The volcanoes of Iceland include a high concentration of active ones due to Iceland's location on the mid-Atlantic Ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary, and its location over a hot spot. The island has 30 active volcanic systems, of which 13 have erupted since the settlement of Iceland in AD 87

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
The Roycroft Campus, the Roycroft way of life and its story began in 1897 with Elbert Hubbard a legendary man of vision who founded the American Arts and Crafts Movement in East Aurora NY. For more than 20 years, the Roycroft Campus was a center of entrepreneurship, creativity and learning. It was a hub of activity with over five hundred working artisans and craftsmen and drew visitors from faraway places.
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.
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 East Side Gallery ( East-Side-Gallery) memorial in Berlin-Friedrichshain is a permanent open-air gallery on the longest surviving section of the Berlin Wall in Mühlenstraße between the Berlin Ostbahnhof and the Oberbaumbrücke along the Spree. It consists of a series of murals painted directly on a 1,316 m (4,318 ft) long remnant of the Berlin Wall, located near the centre of Berlin, on Mühlenstraße in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg.
In the spring of 1990, after the opening of the Berlin Wall, this section was painted by 118 artists from 21 countries. The artists commented on the political changes of 1989/90 in a good hundred paintings on the side of the Wall that was formerly facing East Berlin. Due to urban development measures, it is no longer completely preserved, and instead of the originals from then, only the replicas from 2009 exist today.
The actual border at this point was the Kreuzberg bank of the Spree. The gallery is located on the so-called hinterland wall, which closed off the border area to East Berlin. Mühlenstrasse, one of the main arterial roads to the south, ran along these border installations. Due to the spatial conditions, the previously usual concrete pipes were already installed here, so that the interior wall in this area was atypically optically, but somewhat elevated, resembling the outer wall.
The gallery has official status as a Denkmal, or heritage-protected landmark. According to the Künstlerinitiative East Side Gallery e.V., an association of the artists involved in the project, "The East Side Gallery is understood as a monument to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the peaceful negotiation of borders and conventions between societies and people", and has more than three million visitors per year.

Buckingham Fountain is a Chicago landmark in the center of Grant Park. Dedicated in 1927, it is one of the largest fountains in the world. Built in a rococo wedding cake style and inspired by the Latona Fountain at the Palace of Versailles, it is meant to allegorically represent Lake Michigan. It operates from April to October, with regular water shows and evening color-light shows. During the winter, the fountain is decorated with festival lights.Chicago Il ~ Buckingham Fountain on a Misty Morning.
For ninety years the Ambassador Bridge has been a landmark between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit Michigan. That is about to change. Construction will begin this summer for the new Gordie Howe International Bridge just downriver from this aging landmark. The new cable-stayed bridge is slated to be completed by 2024.

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.

St Michael's Mount is a tidal island in Mount's Bay, Cornwall, United Kingdom. The island is a civil parish and is linked to the town of Marazion by a man-made causeway of granite setts, passable between mid-tide and low water. It is managed by the National Trust, and the castle and chapel have been the home of the St Aubyn family since approximately 1650.
Historically, St Michael's Mount was a Cornish counterpart of Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, France (with which it shares the same tidal island characteristics and the same conical shape, though it is much smaller, at 57 acres, than Mont St Michel which covers 247 acres), when it was given to the Benedictine religious order of Mont Saint-Michel by Edward the Confessor in the 11th century.
St Michael's Mount is one of 43 unbridged tidal islands that one can walk to from mainland Britain. Part of the island was designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1995 for its geology.

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...

#Building(s)
The conical building in the foreground is one of two award winning theatre located in the coastal town of Ilfracombe in Devon, locally it is referred to Madonna's bra!!
Snapshot with the mobile phone. It was raining, and in the photo, the fine drizzle looked like photo noise, so I removed it. However, a hint of water mist still clings to the tower.
The Berlin TV Tower (constructed between 1965 and 1969) is the tallest structure in Germany, standing at 368 m (1,207 ft), but it's not the highest building tough (this is a bank tower in Frankfurt, but compared to world famous sky scrapers, it is still small with its 259 m (850 ft) without antenna).
The tower was built by the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and was intended to be a symbol of the technological advancements of the socialist state.
Another fun fact: during the construction of the Berlin TV Tower, East Germany faced financial difficulties. To continue the project, they received financial support from West Germany. This collaboration was somewhat ironic, given the political divide between the two German states at the time.
Another shot of Silbury Hill. This shot is from a higher altitude and shows the top of the hill. The general public are not permitted to climb the hill, so the last time I saw the top was as a young child in the 1970's.
