The building of the Bavarian State Chancellery.
The central part is a remnant of the former Bayerische Armeemuseum (Bavarian Army Museum), which was destroyed in World War II. The side wings of the museum were demolished after the war, the central part of the building stood in ruins for decades and was restored only in 1982.
In 1993 the new side wings were completed - after years long disputes about the design.

When the last leave falls,
When the last drop of water dries out,

Will it be too late to understand that money is not going to save us?

Even strong concrete structures are destroyed when wind and waves work together. But they can also make great photo motifs, on evenings like this.

Weather
Rain
Water is the Essence of Life. No living thing can survive very long without it. It is incredibly old. We have the same rain as the ancients did and before their existence. It signifies the power to purify, to give deliverance, and it can also destroy evil and enemies in flood as in the Biblical stories. It is awesome as it is kind. It is benign, it is malignant, for we live or die without it. What a miraculous thing it is, it can engulf you but you cannot hold it in the palm of your hand. It can scold you, it can freeze you, it can inspire and frighten in the very next breath. I will always respect it in its many forms.
These are just a few images of rain observed ……….
In an Enchanted Rose Garden Destroyed by Indignant Old Ladies’ Fatal Lobbying
While I was taking pictures here one day, two old ladies appeared behind me and cried shame and scandal at the sight of the untidy state of this rosarium at some extent left to itself. I, on the other hand, had year after year enjoyed the enchantment of this sleepy rose garden at the Donaukanal in Vienna and found lots and lots of wonderful photo motifs there. I could not foresee the impending disaster at that moment.
Old ladies indignant at untidiness are a natural force that can't be stopped with bare hands (except by strangling them in time, but this isn't allowed by the law). In the spring of the next year, when I wanted to look for the first rose blossoms there, I found a construction site fence with the announcement that they were laying out a new rosarium... I waited one year for the result.
The result? The result is shattering. The result is tidiness without any roses. It's an annoying alibi parkway. The Vienna municipality gardeners are doing great jobs. Any of their parkways is worth being photographed, because they follow their excellent ideas, except this one, which is the result of the indignant old ladies' fatal lobbying.
Luckily I have dozens of photos of this wonderful rosarium destroyed by human stupidity in my archives...

A hole left in the heart of White Rock
The beloved, 114 yr old landmark pier in White Rock, BC Canada was severely damaged by a windstorm that ripped through Metro Vancouver, BC Canada on December 20th, 2018
The White Rock Pier is a historic landmark dating back to the 1920's and one of White Rock's finest tourist attractions boasting over 1,540 feet of boardwalk.
In this scene, you will notice some of the remains of many destroyed sailboats.
During the storm the boats were ripped away from an attached dock, at the end of the pier, and were aggressively tossed around, beaten and smashed to pieces, by the high force winds and rough waves.
I appreciate your kind words of support and would like to thank-you all, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography

This all white mushroom, known as the Destroying Angel (Amanita sp.), contains a potent toxin (amatoxin) and is extremely poisonous if consumed.
The mushroom is widespread in East North America. It forms a network that is intricately associated with the roots of certain trees and facilitates the uptake of essential nutrients, such as phosphates and nitrogen compounds that would otherwise be unavailable to the host plant ( known as an ectomycorrhizal association).

Italia, Toscana, Nozzano Castello, Estate 2021
Il Castello di Nozzano è un castello medievale che costituiva un avamposto del sistema difensivo lucchese. Una posizione di grande importanza strategica, a cavallo del conteso confine tra Lucca e Pisa. In origine la struttura era in legno e fu prima distrutta da Pisa due volte. Fu ricostruita per l'ultima volta nel 1395. L'attuale edificio risale a questa ricostruzione. Il castello fu utilizzato fino alla fine del 1500 per il controllo delle imbarcazioni lungo il fiume Serchio, poi la sua importanza strategica e militare decadde.
The Castle of Nozzano is a medieval castle that was an outpost of the Lucca defensive system. A position of great strategic importance, straddling the heatedly contested border between Lucca and Pisa. Originally, the structure was in wood and it was first destroyed by Pisa twice. It was rebuilt for the last time in 1395. The current building dates back to this reconstruction. The castle was used until the late 1500s to control the boats along the Serchio river, then its strategic and military importance declined.
According to local legend, Helfštýn is named after the robber Helfried of Linva, who founded it. The castle was probably built in the last quarter of the 13th century. Around 1320 Vok of Kravař, a member of a prominent Moravian noble family, became the owner of the castle. Helfštýn remained in the possession of the Kravař family for more than a hundred years and underwent far-reaching structural changes during this period. Construction work began on a larger scale in the first half of the 14th century, but the main reconstruction of the castle into a Gothic fortress did not take place until the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century. The Kravařs mainly improved the fortifications of Helfštýn. They replaced the makeshift fortification of the old parkland with a thick stone wall with four bastions, built a prismatic tower over the entrance to the castle itself and secured it with a drawbridge, built a fortified forecourt on the south side and cut the ridge of the hill with a moat carved into the rock.
The era of the Pernštejn family
In 1474, William of Pernštejn took over the castle estate and proceeded to its further reconstruction. In the last quarter of the 15th century,
Helfštýn Castle was enlarged with a thoroughly fortified, extensive farm forecourt (completed in 1480) and another forecourt, which formed a new outpost defending the entire enlarged building. At the same time, the fortifications of the old Kravaře castle were improved with bastions and a new system of towers and gates. The castle's ground plan was definitively given an elongated shape, and in its external form the perfect fortification system significantly overlapped all the other architectural elements.
Renaissance reconstruction
At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, the inner core of the castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance residence. The old castle palace was demolished, along with part of its original Gothic fortifications, and a magnificent Renaissance palace was built on the vacant space, in sharp contrast to the extensive system of late Gothic fortifications that surrounded it.
The destruction of the castle
In 1656, quite extensive demolition work was carried out, which, although it did not damage the fortifications of Helfštýn too much, definitively deprived it of the character of a manor house. And thus began the long-term destruction of the castle. The destruction was accelerated in the second half of the 18th century by the Ditrichstein family with demolition works. These attempts culminated in 1817, when part of the inner castle was destroyed by artillery fire.
Present day
The present-day character of the castle is that of a fortress with six gates and a series of 18th-century buildings and ramparts. Since the 19th century, the castle has been presented as a tourist and heritage site. Nowadays it has become a natural cultural centre of the region, with various cultural events taking place here throughout the season

Fitting in that just past those scraggly pine trees is our 22' lighted cross, that but for the growth, can be seen all over the Lompoc Valley from it's 400 foot elevation above town at the south edge of H Street.
It was built in 1912 to commemorate the destruction of the first Mission Concepcion Purisima de Maria Santisima. It was destroyed on December 8, 1812 in a huge 7.1 earthquake -- we still pass that split in the ravine going home every day.

Passed again a week ago (April, 2023) around and is there no more. There was a fire and probably was destroyed or removed when the fire was put out.
The castle has only been partially rebuilt since its demolition in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The earliest castle structure was built before 1214 and later expanded into two castles circa 1294; however, in 1537, a lightning bolt destroyed the upper castle. The present structures had been expanded by 1650, before damage by later wars and fires. In 1764, another lightning bolt caused a fire which destroyed some rebuilt sections.

This partially destroyed packhorse bridge on Bodmin Moor is Grade II-listed and thought to date from the early 1800s. It crosses the stream known as Penpont Water, which subsequently flows through Altarnun. The hamlet of Bowithick is a couple of hundred yards away, out of shot to the left. There are the remains of an ancient settlement in this area, and Bowithick is mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086). On the far side of the bridge is a small stone footbridge and a ford for vehicles.
