The Katas Raj Temple, one of the oldest Hindu temples in Pakistan, is visible through the arched window. Due to its historical significance, the temple has become a popular tourist destination.
Built in 1893, this church stands on the site of an old church which had become too small for its growing congregation. It is located in Northumberland County, Virginia, and serves the town of Kilmarnock and its surroundings.
This is Morning Star Baptist Church, located in Heathsville, Northumberland County, Virginia. It has some pretty arched windows. I could not find any information on the year it was built.
Kingsbarns Parish Church was built c.1630, and substantially altered between 1810 and 1811 at the hand of Robert Balfour. The church faces south towards The Square, the central focus of the village of Kingsbarns. It is surrounded by a graveyard on all sides, encircled by a substantial coped wall. A sandstone session house with a slate roof is situated next to the entrance to the churchyard to the south of the parish church. The building is entered though a square headed door in the west elevation, and is now equipped with toilet facilities. The graveyard, which is still in use, features a number of interesting seventeenth century monuments and eighteenth century tombstones with mortality symbolism.
The church is built on a T plan with a south tower and west porch. The body of the church is harled with a Scottish slate roof. When visited, the harling was seen to be degrading on all faces of the building, revealing rough courses of squared sandstone and some interesting rough snecking on the north elevation of the main cell. The sandstone tower is capped by a spire with alternating bands of square and fishscale slate.
The eastern face of the church has a large semi-circular arched window with latticed panes below which is a square headed door. The northern transept has a square headed door in its eastern face and a framed memorial to the south of the door.
Central to the southern elevation is the tower, to the east and west of which is a semi-circular arched window (identical to that noted on the east elevation) and a smaller clear glass square headed window. Between these windows to the west of the tower is a large pilastered War Memorial. A gallery is visible though the semi-circular arches.
The west elevation has a single latticed window set in a semi-circular arch above the porch. To the north of this is the transept, which has a single clear glass square headed window towards the bottom of the face. The north face of the north transept has two pairs of clear glass square headed windows.
The tower is built of sandstone with a spire of Scottish slate. It faces south towards the square and is divided into three stages. The east and west faces of the lowest stage of the tower are without features. The upper two stages are mirrored to the north, east and west. The lowest stage of the tower is entered though a door set in a rounded arch which springs from substantial imposts and has a large keystone resting on a ledge which separates this stage of the lower from those above. Above the ledge are four moulded scrolls on the four corners of a projecting course at the bottom of the second stage. There are circular openings in the south, east and west faces. The south opening is glazed, but the others have been blocked. Below the south opening is a rectangular dedicatory plaque, which is now blank.
The lower two stages of the tower probably date from the seventeenth century. The upper stage has rounded openings all four of its faces. Above this is a pair of louvered arches under a simple hoodmold. There is a clock in each face, just below the corbelled parapet. The slated spire sits in the parapet and has bands of square and fishscale slate, tapering towards a simple metal finial.
There is a rectangular sandstone porch on the west elevation of the church which has a battlemented parapet. Entry to the church is though a square headed south door and to the west are two thin rectangular windows with coloured glass.

Stowe-on-the-Wold, Where the wind blows cold. Where horses young and old are sold, Where farmers come to spend their gold. Where men are fools and women are bold and many a wicked tale is told. High on the freezing Cotswold.
There are various versions of the rhyme, and II just can't find the one I am looking for anywhere. But the wind really does blow cold up here (800 ft above sea level - or thereabouts).
Ynysypandy Slate Mill, Cwmystradllyn, Dolbenmaen, Caernarfonshire.

Ynysypandy Slate Mill, Map ref...SH54SW
The impressive three-storeyed Ynysypandy slate-slab mill, and its surrounding yard, rail-access and water-supply system, was built to serve Gorsedda quarry in 1856-7 by the local contractor Evan Jones of Garndolbenmaen, probably to the design of the distinguished engineer James Brunlees. It is ingeniously planned so that the natural fall of the site assisted the manufacturing process. An internal pit accommodated an overshot water wheel, supplied by the Henwy stream, and on the south side a long curving ramp brought branches of the railway from Gorsedda quarry into the mill at two different levels, serving the middle and upper floors. The grand, round-headed openings are closely spaced like a Roman aqueduct, and derive from foundry practice. The eastern gable is surmounted by a decorative feature incorporating a false chimney stack, and the windows were at one time framed. It is one of very few architecturally ambitious buildings in the slate industry of Wales.
The mill specialised in the production of slate slabs for floors, dairies, troughs, urinals, etc. In its heyday, in 1860, it was producing over 2,000 tons per annum, but seven years later production was down to 25 tons per annum (due to the poor quality of the quarried slate) and the business went into liquidation in 1871.

The tropical plants in the Fitzroy Gardens are housed in this lovely Spanish Mission Styled Conservatory with statues and ponds out the front. The Conservatory was packed with plants including long trailing baskets of succulent like plants. I was unable to get further back from the building on this side as there was a wall and garden behind me!

Chester Cathedral is a Church of England cathedral and the mother church of the Diocese of Chester. It is located in the city of Chester, Cheshire, England. The cathedral, formerly the abbey church of a Benedictine monastery dedicated to Saint Werburgh, is dedicated to Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since 1541, it has been the seat of the bishop of Chester.
The cathedral and former monastic buildings were extensively restored during the 19th century (amidst some controversy), and a free standing bell tower was added in the 20th century. In addition to holding services for Christian worship, the buildings are a major tourist attraction in Chester and the cathedral is used as a venue for concerts and exhibitions.
The WATER OF LIFE Sculpture.
The piece was designed for the Cloister Garden of Chester Cathedral in association with the 900th Anniversary celebrations of the foundation of the Benedictine Abbey of St Werburgh, on this site in 1092.
The water feature depicts the encounter between Jesus and the Woman of Samaria, showing their shared bowl overflowing with water. The theme of water also suggests a link to how the Benedictine monks water supply was at the centre of the cloister garden.

Brockhampton Chapel.. Worcester WR6 5TB, UK
Brockhampton Chapel coordinates...52.1914° N, 2.4644° W
Brockhampton Chapel Built c1799 by George Byfield, with glass by William Eginton. Sanctuary altered 1888-91 with reredos and glass by Powell's.
A Georgian Gothic chapel of tall and compact shape, which has embattled parapet and gables to the main elevations. Tall gabled buttresses rise above the parapet, and are diagonal at the angles. Entrance is by the west door, which has Gothic panelling and is beneath a blind-tracery overlight and square label. Above the doorway is a coat of arms in Coade stone, and a small wheel window. The tower rises from polygonal clasping buttresses, and its 2-light bell openings, recessed in square-headed frames, have Y-tracery and louvres. The embattled parapet has tall pinnacles. In the 5-bay south wall are tall 2-light windows with simple Perpendicular tracery. The chancel has a similar 3-light east window. The north side is plain, with blind windows.
HISTORY: Begun c1798 and consecrated c1810-11, the chapel was built in the grounds of Brockhampton Park at the expense of John Barneby, replacing a small Norman church at Lower Brockhampton. It was designed by George Byfield (c1756-1813), who was responsible for several country houses, but who specialised in prison building. Brockhampton is his only church. Brockhampton was one of the earliest churches in Herefordshire to be built in a Gothic-revival style. Glass for the east window was made by William Raphael Eginton (1778-1834) of Birmingham. New stained-glass windows and a reredos were made in the period 1888-1891 by Powell's of London, to designs by Mary Lowndes (1857-1929) and Ada Currey (1852-1913).

The Westerkerk was built as a Protestant church on commission of the Amsterdam city council between 1620 and 1631. It was designed and built in Dutch Renaissance style by architect Hendrick de Keyser and his son Pieter de Keyser.
The church - the largest in the Netherlands that was built for Protestants - was given the form of two Greek crosses (a patriarchal cross) connected with each other. It is located on the Prinsengracht, next to Amsterdam's Jordaan district.
I really like the symmetry of this cottage with the gorgeous arched windows and doors. Wonder who lives in a house like this, and I hope that they don't mind their home appearing on flickr.
