The grand Harrods store, more than a century old, in London stands tall looking glorious and elite. Each alphabet of its name written in bold on this historic building with ostentatious lights oozing of its pompous style. A must visit for all people visiting London especially the Shopaholics.

Square pixelated picture of a smiling face painted on a wall in Bowden.
Part of an art project by artist Peter Drew in random locations across Adelaide. “It’s a very simply image made up of pixels making a smile with three colours."
Some of the houses in Dursley provide a redbrick foregound to the Severn Vale in the distance, with the Forest of Dean and the Welsh Mountains receding into the distance.

The castle in Malbork seen from the other side. We are going to the castle museum now :)
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.

It was a very dull day on Saturday and nothing looked good, then I saw this old but colourful brick wall so took a quick shot.
La Great Gatehouse (Grande Guérite), l’entrée principale au centre de la façade ouest du château de Hampton Court, Hampton Court Way, East Molessey, l'arrondissement londonien de Richmond upon Thames, Angleterre. Une vue à partir de l’entrée principale du domaine.
La construction de cette entrée, partie la plus ancienne du château, fut commencé par le cardinal Wolsey et achevé par Henri VIII. Elle fait partie de la tour de garde et est dominée par un haut-relief comportant les armes d’Henri VIII. Deux haies de ces mêmes animaux héraldiques bordent d’ailleurs le pont jeté au-dessus des douves et menant à la Grande Guérite.
À l’origine, ces dix statues surnommées King's Beasts représentaient l'ascendance du roi Henri VIII et de sa troisième épouse Jane Seymour, soient le lion d'Angleterre, le lion Seymour, le dragon royal, le taureau noir de Clarence, le yale de Beaufort, le lion blanc de Mortimer, le lévrier blanc de Richmond, le dragon Tudor, la panthère Seymour et le Licorne Seymour. Au moment du couronnement de la reine Elizabeth II, les Queens Beasts, soient le griffon d'Edouard III, le cheval de Hanovre, le faucon des Plantagenêts et la licorne d'Écosse, ont remplacé ceux des Seymour et l'un des dragons.
Situé au sud-ouest du Grand Londres, proche de la frontière avec le comté de Surrey en Angleterre, ce château fut la résidence favorite du roi Henri VIII. Pendant près de 200 ans, le château de Hampton Court a été au centre de la cour royale, de la politique, ainsi que l'histoire de la nation.
En 1518, le cardinal Thomas Wolsey (v. 1475-1530) devient archevêque d'York et choisit Hampton Court comme sa résidence principale. En 1523, Wolsey finit la construction des appartements d'Henri VIII (1509-1547) mais trois ans plus tard, tombé en disgrâce, il est forcé d'abandonner sa propriété au roi. Le fils unique du roi, Édouard, le futur Édouard VI d'Angleterre, naît à Hampton Court en 1537, et est baptisé dans la chapelle église royale. Sa mère, Jeanne Seymour, meurt au palais quelques jours plus tard.
En 1649, le roi Charles Ier, fait prisonnier par l'armée d'Oliver Cromwell, est amené à Hampton Court. En 1657, Oliver Cromwell est proclamé Lord Protecteur de la république d'Angleterre, d'Irlande et d'Écosse et vient habiter à Hampton Court.
En 1689, le roi Guillaume III, et sa reine, Marie II, ordonnent à Sir Christopher Wren de construire un nouveau palais aux façades palladiennes décorées de style baroque. En 1717, le prince et la princesse de Galles (futurs roi George II et reine Caroline) viennent s'installer à Hampton Court et ordonnent des travaux pour aménager leurs appartements. Ils sont les derniers souverains à y habiter.
En 1838, la reine Victoria ouvre au public le château de Hampton Court, aujourd’hui palais d'État, rempli de nombreuses merveilles (tableaux, sculptures, etc.) mais aussi extrêmement riche en culture.
We were out roaming the countryside yesterday evening and ran across this really well maintained brick school building at an area called Five Points. The stone above the top windows is dated 1876. Apparently there are activities held throughout the year and they have a Facebook page.
Behind a large historical house at the Ohio River city of Warsaw, Kentucky. Cooking in this kitchen kept one from heating the house, more, during the summer.
Yes, spring is now well and truly in the air, as winter in Melbourne fades into memory... almost... and there have been days of glorious sunshine and blue skies.
On one such sunny, blue sky day I went for an afternoon stroll. Whilst on the walk, my eye was caught by this wonderful mauve rose bloom, reaching up to the sun, exposing a wonderful cluster of petals. I am not sure what variety it is, but the rose has a light, sweet fragrance, which I think suits this magnificent mauve beauty!

The Octagon Building is an historic redbrick octagonal building in Santa Cruz, California, located at 118 Cooper Street, at the corner of Front Street. It was built in 1882, adjacent to the first (1866) County Court House, to serve as the County Hall of Records. In 1894, a major fire destroyed most of the nearby buildings, including the adjacent courthouse, but the brick Octagon survived.
In 1968, the records were moved to a new County Government Center. Many historic brick buildings on the Pacific Garden Mall were damaged during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, but again the Octagon survive
