Elvaston Castle is a stately home in Elvaston, Derbyshire, England. The Gothic Revival castle and surrounding parkland is run and owned by Derbyshire County Council as a country park known as Elvaston Castle Country Park. The country park has 200 acres (0.81 km2) of woodlands, parkland and formal gardens.
The centrepiece of the estate is the Grade II* Listed Elvaston Castle. The castle has been neglected and is in need of restoration. Due to its condition, the building is not open to the public, and since 2008 has been listed on the Buildings at Risk Register.

Hotel Lincoln is located in Harrington, Washington. It is an historic 1902 hotel and is in the process of rehabilitation. It is on the local, state, and national register of historic places. I grew in the same town and my parents owned a different hotel 1/4 mile away.
I believe that, sometimes, you can see ART "already" even if the piece is still not yet finished ;)

Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand.
The city suffered a series of earthquakes between September 2010 and January 2012, with the most destructive of them occurring on 22 February 2011, in which 185 people were killed and thousands of buildings across the city collapsed or suffered severe damage. By late 2013, 1,500 buildings in the city had been demolished, leading to ongoing recovery and rebuilding projects across the city.
We were pulling out of a small parking area after taking this shot www.flickr.com/photos/17469730@N00/52976731535/in/album-7... when I spotted the top of this building, I needed to investigate and found this lovely scene with these lovely trees and the backdrop of Canola fields and the Cheviot hills in the distance. As we left it rained so heavy I had to pull over. We were far off the beaten track and had found a few compositions in what felt like a remote area .
“Urban Ecosystem Restoration” mural painted by Millo for Street Art For Mankind
From the Street Art For Mankind instagram post:
It features the artist’s signature clumsy character in a surreal setting, attempting to reclaim his space in an urban jungle that has forgotten our primary needs. It poetically and powerfully underscores the importance of green spaces in urban environments. The character demonstrates the strength of these spaces, their transformative impact on our reality, and how they enhance our well-being. It’s a clear invitation to reconnect with nature in our cities.

Carousel Horse Restoration work in progress on this authentic vintage carousel horse found in North Carolina.
Looking across buttes in Valley of the Gods towards Monument Valley with the early morning light filtered by a light cloud cover. This region exudes a spiritual grace, not surprisingly as a place of habitation by indigenous peoples for at least the last 12,000 years as well as a popular destination for many seeking peace in the empty raw landscapes of the Colorado Plateau.
Valley of the Gods is likely to be formally reincorporated into the Bears Ears National Monument with recent actions by President Biden, reversing the previous administration's drastic shrinking of the monument established by President Obama.

I do not look at statistics all that often, but I did recently. I saw that just a couple weeks ago or so I had passed 3 million views. Which gave me pause for reflection. I first joined Flickr in 2007. I did not do anything with it for the first year, but as I started figuring out what it was about, I became more active. Since that time, I have shared 1000 photos.
I have enjoyed my interaction with other photographers from all over the world, loved seeing the world through their eyes. I have learned from their work and from their feedback. Awards groups, something not everyone loves, have functioned like small photo contests and have taught me a great deal. I have made friends with people I have never met in person. While not without its frustrations, Flickr has mostly been a positive experience for me, largely because of the photographers I have encountered and the work they have shared.
So thanks, all of you. Thanks for your interest in my work, your encouragement, and for sharing yourselves as you have courageously posted your own work for me to enjoy and learn from.
Here is another shot taken in the Great Smoky Mountains. The Native Americans know these mountains as a spiritually important place and I have to agree with them. I do not get out as much as I would like, but it restores me when I do. I appreciate having a place to share what I find there. Again, thanks to you all.

I imagine the bill for the scaffolding must have been huge! I hope it is sufficiently protected against the wind as I reckon it must whip over this coast during the winter months

Vintage pick-up truck on the street in Leipers Fork TN. Across the street is Fox & Locke, a bar, restaurant and live music venue with a motorcycle oriented crowd. Place was hopping on this warm spring Sunday afternoon.
Crystal Palace Subway is a beautifully designed and crafted relic of Victorian construction. Hidden under the Crystal Palace Parade it was built to provide access to the Crystal Palace.
The Crystal Palace was a cast iron and plate glass building originally erected in Hyde Park to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. After the exhibition, it was rebuilt in an enlarged form at the top of Sydenham Hill. It proved a popular attraction and stood from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936.

This subway is going to be so impressive when it is opened to the public (and all the builder's material is removed :-) ).

Couldnt begin to count the number of times I've been to Herringfleet, along with hordes of other photographers, but its such a lovely spot it's always worth the walk even if every possible compostion has been shot a thousand times. On last nights visit there was a marsh harrier hunting right by me, so it was worth it just to see that.

Grade 2 listed!
But restoration could be happening

The long derelict New York, Ontario and Western (O&W) depot in Middletown, NY is finally being restored after several years of post-fire abandonment. The north tower had to be demolished. The building will provide office space for community services.
Took this picture on a recent trip to Victoria, Canada. It is a section of the inner harbour with the Empress Hotel in the background. They were doing some restoration work on the Empress Hotel so you will notice some scaffolding on the right side of the picture...Drats!
Note: The whale in the foreground is made out of Tiffany glass.
This wonderful little building (1920) stands on the UC Berkeley campus right on the edge of Strawberry Creek, among the tall trees. Designed by John Galen Howard and built entirely of redwood.
Now this little gem has been completely renewed and is clad in beautiful, all-new, California redwood.

Amazingly, those new windows are aluminum-clad.
The original redwood siding remained completely stable for 100 years!! Redwood is an amazing building material. No wonder the original trees of this region were relentlessly cut and utilized over 100 years ago.
If you have some spare cash (and lots of it these days) you can restore this house to its former glory. Mind you, whatever it costs to buy this property, you'll have to spend equally as much in the restoration.
P.S. As someone who doesn't own a smart phone and prefers to leave the world behind on my walks, I'm always fascinated to observe that 98% of people can't walk without looking at their device. Perhaps its a fear this world will leave them behind if they do. I look at it the other way. This is merely a world of convenience. The way to peace lies inwards. As C.S. Lewis wrote in the final book of his Narnia Chronicles, "Further up, and further in." That requires reflection, and some inner restoration..
