I have a lot of respect for those
who make it
to show a picture every day.
Sometime and somewhere
I have on my forays into the villages
shot this picture
how come? I don't know.
Das Topplerschlösschen ist ein kleiner spätmittelalterlicher Wohnturm im Taubertal bei Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Es wurde vom Rothenburger Bürgermeister Heinrich Toppler im Jahr 1388 im Bautyp eines sogenannten Weiherhauses, einer Sonderform des Festen Hauses, als Sommerhaus errichtet. Es besteht aus einem steinernen Unterbau in der Art eines Wehrturms und Obergeschossen aus Fachwerk. Es ist von einem Graben umgeben, der durch eine Quelle geflutet wurde.
Kleine Herrenhäuser dieses Typus waren im Spätmittelalter häufig, sind jedoch äußerst selten erhalten.

The Topplerschlösschen is a small late medieval residential tower in the Tauber Valley near Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It was built by the mayor of Rothenburg, Heinrich Toppler, in 1388 as a so-called pond house, a special type of permanent house, as a summer house. It consists of a stone substructure in the manner of a defense tower and upper floors made of half-timbering. It is surrounded by a ditch that was flooded by a spring.
Small mansions of this type were common in the late Middle Ages, but have survived extremely rarely.

Situated on a narrow headland between the sea and Bodden - the peninsula Fischland-Darß-Zingst - lies Ahrenshoop. The artists' village Ahrenshoop now has more than 120 years of tradition. Immediately behind the dunes is the former residential and studio building by Theobald Schorn, built in 1909 in the style of typical fisherman's houses.
Thanks to everyone for the group invites, awards, kind comments and favorites!
So very much appreciated!

Ortygia (Italian: Ortigia) is a small island which is the historical centre of the city of Syracuse, Sicily. The island, also known as Città Vecchia (Old City), contains many historical landmarks. The name originates from the Ancient Greek ortyx (ὄρτυξ) which means "Quail".
Ortygia is located at the eastern end of Syracuse and is separated from it by a narrow channel. Three bridges connect the island to mainland Sicily. The island is an extremely popular place for tourism, shopping, entertainment and also a residential area.

This photo was taken at Fort Macaulay in Esquimalt BC Canada (near Victoria). The fort was built here between February 1894 and October 1897 as part of a strategic defence location to protect the harbour entrance to the Royal Canadian Naval base. There were two other locations on the other side of the harbour. Each Fort had gun emplacements. None of the Fort's were ever used in a hostile manner. The site is now a park close to where I live. This was my playground for my friends and I when we were kids. Our dad's were in the army and the surrounding area is Work Point Barracks, basically a military residential housing location.
Former Drapers' College building, Tottenham, built in 1848. Now converted into residential apartments and renamed Old School Court.

China is still developing. 2025 will see the country starting its second phase of industrialisation, in its vast and resource rich western provinces, with Chongqing as the administrative hub and international port 1500 miles inland from the sea. Phase 1 industrialisation started from a low base in the 1970s and has made China the world's biggest economy and a manufacturer double in output of its only global competitor the United States. Phase 2 is beginning at an infinitely higher technological and infrastructural base, and is already mind-boggling.
Barred residential window in Porto, Portugal. Many buildings in Portugal and Spain have lovely barred wirndows and wooden doors. Image captures my attention with reddish bars, white wooden frames and bluish looking design curtain.

A brief stop over in the Lois Hole park area. Why they look in such a hurry is because they were relentlessly chased (underwater) by the residential breeding Red necked grebe, which incidentally was "again" unsuccessful this year.
Thanks to Don Delaney for the heads up.

Smoke.
Australia
From 1 January 2022, landlords must install interconnected smoke alarms in residential rental properties.
When one goes off, they all go off, giving everyone extra time to escape.
All other dwellings must transition to full compliance by 2027.
Don’t leave it to the last minute. You could save a life.
