The building of the Bavarian State Chancellery.
The central part is a remnant of the former Bayerische Armeemuseum (Bavarian Army Museum), which was destroyed in World War II. The side wings of the museum were demolished after the war, the central part of the building stood in ruins for decades and was restored only in 1982.
In 1993 the new side wings were completed - after years long disputes about the design.

As I photographed this abandoned restored church I thought what a beautiful way to think about Good Friday and Easter and the true meaning.....we can get restored, there no distance in prayer. Happy Easter my Flickr friends.
A slide I was given which was fairly easy to restore, despite the state of the cardboard mount.
Written in very faded ink I could read the word 'Puerto' which I think is Spanish for seaport, so it doesn't really narrow down where this was or what this interesting scene is. I'd guess the slide was about 20 years old at least.
Race prepared straight 6 cylinder (NO Supercharger) Jaguar engined 1952 XK 120, timed at 172.4 MPH in '53 !!!! Looking aggressively mean, at speed on Hiway 1 south of Carmel California. Restored to race prep specs, and now owned and cared for by a Swiss gentleman, Kurt A. Engelhorn, St. Moritz, and co-piloted by a rugged gentleman who looks like he has been transported from the '30s Germany......
The "120" in the name referred to the aluminium car's 120 mph (193 km/h) top speed (faster with the windscreen removed), which made it the world's fastest production car at the time of its launch. In 1949 the first production car, chassis number 670003, was delivered to Clark Gable.

Die in den Jahren 1858 bis 1864 erbaute große Wallfahrtskirche wurde 1923 zur Päpstlichen Basilika erhoben. Das Patronat der „Aufnahme Mariens in den Himmel“ soll daran erinnern, was das Ziel irdischer Pilgerschaft ist.
1991 wurde mit der Innenausmalung in Anlehnung an Sainte-Chapelle in Paris eine Restaurierung abgeschlossen und damit einer der farbenprächtigsten Kirchenräume des Rheinlandes wiederhergestellt.
The large pilgrimage church built between 1858 and 1864 was elevated to the status of papal basilica in 1923. The patronage of the "Assumption of Mary into Heaven" is intended to remind us what the goal of earthly pilgrimage is.
In 1991, a restoration was completed with the interior painting based on Sainte-Chapelle in Paris and one of the most colorful church interiors in the Rhineland was restored.
This very impressive looking tall ship was at the Mystic Seaport's Museum main drydock where it was going to spend the next several months being restored to it's former glory. The ship was a former merchant ship which did have some small cannons that were more defensive in nature according to museum's staff members that was there to answer questions.
Beautiful and restored, the bridge was built in 1867. It's 110' arch spans Cabin Creek in rural north east Lewis County, Kentucky. This Appalachian county was one of the first Kentucky settlements in the Ohio River Valley. One of twelve covered bridges left in Kentucky.
Another restored slide. I think this was taken in the late 1960s; the mount was in very poor condition and I think it may well say 'Bilby'.
With so much time having passed, I have no idea if the shop still exists, has been converted to housing or redeveloped.
Constructed in 1894, the courthouse retains much of its original architectural detail includ- ing stained-glass skylights, decorative tilework, and even light fixtures, furniture, and telephone
booth (a la Superman). To commemorate the building’s centennial, the Auglaize
County Historical Society restored the Statue of Justice, which
formerly stood on top of the tower, but now graces the building’s lobby. You are
more than welcome to visit the courthouse during busi- ness houses—8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday--but please remember that this is a working building. Court may be in session
St Michael's is the Church of England parish church in the market town of Melksham in Wiltshire. The church stands some 200 metres northwest of the town's marketplace. With 12th-Century origins, the building was altered and enlarged in the 14th and 15th Centuries, and restored in the 19th. It is a Grade II* listed building.
The church has a chancel and five-bay nave, with north and south aisles and north and south chapels, and a west tower. Originally dating to the 16th Century, the tower was moved from the crossing to the west end during TH Wyatt’s extensive remodelling in 1845. The chancel dates from the 12th century, while the church was enlarged in the 14th century, and in the mid-15th a clerestory was inserted and a chapel was added on the south side of the chancel.
Pevsner wrote: "... it is a big church, and so it is all the more remarkable that its Norman predecessor was just as big."
Domesday Book in 1086 recorded a church at Melchesha. In 1220 the living became a possession of the canonry of Salisbury Cathedral, continuing to the present day.

The Greyhound station was built in 1938, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 for its architectural significance. It was restored in 2018 and now used as a venue
This impeccably restored and maintained 1936 Ford half ton pickup was photographed in Connecticut. But, it was decided that it warranted a much more suitable background, and out in a country area where it would be more at home, on, or near a ranch maybe? So, we fired up old Photoshop, packed a lunch, and took a digital ride to somewhere outside of Bozeman Montana where it will continue to reside on my computer until "the cows come home." Amazingly, we got some pretty impressive fuel mileage out of this flathead V8 powered beauty. We averaged an impressive 18.6mpg on our near 2000 mile digital trip, and like all Ford flatheads it did overheat on us twice and finally we were forced to stop along the way to replace a head gasket. But now, she's at home, and right where she belongs!

Anaklia (Georgian: ანაკლია) is a town and seaside resort in western Georgia. It is located in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region, at the place where the Enguri River flows into the Black Sea.
The earliest settlement on Anaklia's territory dates back to the mid-Bronze Age and is typical to the Colchian culture. It is the Classical Heraclea of Colchis, Anaclia of later authors, and Anarghia of Archangelo Lamberti and Jean Chardin (both the 17th-century travelers). After the fragmentation of the Kingdom of Georgia in the 15th century, it was an important fortified town, sea port and fishing station within the Principality of Mingrelia. In 1723, the town was captured by the Ottoman Empire and converted into its maritime outpost and slave-trading locale. Western Georgian kingdom of Imereti regained control over Anaklia in 1770, seizing the opportunity of Ottoman Empire being at war with Russia (Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774)). Solomon I, the king of Imereti, was supposed to be supported in this endeavor by a small Russian contingent under General Totleben, but the Russian troops retreated before a clash against the Turks.
In 1802, Kelesh-Bey Sharvashidze, the pro-Turkish ruler of the neighboring Principality of Abkhazia, capitalized on the internecine feuds in Mingrelia, and forced Prince Grigol Dadiani of Mingrelia into surrendering Anaklia, taking Grigol’s son and heir, Levan, as a hostage. When Mingrelia accepted the Russian protectorate in 1803, the Russian commander in Georgia, Prince Tsitsianov, demanded that Kelesh-Bey release Levan. On his refusal, Tsitsianov sent Major General Ion Rykgof into Abkhazia. In March 1805, the Russians took hold of Anaklia and threatened to march against Sukhum-Kaleh, forcing the Abkhazian prince to release Dadiani. The capture of Anaklia drew an Ottoman protest, however, and Tsitsianov hastened to disavow his subordinate and even apologize for his action, removing a Russian garrison from Anaklia. However, the incident added to an increasing tension between the two empires. When the next Russo-Turkish War broke out in 1806, the Russian forces restored Redoubt Kali and Anaklia to the Mingrelian prince Levan who would later relinquish the control of these forts to the Russian administration. (See Russian conquest of the Caucasus#Black Sea Coast.) In the 1850s, Anaklia was a small but strongly fortified seaport, which had a custom-house and carried on a considerable trade with Turkey.
Subsequently, the importance of the Anaklia port significantly reduced, but it remained a minor Black Sea Fleet base in the Soviet times.
After the War in Abkhazia (1992–93), a Russian peacekeeping post was opened at Anaklia in 1994. In 2006, the Ministry of Defense of Georgia reported numerous damages inflicted by the Russian soldiers upon the 17th-century fortress of Anaklia and accused the peacekeepers of installing latrines and baths within the walls of the fort. Following a series of protests by the Georgians, the Russian military post was withdrawn in July 2007.
A monument has been erected in Anaklia on May 21, 2012, commemorating Russia's expulsion of the Circassian people from the region following the conclusion of the Caucasian War in the 1860s. The May 21 date was chosen to coincide with the day on which the Circassian people themselves commemorate the expulsion, which the Georgian government has recognized as an act of genocide. The monument was designed by Khusen Kochesokov, a sculptor from the North Caucasus region of Kabardino-Balkaria.

There dwelt a miller, hale and bold,
Beside the river Dee;
He worked and sang from morn till night -
No lark more blithe than he;
And this the burden of his song
Forever used to be:
“I envy nobody – no, not I -
And nobody envies me!”
“Thou’rt wrong, my friend,” said good King Hal,
“As wrong as wrong can be;
For could my heart be light as thine,
I’d gladly change with thee.
And tell me now, what makes thee sing,
With voice so loud and free,
While I am sad, though I am king,
Beside the river Dee?””
The miller smiled and doffed his cap,
“I earn my bread,” quoth he;
“I love my wife, I love my friend,
I love my children three;
I owe no penny I can not pay,
I thank the river Dee,
That turns the mill that grinds the corn
That feeds my babes and me.”
“Good friend,” said Hall, and sighed the while,
“Farewell, and happy be;
But say no more, if thou’dst be true,
That no one envies thee;
Thy mealy cap is worth my crown,
Thy mill my kingdom’s fee;
Such men as thou are England’s boast,
O miller of the Dee!

Van der Pekbuurt (neighbourhood).
During the entire renovation of this neighbourhood, the historic appearance of the outside of the houses has been restored. The new wooden doors, windows and frames have the original colours from the 1920s: ocher yellow, dark green and red brown.
De Van der Pekbuurt is gebouwd tussen 1918 en 1926 en is daarmee een van de eerste tuindorpen van Amsterdam. Architect Jan Ernst van der Pek ontwierp de stedenbouwkundige en architectonische opzet in 1916. Rode bakstenen muren, geglazuurde gele bakstenen banden en portieken die uit de gevels springen kenmerkten het straatbeeld. De wijk geldt als beschermd stadsgezicht.
De woonblokken hadden door de vele aanpassingen in de loop der tijd hun oorspronkelijke charme verloren. Door kunststof kozijnen en verdwenen originele details zoals dakkapelletjes, tuinmuren en voordeuren hadden de blokken een armoedige uitstraling gekregen. Ook de originele kleuren waren verdwenen.
Binnen de gehele renovatie van de wijk is aan de buitenzijde de historische uitstraling van de woningen van de Van der Pekbuurt teruggebracht. Zo hebben de nieuwe houten deuren en kozijnen de oorspronkelijke kleuren uit de jaren 1920: okergeel, donkergroen en roodbruin (architectenweb.nl).
close to a well visited museum. If only all Istanbul houses were maintained like these......might be a bit boring though :)
Adventuress is a 133-foot gaff-rigged schooner launched in 1913 in East Boothbay, Maine. She has since been restored, and is listed as a National Historic Landmark. She did some Arctic exploring and later was a pilot ship in San Francisco. She now sails out of Port Townsend as part of Sound Experience. On this trip in the San Juan Islands, we caught some strong wind that whipped up some spray on these folks hauling on the jib sheet with their rumps on deck.. The foresail can be seen furled down as she sped along with the jib and mainsail. (www.soundexp.org).
This 1956 Studebaker Hawk hood, came with a 170hp V8 engine. It could be upgraded to 180hp with the 4 barrel addition. The very talented restoration mechanic named Robert, told me of his passion to work on such vehicles. This piece of perfection sat idol for one year in a garage as it went through its beauty treatment.
Considering the Shuswap Car Show was held at an outdoor museum, it seemed appropriate to add a local flavour. So, I combined the rare scoop with the reflection of an old and also restored wooden building.
There has been a church there since the 12th century, but this church itself was built during the 14th & 15th centuries, and restored in the 19th Century.
Buried side by side in the churchyard are two railwaymen, engine driver Thomas Scaife and fireman Joseph Rutherford, who both lost their lives when the boiler of a locomotive exploded in Bromsgrove station on 10 November 1840. Their gravestones both show reliefs of steam locomotives.
The restored Tolman / Loveland house is one of my favorites in the agricultural ghost town of Chesterfield, Idaho. The snow drifts against the fence made a great place for a rabbit to leave tracks around the corner of the property. This was taken in 2002 and scanned from a slide.
El Capricho, in Camillas, Cantabria, is one of the most iconic buildings in north-east Spain.
It was designed by Antoni Gaudi for a local wealthy client and was completed in 1885.
Remarkably, it was abandoned in the late 1930's after the Spanish civil war and remained derelict until 1988, when it was restored and turned into a restaurant.
In 2009, it was opened as a corporately-funded museum.
Happy Window Wednesday!
Sporting a "restored" nose logo, BNSF 9653 swings into the curve at Valmont with an empty coal train bound for Wyoming. While its neat to see a BN logo on the nose of an executive mac, this one definitely looks better from a distance.
One of the former warehouses along the west side waterfront, being redeveloped. Beautifully restored and open to the public soon.
- Gr835.276 - pressi Duferco S.p.A, San Zeno Due 15/10/2022
- Piazzale Duferco Travi e Profilati
- La Gr835.276, dopo essere stata tolta dai rovi e restaurata, è stata riposizionata in maniera provvisoria all’esterno dello stabilimento Duferco di San Zeno Due. La vaporiera necessita ancora di interventi di manutenzione che la porteranno a rispecchiare quelli che sono stati i suoi anni di gloria.
- The Gr835.276, after being removed from the brambles and restored, was temporarily repositioned outside the Duferco’s factory in San Zeno Due. The steamer still needs maintenance that will lead it to reflect those who were her glory years.
The door seen in the photo, partially restored, was part of a defensive system called "bend entrance" that forced the invaders to turn 90º to lose all speed and be more easily attacked from the wall with thrown weapons or rocks.
In the background you can see the Hermitage of the Virgen de la Peña, from the 16th century, classified as late Gothic.
I have deleted, using Photoshop ("Remove Tool") a horrible graffiti painted by that type of terrorists who do not even respect historical monuments.
Also called "Cornel Castle", in reference to one of its several owners, the castle is of Muslim origin, built around the 10th century AD.
Being then located in a border area between the Muslim and Christian (Aragonese) kingdoms, it was conquered and reconquered several times until it finally passed to the crown of the kingdom of Aragon around the year 1141.
The king of Aragon gave the castle successively to several nobles and as it lost its strategic importance, as the reconquest advanced towards the south of Spain, its ruin began.
The current state is deeply ruinous, given the low quality of the construction materials and that, like many other castles in Spain, they have been used as "virtual quarries" to construct other buildings.
Some urgent restoration work has been carried out on walls, towers and two cisterns that stored water in the event of a siege.
PUERTA PRINCIPAL DEL CASTILLO DE ALFAJARIN, ZARAGOZA, ESPAÑA, 2023
La puerta que se ve en la foto, parcialmente restaurada, formaba parte de un sistema defensivo llamado de "entrada en recodo" que obligaba a los invasores a girar 90º para perder toda la velocidad y ser más facilmente agredidos desde la muralla con armas arrojadizas o rocas.
Al fondo se observa la Ermita de la Virgen de la Peña, del siglo XVI, clasificada en el gótico tardío.
He borrado, usando Photoshop ("Remove Tool") un horrible graffiti pintado por esa especie de terroristas que no respetan ni los monumentos históricos.
El también llamado "Castillo de los Cornel", en referencia a uno de sus varios propietarios, el castillo es de origen musulmán, construido hacia el siglo X de nuestra era.
Al estar situado entonces una zona fronteriza entre los reinos musulmán y cristiano (aragonés) fue conquistado y reconquistado varias veces hasta que pasó finalmente a la corona del reino de Aragón hacia el año 1141.
El rey de Aragón cedió el castillo sucesivamente a varios nobles y al ir perdiendo su importancia estratégica, a medida que la reconquista avanzaba hacia el sur de España, comenzó su ruina.
El estado actual es profundamente ruinoso, dada la baja calidad de los materiales de construcción y que, al igual que muchos otros castillos en España, se han utilizado como "canteras virtuales" para construir otros edificios.
Se han practicado algunos trabajos de restauración urgentes sobre muros, torres y dos algibes que acumulaban agua en caso de asedio.
