Old street in my hometown, with the buildings from 19-th century, in the end of October :)
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 plant 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.

Stara żyrardowska ulica z XIX-wiecznymi domami, w jesiennych kolorach :)
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.
A close-up view of a brick building with distinctive red brick accents and a clear blue sky in the background. The contrast between the white and red bricks creates an interesting architectural detail.
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 :)

Taken over a year ago wandering the streets and captured some great light between buildings. Nikon D90.
While I walked by this building I was caught by the symmetry of the vertical lines of red bricks with windows and the diagonal stretch of flower boxes. Luckily, I had my camera with me...
On a street corner in downtown Cheyenne. A historic red-brick building with a distinctive dome and surrounding shops sits under a partly cloudy sky. Vehicles are parked alongside a paved street with visible crosswalks.

Chamomile bench at Sissinghurst castle garden National Trust. Sissinghurst castle garden was the home of writer, poet and gardener Vita Sackville- West and Harold Nicolson.
Done in a hurry, can be processed better, but that green in contrast with those red bricks can only be found here in B. There's a saying that a Belgian is born with a brick in his stomach...strong stomachs we must have (hence the mussels & fries!) ;)
The Santa Cruz Surfing Museum is a museum which was established in May 1986 to document the history of surfing. With collections dating back to the earliest years of surfing on mainland United States, the museum houses a historical account of surfing in Santa Cruz, California.
Location
Located in the Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse at Lighthouse Point on West Cliff Drive, the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum opened its doors in June 1986 as the first surfing museum in the world. The lighthouse was built in 1967 as a memorial to surfer Mark Abott, who died while surfing at the nearby Pleasure Point surf break.
Overlooking the Steamer Lane surfing hotspot, this little museum features photographs, surfboards, and videos tracing over 100 years of surfing history in Santa Cruz. After funding cuts in 2009, the Santa Cruz Surfing Club Preservation Society and private donations kept the museum open.
The exhibits at the museum explore over 100 years of surfing in Santa Cruz. Introduced in 1885 by three Hawaiian princes who surfed the mouth of the San Lorenzo River on plank boards, surfing has permeated every facet of the Santa Cruz community. A plaque was dedicated to the princes: David Kawānanakoa, Edward Abnel Keliʻiahonui, and Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole (later a delegate to US Congress) in April 2010.
Throughout its history, surf culture has reflected and responded to popular culture. Photographs chronicle the evolution of surfing culture in Santa Cruz from idyllic summers spent at the beach in the 1930s and 1940s, through the hipster beach party 1950s, the surf rock 1960s, the “soul surfing” 1970s, the neon 1980s, and the rebirth of classic long-board riding in the 1990s.
Examples of surfboards from each era are on display, from the huge hollow paddle boards and redwood planks made and ridden in the 1930s and 1940s to examples of early foam and fiberglass boards, and speedy short boards used to create radical new surf moves beginning in the 1970s.
Santa Cruz Light
The museum contains the current Santa Cruz Light, marking Point Santa Cruz on the west side of Santa Cruz Anchorage.
The original lighthouse was one of a number of California coastal lights allocated funding by Congress in 1850, only 19 days after statehood. Because of disputes over ownership of the land, construction did not proceed until 1868. The original light was a two-story wooden structure, with a lantern housing a fifth-order fresnel lens. Erosion of Point Santa Cruz required the lighthouse to be moved back 300 feet (91 m) in 1879.
Around 1909 the lens was replaced with a fourth-order fresnel, for better visibility against the light of the city. The light was electrified in 1917, replaced by a wooden tower in 1941, and the original building demolished in 1948.

This assembly is at 444 to 460 K-Road.
The red brick facade caught my eye. Found nothing about the building history.

Un superbe édifice sur le canal Holländischbrookfleet, quartier Brooktorkay, dans la cité-État d’Hambourg (Hamburg), en Allemagne.
Une vue du Sankt Annen Brücke qui traverse le canal St. Annenfleet, à la jonction avec le canal Holländischbrookfleet, dans le port de Hambourg.
Cet édifice fait partie des anciens entrepôts de la Speicherstadt. Ces fameux entrepôts de briques rouges sont typiques de la Speicherstadt, une zone franche créée après que Hambourg, qui avait adhéré à la ligue hanséatique en 1321, eut rejoint la Fédération des douanes allemandes. Tout un quartier fut détruit autour du Zollkanal pour y édifier, à partir de 1885, les entrepôts de la Speicherstadt. L'ensemble abrite aujourd'hui encore 373 000 m2 de précieuses marchandises. Avec ses rangées de bâtiments néogothiques en brique à pignons (19e siècle), la Speicherstadt constitue un quartier original, d'une grande unité architecturale. Nombre de bâtiments ont été réhabilités et reconvertis en musées. Le secteur a récemment été inscrit au patrimoine historique de la ville. L'ensemble abrite aujourd'hui encore 373 000 m2 de précieuses marchandises.
Deuxième ville d’Allemagne après Berlin et dotée d'un statut de Land, Hambourg (Hamburg) est l’un des plus grands ports du monde. Elle a d'ailleurs été fondée au 9e siècle à l'embouchure de la rivière Alster qui lui servait de port. L'Alster fut endiguée dès 1190, à l'origine pour alimenter un moulin à eau. En 1235 un autre barrage a été construit pour une deuxième usine, ce qui transforma la rivière en lac. Elle doit son essor économique à l'autorisation de commercer sur l'Elbe accordée par l'empereur Frédéric Barberousse en 1189 et son adhésion à la ligue hanséatique en 1321. Cette cité-Etat fut détruite à plus de 80 % lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle fut par la suite reconstruite et représente aujourd’hui une métropole fort intéressante.
Ville très riche (avec un revenu par habitant le plus élevé d'Europe), capitale de l’édition et des médias en Allemagne, Hambourg se révèle surprenante. Parmi ses caractéristiques, on compte plus de 64 kilomètres de canaux (d'où son surnom de la Venise du Nord) et 2500 ponts, une réputation comme ville la plus verte du pays tout en étant un livre ouvert d'architecture contemporaine (dont on peut voir les déclinaisons à Neustadt et, plus encore, à Fleet Insel - îlot nouveau construit sur le canal) avec aussi un quartier de nuit très chaud…
