The Tamano Bridge is an acient structure said to have been here since 711 when the shrine was rebuilt. Im not sure if this is the same structure or not, but it looks fairly new. In the foreground is the giboshi, which are the metal toppers you see on Japanese bridges.
Yahiko Shrine is an important Shinto shrine in a small village located in Niigata. Yahiko-mura only has a population of 8,800 people, but it receives a decent amount of tourism thanks to the shrine. The main edifice dates back to 1918 after it burned down in 1912, but the history of the shrine can be traced back prior to 759 AD as it is mentioned in Japan's oldest poem anthology, Manyoshu (万葉集). It also received attention in 1959 when there was a tragic stampede during new year's celebrations--124 people died and another 77 were injured. The shrine sits at the base of Mount Yahiko, and is situated amongst dense forest near the Mitarai-gawa. It can be reached on foot from Yahiko Station, a few stops along the Yahiko Line from Tsubame-Sanjo Station.

We strolled around, and marveled at the wonderful architecture that was left behind since the mine's closure in 1989. A few old tracks remain, sadly without any trucks to recreate an episode of Jackass with. Cambokeels mine was originally the deepest mine in the region, the main incline sadly flooded and overflowing.
However, we headed along the horse level, desperately praying that a horse wouldn't come the other way.
Netherlands Architecture Institute Museumplein, Rotterdam; architect Jo Coenen, 1988-1993, renovation finished 2011.
The new architecture institute had formulated three core tasks on which the program of requirements for the building was to be based: the collection, management and accessibility of archives and collections - including the library; the study of this material and monitoring of current developments; and the dissemination of the resulting knowledge in the form of exhibitions, publications and events. Coenen designed a separate structure for each of these tasks, adding a fourth section intended for public functions that included a cafe, bookshop and auditorium. The archive is housed in a longitudinal, slightly curved 200-metre-long building made of concrete and red and aluminium-colored corrugated sheet. This structure has been slightly lifted up in order to render it less solid, creating an arcade underneath the building. The exhibition area is a rectangular, closed box of brownish-purple brick.
It’s clear that it’s been a while since this area last saw some maintenance go into it.
Not sure why someone would either put or leave material hanging over one of the girders.
It’s a scene of an old place full of memories.
I think the light is balanced well and I also think there’s a nice level of detail in this shot.

Dayton, Montgomery County, OH

The St. Anne's Hill Historic District in Dayton, Ohio is significant for both historical and architectural reasons. This area constitutes an excellent grouping of predominantly vernacular structures displaying high style influences through decorative features. The area dates roughly from I860 to the early twentieth century and displays a remarkable degree of integrity. Some structures such as the Bossier Mansion are the best of their style found in the city. The structures derive further significance from their historical connections to people Instrumental In the settlement and In the later commercial and Industrial growth of the city. The neighborhood Is also significant as the best and most intact example of Dayton's German ethnic neighborhoods.
The area that is now St. Anne's Hill was part of the original out-lots of Dayton, plotted In 1802 by Daniel C. Cooper, proprietor of Dayton. For many years after this, the area was part of the commons to the east. However, by the I830's, advertisements promoted the sale of flowers and shrubbery from the greenhouse on "St. Anne's Hill". In 1838, Eugene Dutoit built his farm house, still standing at 222 Dutoit Street, on his III acre tract. In the late 1830's, the Hill was also called "Vinegar HIM" because of Eugene Dutoit's apple orchard.
The German Influence on the Hill remained high well Into the early twentieth century, and remnants of that Influence still remain today. The Liederkrantz-Turner Hall at the corner of High and Fifth is a club dedicated to the German heritage, culture, tradition, and music. Although the structure has been altered from its original c. 1890 appearance, it still makes its presence felt as does the Odd Fellows Hall at Fifth and LaBelle.
St. Anne's Hill Historic District Is a cohesive predominantly working class neighborhood displaying a large collection of one and two story brick or frame vernacular house types which show Influences of the popular nineteenth century styles, particularly Italianate, Gothic Revival and Queen Anne.
Esta obra foi o resultado da minha busca por um padrão geométrico tão singular e complexo que revelasse a natureza do meu fazer artístico. A minha identidade, Michelangelo, está naturalmente na minha visão espacial e no movimento de minhas mãos.

The battle between the normal logic of being and the madness that I was involved in took place. The result of this battle is the wood structure called Icarus (this sculpture was created to allow me an accurate comparison with the Rebel Slave), where I found a lot of 3-dimensional qualities defining my natural identity with Michelangelo.

The Oslo Opera House (Norwegian: Operahuset) is the home of The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, and the national opera theatre in Norway. The building is situated in the Bjørvika neighborhood of central Oslo, at the head of the Oslofjord. It is operated by Statsbygg, the government agency which manages property for the Norwegian government. The structure contains 1,100 rooms in a total area of 414,000 sq ft. The main auditorium seats 1,364 seats and two other performance spaces that can seat 200 and 400. The main stage is 52 ft wide and 130 ft deep. The angled exterior surfaces of the building are covered with Italian marble and white granite and make it appear to rise from the water.
At Richat Structure
The Richat Structure, also called Guelb er Richât (Arabic قلب الريشات Qalb ar-Rīšāt), the Eye of Africa,or Eye of the Sahara [circular reference] is a prominent circular feature in the Sahara's Adrar Plateau, near Ouadane, west–central Mauritania, Northwest Africa. It is an eroded dome, 40 kilometres (25 mi) in diameter, exposing sedimentary rock in layers which appear as concentric rings. Igneous rock is exposed inside and there are spectacular rhyolites and gabbros which have undergone hydrothermal alteration and a central megabreccia. The structure is also the location of exceptional accumulations of Acheulean archeological artifacts.
Jackson Lake Lodge
In 1955 the Jackson Lake Lodge opened and became the first example of modern, International style architecture in a National Park. The design was intended to express a sense of modernism and the creation of a new era after the close of World War II. The large, flat, concrete and glass structure was made to blend in with the landscape as much as its Rustic style predecessors, but the use of mass-made manufactured materials sent a different message. It reflected the strength of the economy, that the war had not depleted the country’s resources, and the nation was able to increase production. The Jackson Lake Lodge was seen as a symbol of economic growth and success, ushering in a new era of architectural design in the Mission 66 program. The Lodge was intended to keep National Parks in the forefront of American culture and tourism, another boost to the post-war economy. The Lodge also offered modern amenities that many dude ranches had not yet adopted. As a resort, the Jackson Lake Lodge offered, and catered to, a very different type of vacation experience. The ability to drive the family automobile and see multiple sites at a time and rest in a comfortable room with electricity and plumbing was becoming expected. The National Park Service was mindful of their future in the minds of the American public and hoped to adopt the modernistic values of “progress, efficiency, health and innovation.”
The Jackson Lake Lodge is operated by the Grand Teton Lodge Company. Backed by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., it had originally been situated located in the nearby homesteader-settled town of Moran. Ben Sheffield first opened the Teton Lodge in 1903. It was run by the Teton Lodge Company, which became the Grand Teton Lodge Company when Rockefeller purchased the majority of the town in 1929. With few options for tourist housing in the valley, Rockefeller decided to keep the town of Moran and the Teton Lodge operational. He began working on plans to construct the new hotel with the nationally recognized architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood in 1950. Over the next five years until the Lodge was opened, the town of Moran was removed from the landscape and moved about 11 miles to the west. The remaining land was regraded and re-vegetated, removing all traces of its former location. The “ramshackle” town was an eyesore in the planned view shed planned for the new Lodge. Many of the original cabins built by Sheffield were moved to Colter Bay, and those that were in rough shape were burned.
The differences between the old Teton Lodge and the new Jackson Lake Lodge were stark and the new Lodge had many early detractors. A number of valley residents saw it as outlandish, cold and unfeeling. It lacked the warmth and traditional craftsmanship of the earlier log cabins. It catered specifically to tourists and the growing wealth of the middle class. Many locals felt it was intended only for outsiders, and held none of the cultural value associated with the history of the valley; clearly the idea of modern architecture had not yet penetrated the aesthetic senses of the general populace. Rather than distract from the outside, the building was designed to “bring the outside in.” An appreciation of the view was only possible when standing inside the lobby behind the large plate glass wall of windows. Supporters were quick to point out that the steel, concrete and glass structure was fireproof. In 2003, the Lodge was designated as a National Historic Landmark for its contributions to the modernization of National Park Service infrastructure. This is the highest level of designation that a historic building can receive, the Murie Center near Moose is the only other National Historic Landmark in the valley.
Despite the prominence of the Jackson Lake Lodge, the legacy of the Rockefellers, and the early successes of the Sheffields in Moran, many forget that there was a precursor that stood on the same spot. The “old” Jackson Lake Lodge was built in 1922 and owned by Eugene Amoretti’s Amoretti Hotel and Camp Company. Originally, this Lodge was considered to be the first modern hotel in the valley. The main lodge and many of the log cabins had both hot and cold running water, with full bathrooms. The cabins and lodge were purchased by Rockefeller’s Snake River Land Company in 1930, and kept operational until 1953 when the resort was demolished.
While no evidence remains of the original town of Moran, or the original Jackson Lake Lodge, their memory is not forgotten. Today’s Jackson Lake Dam Picnic area and associated parking lots are built on top of the site of the old town of Moran. For those with a keen eye, some hidden clues remain in the form of leftover strawberry plants, and pieces of concrete that have emerged through layers of soil due to the freeze-thaw cycle. The “ghost of Moran” is rumored to be nearby in the form of an old rhubarb plant that escaped the extensive regrading activities. Now considered a historic resource, the Jackson Lake Lodge continues to be one of the most visited areas in the valley, carrying on a legacy first created by Ben Sheffield over a century ago.
Jackson Lake Lodge at Moran Junction, this lodge has 50 rooms in the main building and 250 rooms in adjacent cottages, a main lounge with a giant picture window view of the the Tetons, a Coffee Shop dining room seating 500, snack bar, stockade Room coctail lounge, art gallery , auditorium, barber and beauty shop, service station and corral. It was built at a cost of $6,000,000 an outright contribution of Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and is operated by the Grand Teton Lodge Company. It opened in 1955 with rates beginning at $10.00.
