Castle Gardens
Arcen Castle is a double moated stately country house in the Dutch village of Arcen, which is located in the municipality of Venlo (Limburg).
The current castle stands on the site of a destroyed predecessor (the Nije Huys) and was built in 1653 by Marcelis van Gelder, lord of Arcen. His grandson Adolf built the main building in the early 18th century. The castle is constructed of brick with the exception of the frame of the main entrance, which consists of natural stone. The main building was originally a French design of two projecting wings, but the north side was demolished after a fire in the 19th century.
The current castle is in a good condition, and it is part of the Castle Gardens of Arcen.
"Tintern Abbey was founded by Walter de Clare, Lord of Chepstow, on 9 May 1131. It is situated adjacent to the village of Tintern in Monmouthshire, on the Welsh bank of the River Wye, which forms the border between Monmouthshire in Wales and Gloucestershire in England. It was only the second Cistercian foundation in Britain, and the first in Wales. Falling into ruin after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, the remains were celebrated in poetry and often painted by visitors from the 18th century onwards. In 1984 Cadw took over responsibility for the site.
The present-day remains of Tintern are a mixture of building works covering a 400-year period between 1136 and 1536."

As early as 1399 there was evidence of a 'raithuys' on the Market Square. On 16 July 1554 a city fire destroyed the city center and also destroyed the town hall. It was rebuilt the following years. Around 1700, the town hall underwent a major renovation with the current front facade. From then on it also served as a meeting place for the Staten van het Overkwartier van Gelre. In 1695 the construction of a knight's room was started. In 1876 the facade of the town hall was cemented according to a plan of the architect Ch. Weber. In 1905, the town hall was thoroughly restored and extended with, among other things, a new council chamber. From October 1953 to 1955 a renovation was carried out and the Markt 32 building was added to the town hall. Later, a new building (cellar and four floors) was built behind the town hall.
In the turret of the town hall there is a chime or carillon on top of which rotating statues pass. The bells were donated in 1982 on the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the city of Roermond. In 1995, the carillon was supplemented by a group of moving figures revolving around the tower of the town hall every afternoon at 12.00 noon.
Al in 1399 wordt er gesproken van een 'raithuys' aan de Markt. Op 16 juli 1554 legde een stadsbrand de binnenstad in de as en verwoestte ook het stadhuis. Het werd de jaren daarop herbouwd. Rond 1700 kreeg het stadhuis een grote verbouwing met de huidige voorgevel. Het diende vanaf toen ook als vergaderplaats voor de Staten van het Overkwartier van Gelre. In 1695 werd er begonnen met de bouw van een ridderkamer. In 1876 werd de voorgevel van het stadhuis gecementeerd volgens een plan van de architect Ch. Weber. In 1905 werd het stadhuis grondig gerestaureerd en uitgebreid met onder meer een nieuwe raadzaal. Van oktober 1953 tot 1955 werd een renovatie uitgevoerd en werd het pand Markt 32 bij het stadhuis gevoegd. Later werd achter het stadhuis nieuwbouw uitgevoerd (kelder en vier bouwlagen).
In het torentje van het stadhuis bevindt zich een klokkenspel of beiaard waarbovenop draaiende beelden voorbijkomen. De beiaard is in 1982 geschonken ter gelegenheid van het 750-jarig bestaan van de stad Roermond. In 1995 werd het klokkenspel aangevuld met een groep bewegende beelden die elke middag om 12.00 uur rond de toren van het stadhuis draaien.

不思議な幾何学模様に惹かれました

I was attracted to the mysterious geometric pattern
I figured I'd give the gary fong light sphere that I've seen other people use for astrophotography a try. I think it came out ok. I should be able to get something better when its easier to catch the center of the milky way.
A moated castle (Haus Sollbrüggen) which was first mentioned in the 12th century. It burnt down in 1781 and was rebuilt in the same century. In the 19th century the silk manufacturer Peter de Greiff bought the medieval water castle and had it reconstructed in 1840 according to the plans of Adolph von Vagedes in the Classical style.
The building is now used by the municipal music school.

"The Hohenzollern Bridge (German: Hohenzollernbrücke) is a bridge crossing the river Rhine in the German city of Cologne (German Köln). It crosses the Rhine at kilometre 688.5. Originally, the bridge was both a railway and street bridge, however, after its destruction in 1945 and its subsequent reconstruction, it was only accessible to rail and pedestrian traffic.
It is the most heavily used railway bridge in Germany with more than 1200 trains daily, connecting the Köln Hauptbahnhof and Köln Messe/Deutz stations.
The bridge was constructed between 1907 and 1911 after the old bridge, the Cathedral Bridge (Dombrücke), was demolished. The Cathedral Bridge was unable to handle the increasing traffic in Cologne. It was named after the House of Hohenzollern."

"A love lock or love padlock is a padlock which sweethearts lock to a bridge, fence, gate, or similar public fixture to symbolize their love. Typically the sweethearts' names or initials are inscribed on the padlock, and its key is thrown away to symbolize unbreakable love. Since the 2000s, love locks have proliferated at an increasing number of locations worldwide. They are now mostly treated by municipal authorities as litter or vandalism, and there is some cost to their removal. However, there are authorities who embrace them, and who use them as fundraising projects or tourism attractions."
