Le restaurant Fleetschlösschen est situé au Brooktorkai 17, quartier Brooktorkay, dans la cité-État d’Hambourg (Hamburg), en Allemagne.
Ce charmant petit édifice, semblable à une petite chapelle est situé près du Sankt Annen Brücke. Il a été construit à la fin du 19e siècle dans le style néogothique typique de la Speicherstadt (littéralement « ville des entrepôts »). A cette époque, la zone appartenait au port franc et donc à la zone douanière. Le Fleetschlösschen servait donc initialement de bâtiment de service aux douanes pour contrôler les barges et enregistrer les marchandises transportées des grands voiliers jusqu'aux entrepôts des commerçants.
Lorsque la majeure partie du port a été déplacée vers la rive sud de l'Elbe, l’édifice a été utilisé par les pompiers de Hambourg comme caserne de pompiers. Plus tard, le bâtiment a servi d'abord de toilettes, puis de café pour les dockers. Depuis 2004, le bâtiment est utilisé comme restaurant gastronomique.
Deuxième ville d’Allemagne après Berlin et dotée d'un statut de Land, Hambourg (Hamburg) est l’un des plus grands ports du monde. Elle a d'ailleurs été fondée au 9e siècle à l'embouchure de la rivière Alster qui lui servait de port. L'Alster fut endiguée dès 1190, à l'origine pour alimenter un moulin à eau. En 1235 un autre barrage a été construit pour une deuxième usine, ce qui transforma la rivière en lac. Elle doit son essor économique à l'autorisation de commercer sur l'Elbe accordée par l'empereur Frédéric Barberousse en 1189 et son adhésion à la ligue hanséatique en 1321. Cette cité-Etat fut détruite à plus de 80 % lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle fut par la suite reconstruite et représente aujourd’hui une métropole fort intéressante.
Ville très riche (avec un revenu par habitant le plus élevé d'Europe), capitale de l’édition et des médias en Allemagne, Hambourg se révèle surprenante. Parmi ses caractéristiques, on compte plus de 64 kilomètres de canaux (d'où son surnom de la Venise du Nord) et 2500 ponts, une réputation comme ville la plus verte du pays tout en étant un livre ouvert d'architecture contemporaine (dont on peut voir les déclinaisons à Neustadt et, plus encore, à Fleet Insel - îlot nouveau construit sur le canal) avec aussi un quartier de nuit très chaud…
Narrow alley in The Old Town in Elbląg :)
The Church Path - narrow passage between houses on The Old Town called “Church Path” due to the fact it connected three churches: the Holy Ghost hospital, the parish church of St. Nicholas, and the church of the Holiest Virgin Mary. After the Second World War, survived only section Connecting Świętego Ducha (Holy Ghost) and Mostowa streets. The surviving fragment of the path is one of the few original medieval elements that has been preserved in the Old Town of Elbląg.
Elbląg is a city in northern Poland on the eastern edge of the Żuławy region. Elbląg is one of the oldest cities in the province. Its history dates back to 1237, when the Teutonic Order constructed their fortified stronghold on the banks of a nearby river. The castle subsequently served as the official seat of the Teutonic Order Masters. The city was transferred to Prussia after the first partition of Poland in 1772. After World War II the city again became part of Poland. Today, Elbląg is a vibrant city with an attractive tourist base. It serves as an academic and financial center and among its numerous historic monuments is the Market Gate from 1309 and St. Nicholas Cathedral. Elbląg is also known for its archaeological sites, museums and the largest brewery in the country.

Wąskie przejście pomiędzy murami na starówce w Elblągu zwane "Ścieżką kościelną" :)
Ścieżka kościelna w Elblągu – wąskie przejście między kamienicami w Elblągu, łączące trzy kościoły Starego Miasta. Stanowiła najszybszą i najkrótszą drogę pomiędzy nimi, stąd też jej nazwa. Prowadziła ona od kościoła św. Ducha, przebiegała przy kościele św. Mikołaja i kończyła się przed bramą podominikańskiego klasztoru NMP. Po II wojnie światowej ocalał tylko odcinek łączący ulice Świętego Ducha i Mostową. Ocalały fragment Ścieżki kościelnej stanowi jeden z nielicznych, oryginalnych elementów średniowiecznych, który zachował się na elbląskim Starym Mieście.
Elbląg – miasto na prawach powiatu w województwie warmińsko-mazurskim. Jedno z najstarszych w Polsce (rok założenia 1237, kiedy to Krzyżacy pod dowództwem Hermanna von Balka wybudowali na wyspie u ujścia rzeki Elbląg niewielki drewniano-ziemny gródek, prawa miejskie nadane w 1246). Miasto posiadało prawo do czynnego uczestnictwa w akcie wyboru króla. Podczas I rozbioru Polski w 1772 Elbląg znalazł się pod zaborem pruskim, a od 1815 do 1920 Elbląg należał do rejencji gdańskiej w pruskiej prowincji Prusy Zachodnie. Po I wojnie światowej Elbląg znalazł się w prowincji Prusy Wschodnie, zaś po II wojnie światowej miasto ponownie znalazło się w granicach państwa polskiego. Elbląg to najniżej położone miasto w Polsce. Leży u ujścia rzeki Elbląg do Zalewu Wiślanego.
A picture of a building drawn on the wall of that very same building so you won't get confused if this is a building you are looking for.
Taken with an iPhone.
The Queen Anne-style building, at 303 7th Street, N.W., was completed in 1882. The building is in a restrained look, a colorful red-brick exterior with a golden cupola and dome. The structure was built to fit into the corner created by Indiana Avenue and 7th Street. The Fireman's Insurance Company owned the building through the 1950s.

Like many other places in the world, I suppose, Ohio weather keeps us guessing... and on our toes. With astrological summer still 10 days away, April showers have brought June flowers – and also the start of summer draught. I might make this same shot over the coming months to illustrate differences. These flowers are called evolvulus (blue) and calibrachoa (orange).
We are going to visit the castle in Malbork :)
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.

A little fixer-upper in Santa Rosa, California. It comes with its very own perching dove. Now if that isn't a good omen, I'm not sure what is.
A historic red brick building stands on a corner under a bright blue sky with fluffy clouds. Its detailed architecture is complemented by large windows and a sign reading "City Hall" in front.
Lindsborg, Kansas
I do not recall where this was taken. I do like these building shots from the corner point of view.

The biggest church in my hometown lit by the afternoon sun, seen from the workers' housing estate.
Holy Mother of consolation Parish Church - It's the biggest church in town. It was founded by the Sobański Family and Karol Dittrich and built from 1900 to 1903. It was designed in neogothic style and it's standing on the central square of my hometown. The church was patterned on Koln Basilica (eightfold lowered) and it has two 70 meters tall towers. The interior is decorated with the flowery motifs of stain glass windows made by Franciszek Białkowski according to the design attributed to Józef Mehoffer. The church furnishings refer to the gothic style.

Największy kościół w Żyrardowie oświetlony popołudniowym słońcem, widziany z terenu dawnego osiedla domów robotniczych.
Kościół Farny pw. Matki Bożej Pocieszenia - zbudowany w centrum miasta, w latach 1900 - 1903 z fundacji rodziny Sobańskich i Karola Dittricha. Zaprojektowany przez Józefa Piusa Dziekońskiego w stylu neogotyckim. Kościół wzorowany był na bazylice w Kolonii (ośmiokrotnie pomniejszony), posiada dwie strzeliste 70-cio metrowe wieże. We wnętrzu znajdują się piękne secesyjne witraże przedstawiające kwiaty polskie (słoneczniki, maki, chabry, lilie, malwy i chryzantemy), wykonane w pracowni Franciszka Białkowskiego, prawdopodobnie według projektu Józefa Mehoffera. Wyposażenie kościoła utrzymane jest w stylu gotyckim.
A vibrant yellow door stands out against the red brick facade of a building, closely flanked by a more subdued white door and a small window. The wall above shows signs of wear, with some misaligned tiles hinting at the structure's age and weathering.

The stable block was originally home to around 25 animals and their carriages. Over time they housed cows and ponies as well as horses. As cars began to replace horses on the road in the early 20th century, the stables were converted into garages, storage spaces and a racquet court. Lord Stamford’s 1935 Morris Ten Four is on display to the public. The Stables Restaurant is also in the building.
The far building with the clock tower and weather vane is the Carriage Hall. In front of both these buildings is the mill pond with a sluice gate in the foreground. The working watermill is around 20 metres away behind me.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
The Hotel Boulderado is located at 13th and Spruce St. in downtown Boulder, Colorado. It opened its doors on New Year's Day 1909. The original 1908 Otis Elevator is still in operation.
As one of the first Boulder hotels, it is located in the heart of downtown. The hotel's name comes from the words "Boulder" and "Colorado" so no guest would forget where they had stayed. The hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. (#94001226)
Hotel Boulderado is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The Hotel Boulderado houses three restaurants. Located off of the main lobby are Spruce Farm and Fish, a fine-dining restaurant, and the Corner Bar, a more casual eatery. The basement contains a speakeasy-style bar, License No. 1, which recently replaced Catacombs. All three restaurants share a kitchen.
The Hotel Boulderado appears in Stephen King's novel Misery.
History
In 1905, Boulder was home to 8,000 residents, the University of Colorado, one of the Chautauqua cultural and educational resorts, and twenty-six automobiles. Residents called the city the "Athens of the West." As a new-forged railroad hub, the city did have some hotels to accommodate visitors, but in December 1905, the city council launched the "hotel proposition," furthered by the Boulder newspaper, the Daily Camera. Committees from Boulder's Commercial Association raised funds in the form of $100 subscriptions, and the Boulder Hotel Company was formed, which owned the hotel until 1939.
The hotel was opened with a Gala Ball on New Year's Eve of 1908. The first guests checked in on New Years Day, 1909. The first guest register is still on display in the main lobby, and the modern hotel still commemorates their opening every year with a New Year's Eve Gala Ball, voted the #1 Place to Celebrate New Year's Eve by Downtown Boulder readers.
Ghost Sightings
It is said that Room 347 at Hotel Boulderado is haunted and has had many ghost sightings throughout the years. Many guests have complained that the water has turned on sporadically throughout the night.

This house, along with the Conover Barn, sits with the Britannia Schoolhouse and Farmhouse on 200 acres in the middle of the City of Mississauga. The property was given to the Board of Education in the 1830's as a farm which would produce enough revenue to keep the school going. It's amazing the school board has been able to hold on to the property at a time when values are skyrocketing. The land and buildings are now used as an Educational Field Centre with a variety of programs to teach children about cultural, agricultural and ecological heritage.
I drive by it all the time and am continually astonished that such a property exists in an urban/suburban area. There are apartment buildings, office towers, stores and masses of houses surrounding this heritage oasis.
So I've tried photographing this many times but each time I would get home, look at the pictures and recognize that something just wasn't right. It finally occurred to me that the house generally appears 'dead'. It's not lived in nor is it often open to the public so the pictures always looked lifeless .....even if the light was good.
On the day I shot this, I was headed down to the lakeshore with my camera and for the first time I saw the door open as well as the truck parked to the side which gave the appearance of something happening. It looked alive and I just had to try again.
Now usually there's no way to stop on Hwy 10 to get a photograph and I knew by the time I found a place to put the car that door would probably be shut. However, on this particular day there was a police car in the right lane, red lights flashing, having stopped someone for some kind of traffic violation.
Instead of passing the officer, I pulled right in behind him, fired off a couple of shots (with the camera that is) and drove off quickly before he decided he was being gifted with a morning ticket bonanza.
As an aside, while I was reading about this property there was a history of Mississauga. I'm so used to the name I'd forgotten that the name comes from the peoples who originally inhabited this area.
