; people love animals, so that's not the reason. The Elephants (known then as Mammoths) all emigrated to warmer climates of Africa, Thailand or India about 5000 years ago. The Mom's name is Tembo and it is modeled after San Diego Zoo resident. Tembo was used to be a Hollywood actor before retiring to a Zoo. Derrick Hudson completed the sculpture in 2002 commissioned by Lou Odette. Commerce court with all the offices did not see much pedestrian traffic in last 2 years, so the elephants bring some kind of life into the large square. Tembo died relatively young in 2019. The life style of Hollywood stars can be demanding.

Last in the series of shots taken at Wangara Estate. I found these cable reels quite photogenic in the middle of a deserted paddock

The BNSF market local job splits the monolithic infrastructure of the Suncor oil refinery in Commerce City as it heads west.
the sun is a sharp chisel, carving light into the tiled floor.
the shopping cart casts a shadow of industrial purpose, a precise grid.

it shapes the space, an artificial sun in an artificial world.

Talatamaty (Madagascar) - A Talatamaty et dans toute la Grande-île, si on a une maison qui donne sur une rue, on ouvre un commerce. C’est une obligation. Une pratique quasi-culturelle.
Talatamaty se trouve dans la proche périphérie de la capitale, Antananarivo. Une ville où le niveau de vie est un peu au-dessus de la moyenne nationale. Ça ne veut pas dire pour autant qu’on nage dans l’opulence. Il faut être raisonnable, Madagascar est quand même l’un des pays les plus pauvres du monde.
Sur la photo, on peut identifier un commerce de bonne tenue car les morceaux de poulet et les poissons ne sont pas assaillis par les mouches. Et la jeune vendeuse à une chemise toute neuve. Chose rare à Madagascar. Sauf quand on va à la messe, tout le monde revêt ses habits du dimanche.
Talatamaty (Madagascar) - In Talatamaty and throughout the Big Island, if you have a house that overlooks a street, you open a business. It is an obligation. A quasi-cultural practice.
Talatamaty is located on the outskirts of the capital, Antananarivo. A city where the standard of living is a little above the national average. That doesn’t mean we’re swimming in opulence, however. We must be reasonable, Madagascar is still one of the poorest countries in the world.
In the photo, we can identify a well-kept business because the pieces of chicken and fish are not assailed by flies. And the young saleswoman has a brand new shirt. A rare thing in Madagascar. Except when we go to mass, everyone wears their Sunday best.

Middelburg is my place of birth and it's a medieval city with a lot of beautiful ancient buildings. Some of them you can find in my stream. From time to time we go back for a family-visit and a stroll through the city. Last time we had this great golden hour company us at our departure. The sun lit up the modern building of the Chamber of Commerce including it's reflection in a warm golden glowing light. I had to stop and grab my gear from the car to make a photograph of this scene.
Enjoy!

On the other side of the big 'Shun-Tak' building we found (near enough) the same view but at street level. A number of joggers passed us, the occasional hint of music from their earphones filling the air.
The waning afternoon sunlight silhouettes BNSF intermodal S-LBEALT1-09A (Long Beach, CA to Alliance, TX) coming up from the ports as it heads east through Hobart yard.
Like a giant above you and you as the strolling shadow commerce of glass is all around you.
Would also like to mention that this is a early morning sun glow that crosses paths on both of these high risers.Cool or what !
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul.... Darrell
Have a safe and happy day dear Flickr friends !
Now, officially finished (Alright Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.) The last details are the rotating deck cannon and the lifeboats. I've wanted to build a Confederate sidewheel steamer since I built the Ironclad USS Cairo a couple of years back, and when I found the reference material, I knew it was time. The only problem is it still needs a companion vessel to spar with!
