Located in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, this river has a particular beauty, its waters are not transparent, it has a brownish color, and I think that's why it is even more beautiful. This photo was taken from an iPhone X on a trip I took in 2018. For tourists (like me), it's very worthwhile to take the boat trip to navigate this river, and visit the islands and fishing village that are in the path. I found this house in the woods of a small island within this river interesting.

Localizado em Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, este rio, tem uma beleza particular, suas águas não são transparentes, tem uma cor amarronzada, e acho que por isso fica mais bonito ainda. Esta foto foi feita a partir de um iPhone X em uma viagem que fiz em 2018. Para turistas (como eu), vale muito a pena fazer o passeio de barco para navegar sobre este rio, e conhecer ilhas e vila de pescadores que tem no trajeto. Achei interessante esta casa dentro da mata de uma pequena ilha dentro deste rio.

Located nearby Las Vegas, lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the United States, measured by water capacity.
Located at the foot of the Quantock Hills, the Church of St Etheldreda – also known as the Church of St Audries – is a Church of England parish church in West Quantoxhead, Somerset. Designed by John Norton, it was built in 1854-56 and is a Grade II listed building.
St Etheldreda’s was built on the site of an earlier church, which had a chancel dating to the 13th and 14th centuries, and a nave and tower of the 15th century.
By the middle of the 19th century, the church had become dilapidated and was considered too small to adequately serve the local congregation. After a period of deliberation, Sir Alexander Fuller-Acland-Hood favoured building a new church rather than restoring the existing one, and plans were drawn up by John Norton of London.
Scurdie Ness is a headland located on the South side of the River South Esk estuary, Montrose, Angus, Scotland. The River leads from the North Sea into Montrose Harbour and then into Montrose Basin. The headland has also been referred to as Scurdie Ness, Montrose point or Montroseness. The word Scurdie is a local word for the volcanic rock found there and Ness means a promontory, cape or headland. The coastline from Scurdie Ness to Rickle Craig has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Scurdie Ness Lighthouse is located on the headland and has also been referred to as Montroseness Lighthouse. In 1867 the seafaring community of Ferryden made representations to the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses to have a light established on Montrose Point due to the numerous shipwrecks and great loss of life along that coast. There are 11 wrecks recorded around the mouth of the estuary.
The lighthouse was built by David Stevenson and Thomas Stevenson and at 6 pm on Tuesday 1 March 1870 the tower was lit for the first time. During World War II the lighthouse was temporarily painted black so that it could not be used by the German bombers as a daytime reference point. The light was not illuminated except when requested by the Royal Navy.
The lighthouse is a category B listed building of architectural/historic interest, Historical Scotland Building ID: 4958. Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland - Canmore ID: 36262
Originally the light characteristic was fixed white but in 1907 was changed to isophase white 60 seconds (i.e., light 30 seconds, eclipse 30 seconds). Scurdie Ness lighthouse was converted to automatic operation in 1987 and now displays 3 white flashes separated by 2.5 seconds and repeated every 20 seconds. The light is 182,000 candlepower and on a clear night can be seen for approximately 42 km.
The buildings within the grounds of the lighthouse are now privately owned. Cars are not allowed along the road leading from Ferryden to the lighthouse but it is a popular walk and sightings of seals and dolphins are not unusual. Whales are sometimes seen in the area including rare sightings of humpback whales.

Ronda is a city located on two hills separated by a river gorge Guadalevin.
Both parts of the city by a bridge Puento El Nuevo. The construction of this high 120 meters of the bridge linking the two banks of a narrow canyon, took 42 years and cost the lives of over 50 people. The bridge, above the central arch, there is a room once used as a prison. During the Spanish Civil War, both sides have carried out executions throwing prisoners from the bridge into the abyss.

Saigon is located just to the north of Mekong Delta. But the Saigon river, by which Saigon is located, is not a branch nor a tributary of the Mekong river.
This photo was taken on the riverside not far from the People's Committee Building. Modern high-rise buildings were mushrooming on the both sides of the river.
The bridge over the Saigon river is Cầu Ba Son or the Ba Son bridge. It was just completed in 2022.
Vietnam embarked on Đổi Mới, an economic reform programme, in 1986 with the goal of "socialist-oriented market economy." It consisted of privatisation, promotion of foreign direct investment, normalisation of diplomatic relations etc., which resulted in a rapid economic growth that still continues today.
Vietnam is expected to be a next factory of the world replacing the current role of China. It is noted, however, that Vietnam is still a one-party dictatorship, and the government still maintains a grip on the state-owned corporations like China does. It is not certain if the current government regime would survive in the future as the economic development is conducive to democratic reforms.
Located between the Provinces of Florence and Siena, the Chianti Valley has always been considered the heart of old Tuscany, well-renowned around the world for its famous wines.

St Athernase Church is a Romanesque church located in Leuchars, Fife, Scotland. It is a Category A listed building and remains in use as a Church of Scotland parish church.
The chancel and half-round apse date from the 12th century with the exterior featuring blind arcades with typical Norman arches. The church was granted by Ness son of William, Lord of Leuchars, to the canons of St Andrews in 1185. Around 1700 a belfry was added, and in 1858 restoration was carried out to the nave.
The church is open to the public in summer, at other times by arrangement. Relics preserved inside include part of a 9th-century cross-slab found near the village (closely comparable to the large collection at St Andrews Cathedral), and three elaborate 16th century memorial stones of the Bruce's of Earlshall, the local lairds. One of the latter shows a full length figure of a woman, naïve in execution, but valuable in documenting contemporary dress.
The oft-mentioned dedication of the medieval church of Leuchars to St Athernase is actually an error. It arises from a nineteenth-century misreading of a list of church dedications in the Register of St Andrews Priory, a medieval manuscript now in the National Archives of Scotland. Folio 155v. has a list of churches dedicated, or re-dedicated, by bishop David de Bernham of St Andrews in the 1240s. The eighth church in this list is 'ecclesia sancti Johannis euangeliste et sancti Athernisci confessoris de Losceresch (the church of St John the evangelist and St Athernase the confessor). However the church of Losceresch is not the church of Leuchars, which in medieval sources is spelt Lochris, Locres etc., but the parish church of Lathrisk (now Kettle parish in Fife), whose early spellings are Losresc (1170s), Loseresch, Losseresc (1227) and such like. Athernase is the patron saint not of Leuchars but of Lathrisk.
The patron of Leuchars is not known for certain, but some medieval sources indicate a local cult of St Bonoc, a name unknown outside the parish of Leuchars, and a chapel of St Bonoc, complete with chaplain, is known to have existed.
"Athernase" may be an anglicised form of the name Itharnán, found also in Fife at Kilrenny, and on the Isle of May, an Irish missionary who "died among the Picts" in 669 according to the Annals of Ulster.

The first brewery in Texas. Located in La Grange, Texas
Here's more info:
No one should ever underestimate the impact that German immigrants have had on Texas. German settlers were in Texas from the beginning of the Colonial period, but at the end of the Mexican War large numbers of Germans and others immigrated to Texas because of the mild climate and cheap land.
Map Link
One such German immigrant was Heinrich Kreische. He arrived in Fayette County in 1849 and purchased 172 acres on a bluff overlooking the Colorado River above La Grange. This land included the land where the Dawson/Meir tomb is located. He honored those who gave their life for Texas by maintaining the tomb his whole life.
Photo Link
Mr. Kreische was a master stone mason and over a period time built a three story stone home on the bluff. He was also involved in the construction of many stone structures in Fayette County. I've noticed in my travels that German stone masons have been involved in almost every major stone building in Texas in the 19th century, from the Capitol Building in Austin to the Fort in Fort Davis, Texas.
Heinrich Kreische
In 1860 Mr. Kreische began building one of the first breweries in Texas. He cleverly built it in a ravine below his house that was feed water from a spring that he used in the production of beer. By the middle of the Civil War the brewery was producing beer in a nine step brewing process with an ingenious gravity feed water system. When a new batch of beer was ready a large banner was raised that said "Frisch Auf" (Freshen Up). This was an invitation to the community to come to the bluff and enjoy a picnic, dancing, games and a stein or two or three of "Kreische's Bluff Beer"!
In 1882 Heinrich Kreische, German immigrant, master stone mason, and brew master, was killed in a wagon accident.

Located in the center of the State of Illinois, Sangamon County's economy is based upon healthcare, professional services, state government, tourism and agriculture. The county seat and largest city is Springfield, the state capitol and my adopted hometown for the past four decades.
Of the 102 counties in the State of Illinois, Sangamon County ranks 9th in market value of agricultural products sold. Ninety-two percent of this value comes from crops, and 8 percent comes from livestock, poultry and products. The population of Sangamon County at the 2020 census was 195,963.
Located in the altitude fields of the "Serra da Bocaina", the "Casa de Pedra", as it is currently known, was built by Dr. Lassance, a resident doctor from Rio de Janeiro, in the beginning of the 20th century and its apogee in 1914.
Once ready and decorated with the richest imported refinements, the house was not much to the liking of his wife who was not interested in the patrimony.
The abandonment and vandalism were destroying the beautiful building that is now in ruins, and today is only a reminder of the golden days of "Bocaina".

Located in the city of Carira, Sergipe, Brazil, I found this house that caught my attention due to the art that was placed in detail. From its size of narrow proportions, but with its details inlaid on the wall, door with various accessories, from water pipe connections, to pieces of hose forming hearts, shells, stones of different colors and shapes, drawn with stars, birds , padlocks that make us travel only in these details. In addition to not being well finished on the outside, that is, not plastered, we have inlaid on the wall, bicycle parts, in the windows, bottle caps, hoses and ropes, and we also have three images on top of this house, the first being the first , I think that representing the slave (here in Brazil it was brought from Africa for hard work), the second image, a saint, here in Brazil it is the patron saint, Nossa Senhora Aparecida, and the third image of Jesus Christ crucified.
I couldn't speak to the owner of this property, I would like to know more details, to know the story of this creation. I hear there's even more in there, and of course I was very curious.
Every moment you look at this image, you see something new, there were many pieces and ornaments placed.
The image appears to be crooked, but no, this house is on a slope, thus forming this form of image.
If I manage to speak with the owner, and manage to enter, I will post new internal images and the history of this different property.
Localizada na cidade de Carira, Sergipe, Brasil, encontrei esta casa que me chamou a atenção devido a arte que foi detalhadamente colocada. Deste o seu tamanho de proporções estreitas, mas com seus detalhes incrustados na parede, porta com diversos adereços, desde conexões de encanamento d'água, a pedaços de mangueira formando corações, conchas, pedras de diferentes cores e formatos, desenhada com estrelas, pássaros, cadeados que nos fazem viajar só nestes detalhes. Além de não estar bem acabada por fora, ou seja, não estar rebocada, temos incrustadas na parede, peças de bicicleta, nas janelas, tampas de garrafa, magueiras e cordas, e temos ainda em cima desta casa, três imagens, sendo a primeira, acho que representando o escravo (aqui no Brazil foi trazido da Africa para trabalhos duros), a segunda imagem, uma santa, aqui no Brasil é a padroeira, Nossa Senhora Aparecida, e a terceira imagem de Jesus Cristo crucificado.
Não consegui falar com o proprietário deste imóvel, gostaria de saber mais detalhes, saber a hitória desta criação. Soube que tem mais ainda lá dentro, e claro, fiquei muito curioso.
A cada momento que você olha para esta imagem, vê algo novo, foram muitas peças e ornamentos colocados.
A imagem parece estar torta, mas não, esta casa fica numa ladeira, assim formando esta forma de imagem.
Caso eu consiga falar com o proprietário, e consiga entrar, colocarei novas imagens internas e a história deste diferente imóvel.

The Pinilla Reservoir is located on the upper Lozoya River, in the north of the Community of Madrid (Spain). Located in the Sierra de Guadarrama, it is the headwater basin of the basin from the moment it was opened in 1967. It is part of the Canal de Isabel II network, a company that supplies drinking water to the capital of Spain and much of it of the Community of Madrid.
After the 1964 drought that forced the imposition of water restrictions on Madrid, the government decided to take the issue of water supply to the capital as a matter of state. Returning to a previous project, a dam was designed next to the town of Pinilla del Valle that retained the waters of the Lozoya River in the upper part of the valley, where rainfall is more abundant and regular.
The execution of this head dam, which by the conditions of the terrain and relative closed valley advised the type of gravity dam, did not present any difficulty and put its regulated flow immediately available to the driving channels, when entering the knot from Torrelaguna, where you could drive on any of the three channels (Alto, Bajo and El Atazar), ensuring an increase in regulated flow of the order of 1 m³ / s.
This dam could also be an important part of a hydroelectric use, deriving its flow, instead of the Lozoya River, by a lateral channel to the Canencia stream, where a waterfall could be established to take advantage of the level gained by the channel in relation to the river, and pour it for its later entry into the reservoir of Riosequillo. (Source Wikipedia)
El embalse de Pinilla está situado en el curso alto del río Lozoya, en el norte de la Comunidad de Madrid (España). Enclavado en plena Sierra de Guadarrama, es el embalse de cabecera de la cuenca desde el momento en que fue inaugurado en 1967. Forma parte de la red del Canal de Isabel II, compañía que suministra el agua potable a la capital de España y a buena parte de la Comunidad de Madrid.
Tras la sequía de 1964 que obligó a imponer restricciones de agua a Madrid, el Gobierno decidió tomar el asunto del suministro de agua a la capital como una cuestión de estado. Retomando un proyecto anterior, se diseñó una presa junto al pueblo de Pinilla del Valle que retuviese las aguas del río Lozoya en la parte alta del valle, donde las precipitaciones son más abundantes y regulares.
La ejecución de esta presa de cabecera, que por las condiciones del terreno y relativa cerrada del valle aconsejaba el tipo de presa de gravedad, no presentaba ninguna dificultad y ponía su caudal regulado a disposición inmediata de los canales de conducción, al ingresar en el nudo de Torrelaguna, donde se podía conducir por cualquiera de los tres canales (Alto, Bajo y de El Atazar), asegurando un incremento de caudal regulado del orden de 1 m³/s.
Esta presa podía ser además, una pieza importante de un aprovechamiento hidroeléctrico, derivando su caudal, en lugar de por el río Lozoya, por un canal lateral hasta el arroyo de Canencia, donde podía establecerse un salto de agua para aprovechar el nivel ganado por el canal en relación al río, y verter a éste para su posterior ingreso en el embalse de Riosequillo.( Fuente Wikipedia)

Located on the southeast corner of Walnut St. and University Ave. in downtown Champaign is the former Inman Hotel. Designed by Spencer and Temple and constructed in 1915, this Classical Revival/Early 20th Century Commercial style hotel with its glazed yellow brick facade was Initially constructed with only five stories. A sixth floor was added only a few years later.
The Inman attracted guests from all over the country and provided services for downtown merchants and shoppers with a drugstore, billiard room, banquet hall, and café all located on the ground floor. At the time the University of Illinois did not have a Union Building, so the hotel quickly became a gathering place for university visitors and sports fans. Illinois football was quite popular during this time period, as this was the era of Harold “Red” Grange. The three-time, All-American halfback played under coach Bob Zuppke from 1923 to 1925 and led the University of Illinois to a national championship in 1923.
The Inman Hotel lies within the boundaries of the Champaign Downtown Commercial District, but was separately listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The building has been repurposed as a senior independent living facility.
Located in Champaign County in east central Illinois, the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana are the home of the University of Illinois. The population of the City of Champaign at the 2020 census was 88,302, while Champaign County had a population of 205,865.
