This building originally dates to 1502 (completion). It served as one of the main granaries of the town. The name Mauthalle (= customs hall) dates to the 19th century when the building served as the customs headquarters of Nuremberg (Maut = customs duties). The building is 84 m long, 20 m wide and 29 m tall.
During an allied bombing raid in the night of March 8th/9th 1943 the roof structure burned out, the building was covered with a provisional roof afterwards. During another allied bombing raid on October 3rd 1944 the walls received just slight shrapnel damage, but finally during the bombing raid on January 2nd 1945 the building was hit heavily, the eastern gable and the southern walls collapsed, the building burned out completely.
Reconstruction after WWII lasted from 1951 to 1953 in slightly simplified form.
Today it serves as an office building with shops in the ground floor, the basement houses the restaurant Mautkeller which features a microbrewery.

This building is near completion and I think I stumbled across it at just the right time. When I photographed it all the windows were still protected by a blueish protective coating of some kind which I think added to the distinct look of the building. If you look closely you'll see that the exterior is clearly unfinished as the base of the balconies have not yet been clad.
Apologies to anyone that commented on my "Cost of Covid" triptych picture that I posted yesterday. It obviously did not strike a chord with people and as I was unsure of it myself I thought I'd take it down.
Das Schloß Neuschwanstein wurde ab 1869 für den bayerischen Märchenkönig & Schöngeist Ludwig II. als idealisierte Vorstellung einer Ritterburg aus der Zeit des Mittelalters errichtet. Die Entwürfe stammen von Christian Jank, die Ausführung übernahmen Eduard Riedel und Georg von Dollmann. Der König lebte nur wenige Monate im Schloss, er starb noch vor der Fertigstellung der Anlage.
Neuschwanstein ist das berühmteste der Schlösser Ludwigs II. und eine der bekanntesten Sehenswürdigkeiten Deutschlands. Es wird jährlich von etwa 1,5 Millionen Touristen besucht - jetzt auch von mir. Hier eine klassische Ansicht der Südseite von der Marienbrücke zur Blauen Stunde, die einige Geduld seitens des Fotografen erforderte, bis die Brücke endlich menschenleer war und sich nur noch kaum bewegte.
Neuschwanstein was built in 1869 for King Ludwig II. of Bavaria erected as an idealized idea of a knight’s castle from the time of the Middle Ages. The designs were created by Christian Jank, the design was taken over by Eduard Riedel and Georg von Dollmann. The king lived only a few months in the castle, he died before the completion of the plant. Neuschwanstein is the most famous of the castles of Ludwig II. and one of the most famous sights in Germany. It is visited annually by about 1. 5 million tourists – now also by me. Here is a classic view of the south side from the Marienbridge at the blue hour, which required some patience on the part of the photographer until the bridge was finally deserted and barely moved.

he Egypt-Soviet monument was built to mark the completion of the construction of the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s.
Designed by sculptor Ernst Neizvestny.
A rare wet snowfall hit Virginia over the past couple of days and it truly left behind one incredible sight. The snow caked onto the trees and as the sun went down it truly was one of the most beautiful and spectacular sights one's eyes could behold! What a beautiful world we live in that was uniquely handcrafted by a Creator who did not stop at good enough, but finished the job in beautiful completion.
12 years, 3 months and 23 days after I started I finally completed the 630 mile long South West Coast Path. It was an amazing physical and emotional challenge with incredible scenery all the way. So much changed since that day in April 2006 when I started walking the path. In that time I acquired a Masters degree and a second daughter!
This was a great day to mark the passing of an era - my last walk in the UK for quite a time and the eve of a new life in Thailand. We flew out of the UK exactly one week after this picture was taken. Our lives have changed immeasurably since; I cannot even begin to describe how much has changed and the adventures we have had since!
Half term is upon us now, so I won't be posting or commenting for a while. I shall be back with Thailand pictures in a couple of weeks, beginning a sequence of walks I have completed over the past year.
Many thanks for all your kind comments and feedback - your encouragement is always greatly appreciated. If you would like to read more about this walk please see my blog entry at worthingwanderer.blogspot.com/2018/10/south-west-coast-pa...
The castle in Malbork seen from the other side. We are going to the castle museum now :)
The Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork, the largest Gothic castle complex in the world, is a 13th-century Teutonic castle and fortress located near the town of Malbork on the river Nogat in Poland. It was originally constructed by the Teutonic Knights, a German Catholic religious order of crusaders, in a form of an Ordensburg fortress. The Order named it Marienburg in honour of Mary, mother of Jesus. In 1457, during the Thirteen Years’ War, it was sold by the Bohemian mercenaries to King Casimir IV of Poland in lieu of indemnities and it since served as one of the several Polish royal residences and the seat of Polish offices and institutions, interrupted by several years of Swedish occupation, and fulfilling this function until the First Partition of Poland in 1772. From then on the castle was under German rule for over 170 years until 1945. The castle is a classic example of a medieval fortress and, on its completion in 1406, was the world's largest brick castle. UNESCO designated the "Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork" and the Malbork Castle Museum a World Heritage Site in December 1997.

Kolejny widok zamku w Malborku. Idziemy teraz zwiedzać muzeum zamkowe :)
Zamek w Malborku – jeden z największych zamków na świecie, położony na prawym brzegu Nogatu, wzniesiony w kilku etapach od 1280 do poł. XV w. przez zakon krzyżacki. Początkowo konwentualna siedziba komtura, od 1309 po przeniesieniu przez Siegfrieda von Feuchtwangena stolicy zakonu do Malborka, siedziba wielkich mistrzów zakonu krzyżackiego i władz Prus Zakonnych do 1457, w latach 1457–1772 rezydencja królów Polski, od 1466 siedziba władz Prus Królewskich, od 1568 siedziba Komisji Morskiej, w 1772 zajęty przez administrację Królestwa Prus i zdewastowany w latach 1773–1804; rekonstruowany w latach 1817–1842 i 1882–1944, zniszczony w 1945, ponownie rekonstruowany od 1947; w 1949 wpisany do rejestru zabytków, w 1994 uznany za pomnik historii, w 1997 wpisany na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO jako jeden z najznakomitszych przykładów średniowiecznej architektury obronno-rezydencyjnej w Europie Środkowej. Od 1961 zamek jest siedzibą Muzeum Zamkowego w Malborku.
The completion of this corner makes the completion of three full sims in the same amount of months!!! Sim Building? Well I guess not in a pure sense if you don't make everything from scratch. Sim Styler? Landscaper? Designer? Whatever, I am a mad man with it. So three full sims, three months, paid and each sim I got a plot of land on as part of my deal, lmao. Two and a half weeks until I start the next one.
The 1929 designed art deco Pier Pavilion, opened in 1930 by the council, was used as a venue for traditional seaside entertainment, as well as a concert hall. As it lacked heating, the hall was greatly under utilised in the winter, although was used as a cinema, dance hall (Marina ballroom), and nightclub.[2]
From the 1960s onwards, it was rented out to a series of commercial tenant customers, who used it as a restaurant and snooker club. In 1961, former Olympics gymnast Gwynedd Lingard founded the Penarth and district gymnastics club, which today is the sole tenant.[2]
However, the building is now in a very dilapidated state. In 2008, the charity Penarth Arts & Crafts Ltd (PACL) was formed to restore the pavilion. In November 2009 PACL were awarded a Heritage Lottery Fund grant of £99,600 to develop plans for detailed restoration. PACL have now developed a £3.9m refurbishment scheme, to use enable the pavilion to be restored as a cinema, cafe, observatory and multi-purpose community complex. After planning permission was granted for the project, the HLF awarded PACT a further £1.68m in May 2011. The project is scheduled for completion in Spring 2013.[10][11]
Yes, it's another Cuddly Couple! The point was to show off Din's magnificent feathery collar, but I somehow dominated the scene nonetheless. No light without shadows, and it is the same for me with Din: he is an essential part of my existence, without which I would scatter and dissolve. When I am tired of shining, I can cloak myself in his darkness and rest.
Berlin Hauptbahnhof is the main railway station in Berlin, Germany.] It came into full operation two days after a ceremonial opening on 26 May 2006. It is located on the site of the historic Lehrter Bahnhof, and on the Berlin S-Bahn suburban railway. The station is owned by DB InfraGO, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG, and is classified as a Category 1 station, one of 21 in Germany and four in Berlin, the others being Berlin Gesundbrunnen, Berlin Südkreuz and Berlin Ostbahnhof.
Lehrter Bahnhof (Lehrte Station) opened in 1871 as the terminus of the railway linking Berlin with Lehrte, near Hanover, which later became Germany's most important east–west main line. In 1882, with the completion of the Stadtbahn (City Railway, Berlin's four-track central elevated railway line, which carries both local and main line services), just north of the station, a smaller interchange station called Lehrter Stadtbahnhof was opened to provide connections with the new line. This station later became part of the Berlin S-Bahn. In 1884, after the closure of nearby Hamburger Bahnhof (Hamburg Station), Lehrter Bahnhof became the terminus for trains to and from Hamburg.
Following heavy damage during World War II, limited services to the main station were resumed, but then suspended in 1951. In 1957, with the railways to West Berlin under the control of East Germany, Lehrter Bahnhof was demolished, but Lehrter Stadtbahnhof remained as a stop on the S-Bahn. In 1987, it was extensively renovated to commemorate Berlin's 750th anniversary. After German reunification, it was decided to improve Berlin's railway network by constructing a new north–south main line, to supplement the east-west Stadtbahn. Lehrter Stadtbahnhof was considered to be the logical location for a new central station.

I find consolation in Hölderlin’s words: “What we are here, yonder, a God is able to complete.” I put this together with T. S. Eliot’s deep intuition: “What might have been and what has been Point to one end, which is always present.”
The more I ponder these poetic insights, the more I come to trust that all positive efforts are somehow finding completion in a timeless realm. I cannot give any evidence of this, but the good, the true, the beautiful is, in its essence, not subject to time. All that we sacrifice for the true, the beautiful, and the good, all the effort we expend out of love, cannot be lost. What can I say? We need this conviction or else we would despair.

Upon completion of swapping loads for empties at the Holcim cement plant at Devils Slide, UP's Evanston Local is back on the move on Jan. 16, 2024. At the same time, a Global 2 - Lathrop intermodal crosses the Weber River truss bridge, emerging from Utah's scenic Wilhelmina's Pass.
Lock 31 was located at Firebrick, Kentucky. Work began in 1912 but weather delays plagued completion until the dam's 1920 dedication. Final construction costs ended up costing over a million dollars. The locks remained in operation until December of 1964. The Mehdahl Dam in Foster, Kentucky replaced #31. The locks and dam were then removed. On 3/8/1967 Edward Glockner, a Portsmouth, Ohio businessman purchased, at an auction, the remaining acreage and the remaining buildings including a Revival Style Power House with it's 60' chimney, the blacksmith shop, the garage and the lock men's bungalows. Today the buildings are preserved and a beautiful little community exists at the site at Kirkville in the eastern edge of Lewis County.
Hoof, Horace, and I were gathered around the table having breakfast and planning our day out, just like any normal family.
On completion H & H put their cereal bowls and wine glasses into the dishwasher, folded their serviettes and put into the washing machine, so we were all set to saddle Hoof up and roar off on another adventure.
First stop St Michael’s Mount to carry out a courtesy call on Denzil Penberthy and Slipalong Trevaskis. I am sure you know these two legends of Cornish folklore have been in charge of security at the Mount since about 1473, and thankfully there has not been any security breaches during their term in office.
This is due mainly to the fact that Penbethy has this ability to drink any wannabe trouble maker under the table.
So we had a few social drinks, no exhibition drinking as it was still early in the day. During the time we were on the Mount (time flies when you are having fun) the tide had covered the causeway which you access the Mount by on foot, so we had to take the amphibious vehicle back to the mainland (well worth googling)
Horace did not like this mode of transport at all so he dived off the AV and swam back, being a pig he can only do porky paddle. He was also muttering something along the lines of “where is my pink surfboard when I need it most”.
Next stop Porth Nanven located in the beautiful Cot Valley which is renowned for its fascinating smooth rounded boulders which are sometimes referred to as dinosaur eggs. This location has really challenged me with the weather conditions on my recent visits and this was going to be no exception.
Hoof had recently been to the Land Rover factory where he had been fitted with the very latest on board weather forecasting radar screens (every horse should be fitted with these). Data from these showed that the evening was going to produce extremely high spring tides coupled with strong offshore winds creating very unpredictable conditions.
The waves were coming in at great speed, force, and height, plus the noise of the boulders being dragged back down the beach from the power of the tide was like bombs going off.
So the personal safety of Hoof, Horace, and myself was paramount.
Therefore I just guessed some camera settings (no change there) waited for the right moment for a slight lull, quickly moved into position, grabbed a couple of shots and out of there, that way I can always come back and have another go one day.
So the three of us went back up to St Just where Horace produced a back pack and a blanket from Hoofs saddle bag, I Said “what have you got there Horace” Oh he said “I thought it would be nice to stop and have a pig-nic”
Thank you all for stopping by and looking at my photos, your comments as always are so appreciated, enjoy this beautiful weather

Art in station architecture
Artwork Title:
This is Wan Chai
Artist Name:
Jevan Chowdhury
Location:
Wan Chai Station
Artwork Completion Date:
March 2020
Concept:
“This is Wan Chai” is an observation of the theatrical stage that everyday life presents, as seen through the lens of magical realism. Images of Wan Chai’s iconic heritage are enriched by the performances of over 40 principal, soloist, coryphée and corps de ballet dancers from the Hong Kong Ballet as well as members of the public. Spanning a length of approximately 150 metres, the artwork reimagines and reinvents the station as a public space at the heart of the local community. In this way, the station is transformed into a living stage of choreographed street scenes that commuters play their part in as they pass through.
“This is Wan Chai” is part of the “Moving Cities” series. Commissioned by MTR Corporation and jointly initiated with Hong Kong Design Centre, it was made in collaboration with Hong Kong Ballet, Treacle Media, UK’s Department for International Trade and Conran + Partners. Moving Cities is part of an on-going global inventory of film and photographic work in which world cities are transcribed through dance.
It's time to celebrate the completion of another year and 365 project. I found and followed a tutorial by a very talented photographer, Dina Belekno - the link for the tutorial for those who may want to play along is: iso.500px.com/tutorial-how-to-shoot-a-fiery-festive-still....
My husband is such a good guy and helped me make sure I didn't burn down the house shooting this.
Over the year I feel that my photography has grown and improved and that I met my original goal of using light to make everyday objects interesting. I also have been very fortunate to have made friends and found wonderful inspiration along the way. I am going to dive in and try again in 2016. I decided to get a business license and try and make a little money with this hobby/obsession of mine. Any advice in this area would be appreciated.
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

Hongkong Airport: Interior view of Midfield Concourse
Midfield Concourse
On 25 January 2011, Airport Authority Hong Kong (AA) unveiled phase 1 of its midfield development project which is targeted for completion by the end of 2015. The midfield area is located to the west of Terminal 1 and between the two existing runways. It is the last piece of land on the airport island available for large-scale development. This will include 20 aircraft parking stands, three of these will be wide enough to serve the Airbus A380 and cater for an additional 10 million passengers annually. Passengers will reach the concourse through an extension of the underground automated people mover. A Joint Venture of Mott MacDonald and Arup led the design of the project, supported by a range of consultants including Architecture firm Aedas. The Concourse began operations on 28 December 2015, and the first flight that used it was the HX658 operated by the Hong Kong Airlines flying from Hong Kong to Okinawa. On 31 March 2016, the Concourse was officially inaugurated in a ceremony marking its full commissioning.
A week ago Friday I posted a shot of this house under construction last May, before any siding went on. Here it is getting what I assume are the finishing touches for occupancy this summer.

Shashti Poorti is celebrated on completion of 60 years of age of the male. This term is derived from Sanskrit in which Shashti means sixty; abda–year; poorthi-completion. It marks completion of half the years of one's lifetime as in Hinduism, 120 years is considered the life span of a human being. The sixtieth year in one’s life is a significant milestone, memorable turning point, a touching reminder of the rich, mellowed life that would unfold in the years to come. In fact, the Hindu calendar has 60 years (named Prabhava, Vibhava, etc.) that repeat themselves after every 60 years in a sequence. Shashti poorthi marks the completion of one such cycle. For example, a person born in the year Pramodoota and has lived for 60 years will have seen all the 60 years in the calendar. This milestone marks celebration and gratitude for life given by God. So once his birthday arrives in Pramodootha year, he performs his Shashti poorthi. In recent days, children started doing this ritual to their parents, just as their parents performed all of their rituals in their childhood.-- WIKIPEDIA
It is Half Nekkid Thursdays and I am happy about that. Not because I get to show my ass again, but because by tomorrow my home addition will be 1 week away from completion. WOOOHOOO! I will once again be able to run around half naked and not worry about "workers" in my house.
two new residential buildings in White Rock with interesting architectural design - curved balconies - are almost complete. They look really nice against the blue skies and white clouds.

The Chemin du Roy is a historic road along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec. The road begins in Repentigny and extends almost 280 kilometres (170 mi) eastward towards Quebec City. In 1706, the Conseil supérieur of New France decreed that a road be built to connect the settlements along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. Work began in 1731 and was completed in 1737. Upon completion, the Chemin du Roy was 7.4 metres (24 ft) wide, over 280 kilometres (170 mi) long, and crossed 37 seignories. The Chemin du Roy was the longest road in existence at the time north of Mexico.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Kop van Zuid, Tree, Huis Op Zuid, Lifts (uncut)
The 'Huis Op Zuid' residential building is on the site of the former NS /RET rail yard and, after that, 'De Rotterdamse Munt,' a biological gardening project. Shown is the front and a side façade. The building is close to completion.
About the project: “Fifty per cent of the apartments are intended for people with a vital profession such as teachers, police officers and people in healthcare. They're given priority for two months.” So, the developer shows some social responsibility. Next to the building is the new Sports centre Feijenoord. The centre consists of a swimming pool (with a 25-meter pool and an instruction pool) and a sports hall that can be divided into sections and catering facilities.” Design: Koen van Velsen architecten.
