The magnificent Lofoten Cathedral, dating from 1898, is not only a striking Neo-Gothic wooden masterpiece set against the dramatic island backdrop but also the largest wooden building in Northern Norway.

The Nathan G. Moore House by Frank Lloyd Wright was completely redesigned and rebuilt in 1923 after the original Wright designed, more conventional Tudor style house was severely damaged by an electrical fire.
Though clearly based on the Tudor style, Wright also drew on Mayan elements, his Textile Block concept, and the organic design concepts of Louis Sullivan.
Lots more good info about the house on wikipedia and www.steinerag.com/flw/Periodicals/InlandArch&NewsRec.htm
An amazing and unique house!
Melbourne's Yarra River is affectionately know as the upside down river due to it's permanently brown appearance.
The much maligned muddy colour of the Yarra is caused by the easily eroded clay soils of the water catchment. The water was clear at the time of European settlement, but intensive land clearing and development since the mid 1800s has resulted in the presence of microscopic clay particles. The particles are kept suspended by the turbulence in some parts of the middle and lower sections of the river. When the river water combines with marine salts as it enters Port Phillip, the suspended particles clump together and sink. The muddy appearance does not indicate an unclean waterway. In fact, the Yarra is probably one of the cleanest capital city rivers in the world. Since the major clean-up campaigns of the late 1970s and 1980s, the river has again become home to several species of fish and even the occasional dolphin.

Happy Caturday!!!
This image was a dream come true for me. You know how you see an encounter on a nature show and you say to yourself, what I wouldn’t give to see something like that out in the real world. Well, what I dreamed of seeing was a cheetah jumping on the roof of a jeep, and in the Masai Mara, it came true.
Cheetahs are caring, affectionate and dedicated mothers. They spend a long time caring for their cubs. Cubs typically stay with their mothers for one and a half to two years.
The cheetah originated over 4 million years ago. That’s long before any of the other big cats of today. They used to be found in North America when they crossed the Bering land bridge from Asia to the Americas before becoming extinct.
The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world, reaching speeds of up to 113km/h. They can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 3 seconds. When running, cheetahs use their tail to steer, like a rudder for a boat.Cheetahs are the only large cat that can turn in mid-air while sprinting.
Cheetahs do not roar like lions, however they do have a range of other meaningful vocalisations such as purring, growling and a variety of contact calls which resemble bird-like chirping sounds. -Wikipedia

Tibetan dogs are divided into 4 breeds: the Lhasa Apso, the Tibetan terrier, the Tibetan spaniel and the Shih Tzu.
Its nickname "lion dog" is linked to a legend, according to which this canine breed had close links with the snow lion, which in Tibet is a symbol of well-being.
In the sixteenth century, the first Shih Tzu were introduced into China, thus sharing with the Pekingese, the favors of the imperial court. In the nineteenth century, the Shih Tzu became the favorite breed of Empress Dowager Cixi.
A breeding of a hundred dogs was then established in the Forbidden City. The Shih Tzu would be the result of a cross between Lhassa Apso and small Chinese dogs.
When the Empress died in 1908 and with the fall of the Empire, the Shih Tzu left the Forbidden City and disappeared from the Middle Empire. In 1928, three dogs were exported to Great Britain, mainly by Lady Brownrigg, wife of General Douglas Brownrigg, who thus initiated the breeding in Europe. In 1933, she exhibited her dogs in the category of "Tibetan dogs" but quickly characteristics specific to the breed emerged to become a category in its own right.
Thus, in 1934, the lhasa apso and the shih tzu were differentiated and exhibited separately. In 1940, the breed was officially recognized by the English Kennel Club. In France, the breed was introduced by the Countess of Anjou on her return from China where her husband was a diplomat in 1946. The breed was formalized in 1953 at the LOF of the central canine society.
Les chiens tibétains sont répartis en 4 races soit le Lhassa Apso, le terrier tibétain, l'épagneul tibétain et le shih tzu.
Son surnom "chien lion" est lié à une légende, selon laquelle cette race canine entretenait des liens étroits avec le lion des neiges, qui, au Tibet, est symbole du bien-être. Au xvie siècle, les premiers shih tzu sont introduits en Chine, partageant ainsi avec le pékinois, les faveurs de la cour impériale.
Au xix siècle, le shih tzu devient la race préférée de l'impératrice douairière Cixi .Un élevage d'une centaine de chiens de différentes races est alors installé dans la Cité interdite. Le shih tzu serait issu d'un croisement entre des Lhassa Apso et des petits chiens chinois.
À la mort de l'impératrice en 1908 et avec la chute de l'empire, les shih tzu sortirent de la Cité interdite et disparurent de l'empire du Milieu. En 1928, trois chiens furent exportés vers la Grande-Bretagne, principalement par Lady Brownrigg, épouse du Britannique General Douglas Brownrigg, qui a initié ainsi l'élevage de la race en Europe. En 1933, elle exposa ses chiens dans la catégorie des "chiens tibétains" mais rapidement des caractéristiques propres à la race se sont imposées pour devenir une catégorie à part entière. Ainsi, en 1934, le lhassa apso et le shih tzu furent différenciés et exposés séparément.
En 1940, la race fut reconnue officiellement par le Kennel Club anglais .
En France, la race fut introduite par la comtesse d'Anjou de son retour de Chine où son époux était diplomate en 1946. La race fut officialisée en 1953 au LOF de la société centrale canine.

Marina City, affectionately known as "the corn cob", is a mixed-use residential-commercial building complex in Chicago, Illinois, United States, North America, designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg. The multi-building complex opened between 1963 and 1967 and occupies almost an entire city block on State Street on the north bank of the Chicago River on the Near North Side, directly across from the Loop. Portions of the complex were designated a Chicago Landmark in 2016.
The complex consists of two 587-foot (179 m), 65-story apartment towers, opened in 1963, which include physical plant penthouses. It also includes a 10-story office building (now a hotel) opened in 1964, and a saddle-shaped auditorium building originally used as a cinema. The four buildings, access driveways, and a small plaza that originally included an ice rink are built on a raised platform next to the Chicago River. Beneath the platform, at river level, is a small marina for pleasure craft, giving the structures their name.

Loch Ness is a large deep freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands, 37 km (23 miles) southwest of Inverness. Not the most beautiful and romantic loch in Scotland in my opinion, it is best known for the alleged sightings of the Loch Ness Monster, also known affectionately as "Nessie".

I've been testing with different papers, and this one came out different from expectation. It looks almost like a charcoal drawing, not unpleasant, just unexpected.
