I took this shot a couple of months ago in an old Mill Building which is owned by a family friend; I liked the pattern of the sun shining through the window on the floor. Before I walked around the Mill the friend said to be aware that there were spirits in the Mill; friendly ones that play pranks; of course I just laughed and assumed she was having a joke. As I left I told her that I had closed all doors that I had opened and left a couple of heavy duty fire doors open so that she could check them out later before she went home. Later that evening when I looked at my images this is one that I found, I swear that person was not in my picture as I took it; there is no hint of a shadow on floor. When I mentioned this to her and showed her this picture she just laughed and said “I told you, and by the way, all doors were open and the fire doors were closed and locked”. I won’t be going there again……!
Victoria Building, Liverpool University, by Alfred Waterhouse
High Victorian Gothic was an eclectic architectural style and movement during the mid-late 19th century.[1] It is seen by architectural historians as either a sub-style of the broader Gothic Revival style, or a separate style in its own right.[2]
Promoted and derived from the works of the architect and theorist John Ruskin, though it eventually diverged, it is sometimes referred to as Ruskinian Gothic.[3] It is characterised by the use of polychrome (multi-colour) decoration, "use of varying texture", and Gothic details.[4] The architectural scholar James Stevens Curl describes it thus: "Style of the somewhat harsh polychrome structures of the Gothic Revival in the 1850s and 1860s when Ruskin held sway as the arbiter of taste. Like High Gothic, it is an unsatisfactory term, as it poses the question as to what is 'Low Victorian'. 'Mid-Victorian' would, perhaps, be more useful, but precise dates and description of styles would be more so."

I get the opportunity to live in Los Angeles for two months, and I'm excited for all the photo ops that I can get! Here's the first one that I get to share!
Sturminster Marshall, Dorset UK.
White Mill is a National Trust Property.
An 18th-century corn mill in a peaceful, rural setting. Rebuilt in 1776 on a site marked in the Domesday Book, this substantial mill was extensively repaired in 1994 and still retains its original elm and applewood machinery (now too fragile to be used).
Two viaducts south of Montrose were designed by Sir Thomas Bouch, the architect of the original Tay Bridge but, due to delays in building the Tay Bridge and the line by Dundee, they were not built until 1879.[ Construction was by Gilkes Wilson and Company, supervised by Bouch's son, William. The more northerly bridge, the South Esk Viaduct, was of iron lattice girder construction.
Following the Tay Bridge disaster of 1879, the viaduct was inspected and, although the plans showed a straight structure, it was found to have a distinct curve. As well, many of the piers were not perpendicular. Tests in 1880, over a period of 36 hours, using both dead and rolling loads, led to the structure becoming seriously distorted, and eight of the piers were declared unsafe. Before the line could be opened to traffic in 1881, the bridge had to be dismantled and rebuilt by Sir William Arrol, to a design by W. R. Galbrait
Butt of Lewis Lighthouse, designed by David Stevenson, was built at Butt of Lewis to aid shipping in the 1860s. Unusual for a lighthouse in Scotland, it is constructed of red brick, and is unpainted. The station was automated in 1998, one of the last to be converted. A modern differential GPS base station has now been sited on a nearby hill to further aid navigation. This hill was also the site for a Lloyd's Signal Station from the 1890s.
The road to the lighthouse passes a sheltered cove called Port Stoth. Agricultural lazy beds are also visible along the coast. The Butt of Lewis features some of the oldest rocks in Europe, having been formed in the Precambrian period up to 3 billion years ago. Following the coast southwest from the lighthouse there is a natural arch called the "Eye of the Butt" (Scottish Gaelic: Toll a’ Ròigh). It can be best viewed from the Habost machair.
The Copper King Mansion, also known as the W. A. Clark Mansion, is a 34-room residence of Romanesque Revival Victorian architecture that was built from 1884 to 1888 as the Butte, Montana, residence of William Andrews Clark, one of Montana's three famous Copper Kings. The home features fresco painted ceilings, elegant parquets of rare imported wood, gas and electric chandeliers, ornate hand-carved fireplaces and stairways, and stained-glass windows. The mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. (70000366)
The Copper King Mansion has been privately owned, operated, and occupied by the Cote family since 1953. The home is operated as a bed and breakfast. Guided tours are available during the summer tourist season, or by appointment during the winter months. The home underwent restoration in 2012.
The building of the Copper King Mansion is described in the bestselling biography of Clark's daughter, Huguette, Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune by Bill Dedman and Paul Clark Newell, Jr. (Wikipedia)

The Wall Says It All...
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.
This scrawled sign on the wall details my tenet for photography... "see beauty in everything"
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

The small lighthouse in Ustka, Poland :)
The lighthouse is an obligatory part of every stroll around Ustka’s harbour. This small structure rises close by the harbour entrance, at the end of the promenade. It was built in 1892 as a tower near the pilot station building due to the great difficulty of navigation at the harbour entrance in Ustka in poor weather conditions. The lighthouse is 22.3 m high and has a range of 18 nautical miles.
Ustka is a town in the Middle Pomerania region of northwestern Poland. The first settlers arrived at Ustka as early as the 9th century, and established a fishing settlement with the original name of Ujść. The area at the mouth of the river Słupia was ceded to the town of Słupsk in 1337 with the purpose of building a fishing harbour and a commercial port there to the Baltic Sea. The town was given to Brandenburg-Prussia as part of the Duchy of Pomerania after the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. On August 1, 1945, the city became part of Poland with the agreement at the Potsdam Conference.
Ustka is a popular tourist destination and a fishing port on the south coasts of the Baltic. For a number of years, following the political changes in Poland, the town has won a string of local awards for the best summer place in the country. The most important monuments in the town: a lighthouse built in 1892, Main Post Office from 1875 and church from 1882.

Latarnia morska w Ustce :)
Latarnia morska to obowiązkowy punkt na trasie spaceru po usteckim porcie. Budynek latarni znajduje się w pobliżu wejścia do portu, na końcu spacerowej promenady. Latarnia została wybudowana w roku 1892, jako wieża przy budynku przeznaczonym na stację pilotową, z uwagi na bardzo dużą trudność żeglugi wejścia do portu w Ustce przy niesprzyjającej pogodzie. Latarnia ma wysokość 22,3m i zasięg światła 18mil morskich.
Ustka jest położona na Wybrzeżu Słowińskim, u ujścia rzeki Słupi do Morza Bałtyckiego. Jest miastem portowym, uzdrowiskiem z 2 letnimi kąpieliskami morskimi. Pierwsza informacja o istnieniu warowni w miejscu ujścia Słupi pochodzi z 1337r. W 1648 traktat pokojowy i dodatkowe uzgodnienia w 1653 przyporządkowały wschodnią część Pomorza Zachodniego, a więc i Ustkę, pod zwierzchnictwo Brandenburgii. Po II wojnie światowej Ustka została zwrócona Polsce na mocy postanowień konferencji poczdamskiej. Najważniejszymi zabytkami w mieście są: latarnia morska z 1892r., budynek poczty głównej z 1875r. oraz kościół z 1882r.
