Llandudno, Conwy County, North Wales.
Llandudno Coordinates...53°19′21″N 3°49′30″W
The town of Llandudno developed from Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements over many hundreds of years on the slopes of the limestone headland, known to seafarers as the Great Orme and to landsmen as the Creuddyn Peninsula. The origins in recorded history are with the Manor of Gogarth conveyed by King Edward I to Annan, Bishop of Bangor in 1284. The manor comprised three townships, Y Gogarth in the south-west, Y Cyngreawdr in the north (with the parish church of St Tudno) and Yr Wyddfid in the south-east.
Modern Llandudno takes its name from the ancient parish of Saint Tudno. The modern town has grown beyond the ancient parish boundaries to encompass several neighbouring area, including Craig-y-Don and Penrhyn Bay, which were in the parish of Llanrhos (or Eglwys Rhos), which also included Llanrhos village and Deganwy. The ancient parishes of Llandudno, Llanrhos and Llangystennin were in the medieval commote of Creuddyn in the Kingdom of Gwynedd, which was made part of the new county of Caernarfonshire under the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284.

The Prince of Wales Hotel on Southport's Portland Street. Grade II listed. Built in 1876-7 in Gothic Revival style. Anoter fine piece of Southport Victoriana.
No, not the ornate Victorian roof supports at Northwich Station (although I suppose by definition it applies), but rather the coal train passing through.
Once one of the main freight revenue earners for British Rail and subsequent TOCs, traffic is now little more than a trickle. And, when a press release proudly announces that the UK's electricity generating needs were delivered for the first time without coal over a 24 hour period last week, you know the writing really is on the wall for coal-driven power stations.
The train here is the 12.14 Ferrybridge Power Station - Fiddlers Ferry Power Station (6F12) coal transfer, in the hands of Freightliner Shed 66506. Moving deck-chairs around on the Titanic somehow springs to mind.

The Collegiate is a striking, Grade II* listed building, with a facade of pink Woolton sandstone, designed in Tudor Gothic style by the architect of the city's St. George's Hall, Harvey Lonsdale Elmes. The foundation stone was laid in 1840 and the Liverpool Collegiate Institution was opened by William Gladstone on 6 January 1843, originally as a fee-paying school for boys of middle-class parents and administered as three distinct organisations under a single headmaster. The Upper School became Liverpool College and relocated to Lodge Lane in 1884, whilst the Middle and Lower (or Commercial) Schools occupied the original site and would combine to form the Liverpool Collegiate School in 1908.
Mortimer House on Castle Road is one of many iconic Victorian Gothic buildings in Nottingham, UK designed by the acclaimed local architect Watson Fothergill. It dates to 1883. Today it houses a bar and a restaurant, one of which is named 'Fothergills' after the architect.
Situated at the rear of the Town Hall, the Buttermarket was designed as a covered market hall and opened on October 13th 1884. The red brick front carries a stone carving of the borough arms with the words "Our chartered rights" underneath. The two main entrances are from Middlegate, on which I am standing and from the Market Place, at the other end of the market.
Over the past few years it had been in decline but recently lots of money spent to make it more appealing with new businesses opening. It is a listed building, that is it is Heritage Protected.

A shot of one of my favorite architectural subjects taken using my latest wide angle lens.
The Old Divinity School, now part of St John’s College, Cambridge. Tudor revival, built by Basil Champneys in 1878-9 following a competition in 1876. The statue on the corner is of Erasmus.
This stable complex together with living accommodation looks as though it was once part of a much larger estate with a grand country house. According to British Listed Buildings, it dates from 1845 and is Grade II-listed. It lies just off the country lane from Casterton to Barbon and is within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. At one time, it would have been within the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is now within the Ceremonial County of Cumbria.
St Patrick's Church in the South Armagh village of Dromintee. I can find little information about this building online, although it seems to have been built in 1869, which was during a period of rapid construction of Catholic churches in rural Ulster. It occupies a prominent hilltop site and caught the strong midwinter afternoon sun particularly well here.
St Matthew’s Church in the village of Rowde (population 1,400), just outside Devizes in Wiltshire.
A Saxon Church in Rowde was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086. By medieval times there was a stone church, from which the chancel, although altered, remains. A tower was built in the 15th century and still remains as the west tower of the church. Much of the church we see today dates from the 19th century. In 1833, the nave was rebuilt. It is in cut stone with slate roofs and embattled parapets. Arcades and aisles were added in 1860. In 1901 the chancel walls were raised and a new roof provided.

With its gorgeous pink granite columns, the Midland Bank Building in Cheltenham Town Centre was completed in 1880, for the Worcester City and County Bank.
The architect was W H Knight of Knight and Chatters. It is still in use as a bank, now the HSBC.
Stitched panorama of Menai Suspension Bridge linking Anglesey island with the North Wales coast spanning over the Menai strait. The bridge was built by Thomas Telford, highly accomplished and acclaimed Victorian engineer and architect and inaugurated in 1826. Nowadays it is a grade I listed building.
The actual color of this victorian is deep purple, but for some reason it popped up pink when uploaded. The symmetry is owing to a corel reflection filter.

We spent a night at the East Brother Light Station. The bed & breakfast inn sits on a small island located at the border of the San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay near Richmond. Innkeepers Bryan & Stephanie welcomed us with champagne & hors d’oeuvres upon arrival, served us a multi-course dinner with wine, and a gourmet breakfast the next morning. We learned about the history of the lighthouse, and got a demo of the very loud diesel powered foghorn. I took some night shots after everybody went to sleep.
I processed a paintery, a balanced, a photographic, and a realistic HDR photo from four RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

St Brelade Parish Hall is located in the settlement of St Aubin. It was once St Aubin Station, the "country" terminus of the Jersey Railway, from 1870 until 1885 when the line was extended to La Corbiêre. The line closed in 1936, after a fire at this location damaged the station and destroyed most of the railway's rolling stock.
The Queen Victoria Art Gallery in Launceston holds one of the best collections of colonial art in Australia. But they also have a good range of 20th century art as well, and enjoy putting on fine exhibitions with contemporary artists.
This wonderful Victorian building was opened in 1891.

Designed by Jesse Hartley, Stanley Dock opened on 4 August 1848. The dock is the only one in Liverpool which was built inland, all the others being built out from the foreshore. The original quay warehouses are of a similar design to those at Albert Dock and are grade II* listed buildings. The warehouses were built to five storeys, covering an area of 12,000 sq yd (10,000 m2). Between 1897-1901, the southern part of the dock was filled in to build the large Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse by Anthony George Lyster. The northern warehouse has since been developed in to a hotel devoted to the White Star Line's RMS Titanic liner, which has strong links to the area's history of docks and shipping.

Carson Mansion
Eureka, CA

I wanted to call this one "The Last Drone Shot". It was the last day of my Wyoming Road Trip. I'd awakened before sunrise, and loaded the rental SUV, ready to attack the 11 hour, 650 mile drive home.
When I was last in Eureka in 2021 I didn't get any drone shots of the Carson Mansion. The back side of the building is obstructed by a high fence, so I had wanted to get shots higher up. Sadly, I didn't get a good chance then. But now, I took a short detour into Eureka and found the area to be vacant of people. The sun was just coming up. And I sent the drone a short distance in the air.
The idea would be to circle the mansion, getting my shots of the rear of the building last, then packing up and heading back on the road.
Kismet had other plans. Or should I say I just wasn't looking too closely at all the things that could go wrong. The drone doesn't have side sensors, and although there was just the one palm tree on the Carson Mansion property, there were some tall trees in the yard of the lot across the street. I got two series of HDR images, then tracked the drone to the left to begin the circle of shots.
I neglected to look at the actual drone, which wasn't too far up or far away. I heard it's propellers turning, and I heard it crash into the trees across the street!
It was too early to rouse anyone, and nobody seemed to be rooming at the Bed & Breakfast where I crashed the drone. I left the drone in the yard, and continued home without her.
Thanks to the graciousness of the owners of the place where I crashed, the drone was retrieved and shipped back to me. At least the photo I got right before the disaster is a good one.

The Ingleside Bakery Cafe is where every visitor to Evandale usually ends up. The food is wonderful and the charm of the shop inside and in their courtyard garden is so appealing. (We can overlook the, hopefully, temporary crosses on the floor here that mark the spots for social distancing).
We enjoyed an appetising lunch and I seized the opportunity to take a photograph with no people in it (wonderful!). In normal circumstances that is simply impossible. This bakery is usually packed with people. But I loved the way the sunlight through the arched windows highlighted the old floorboards.
The building itself was constructed in 1867 as the town's Council Chambers and Courthouse and is typically Victorian. In 1987 the building was sold and established as a bakery in 1988. And the rest as they say is history. I recommend their curried scallop pies by the way.

Contrasting 19th Century Victorian and Mid-Century brutalist Architecture on South Street, Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, UK.
Frank Moberly/Qua House 1887
This was the home of Frank and Mary Moberly. Frank was one of the local heroes cited for bravery in the rescue of all but eight of the crew and passengers of the steamship, The Mary Ward, which ran aground a few miles west of Collingwood on November 25, 1872. In 1896, Moberly sold the house to Captain William J. Bassett for $700. In 1913, Bassett sold the house to his daughter Jennie, wife of Alexander Qua, a Collingwood merchant. The home remained in the family until 1976 and became known as the “Qua House”.
