This historic church was constructed in 1875. At that time native people were still hunting bison on the prairies. The young nation of Canada was only eight years old; the Canadian Pacific Railway still nine years in the future. And this church would become the heart of a thriving community, Morleyville, and for a time the largest settlement in what would be southern Alberta.
UPDATE: Sadly this oldest church in southern Alberta was totally destroyed by a fire on May 22, 2017.

The Hall of Fame and Museum is dedicated to preserving Canada's baseball heritage which dates back to June 4, 1838, when a game which very closely resembled today's game of baseball was played in Beachville, Ontario.
The Hall gained some major attention when Pete Rose became eligible for election for earning his 4,000th MLB hit while playing with the Montreal Expos in 1984, however Rose has yet to be elected to the Hall.
It's been already a week since my return back and as I have been busy I had no free time to review photos from my recent trip to Greece. So I made a dive into my archives and that photo from Boston's north end caught my attention. A historic alley I would describe it for 2 reasons. First, this alley is part of the famous "Freedom Trail" and second, the wall on the right of the frame is the Old North church, one of Boston's most historic buildings. During the American Revolution, on the steeple of that very church 2 lanterns were carried to warn the American militia that the British chose to advance against Concord by sea.

'Blow off a little steam'
World's first steam powered clock
Built in 1977. Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
A few years ago the clock was refit and is not entirely steam powered. It also has three small electric motors to help operate two internal fans, one of which blows the steam out the top, and another that controls the valves that play the tunes on the five steam whistles mounted atop the clock case.
The large central whistle, which was taken off the CPR steam tug Naramata, counts off the full hours while the four auxiliary whistles chime the Westminster Quarters every quarter hour. The number of chimes matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.

One of the finest historic houses, the Heck Andrews house (1870), in downtown Raleigh, NC. They were in the process of renovation on the outside at the time I took this picture. I'm still waiting for them to give the interior some attention!

Still have not been feeling well, but I am working on a full recovery, which I hope will not be too much longer.
Thank you all for the nice comments and invites! I plan to be back as soon as I am feeling much better.

This 120 foot long historic bridge is a rare surviving example of a truss bridge in Michigan. Built in 1930, the design is distinguished by its massive steel members and Parker pony truss configuration.
Looking close, you can see the new bridge in the background slightly above and beyond the old bridge. These bridges are located on Highway 65 just downstream from the Five Channels Dam west of Oscoda, Michigan.
