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.

The thatched windmill in the small village of Tacumshane (Irish: Teach Coimseáin) was built in 1846 and was in operation until 1936 making it the last windmill in the Republic of Ireland to work commercially.
In 1952 it was restored and placed under monument protection.
In medieval times, the flat and windy landscape of South Wexford was dotted with these unusual structures.

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.
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!

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 :)
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.
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.

Just found the reason for those slabs on either side of the river:
The Mountain Quarry Cement Bridge, later known as "No Hands Bridge," was completed on March 23, 1912, by 600 men working on the Placer County side and 200 more on the E1 Dorado side to the tune of $300,000. At the time of its construction the bridge was the longest concrete arch bridge in the world. The building of this structure proved that concrete was practical for building long bridges. Although it was plagued by various problems during construction , the span was considered a great piece of railroad bridge engineering.
The old cement bridge stands today as a proud monument to early-day engineering and the men who built it. The bridge has withstood the tugging of the American River currents for over 80 years and stayed on its footings when the Hell Hole Dam broke in December 1964 and took out two modern bridges upstream. It also withstood the so-called "Valentines Day Flood" of 1986, which submerged the bridge before destroying a 250-foot earth-filled coffer dam two miles down river.
The cement bridge has served as a landmark since the railroad went out of service in the 1940s. It did, however, serve a purpose shortly after the Hell Hole dam flood. The dam, located some 40 miles upstream, brought millions of tons of thundering water down the Middle Fork. The force of the water tore out the newer concrete-and-steel highway bridge nearby that linked Auburn with Cool and Georgetown. But the cement railroad bridge survived and was quickly pressed into temporary service to restore vehicle traffic between the two counties.
The rail route's 15 trestles and lines of tracks were removed in the 1940s: the metal and other materials were used in the war effort.
Today, a portion of the old rail route is designated as the Western States Pioneer Express Recreation Trail, in accordance with the National Trails System Act. It is primarily used by horsemen, runners and hikers. The name "no hands" came from veteran rider, Ina Robinson, who would drop her reins to ride across the then guardrail-less bridge. The bridge now stands as the "gateway to Auburn" and the final American River crossing of the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run.

In this post I told the story about my last minute pilgrimage to Montana Rail Link on the cusp of its flag lowering: flic.kr/p/2nLhAy6
So continuing with the series featuring one photo of each train in chronological trip order here is the fifteenth train of the trip and the fourth of Day 4. This was also the fourth and last non MRL powered train I'd photograph. An unidentified BNSF manifest rolls west through Billings Yard on MRL's First Subdivision, but the pair of orange GEs are obviously not the focus of this image.
BNSF 6989 is a decade old GE ES44C4 and contrasts greatly with number 84, an EMC SW-1 that is 73 years her senior! The little switcher was built by Electro-Motive Corporation and completed June 15, 1939 on OQrder E259 and was originally Chicago, Burlington and Quincy 9139. It later became Burlington Northern 84 until retired by the BN in November 1975. It then spent another decade on the Davenport, Rock Island and Northwestern until coming to Billings Grain Terminal. Now privately owned by friends of mine, getting to see 84 in person was another reason I wanted to make the trek over to Billings. He and his business partners hope to restore her to operation and eventually find a home on a tourist railroad or museum where she can run.

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.
