[This series contains 6 photos] On Rivermont Avenue in Lynchburg, Virginia is a fascinating home with richly detailed architectural embellishments from the roof down to the porch. The 1901 wooden structure is an asymmetrical Colonial Revival style house. It's 2 1/2 stories high with a complex roof line with a centered cross gable and a hip roof at the front gable. At the top is a broken widow's walk and some intermittent roof cresting. Two unadorned brick chimneys are visible. The pedimented front gable is shingled with an ornamental circular window. Cornices throughout are bracketed with dentils. Fluted Ionic corner pilasters are uninterrupted by intervening details. On the facade just below the front gable is an area jutting slightly from the plane of the building. Clustered here are four small Ionic pilasters with capitals possibly painted in gold. This section of the second story is highly ornamented. Throughout the shapes and styles of windows is varied--oval, round, Palladian, widows with hexagonal shapes, and even conventional double-hung sash. On the left facade as one faces the structure is a 2-story bay window. The steps to the front porch consist of three platforms, each higher level smaller than that below. The porch is a wraparound with Ionic columns as roof support. At the porch entrance, the columns are paired. Porch balusters are turned. The entry has two sets of doors--the outer part is a wooden double-leaf door with a single glass pane in each leaf and a bottom section that appears to consist of a metallic mesh. There is a transom but no sidelights. Two fluted Ionic pilasters are on each side of the entry; below each is a recessed panel with a raised central section. The architect was Aubrey Chesterman.
It's sad to see a beautiful home like this with peeling paint and areas needing repair. The lawn is maintained but I don't know is the house is occupied. The William E. Graves House is included in Rivermont Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places April 11, 2003 with reference number 03000224. The original nomination form for the historic district is at

This is something I'm not very experienced with - a art structure. I've seen lots of great mosaics (eg Katie's) and I wanted to try out how to use all these parts. I was ill the last two weeks (had a cold and sth with my knee -_-) so I couldn't come up with something more MoCish.
Hope you like it.

Rankin Octagonal Barn is a historic octagonal barn located near Silverton, Jackson County, West Virginia. It was built about 1890, and is an eight-sided frame structure covered with vertical wide board siding. Each side of the octagon measures 24 feet in length. It features a central cupola to provide light and ventilation.
This rectagular frame the only structure still standing in this part of Northrup Canyon in Steamboat Rock State Park. It may have been part of a mill or perhaps a mine in the canyon.
Just a structure, somewhere in Kangar, Perlis! ;-D

"Bamberg Cathedral (German: Bamberger Dom, official name Bamberger Dom St. Peter und St. Georg) is a church in Bamberg, Germany, completed in the 13th century. The cathedral is under the administration of the Roman Catholic Church and is the seat of the Archbishop of Bamberg. Since 1993, the cathedral has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Town of Bamberg".
It was founded in 1002 by King (and later Emperor) Heinrich II (Henry II) and consecrated in 1012. With the tombs of Henry II and his spouse Cunigunde, the cathedral contains the remains of the only imperial couple that was canonized. With the tomb of Pope Clement II (1005–47) it also contains the only papal grave in Germany, and north of the Alps.
After the first two cathedrals burned down in the 11th and 12th centuries, the current structure, a late Romanesque building with four large towers, was built in the 13th century.
The cathedral is about 94 m long, 28 m broad, 26 m high, and the four towers are each about 81 m high. It contains many works of art, including the marble tomb of the founder and his wife, the Empress Kunigunde, considered a masterpiece of the sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider, and carved between 1499 and 1513.
Another well-known treasure of the cathedral is an equestrian statue known as the Bamberg Horseman (German: Der Bamberger Reiter). This statue, possibly depicting the Hungarian king Stephen I, most likely dates to the period from 1225 to 1237.
Bamberg (/ˈbæmbɜːrɡ/, US also /ˈbɑːmbɛərk/, German: [ˈbambɛʁk]; East Franconian: Bambärch) is a town in Upper Franconia district in Bavaria, Germany, on the river Regnitz close to its confluence with the river Main. Bamberg had 79,000 inhabitants in 2022. The town dates back to the 9th century, when its name was derived from the nearby Babenberch castle. Cited as one of Germany's most beautiful towns, with medieval streets and buildings, the old town of Bamberg has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993.
From the 10th century onwards, Bamberg became a key link with the Slav peoples, notably those of Poland and Pomerania. It experienced a period of great prosperity from the 12th century onwards, during which time it was briefly the centre of the Holy Roman Empire. Emperor Henry II was buried in the old town, alongside his wife Kunigunde. The town's architecture from this period strongly influenced that in Northern Germany and Hungary. From the middle of the 13th century onwards, the bishops were princes of the Empire and ruled Bamberg, overseeing the construction of monumental buildings. This growth was complemented by the obtaining of large portions of the estates of the Counts of Meran in 1248 and 1260 by the sea, partly through purchase and partly through the appropriation of extinguished fiefs.
Bamberg lost its independence in 1802, following the secularization of church lands, becoming part of Bavaria in 1803. The town was first connected to the German rail system in 1844, which has been an important part of its infrastructure ever since. After a communist uprising took control over Bavaria in the years following World War I, the state government fled to Bamberg and stayed there for almost two years before the Bavarian capital of Munich was retaken by Freikorps units (see Bavarian Soviet Republic). The first republican constitution of Bavaria was passed in Bamberg, becoming known as the Bamberger Verfassung (Bamberg Constitution).
Following the Second World War, Bamberg was an important base for the Bavarian, German, and then American military stationed at Warner Barracks, until closing in 2014.
Upper Franconia (German: Oberfranken) is a Regierungsbezirk (administrative [Regierungs] region [bezirk]) of the state of Bavaria, southern Germany. It forms part of the historically significant region of Franconia, the others being Middle Franconia and Lower Franconia, which are all now part of the German Federal State of Bayern (Bavaria).
With more than 200 independent breweries which brew approximately 1000 different types of beer, Upper Franconia has the world's highest brewery-density per capita. A special Franconian beer route (Fränkische Brauereistraße) runs through many popular breweries.
The administrative region borders on Thuringia (Thüringen) to the north, Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) to the west, Middle Franconia (Mittelfranken) to the south-west, and Upper Palatinate (Oberpfalz) to the south-east, Saxony (Sachsen) to the north-east and the Czech Republic to the east.
After the founding of the Kingdom of Bavaria the state was totally reorganized and, in 1808, divided into 15 administrative government regions (German: Regierungsbezirke (singular Regierungsbezirk)), in Bavaria called Kreise (singular: Kreis). They were created in the fashion of the French departements, quite even in size and population, and named after their main rivers.
In the following years, due to territorial changes (e. g. loss of Tyrol, addition of the Palatinate), the number of Kreise was reduced to 8. One of these was the Mainkreis (Main District). In 1837 king Ludwig I of Bavaria renamed the Kreise after historical territorial names and tribes of the area. This also involved some border changes or territorial swaps. Thus the name Mainkreis changed to Upper Franconia.
Next to the former episcopal residence city of Bamberg, the capital Bayreuth, the former residence city of Coburg and the classicist centre of Hof, as well as the towns of Lichtenfels, Kronach, Gößweinstein and Kulmbach, the Weißenstein Palace, Banz Abbey and the Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, the scenic attractions of the River Main and the low mountain ranges of the Fichtel Mountains with the town of Wunsiedel and the Franconian Forest belong among the region's major tourist attractions. There are also numerous spas like Bad Rodach, Bad Steben, Bad Staffelstein, Bad Berneck and Bad Alexandersbad." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

The structure of this catholic church is impressive. We could see it from a far distance on our way to Irvine. The day we were leaving this part of Orange County, we decided to pay a visit and take a closer look. Unfortunately, we were not able to peek inside the church as it was not Sunday.
The Art Deco style of architecture suggests that the structure dates from the late 1930s into the mid 1940s.
