La institución Internationales Künstlerhaus Villa Concordia tiene dos edificios en los que hoy se encuentran los becarios. El edificio principal es la propia Villa Concordia barroca, que el secretario de la corte Ignaz Tobias Böttinger encargó entre 1716 y 1722 y que probablemente fue construida por el arquitecto Johann Dientzenhofer.
Además de la administración de la institución, la villa contiene estudios, una extensión de vidrio con departamentos y un salón con capacidad para casi doscientos visitantes y se utiliza para conciertos, inauguraciones de exposiciones y lecturas relacionadas con los becarios.
The Internationales Künstlerhaus Villa Concordia institution has two buildings in which the scholars are today. The main building is the baroque Villa Concordia itself, commissioned by court clerk Ignaz Tobias Böttinger between 1716 and 1722 and which was probably built by the architect Johann Dientzenhofer.
In addition to the administration of the institution, the village contains studios, a glass extension with apartments, and a hall that can accommodate almost two hundred visitors and is used for concerts, exhibition openings, and scholarship-related readings.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) was set up in 1824 to run all lifeboat stations and to build new ones. Since then, the RNLI has been saving lives at sea for almost 200 years. Across the years many things have changed, but the courage and commitment of our lifesavers has continued to the present day, as we work towards our goal of saving every one.
The RNLI has saved 143,900 lives at sea since the charity launched its first lifeboat in 18242. The story of the RNLI is one of courage and dedication. Across our almost 200 year history, RNLI lifesavers have answered the call to rescue. Day or night. On calm seas or into ferocious storms. If someone is in peril at sea, the RNLI will do all we can to save them.
I hope that helps!

Please enjoy a look at Fairview Avenue in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle facing southbound towards downtown. In the center background, the Hyatt Regency Hotel illuminates the entire eastern side of its building with the letters "BLM". It's one of the most grand and conspicuous displays of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in the City of Seattle.
Throughout multiple neighborhoods in Seattle -- from single family homes, apartment residences, and small businesses to high schools, universities, and major corporations -- signage in support of the Black Lives Matter movement has proliferated widely.
In my latest photo essay, "Signage of the Times", in my official blog, I attempt to answer the most frequently posed questions regarding the momentum of BLM: "What is different this time? Why are so many more people onboard compared to before?"
Also, If interested, you can view my previous photo essay featuring images of the protests in Seattle against police brutality and institutional racism in my blog article: "The Pandemic, The Pandemonium & The Protests."

THE SMALL HAMLET OF WINGDALE, within the town of Dover, New York, is home to the ruins of the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center.
Despite its proximity to New York State Route 22, the stunningly beautiful property has been shrouded in mystery for decades. In 1924, The Harlem Valley State Hospital opened its doors to the public. Later to be renamed the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center, the hospital was chartered “for the care and treatment of the insane” and included infrastructure that had previously constituted the Wingdale Prison.
Over the course of 70 years of operation, the facility treated thousands of patients who had been deemed mentally ill. Sprawling across almost 900 acres and encompassing more than 80 buildings, the hospital had its own golf course, bowling alley, baseball field, bakery, and a massive dairy farm that supported an in-house ice cream parlor. At its peak, the facility housed 5,000 patients and 5,000 employees.
Over the years, the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center adopted numerous experimental methods of treatment of the mentally ill. In the 1930s, the facility joined several other institutions on the vanguard of a new insulin shock therapy for the treatment of patients with schizophrenia and other compulsive disorders. Later, when the method of electro-shock therapy was created, the hospital was again a pioneer in implementing the method as a treatment for its patients in 1941. When neuropsychiatrist Walter Freeman developed a new method for treating a wide range of psychological conditions that became known as a lobotomy, the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center was the preeminent institution for frontal lobotomy in the state of New York.
As with most mental health institutions in New York and across the country, the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center saw a gradual decline in enrollment upon the introduction of psychotropic drugs such as thorazine. When the hospital closed its doors in 1994, it had been on a trajectory of decline for a number of years. For the better part of 20 years, the once-busy campus slowly deteriorated. Visited only by night-watchmen and would-be vandals, the buildings sat unused and the grounds slowly grew unkempt. Ghost stories and whispers grew alongside the weeds of the property.
If you're looking for affordable healthcare, look no further than the long abandoned Nevada County Hospital. A visit here won't cost you a dime, but the wait times may be excessive.

Being a seasoned citizen of many political shifts and epochs, I have become increasingly dismayed at how far our media, educational institutions and politicians will go to absurdly distort our view of the world and to divide us from each other.
I try to ask myself what a photo might mean to me, if anything other than, "Hey, it's pretty". I've had this photo for some time and expressing my dismay is its best use for me.
Unfortunately, the old cemetery from the former Dixon State School is not being maintained again. About 10 years back,the lack of care and maintenance was brought to the city and the problem was corrected...temporarily it seems. Now these unfortunate souls are being disrespected again...
Dixon State School was a state run mental institution. It was told mentally and physically challenged people were routinely dropped off there. It had a popular nursing school for many years. It closed in the late '70s,early '80s as private care and more focused rehab facilities became the go to. It is said this sad cemetery contains as many as 1000 unmarked graves....

L'Opéra est avec La Monnaie et le Vlaamse Opera, l’une des trois grandes maisons d’opéra du royaume. Depuis l’origine, l’institution occupe le Théâtre royal à Liège, bâtiment prêté par la ville (inauguré le 4 novembre 1820).
L’édifice subit une importante rénovation de mars 2009 à septembre 2012, tant extérieure qu’intérieure. Les parties historiques ont été restaurées à l'identique (grand foyer, escaliers d'honneur et salle). Sa salle de spectacle (capacité 1 041 places), à l’italienne et sa machinerie de scène en font un des théâtres les plus modernes au monde[d].
Le bâtiment se voit aussi agrandi. À l'instar de la rénovation de l'Opéra de Lyon par Jean Nouvel une quinzaine d'années plus tôt, une structure ultramoderne a été installée en hauteur dans le but d'augmenter la hauteur de la cage de scène, et est dotée d'une salle dite polyvalente (salle Raymond Rossius) pouvant accueillir tant des spectacles de plus petite forme, que des répétitions ou encore des colloques, des conférences, des stages…
La statue située devant le bâtiment représente le compositeur liégeois André Grétry et est l'œuvre du sculpteur Guillaume Geefs. Le cœur du musicien a été déposé dans le socle de la statue en 1842.
The Opera, along with La Monnaie and the Vlaamse Opera, is one of the three major opera houses in the kingdom. Since its inception, the institution has occupied the Théâtre Royal in Liège, a building loaned by the city (inaugurated on November 4, 1820).
The building underwent a major renovation from March 2009 to September 2012, both exterior and interior. The historic sections were restored to their original state (grand foyer, grand staircase, and auditorium). Its Italian-style auditorium (capacity 1,041 seats) and stage machinery make it one of the most modern theaters in the world.
The building was also expanded. Similar to Jean Nouvel's renovation of the Lyon Opera House some fifteen years earlier, a state-of-the-art structure was erected to increase the height of the stage area. It also includes a multi-purpose hall (Salle Raymond Rossius) that can accommodate smaller-scale performances, rehearsals, seminars, conferences, workshops, and other events.
The statue in front of the building depicts the Liège-born composer André Grétry and is the work of sculptor Guillaume Geefs. The musician's heart was placed in the statue's base in 1842.
This Melbourne institution has grown enormously from its humble beginnings in technology. It is fast becoming the university of choice for overseas students seeking a career in architecture and design besides IT.
Schunck est un ancien magasin de mode et grand magasin à Heerlen et Geleen . C'est aussi le nom d'une série de bâtiments qui abritèrent la firme Schunck, dont le plus connu est le Palais de Verre , désigné parmi les mille bâtiments les plus influents du XXe siècle par l' Union des architectes internationaux . Le client du Glass Palace était le propriétaire Peter Schunck .
C'est aujourd'hui un centre culturel avec un musée d'art moderne et contemporain, un institut d'architecture, une école de musique et de danse et une bibliothèque sous l'ancien nom. Le musée abrite la collection d'art de Heerlen.
Dans les années 1930, un édifice particulier a été construit au centre de Heerlen : le Palais de Verre. Le bâtiment était extrêmement moderne et innovant pour l’époque. Le Glass Palace a été construit à l’origine comme une maison de couture. L'architecte Frits Peutz a conçu le bâtiment moderniste pour le compte de l'entrepreneur Peter Schunck. En raison de sa hauteur et de ses grandes surfaces vitrées, le bâtiment fut bientôt communément appelé « le Palais de Verre ».
Le Palais de Verre possède non seulement une architecture impressionnante, mais aussi une histoire riche, parallèle au développement de la ville de Heerlen. De la richesse et du succès au déclin. Du point le plus bas d'une démolition imminente au sauvetage et à la restauration d'une icône spéciale. Du grand magasin à l’immeuble de bureaux. Du supermarché et des magasins aux studios et immeubles anti-squats et finalement à l'institution culturelle SCHUNCK, figure de proue du printemps culturel de la ville.
Schunck is a former fashion store and department store in Heerlen and Geleen. It is also the name of a series of buildings which housed the Schunck firm, the best known of which is the Glass Palace, named among the thousand most influential buildings of the 20th century by the Union of International Architects. The Glass Palace's client was owner Peter Schunck.
Today it is a cultural center with a museum of modern and contemporary art, an architectural institute, a music and dance school and a library under the old name. The museum houses Heerlen's art collection.
In the 1930s, a special building was built in the center of Heerlen: the Glass Palace. The building was extremely modern and innovative for its time. The Glass Palace was originally built as a fashion house. Architect Frits Puisz designed the modernist building on behalf of entrepreneur Peter Schunck. Due to its height and large glass surfaces, the building was soon commonly called "the Glass Palace".
The Glass Palace not only has impressive architecture, but also a rich history, parallel to the development of the city of Heerlen. From wealth and success to decline. From the lowest point of imminent demolition to the rescue and restoration of a special icon. From department store to office building. From the supermarket and shops to the studios and anti-squat buildings and finally to the cultural institution SCHUNCK, the figurehead of the city's cultural spring.

That little dot in the distance is my son Alexandre, racing far ahead of me as usual. It's a wonder I get any shooting done!
From an abandoned mental institution in Norway. One year after my first visit, I went back with new camera (Canon 5D mII) together with Martin and Geir.
Great day. Went through all three buildings. Sad to see them even more vandalised than last time. I tried to shoot other things than corridors and rooms, but I guess I will upload a couple of those as well.
Info about the place: Parts of Lier Psychiatric Hospital was closed in 1986 and are still abandoned. It is located outside Oslo in Norway.
Here the doctors tested new medicins and ways to help the patients. Lobotomy, electroshock and drugs like LSD was used.
It's a spooky place with a very interesting history.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is the largest charity that saves lives at sea around the coasts of the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, as well as on some inland waterways. There are numerous other lifeboat services operating in the same area.
Founded in 1824 as the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, the RNLI was granted a Royal Charter in 1860. It is a charity in the UK and in the Republic of Ireland. Queen Elizabeth II is Patron. The RNLI is principally funded by legacies and donations, and most of the members of its lifeboat crews are unpaid volunteers.
The RNLI, whose main base is in Poole, Dorset, has 238 lifeboat stations and operates 444 lifeboats. Crews rescued on average 22 people a day in 2015. RNLI Lifeguards operate on more than 200 beaches. They are paid by local authorities, while the RNLI provides equipment and training. The Institution also operates Flood Rescue Teams (FRT) nationally and internationally (iFRT), the latter prepared to travel to emergencies overseas at short notice.
Considerable effort is put into training and education by the Institution, particularly for young people; more than 6,000 children a week are spoken to by education volunteers about sea and beach safety, and over 800 children a week receive training. The Institution has saved some 140,000 lives since its foundation, at a cost of more than 600 lives lost in service.
I saw a charity shop referred to as a boutique, meaning small in size. This small outlet in Broadstairs on that basis is truly a boutique

„Trinkhallen“, „Buden“ oder „Kiosk“ sind eine Institution und ein fester, konstanter Bestandteil des alltäglichen Lebens für viele Menschen im Ruhrgebiet oder auch "Pott". Süßigkeiten für die Kinder, Knabbereien, Snacks, Brötchen oder Zigaretten und Alkohol machen den wesentlichen Teil des Angebots aus. Manche „Bude“ ist schon ein „Mini-Kaufladen“. Auch heute sind sie noch oftmals Treffpunkt für die Nachbarschaft.
“Trinkhallen”, “Buden" or "Kiosk" are an institution and an integral, constant part of everyday life for many people in the Ruhrgebiet or "Pott". Sweets for the children, snacks or cigarettes and alcohol make up the essential part of the offer. Some "Bude" is already a "mini-shop". Even today, they are still often a meeting place for the neighborhood.

Established in 1929, the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation was created by Henry Ford as The Edison Institute, a private educational institution, before opening to the public in 1933, initially being owned and operated by the Ford Motor Company. The museum contains exhibits and artifacts that were collected by Henry Ford starting in 1906, when his wealth began to increase substantially due to the success of the Ford Motor Company, with the institutions continuing to collect artifacts and items to this day. The museum is housed in a large structure, designed by Robert O. Derrick, that is quite similar in structure to a warehouse or factory built during the time of construction. Covering approximately 500,000 square feet (50,000 square meters), the building contains a variety of exhibits, mostly focusing on machinery, furnishings, automobiles, and other industrial goods, as well as historic artifacts that represent culturally significant moments in the history of the United States. The museum today is a major tourist attraction within the Detroit Region, and is one of three significant attractions affiliated with the Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, alongside Greenfield Village and the Ford Rouge Complex, all of which are open to tourists and visitors. The museum was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1981.
The Adler Planetarium, the first institution of its type in the Western Hemisphere, opened to the public in May 1930. With its neighbors, the Field Museum and the Shedd Aquarium, it forms a significant cultural complex that enriches its visitors' knowledge of the sky, the earth, and water. A connection that is further enhanced by the spectacular lakefront setting of the complex on Lake Michigan which evokes each of these components. The Adler Planetarium and Astronomical Museum was given to the people of Chicago in 1930 by Max Adler, a retired senior officer of Sears, Roebuck & Company who had been deeply involved in philanthropic activities for many years. In addition to funding the building and the planetarium project, Adler purchased and donated to the city an extensive collection of antique scientific instruments for display in the planetarium. At the time of the planetarium's dedication in 1930, Adler explained his reasons for building it. He hoped to further the progress of science and to enable people to "observe the action of the heavenly bodies as heretofore only astronomers could do." He also felt that if people realized the enormity of the universe and the smallness of their part in it, they would be humbled and come to see the interdependence of all mankind, and thus the futility of force as a means of solving problems. The use of the planetarium would "emphasize that all mankind, rich and poor, powerful and weak, as well as all nations here and abroad constitute part of one universe."
On February 27, 1987, the Adler Planetarium was added to the National Register of Historic Places and to the list of National Historic Landmarks. More information about the planetarium can be found on the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration or their website on the links below:
