Das Gebäude wurde 1897/98 für die Firma F. Laeisz nach Plänen von Bernhard Hanssen, Wilhelm Emil Meerwein und Martin Haller im Stil der Hannoverschen Architekturschule erbaut. Der umbaute Raum betrug ca. 34.000 Kubikmeter. Die Baukosten beliefen sich auf 960.000 Reichsmark, das sind 28 Reichsmark pro Kubikmeter umbauter Raum.
Außer der Reederei Laeisz hatten von Beginn an bedeutende Seeversicherer dort ihre Geschäftsräume. Auch heute ist das Haus noch Firmensitz der Reederei F. Laeisz.
The building was built in 1897/98 for the F. Laeisz company according to plans by Bernhard Hanssen, Wilhelm Emil Meerwein and Martin Haller in the style of the Hanover School of Architecture. The enclosed space was approximately 34,000 cubic meters. The construction costs amounted to 960,000 Reichsmarks, that is 28 Reichsmarks per cubic meter of enclosed space.
In addition to the shipping company Laeisz, major marine insurers had their business premises there from the start. Even today the house is still the headquarters of the shipping company F. Laeisz.
The main idea of such gardens is to collect and display beautiful natural landscapes in a confined space.
New York City Scholar's Garden is one of two authentic classic Chinese outdoor gardens built in the United States.
On the Snug Harbor Botanical Garden premises, a classic Chinese outdoor garden appeared, made in the style of the gardens of the Ming dynasty, which ruled in China in the XIV-XVII centuries.
This garden's architectural components were made and imported from Suzhou, China, including roof tiles, columns, beams, doors and windows, bridges, and floor and walkway paving materials.
In the early days Veere was a flourishing commercial city. This prosperity can be found in the beautiful historical premises. The town of Veere arose in the twelfth century. The following centuries the town was being used to store Scottish wool. Veere still has these typical Scottish homes, which were built in the sixteenth century by rich Scottish merchants. At the Kaai in Veere, two of these Scottish houses still stand, and they remind people of the wool trade back in those days. Antique collections of the last private owners are among the things which can be admired here. Also fans of porcelain, furniture, style rooms and stitch costumes have much to look at. In the Scottish houses you can regularly go to see different expositions of the artists from Veere.

Big church Veere
The big church is from 1348 and it is a really great sight. As from 1811 the church was being used by Napoleon’s soldiers as a military hospital; the church was a beggars house and a barrack for a while as well. You can still clearly see the traces of an eventful past.

Normally, I don't let Rooster out until I know Mama moose has left the premises but she came back so it was a surprise that her and Rooster met up. Now, If any of you wonder what would happen if you encounter any wildlife on the trail how your dog would react....well, they bring them back to you. That's right, Mama moose came galloping right past me down my driveway. She doesn't perceive me as a threat so I was safe. Imagine if that was a bear? Something I learned from this picture is when a moose is perturbed their ears go comically sideways. She has never showed me that facial expression.
Of course, Rooster thinks it is all a game, just another horse on the property.
As a side note, sadly Rooster got ran over by a truck just outside my ranch gate by a passerby going about 80, he was rushed to the Dog ER on Sunday. He suffered a pulmonary contusion so he is on bed rest and as you can imagine not happy about it now that he is on the mend. All a very traumatic ordeal, I will forever be haunted by his cry as he got run over. Hope he has learned his lesson about cars as I never had a dog that didn't respect motorized vehicles. Had I known, I wouldn't have rescued him, there is only one ending, but apparently Rooster has a guardian angel. BTW- ER Vets think you shit out money, just saying. $1600 a night. This dog is going to give me a heart attack yet. Where is my beloved Sadie Dawg when I need her? Heavy sigh....
Dietes grandiflora is a rhizomatous perennial plant of the family Iridaceae with long, rigid, sword-like green leaves. This species is common in horticulture in its native South Africa, where it is often used in public gardens, beautification of commercial premises and along roadsides. Wikipedia
A very pretty demansia vestigiata that was photographed on the Fraser Coast.
This lesser black whip snake was picked up as result of a call out from the local hospital who wanted it removed from their premises. Once captured it was observed to have an injured tail. The flesh was blackened and foul to the bone indicating necrosis. After a quick vet trip for an operation it went on to spend a couple of weeks in care. That care involved oral pain medication and antibiotics given daily. No part of this exercise did the snake appreciate…
The snake was successfully released back into the wild sans part of its tail #venomous #elapid

The James Ryan Ltd Retail and Wholesale Distributors buildings are part of the Ryan Premises National Historic Site located in the Town of Bonavista on the Bonavista Peninsula in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
James Ryan Ltd. was established in the Bayley's Cove section of Bonavista in 1857 where it operated a pub as well as a retail store. The main operation was relocated to its present location on Bonavista harbour in 1869 and liquor was only sold in bulk and the fishery became the main focus. The company bought and sold salt cod, supplied salt and other materials for the cod fishery, and sold general merchandise. By 1895 James Ryan Ltd exported 100,000 quintals (approximately 5,000,000 kg) of salt cod, approximately 10% of the total for Newfoundland.James Ryan Ltd. exited the fishing industry in 1952 and continued on as a general store until closing in 1978. In 1987, the Ryan Premises at Bonavista were designated as a National Historic Site. Parks Canada took over the property and it was officially opened to the public by Queen Elizabeth II on June 24, 1997 to mark the 500th anniversary of John Cabot's landfall at Bonavista.

The two beams can reportedly be seen by a 60-mile radius on a clear night, from Brooklyn to the Bronx, Queens to Staten Island, and Wall Street to Jersey City.
Formed from 88 powerful bulbs positioned into two squares that echo the fallen Twin Towers, the light memorial reaches four miles skyward. It shines from a roof near the trade center, traditionally from sunset to dawn, and has become a moving, quietly powerful element of the anniversaries since the attacks.
Last September 11, my husband and I spent several hours at the Brooklyn Bridge Park waiting for the beams to appear.
As we were leaving the premises I turned around to see the lights one more time. I looked up and saw the beams projecting their light straight up into the sky.
Thank you for your comments.

A poignant reminder of the transience of powerful men compared to the earth and sky, as true today as it was
Dunmoe castle, Co Meath, Ireland.
The castle was built for the D'Arcy family in the mid-15th century and marked the western edge of The Pale. According to the Civil Survey (1654–6) Thomas Darcy owned the entire parish and on the premises there was ‘a Castle, a Church, a Mill, an Orchard and a fishing weare’.
During the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland in 1649 the Castle was fired upon from the south bank by passing troops on their way from Drogheda to Athboy, but avoided any real damage.
According to legend, the occupant, George d'Arcy, entertained King James on the night before the Battle of the Boyne (1690) and King William the day after, inspiring the couplet: "Who will be king, I do not know, But I'll be d'Arcy of Dunmoe."
The two-storey building attached to the east may be an 18th-century addition. A drawing of 1795 shows the castle intact. It was burned down during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Now only the two southern towers and some walls remain.[4][5]

Another photo taken in the premises of Yamada Ryokan.
The building in the right is called Nagaya (長屋) that is an Edo period construction. The building in the centre is Yudono (湯殿) that houses a hotspring bath, and the three -story building is called Shinkan (新館, new wing) for guest rooms although it is old enough. The two were constructed in 1914 during the Taishou era (大正時代 1907-1926). These three architectures are listed as Registered Tangible Cultural Heritage.
They are traditional structures supported by wooden pillars and beams, which allow installing plenty of glass windows.
In my opinion, this is architecturally the best part of the Japanese inn.
The building behind Shinkan is Bekkan (別館, annex) that is a reinforced concrete structure built in late 20th century. It may be comfortable to stay but is less attractive for photo shooting.
Mandrakes in Ormskirk - the much loved coffee shop which sells Harry Potter inspired food and merchandise opened in 2019 in its St Helens Road premises in Ormskirk.

... is a complex of royal buildings on Herreninsel, the largest island in the Chiemsee lake, in southern Bavaria, Germany. Together with the neighbouring isle of Frauenchiemsee and the uninhabited Krautinsel, it forms the municipality of Chiemsee, located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) southeast of Munich.
The island, formerly the site of an Augustinian monastery, was purchased by King Ludwig II of Bavaria in 1873.
The king had the premises converted into a residence, known as the Old Palace (Altes Schloss). From 1878 onwards, he had the New Herrenchiemsee Palace (Neues Schloss) erected, based on the model of Versailles.
It was the largest, but also the last of his building projects, and remained incomplete.
Today maintained by the Bavarian Administration of State-Owned Palaces, Gardens and Lakes, Herrenchiemsee is accessible to the public and a major tourist attraction.

The hospital was commissioned by the Southport Strangers Charity who established it using voluntary donations in Lord Street in 1806. It became the Southport Dispensary in 1823.
After the existing premises became too small, it moved to a new purpose-built building designed by Thomas Withnell in the Gothic Revival style in Seabank Road in 1853. Its name changed again when it was extended and became the Southport Convalescent Hospital and Sea-Bathing Hospital in 1862. It was extended again to a design by Paull and Bonella in 1881.
It served as a military hospital during both world wars. It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and developed as a treatment centre for patients with acute medical conditions, spinal injuries and orthopedic injuries. After the spinal injuries unit transferred to the Southport General Infirmary in 1988, the hospital finally closed in 1990.
The hospital, which is a Grade II listed building, was subsequently converted into luxury apartments and is now known as Marine Gate Mansions.
Great Blue Heron x Great Egret Hybrid at Fort De Soto Park, St. Petersburg, Florida, USA.
I was photographing this bird hunting for fish in the water and a park ranger came along in his cart and inadvertently flushed the hybrid. It hovered in the air for a moment not really wanting to vacate the premises. It soon landed and resumed fishing.
The Great Blue Heron x Great Egret hybrid was first found and photographed in July 2016 by a few individuals and photos of the bird were sent to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. They agreed that this was a cross between a 5 pound Great Blue Heron and a 2 pound Great Egret.

Ottan thullal ( a type of performing art from Kerala, south India ), has a single performer, reciting the thullal lyrics (dance songs), all the while acting and dancing himself. This art form ( usually presented within temple premises ) with its satirical touch, lends the artiste the freedom to improvise, more so on humour. Its incidental satire makes this art form more popular among the common man.

The church has been delivered to the museum from Kysorychi village in Rokytnivskyi district of Rivnenska Region. It was built by local masters at the end of 18th Century. According to M. Teodorovych, its tops were changes in 1871, and it became one-domed instead of three-domed. Reports of Emperor’s archeological expedition witness that at the beginning of 20th Century (in 1909) the church had to be dismounted due to its emergency state. Although, it was not broken down due to high artistic value of its iconostasis. The iconostasis did not survive until nowadays, except for only four fragments of a unique hewn altar.
As of the moment of purchase there of by the museum in 1978, there were no domes at all. In this connection, they have been re-made according to Polissia typology. The reconstruction was headed by the author of Polissia display, Vergovskyi S.V., inasmuch contours of old ones remained unknown.
This is a religious building; its dimensions are 15.9 x 7.3 m; total area: 116.07 square meters.
This is a building of three rooms, built of pine-tree timbers. The walls are fixed with halving cutouts, made in upper parts of the timbers. The square aisle of the church is its smallest room (4.9 x 4.9), the nave is also square and the biggest one (7.3 x 7.3); the altar room is also almost square (5.3 x 5). The central part is the widest one; its walls extend beyond the side timbers. The church is not covered with planks. The all three floors thereof are tent-shaped. The whole construction is supported by oak piles vidzemky, imbedded around the perimeter.
The premises of the church house a permanent exposition “Religion antiques of Ukraine”. It displays the pieces of arts: icons, triple candleholders, sculptures, church’ bowls of 18th – 20th Century.
Церква Воскресіння Ісуса Христа - Воскресенська церква з села Кисоричі, Рокитнівського району Рівненської області, 1789 рік.
До музею церква перевезена з Рівненської області, Рокитнівського району, село Кисоричі. Вона споруджена місцевими майстрами. Датується кінцем ХVІІІ ст.
Належить до архаїчного типу, поширеного на Поліссі — тризрубна, завершена трьома шатровими розділами з невеликими маківками.
За М. Теодоровичем її верхи були змінені у 1871 р. і церква з триверхої стала одноверхою. З повідомлень імператорської археологічної комісії випливає, що вже на початку ХХ ст. (у 1909 р.) церкву цю хотіли розібрати у зв’язку з аварійним станом. Однак, через високу мистецьку цінність її іконостасу церкву залишили цілою. На сьогодення іконостас не зберігся, а до наших днів дійшли лише чотири фрагменти унікального рубленого престолу.
На момент купівлі музеєм у 1978 р. верхи в ній були відсутні. У зв’язку з цим вони були заново виконані за поліською типологією під керівництвом автора експозиції «Полісся» Верговського С.В., оскільки абриси старих лишилися невідомими.
Культова споруда. Габаритні розміри: 15.9 х 7.3 м. Загальна площа: 116.07 м2.
Будівля у плані трикамерна, зведена з соснового кругляка. При спорудженні зрубу застосована врубка «в чашку», драчка вибрана у верхніх частинах колод. Квадратний у плані бабинець церкви найменший за розмірами (4,9 х 4,9 м.), нава також у плані квадратна – найбільша за розмірами (7,3 х 7,3 м.), вівтар у плані чотирикутний (5,3 х 5 м.).
Центральна частина по ширині найбільша і виступає стінами за бічні зруби. Церква не шальована. Три її верхи шатрового типу. Уся споруда тримається на дубових стоянах-відземках, закопаних по периметру у землю.
У приміщенні церкви експонується постійно діюча виставка «Церковні старожитності України» в якій експонуються твори мистецтва: ікони, троєсвічники, скульптури, церковні карнавки ХУІІІ-ХХ ст.

A bakery is an establishment that produces and sells flour-based food baked in an oven such as bread, cookies, cakes, pastries, and pies. Some retail bakeries are also categorized as cafés, serving coffee and tea to customers who wish to consume the baked goods on the premises. Confectionery items are also made in most bakeries throughout the world.
Baked goods have been around for thousands of years. The art of baking was developed early during the Roman Empire. It was a highly famous art as Roman citizens loved baked goods and demanded them frequently for important occasions such as feasts and weddings. Because of the fame of the art of baking, around 300 BC, baking was introduced as an occupation and respectable profession for Romans. Bakers began to prepare bread at home in an oven, using mills to grind grain into flour for their breads. The demand for baked goods persisted, and the first bakers' guild was established in 168 BC in Rome. The desire for baked goods promoted baking throughout Europe and expanded into eastern parts of Asia. Bakers started baking bread and other goods at home and selling them on the streets.
This trend became common, and soon, baked products were sold in streets of Rome, Germany, London, and more. A system of delivering baked goods to households arose as the demand increased significantly. This prompted bakers to establish places where people could purchase baked goods. The first open-air market for baked goods was established in Paris, and since then bakeries have become a common place to purchase delicious goods and to socialize. By the colonial era, bakeries were commonly viewed in this way.

The Philosophical Hall at the Strahov Monastery, Prague, Czechia (the Czech Republic's official short name as of 2016)
(unless you made and paid for a reservation months beforehand, you are not allowed inside and can only admire the room from the doorway; photos can be taken only if you pay extra for a photo permit; best viewed enlarged for details)
Abbot Vaclav Mayer, during the last quarter of the 18th century, decided to build new library premises for the numerous acquisitions so he ordered the Philosophical Hall to be built by the naturalized Italian architect Johann Ignaz Palliardi. The hall is 32 meters long, 10 meters wide and 14 meters high, flanked on all sides by rich walnut wood bookcases. The highest shelves are only accessible from the gallery which is accessed by secret spiral staircases in both corners, masked by false book covers.
The ceiling was painted by Viennese artist Anton Maulbertsch over a period of 6 months, aided by only one assistant. The painting called The Spiritual Development of Mankind depicts the development of religion and science, guided by Divine Providence in the center of the painting, surrounded by virtues.
In the 19th century, Napoleon Bonaparte's wife Marie Louise visited the library and donated a four-volume work on Louvre museum paintings and Versailles gardens. The gift was stored in the tall bookcase that dominates the left side of the hall. On the top of the bookcase, there is a marble bust of Francis I, Emperor of Austria and Marie Louise's father.
The total number of volumes in the hall exceeds 50,000 works. In 2010, the Philosophical Hall was completely restored.
Lynmouth

Lynmouth is a village in Devon, England, on the northern edge of Exmoor. The village straddles the confluence of the West Lyn and East Lyn rivers, in a gorge 700 feet (210 m) below Lynton, which was the only place to expand to once Lynmouth became as built-up as possible. Both villages are connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway which works two cable-connected cars on gravity, using water tanks. The two villages are a civil parish governed by Lynton and Lynmouth Town Council. The parish boundaries extend southwards from the coast and includes hamlets such as Barbrook and small moorland settlements such as East Ilkerton, West Ilkerton and Shallowford. The South West Coast Path and Tarka Trail pass through, and the Two Moors Way runs from Ivybridge in South Devon to Lynmouth; the Samaritans Way South West runs from Bristol to Lynton and the Coleridge Way from Nether Stowey to Lynmouth. Lynmouth was described by Thomas Gainsborough, who honeymooned there with his bride Margaret Burr, as "the most delightful place for a landscape painter this country can boast".
A lifeboat station was established in Lynmouth on 20 January 1869, five months after the nearby wreck of the sailing vessel Home. The lifeboat was kept in a shed on the beach until a purpose-built boat house was built at the harbour. This was rebuilt in 1898 and enlarged in 1906–07. It was closed at the end of 1944 as other stations in the area could provide cover with their newer motor lifeboats. The boat house was then used as a club but was washed away in the flood of 15 August 1952. It has since been rebuilt and includes a public shelter.
On 15 and 16 August 1952, a storm of tropical intensity broke over South West England, depositing 229 millimetres (9.0 in) of rain within 24 hours on an already waterlogged Exmoor. It is thought that a cold front scooped up a thunderstorm, and the orographic effect worsened the storm. Debris-laden floodwaters cascaded down the northern escarpment of the moor, converging upon the village of Lynmouth; in particular, in the upper West Lyn valley, a dam was formed by fallen trees etc., which in due course gave way, sending a huge wave of water and debris down that river. The River Lyn through the town had been culverted to gain land for business premises; this culvert soon choked with flood debris, and the river flowed through the town. Much of the debris was boulders and trees. Overnight, over 100 buildings were destroyed or seriously damaged along with 28 of the 31 bridges, and 38 cars were washed out to sea. In total, 34 people died, with a further 420 made homeless. Similar events had been recorded at Lynmouth in 1607 and 1796. After the 1952 disaster, the village was rebuilt, including diverting the river around the village.
The town of Lynton and Lynmouth is twinned with Bénouville in France.

Well, if this place is haunted, then it's most likely haunted by the spirit, or rather demon of stupidity and lust for destruction. The roof of this small chapel which is located on the premises of an abandoned sanatorium had not been damaged too much by time and neglection, but was destroyed one night several years ago by vandals who set the chapel on fire.
Actually taken back in March on the very first proper spring day during a fantastic photowalk with Flickr friends, but I think the atmosphere here is really autumnal, kind of November-ish, even a little creepy, and also rather sad, I think.
Processed in Aurora HDR and ON1. In Photoshop I blended the Aurora and ON1 (HDR look) layers with soft light, then, as a finishing touch, added a subtle glow in ON1 to give a kind of airy, ethereal look, that of an old painting, without making it look too unreal.
Have a spectre-cular Sunday just before Halloween, dear Flickr friends!

Oder auch verflucht, wenn schon nicht von Geistern, so doch vom (Un-)Geist der Blödheit und Zerstörungswut. Das Dach dieser kleinen Kapelle auf dem Gelände einer verfallenen Lungenheilanstalt war ursprünglich vom Zahn der Zeit relativ verschont geblieben und in gar nicht mal so schlechtem Zustand - bis zu jener Nacht vor einigen Jahren, als Vandalen sich Zutritt zum Gelände verschafften und die Kapelle in Brand setzten.
Eine Aufnahme vom ersten richtigen Frühlingstag dieses Jahres, die Atmosphäre ist aber sehr herbstlich, finde ich, und das Foto hätte auch an einem Novembertag gemacht worden sein können. Ein weiteres Foto vom tollen Fotowalk mit Flickr-Freunden Anfang März 2018.
Entwickelt in Aurora HDR und ON1 Photo RAW (HDR look); in Photoshop habe ich die Aurora- und die ON1-Ebene mit weichem Licht überlagert, anschließend noch in ON1 einen leichten Schein darübergelegt, um die verwunschene, leicht unwirkliche Stimmung zu betonen, ohne es allzu unnatürlich wirken zu lassen.
Ich wünsche Euch einen Geist-reichen Sonntag, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
Not quite golden, but yellow painted thick chains strung across bollards at the end of a carpark at the rear of a business premises.
I think if it were me, and I saw this evil looking Grackle about to descend on me I would have vacated the premises ASAP! But not this stubborn and brave little Mourning Dove! It held it's ground on top of the seeds and it was the Grackle who gave up and flew away. The Dove went on to send another dove away and a Titmouse and a Chickadee. Doves really are interesting birds. I've seen them make almost every other bird back down and yet, this is how they do it... pure stubborn will. Nothing violent or aggressive. The most they will do is raise a wing and sort of duck back behind it, much like a person saying "talk to the hand". LOL A nice rainy day here just south of the metropolis of Etlan Virginia. Have a great day everyone! In the first comment box below I am including a photo of the dove and the Red Bellied Woodpecker that I shared before and in this shot the dove did not give up either!
(5/5) Premises by premises, public space by public space, inch by inch we hand over our belongings, our ownership to be treated back to safety and security. We trusted to be treated the way we should. We are trading our lives now. When our quarantines are broken, permissions issued, it is the system that is ready to 'treat' us, us and our diseases, us and our corpses, us and our insurances. Pegs return to stations, ready to turn and let turn.
Interestingly, an equality comes with this disease. We all have to line up to get inside the supermarket to get toilet paper or bleach. We all have to buy the unpopular pasta brand now. We all have to report to the young admission desk clerk to walk into the clinic. It is all military and we must be grateful. We certainly don't want to die like those people who are not as fortunate as we are.
What we treasure more, some consciously and some not, is the untouchable world inside, the ocean of consciousness, the land of the truly free. We hide in it, take refuge in it, treasure it.
With the question of how are you doing these days, we take our defenses up. What? Now you need to know what goes inside? "I'm all right. It's a small price to pay."
The fact is it is a huge price to pay. Here in America being was limited by confusion due to an abundance of options and now we are limited by our inabilities or even worse by lack of permissions. We lost permissions and those who do not want it, have to learn how to live without.
Old confusions due to a plethora of options are gone. Old choices are gone, old options, old confusions. We are limited by lacks, lack of permissions.
Now confusion belongs to those who push the limits without permissions or beyond permissions. Confusion belongs to those trying to separate themselves from collective security that government aparatus promises with no guarantee.
Sierra Valley is a large mountain valley located in the Northern Sierra Nevada Range. This is beef country with cattle ranching being the cornerstone of the local economy. Sierraville is the largest town in the valley sporting a hefty population of 200.
There's a nice a little eating establishment in Sierraville that serves a variety of meats that are smoked on the premises. I warned Marg about asking for a veggie burger. The locals tend to be a little edgy about their livelihood.
Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.
