Casa Loma (Spanish for Hill House) is a Gothic Revival style house and gardens in midtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that is now a museum and landmark. It was originally a residence for financier Sir Henry Mill Pellatt. Casa Loma was constructed over a three-year period from 1911–1914. The architect of the mansion was E. J. Lennox, who was responsible for the designs of several other city landmarks. 221

A South Okanagan landmark. This barn on the Haynes Ranch was built in 1916 to replace the original one that burned down in 1914. The ranch was on about 21,000 acres of land between Osoyoos and Oliver, British Columbia.
it is assumed that Gorinchem was founded circa 1000 CE by fishermen and farmers on the raised land near the mouth of the river Linge at the Merwede. (Home of Gorik) is first mentioned in a document from 1224 in which Floris IV granted people from Gorinchem exemption of toll payments throughout Holland.
Somewhere between 1247 and 1267, Gorinchem became property of the Lords of Arkel. At the end of the 13th century earthen mounts reinforced with palisades were built around the settlement to protect it from domination by the neighboring counties of Holland and Gelre. Half a century later real city walls were built complete with 7 gates and 23 watchtowers. Otto van Arkel granted it city rights on 11 November 1322.
Jan van Arkel had a dispute with Albert I, brother of Willem V of Holland, leading to war and subsequently to the annexation of Gorinchem to Holland in 1417. This resulted in increased trade and Gorinchem grew to be the eighth city of Holland.
On 9 July 1572, the Watergeuzen (Dutch rebels against Spanish rule) conquered the city and captured 19 Catholic priests and monks. Because they refused to renounce their faith, these priests and monks were brought to Brielle where they were hanged and were from then on known among Catholics as the Martyrs of Gorkum.
By the 16th century, the city walls were so deteriorated that they were replaced with new fortifications and eleven bastions that still are almost completely intact. The new walls were completed in 1609 and were located further from the town centre, making the city twice as large. In 1673, Gorinchem became part of the old Dutch Water Line.
The city walls had four city gates: the Arkel Gate in the north, the Dalem Gate in the east, the Water Gate in the south (where the ferry to Woudrichem was), and the Kansel Gate in the west. Of these four gates, only the Dalem Gate remains. The others were removed in the 19th century to make way for vehicular traffic. A portion of the Water Gate was preserved in the gardens of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
The Saarpolygon is a memorial to the coal mining in the Saar region, which finally ended in June 2012. The large accessible sculpture stands on the Duhamel slagheap in Ensdorf, which rises about 150 metres above the surrounding Saartal valley.
The walkable monument is about 30 metres high. The 35-metre-long transverse section is accessed from both sides by 132 steps at a height of 25 metres. The viewing platform weighs around 60 tons. The Saarpolygon is designed in such a way that it has a different shape from each direction: rectangular archway, triangle standing on the top or base, cross with horizontal line. In the ground plan it has the shape of a Z.
147 designs were submitted in the competition of ideas for the artistic implementation - the winner was the Berlin architect duo Katja Pfeiffer and Oliver Sachse.
Their design of a large walk-in sculpture, which "as a symbol of change in an abstract language of form traces a variety of mining motifs", is intended to form a gateway into the future in the eyes of the beholder. The formal language of the puristic steel grid construction is intended to express the inseparability of origin and future in the country and to show the classic connection of coal, steel and energy in Saarland.

Das Saarpolygon ist ein Denkmal zur Erinnerung an den im Juni 2012 endgültig beendeten Steinkohlebergbau im Saarrevier. Die begehbare Großplastik steht auf der Bergehalde Duhamel in Ensdorf, die sich rund 150 Meter über das umliegende Saartal erhebt. Das begehbare Denkmal ist rund 30 Meter hoch. Zu dem rund 35 Meter überspannenden Querstück führen von beiden Seiten genau 132 Stufen in 25 Meter Höhe. Die Aussichts-plattform wiegt rund 60 Tonnen. Das Saarpolygon ist so gestaltet, dass es aus jeder Richtung eine andere Form hat: rechteckiger Torbogen, auf der Spitze oder der Basis stehendes Dreieck, Kreuz mit Querstrich. Im Grundriss hat es die Form eines Z.
Im Ideenwettstreit zur künstlerischen Umsetzung wurden 147 Entwürfe eingereicht- Sieger war das Berliner Architektenduo Katja Pfeiffer und Oliver Sachse. Ihr Entwurf einer begehbaren Großskulptur, die „als Symbol des Wandels in abstrakter Formensprache vielgestaltige Bergbaumotive nachzeichnet“, soll in den Augen des Betrachters ein Tor in die Zukunft bilden. Die Formensprache der puristischen Stahlgitterkonstruktion soll die Untrennbarkeit von Herkunft und Zukunft im Lande zum Ausdruck bringen und die klassische Verbundenheit von Kohle, Stahl und Energie im Saarland zeigen.
This blue hour photograph was taken two weeks ago near Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay looking towards some landmarks including (from left) ArtScience Museum, Marina Bay Sands, Marina Bay Financial Centre and part of Central Business District.
It was windy that evening in Marina Bay. The colourful reflections provided complementary interests to the cityscape at blue hour.
Best wishes for a relaxing Sunday!
A view across from the end of Tower Bridge to the Shard, City Hall, HMS Belfast and on the right the Walkie Talkie building, on the way home from work to London Bridge Station. The sunsets continue this year, although maybe I am looking for them more or just have better timing. Love the walkers in this and the reflections, London at its best.
The real landmark of Macau is the Ruins of St. Paul,
the remains of the Church of the Mother of God - part of the College of Saint Paul founded in 1594 and lasting until 1762. Missionaries to spread Christianity in China and Japan were also trained here.
It was considered the first Western-style university here in the "Far East". St. Paul's Church, built in 1580, was destroyed twice (1595 and 1601). From 1602 to 1640 it was rebuilt by Chinese and Japanese craftsmen.
From 1762 the building was abandoned after the Jesuits withdrew.
From 1800 the church was used by the military.
It fell completely victim to a fire in 1835.
Only the facade, foundations and the front entrance steps are left.
Together with the historic center they were included in the UNESCO World Heritage in 2005.
Die Mühle von Sönderho auf der dänischen Insel Fanö
The mill of Sönderho on the danish island Fanö
Sønderho Mølle - Mühle Sønderho
Im Jahre 1928 erwarb der Verein Fonden Gamle Sønderho die 1895 gebaute Galerieholländermühle.
Die zum Abriss vorgesehene Mühle wurde seitdem nach und nach restauriert und hat innerhalb die letzten Jahren neue Mühlenflügel und einen neuen Drehkranz erhalten.
Die geniale, einfache Konstruktion basiert auf jahrhundertelanger Erfahrung und zeugt von imposanter Gleichgewichtskunst. Die acht hohen Ecksäulen des Oberbaus stehen unbefestigt auf dem Steinunterbau der Mühle, und die Haube mit Flügeln, Flügelwelle, Kammrad und Krühwerk ruht nur auf 8 kleinen Stahlrollen, die auf einem Stahlring oben auf dem Oberbau aufliegen. Das Eigengewicht der Mühle hält die ganze Konstruktion stabil - bei Sturm und Flaute!
This landmark tree sits in the middle of a farm road intersection. Scouted it out last week and hope to get a sunset or Milky Way type image.

Once one of Scotland’s largest castles, Urquhart saw great conflict during its 500 years as a medieval fortress. Control of the castle passed back and forth between the Scots and English during the Wars of Independence. The power struggles continued, as the Lords of the Isles regularly raided both castle and glen up until the 1500s.
The last of the government troops garrisoned here during the Jacobite Risings blew up the castle when they left. Urquhart’s iconic ruins remain, offering glimpses into medieval times and the lives of its noble residents.
This night photograph of Waibaidu Bridge was taken in December during my recent visit to Shanghai.
Waibaidu Bridge, also known as Garden Bridge of Shanghai, crossed the Suzhou River that merged with Huangpu River. This bridge was built in 1907 and was the first steel truss bridge in China.
The long exposure photograph was taken from a spot on the pedestrian walkway on one side of the Bridge. The illuminated bridge, with traffic light trails, contrasted well with some of Shanghai’s landmarks in Pudong, including Oriental Pearl Tower and Shanghai Tower.
I have visited the Lake District now a couple of times and my love for this stunning part of the country is very strong.
I have witness rain showers sunshine and this wonderful part of the countryside always impresses me in what scenery I have seen.
I need to go back!!!
The most widely recognized landmark in Arches National Park in Utah, USA. A 'must-do hike' from the parking lot, it is the most photographed arch in the world. The original photo was one of my first submissions to Flickr (also in this Photostream). This version was taken with a Nikon F, 50mm -f1.4 Nikkor lens using Kodachrome ASA 25, about one hour before sunset. This version was processes using several modules of Topaz plug-ins. '89 DELICATE ARCH, UTAH USA

Der älteste Kirchenbau Erfurts wurde im 8. Jahrhundert grundgelegt. Anfangs diente der Dom als Bischofssitz und war während des Mittelalters bis in das frühe 19. Jahrhundert Sitz des Collegiatstifts St. Marien. 1507 erhielt Martin Luther im Dom die Priesterweihe. Der ursprünglich romanische Kirchenbau erfuhr in der Zeit der Gotik entscheidende Umbauten.
Berühmt ist der Dom wegen der Gloriosa, der mit einem Durchmesser von 2,56 Metern größten freischwingenden mittelalterlichen Glocke der Welt.
Die fünfschiffige frühgotische Hallenkirche St. Severi war im 13. Jahrhundert Stiftskirche der regulierten Augustinerchorherren. Zum kostbaren mittelalterlichen Schmuck des Innenraumes gehören zahlreiche Plastiken, der Severi-Sarkophag (von dem nach ihm benannten "Meister des Severisarkophages"), Altäre, der gotische Taufstein und das Alabasterrelief des Erzengels "Michael".
Das Ensemble von Dom und Severikirche bildet eine imposante Kulisse für die jährlich im Sommer stattfindenden Dom-Stufen-Festspiele.
Ich habe dieses Panorama aus 13 Aufnahmen vom Petersberg aus erstellt, ganz besonders faszinierte mich das abendliche Licht, es verlieh der gesamten Altstadt einen warmen Farbschimmer...
