This little Romanesque church was originally built in the 12th century. It was replaced as a parish church in the middle of the 19th century and soon became severely dilapidated. But in the 1920s an interest in the old church building (by then completely in runis) started to take shape and money was collected to rebuild it. The church was reconstructed to its medieval form [though hardly its original 12th century form, the sacristy (here seen to the far right) was surely originally built later during the Middle Ages]. Some of the original inventory was also restored to the church -unfortunately the church was locked at the time of my visit so I couldn't see them.

The Castle of Levizzano is located in a dominant position on the wonderful hills of the homonymous village in the municipality of Castelvetro. Its structure consists of a city wall in the centre of which there is the so-called Torre Matildica - Matildic Tower.
Starting from the 12th century, the fortified complex was restored and enlarged. In particular, next to the tower that was placed to protect the entrance to the Castle, a part of the feudal palace was erected and an underground tunnel was built, which still joins the Palace to the Tower.
Around the 16th century the buildings underwent important transformations: dating back to this period is the so-called "Stanza dei Vescovi" or Bishops’ Room, which has a ceiling with ancient wooden structures and a cycle of Renaissance frescoes. On the main floor, you can enter the charming loggia overlooking the hills dotted with vineyards from the main hall. Campo San Rocco and the ancient former Napoleonic cemetery stand in the immediate vicinity of the Castle.
This beautifully restored North American T-6J Harvard Mk.IV was built in Canada in 1953 for the U.S.Air Force, with which it served as 53-4619. After being sold to the German Air Force as a pilot trainer (serving as AA050 and BG050) and then the Portuguese Air Force (as 1747) she arrived in the UK and given a RCAF scheme but after undergoing a thorough refurbishment from 1993 to 2000 she was repainted to fly again as 1747.

The Greyhound station was built in 1938, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 for its architectural significance. It was restored in 2018 and now used as a venue
Obrzycko City Hall was built in the mid-17th century. In the 19th century, the building was converted into a granary. In 1962 he was restored to its original state.
After the reconstruction retained the renaissance window from 1527 in south facade, imported in 1843 from the Monastery of Batalha in Portugal by Count Raczyński Atanazy.

Ratusz w Obrzycku został wybudowany w połowie XVII wieku. W XIX wieku budynek został przekształcony na spichlerz. W roku 1962 został przywrócony do stanu oryginalnego.
Po rekonstrukcji pozostawiono południowe okno z renesansowym obramowaniem z 1527, przywiezionym w 1843 z klasztoru w Batalha w Portugalii przez hrabiego Atanazego Raczyńskiego
This clock tower used to be on top of the Town Hall, which used to be on this spot. The clock tower was restored in 1992 and rebuilt on this spot, the Town Hall is now situated off the High Street.
I stopped for lunch here on my walk around the Chesham Outer Ring, having bought it in Darvells, an artisan bakery that has been in the town for a long time.

The Beech Fork Covered Bridge spans 210' with a column dead center. Built in 1865 is was restored two years ago by 80 year old Arnold Graton of New Hampshire. I met him as his crew secured the flood damaged Dover Bridge and he wanted me to see this bridge which he had just restored. Over time Kentucky has gone from having over 700 covered bridges to 13. And that's nothing to brag about. I still have one left, the Switzer Bridge, to visit. UPDATE,,,,the entire bridge burned to the creek....on March 8, 2021. Arson suspected...so since I started photographing the covered bridges of Kentucky,,,the number dropped from 13 to 11.

Van der Pekbuurt (neighbourhood).
During the entire renovation of this neighbourhood, the historic appearance of the outside of the houses has been restored. The new wooden doors, windows and frames have the original colours from the 1920s: ocher yellow, dark green and red brown.
De Van der Pekbuurt is gebouwd tussen 1918 en 1926 en is daarmee een van de eerste tuindorpen van Amsterdam. Architect Jan Ernst van der Pek ontwierp de stedenbouwkundige en architectonische opzet in 1916. Rode bakstenen muren, geglazuurde gele bakstenen banden en portieken die uit de gevels springen kenmerkten het straatbeeld. De wijk geldt als beschermd stadsgezicht.
De woonblokken hadden door de vele aanpassingen in de loop der tijd hun oorspronkelijke charme verloren. Door kunststof kozijnen en verdwenen originele details zoals dakkapelletjes, tuinmuren en voordeuren hadden de blokken een armoedige uitstraling gekregen. Ook de originele kleuren waren verdwenen.
Binnen de gehele renovatie van de wijk is aan de buitenzijde de historische uitstraling van de woningen van de Van der Pekbuurt teruggebracht. Zo hebben de nieuwe houten deuren en kozijnen de oorspronkelijke kleuren uit de jaren 1920: okergeel, donkergroen en roodbruin (architectenweb.nl).

We are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

Carew Tidal Mill is the only restored tidal mill in Wales and one of just five in the UK.
Documentary evidence exists which shows a mill on this spot as early as 1542. The present building dates from the early 19th century. The Mill, known locally as the ‘French Mill’, possibly because the grinding stones were imported from France, was last used for milling in around 1937.
Next to the mill is French Mill House, a Victorian property that served as the miller's house.
This 1956 Studebaker Hawk hood, came with a 170hp V8 engine. It could be upgraded to 180hp with the 4 barrel addition. The very talented restoration mechanic named Robert, told me of his passion to work on such vehicles. This piece of perfection sat idol for one year in a garage as it went through its beauty treatment.
Considering the Shuswap Car Show was held at an outdoor museum, it seemed appropriate to add a local flavour. So, I combined the rare scoop with the reflection of an old and also restored wooden building.
Another restored slide, taken somewhere in South London.
The'MB' class wasn't with us long. As a small child I remember using these on Routes 235, 242 & 276.
The route numbers are used elsewhere today in 2018; the 235 of 1971 has no equivalent, and three routes go over sections of it, the 242 is commercially run on part of the old route in Hertfordshire, and the 276 is almost the 215 today.
About two weeks ago I posted a winter photo of this house taken in 2002. It is interesting to see what changes have taken place in the last 18 years, besides the snow and rabbit tracks disappearing. The big trees are gone and a shrub and an outhouse have been added. The house was built in 1896 of locally crafted bricks by Judson Tolman and sold in 1898 to Carlos Loveland. Chesterfield was a Mormon agricultural town abandoned and now partially restored by descendants of the original residents. Chesterfield was a victim of harsh winters, isolation, and the demise of small farming communities replaced by much larger farms.

close to a well visited museum. If only all Istanbul houses were maintained like these......might be a bit boring though :)
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bukchon_Hanok_Village:
Bukchon Hanok Village is a residential neighborhood in Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea. It has many restored traditional Korean houses, called hanok. This has made it a popular tourist destination, which has caused some friction with the residents who live there.
The area of Bukchon, which consists of neighborhoods: Wonseo-dong, Jae-dong, Gye-dong, Gahoe-dong and Insa-dong, was traditionally the residential quarter of high-ranking government officials and nobility during the Joseon period. It is located north of the stream Cheonggyecheon and Jongno, hence named Bukchon, which means north village.
A friend's garage where he restores old cars. There is a lot of memorabilia to see here and this is only one wall. A remarkable visual experience.
Sporting a "restored" nose logo, BNSF 9653 swings into the curve at Valmont with an empty coal train bound for Wyoming. While its neat to see a BN logo on the nose of an executive mac, this one definitely looks better from a distance.
"De Berk" is a flour mill in Barger-Compascuum in Drenthe. The mill comes from the German Drantum (Kreis Cloppenburg) and was purchased in the eighties by miller Hendrik Bökkers from Olst, who wanted to build it in the east of the country to replace another mill. This plan did not go ahead and the mill was eventually sold on to Stichting Veenpark 't Aole Compas, which placed it in the Veenpark as a rotating mill. De Berk was restored in 2006, but since 2009 the mill has not been able to turn due to the poor condition of the tail work. The mill is a municipal monument. (source: wikipedia)

The beautiful romanesque abbey of Sant Benet de Bages, near Manresa, was founded in the IX Century but destroyed by the muslims in 1114. It was rebuilt later in romanesque style. In 1593 was put under the control of the larger Montserrat abbey until 1835, when all monastic communities where eliminated. It was sacked and abandoned till 1907, when the mother of the Catalan painter Ramon Casas bought it as a residence (it was owned by the family till 2000, and then fully restored).

Hadlow Road Station on the Wirral Way footpath between Hooton & Neston Cheshire restored to look and feel at the time of closure in 1956. Opened by the Birkenhead Railway in 1866 later run by the joint GWR & LNWR the original track lasted until 1966 due to BR DMU driver training.
The station incorporates a museum and is looked after by Friends of Hadlow Road Station, the signal box is not the original having been obtained from Hassel Green Northants, devoid of track since 1966 a length was relayed to complete the restoration by 2011.
