Eine etwas andere Ansicht von Schloss Ulrichshusen. Die niedrige Aufnahmeposition und der dunkle Stein im Vordergrund verstärken den Blick von unten auf das Schloss und verleihen ihm eine beinahe monumentale Wirkung. Das abendliche Sonnenlicht zeichnet einzelne helle Flächen auf Fassade und Hügel, die in der Schwarzweißumsetzung zu grafischen Elementen werden.
Aufgenommen mit der Fujifilm GFX100 II und dem Fujinon GF 20–35 mm f/4 bei 33 mm und Blende 11.

The Hotel Boulderado is located at 13th and Spruce St. in downtown Boulder, Colorado. It opened its doors on New Year's Day 1909. The original 1908 Otis Elevator is still in operation.
As one of the first Boulder hotels, it is located in the heart of downtown. The hotel's name comes from the words "Boulder" and "Colorado" so no guest would forget where they had stayed. The hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. (#94001226)
Hotel Boulderado is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The Hotel Boulderado houses three restaurants. Located off of the main lobby are Spruce Farm and Fish, a fine-dining restaurant, and the Corner Bar, a more casual eatery. The basement contains a speakeasy-style bar, License No. 1, which recently replaced Catacombs. All three restaurants share a kitchen.
The Hotel Boulderado appears in Stephen King's novel Misery.
History
In 1905, Boulder was home to 8,000 residents, the University of Colorado, one of the Chautauqua cultural and educational resorts, and twenty-six automobiles. Residents called the city the "Athens of the West." As a new-forged railroad hub, the city did have some hotels to accommodate visitors, but in December 1905, the city council launched the "hotel proposition," furthered by the Boulder newspaper, the Daily Camera. Committees from Boulder's Commercial Association raised funds in the form of $100 subscriptions, and the Boulder Hotel Company was formed, which owned the hotel until 1939.
The hotel was opened with a Gala Ball on New Year's Eve of 1908. The first guests checked in on New Years Day, 1909. The first guest register is still on display in the main lobby, and the modern hotel still commemorates their opening every year with a New Year's Eve Gala Ball, voted the #1 Place to Celebrate New Year's Eve by Downtown Boulder readers.
Ghost Sightings
It is said that Room 347 at Hotel Boulderado is haunted and has had many ghost sightings throughout the years. Many guests have complained that the water has turned on sporadically throughout the night.

Paycocke's House in Coggeshall is a National Trust Property. This frontage is white with red brickwork that almost makes it look pink from a distance.
From the NT Handbook:-
Set in an ancient village full of listed buildings, this exquisitely carved half-timbered Tudor cloth merchant's house offers five centuries of craftsmanship and conservation. Explore the many architectural changes and see how the house was saved from demolition and restored to its former glory.
This is a bit of an experimental shot, I wanted to capture all the detail of the facade so this is actually a panorama of 11 shots stitched together, but instead of moving the camera in an arc I stepped sideways a step or two at a time to get a flat image. I am pleased with the result.
The Belen Hotel located on Becker Avenue, Belen in the County of Valencia. Built in 1907 by German immigrant Mrs. Bertha Rutz for railroaders and other rail guests. She ran the hotel until her death in 1953.
Now a residence and art gallery.

The Zollern Colliery
A castle of labour
At first sight palatial redbrick facades and artistically adorned gables on buildings dotted around a grassy square are more reminiscent of an aristocratic residence than a coal mine. This was exactly one of the ideas behind the architecture.
Today the “mansion of labour” in the west of Dortmund is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and impressive testimonies to Germany’s industrial history. The engine house with its famous Jugendstil (art nouveau) doorway is already an icon. But the museum’s outstanding industrial architecture is only one of many different attractive facets. The various sections of the exhibition will take you into a world of harsh working conditions, and the stories of the men and women who worked in coalmining during the 20th century will bring this vividly to life.
Another windmill shot, I liked the contrast of the red bricks against the green surroundings and the rather dramatic sky.
A quiet street is flanked by red-brick buildings, with vehicles parked on the side and a church spire visible in the distance. Trees and shopfronts line the sidewalk, contributing to the quaint charm of this urban scene.

Walls of The Old Town in Warsaw and The Barbican at background :)
Warsaw Old Town (Polish: Stare Miasto and colloquially as Starówka) is the oldest part of Warsaw, the capital city of Poland. It is one of the most prominent tourist attractions in Warsaw. The heart of the area is the Old Town Market Place, rich in restaurants, cafés and shops. Surrounding streets feature medieval architecture such as the city walls, St. John's Cathedral and the Barbican which links the Old Town with Warsaw New Town. The Old Town was established in the 13th century. Initially surrounded by an earthwork rampart, prior to 1339 it was fortified with brick city walls. The architecture of the Old Town has changed over the centuries along with the changing styles of art. During the Invasion of Poland (1939), much of the district was badly damaged by the German Luftwaffe, which targeted the city's residential areas and historic landmarks in a campaign of terror bombing. After World War II, the Old Town was meticulously rebuilt. In an effort at anastylosis, as many as possible of the original bricks were reused. However, the reconstruction was not always accurate to prewar Warsaw, sometimes deference being given to an earlier period, an attempt being made to improve on the original, or an authentic-looking facade being made to cover a more modern building. In 1980, Warsaw's Old Town was placed on the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites as "an outstanding example of a near-total reconstruction of a span of history covering the 13th to the 20th century. The site is also one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments, as designated September 16, 1994. Its listing is maintained by the National Heritage Board of Poland.

Mury warszawskiej Starówki oraz Barbakan w tle :)
Stare Miasto w Warszawie, zwyczajowo Starówka – dawne miasto Stara Warszawa, najstarszy ośrodek miejski Warszawy będący zwartym zespołem architektury zabytkowej, przeważnie z XVII i XVIII wieku o średniowiecznym układzie zabudowy, otoczone pierścieniem murów obronnych z XIV–XVI wieku. Współcześnie najstarsza część i obszar MSI w dzielnicy Śródmieście. Stare Miasto zostało założone na skarpie, nad brzegiem dopływu Wisły – rzeczki Kamionki, obok zamku książąt mazowieckich wzniesionego kilka lat wcześniej, na północ od wsi Warszawa. Jego początki sięgają XIII wieku. Wtedy otoczone było wałem ziemnym, który pod koniec XIV wieku został zastąpiony murem obronnym. Architektura Starego Miasta zmieniała się na przestrzeni wieków wraz ze zmieniającymi się stylami w sztuce. Pierwsze średniowieczne kamienice budowane były w stylu gotyckim, za czasów Zygmunta Augusta domy, odnawiane czy odbudowywane po klęskach żywiołowych, miały charakter renesansowy. Na początku XVII wieku kamienice zyskały barwne tynki i barokowe zdobienia. W 1944 podczas powstania warszawskiego zabudowania Starego Miasta zostały zniszczone w ok. 90%. Przetrwało sześć domów z ponad 260. Warszawscy architekci podjęli temat odbudowy stolicy już po pierwszych zniszczeniach w 1939. W pracowniach architektonicznych, konspiracyjnie lub pod pozorem innych prac, opracowywali plany urbanistyczne i dokumentacyjne. Zdecydowano się na przywrócenie świetności Starego Miasta z XVIII wieku, choć nie we wszystkich szczegółach. Zachowany został układ przestrzenny miasta z okresu jego lokacji z XII–XIII wieku. 2 września 1980 roku Stare Miasto w Warszawie zostało umieszczone na liście światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO. Warszawska Starówka znalazła się na liście jako jedyny na świecie (w tej skali) przykład niemal kompletnej rekonstrukcji.

The misty November day in my hometown (I took this shot almost at midday). On the photo you can see the buitding of the old flax factory :)
Żyrardów - small town in Central Poland, located in the Mazovia region. It owes its unique atmosphere to the characteristic architecture of an industrial town. The original spatial layout of the community, which grew around a manufacturing plant in the mid-19th century, has been preserved to the present day. The historic center of Żyrardów (mostly buildings from red bricks) is the only industrial architecture complex from the turn of the 20th c. in Europe that has been preserved to modern times in full. The old settlement covers a 76-ha area in the central part of the town. Diversified architectural forms and styles characterize the city, which has resulted from the multi-cultural character of Żyrardów. The flax trade gave the town its origins. A factory manufacturing flax that was one of the largest and modern factories in Europe was established there in 1829. Karol Dittrich and Karol Hielle, two industrialists from Germany, founded the plant. The town derives its name from the first technical director of the plant, Philip de Girard who, among others, invented a mechanical flax-spinning machine.

Budynki dawnej żyrardowskiej fabryki wyrobów lniarskich w mglisty listopadowy dzień (zdjęcie robione prawie w południe) :)
Żyrardów leży w centrum Polski, na Mazowszu. Swój niepowtarzalny klimat zawdzięcza charakterystycznej architekturze miasta zaprojektowanej w połowie XIX stulecia. Zabytkowe centrum Żyrardowa jest jedynym w Europie zachowanym w całości zespołem urbanistyczno-architektonicznym miasta przemysłowego przełomu XIX i XX wieku. Osada fabryczna obejmuje centralną część miasta o powierzchni ok. 76 ha. Charakteryzuje ją różnorodność form architektonicznych i stylów, co wynika ze zróżnicowania narodowościowego mieszkańców Żyrardowa. Początek miastu dała fabryka lniarska, która powstała na terenie dzisiejszego Żyrardowa w 1829 roku. Była to jedna z największych i najnowocześniejszych fabryk ówczesnej Europy. Została założona przez dwóch przemysłowców z Niemiec: Karola Dittricha i Karola Hielle. Żyrardów zawdzięcza swą nazwę pierwszemu dyrektorowi technicznemu fabryki, Philipowi de Girard. Był on m.in. wynalazcą maszyny do mechanicznego przędzenia lnu.
