Station 10, completed in 2008, is also known as the "Maurice Gates Firehouse", and colloquially as "Tens" as it houses Engine 10, Ladder 10, and Medic 10. Its firefighters are nicknamed the "River Rats", as most Columbus fire stations have nicknames or mascots. The river rat theme alludes to the many floods, including the Great Flood of 1913, that plagued the area until a floodwall was constructed between Franklinton and the nearby Scioto River. Wikipedia

Not sure what's going on with the upturned empty Dr. Pepper soda bottles, the others and CD"s but hey it's not my window :) HWW!

Puerto Madero is a revamped dockside area. Its converted redbrick buildings contain upscale steakhouses popular with tourists and business lunchers. Sleek skyscrapers house multinational corporations and high-value apartments. Trails loop around several lakes at the wildlife-rich Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve, which draws families and joggers. Spanning the docks, Puente de la Mujer is a graceful suspension bridge.
The BC Copper Company smelter began operation at Greenwood BC in 1901, servicing ore from the Mother Lode Mine and other mines in the area. By 1910 the boom had passed and Greenwood's population was 1,500. At the end of WWI, the demand for copper dropped, and by 1918 the copper market was dead and the smelter in Greenwood lay idle. The following year it closed down permanently. Unlike many of its late brethren, this smelter has left behind a few reminders of its heyday, the main one being this 210 foot tall smokestack. In its lifetime, however, the smelter made quite a stir, spawning the City of Greenwood, which grew to a population of over 3,000 at its peak, then as quickly imploded to as few as 200 citizens soon after the smelter closed. Greenwood was incorporated as a city in 1897 and remains a city - the smallest in Canada, both in population and area - now with a population of less than 700.
The DeSoto County Courthouse is an historic redbrick courthouse building located at 115 East Oak Street in Arcadia, Florida. Designed by architects Bonfoey & Elliott of Tampa in the Classical Revival style, it was built in 1912-1913 by the Read-Parker Construction Company to serve as DeSoto County's third courthouse and the second one built in Arcadia. It was restored in 1976 and is a contributing property in the Arcadia Historic District.
The building was designed by the Tampa architectural firm of Bonfoey & Elliott. In 1989, the DeSoto County Courthouse was listed in A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture, published by the University of Florida Press.

A very pretty eclectic building in pride of place in Wigan town centre. Its on the corner of Market street and the so called Market place (even though the Wigan market has never been placed there!)
The building dates to 1904 and has an amazing mixture of Edwardian Baroque and 16th century vernacular styles.
The building seems to age progressively as you look up! with a rather plain and ugly modern shopfront, the lovely Edwardian baroque second floor and the 16th century style 3rd floor!
The building is constructed out of Accrington Red brick in an "English garden wall" bond with sandstone dressings and some timber framing, all under a red tiled roof. It is also English Heritage Grade II listed.
These late-19th century buildings on the east side of Sloane Square in London feature interesting Dutch-style gables. The overall façades comprise terracotta or (on the left) redbrick with painted stonework.
According to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s Conservation Area Appraisal, what we see here is ‘an exquisite specimen of the Queen Anne Revival and Pont Street Dutch architectural movements that completely transformed this part of London’. It's known colloqually as the Colbert Building, a reference to the ground floor brasserie of the same name.

Designed by Jesse Hartley, Stanley Dock opened on 4 August 1848. The dock is the only one in Liverpool which was built inland, all the others being built out from the foreshore. The original quay warehouses are of a similar design to those at Albert Dock and are grade II* listed buildings. The warehouses were built to five storeys, covering an area of 12,000 sq yd (10,000 m2). Between 1897-1901, the southern part of the dock was filled in to build the large Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse by Anthony George Lyster. The northern warehouse has since been developed in to a hotel devoted to the White Star Line's RMS Titanic liner, which has strong links to the area's history of docks and shipping.
Its stare fixed on the coffee shop door through which its owner had disappeared, this dog sat patiently for at least 15 minutes before I left, not sure how long it had to wait.

The last photo from the castle in Czerrsk. This time is a view from the cylindrical tower on the gate tower :)
Czersk is a small town, 39 km from the center of Warsaw, in Piaseczno County. Czersk’s main tourist attraction is its medieval brick castle which was built on a hill between 1398 and 1406 for the Mazovia Prince - Janusz I. It had three towers and curtains which were 8 meters high and almost 2 meters thick. Czersk became the capital of the Mazovian Duchy due to its significant settlement along the Vistula river. Queen Bona Sforza, among others, lived in the castle.
In the 15th century, however, the Vistula river shifted its bed, moving away from Czersk. As a consequence the site fell into obscurity and the castle began to decay. During the war with the Swedes, in 1656, the castle became partly ruined. The retreating land army, close to Warta, under Stefan Czarniecki's command had captured the stronghold and had devastated it. The castle went through a reconstruction between 1762–1766, when Marszałek Franciszek Bieliński had commanded the reconstruction of the stronghold. However, due to the Prussian Partition, the Prussian leader had ordered for the demolition of the castle's defense walls, reducing the stronghold's military importance. From that time, nobody had every again took on the reconstruction of the castle. From the once mighty stronghold, all of the towers; a brick bridge from the eighteenth century; and the north and east wing of the castle had all survived. Today the castle ruins and the pituresque village have become tourist attractions. The towers were recently renovated and there is a fantastic view of the Vistula River valley from their terraces.

Ostatnie zdjęcie z ruin zamku w Czersku - widok z cylindrycznej wieży zamkowej na wieżę bramną :)
Czersk- dawne miasto, obecnie wieś w gminie Góra Kalwaria w powiecie piaseczyńskim. Jedno z najstarszych miast na Mazowszu i stolica jednego z księstw dzielnicowych. Miasto założone przed 1350 rokiem. Miejsce obrad sejmików ziemskich ziemi czerskiej od XVI wieku do pierwszej połowy XVIII wieku. Obecnie Czersk znany jest głównie z ruin średniowiecznego zamku książąt mazowieckich, które są główną atrakcją turystyczną tej małej miejscowości i równocześnie jednym z najcenniejszych zabytków na Mazowszu. W XI wieku w miejscu dzisiejszego zamku istniał drewniano ziemny gród o konstrukcji izbicowej, który został zbudowany w czasach panowania Bolesława Śmiałego lub Władysława Hermana. W XIV wieku książę mazowiecki Janusz I, rozkazał w miejscu przestarzałego grodu zbudować ceglany zamek, który powstał w latach 1388 - 1410. Była to jedna z najważniejszych rezydencji księcia Janusza I, który zmarł na tym zamku w dniu 8 grudnia 1429 roku. Gdy tereny te zostały przyłączone do Królestwa Polskiego w 1526 roku, zamek stał się własnością królewską. W tym też okresie nadbudowano cylindryczne wieże. Od 1547 roku zamek podlegał królowej Bonie, która nakazała wymianę drewnianej zabudowy dziedzińca na murowaną. W czasie Potopu szwedzkiego, w 1656 roku, zamek w Czersku doznał bardzo poważnego uszczerbku, zaś po III rozbiorze Polski i objęciu Czerska przez Prusaków mury zostały częściowo zburzone. Od tego czasu zamek jest zrujnowany. Do dzisiaj zachowana jest większość murów zamku oraz wszystkie trzy wieże (Brama, Południowa i Zachodnia), z których można podziwiać panoramę okolicy. Obecnie ruiny zamku udostępnione są zwiedzającym.
The ruins of a medieval gotic castle built by the Teutonic Knights in 14-th century. In 1772 Radzyn troved under prussian authority. From that moment started successive demolition of the fortress, it's bricks were assigned to built new houses and town hall. In 1837, works were hold up. In sixtiests of XIX century the castle was secured, 100 years later curtains were restored and now there is museum.
I like this castle a lot. Inside is many place for walking and, of course, beautiful view from the tower :))
Zamek zaskoczył mnie pozytywnie. W środku jest więcej miejsc do połażenia, niż by to się mogło wydawać. Korytarze, rozmaite przejścia i zaułki, a na wieżę włazi się przejściem wysokości metra (a nawet mniej, bo w kucki trzeba) i jest tam dosyć ciasno. Ale warto, bo widoczki ładne :))
