Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa (centro di buddhismo tibetano) - Pomaia - Toscana
"" Ci sono solo due giorni all’anno in cui non puoi fare niente: uno si chiama ieri, l’altro si chiama domani, perciò oggi è il giorno giusto per amare, credere, fare e, principalmente, vivere. ""
Tenzin Gyatso - Dalai Lama
Immerso nel verde delle colline toscane, precisamente a Pomaia, frazione del Comune di Santa Luce, in provincia di Pisa, si trova l’Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa, uno dei centri per lo studio e la pratica del buddhismo più importante d’Europa.
La Statua di Cenresig fu inagurata daL Dalai Lama nel Giugno 2014. la statua più alta d’Europa di Cenresig (in tibetano) / Avalokiteshvara (in sanscrito), il Buddha della compassione, di cui si ritiene che i Dalai Lama siano la manifestazione terrena.
Ha una storia molto particolare: fu realizzata dallo scenografo Dante Ferretti per il film di Martin Scorsese “Kundun”; una volta finite le riprese il set fu demolito, ma la statua si è salvata, e dopo aver viaggiato dal Marocco in Italia, è arrivata qui, dove lo scultore Alessio Pazzini e il suo staff l’hanno restaurata per farla aderire ai precisi canoni iconografici buddhisti.
In quest’oasi di pace convivono monaci e laici, per lo più volontari e studenti che seguono corsi di filosofia, psicologia e meditazione, ma è aperto a chiunque voglia trascorrere un periodo, o anche solo qualche ora, lontano dal caos cittadino, circondato dalla natura, respirando aria buona e dove anziché le notifiche dei cellulari si sentono gli uccellini cinguettare.

Lama Tzong Khapa Institute (center of Tibetan Buddhism) - Pomaia - Tuscan - Italy
"" There are only two days a year when you can't do anything: one is called yesterday, the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and, above all, live. ""
Tenzin Gyatso- Dalai Lama
Nestled in the green Tuscan hills, precisely in Pomaia, part of the Municipality of Santa Luce, in the province of Pisa, is the Lama Tzong Khapa Institute, one of the most important centers for the study and practice of Buddhism in Europe.
The Statue of Cenresig was inaugurated by the Dalai Lama in June 2014. The tallest statue in Europe of Cenresig (in Tibetan) / Avalokiteshvara (in Sanskrit), the Buddha of compassion, of which it is believed that the Dalai Lamas are the earthly manifestation .
It has a very special history: it was created by set designer Dante Ferretti for Martin Scorsese's film "Kundun"; once the shooting was finished the set was demolished, but the statue was saved, and after traveling from Morocco to Italy, arrived here, where sculptor Alessio Pazzini and his staff restored it to make it adhere to the precise iconographic canons Buddhists.
In this haven of peace monks and lay people live together, mostly volunteers and students who follow courses in philosophy, psychology and meditation, but it is open to anyone who wants to spend a period, or even just a few hours, away from the chaos of the city, surrounded by the nature, breathing good air and where instead of cell phone notifications birds are heard chirping.
There were 4 lighthouses built on Wicklow head. Three of them are still standing. The first two were built in 1781. In 1810 the roof blew off one of them and it was replaced 30 years later. It is now used as a holiday home and you can stay in your very own lighthouse. The second one was demolished and replaced with this one and the one further down the cliff { see photos 5th,7th and 8th photo back in my stream and album below } and which is still operational, were both built in 1866.
Its said that the first pair couldnt be seen in a fog as they were in the wrong position but it has more likely to do with the lights themselves which used tallow made from beef and mutton fat, and were not bright enough.
Here is a nice piece from the B.B.C. series "Coast" which gives some interesting info on the area and also Bray head with its unique walk and railway,

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the early 12th century when King Øystein Magnusson (c. 1088– 1123) ordered that a church be built in Vågan to serve the Lofoten area. The first church was likely a stave church and it was located about 200 metres (660 ft) west of the present site of the church. In the mid-1600s, the old church was enlarged and renovated, giving the building a cruciform design. After centuries of use, the old church deteriorated and in 1712 or 1713 the old church began to collapse and so it was torn down. A new church was built on the same site in 1713-1714. It was a timber-framed long church design with a tower on the roof and a cemetery surrounding the church. This church was in use for nearly a century when in 1798, it was disassembled and moved to the nearby island of Værøya where it was rebuilt as the Værøy Church. A new church was built in Vågan to replace the one that was moved away. The new church was a timber building in a cruciform design.
In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke).Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet in Eidsvoll later that year.
By the late 1800s, the Kabelvåg area had seen a lot of population growth due to the tremendous fishing opportunities each season. In 1898, a new church was built about 200 metres (660 ft) to the east of the old church. It was designed to be large enough to accommodate all the fishermen who came to Kabelvåg each season. It was nicknamed the "Lofoten Cathedral" (Lofotkatedralen) by Eivind Berggrav, the Bishop of the Diocese of Oslo in 1929. The church was designed in Gothic revival style by the architect Carl Julius Bergstrøm (1828-1898). The new church was consecrated on 9 October 1898. After the new church was completed, the "old church" was still located just across the road for a couple of years until it was demolished in the summer of 1900.
Buckfast Abbey forms part of an active Benedictine monastery at Buckfast, near Buckfastleigh, Devon. Buckfast has been home to an abbey since 1018. The first Benedictine abbey was followed by a Savignac (later Cistercian) abbey constructed on the site of the current abbey in 1134. The monastery was surrendered for dissolution in 1539, with the monastic buildings stripped and left as ruins, before being finally demolished. The former abbey site was used as a quarry, and later became home to a Gothic mansion house.
In 1882 the site was purchased by a group of French Benedictine monks, who refounded a monastery on the site, dedicated to Saint Mary. New monastic buildings and a temporary church were constructed incorporating the existing Gothic house. Work on a new abbey church, which was constructed mostly on the footprint of the former Cistercian abbey, started in 1907. The church was consecrated in 1932 but not completed until 1938.
Buckfast was formally reinstated as an Abbey in 1902, and the first abbot of the new institution, Boniface Natter, was blessed in 1903. The abbey continues to operate as a Benedictine foundation today.

This barn was a very recognizable landmark along busy SR 19 where it intersects with CR 36. It appeared to be in good shape but suddenly was demolished around 2007. The design of the painted arches on the doors was the most common way barns looked for many years here in Indiana.

Recently, the city of Brantford, Ontario announced its plans to demolish and remove forty-one structures from the south side of Colborne Street, in the heart of its historic downtown. The structures themselves date from 1850 to 1915 with the section stretching from 115 to 139 Colborne comprising one of the longest surviving collections of pre-confederation buildings in Canada. They represent a wide variety of architectural styles from the Beaux Arts of The Right House (1870), to the Georgian of The Shannon Building (1867), to the Edwardian of the Dominion House Furnishings Company (1915). Within that range are also included a number of Renaissance Revival, Second Empire and even Art Deco structures, all of which were created at different times, for different clients with different needs. They could very soon all be reduced to rubble

George Washington’s barn, reconstruction, in Mount Vernon, Virginia
The original wheat threshing barn was built between 1792-1794, and demolished ~ 1875. The barn was 2-story, 16-sided, brick and wooden structure. On the 2nd floor, there are an open space in the center and a hallway following the outer wall. The hallway has wooden floor, leaving a space between wood boards.
In the fall, they brought wheat upstairs and spreaded out. After wheats were dried, flail was used to separate grains in the center area. For wheats in the outer hallway, they made horses to walk around the hallway repeatedly. Separated wheat grains fell onto the 1st floor through the space between wood boards. Then collected grains were brought to the grist mill for flour.
During GW's time, the Mount Vernon was ~ 8,000 acres. As an independent plantation owner, GW needed to invent new scientific way to feed a huge population in the plantation and hundreds of guests annually.

While most people associate the deteriorating building on the west side of Main Street between Central Parkway and 12th Street with the Davis Furniture Company, the history of the building goes further back than the business' arrival in 1939. Davis Furniture was founded in 1902 and had a store on Sycamore Street until 1931, when they moved to the now-demolished Jefferson Hall at the southwest corner of 12th and Main.
The Alto Herald building was built in the mid 1890s. The Alto Herald Newspaper was published and printed weekly on-site beginning in 1896. It's final issue ran in 1966.
