On a walk around the city to catch up on the earthquake rebuild. January 2018 Christchurch New Zealand.
Eight giant spray cans have taken up residency in central Christchurch as part of a plan to attract young people to the city centre.
The oversized cans on the corner of Manchester and Lichfield streets will be a canvas for street artists to test their wares. Three of them would be semi-permanent and were painted by street artists Jacob Yikes, Ikarus and Wongi Wilson.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wawel_Castle:
The Wawel Royal Castle and the Wawel Hill on which it sits constitute the most historically and culturally significant site in Poland. A fortified residency on the Vistula River in Kraków, it was established on the orders of King Casimir III the Great and enlarged over the centuries into a number of structures around an Italian-styled courtyard. It represents nearly all European architectural styles of the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods.
The castle is part of a fortified architectural complex erected atop a limestone outcrop on the left bank of the Vistula River, at an altitude of 228 metres above sea level. The complex consists of numerous buildings of great historical and national importance, including the Wawel Cathedral where Polish monarchs were crowned and buried. Some of Wawel's oldest stone buildings can be traced back to 970 AD, in addition to the earliest examples of Romanesque and Gothic architecture in Poland. The current castle was built in the 14th century, and expanded over the next hundreds of years. In 1978 Wawel was declared the first World Heritage Site as part of the Historic Centre of Kraków.
For centuries the residence of the kings of Poland and the symbol of Polish statehood, Wawel Castle is now one of the country's premier art museums. Established in 1930, the museum encompasses ten curatorial departments responsible for collections of paintings, including an important collection of Italian Renaissance paintings, prints, sculpture, textiles, among them the Sigismund II Augustus tapestry collection, goldsmith's work, arms and armor, ceramics, Meissen porcelain, and period furniture. The museum's holdings in oriental art include the largest collection of Ottoman tents in Europe. With seven specialized conservation studios, the museum is also an important center for the conservation of works of art. With over 1.79 million visitors in 2022, Wawel Castle is the most visited art museum in the country and the 22nd most visited art museum in the world.

The Royal Archcathedral Basilica of Saints Stanislaus and Wenceslaus on the Wawel Hill (Polish: Królewska Bazylika Archikatedralna śś. Stanisława i Wacława na Wawelu), also known as the Wawel Cathedral (Polish: Katedra Wawelska), is a Roman Catholic church and cathedral of the Archdiocese of Kraków, located on Wawel Hill in Kraków, Poland. More than 900 years old, it is the Polish national sanctuary and traditionally has served as coronation site of the Polish monarchs. The current, Gothic cathedral, is the third edifice on this site: the first was constructed and destroyed in the 11th century; the second one, constructed in the 12th century, was destroyed by a fire in 1305. The construction of the current one began in the 14th century on the orders of bishop Nanker. Wikipedia

To celebrate its 550th anniversary Magdalen College, Oxford has commissioned the Turner Prize-winning artist Mark Wallinger to create his first-ever dedicated permanent artwork.
Two years in development, the sculpture Y was unveiled on St Mary Magdalen Day 2008. William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester founded Magdalen College in 1458. It is one of the best-known colleges in the University of Oxford and is known internationally for its high academic standing.
The College has many fine buildings. The Cloisters, Chapel, Founder’s Tower and Hall were built in the Gothic style in the later part of the 15th century. The Great Tower, a pictorial symbol of Oxford, is famous for the May Day event when the College choir sings an ancient hymn at dawn. The Georgian New Buildings, which blend into the College Gardens and grounds, were completed in 1733. The buildings sit amid a hundred acres of lawns, woodlands and riverside walks, which are publicly accessible, and there is a deer herd that has been in existence for over 300 years.
Addison’s Walk, named after the great essayist of the 18th century and father of English journalism, is about a mile in length and goes by the River Cherwell around a great water meadow. Beyond the end of Addison’s Walk is a tranquil field known as Bat Willow Meadow, which is where the new commission is sited. Maps of the grounds of Magdalen College are available from the Porters’ Lodge or they can be downloaded from the Magdalen website.
Over the past twenty years Mark Wallinger has established an international reputation with major solo exhibitions in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Val-de-Marne, Frankfurt, Aarau, Basel, Milan, New York and Chicago.
His work encompasses a wide range of media, including painting, photography, sculpture, video and installation, and it takes art history, mythology, religion, politics, national identity and popular culture as its subject matter. Wallinger studied at Chelsea School of Art in 2001, and in Goldsmiths' College. He exhibited in Young British Artists II at the Saatchi Collection in 1993 and at the Royal Academy of Art's Sensation exhibition in 1997.
His Time and relative dimensions in space derived from a residency and was shown at Oxford University Museum of Natural History in 2001 and in the same year he represented Britain in the 49th Venice Biennale. The artist is best known for Ecce Homo, a life-size sculpture of Jesus Christ which inaugurated the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in 1999, and State Britain, his 2007 re-creation at Tate Britain of Brian Haw's protest display outside parliament. He was a Turner Prize nominee in 1995 and won the award in 2007, and he is one of five internationally acclaimed artists who have been commissioned to produce proposals for the Ebbsfleet Landmark Project, which will be one of the biggest artworks in the United Kingdom.

It is said that this Residential complex called Lucknow Residency was first laid by the king Nawab Asaf-ud-daula of Avadh in 1775 for providing a residence to the British visitors and completed in 1800 by Nawab Saddat Ali near the bank of river Gomti in Lucknow.
"The Residency, Lucknow" at it looked right before 1857, from vol. 3 of 'The Indian Empire' by Robert Montgomery Martin, c.1860

Set number #300 - time for something special.
It was a cold winter morning in 2009. I drove to the usual rendez-vous parking spot to meet up with my buddy NeQo. I finished my take-away cup of black gold and packed my stuff, ready to go, off for a full day of decay.
Once seated I pulled out my endless list of places to visit. But NeQo insisted on skipping those. I'm taking you somewhere else...
After driving for 50 minutes we pulled over to a bewildered piece of land. I could spot a decayed house between the trees, with late medieval touches, but had no idea what to expect. Until NeQo told me. This is Residency Theodoricus, my friend.
Now I've seen a couple of old places, but this one tops the list. It's from the 1600's and no noteworthy changes have been made to the house. What started as a regular mill was later transformed into a brewery of fine liquors. It's a family affair and the brewery was never commercialized or sold to a large investor. Good!
On with the explore. The place itself is divided into two parts: the stables with a tasting gallery, and the house itself. I checked some windows and doors from the residential part, but it was locked tight. Before squeezing ourselves through a bathroom window we started out with the stables and tasting gallery. Which turned out to be an antiques goldmine. Record players, old radio transistors, Solex motorcycles, unopened pre-WW2 wine bottles, rifles of hunters, wooden horses for children, ...
We went up the attic and and unreal scenery opened up for our eyes: the complete attic was covered in gigantic cobwebs. This must be the result of 410 years of cobwebs in the making. I had to wade through this white jungle a couple of times to take my shots. 10 minutes later all my clothes were wrapped up in spider webs. On top of that my pants were completely white because of the chalk of the very unstable and rotten floor. And right there, amidst this chaotic maze, we popped a beer. Cheers. To 400 years of dust.
Right after we finished our beer we continued the program, on to the second part: the house. I checked the door handle of the house again. Shock! It was open. Now I've might been slightly tipsy because of the beer but I knew this door was locked one hour ago. We went inside. Hello? Anyone here? Silence. We closed the door. My buddy NeQo went inside the living room. Hello? And old & cracky voice sounded from below. Yes! Hold on a minute. Dang! Someone lives here? We went back to the door, to make it look like we were just entering.
A skinny man in his late fifties shows up. Looks like's he's been missing a few lessons on personal hygiene. Bad teeth. Greasy hair. And an overal neglected look. But he seems calm. My buddy tells him we're photographers, interested in heritage. Always works, you know. The old man tells us he's the son of the old lady who lived here. She passed away in 2003. He grew up in this house, but can't maintain it. None of the children want to maintain it. The property will be sold, lock stock & barrel.
After a short brief into the history of this place the old man looks at me. And inspects me. I know I look horrible. I'm completely covered in cobwebs and my pants are powdered with white chalk. I'm wearing gloves and a hat, all wrapped up by silken threads of little spiders. I see them hanging in front of my glasses. I'm coughing dust. I'm a total mess. There's this awkward silence, and with the 0.5 liter beer still fresh I can barely hold myself from laughing. Where on earth have you been crawling out? must he been thinking. But the old chap doesn't say a word.
I cannot hold it any longer. Break the silence. Can we take pictures here?, I ask. Once again the old man scans me completely. Did my breath revealed the beer we just drank? Did he pay attention to the chalk on my shoes? Did he notice the cobwebs in front of my eyes? Does he even know the attic is one gigantic spiderweb? Finally, an answer.
No. Sorry boys, you can't take pictures here!
And off we were, bursting out in joy once we were out of sight. Great explore. Thanks mate!
Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve
The Jacob Ebey House was the evidence of the historic settling of the Ebey family more than 150 years ago at this very corner of the country. Sitting on a hilltop and looking directly toward the Admiralty Inlet and the faraway Olympic Range, one could imagine the opportunities that were as boundless as the landscape.

The British Residency at Lucknow was built in 1800. It was the scene of the great siege of Lucknow. The British Residency was the place that served as a refuge for approximately 3000 British inhabitants during the time of the uprising (Sepoy Mutiny) of 1857. Lucknow was center of all British activities during the siege and the Residency became the monopolistic center of the British for almost 90 days.
The Residency still has within its walls, the graves of around 2000 British soldiers who died in the Revolt of 1857. The people of Lucknow tell intriguing stories of British who fled from their homes to seek shelter in these red buildings. Only a 1000 inhabitant survived this tough ordeal. On November 17th, the British troops led by Sir Colin Campbell defeated the Indian forces. Though they triumphed, it was victory in the true sense.
Today, the British Residency of Lucknow serves as a government office. The Residency also has a museum that is well-maintained by the authorities. One also finds the tombs Sadat Ali Khan, who was the first Nawab of Awadh, Kaisarbagh Palace and an observatory built for Colonel Wilcox, who was a British astronomer.
