The Siegestor in Munich is a three-arched triumphal arch crowned with a statue of Bavaria with a lion-quadriga.
The Siegestor is 21 meters high, 24 m wide, and 12 m deep. It is located between the Ludwig Maximilian University and the Ohmstraße, where the Ludwigstraße ends and the Leopoldstraße begins. It thus sits at the boundary between the two Munich districts of Maxvorstadt and Schwabing.
The gate was commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria,[designed by Friedrich von Gärtner and completed by Eduard Mezger in 1852. The marble quadriga was sculpted by Johann Martin von Wagner, artistic advisor to Ludwig and a professor at the University of Würzburg. Lions were likely used in the quadriga, instead of the more usual horses, because the lion was a heraldic charge of the House of Wittelsbach, the ruling family of the Bavarian monarchy.
The gate was originally dedicated to the glory of the Bavarian army. Today, the Siegestor is a monument and reminder to peace. After sustaining heavy damage in World War II it was to be demolished in July 1945, however, the gate was reconstructed and restored only partially, in a manner similar to the conservation of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche in Berlin. The new inscription on the back side by Wilhelm Hausenstein reads Dem Sieg geweiht, vom Krieg zerstört, zum Frieden mahnend, "Dedicated to victory, destroyed by war, urging peace". In the early 21st century, the remaining statues were meticulously cleaned and restored.

I need to install photoshop to finish it. Using GIMP without knowing where all the tools are or what shortcuts there are makes it too difficult! :-)
At least now the very faded young man is visible again.

The Château de la Napoule is a restored French castle, located in Mandelieu-la-Napoule in the Alpes-Maritimes Department of France, It has been classified as an historical landmark since 1993, and the gardens are listed by the French Ministry of Culture as among the Notable gardens of France. It was featured as one of the main locations in the 1999 movie Simon Sez.
The castle was constructed in the 14th century by the Countess of Villeneuve. Over the centuries it was rebuilt several times. In the 19th century it was turned into a glass factory. In 1918, it was purchased by Americans, Henry Clews Jr. and Marie Clews (1880-1959), who restored and moved into the castle. They added additional sections in their own personal style, with sculptures by Henry Clews Jr. The castle is owned by the La Napoule Art Foundation, which was founded in 1951 by Marie Clews, and serves as a cultural centre.
After Henry's death and during the Second World War, the castle was captured by German soldiers. Marie Clews served the soldiers by acting as the maid of the castle's staff so she could stay close to her home and the memory of her husband.
When the Clewses acquired the castle, the park had cedar and eucalyptus trees, and had been abandoned for years. Marie Clews began the restoration of the gardens. The park of the castle today has elements of a garden à la française and of an English landscape garden, with a grand alley, basins, perspectives, and views of the sea. In addition, there are three smaller gardens in the Italian style: the Garden de la Mancha next to the Tower of La Mancha, under which the mausoleum of the Clews family is located; the terraces which overlook the Bay of Cannes, which are planted with cypress trees, hedges and rosemary; and the secret garden, in a corner of the walls with windows looking at the sea, with a Venetian well in the centre.
I'm quite satisfied with the edition of this photo. I like the dream-like atmosphere achieved.
Thanks for viewing.
York House, the old Grenada Parliament building, located on Church Street in St George’s, was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004.
It was built in the 1780s in an ornate Georgian Style of architecture. It was originally built as the family residence for Jean de Ponthieu.
It was purchased in 1801 to be the House of Legislature. It was the most prominent civil building in the city, if not in the country.
Grenada is in the process of trying to restore the historic building.

PASADENA CITY HALL SEISMIC UPGRADE AND REHABILITATION PROJECT
Pasadena City Hall was built in 1927 to inspire a city with beauty, boldness and vision. It is an important part of this community’s rich architectural heritage.
In 2003, the City Council approved a plan for the seismic retrofit, historic renovation and infrastructure improvements to ensure that Pasadena City Hall will continue to stand proud and serve the community for another 100 years.
Seismic retrofit of the building will include installation of structural base isolators that will allow the building to withstand future earthquake activity. Restoration activities will allow for the preservation of the many historic architectural elements of City Hall, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. New building infrastructure is necessary due to severe demands placed on the building over the past 77 years as a result of the piecemeal addition of heating, air conditioning, and technology systems. An interesting fact: all of the plumbing is original!
The building was closed in July 2004, and City Hall offices have been moved to interim locations.
Building construction started in March 2005 and is expected to be completed in Summer 2007.
The picture above was taken yesterday.
Arriva North East - MAX branded - VDL SB200 / Wright Pulsar 2 - NK09 EJD is seen here at Stockton (Thornaby), Teesside Park Drive operating the first day of Saturday only service S1 to Stockton High Street on October 31st 2015.
Today was the first day of new service S1 running from Stockton High Street to Teesside Park which restores a lost link which was lost when Leven Valley ceased trading earlier in 2015. Arriva did previously serve Teesside Park in the past put they "apparently" stopped serving the leisure park due to traffic around the area.
This imposing, six-sided, wooden lighthouse looks thoroughly at home on Cemetery Point. But this is not its original site.
The lighthouse was first built on a rugged headland at the entrance to Akaroa Harbour, more than 80 metres above sea level. The site was chosen in 1875 and the lighthouse built in 1878-79, to a design that was developed by an engineer, John Blackett, for New Zealand conditions. There are several similar lighthouses elsewhere on the New Zealand coast, but the design is particular to New Zealand.
The materials were brought in by ship to a landing in Haylocks Bay, near the site, and hauled up a specially built road to the top of the headland. The light first shone on 1 January 1880. It was a “manned” lighthouse and keepers’ houses were built on the headland.
In 1977, the old lighthouse was replaced by an automatic light. The following year a Lighthouse Preservation Society was formed in Akaroa and by the year’s end the tower had been cut into three pieces and manoeuvred over steep and narrow Lighthouse Road down to Akaroa, where it was re-assembled on Cemetery Point. Its historic equipment, which had been salvaged before the tower was moved, was then re-installed.
Fort Parker was founded by Elder John Parker and his three sons, Benjamin, Silas and James, and other families from the Predestinarian Baptist Church of Crawford County, Illinois. Traveling by ox-drawn wagons, they came to Texas in 1833, settled along the Navasota River, and built Fort Parker for protection against Indians. Completed in March of 1834, the stockade's walls were constructed of split cedar logs buried in the ground and extending up 12 feet with sharp points. Inside the walls were two-story blockhouses, rows of log cabins for living quarters, and a livestock corral. The Parker family, members of a group of pioneers settling the Brazos Trail Region in the early 1800s, arrived near the future site of Groesbeck in 1833. Determined to make a go of it despite the longstanding presence of Indians throughout the surrounding countryside, the Parkers proceeded to clear brush, plant crops, and build a stockade known as “Parker’s Fort.” The fort was constructed of split cedars, anchored in the ground and rising approximately twelve feet. Blockhouses were built in opposing corners, providing a view of the landscape (and as aides in defense). Within the stockade walls the family and fellow colonists built two rows of log cabins as living quarters, completing the project by March of 1834. Despite the stockade’s heavy construction and defensive features they were deceitfully attacked. Since there had been no Indian troubles, they felt so secure they left the fort's gates open so workers could come and go with ease. But on May 19, 1836, while the men worked in the fields and the children played inside the fort, more than 100 Indians -- Comanche, Kiowa, Caddo and Wichita -- appeared at the gates with a white flag of peace. Benjamin Parker left the fort to talk to the warriors, who told him they wanted a safe place to camp and some beef. As Parker returned with beef, the riders surrounded him and killed him with their lances. Before the gates could be closed, the raiders rushed inside the fort, and killed Elder John Parker and his son Silas. As the men in the fields rushed to the fort, the Indians escaped with two women and three children. Behind them, five settlers lay dead and others were wounded, some of whom died later.and, once it was over, all members of this small pioneering community were either dispersed, kidnapped, or dead. Nine-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker would be one of the kidnapped victims. Fort Parker, abandoned after the attack, disintegrated with age. In 1930 the first replica of the fort appeared on the site, followed by a rebuild in 1967. Today, Old Fort Parker provides a living history interpretation of early life in the region courtesy of the Fort Parker Historical Society and the city of Groesbeck. A full, year-round event schedule includes trail rides, festivals, and celebrations. - See more at: texasbrazostrail.com/plan-your-adventure/historic-sites-a...

A mostly restored E-8 locomotive sits in full New York Central paint scheme at the Canal Street Station Village in Duanesburg, N.Y.
The guy who owns it has over the last 10 years created a neat little slice of American history alongside his fabrication shop. There’s a reproduction of an old Erie Canal-side store, a classic diner, this locomotive, and a number of other relics, my favorite being a chain-driven 1926 Mack Bulldog which is REALLY not restored.
When he finishes the locomotive -- which is just a shell, no mechanicals inside -- he plans to use it as an ice cream shop.
Check out the previous image in my photostream to see what this locomotive looked like before he went to work on it.
