The island of Mouro is a Spanish island located in front of the Magdalena peninsula, at the mouth of the bay of Santander, in Cantabria. It stands out very much in the landscape, although its territory is only of 1,7 hectares. / La isla de Mouro es una isla española situada frente a la penÃnsula de la Magdalena, en la boca de la bahÃa de Santander, en Cantabria.

Presumably there was the hope of good relations between England and Holland at this time; only 3 years later we were at war again when the Dutch defeated the English fleet at Livorno (see the previous photo).
As a prince Charles was forced to live in exile for a long time because in England, his homeland, his father had been beheaded and the monarchy abolished. However, the monarchy was restored in 1660: the parliament in London summoned him to return as King Charles II. On this triumphal journey from Breda to London he stopped off in Rotterdam. We see him on the state yacht in the middle being honoured by many burghers and cannon salutes.

St Mary's in the Vale of Belvoir is sometimes known as the "Lady of the Vale". It has the 2nd highest spire in Leicestershire. The oldest part of the church dates from the 12th century. The chancel was rebuilt in the 17th century to accommodate the monuments of the Manners family, earls (later dukes) of Rutland, which completely fill it.
At the western end of the Decumanuus Maximus. It is 12 meters high, and was partially restored in the 1800’s.
It is also know as the Timgad Arch.

The Hanseatisches Oberlandesgericht (Hanseatic Higher Regional Court, abbreviated HansOLG or OLG Hamburg) is the Higher Regional Court (OLG) of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany, and thus part of the Hamburg ordinary jurisdiction. It is located at the square of Sievekingplatz in the Sankt Pauli quarter. The square is named after the first president of the OLG, Ernst Friedrich Sieveking.
Originally the court was opened on October 1, 1879 as a joint "Oberappellationsgericht" for the Free Imperial Cities Bremen, Hamburg and Lübeck. Its predecessor was the Oberappellationsgericht der vier Freien Städte, the joint Supreme Appeal Court of the four free cities of Germany, Lübeck, Frankfurt, Bremen and Hamburg, which was founded in 1820 and based in Lübeck.
Information from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanseatisches_Oberlandesgericht
Hamburg (Hamborg in Low Saxon or the Hamburger dialect of German), officially the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, is the second-largest city in Germany. It is also the 8th-largest city in the European Union, with a population of over 1.9 million. The Hamburg Metropolitan Region has a population of over 5.1 million and is the ninth-largest metropolitan region by GDP in the EU.
At the southern tip of the Jutland Peninsula, Hamburg is situated on the distributaries of the River Elbe at the head of a 68 mile (110 kilometer) estuary to the North Sea, on the mouth of the Alster and Bille. Hamburg is one of Germany's three city-states alongside Berlin and Bremen, and is surrounded by Schleswig-Holstein to the north and Lower Saxony to the south. The Port of Hamburg is Germany's largest and Europe's third-largest, after Rotterdam and Antwerp. The local dialect is a variant of Low Saxon.
The official name reflects Hamburg's history as a member of the medieval Hanseatic League and a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. Before the 1871 unification of Germany, it was a fully sovereign city state, and before 1919 formed a civic republic headed constitutionally by a class of hereditary Grand Burghers or Hanseaten. Beset by disasters such as the Great Fire of Hamburg, North Sea flood of 1962, and military conflicts including World War II bombing raids, the city has managed to recover and emerge wealthier after each catastrophe.

Chapel from Notre-Dame-du-Bourg at Langon
Made in Aquitaine, France, after 1126
Parts of this chapel-like gallery were constructed with twelfth-century limestone blocks from the church of Notre-Dame-du-Bourg at Langon, located about nineteen miles east of Bordeaux. According to one seventeenth-century document, the small parish church—which had a single apse nave, slightly projecting transepts, and a semi-circular apse—was founded in 1126 as a dependency of the nearby abbey of Notre-Dame-de-la-Grande-Sauve. Seven capitals from the crossing and choir of Langon are installed in this gallery, all of them decorated with human heads or figures carved almost in the round. The crowned female bust on one of the capitals has often been identified as Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122?–1204), one of the most remarkable women of the Middle Ages. However, other than a trip she took to the region with her husband, King Henry II of England (r. 1154–89), in the 1150s—when they might have spent one night at the nearby Notre-Dame-de-la-Grande-Sauve—there is no documentary evidence that Eleanor ever visited Langon or that the bust was intended to portray her. The blind arches lining the walls (below, left) and the predominantly geometric patterns decorating the abaci, arches, and cornices (below, right) are all characteristic of the late-twelfth century architecture in western France.
Like many religious monuments in France, Notre-Dame-du-Bourg suffered repeated damage, especially from the Hundred Years' War and the French Revolution. By the early nineteenth century the choir had been divided into two levels: the lower served as a stable, while the upper became a dance hall, then a theater. When the Museum purchased the chapel fragments in 1934, the upper level was being used to store tobacco (above). The reconstructed chapel is about three-quarters of its original size.

Destruction of the Vienna State Opera on March 12, 1945
Archive of the Month October 2014
Destruction of the State Opera
The bombing raids on Vienna, which broke out on March 17, 1944, aimed primarily at strategically important traffic and industrial facilities. The major attack of March 12, 1945, however, hit primarily the city center and devastated there in addition to the aimed targets Heinrichshof (Nazi departments) and Hotel Metropol (Gestapo headquarters) also many cultural monuments: Hofburg, St. Stephen's Cathedral, Burgtheater, Museum of Art History, Albertina, Spanish Riding School... Meanwhile, at the Albertina Square, the Philipphof collapsed and buried more than 200 people under its rubble!
State Opera 1945
The neighboring State Opera had escaped a similar fate by a hair's breadth: here struck five explosive and numerous incendiary bombs, destroyed the stage and set the auditorium and the side staircases in flames. Any extinguishing failed. After hydrants and pipes were hit during the attack, there was soon no extinguishing water more. So the fire raged in the opera for two days and two nights. Consequently, the stage house and the auditorium burned down completely, the roofs collapsed. Only the front remained intact - the rest was a ruin. The reconstruction started immediately after the end of the war, despite hunger and hardship, and took up 10 entire years: it was not until 5 November 1955 that Austria finally celebrated the resurrection of "its" State Opera.
Vienna State Opera in 1945
After the reconstruction of the Opera House, the Austrian Federal Theater Administration subsequently compiled a documentary collection, which is now kept in the Archive of the Republic. The majority of them contain 23 boxes of photographs that illuminate the milestones in the construction process from various perspectives. The images are complemented by 5 boxes of files and correspondence from the "Committee for the Reconstruction of the State Opera and the Burgtheater", which cooperates closely with the Federal Theater Administration.
Destruction of Vienna State Opera
The photos presented here reflect the state of construction of the opera in the winter of 1945/46, when the rubble in the interior was almost cleared away and the building fabric was reasonably secured. The two images of the burning opera were recorded on the evening of March 12, 1945 by an unknown firefighter of the Volunteer Fire Department.
Zerstörung der Wiener Staatsoper am 12. März 1945
Archivale des Monats Oktober 2014
Zerstörung der Staatsoper
Die am 17. März 1944 losbrechenden Bombenangriffe auf Wien zielten vor allem auf strategisch wichtige Verkehrs- und Industrieanlagen. Der Großangriff vom 12. März 1945 traf jedoch primär die Innenstadt und verwüstete dort neben den anvisierten Zielen Heinrichshof (NS-Dienststellen) und Hotel Metropol (Gestapo-Hauptquartier) auch viele Kulturdenkmäler: Hofburg, Stephansdom, Burgtheater, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Albertina, Spanische Hofreitschule … Am Albertina-Platz stürzte indessen der Philipphof ein und begrub unter seinen Trümmern über 200 Menschen!
Staatsober 1945
Die benachbarte Staatsoper war einem ähnlichen Los nur um Haaresbreite entronnen: Hier schlugen fünf Spreng- und zahlreiche Brandbomben ein, zerstörten das Bühnenhaus und setzten den Zuschauerraum sowie die seitlichen Stiegenhäuser in Flammen. Jede Löschung misslang. Nachdem während des Angriffs auch Hydranten und Leitungen getroffen wurden, gab es bald kein Löschwasser mehr. So wütete das Feuer in der Oper zwei Tage und zwei Nächte lang. Das Bühnenhaus und der Zuschauerraum brannten folglich zur Gänze aus, die Dächer stürzten zusammen. Intakt blieb allein die Vorderfront - der Rest war eine Ruine. Der sofort nach Kriegsende trotz Hunger und Not begonnene Wiederaufbau nahm volle 10 Jahre in Anspruch: Erst am 5. November 1955 konnte Österreich endlich die Wiederauferstehung „seiner“ Staatsoper feiern.
Wr. Staatsoper 1945
Über den Wiederaufbau des Opernhauses stellte die Österreichische Bundestheaterverwaltung nachträglich eine dokumentarische Sammlung zusammen, die heute im Archiv der Republik aufbewahrt wird. Ihr Großteil umfasst 23 Kartons Fotographien, die von unterschiedlichen Perspektiven her die Meilensteine am Aufbauweg beleuchten. Ergänzt werden die Bilder durch 5 Kartons Akten und Korrespondenzen des mit der Bundestheaterverwaltung eng kooperierenden „Komitees für den Wiederaufbau der Staatsoper und des Burgtheaters“.
Zerstörung der Wr. Staatsoper
Die hier präsentierten Fotos spiegeln den Bauzustand der Oper im Winter 1945/46 wider, als schon der Schutt im Inneren so gut wie abgeräumt und die Bausubstanz einigermaßen gesichert waren. Die zwei Bilder der brennenden Oper wurden am Abend des 12. März 1945 von einem unbekannten Feuerwehrmann der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr aufgenommen.

The charm of this car is that it's NOT perfect. It actually looks like it was DRIVEN -- to the beach, along the coast, to work, to school, maybe even to the grocery store. No Botox rotisserie restoration on this old girl. It's 62 years old, and although it's well dressed, it looks it.
The bumper sticker, "I DROVE this car to the TRAILER show", says it all.

The folder is not dated but the two route diagrams - maps - shown are dated to 1966. They show that various branch lines have already been pruned under the Beeching "Axe" and, of course, there have been many subsequent changes to routes and service patterns particularly in the London Suburban area such as Tramlink and Thameslink.
This is the diagramattic version of the Southern's extensive suburban network that covered much of South London and the adjacent Home Counties. Largely electrically operated this was one of the world's largest and busiest suburban and commuting networks serving the main city termini of Victoria, Waterloo, Charing Cross, Holborn Viaduct, Cannon Street and London Bridge. There have been some substantial changes over the years such as Thameslink, Tramlink between Wimbledon and Croydon and some other losses.
