I saw this alley in Cromer and it looked so inviting. i must have walked past it hundreds of times without noticing it. Maybe it was just the light, at that particular point in time, that made it stand out.

I showed my wife this picture this evening and asked her what she thought of it, always a mistake I might add, and her words were "not on my wall". So of course that makes me like it even more! 😂
Just back from holiday in Brittany so apologies for my lack of Flickr interaction lately. Just had to stop the car & photograph this house. Such tall Hollyhocks I only noticed after uploading. Please view large for detail HWW!

Longquanyu Great Wall is a beautiful spot combining mountains, canyons, lakes, rivers, ancient villages and untouched Great Wall. It is located in Yanqing District, about 20 kilometers north of the Ming Tombs. It was built in Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and it is one of the most ruined stretch of the Wall around Beijing. This section of wall is about 5 kilometers long and connecting Badaling Great Wall in the west and Xishuiyu Great Wall in the east.
A beautiful hazy morning on Ullswater, it was one of those morning when you can almost sense that something special is going to happen. I went to one of my usual spots on the shores of Ullswater, set my gear up and waited for things to happen. The first hint of colour started from the left gradually covering the clouds and sky with a stunning pastel orange glow. One of those morning when you realise why you get up early, and stand for a while waiting..

Small inner courtyard of the Stock Exchange Building in Riga,
now the "Art Museum Riga Bourse"
"The Riga Stock Exchange building is an architectural monument of national importance. It was built between 1852 and 1855 in the style of a Venetian renaissance palazzo symbolising wealth and plenitude. The design was by the St. Petersburg architect of German origin Harald Julius Bosse (1812-1894). Standing out in the magnificent interior with its lavish use of gilding and artificial marble are the main hall on the ground floor (now the museum’s Great Exhibition Hall, the galleries on the third and fourth floors (now the Western and Oriental Galleries) as well as the ceremonial halls on the fourth floor (now the Painting Galleries). For the first time in history, all theses rooms are open to the public."

The fortifications and walls of Dubrovnik are most interesting tourist attraction of this city. They are about 1940 m long, up to 25 m high and 1.5 to 6 m thick. The walls, built from the 9th to the 17th century, additionally strengthen five bastions and towers.
The first walls were probably built at the end of 8th century. The rapid development of city, and especially the appearance of aggressive neighbors, prompted the citizens of Ragusa to build more powerful fortifications. In 867, the city was attacked by Arab troops. Later, many times the walls defended the city against hostile invasions. They were also rebuilt and modernized many times.
Outside the walls are two fortresses (Lovrijenac and Revelin), which were the first line of defense of city.

Fortyfikacje i mury Dubrownika stanowią najciekawszą atrakcję turystyczną tego miasta. Mają około 1940 m długości, wysokość do 25 m i grubość w granicach 1,5 - 6 m. Mury, budowane od IX do XVII wieku, wzmacnia dodatkowo pięć bastionów oraz wieże.
Pierwsze mury zbudowano prawdopodobnie pod koniec VIII wieku. Szybki rozwój miasta, a zwłaszcza pojawienie się agresywnych sąsiadów skłoniło obywateli Ragusy do wzniesienia potężniejszych umocnień. W 867 roku miasto zostało zaatakowane przez wojska arabskie. Później jeszcze wielokrotnie mury broniły miasto przed wrogimi najazdami. Były również wielokrotnie przebudowywane i modernizowane.
Po za murami są zlokalizowane dwie fortece (Lovrijenac i Revelin), które były pierwszą linią obrony miasta.
