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.
На світлині погляд з бічної північної нави на іконостас центральної апсиди, Видно частину іконостасу бічної південної нави. Через відкриту Царську браму та понад іконостасом видно частину оформлення вівтарного простору.
З правого боку центрального іконостасу на предвівтарній арці фреска, яка є частиною сюжету Стрітення Господнє -зустріч Ісуса Христа в Єрусалимському храмі з праведним Симеоном та Анною пророчицею.
Друга частина сюжету Стрітення Господнє (див. Інше фото) знаходиться з лівого боку центрального іконостасу на предвівтарній арці - на фресці юна Богоматір у темному покриві стоїть біля входу до храму. За Нею старець Йосип з двома білими голубами, принесеними на жертву цілопалення.
Стрітення Господнє у двох фресках на арочних колонах виконав художник Віктор Михайлович Васнєцов.
2 лютого християни вшановують подію з Євангелія, яка сталася на 40 день після народження Ісуса Христа. Богородиця та Йосиф принесли своє немовля до храму, щоб посвятити його Богові та віддати за нього символічну жертву.
За тогочасним звичаєм у жертву приносили ягня та голуба. Якщо ж сім’я не мала змоги пожертвувати стільки, дозволялося принести дві голубки. З іконографії бачимо, що земна сім’я Ісуса не була заможною, адже на релігійних зображеннях на честь цього свята бачимо саме дві голубки.
У храмі Марія і Йосиф зустрічають праведного Симеона, який все життя чекав на зустріч з Господом. Коли він побачив Ісуса, то зрозумів, що це і є довгожданий Месія.
Старець Симеон пророкував про велич Ісуса, його складний шлях та муки, які доведеться пізнати материнському серцю Марії. За переказами, Симеон помер наступного дня після цієї зустрічі й на той час йому було понад 300 років.
Стрітення – це єдине серед дванадесятих (дванадцяти найбільш шанованих) свят у християнстві, яке за уставом одночасно є і Богородичним, і Господнім (тобто таким, яке вшановує і Бога, і Богоматір).
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.

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 took notice when turning onto the street, The color, contrast, and hard shadows drew my attention and I just had to capture it as best I could.
An old tavern building restored in Ilasco Missouri. Falstaff beer was popular primarily in the St. Louis Missouri region. It never was very popular in Central Illinois. Ilasco is a ghost town that housed workers for a giant cement plant that had its heyday in the first half of the 1900’s.

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
Port Hope's downtown is celebrated now as the best-preserved 19th-century streetscape in Ontario. The town's local chapter of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario and the Heritage Port Hope Advisory Committee are very active and advise on the restoration and preservation of architecturally or historically significant buildings. With over 270 heritage-designated buildings throughout the municipality, Port Hope has a higher per capita rate of preservation than any other town or city in Canada.
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 :-) ).

The hilltop offers an unrivalled view of Gyantse town, and there is a small museum documenting the excesses of the British Younhusband expedition, which severely damaged the fortress in 1904. Restoration work at the fortress has taken place in recent years, but visitors have still occasinally found it difficult to gain acces.
The original fortress of Gyel-khar-tse (རྒྱལ་ཁར་ རྩེ་ rgyal khar rtse) is attributed to Pelkhor-tsen, son of the anti-Buddhist king Langdarma, who vainly sought to perpetuate the Yarlung Dynasty from West Tibet following the assassination of his father.
The walls of the present structure were reputedly built in 1268, following the rise to power of the Sakyapas, and in 1365 a palatial castle was founded on the hilltop by the local prince, Phakpa Pelzangpo (1318-1370), who had acquired influence at the court in Sakya through his reputation as a brave general in the southern military campaigns conducted by his Sakyapa overlords, and at Zhalu, where in 1350 he entered into a marriage alliance with the lords of Zhalu. As dowry he was granted the fiefdom of Changra, west of Gyantse, and he invited the great Buddhist master Buton Rinchendrub of Zhalu to reside in a temple which he had constructed there. In 1365, in addition to the Gyantse Castle, he also founded the Tsechen Chode (Shambu Tsegu) castle and temple complex at the entrance to the Gyantse valley and adopted it as his principal seat. The incarnation of Buton, Drubchen Kunga Lodro, also resided there.
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.
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.
