The Maiden's Tower (Kız Kulesi), also known as Leander's Tower, at the entrance to the Bosphorous, Istanbul, Türkiye (nee Turkey).
Built just off the coast of modern-day Closer to Üsküdar, the Maiden's Tower has guarded Istanbul since at least 1110, and possibly as far back as 410 BC, though the modern structure was largely built in the early 18th century, and restored again in the 19th.

This is the first time that I repost one of my pictures. But because this is the Towers chapter of our colourful photographic journey, because this is propably my very favorite modern building in the world, and mostly because I just love that picture, here it is again. It's like having dessert twice.

East Kent’s famous Guyitt House is no more, following its recent demolition.
Dubbed by some as the most photographed house in Canada, the house was ordered to be torn down by the municipality of Chatham-Kent due to safety concerns.
The house, more than 150 years old, was owned by Pete Anderson.
His grandparents Roy and Ethel Guyitt purchased the once grand old dame located near Muirkirk, in 1908.

Macon Georgia isn't the most sought after railfan location but it is filled with lots of railroad and music history. This coal tower built by the Central of Georgia in 1910 is the last relic of a 22 acre lot that once was home to a car shop and a roundhouse for the Central of Georgia with nearby Southern Railway next door. As usual, I had to make a stop by Rose Hill Cemetery the following morning to pay my respects to the late great Allman Bros when I'm in the area.
This odd little structure is located in the Landmark Sinkhole. Larger sinkholes like this one have been known to swallow up structures like houses, barns, and buildings.
This outhouse is one of the abandoned structures we saw from the highway far below. It would have been a long cold walk to have to take from the house in the morning, as this privy is about 40 yards uphill.
This nicely structured shelf cloud is being illuminated by both lightning and the city lights of Sandwich and Plano, Illinois. On the night of June 22, 2024, a line of severe thunderstorms would produce torrential rains and widespread wind damage over much of Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. What is captured here is the southernmost end of the warned storm. Some suspicious-looking clouds are being illuminated by the lightning, and in fact would go on to produce radar-indicated rotation over the city of Lisle, about 20-30 miles further east.
Yes, this image is a bit blurry, but it not because it is out of focus. It is because the clouds were moving quite fast by this time, and where I was set up a few miles south of Sandwich was so dark that the only way to bring out cloud definition was with a longer shutter speed, and that was with the ISO cranked up to 3200 (Yes, I could have gone higher, but I did not want to blow out any lightning bolts, which is what I was really trying to capture.)
Apparently Mussenden Temple is one of Ireland's most photographed places. This structure was built around 1783 and modelled on the Temple of Vesta in Italy by the architect Michael Shanahan. Mussenden Temple is located on the Mussenden Road, Castlerock, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
Il castello di Torrechiara sorge sulle colline di Torrechiara, vicino a Langhirano, a circa 18 km da Parma. La sua posizione elevata gli permette di dominare perfettamente la vallata dove scorre il torrente Parma, punto di incontro tra la città e la montagna poco distante.
Il castello fu fatto costruire da Pier Maria II de' Rossi fra il 1448 e il 1460, sulle rovine di una precedente casaforte del 1259, di cui rimane una sezione del portico nel lato ovest del cortile interno.
Dopo il 1575 gli Sforza di Santa Fiora trasformarono la geometria del maniero: fecero costruire le due ampie logge panoramiche affacciate sul torrente Parma, abbassarono le mura difensive, allargarono porte e finestre, trasformarono gli spalti in frutteti e giardini pensili, accentuando la funzione residenziale del castello.
È in questo periodo che Sforza Sforza di Santa Fiora fece realizzare i primi affreschi del Cinquecento. A completarli sarà l'erede Francesco (1562-1624) che incaricò Cesare Baglione di ricoprire tutte le stanze di affreschi a grottesche.
Dominating the Val Parma, it was constructed by Pier Maria Rossi between 1448 and 1460, and right from the beginning devised as an instrument of defence, as well as a distinguished home for the count and his lover Bianca Pellegrini da Arluno.
Positioned on the very first hills, in an area which has always been remembered for its mild climate, surrounded by vineyards it benefits from a beautiful view towards the end of the valley as well as towards the city.
Once having surpassed all the defensive details and having admired the battle structures, the entrance to the courtyard creates a sense of peace and strongly evokes court life just like itwas once: such as decorations, lodges, wells, which describe a beautiful home more than an instrument of war.
The decorations describe the tastes of the various owners as well as the various eras.
From the chapel of Saint Nicomede, in the North-Eastern tower, which contain the two empty tombs of the two lovers, you can go on to a series of rooms with decorations from the fifteenth century. Two gracious, small rooms re-evoke the peaceful stay of a cardinal, which is then followed by a kitchen offering intelligent solutions to organization.
The gold room from the period of Pier Maria (1464), is a complete anthem to love and the anxieties of love in the search for the loved one.
Scenes of the 1985 film Ladyhawke were shot at the castle.

A distant beacon on a rocky shelf in Lossiemouth, taken on a stormy day I used a 10 Stop ND filter and an 8 Minute Exposure to smooth the conditions and create an abstract take on the structure and surroundings. Converted to black and white and toned for atmosphere. This image is exactly how i imagined what I wanted to create.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - When the lightning rod at the top of Black Mountain started buzzing, I knew I had to descend to escape the lightning danger. But I'm glad I returned afterwards, because the sunset was incredible. Mammatus filled the sky as the storm cleared and it took on an orange color as the sun lowered. All the smoke in the air added to the surreal atmosphere. The fire lookout structure was recently closed to the public because it's fallen into disrepair.
