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..

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.

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.
Happy Window Wednesday

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.

Display of succulents in shade, against the background of a sunny ancient sandstone wall behind a wheelchair ramp. It was a lovely warm sunshiny day on the second day of spring.
Letterbox somewhere in the center of Amsterdam. Wonder what happens if you really do insert a coin :-)

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
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)

The student noticeboard in the cloisters, that looks the same as it did 35 years ago, where I found useful stuff like part-time jobs and accommodation. The difference is that the arched yellow doors used to lead to the On Dit university newspapers instead of the sports office.

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.
Medieval spiral staircase with 149 steps leading up to the battlements of Tattershall castle. Some of the graffiti etched on the walls are beautifully engraved and go back 400 years. Renovated in red brick by the Lord Treasurer of England Lord Cromwell, in the fifteenth century to showcase his wealth, one can only imagine the stories it has to tell through the ages.
