Water gushes through the baffles of a fish ladder on Spring Creek, Idaho. Droplets freeze into icy shelves forming a delicate contrast to the massive concrete walls. This structure helps Bonneville cutthroat trout navigate upstream from Bear Lake, Idaho to spawn.
Altamont, 10 stories of massive brick and limestone, overwhelmed its predecessors. The $1 million structure was part of a two-decade trend of spectacular hotels that opened throughout the region, including Wilkes-Barre’s Hotel Sterling (1898), Scranton’s Hotel Casey (1909), Tamaqua’s Majestic Hotel (1924) and Pottsville’s Necho Allen (1927). In terms of elegance and accessibility, the Altamont beat its downtown competitors, located just over a block from the Lehigh Valley Railroad Station and along a highway that ended at Philadelphia’s footsteps.
The Altamont was a tribute to Thomas’ modern convictions. The shining red edifice commanded its street corner, confidently standing above church steeples and Victorian storefronts. Guests could access the hotel at its formal entrance on Broad Street or its arguably more expansive opening on North Church Street. Iron marquees extended over the building’s sidewalks, protecting guests from Hazleton’s typically unpredictable weather.
The Villa Poppaea is a Roman villa situated between Naples and Sorrento, in southern Italy, which dates from the early Imperial times.
The villa is a large structure situated in the Roman town of Oplontis (the modern Torre Annunziata), about ten metres below the modern level. It was owned by the Emperor Nero, and used by his second wife Poppaea Sabina as her main residence when not in Rome. The archeological evidence suggests that at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79, the villa was empty, in the process of being rebuilt and redecorated, possibly in the aftermath of the earthquake of 62.
The frescoes decorating the walls are among the best preserved, both in form and in colour, of all Imperial Roman frescoes; the roof of the building largely survived the eruption, thus affording protection from the elements. The frescoes are in the Pompeiian Second Style, with feigned architecture with windows that seem to open onto views or perspectives of trompe-l'oeil colonnades, ambitious undertakings that, after Rome's demise, would not be equalled in Italy until the fifteenth century.

You could walk kilometres along a deserted sandy beach. Since I discovered this sand structures.
Man konnte kilometerweit am menschenleeren Sandstrand wandern. Da entdeckte ich diese Strukturen.
The red structure on the left is the former West Plains Bank. It stands at 107 Washington Avenue and was built in 1883. The yellow structure on the right is the J.W. and Ed Smith Building. It stands at 109-113 Washington Avenue, and was built in 1894 by W.J. Smith.
Both feature Italianate style, and both were individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. They are also contributing properties to the Courthouse Square Historic District, which was listed in 2003.
West Plains is a charming Missouri Ozarks town that serves as the seat of Howell County.
