Kasteel Medemblik of Radboud staat aan de oostkant van de haven in Medemblik. Het kasteel dateert uit 1288 en is gebouwd in opdracht van Floris V. Het kasteel was een zogenoemde dwangburcht want Floris wilde niet alleen een dam opwerpen tegen de veelvuldige infiltraties in zijn gebied door de Friezen, maar ook steunpunten hebben waar hij de pas onderworpen West-Friezen onder de duim kon houden.
Oorspronkelijk had het kasteel in grote lijnen dezelfde plattegrond als kasteel Muiderslot.Daarvan resteren nog twee woonvleugels, twee vierkante torens en een ronde hoektoren. De rest is in de loop der eeuwen verdwenen, alleen de contouren zijn nog zichtbaar.
Op 4 september 1939 werd Rembrandts schilderij De Nachtwacht hier tijdelijk in veiligheid gebracht, voordat het in mei 1940 naar een bunker in de duinen bij Castricum verhuisde.

The Former Convalescent Home of Saint Paul is a manificent civic building of the XVII century built for the convalescence of the sick at the neighboring Hospital de la Sant Creu (Hospital of the Saint Cross).
Even though the first stone was laid by the bishop Sentís on 26 March 1629, more than fifty years passed until the building was inaugurated, on 25 January 1680.
The Convalescent Home represented a significant improvement in convalescent care.
The figure of Saint Paul (1687) and the four gargoyles at the corner of the Cloister (1677-1679) are works of the baroque sculptor Lluis Bonifac

This place used to be amazing, with small colourful boats lining up each side of the jetty well before I took up photography. Now it is part of an Oyster company, and it still looks great, but nothing compared to what it used to. I've visited this place 5 times, with disappointment on all times apart from this morning, but I still think it isn't good enough for final print and display. Still a great morning, but perhaps time to move onto another location!

The former McArthur Woolen Mill (1871-early 1960s) and Island in Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada.
This five-storey stone structure was constructed by Archibald McArthur in 1871, and served in the beginning as a woolen mill with several different owners until 1907.
In 1907, McArthur Mill was acquired by Bates and Innis who converted the old woolen mill to a knitting factory and ceased operations in the early 1960s.
It is located on McArthur Island, which was man-made, much to my surprise.

Former I&M Rail Link GP9s 123 and 124 at a grain loading facility in New Ulm, MN.
The 123 was built in January 1955 for the Soo Line as #556, later renumbered as 4231. The 124 built in May 1956 as SOO 557, becoming 4232.
The Eagle Roller Mill and the New Ulm Roller Mill combined to make New Ulm the second largest milling center in Minnesota, trailing only Minneapolis. The mill was closed in 1952, shortly after it was acquired by a Minneapolis competitor. The power plant is the only remaining building from the Eagle mill.
