A little fixer-upper in Santa Rosa, California. It comes with its very own perching dove. Now if that isn't a good omen, I'm not sure what is.
A historic red brick building stands on a corner under a bright blue sky with fluffy clouds. Its detailed architecture is complemented by large windows and a sign reading "City Hall" in front.
Lindsborg, Kansas
I do not recall where this was taken. I do like these building shots from the corner point of view.

The biggest church in my hometown lit by the afternoon sun, seen from the workers' housing estate.
Holy Mother of consolation Parish Church - It's the biggest church in town. It was founded by the Sobański Family and Karol Dittrich and built from 1900 to 1903. It was designed in neogothic style and it's standing on the central square of my hometown. The church was patterned on Koln Basilica (eightfold lowered) and it has two 70 meters tall towers. The interior is decorated with the flowery motifs of stain glass windows made by Franciszek Białkowski according to the design attributed to Józef Mehoffer. The church furnishings refer to the gothic style.

Największy kościół w Żyrardowie oświetlony popołudniowym słońcem, widziany z terenu dawnego osiedla domów robotniczych.
Kościół Farny pw. Matki Bożej Pocieszenia - zbudowany w centrum miasta, w latach 1900 - 1903 z fundacji rodziny Sobańskich i Karola Dittricha. Zaprojektowany przez Józefa Piusa Dziekońskiego w stylu neogotyckim. Kościół wzorowany był na bazylice w Kolonii (ośmiokrotnie pomniejszony), posiada dwie strzeliste 70-cio metrowe wieże. We wnętrzu znajdują się piękne secesyjne witraże przedstawiające kwiaty polskie (słoneczniki, maki, chabry, lilie, malwy i chryzantemy), wykonane w pracowni Franciszka Białkowskiego, prawdopodobnie według projektu Józefa Mehoffera. Wyposażenie kościoła utrzymane jest w stylu gotyckim.
A vibrant yellow door stands out against the red brick facade of a building, closely flanked by a more subdued white door and a small window. The wall above shows signs of wear, with some misaligned tiles hinting at the structure's age and weathering.

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.

This house, along with the Conover Barn, sits with the Britannia Schoolhouse and Farmhouse on 200 acres in the middle of the City of Mississauga. The property was given to the Board of Education in the 1830's as a farm which would produce enough revenue to keep the school going. It's amazing the school board has been able to hold on to the property at a time when values are skyrocketing. The land and buildings are now used as an Educational Field Centre with a variety of programs to teach children about cultural, agricultural and ecological heritage.
I drive by it all the time and am continually astonished that such a property exists in an urban/suburban area. There are apartment buildings, office towers, stores and masses of houses surrounding this heritage oasis.
So I've tried photographing this many times but each time I would get home, look at the pictures and recognize that something just wasn't right. It finally occurred to me that the house generally appears 'dead'. It's not lived in nor is it often open to the public so the pictures always looked lifeless .....even if the light was good.
On the day I shot this, I was headed down to the lakeshore with my camera and for the first time I saw the door open as well as the truck parked to the side which gave the appearance of something happening. It looked alive and I just had to try again.
Now usually there's no way to stop on Hwy 10 to get a photograph and I knew by the time I found a place to put the car that door would probably be shut. However, on this particular day there was a police car in the right lane, red lights flashing, having stopped someone for some kind of traffic violation.
Instead of passing the officer, I pulled right in behind him, fired off a couple of shots (with the camera that is) and drove off quickly before he decided he was being gifted with a morning ticket bonanza.
As an aside, while I was reading about this property there was a history of Mississauga. I'm so used to the name I'd forgotten that the name comes from the peoples who originally inhabited this area.

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.

The last photo on the castle in Malbork and the river Nogat. There were a lot of things to watch :)
The Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork, the largest Gothic castle complex in the world, is a 13th-century Teutonic castle and fortress located near the town of Malbork on the river Nogat in Poland. It was originally constructed by the Teutonic Knights, a German Catholic religious order of crusaders, in a form of an Ordensburg fortress. The Order named it Marienburg in honour of Mary, mother of Jesus. In 1457, during the Thirteen Years’ War, it was sold by the Bohemian mercenaries to King Casimir IV of Poland in lieu of indemnities and it since served as one of the several Polish royal residences and the seat of Polish offices and institutions, interrupted by several years of Swedish occupation, and fulfilling this function until the First Partition of Poland in 1772. From then on the castle was under German rule for over 170 years until 1945. The castle is a classic example of a medieval fortress and, on its completion in 1406, was the world's largest brick castle. UNESCO designated the "Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork" and the Malbork Castle Museum a World Heritage Site in December 1997.

Ostatni rzut oka na zamek w Malborku i rzekę Nogat. Było tam co oglądać :)

Od 1961 zamek jest siedzibą Muzeum Zamkowego w Malborku.
