This series of 12 shots comes from an old paper mill where I had the opportunity to participate in photographically documenting the site. The site was home to E.B. Eddy from the end of the 19th century to late in the 20th century. It was taken over by Domtar at that time who actively operated it until 10 or 12 years ago. It has now been acquired by a developer who will tear some of the old buildings down and replace them with condos and a more people oriented modern living site. The site crosses the Ottawa River on the provincial border between Ontario and Quebec. Ottawa is on the Ontario side and Gatineau is on the Quebec side.

 

The 12 photos in this series are among my favourites taken at this site.

I continue to replace images that I posted before with a new version that I like better. Morning Glory is one of my favorite flowers in the garden. I start them from seed and enjoy seeing than blossom. Each stage of the flower is fascinating to photograph.

replacing an earlier photo of Dandelion :-) got them in droves all over the garden. Close look reveals a very complicated flower, and a very beautiful one.

As we move into spring, the delightful beech copper displays are starting to disappear slowly. Soon to be replaced by new buds and heralding a change of colour in the woods. Taken on a misty morning at the start of March in The Hangings, Whiteleaf, Buckinghamshire.

Interior from Garmo stave church at Maihaugen in Lillehammer, Norway. The baptismal font is made from soapstone and dates to the 12th century.

 

This stave church originally dates to the middle of the 12th century - later expanded in the 18th century. In the 19th century the church was replaced with a newly built on in Garmo and this one was dismantled and sold at auction(!) in 1880. It was bought by Trond Eklestuen, who spent much time buying traditional Norwegian objects (and buildings) and giving them away to museums for preservation. The church ended up at Maihaugen (the largest open-air museum in northern Europe, founded in 1904), a place dedicated to the preservation of Norwegian history and architecture. The church was rebuilt there in 1921.

The first attempt to replace the wooden fort with a stone kremlin was recorded in 1374, but construction was limited to a single tower, known as the Dmitrovskaya Tower (this has not survived). Under the rule of Ivan III, Nizhny Novgorod played the role of a guard city, having a permanent garrison; it served as a place for gathering troops for Moscow’s actions against the Khanate of Kazan. In order to strengthen the defenses of the city, construction works on the walls began again.

 

Construction of the stone Kremlin of Nizhny Novgorod began in 1500 with the building of the Ivanovskaya Tower; the main work commenced in 1508 and by 1515 a grandiose building was completed. The oak walls that formed the old fortifications were destroyed by a huge fire in 1513. The two kilometer wall was reinforced by 13 towers (one of them – Zachatskaya – was on the shore of the Volga; not preserved, but was rebuilt in 2012). This “Stone City” had a permanent garrison with solid artillery weapons. With the fall of Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin lost its military significance, and later it housed the city and provincial authorities.

During the World War II, the roofs of the Taynitskaya, the Severnaya, and the Chasovaya Towers were dismantled and anti-aircraft machine guns were installed on the upper platforms. Thus, the fortress defended the airspace of the city from the Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe bombed the Kanavinsky Bridge and the Fair, but the Kremlin's air defense defended these objects.

The Council of Ministers of the RSFSR issued an order on January 30, 1949 for the restoration of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin.

In October 2018, archaeologists discovered the remains of a medieval settlement and cemetery on the site of the destroyed church of St. Simeon Stylites. The finds belong to the 13th century, and the most ancient cultural layer - to 1221, when Nizhny Novgorod was founded. After all the excavations, the exhibits will be museified, and the church of St. Simeon the Stylite will be recreated at this place.

In 2021, before the 800th anniversary of Nizhny Novgorod, a major restoration was carried out. Under its terms, the most important thing was the restoration of the historic "battle road" inside the Kremlin wall. The city had been waiting for this event for 230 years. Since August 2021, locals and tourists can walk a full circular route along the large fortress wall while inside it. Its length is 2 km.

I replaced new Nagai's silicon plug cord for the first time in more than a dozen years. The cause of the malfunction was the deterioration of the plug cord.

U61 comes to a stop at CP Luke to cut the J81 pusher off, before heading west to Beech Creek on the Pokey Main. Like several of the Buchanan Branch CP's, Luke is on the agenda to be replaced with safetrans soon. *Update, CP Luke has been cut in with safetrans.

The Saint Sophia church (Church of God's Wisdom) in Ohrid has a fascinating history! It replaced two earlier predecessors and dates to the end of X century when Tsar Samuil moved the capital of the Bulgarian Empire to Ohrid at the time of its greatest power and extent, and designated this church to serve as the main cathedral of his realm and the seat of its own Patriarch. Its frescos date to XI century; although they are obviously damaged, they are one of the outstanding examples of the Byzantine art from that time, along with those in the eponymous cathedral in Kyiv. The church has survived almost intact because the Ottoman Turks who had conquered the Balkans in XIV-XV centuries converted it into a mosque during their rule rather than had it destroyed.

 

История Софийской церкви в Охриде очень интересна! Она была построена в конце Х века на месте двух предшественниц царём Самуилом, сделавшим Охрид столицей Болгарского царстваа в эпоху его наибольшего могущества, как главный храм своей державы. Фрески XI века, несмотря на очевидные повреждения, являются одним из выдающихся памятников византийского искусства той эпохи наряду с фресками тёзки этой церкви в Киеве. Софийская церковь сохранилась до наших дней практически без изменений потому что турки-османы, захватившие Балканы в XIV-XV веках, не разрушили её а обратили её в мечеть на время их владычества.

Over time, something newer and flashier takes your place. Outrageous, in my opinion! Treasure these broken gems, they just need a little love to shine again.

Mainly, I replaced the sky using Luminar 4 in this re-edit. Its amazing AI did this in one click with no painstaking masking needed. Original edit below in Comment section. Whatever your opinion on sky replacement, I like playing around with software to see what it can do.

Here's an unusual take on this iconic building :-) hehe!

 

The Cathedral of Florence, officially known as Cattedrale Santa Maria del Fiore but better known as the Duomo, was originally planned in 1296 as a Gothic cathedral by Arnolfo di Cambio. It replaced the church of Santa Reparata, a cathedral church with a history going back to the early Middle Ages. Construction of the church would last until 1436 when it was consecrated by pope Eugene IV.

Had a go at replacing the sky again on this one, being as the rocks gave me a really easy outline. But to keep it as close to reality as possible, the stars are blurred exactly as they were in the original - the only reason this wasn't possibly in the original was a) the North Star is a bit higher than that, it'd be about at the top of the image in this, and b) it was like 3am and we were ready to head home!

 

The upside is that because the stars were taken outside the house, that I could leave the camera until the batteries died, which impressively was about 10 1/2 hours. Although I did do a quick swap half way in, still not bad in freezing weather though.

 

This is another for a friend's music art, so I don't feel bad about the compositing, because even though it's almost real, that's not what I was going for. The idea is it looks good on Spotify on your phone:)

Betnava Castle

Schloss Betnava

 

ENG:

The modern Betnava mansion replaced a medieval court, which was first mentioned in medieval written sources in 1313 as the court of Rudolf, a Maribor citizen and former provincial clerk in Breg near Maribor. The second reliable mention of Betnava can be found in a document from 1363: it is mentioned as Paldrumss hoff – Paltram's manor, i.e. the manor of Rudolf's son Paltram (I). In a document from 1378, Rudolf's grandson Paltram (II) is referred to as von Wintnaw – from Betnava – and this is the first explicit mention of Betnava. Probably at the beginning of the 16th century, but certainly before 1526, the Auerspergs became the owners. In 1555, Volf Engelbert Auersperg sold the estate to his brother-in-law Luka Szekely, and in 1587, the Herbersteins became the owners. In 1677, Janez Jakob Count Khisl bought the castle, but it burned down in 1685. The building was supposedly only restored by the Counts of Brandis, who inherited Betnava along with other associated estates in 1727. Betnava remained in the possession of the Brandis family until 1863, when it became the summer residence of the bishops of Lavant. In 1941, the German occupiers took the manor away from the diocese, and after the war it became state property.

 

GER:

Das moderne Herrenhaus Betnava ersetzte einen mittelalterlichen Hof, der erstmals 1313 in mittelalterlichen Schriftquellen als Hof von Rudolf, einem Bürger von Maribor und ehemaligen Provinzbeamten in Breg bei Maribor, erwähnt wurde. Die zweite zuverlässige Erwähnung von Betnava findet sich in einem Dokument aus dem Jahr 1363: Es wird als „Paldrumss hoff“ – Paltrams Hof, d. h. der Hof von Rudolfs Sohn Paltram (I) – erwähnt. In einem Dokument aus dem Jahr 1378 wird Rudolfs Enkel Paltram (II.) als „von Wintnaw“ – aus Betnava – bezeichnet, und dies ist die erste explizite Erwähnung von Betnava. Wahrscheinlich zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts, aber sicherlich vor 1526, wurden die Auerspergs zu den Eigentümern. Im Jahr 1555 verkaufte Volf Engelbert Auersperg das Anwesen an seinen Schwager Luka Szekely, und 1587 wurden die Herbersteins zu den Eigentümern. Im Jahr 1677 kaufte Janez Jakob Graf Khisl das Schloss, das jedoch 1685 niederbrannte. Das Gebäude wurde vermutlich erst von den Grafen von Brandis wieder aufgebaut, die Betnava zusammen mit anderen dazugehörigen Gütern 1727 erbten. Betnava blieb bis 1863 im Besitz der Familie Brandis, dann wurde es zur Sommerresidenz der Bischöfe von Lavant. 1941 nahmen die deutschen Besatzer das Gut der Diözese weg, und nach dem Krieg ging es in Staatsbesitz über.

 

MISSION HARBOUR AUTHORITY - 33428 Harbour Ave Mission BC

 

The iconic Mission Heritage Railway Bridge c. 1909, is a Canadian Pacific Railway bridge, spanning the fast paced Fraser River between Mission and Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada

 

Autumn Sundown

 

Mission Railway Bridge:

Replacing an earlier bridge built in 1891, which was the first and only bridge crossing of the Fraser below Siska in the Fraser Canyon until the construction of the New Westminster rail bridge in 1904, it was constructed in 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Mission Railway Bridge is supported by 13 concrete piers and is approximately 533 metres in length. Before completion of the Mission highway bridge, highway traffic to and from Matsqui and Abbotsford with Mission used the bridge as a one-way alternating route, with traffic lights at either end to control direction. Rail traffic often held up car crossings, causing long and often very lengthy waits, which were a part of daily life in the Central Valley until the new bridge was completed.

 

Beneath the bridge's north abutment is an important river-level gauge monitored during the annual Fraser freshet. The bridge is also the location of the end of the Fraser's tidal bore - downstream from the bridge the river is increasingly influenced by tidal influences from the Georgia Strait.

 

Swing span

The Mission Railway Bridge has a swing span which has a vertical clearance of 4.9 metres above the water when closed. The swing span is fitted atop a circular concrete pier, the 10th from the north bank of the river. The 10th pier is protected from shipping traffic by two 46 metre wood piers extending upstream and downstream respectively perpendicular to the bridge which are tapered at both ends. The navigation channel past the bridge is 30 metres in width. At night a fixed white light is displayed on piers 9 and 11 as well as at the up-river and down-river ends of the protection pier.

 

The majority of marine traffic consists of log tows and gravel barges, which are permitted to use the navigation channel beneath the fixed span between piers 5 and 6. The swing span is used for wood chip barges and other vessels which cannot navigate beneath the span between piers 5 and 6.

 

CPR maintains a bridge tender 24 hours per day at an office on the north bank of the bridge. Vessels requesting passage through the swing span contact the bridge tender on marine VHF radio, whereby the tender walks the bridge to a control booth situated on the swing span. Wikipedia

Atlantic seaside resort town in Southern Maine. The town is home of Palace Playland, an amusement park that dates back to 1902 and occupies four acres of beachfront.

 

Attractions included "The Carousel," with hand-carved wooden horses from Germany, beautifully painted and gold-leaf accented. "The Jack and Jill“ consisted of a large bucket that hoisted two people to the top of a 50 foot slide and dumped them out. Dominating the park was “Noah’s Ark,” a huge ark-shaped funhouse that rocked back and forth while parents hung onto their little ones straining to run through the below-deck passages.

 

A fire in 1969, reportedly started by a penny that replaced a fuse, consumed the park.

 

I couldn't bring myself photograph the cookie-cutter attractions that now make up Palace Playland. Those childhood pictures of unique charm and character exist only in my mind.

  

A quick phone snap as we were passing today. I'll replace it when I have remembered to bring my main camera with me. Later: now replaced!

 

This is St Michael's Church at the tiny village of Haselbech in Northamptonshire. It is Grade II*-listed and parts of it date from the 13th and 14th centuries. The beautiful west tower dates from around 1500. I always find it remarkable how so many relatively small English villages have beautiful medieval churches. The villages were clearly very much bigger in medieval times, and in the case of Haselbech this is confirmed at:

To Prologue of the Story "The Doors"

 

♫♫Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Roll Me Away♫♫

 

As she clutched onto the firm grip behind her Ronnie, nestled snugly on the sleek motorbike, a wave of tranquility washed over her. The gentle hum of the engine became a soothing symphony, lulling her into a sense of absolute safety. The open road stretched out before them, beckoning them towards a horizon painted with endless possibilities.

 

The cool breeze weaving through their hair, carried with it the promise of new adventures. It whispered tales of dreams waiting to unfold, of aspirations that was soaring high like the eagles circling overhead. With her heart filled with boundless trust, she leaned into her partner and surrendered to the present moment.

 

Every mile of their journey they traversed became a testament to their unwavering bond. The rhythm of the bike beneath them echoed the synchronous beating of their loving hearts. The world outside faded away, replaced by a shared sense of purpose and an unbreakable connection. In this intimate embrace, she was enveloped by an unwavering belief that together, they could conquer any challenge that was lying ahead.

 

As the endless road continued to unravel before them, she was reminded of the enduring power of trust. It was the cornerstone of their partnership, the foundation upon which their dreams were built. With every mile they rode, she was filled with a deep abiding faith in her companion, knowing that she would always have their back, just as her partner had hers. And so, they journeyed on, carried by the wind, propelled by their dreams, and bound together by a love that knew no bounds.

Looking north along the San Mateo County Coastline, I'm drawn to the geometric variability, caused by the ever shifting whims of the tide. The marine layer is just starting to dominate the scene, replacing the warm spaces of sunlight with moist, bone chilling air.

Nylon strings are traditionally tied behind the bridge, but I've found that after years of use strings begin to saw through the wood where they are tied. I've found that using tiny blocks of wood to secure the wood avoids the issue.

Ende Jänner bzw. Anfang Feber hat es wieder ordentlich geschneit in weiten Teilen Österreichs. Wenige Tage später setzte jedoch ein Hoch mit jede Menge Sonnenschein durch. Da ich eine Reise zum Obdacher Sattel seit längerem geplant habe, habe ich mich entschlossen, dorthin zu fahren. Mein eigentlicher Plan, mit dem letzten Schnellzug nach Graz und von dort mit dem ersten Zug des Tages nach Zeltweg zu fahren, musste aber ausgesetzt worden da in der NachtTemperaturen um -15 Grad erwartet waren, also kein gutes Wetter für solche Touren inklusive nächtliche Stadtbummeln. Daher habe ich doch ein Zimmer gebucht, obwohl wir jetzt jedes Cent in unsere neue – übrigens erste - Wohnung investieren. Aber wenn man nachts schläft, kann ja ruhig gleich am Morgen losfahren. Gedacht, getan und so gelangte ich am ersten Tag des Toures nach Grünbach am Schneeberg. Wegen akuten Ersatzteilmangel bei den ÖBB fahren jetzt wieder öfter die alte 5047er nach Puchberg, daher war ich ein wenig nervös, ob ein Desiro oder eine 5047er kommt. Zum Glück waren an diesem Tag beide Umläufe mit 5022ern bestückt und so konnte 5022.038 mit dem R 6427 verewigt werden.

 

The end of January and the very first weeks of February brought large amounts of snow into Austria. Accompanied with days with 8 hours of sunshine, perfect conditions were expected to take a tour to Obdach – a destination that I have been planning to visit for a long time. Initially, I planned to take the last fast train to Graz which arrives there around 1:30 a.m and continue the journey with an early S-Bahn towards Zeltweg. However, as temperatures around – 15 Degrees Celsius were forecasted, I had to rent a room – such temperatures are certainly not the perfect ones to have a tour with a stopover at night. Since I had a room for the night, I decided to start early in the morning – the first destination was Grünbach am Scheenberg. Recently, however, some excitement is associated with tours around Wiener Neustadt as due to the scarcity of spare parts, the Desiros of the series 5022 are occasionally replaced by the ugly old 5047 DMUs. This day, I had a luck as all trains were operated with Desiros. One of them, 5022.038 is passing my spot with R 6427 towards Puchberg.

The church of Saint Peter was built to replace a previous church washed away in a significant flood in 1337

Sometimes referred to as "the Cathedral of the Fens", the largely Perpendicular church is Grade 1 listed, and is often regarded as one of England's finest parish churches.

 

The Fenlands of south-east Lincolnshire, west Norfolk and north Cambridgeshire are rich in medieval ecclesiastical architecture, because of this the area is sometimes referred to as the "Holy Land of the English".

I walk on my own to think it over

I can't believe this is real

It all seems so clear

All seems so right

I can't put on words how I feel

In time you'll see

What you mean to me

Everyday I think of you

There's nothing here in the world

That can replace you, no

There's nothing here in the world

I can face without you, no

I'm lost in your eyes

You dream me away from here

Far away, where I can feel no pain

With you i feel safe

I know you keep me out of harms way

In time you'll see

What you mean to me

Everyday I think of you

There's nothing here in the world

That can replace you, no

There's nothing here in the world

I can face without you

Anytime you doubt with us

Makes you wanna run away

You think of what we have

If it feels like everything goes there away

I'll be standing here

There's nothing here in the world

That can replace you

There's nothing here in the world

That can replace you, no

there's nothing here in the world

I can face without you

Nothing in this world can replace you

There is nothing

There is nothing

There is nothing

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

 

The Skeppsholmen Church (Swedish: Skeppsholmskyrkan) is a former church on the islet of Skeppsholmen in central Stockholm, Sweden.

 

Named after its location, the church was built 1823-1849 to replace a minor wooden church on Blasieholmen destroyed in the devastating fire of 1822. Inaugurated by King Charles XIV John on 24 July 1842 and still officially carrying his name,[2] it was designed by the architect Fredrik Blom as a neoclassical octahedral temple inspired by the Pantheon in Rome, borrowing the coffered ceiling while substituting the oculus for the temple-shaped lantern light. On all sides, the plain white walls restored in 1998 are pierced by portals whose four pillars support semi-circular lunettes. Inside the cruciform exterior, the interior sheet of the wooden double cupola is supported by paired doric columns and rounded arches. Accompanying the painted altarpiece are niches with statues of the apostles and two plaster groups.

 

The Skeppsholmen parish was discontinued in 1969 when the Navy moved to the Muskö naval base, and the church was secularized in 2002. Since May 2009, the building has been a concert hall called Eric Ericsonhallen. It was named after the Swedish conductor and choral conductor Eric Ericson (1918–2013).
