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 former Lawson's Hotel, located at the corner of Cambridge and East Street, Inverleigh dates from 1865 when the original hotel, established by William Lawson, was replaced by the present structure. William Lawson had been the blacksmith on the nearby Weatherboard Run. He set up a smithy under a mighty remnant gum tree, a Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River Red Gum) which survives, built a crude structure called the Horseshoe Inn in the 1840s and, by 1852, built the first bridge over the Leigh. He had moved on by 1853 and the business came to be known as Hewitt's Hotel. William Hewitt built the present structure. No architect has yet been associated with the handsome but conservative standard design. Hewitt sold to George Milward who was succeeded by his daughter, Miss Annie Milward, the role of licensee being one of the few respectable occupations for unmarried women. The hotel was de-licensed in 1927 and the building was purchased by Arthur Faulkner in 1929. The Faulkner family occupied the building as a residence until after the Second World War. The 14-roomed building is still occupied intermittently as a residence. The service wing at the rear was demolished in the late 1920s and the L-shaped front verandah is now gone. The most distinctive characteristics of the building are the combination of coursed random rubble construction with finely detailed cement render quoins and the unusual fenestration. Apart from the loss of the service wing and verandah, the main building retains an extremely high degree of integrity and is in fair condition. - See more at: vhd.heritagecouncil.vic.gov.au/places/31709#sthash.SXIysF..
Multi-span bridges are structures of two or more arches supported on piers. They were constructed throughout the medieval period for the use of pedestrians and packhorse or vehicular traffic, crossing rivers or streams, often replacing or supplementing earlier fords.
During the early medieval period timber was used, but from the 12th century stone (and later brick) bridges became more common, with the piers sometimes supported by a timber raft. Most stone or brick bridges were constructed with pointed arches, although semicircular and segmental examples are also known. A common medieval feature is the presence of stone ashlar ribs underneath the arch. The bridge abutments and revetting of the river banks also form part of the bridge. Where medieval bridges have been altered in later centuries, original features are sometimes concealed behind later stonework, including remains of earlier timber bridges. The roadway was often originally cobbled or gravelled. The building and maintenance of bridges was frequently carried out by the church and by guilds, although landowners were also required to maintain bridges. From the mid-13th century the right to collect tolls, known as pontage, was granted to many bridges, usually for repairs; for this purpose many urban bridges had houses or chapels on them, and some were fortified with a defensive gateway. Medieval multi-span bridges must have been numerous throughout England, but most have been rebuilt or replaced and less than 200 examples are now known to survive. As a rare monument type largely unaltered, surviving examples and examples that retain significant medieval and post-medieval fabric are considered to be of national importance.
Despite some later alterations and repair work, Aylesford Bridge is a well preserved medieval multi-span bridge. It is a good example of its type and will retain evidence relating to medieval bridge construction and masonry techniques. Deposits buried underneath the bridge will preserve valuable artefactual, ecofactual and environmental evidence, providing information about the human and natural history of the site prior to the construction of the bridge.

This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 15 December 2014. The record has been generated from an "old county number" (OCN) scheduling record. These are monuments that were not reviewed under the Monuments Protection Programme and are some of our oldest designation records.
The monument includes a medieval multi-span bridge situated over the River Medway at Aylesford.
Aylesford Bridge is constructed of Kentish ragstone with seven arches including a central segmental arch and six pointed and double-chamfered outer arches. The bridge is about 4m wide between the centres of the stone-coped parapet. The end arches are partly buried by the river bank. The stone piers have cutwaters on the upstream and downstream sides on rebuilt concrete foundations. On each side are octagonal and triangular canted pedestrian refuges resting on buttresses over the piers. Below the bridge is a barge-bed constructed from large baulks of timber.
Aylesford Bridge is thought to have been constructed in about the 14th century, and is situated downstream from the probable site of an earlier ford. A grant of pontage was issued in 1331, although it is possible that this relates to a timber predecessor. In about 1824, the two centre arches were replaced by a single arch of 18m span, removing a pier to allow passage for larger river traffic.
Aylesford Bridge is Grade I listed.

Here are two of the main Ontario Place structures, the Pods and Cinesphere. The five pods were display and event venues; one is still in operation and hosting a wedding this evening.
The geodesic dome is called Cinesphere, the first IMAX theater in Ontario. The first feature length movie was "North of Superior". This was a fabulous movie with aerial flyovers of the rugged Northern Ontario landscape.
i actually like this second image better than the first -- there are so few brick buildings around here, not sure what this would have been used for originally?

The Torre Agbar, or Agbar Tower, is a 21st century skyscraper at Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel and built by Dragados. It opened in June 2005 and it was inaugurated officially by the King of Spain on 16 September 2005. The Torre Agbar is located in the Poblenou neighborhood of Barcelona and is named after its owners, the Agbar Group, a holding company whose interests include the Barcelona water company Aguas de Barcelona.
According to Nouvel, the shape of the Torre Agbar was inspired by the mountains of Montserrat that surround Barcelona, and by the shape of a geyser of water rising into the air. Jean Nouvel, in an interview, described it as having a phallic character. As a result of its unusual shape, the building is known by several nicknames, such as "el supositori" (the suppository), "l'obús" (the shell) and some more scatological ones.[5] It has 30,000 m² (323,000 ft²) of above-ground office space, 3,210 m² (34,500 ft²) of technical service floors with installations and 8,351 m² (90,000 ft²) of services, including an auditorium. The Agbar Tower measures 144.4 m (473.75 ft) in height[7] and consists of 38 storeys, including four underground levels.
Its design combines a number of different architectural concepts, resulting in a striking structure built with reinforced concrete, covered with a facade of glass, and over 4,500 window openings cut out of the structural concrete. The building stands out in Barcelona; it is the third tallest building in Barcelona, only after the Arts Hotel and the Mapfre Tower, both 154 m (505.25 ft).
A unique feature of the building is its nocturnal illumination. It has 4,500 LED luminous devices that allow generation of luminous images in the facade. In addition, it has temperature sensors in the outside of the tower that regulate the opening and closing of the glass blinds of the facade of the building, reducing the consumption of energy for air conditioning. It will house the head office of the Aigües de Barcelona Group (Spanish: "Aguas de Barcelona", English: "Waters of Barcelona").

I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

The Torre Velasca, designed by BBPR was an important addition to Milan’s skyline in the late 1950s.
The building can be seen as a manifestation of one of the key ideological dichotomies of 20th century architecture - representing those who defended a strict modernism (the International Style) and those who were open to a Regional Modernism which incorporated local or historic references within the design.
In this respect, the upper third of the building, which protrudes outwardly from the lower levels, was designed to resemble medieval watchtowers such as those found in the nearby Sforza Castle, whilst the skeletal supporting elements and projecting wall buttresses recalled the architecture of the gothic Duomo di Milano.
