Trees in Winter, I adore them, those often gnarled structures against the sky...
Trees are gorgeous All year round, in Spring when they bloom and blossom, in Summer in full opulence, in Autumn with their colourful splendour, in Winter they are naked, except for the occasional snow.
This IS a colour photo.
Have a good day and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

Testing a replacement copy of Horizon Perfekt & Superia X-TRA 400. Scanned with Pakon F135+. Still has right-end blur and scratches. The consolation is no light-banding on the left end now.
Le Mans se trouve à la confluence des rivières de la Sarthe et de l'Huisne. Ancienne capitale provinciale du Maine et du Perche à partir du xvie siècle, elle voit le mariage de Geoffroy V d'Anjou et Mathilde l'Emperesse, fille du roi d'Angleterre, jetant ainsi les bases de l'Empire Plantagenêt, et la naissance d'Henri II. Le vieux Mans, dénommé Cité Plantagenêt, est le quartier historique de la ville.
Richmond Castle in Richmond, North Yorkshire, England, stands in a commanding position above the River Swale, close to the centre of the town of Richmond. It was originally called Riche Mount, 'the strong hill'. The castle was constructed from 1071 onwards following the Norman Conquest of England, and the Domesday Book of 1086 refers to 'a castlery' at Richmond.
In 1069 William the Conqueror had put down a rebellion at York which was followed by his "harrying of the North" – an act of ethnic cleansing which depopulated large areas for a generation or more. As a further punishment, he divided up the lands of north Yorkshire among his most loyal followers. Alan Rufus, of Brittany, received the borough of Richmond and began constructing the castle to defend against further rebellions and to establish a personal power base. His holdings, called the Honour of Richmond, covered parts of eight counties and amounted to one of the most extensive Norman estates in England. The Dukes of Brittany became the owners of the castle as Earls of Richmond though it was often confiscated for various periods by English Kings.
A 100-foot (30 m)-high keep of honey-coloured sandstone was constructed at the end of the 12th century by Duke Conan IV of Brittany. The Earldom of Richmond was seized in 1158 by Henry II of England. [a] It was King Henry II who probably completed the keep which had 11-foot (3.4 m)-thick walls. Modern visitors can climb to the top of the keep for magnificent views of the town of Richmond. At the same time that the keep was probably completed, Henry II considerably strengthened the castle by adding towers and a barbican. Henry III and King Edward I spent more money on the site including Edward's improvements to the keep interior.
In addition to the main circuit of the wall, there was the barbican in front of the main gate which functioned as a sealed entry space, allowing visitors and wagons to be checked before they gained entry to the castle itself. On the other side of the castle, overlooking the river, was another enclosure or bailey called the Cockpit, which may have functioned as a garden and was overlooked by a balcony. A drawing of 1674 suggests there was another longer balcony overlooking the river side of Scolland's Hall, the Great Hall.
Richmond Castle had fallen out of use as a fortress by the end of the 14th century and it did not receive major improvements after that date. A survey of 1538 shows it was partly in ruins, but paintings by Turner and others, together with the rise of tourism and an interest in antiquities, led to repairs to the keep in the early 19th century.
In 1855 the castle became the headquarters of the North Yorkshire Militia, and a military barracks block was constructed in the great courtyard. For two years, from 1908 to 1910, the castle was the home of Robert Baden-Powell, later founder of the Boy Scouts, while he commanded the Northern Territorial Army but the barracks building was demolished in 1931.
The castle was used during the First World War as the base of the Non-Combatant Corps made up of conscientious objectors – conscripts who refused to fight. It was also used to imprison some conscientious objectors who refused to accept army discipline and participate in the war in any way. These included the "Richmond Sixteen" who were taken to France from the castle, charged under Field Regulations, and then sentenced to death, but their death sentences were commuted to ten years' hard labour.
As presented today Richmond Castle has one of the finest examples of Norman buildings in Britain including Scollands Hall, the Great Hall of the castle. The keep has a restored roof and floors but is shown with the original 11th-century main gate arch unblocked. This arch is now in the basement of the later 12th century keep which was built in front of it, the main gate then being moved to its present position which was dominated by the adjacent keep while the original arch we see today was filled-in to secure the keep.
The castle is a Scheduled Monument, a "nationally important" historic building and archaeological site which has been given protection against unauthorised change.It is also a Grade I listed building and therefore recognised as an internationally important structure. Today the castle is in the care of English Heritage which publishes a guidebook written by John Goodall PhD FSA. English Heritage provides a visitor centre for the castle with an informative exhibition containing artefacts form the castles history, they also hold regular events there throughout the year.
According to legend, King Arthur and his knights are sleeping in a cave underneath the castle. It is said that they were once discovered by a potter named Thompson, who ran away when they began to awake. Another legend tells that a drummer boy
This structure at the Midhope tank firing range, north west of Sheffield, was constructed in the early 1940s to enable tanks to have the accumulated peat and mud washed off after a day on the moors. There would have been a heavy steel grille on top through which the detritus fell into the pit. The washing would have been by fire hoses. The silt would have to be dug from the pit on a regular basis. Tanks that were used on the range included Churchill, Centaur, Cromwell and Convenanter.
Another view of a bonfire structure on the levee of the Mississippi River. When we visited, preparations were underway for the 2018 Festival of the Bonfires. The atmosphere was filled with excitement. Children were playing, families and friends were cooking, and work was being done on the structures. We learned there were some very elaborate structures on some sites but did not travel to find them. Gramercy, Louisiana - St. James Parish.
A Manhattan-bound (N) train is seen through the steel structure of the Astoria Line and Queensboro Bridge as it departs Queensboro Plaza station. The empty trackways above once brought BMT trains to the now-demolished half of the aforementioned station, which was once twice its current size. Additionally, the lane that now carries bicycles and pedestrians over the bridge was originally a streetcar lane for trolleys to Manhattan!
The Dade County Courthouse in Trenton, Georgia was constructed in 1926 by Barrett Construction Company from Dalton, GA. The building and land all lie within an oval shaped area in the middle of a round-about with a knee-high rock wall surrounding the entire site. As the center of local government in the small town of Trenton it is a focal point for the dissemination of political information and insures the safety of official records. This design and its site on the small square in the center of town resembles the early Carpenter Style in North Georgia as seen in other early courthouses like Dawson & White counties. The cross plan has two stories over a basement. The most interesting architectural feature is the stepped gables at each end of the building. The paired rectangular windows that encircle the structure feature one lintel per pair, of brick and stone, giving a striped effect; end voissoirs & the keystone are of white stone and emphasized. The ends of the building are emphasized by projecting square pillars and both interior chimneys remain.
For its significance to Dade County and Trenton, this beautiful courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980. All of the information above was found on the original nomination form that can be viewed here: npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail/08e7518c-7c9d-4333-84c...
