The Church of Saint Mary is an Anglican parish church serving the town of Whitby in North Yorkshire England. It was founded around 1110, although its interior dates chiefly from the late 18th century. The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 23 February 1954. Wikipedia
While exploring Washington State back roads, I came across this abandoned silver mine known as the Old Ruby (Pyrargyrite) Mine. Along with the mill there are several other buildings on the property, maintenance shop, blacksmith shop and forge, office, bunkhouse and powder magazine. The mill is empty now, and so is the powder magazine.

De Princes Street Gardens, une partie de la "skyline" de la vieille ville d'Edimbourg. Deux éléments gothiques emblématiques : la façade de l'Université et la flèche de la cathédrale Sainte Marie.

This was my Grandfather's 1967 Nikon camera given to me by my Grandmother a few years ago. I don't take photos with it (it's heavy as heck) but I like looking at it because it reminds me of him.
Along the road in my previous photo I passed this old wooden house. I imagine it to be a "Walserhaus", a house originally built by the people who immigrated into the Kleinwalsertal from Wallis in Switzerland.
The German word "Walserhaus" is used by locals for houses that were mainly constructed in wood, and this seems to be the case here. Its frame will be wood and even the outside is covered in wooden scales, something you rarely see these days. It's a large and impressive house, situated along the street called "Am Höhenweg" in Baad, and it is very close to the church. Another, very similar house nearby is the old chaplain's house, which was built in 1714. It also has these wooden scales, so I think the house in my photo may date from the same period.
