Elvaston Castle is a stately home in Elvaston, Derbyshire, England. The Gothic Revival castle and surrounding parkland is run and owned by Derbyshire County Council as a country park known as Elvaston Castle Country Park. The country park has 200 acres (0.81 km2) of woodlands, parkland and formal gardens.
The centrepiece of the estate is the Grade II* Listed Elvaston Castle. The castle has been neglected and is in need of restoration. Due to its condition, the building is not open to the public, and since 2008 has been listed on the Buildings at Risk Register.

Harrington, Washington
Hotel Lincoln is located in Harrington, Washington. It is an historic 1902 hotel and is in the process of rehabilitation. It is on the local, state, and national register of historic places. I grew in the same town and my parents owned a different hotel 1/4 mile away.
Small inner courtyard of the Stock Exchange Building in Riga,
now the "Art Museum Riga Bourse"
"The Riga Stock Exchange building is an architectural monument of national importance. It was built between 1852 and 1855 in the style of a Venetian renaissance palazzo symbolising wealth and plenitude. The design was by the St. Petersburg architect of German origin Harald Julius Bosse (1812-1894). Standing out in the magnificent interior with its lavish use of gilding and artificial marble are the main hall on the ground floor (now the museum’s Great Exhibition Hall, the galleries on the third and fourth floors (now the Western and Oriental Galleries) as well as the ceremonial halls on the fourth floor (now the Painting Galleries). For the first time in history, all theses rooms are open to the public."

One thing that always amazes me is seeing these locomotives in person. It's hard to grasp how big they are until you are standing next to them and trying to photograph it!
This unit was restored just a few years later back to it's original paint colors. I'll post a photo I took in the comments below.

I believe that, sometimes, you can see ART "already" even if the piece is still not yet finished ;)

Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand.
The city suffered a series of earthquakes between September 2010 and January 2012, with the most destructive of them occurring on 22 February 2011, in which 185 people were killed and thousands of buildings across the city collapsed or suffered severe damage. By late 2013, 1,500 buildings in the city had been demolished, leading to ongoing recovery and rebuilding projects across the city.

“Urban Ecosystem Restoration” mural painted by Millo for Street Art For Mankind
From the Street Art For Mankind instagram post:
It features the artist’s signature clumsy character in a surreal setting, attempting to reclaim his space in an urban jungle that has forgotten our primary needs. It poetically and powerfully underscores the importance of green spaces in urban environments. The character demonstrates the strength of these spaces, their transformative impact on our reality, and how they enhance our well-being. It’s a clear invitation to reconnect with nature in our cities.
Looking across buttes in Valley of the Gods towards Monument Valley with the early morning light filtered by a light cloud cover. This region exudes a spiritual grace, not surprisingly as a place of habitation by indigenous peoples for at least the last 12,000 years as well as a popular destination for many seeking peace in the empty raw landscapes of the Colorado Plateau.
Valley of the Gods is likely to be formally reincorporated into the Bears Ears National Monument with recent actions by President Biden, reversing the previous administration's drastic shrinking of the monument established by President Obama.

I do not look at statistics all that often, but I did recently. I saw that just a couple weeks ago or so I had passed 3 million views. Which gave me pause for reflection. I first joined Flickr in 2007. I did not do anything with it for the first year, but as I started figuring out what it was about, I became more active. Since that time, I have shared 1000 photos.
I have enjoyed my interaction with other photographers from all over the world, loved seeing the world through their eyes. I have learned from their work and from their feedback. Awards groups, something not everyone loves, have functioned like small photo contests and have taught me a great deal. I have made friends with people I have never met in person. While not without its frustrations, Flickr has mostly been a positive experience for me, largely because of the photographers I have encountered and the work they have shared.
So thanks, all of you. Thanks for your interest in my work, your encouragement, and for sharing yourselves as you have courageously posted your own work for me to enjoy and learn from.
Here is another shot taken in the Great Smoky Mountains. The Native Americans know these mountains as a spiritually important place and I have to agree with them. I do not get out as much as I would like, but it restores me when I do. I appreciate having a place to share what I find there. Again, thanks to you all.

(59/365) Best viewed Large. When we win the Euromillions (positive thinking) we'll buy this half mile long strip of land adjacent to the sea canal at Blennerville, Tralee & restore these old buildings as holiday lets. The only inhabitants right now are few old goats & Starlings (3 on the roof) looking for nest sites. Who wouldn't want to wake up to views of Otters & Cormorants feeding in the canal, huge flocks of Golden Plover wheeling overhead & the haunting cry of Curlew echoing all around. HFF everyone!
As we have continued to digitize old photographs for our parents, I came across this excellent image of my wife’s Great Grandparents automobiles taken from their front porch during a snowstorm. The picture was taken around 1936 near the North Texas town of Woodson. I not sure about the car on the left, but it looks possibly like a 1932 Ford Model B. The car on the right is a 1936 Ford Model 48. I felt that this image really captures that remote sense of loneliness on a 1930s farm in rural North Texas. A good day to stay inside next to the stove and play dominoes if you ask me!

Crystal Palace Subway is a beautifully designed and crafted relic of Victorian construction. Hidden under the Crystal Palace Parade it was built to provide access to the Crystal Palace.
The Crystal Palace was a cast iron and plate glass building originally erected in Hyde Park to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. After the exhibition, it was rebuilt in an enlarged form at the top of Sydenham Hill. It proved a popular attraction and stood from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936.

This subway is going to be so impressive when it is opened to the public (and all the builder's material is removed :-) ).
