Set in the Derbyshire dales, lies one of Britain's most prominent and stately homes, Chatsworth House.
It's set on the banks of the River Derwent and some 11 miles to the West of Chesterfield.
The house dates to the 16th-Century and the present structure was built in 1522 by Sir William Cavendish with later centuries involving different alterations.
Today the house is owned by trustees and it contains various rooms, paintings, drawings, sculptures and other features.
It has various times been favoured as 'Britain's Best Country House.
Erected in 1928, this structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
Texarkana, Arkansas, along with the immediately adjacent municipality of Texarkana, Texas, is a regional economic center for northeastern Texas, southwestern Arkansas, southeastern Oklahoma, and northwestern Louisiana. Its name is a portmaneau combination of TEX(as), ARK(ansas), and louisi(ANA), though the town itself only extends into the former two states. Texarkana, Arkansas serves as the county seat of Miller County.

The larger piece is both the bottom of the superstructure and the front panel, not yet cut off. The smaller piece will be the top of the superstructure, in two parts for a hinged access panel.
On Monday, November 25, 2013, at 0811 hours, units of the Santa Clara County Fire Department responded to reports of a structure fire at 424 Carlyn Avenue in Campbell, California.
Firefighters were confronted with a blaze that appeared to have started on the exterior of a one story single family home with extension to the structure’s interior and attic space. Heavy fire conditions led to the striking of a second alarm as crews worked to contain the blaze to the original fire building.
The fire destroyed a portion of the home’s contents as well as a significant portion of the structure itself. Damage was estimated to be approximately $350,000. There were no injuries reported and crews remained on scene for an extended period to complete overhaul operations.

The Old Stone Fort is a prehistoric Native American structure located in Coffee County, Tennessee. The structure was most likely built between 80 and 550 AD during the Middle Woodland period. It is the most complex hilltop enclosure found in the South and was likely used for ceremonial purposes rather than defense. The structure is now part of Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park.
The Old Stone Fort is located on a peninsula created by the confluence of the Duck River and the Little Duck River (the section of the Duck River upstream from its confluence with the Little Duck is sometimes called "Barren Fork"). The Duck River forms the peninsula's northwestern boundary, the Little Duck forms the peninsula's southeastern boundary, and a westward bend in the Little Duck forms the peninsula's southern boundary. The walled area of the structure encompasses approximately 50 acres (200,000 m2).
The walls of the Old Stone Fort consist of stone and earthwork, and are on average approximately 4–6 feet high. The walls originally consisted of an inner and outer layer of crudely stacked rocks and slabs with gravel and earthen fill in between. Over the centuries, the earthen fill has spilled over the rock layers, giving the walls their current mound-like appearance.
The walls can be divided into roughly three sections, with two sections running roughly parallel to the Duck and Little Duck Rivers, and a third section running parallel to the southern rim of the peninsula. The sections paralleling the rivers gradually move inward, away from their respective rivers, and approach one another in a pincer-like formation at the northeastern half of the peninsula. Here, both walls terminate just before converging, allowing for a small entrance. Two ancient "pedestal" mounds— one 35 feet (11 m) in diameter and the other 48 feet (15 m) in diameter— are located on either side of the structure's entrance. The entrance continues through a 120-foot (37 m) L-shaped corridor which opens into the structure's interior.

IBA - Institute of Business Administration, City Campus, Karachi, Pakistan.
At the time I was at IBA - Institute of Business Administration, Karachi, Pakistan, it was afternoon, the light being very harsh but at the same time creating interesting shadows and patterns. This attracted me to first time turn on the “Noir” effect on my cellphone and shoot these.
I found it quite easy as I could view it in monochrome. I always say doing black and white on film is very difficult.
“We think of Rome as an empire in a way that we do not use for other nations. The others are pretenders. Rome stands alone. Throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Near East its wreckage still draws the traveler and speaks a message that is haunting: this was imperial, this was lasting, this is gone.”

Came across this remarkably structured pattern in the creek flowing out of Beaver Lake. Bubbles forming as the water cascaded over a ledge were caught in a pool and as they were compressed the wind shifting the water a little one way then the other they formed concentric ribbons of wavey curves. A semi submerged grass bisected and organized the lines of bobble into defined perpendicular strips.
Such a strong pattern formed out of the chaos.
Further to the west on the spit are the buildings of the second phase. The most distinctive structures built during this phase were the two Vibration Test Buildings, now commonly referred to as ‘The Pagodas’ (National Trust buildings E2 and E3). The specification for the Vibration Test Buildings included the ability to withstand the accidental detonation of 400lbs (181.4kg) of high explosives; they were designed by G W Dixon ARIBA for the UK Atomic Energy Authority and are identical. Both Vibration Test Buildings, their control room and centrifuge were constructed in 1960.
They comprise a large reinforced concrete central cell 16.47m (54ft) by 7.30m (24ft) covered by a massive reinforced concrete roof supported on sixteen reinforced concrete columns. To the south and east of the main chambers are self-contained plant rooms. The main access to the building is from the south through an entrance passage which was originally sealed by a pair of outward opening metal covered wooden doors. On its western side, adjacent to the main entrance passage is a blocked doorway that led to a small staff room and toilet. Inside the buildings on the eastern side of the passageway one set of stairs gives access down to the main test cell and another to a walkway around the top of the chamber. At the end of the passageway is a lift pit, which allowed test pieces to be lowered on to the floor of the main test cell. To assist in manoeuvring heavy objects there are a number of substantial steel eyelets screwed into the underside of the roof. A travelling crane also ran on rails mounted on a ledge beneath the windows, a loose plate on the floor recorded ‘Becker twin Lift Maximum Working Load 40 tons serial A-2647-2’.
The floor of the main cell is formed of parallel and narrowly spaced steel ‘I’ section beams for test rigs to be firmly secured to the structure. To either side are cable ducts. At the same time as being vibrated objects might also be placed in jackets to simulate extremes of heat and cold, or in a portable altitude chamber to mimic the effects of altitudinal changes. Set into the north wall are seven steel plates with vertical cruciform slots that were also used for securing tests rigs or monitoring equipment. Below these are eight pipes opening from the service passageway to the north. In the south wall are three steel plates with horizontal slots, above the plate is stencilled 1-27ft and below it 1-7.5m. The walkway around three sides of the cell was originally protected by a handrail and there is another handrail fixed to the main wall. Running around the wall is a cable conduit and attached to the wall are various pipes for carrying electrical wires, switches, junction boxes and pressure gauges. Signs on the wall above the lift pit record ‘Telephone Instrument Room’, ‘Vac Pump Running, Vac Pump Stopped’ with associated light fittings. At the north east corner of the cell is a doorway to the rear service passage running east to west along the north side of the building. To the east a flight of stairs gives access to the eastern plant room. To the west another set of stairs provides access to the northern side of the lift pit, the upper walkway and to an emergency escape passage through the north side of the traverse. To the south of the main cell are free-standing Burwell brick-built plant rooms. The main plant room is entered through two sets of double doors on its south side, internally are four machinery mounting plinths. Attached to its west wall is a metal cabinet that probably housed equipment to operate the hydraulic compressor for the internal lift. At the eastern end of the building is a store room with a blocked doorway to the south.
