Prescott Lighthouse
A redbrick building, constructed along the waterfront in Prescott in 1900 by the Imperial Starch Company, served as a Dominion Lighthouse Depot from 1903 to 1985. During World War II, war materials were manufactured in the building. The Canadian Coast Guard occupied the building in 1962 but moved into a new facility in 1985, and the old lighthouse depot was demolished in 1986.
An oversized lantern room that was mounted atop the lighthouse depot and used to train lighthouse keepers was retained and placed atop a tower built by the local Rotary Club at the harbour in 1989. The base of the modern tower is home to an ice cream shop during the summer, and visitors were allowed to climb the tower and admire a Fresnel Lens for some time, but due to a change in building codes climbing to the top is no longer permitted.
Since 2003, the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival has been presenting plays in an outdoor amphitheater near the harbour in July and August.

Light glorifies everything. It transforms and ennobles the most commonplace and ordinary subjects. The object is nothing; light is everything.

On 161 Henry St,the northwest corner of Pierrepont Place,Schneider and Hueter (architects of the building) developed a Beaux-Arts style (a fine arts style,categorized by the historical forms and rich decorative detail) apartment building in 1906.9-stories high,161 Henry St has a rustic limestone base with a red brick and limestone trim including quoins (the angled masonry blocks at the corners) above it.Particularly distinguishing is its mansard crown and eight massive limestone brackets (count them) at the seventh floor Pierrepont Place side and seventeen brackets facing Henry St.While Beaux-Arts wasn't a popular style of the time,the distinguish nature of this building stands above the bland architecture of the modern period adding to the beauty that architects have developed in Brooklyn Heights since it's formation.Amen to that!-Architecture in Brooklyn Heights macaulay.cuny.edu

One of the towers in the castle in Czersk, seen from the courtyard.
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.

Jedna z wież zamkowych w Czersku widziana od strony dziedzińca.
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.
It was a beautiful day last Sunday and while out walking the dogs this lovely Victorian style house caught my eye . . . initially I loved the shadows created by the lovely patterned iron work but I also loved all of the rich Autumn reds . . . a perfect pairing for this warming cappuccino who's grey cup and saucer just happened to match the door and window frame here beautifully!

Norman Manor House
You enter the Manor House by the original low door into the undercroft, it is on the ground floor and is all Norman, there are massive round pillars with water flower capitals supporting the vaulted ceiling.
On one of the pillars are nine small holes in a square, which may be the peg holes for the game Nine Men’s Morris, a strategy board game for two players dating at least to the Roman Empire. The undercroft would have been used for storage and may also have provided sleeping and living quarters for the servants.
Thank you for,your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
University of the Pacific (Pacific or UOP) is a private Methodist-affiliated university with its main campus in Stockton, California, and graduate campuses in San Francisco and Sacramento. It claims to be California's first university, the first independent coeducational campus in California, and the first conservatory of music and first medical school on the West Coast.
The Stockton Campus, featuring a tower, rose gardens, architectural columns, brick-faced buildings, and numerous trees, has been used in Hollywood films, due to its aesthetic likeness to East Coast Ivy League universities: High Time, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Sure Thing, Dead Man on Campus, All the Kings Men, Flubber (film), and Dreamscape, among others. Part of Disney's 1973 film The World's Greatest Athlete was also shot at Pacific.
Pacific was chartered on July 10, 1851, in Santa Clara, California, under the name California Wesleyan College. The school moved to San Jose in 1871 and then to Stockton in 1923. Pacific is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission. In addition to its liberal arts college and graduate school, Pacific has schools of business, dentistry, education, engineering, international studies, law, music, pharmacy, and health sciences.
It is home to the papers of environmental pioneer John Muir in Pacific's Holt-Atherton Special Collections and Archives. The university also has a John Muir Center that hosts a Muir Symposium to encourage the use of John Muir's Papers. At Pacific's William Knox Holt Memorial Library, there is a museum style presentational space for Muir's Papers. The Muir Experience has on display physical and digital exhibits to inspire user interaction with Muir's work.

And quite a few others that I can't think of at the moment. You guys inspire me but I can't take good architecture pics worth a shit. I just don't have that "thing" that makes them look so cool. Can I blame it on my camera?
So I guess you'll just have to let me keep faving yours ;-)
