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."

Standing sentinel above the slow‑moving Ouse, the Riverside Water Tower (Grade II listed) rises like a quiet relic of Victorian ingenuity—brick‑built, steadfast, and touched by the weathering of centuries. Once the unseen heart of Beningbrough’s estate life, it gathered and lifted river water to feed the Hall’s gardens, kitchens, and daily rhythms, its machinery humming where now only wind and rooks keep company. Today it feels more like a watchtower of memory, a lone keeper of stories, holding its posture against the sky as if listening for the echo of horses on gravel and gardeners calling across the grounds. In its stillness, it turns utility into poetry, a red‑brick monolith softened by time, river light, and the quiet dignity of endurance.

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"

L’aile sud 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.
Cette façade de style Tudor rappelle la première phase d’agrandissement, commandée par Henri VIII au 16e siècle, de ce château qui, une fois entré dans le domaine royal en 1528, a connu deux grandes campagnes d’agrandissement. On remarque, près de cette aile qui jouxte la Tamise, un immense arbre rempli de nombreuses et énormes boules de gui (Viscum album), une espèce de plantes parasites qui ne possède pas de racines mais se fixe sur un arbre hôte dont elle absorbe la sève à travers un ou des suçoirs.
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.

Part of Tatton Park in Cheshire, this unassuming but rather large cottage sits at the edge of the walled garden, presumably used by the head gardener?

A Grade I listed building -
"From Historic England: Built 1495 by Archdeacon Pykenham a former rector. Very fine example of late C15 brickwork. It was originally the gatehouse to the Archdeacon's house (demolished early C19). It is of red brick with black diapering"
Hadleigh has many claims to English historical importance.
According to wikipedia, Wat Tyler, before leading the peasants' revolt, lived in the town for 20 years working as a tiler.
It is another place to visit for well preserved older buildings, as it was another town that grew from its involvement in the wool and weaving industries during medieval times.

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)

Fall in Union Park in the South End of Boston. Shot with Sony a6000 & Sigma 19mm lens, and processed in Lightroom. I posted a version of this photo awhile ago, but in this one I have emphasized more the bright colors and the contrast between the red brick and yellow leaves. You can see both versions side by side in my post processing comparisons album.
This is some random shot probably in Hamilton ON. I like the city of Hamilton. It has so many different looks.
I find the open sign annoying .... gall darn it.

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.
