Thomas Monds built this stone mill and powered it with water from the Liffey River. The ivy has been growing up these stone walls for over 170 years now. Here we get a view of the Old Stone Mill at Carrick from the arbor.
View from the bridge over the Indre in the village / small town of Azay-le-Rideau (the département of Indre-et-Loire, located in the Centre-Val de Loire region in central France), on a mostly clear midday in mid-October 2016. Riverside houses are reflected in the calm water above one of the mill-races.
As is characteristic of the area of the Touraine, a historical, pre-Revolutionary province, the buildings are of pale, silvery-grey to near-white tufa limestone (in French, tuffeau or tufeau). While broadly considered part of the "Loire Valley" or Val de Loire, Azay-le-Rideau actually lies along the River Indre, which is a tributary of the Loire itself. Several mills were established in and near the village.
The village is probably best known for the Château d'Azay-le-Rideau, a small gem of the Renaissance period primarily built between 1518 and 1527. The château is surrounded by the Indre, which forms a natural moat, as well as a garden and parkland.
Azay-le-Rideau is located within Le Parc naturel régional Loire-Anjou-Touraine (the Loire-Anjou-Touraine Regional Natural Park).

This is the Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Stouchburg, PA, taken in June of 2012, when Gaia and I were back East to visit the relatives. It was good to get out on occasion for some pictures.
Many of the older buildings in this part of pennsylvania were built with that light, gray stone, and sometimes with the limestone for accent as is seen here (at least, I think it's limestone). They really are beautiful, but they are still being torn down when they should be preserved.

The Chapel is part of a complex of historic buildings located in Plaça del Rei, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, and it is considered a masterpiece of Catalan Gothic architecture.
A drive down a side road revealed this little building.
Whilst I was waiting for the light, a local drove by and they told me they had been told it was originally a school house.
I could not imagine spending winters in this building.
The church of St Peter & St Paul in the Lincolnshire town of Caistor. This once Roman town of Caistor is at the north west of the Lincolnshire Wolds and back in the day, the centre of the old town - and where this church is - was surrounded by a wall. While not as grand as the Roman Wall of York or indeed Hadrians Wall, the remains of the Caistor Roman Wall can be seen just at the back of this church.
My images are processed to look good on my laptop, and they do look good on there - and on my phone and tablet - I am aware though that some other screens will show my images as either too dark or indeed too light. This is due to individual screen settings and not my inability to produce a clear image ....

What's left of an old family home from the 1870's. This is not far from our home here in Allamakee County. I was struck by the similarity of this photo to those taken of old ruins in Europe.
An all- stone chapel known as the "Church of the Weary Traveller" or the "Church of the Road". This church is about eight feet wide by twelve feet long.
House and small garden in the village of La Chapelle-Montligeon (in the département of Orne, in the Perche region of Normandie / Normandy, in northwestern France), on an overcast morning in early October 2016.
As its name implies, La Chapelle-Montligeon is located below the hill Mont Ligeon (whose name has possible roots in reference to a Roman legion stationed in the area); it is on a small river, la Villette, within Parc naturel régional du Perche (Regional Natural Park of the Perche). A large Neogothic basilica beetles over the village, Basilique Notre-Dame de Montligeon (1896-1911).
In the center of the village is a smaller church, l'Église Saint-Pierre (16th century, in late Gothic and flamboyant style).

Looking down Owen Gate in Durham city centre. If you're ever here then I can recommend the little cafe/restaurant with the blue door here in the middle of the image.
Gateway to Howden Dam
Howden Reservoir is a Y-shaped reservoir, the uppermost of the three in the Upper Derwent Valley, England. The western half of the reservoir lies in Derbyshire and the eastern half is in Sheffield, South Yorkshire; the county border runs through the middle of the reservoir, following the original path of the River Derwent. The longest arm is around 1.25 miles (2 km) in length. The reservoir is bounded at the southern end by Howden Dam; below this, the Derwent flows immediately into Derwent Reservoir and subsequently the Ladybower Reservoir. Other tributaries include the River Westend, Howden Clough and Linch Clough.
Work commenced on the dam's construction on 16 July 1901 and completed in July 1912. The chief engineer was Edward Sandeman. He was also in charge of building nearby Derwent dam and was awarded the Telford Medal in 1918 for his work ‘Derwent Valley Waterworks’. The works involved constructing a temporary village at Birchinlee, or "Tin Town", for the workers, a temporary railway line from the main line at Bamford, construction of a link aqueduct to the Derwent Dam. The dam is of solid masonry construction, and 117 ft tall (36 m), 1,080 ft long (330 m), and impounds 1,900,000 imperial gallons (8,600 kl) of water, from a catchment area of 5,155 acres (20.86 km2). The workers who died during the construction of the dam were buried in Bamford Church.
To the east of the reservoir stands Featherbed Moss, one of the highest tops in the area at 545 metres (1,788 ft), and one of several tops of that name in the area. This is not to be confused with the more well-known Featherbed Moss on the Pennine Way between Kinder Scout and Bleaklow.

A rare (so far this May) afternoon of sunshine, so a visit to Normanby Park was in order. I like to try for this image each year with the tree in blossom and the long shadows on the lawn. 08/05/2012

FOR A BIT OF FUN CHECK OUT THE BALL OF LIGHT MOVIE : www.denissmith.com.au/about/ball-of-light-movie/
We are up in the Flinders Ranges for the opening of an exhibition, and I couldnt help but head out to an old haunt of mine. The Kanyaka Ruins. This was a very early place I spent taking photos, and even really early Ball of Light images.
I thought it would be worth the few hours of extra driving to head there last night and throw this together.
My flickr account has just hit 500,000 views. I really enjoy Flickr. It has been my home (photographically) and a place that I come to relax, share and enjoy everyones work. I gain inspiration and motivation from everyone here.
Thanks everyone for being so much fun, positive and such good companions!
Peace

Rua estreita de Linhares da Beira, aldeia histórica situada no concelho de Celorico da Beira, distrito da Guarda, integrada na Rede de Aldeias Históricas de Portugal. O traçado urbano medieval, característico das povoações fortificadas da Beira Interior, desenvolve-se em ruelas sinuosas pavimentadas com calçada irregular de granito, material extraído localmente das encostas da Serra da Estrela. As habitações, construídas em alvenaria de pedra granítica aparelhada a seco ou com argamassa de cal, apresentam paredes espessas que asseguram o isolamento térmico face aos rigores climáticos do Planalto Beirão. Linhares recebeu foral em 1169, atribuído por D. Afonso Henriques, e o seu castelo, erguido sobre afloramentos rochosos, integrava a linha defensiva do vale do Mondego. O candeeiro de ferro forjado, fixado à fachada, evoca a iluminação pública tradicional. A preservação do casario, com beirados de telha cerâmica e cantarias trabalhadas, testemunha a continuidade dos métodos construtivos vernaculares transmitidos ao longo de gerações nesta região raiana.
A narrow street in Linhares da Beira, a historic village located in the municipality of Celorico da Beira, in the district of Guarda, and part of the Network of Historic Villages of Portugal. The medieval urban layout, characteristic of the fortified settlements of Beira Interior, unfolds along winding alleys paved with irregular granite cobblestones, a material extracted locally from the slopes of the Serra da Estrela. The houses, built of granite stone masonry laid dry or with lime mortar, feature thick walls that provide thermal insulation against the harsh climate of the Beira Plateau. Linhares received its charter in 1169, granted by Afonso Henriques, and its castle, built on rocky outcrops, was part of the defensive line of the Mondego Valley. The wrought-iron streetlamp, affixed to the façade, evokes traditional street lighting. The preservation of the houses, with ceramic-tiled eaves and carved stonework, bears witness to the continuity of vernacular construction methods passed down through generations in this border region.
