Marquette Harbor Light, completed in 1866, sits atop a rocky point on the south shore of Lake Superior. This lighthouse replaced the original structure that was built in 1853 to support iron ore shipping. It is still an active, automated light.
The day we visited, the light station was still a part of a U.S. Coast Guard base. Two weeks later, coinciding with its 150th anniversary, the lighthouse deed was transferred by the Coast Guard to the city of Marquette..

81-87 State Street...Binghamton New York
The earliest building on site was a tannery in 1821. There was a canal on State Street that was filled-in around 1873. Kent was a cigar manufacturer. This building was built in 1888-9. The building is named for F.H. Stephens who had a jobbing warehouse of paper and stationary. He provided office supplies, school books and supplies, wrapping papers, building and roofing papers, news and printing papers, twines and party papers and restaurant supplies. They also has wallpaper and window shades. Stephens was mayor from 1889-1890. At one time the building had a bowling alley, pool hall, Masonic Lodge (#83) and hotel.
It seems like the stage is set here. An interesting combination of some fun things. One day i will get a better shot of the toys inside the window.
Happy Window Wednesday
There are so many questions I have about the world. The universe, not so much. The things we keep simple sometimes become complicated and vice versa.

Road tunnel. Dated 1823. By William Chambers. Gault brick in Flemish bond to
entrances; Redbrick in stretcher bond to tunnel. south entrance: tall round
archway with two stages of blind, 5-bay, round-arched arcading over the lower
stage with datestone to centre; flanking buttresses with ashlar offsets at each
stage; embattled parapet with pitched ashlar coping. North entrance similar,
but because it is at the higher end of the sloping tunnel the archway is shorter
and above it is only one stage of arcading; no parapet, but red-brick coping.
Tunnel: a blind segmental-arched arcade to each side with doorways to former
chambers (mostly blocked); barrel vault.
Chambers was Surveyor to Lord Sommers, through whose grounds this tunnel was
built.
“I am a dreamer. I know so little of real life that I just can’t help re-living such moments as these in my dreams, for such moments are something I have very rarely experienced. I am going to dream about you the whole night, the whole week, the whole year.”

MEMORY LOVES YOU – SOPHIE ZELMANI
In dappled sunlight I look across
the lane; the red bricks; window panes
the fences that are inbetween
the hedges; fledglings sing their songs
I feel at peace where I belong
deep in the countryside where time
stands still; where timeless rural scenes of mine
and all those folk who walked before
who trod this ground; this earthy core
of my existence; golden hours
the endless; frameless; bowls of flowers
valleys; fields and silent witnesses
sheep as quiet as ancient tombs
the coolness of the stone church floors
that balm my soul and heal my wounds
I never heard such silent sheep
but they are quiet because they sleep
in blessed peace where no-one shouts
no cars that roar; no roundabouts
the curving; winding country lanes
the turning seasons; weather vanes
the spinning; whirling winds of change
don't linger here; all stays the same
and I am fortunate to be here
to stand; to sit; to meditate
I hear a distant church bell calling
not yet for me; it's not my fate
the biggest, tallest daisies grow here
the fertile soil; the sweetest toil
let meadows; lush, green natural carpet
roll out around and down the hill
meadowsweet and warbling willows
hidden in the canopies
birds of all kinds make their homes here
their world above my head in trees
thick with foliage beneath sheltered skies
here lies the truth; no place for lies
I close my eyes and listen intently
the subtlety of nature's sounds
the heartbeat of the world contentedly
thrums soft rhythms beneath the clouds
I can feel the sweet vibrations
beneath my feet and warmly spread
through my veins and warm my bones
root me; save me; fill my head
with dreams of always living in this moment
one repetition I wouldn't mind
for Heaven exists in moments like this
brings hope to my heart; to my soul; divine.

This is the Key West Art and History Museum at the Custom House. The 1891 building, designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style, originally served as a United States Customs House, courthouse and post office.
Henry Hobson Richardson (1836-1886) was a prominent American architect who created a Romanesque Revival style that was used by numerous other architects. Two links are given below for more information about this style of architecture.

"Time for Fun" is the title of the 25-foot tall sculpture of the dancing couple in front of the building.
UPDATE: "Time for Fun" is no longer at the Custom House. Another J. Seward Johnson (sculptor of "Time for Fun") will be displayed at the Custom House. I have not been able to find out where "Time for Fun" went. (Thank you Valerie, ucamari photography , for the tip)

So this is not my normal thing and probably the first and only time you will see one of these from me but I had to give it a go! Was very unsure on if I should even put it up but hey its all about the journey right!
So here is my attempt at "minimalist repetition". I was on a boat on the Thames and noticed this apartment block, The bright blue steel of the balconies and the absolute repetitive structure of linear lines vertically and horizontally. This is then broken by the white walls and the curved metal beams that run vertically downwards. The blue gutter on the left was out of place but added a non uniform element to the scene I thought.
Was quite fascinating so had to at least give it a go. This is definitely what I would call my "marmite" shot.

St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow, Russia, was built by Ivan the Terrible between 1555 and 1561. According to legend, the builder of this cathedral was blinded so that such a beautiful structure could never be built again. The cathedral is vividly colorful and contains redbrick towers that add to its beauty. The church’s design consists of nine chapels, each mounted with its individual dome that marks the assault on the city of Kazan.
Red Brick Wall......
The Distillery district is a group of historic buildings re-purposed to attract the younger generation. amidst all the concrete and red sand brick i found this shot of the old sand brick wall with the small beer keg door really caught my eye.. our walk through the distillery district was full of surprises as the artwork is very unique and well worth the trip downtown.
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

Finally some snow. The red smokestack defines the old pump station of the Cincinnati Water Works. Big bend in the Ohio River at center right. Almost 30% of the city's snow plow operators off from work due to Covid.
Of course I do not exactly remember where this was taken. I am thinking Hamilton, but I could be wrong. I thought all these windows looked cool.
Happy Window Wednesday
Les entrepôts de la Speicherstadt bordant le canal Kehrwiederfleet dans la cité-État d’Hambourg (Hamburg), en Allemagne.
Une vue vers l’est à partir de la Kehrwiedersteg, une passerelle de bois piétonnière surélevée qui offre de magnifiques vues sur la cité portuaire d’Hambourg et qui ici relie les différents bassins et canaux du port.
Le canal Kehrwiederfleet est entièrement bordé des fameux entrepôts de briques rouges 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…
