There is hardly a better place in my area to enjoy a perfect Autumn day than the open-air -museum in Detmold. We spent a whole day in beautiful sunshine without a cloud in this lovely location.
The LWL-Freilichtmuseum in Detmold is a great place to learn and experience the world of our ancestors. The open-air-museum is covered with buildings, tools, animals and plants of countryside life in Northwest Germany in the last couple of centuries. An endless source of inspiration for HDR photography.

MYANMAR, Burma - Ballonfahrt früh morgens über das historische Bagan,
Bagan- auch Arimaddana oder Arimaddanapura, „Stadt Zerbrecher der Feinde“, und Tambadipa, „Kupferland“ oder Tassadessa, „Ausgedörrtes Land“) ist eine historische Königsstadt in Myanmar mit über zweitausend erhaltenen Sakralgebäuden aus Ziegelstein. Der von Tempeln bestandene Bereich erstreckt sich über ca. 36 km² in einer versteppten Landschaft und bildet eine der größten archäologischen Stätten Südostasiens. Bagan liegt in der heutigen Mandalay-Division, 155 km südwestlich der Stadt Mandalay am Ostufer des Irrawaddy, auf halbem Weg zwischen dessen Quelle und der Mündung in den Indischen Ozean und ist heute eines der wichtigsten touristischsten Ziele in Myanmar.

The area made up of temples extends over approx. 36 km² in a stepped landscape and forms one of the largest archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. Bagan is located in what is now the Mandalay Division, 155 km southwest of the city of Mandalay on the east bank of the Irrawaddy, halfway between its source and its mouth in the Indian Ocean and is now one of the most important tourist destinations in Myanmar.
Lake Toblino with Toblino Castle
Das Castel Toblino ist eine Burg auf einer Halbinsel des Lago di Toblino am Ende des Valle dei Laghi. Es liegt etwa 15 Kilometer westlich von Trient.
Die im 12. Jahrhundert errichtete Anlage war ein Lehen der Herren von Toblino, ging im 13. Jahrhundert in den Besitz der Herren von Schloss Campo über, geriet 1495 in den Besitz der Kirche von Trient und gehörte später der Familie Madruzzo. Sie stand wohl ursprünglich auf einer kleinen Insel im Toblinosee. Als dessen Wasserspiegel sank, wurde diese zur Halbinsel.
Der Bau ging möglicherweise aus einem antiken Tempel hervor. Ein in den Laubengang eingemauerter Gedenkstein weist darauf hin, dass hier im 3. Jahrhundert nach Christus die Schicksalsgötter aus dem Stamm der Tublinates verehrt wurden. Am Fuße des Schlosses befinden sich Spuren römischer Bebauung und die Anlage selbst zeigt römisch-rätische Verteidigungsstrukturen. Das Schloss enthält heute noch mittelalterliche Bauelemente wie etwa das Mauerwerk im Westen und den im Nordwesten aufragenden, etwa 20 Meter hohen Turm. Um 1527 wurde das Castel unter Kardinal Bernardo Clesio renoviert und erhielt eine Renaissancefassade.
Germany , Backnang ,
Das dem Heiligen Pankratius geweihte Stift Backnang war ein reguliertes Augustiner-Chorherrenstift.
Es wurde vor 1116 von Hermann II., Markgraf von Verona und Baden, und seiner Frau Judith an der Backnanger Kirche gegründet. 1116 bestätigte Papst Paschalis I. die Gründung. Bereits 1123 musste das Kloster mit Hilfe von Augustinern aus dem Kloster Marbach im Elsass erneuert werden.
St. Pankratius war von 1123 bis 1243 Grablege der mit den Zähringern verwandten Markgrafen von Baden. Durch diese Bedeutung gewann das Kloster rasch an Reichtum und Einfluss.
Schloss Charlottenburg (Charlottenburg Palace) is a Baroque palace in Berlin, located in Charlottenburg, a district of the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf borough.
The palace was built at the end of the 17th century and was greatly expanded during the 18th century. It includes much lavish internal decoration in Baroque and Rococo styles. A large formal garden surrounded by woodland was added behind the palace, including a belvedere, a mausoleum, a theatre and a pavilion. During the Second World War, the palace was badly damaged but has since been reconstructed. The palace with its gardens is a major tourist attraction.

The name origin of Pelkum can be derived from the two syllables: the Old Saxon "Pel" means pole or palisade. "Kum" can be translated with home or homestead, which is also indicated by the old name "Pilicheim."
The first settlements over 1000 years ago were probably surrounded by trees or wooden stakes.
In Pelkum there is a memorial plaque and an honorary grave for those killed in the fighting of the Red Ruhr Army. It is said that the most violent battles took place there in 1920.
Pelkum was part of the Pelkum office in Hamm County when the offices were established in the Prussian Province of Westphalia. On the occasion of the outcropping of the city of Hamm on April 1, 1901, the district of Hamm was formed. After an expansion in 1929, it was renamed Unna County in October 1930.
Weak earthquakes regularly occur in the area of the Sundernrücken mountain range. On 14 January 2021 such an earthquake (magnitude 1.7 on the Richter scale) killed a goat in terror.
Antwerp (Dutch: Antwerpen; French: Anvers) is the largest city in Belgium by area at 204.51 km2 (78.96 sq mi) and the capital of Antwerp Province in the Flemish Region. With a population of 520,504, it is the most populous city center in Belgium, and with a metropolitan population of around 1,200,000 people; it is the second-largest metropolitan region after Brussels.
Antwerp is on the River Scheldt, linked to the North Sea by the river's Westerschelde estuary. It is about 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of Brussels, and about 15 kilometres (9 mi) south of the Dutch border. The Port of Antwerp is one of the biggest in the world, ranking second in Europe and within the top 20 globally. The city is also welknown for being the hub of diamond industry and trade in the world. In 2020, the Globalization and World Cities Research Network rated Antwerp as a Gamma + (third level/top tier) Global City.
Both economically and culturally, Antwerp is and has long been an important city in the Low Countries, especially before and during the Spanish Fury (1576) and throughout and after the subsequent Dutch Revolt. The Bourse of Antwerp, originally built in 1531 and re-built in 1872, was the world's first purpose-built commodity exchange. It was founded before stocks and shares existed, so was not strictly a stock exchange.
The inhabitants of Antwerp are nicknamed Sinjoren, after the Spanish honorific señor or French seigneur, "lord", referring to the Spanish noblemen who ruled the city in the 17th century. The city hosted the 1920 Summer Olympics.
The River Liffey (Irish: An Life) is a river in Ireland, which flows through the centre of Dublin. Its major tributaries include the River Dodder, the River Poddle and the River Camac. The river supplies much of Dublin's water and a range of recreational activities.
Ptolemy's Geography (2nd century AD) described a river, perhaps the Liffey, which he labelled Οβοκα (Oboka). Ultimately this led to the name of the River Avoca.
The Liffey was previously named An Ruirthech, meaning "fast (or strong) runner". The word Liphe (or Life) referred originally to the name of the plain through which the river ran, but eventually came to refer to the river itself. It was also known as the Anna Liffey, possibly from an anglicisation of Abhainn na Life, the Irish phrase that translates into English as "River Liffey". James Joyce embodies the river as "Anna Livia Plurabelle" in Finnegans Wake.
Huis Bergh is a castle in 's-Heerenberg and is one of the largest castles in the Netherlands. It gives its name to the Land van den Bergh and was previously owned by the counts van Bergh.
The building history dates back to the 13th century. The main parts of the castle are from the 14th, 15th and 17th century. In the beginning of the Dutch Revolt the house got damaged by war. In 1735 the castle burned down. In 1912 Huis Bergh and all belongings became the property of Jan Herman van Heek, an industrialist from Enschede.He restored the buildings. In 1939 there was another major fire. Thanks to the help of locals most of the furniture was rescued. Renovation began the same year and was completed in 1941.

The palace was built at the end of the 17th century and was greatly expanded during the 18th century. It includes much lavish internal decoration in Baroque and Rococo styles.

The Boxdorf Windmill is a former windmill built in 1849 in Boxdorf, a district of Moritzburg.
Until 1652, the Boxdorfer and the Reichenberger farmers had to grind their grain in the Plauenschen soil and in the (somewhat closer) Ockrilla Lease Mill. With the Saxon Constitution of 1831, the grinding force fell away.
The first mill at this site, a wooden pint mill, was built in 1839 by the miller Münch from Zuendorf on the Boxdorf Galgenberg (also: Gallberg). The grinding mill was able to grind eight to ten talents of flour daily. In 1847, the mill was sold to Müller Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer from Weferlingen near Magdeburg. The mill burned down in a thunderstorm in 1849 in full operation.
Friedrich Wilhelm sold the remains to his brother Heinrich Christoph Seeländer and ran the Loschwitz watermill himself. Heinrich Christoph rebuilt the mill in 1849 as a stone, defensive-tower-like Dutch mill. This is testified by a sandstone with an engraved year above the original entrance door. Six years later Friedrich Wilhelm returned to Boxdorf in 1855 and took over the mill again from his brother. Around 1860 the house belonging to the mill was probably destroyed by arson. The existing residential building was then built.
In the German War of 1866, the Saxon Army, allied with Austria, gathered near Dresden and occupied the mill. The miller was no longer allowed to grind grain as a pressing.
Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer died in 1877 as a result of a war suffering. Since his descendants had other professions or were too young, the mill came into foreign hands. Friedrich Hermann Müller bought the mill with three meals and a bakery for 11,100 marks. A lightning strike on 27 June 1887 did not result in a fire. Nevertheless, the roof, wings and wave were destroyed. Since in the meantime more efficient working machinery companies had taken over the business, a repair was no longer worthwhile. The mill came to a standstill.
The owner Müller was granted a concession for coffee and beer serving in 1890. Müller opened an economy and on the tower of the mill a wooden observation deck. This was replaced in 1904 by the still existing stone structure with pinnacles.
In 1921 Paul Gantze purchased the mill and had an electric grinding plant reached inside. He moved the banquet to the neighbouring apartment building. In 1927 he built a small hall. The property became a popular excursion restaurant that was in operation until the 1950s.
The Moonlight Pavilion, where the king invite his guests for dinner.
The Preah Thineang Chan Chhaya (Khmer: ព្រះទីន័ងច័ន្ទឆាយា) or "Moonlight Pavilion", is an open-air pavilion that serves as stage for Khmer classical dance in the past and present.
It is one of the most notable buildings of the palace as it easily seen from the outside as it was built alongside a section of the palace walls. The Chan Chhaya Pavilion has a balcony that was used as a platform for viewing parades marching along Sothearos Boulevard of Phnom Penh. The current Pavilion is the second incarnation of the Chanchhaya Pavilion, this one constructed in 1913–14 under King Sisowath to replace the earlier wooden pavilion built under King Norodom.
The current pavilion is of a similar design as the earlier version. The Chanchhaya Pavilion dominates the facade of the Palace on Sothearos Blvd. The Pavilion serves as a venue for the Royal Dancers, as a tribune for the King to address the crowds and as a place to hold state and Royal banquets. Most recently, the Pavilion was used for a banquet and a tribune for the new King at the 2004 coronation of King Norodom Sihamoni.

Die Kuthodaw-Pagode (Pagode der Königlichen Verdienste) ist eine 1868 fertiggestellte Anlage in der myanmarischen Stadt Mandalay. Sie besteht aus 729 Stupas in Form pavillonartiger Tempel, in denen je eine weiße Marmorplatte mit birmanischer Schrift steht.
The Kuthodaw Pagoda (Pagoda of Royal Merit) is a complex completed in 1868 in the Myanmar city of Mandalay. It consists of 729 stupas in the form of pavilion-like temples, each containing a white marble slab with Burmese script.

The Gravensteen (Dutch; literally "Castle of the Counts") is a medieval castle at Ghent, East Flanders in Belgium.
The current castle dates from 1180 and was the residence of the Counts of Flanders until 1353. It was subsequently re-purposed as a court, prison, mint, and even as a cotton factory. It was restored over 1893–1903 and is now a museum and a major landmark in the city.
The origins of the Gravensteen date to the reign of Arnulf I (890–965).[1] The site, which sat between two branches of the river Lys, was first fortified around 1000, initially in wood and later in stone. This was soon transformed into a motte-and-bailey castle which burnt down in around 1176.
The current castle dates to 1180 and was built by Philip of Alsace (1143–1191) on the site of the older fortification. It may have been inspired by crusader castles witnessed by Philip during the Second Crusade. As well a protective citadel, the Gravensteen was intended to intimidate the burghers of Ghent who often challenged the counts' authority. It incorporates a large central donjon, a residence and various smaller buildings. These are surrounded by a fortified, oval-shaped enceinte lined with 24 small échauguettes. It also has a sizeable moat, fed with water from the Lys.
From 1180 until 1353, the Gravensteen was the residence of the Counts of Flanders. The decision to leave was taken by Louis of Male (1330–1384) who transferred the court to the nearby Hof ten Walle.

Der Bau der Uppatasanti-Pagode begann am 12. November 2006 mit der Pfahlzeremonie und wurde im März 2009 unter der Leitung von Than Shwe , dem Leiter des regierenden staatlichen Friedens- und Entwicklungsrates in Birma, abgeschlossen . Die Einladungskarte für die Pfahlzeremonie wurde mit dem Satz "Rajahtani Naypyidaw" (die königliche Hauptstadt, in der der Präsident wohnt) eröffnet. Die Pagode ist 30 cm kürzer als die Shwedagon-Pagode .
"Uppātasanti" bedeutet grob "Schutz vor Unglück". Es ist der Name eines Sūtra , der im frühen 16. Jahrhundert von einem Mönch hergestellt wurde. Es ist in Krisenzeiten zu rezitieren, insbesondere angesichts der ausländischen Invasion.
Uppātasanti Pagoda ; also called the "Peace Pagoda is a prominent landmark in Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar. The pagoda houses a Buddha tooth relic from China. It is nearly a same-sized replica of Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon and stands 99 metres (325 ft) tall.
Leider gehören zur Nürnberger Geschichte auch verschiedene Monumentalbauten der Nazis, so auch die Kongresshalle. Gleichwohl die Bauten jährlich Unsummen an Kosten verschlingen, werden sie erhalten um auch den nachfolgenden Generationen ein Mahnmal zu sein, dass sich dieser Teil der deutschen Geschichte niemals wiederholen darf. Ein Dokumentationszentrum, dass unter anderem in diesem Gebäude untergebracht ist soll dazu beitragen und auch aufklären. Der Besuch der Ausstellungen steht auf dem Lehrplan aller Schulen.
Unfortunately, Nuremberg's history also includes various monumental Nazi buildings, including the Congress Hall. Although the buildings devour enormous sums of money every year, they are preserved as a reminder to future generations that this part of German history must never be repeated. A documentation center that is housed among other things in this building should contribute to this and also enlighten. Visiting the exhibitions is part of the curriculum of all schools.
The Ruhmeshalle (literally "hall of fame") is a Doric colonnade with a main range and two wings, designed by Leo von Klenze for Ludwig I of Bavaria. Built in 1853, it is situated on an ancient ledge above the Theresienwiese in Munich and was built as part of a complex which also includes the Bavariapark and the Bavaria statue. It is built of Kelheim limestone and is 68 metres long and 32 metres deep.
With the construction and exhibition of busts of important people from Bavaria, including the Palatinate, Franconia and Swabia, King Ludwig intended to create a hall of fame that honors laudable and distinguished people of his kingdom, as he did also in the Walhalla memorial for all of Germany.
Loughareema (also Loughaveema, Vanishing lake, in Irish loch in Mhadhma) in the north-east of Northern Ireland is a small lake, periodically, but unpredictable drained.
The phenomenon is valid as for Europe incredibly. The lake unconventional in certain manner lies directly with road close Ballycastle. Sometimes becomes the road for the quiet waters floods, because astonishing-wise the street leads to Ballycastle briefly directly through the lake.
The inhabitants of the area „whisper with a wink“ that even once the foreign road construction engineers could be "tricked" by the lake.
Reason for the unusual phenomenon is that the lake is on a "leaking" chalk bed. If the drain holes with for example peat are blocked, the water cannot run off in the subsoil and gathers again to a lake.
This passes with strong rainfall how these seem in Ireland not seldom, quite quickly – and as abruptly the lake disappears again, as soon as one the described peat to "stoppers" is not thick any more.
Die Geschichte der Kirche reicht bis ins 12. Jahrhundert zurück, aber ihre heutige, barocke Erscheinung verdankt sie dem Wiederaufbau und der Erweiterung im 17. Jahrhundert.
Baroque church Ranshofen-Braunau
The history of the church dates back to the 12th century, but the temple owes its present, Baroque appearance to reconstruction and extension in the 17th century.
Schloss Solitude (von französisch solitude ‚Einsamkeit‘) wurde zwischen 1763 und 1769 von Johann Friedrich Weyhing und Philippe de La Guêpière als Jagd- und Repräsentationsschloss unter Herzog Carl Eugen von Württemberg erbaut.
Im Jahre 1858 wurde „die Solitude“ Teil der Gemeinde Gerlingen (Württemberg). Erst am 1. April 1942 wurde die Solitude in die Stadt Stuttgart eingemeindet. Seit 1956 gehört das Gebiet der Solitude zum Stuttgarter Stadtbezirk Stuttgart-West. Das Schloss oder auch die Eremitage Solitude liegt auf einem langgezogenen Höhenrücken zwischen den Städten Leonberg, Gerlingen und den Stuttgarter Stadtbezirken Weilimdorf und Botnang. Direkt am Rande von dessen nördlichen Abhang erbaut, bietet es einen Ausblick nach Norden ins württembergische Unterland in Richtung Ludwigsburg.
The Luisenhütte Wocklum (also Wocklumer Hammer) in the Balver district of Wocklum is Germany's oldest blast furnace plant with complete facilities.
Perhaps the history of the Luisenhütte dates back to 1732. However, the construction of an iron hut by the Landsberg family can only be documented in 1748.In 1758 the Luisenhütte was taken over by Clemens August von Landsberg.
Ignaz von Landsberg-Velen und Gemen, who took over the holdings in 1812, devoted himself particularly to the expansion of this foundry complex. In his time also falls the 1835 naming: Ludowika (Luise) von Westerholt-Gysenberg was his wife.
In 1854, due to growing competition from the neighbouring Ruhr region, England and Belgium, the hut was expanded and rebuilt.
The Wissen castle is a moated castle southeast from Weeze in the circle Cleve on the left shore of the Niers river. For 500 years it is the headquarters of the family of Loë and one of the best known nobility seats on the Lower Rhine.
In the 14th century when residential tower builds, the castle was changed in the course of his history several times in the taste of the respective time.
After the first rebuilding during the 16th century in the style of the Dutch Renaissance, the second reorganisation followed during the baroque. Between 1876 and 1886 the castle owner at that time allowed to change the whole arrangement then under the direction of Vincenz Statz neo-Gothic and extend.
The last architectural transformation took place in the late 1960th and the early 1970s when the strongly damaged and outdated buildings were redeveloped and were modernised inside.
The house to the house is a water castle coming from the 13-th century in the Angerbach in Ratingen.
The water castle was established around 1276 as a family seat of the nobility gender „vom Haus“ and was a part of a row of defensive arrangements along the Anger, the so-called "Angerlinie".
Amber or Amer Fort is located in Amer (a town with an area of 4 km2), 11 kilometres from Jaipur, Rajasthan state, India. It is one of the principal tourist attractions in the Jaipur area, located high on a hill.Amer Fort was built by Raja Man Singh I. Amer Fort is known for its artistic style of Hindu elements. With its large ramparts, series of gates and cobbled paths, the fort overlooks the Maota Lake, at its forefront.
The aesthetic ambiance of this formidable fort is seen within its walls on a four level layout plan (each with a courtyard) in a well turned out opulent palace complex built with red sandstone and marble consisting of the Diwan-e-Aam or the "Hall of Public Audience", the Diwan-e-Khas or the "Hall of Private Audience", the Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace) or Jai Mandir, and the Sukh Niwas where a cool climate is artificially created by winds that blow over the water cascade within the palace. Hence, the Amer Fort is also popularly known as the Amer Palace.
The palace was lived in by the Rajput Maharajas and their families. At the entrance to the palace near the fort’s Ganesh Gate, there is also a temple dedicated to Sila Devi, a goddess of the Chaitanya cult which was given to Raja Man Singh when he had defeated the Raja of Jessore, Bengal in 1604. (Jessore is now in Bangladesh).
This fort, along with Jaigarh Fort, located immediately above on the Cheel ka Teela (Hill of Eagles) of the same Aravalli range of hills, is considered as one complex, as the two are well connected by a subterranean passage. This passage was meant as an escape route in times of war for the royal family members and others in the Amer Fort to shift to the more redoubtable Jaigarh Fort.
Annual tourist visitation to the Amer Palace in Amer town was reported by the Superintendent of Department of Archaeology and Museums to the Amer Palace as 5000 visitors a day, and 1.4 million visitors were reported during 2007.
Sligo Abbey (Irish: Mainistir Shligigh), a ruined abbey in Sligo, Ireland, (officially called the Dominican Friary of Sligo) was originally built in 1253 by the order of Maurice Fitzgerald, Baron of Offaly. It was destroyed in 1414 by a fire, ravaged during the Nine Years' War in 1595 and once more in 1641 during the Ulster Uprising.
The friars moved out in the 18th century, but Lord Palmerston restored the Abbey in the 1850s. Currently, it is open to the public.
It appears in two short stories by William Butler Yeats: The Crucifixion of the Outcast, set in the Middle Ages, and The Curse of the Fires and of the Shadows describing its destruction in 1641.
