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.

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

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).
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.

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).

Carew Tidal Mill is the only restored tidal mill in Wales and one of just five in the UK.
Documentary evidence exists which shows a mill on this spot as early as 1542. The present building dates from the early 19th century. The Mill, known locally as the ‘French Mill’, possibly because the grinding stones were imported from France, was last used for milling in around 1937.
Next to the mill is French Mill House, a Victorian property that served as the miller's house.
close to a well visited museum. If only all Istanbul houses were maintained like these......might be a bit boring though :)
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.
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.
I had never offered this image before but included it in a test using my Fuji GFX100s to scan film. Seeing that the face was not in focus, I decided to use Topaz Photo Ai 'restore faces' function and was pleased with the result.
These partially restored structures stand in the most densely built-up part of Machu Picchu, which is believed to have had a population of less than 1000 people. The site dates from the 1400s, and was “re-discovered” in 1911 (local farmers were using the terraces even then).
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.
I admire the restoration that was done on this farmhouse in Laketown, Utah. A new foundation was poured next to the house which was then moved. A new porch was added and the windmill rebuilt. This is an active farm with sheep, a large garden, and a roadside produce stand. Big Creek is in the foreground.

Hadlow Road Station on the Wirral Way footpath between Hooton & Neston Cheshire restored to look and feel at the time of closure in 1956. Opened by the Birkenhead Railway in 1866 later run by the joint GWR & LNWR the original track lasted until 1966 due to BR DMU driver training.
The station incorporates a museum and is looked after by Friends of Hadlow Road Station, the signal box is not the original having been obtained from Hassel Green Northants, devoid of track since 1966 a length was relayed to complete the restoration by 2011.
The railroad section, to right, opened in 1872 with sandstone piers quarried in Adams County, Ohio. The middle section was added for streetcars in 1897 along with the far left section which was used for pedestrians and auto. The L&N train section closed in 1987 and the auto section closed in 2001. Later the City of Newport and the Southbank Corporation purchased and restored the bridge for pedestrians and bicycle
traffic. A great way to cross the Ohio River.
