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.

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...

The crack in the structure - when you realize that what you thought was a reality, is ultimately just a reasonably well-made fake
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!) ;)
We are going to visit the castle in Malbork :)
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.

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.

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…
Near Beverly Kansas. I am standing in Lincoln County to make the shot, but the old school is just across the line in Ottawa County.

Cattle Depot Artist Village is located on 63 Ma Tau Kok Road, Ma Tau Kok, Hong Kong. The site was originally used as a slaughterhouse from 1908 to 1999. It was renovated and developed into a village for artists in 2001. It is now home to around 20 art groups. … was built in 1908. It was owned by the government and was used as a cattle quarantine and slaughter centre for more than 90 years… In 1999, the old Ma Tau Kok Cattle Depot was finally closed down due to expressed concerns by the neighbouring residents about hygiene problems deriving from a slaughterhouse in the urban area… Built in 1907-08, elements of Western architecture are found. The site was made up of 5 blocks of distinctive red-brick buildings, offering a total space of 15,000 square metres (160,000 sq ft). It has pointed roof with tiles. It is the only remaining cattle depot in Hong Kong built before World War I. Listed as a Grade III historical site in 1994, it was upgraded to Grade II in 2009.

The Old Grammar School (built in 1851) was the first high school in Peel County. It served the Township of Toronto, parts of Halton County and Etobicoke. The building was used for a school for over 100 years. In 1966 it became Streetsville Town Hall and in 1974, a Police Station.
The building currently hosts Streetsville Kinsmen Senior Citizens' Centre.

Winter
An abandoned factory makes for a cool spot to gather some moody shots. I liked the patina and redbrick combo and as I walked by it continued to grab my attention. Beaten up, boarded up, forgotten but with so much moody soul and atmosphere left behind. I was too scared to go inside though. Ghosts ya know...everywhere in this country.

I visited Ripon for just one night in March 2025, I’ve not been there for over 20 years and had been warned that it “had gone downhill in recent years”. I’m not sure I can agree with that statement, I found the town quite vibrant with plenty going on for both locals and tourists. Like many U.K. towns it obviously had some problems but it was still a place I would recommend to visit.
Day 98/365: 2015
The weekly theme is giving the mundane it's beautiful due.
This wall, at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, is part of a Victorian kitchen garden. The holes are from where the fruit trees were supported by nails.
I met Darryl in the neighborhood, and this is exactly how I first saw him. When I introduced myself and asked if I could get a picture, he spoke so softly that I had to ask him three times. I know I'm getting older, but my hearing isn't THAT bad.
(and to my fellow 365ers, those that are left, if anyone wants to still do the weekly topic, I'll put one up in the discussions)
And one more shout out to my fellow 365ers…98 days to go! The countdown has begun!
