After the Florida East Coast Railway Society Convention was over, I rented a car at Miami International Airport and drove to Miami Beach for some sightseeing before returning to the Tampa Bay Area on Tuesday aboard an AMTRAK Train.

This photograph shows, Tudor Hotel, which is located at 1111 Collins Avenue near it's intersection with 11th Street. This photograph also shows the Palmer House, which is next door at 1119 Washington Avenue. These are Historic ART DECO Hotels, which were restored and combined, are now operated as the Dream South Beach Hotel.

Collins Avenue is also known as Florida State Road A1A.

Finally getting around to looking at some images taken on a recent business trip to Nashville. This is the gorgeous Union Station Hotel in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It was first created as a majestic railway station in 1900, in a style known as Richardson Romanesque. The landmark station (turned hotel) captures America's great railroad era.

Frankfurt am Main by shutterBRI

Frankfurt, Germany

.

Frankfurt am Main is the largest city in the German state of Hessen and the fifth-largest city in Germany after Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne, with an end-2006 population of 661,877. The greater metropolitan Frankfurt area had an estimated population of 1,468,140 in 2000. The city is at the center of the larger Frankfurt Rhine Main Area which has a population of 5 million and is Germany's second largest metropolitan area.

Situated on the Main river, Frankfurt is the financial and transportation center of Germany. Frankfurt is the place of residence of the European Central Bank, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and is one of the two largest financial centres in continental Europe (the other one being Paris). Frankfurt was also named Europe's richest city in 2001 as measured by GDP per capita. It is also listed as one of nine Alpha world cities.

Among English speakers the city is commonly known simply as "Frankfurt", though Germans occasionally call it by its full name when it is necessary to distinguish it from the other (significantly smaller) Frankfurt in the German state of Brandenburg, known as Frankfurt (Oder). It was once called Frankfort-on-the-Main in English, a translation of Frankfurt am Main.

BERGAMA // PERGAMON - 17 by ILKER OZMEN

3 102

The Attalid kingdom was the rump state left after the collapse of the Kingdom of Thrace.

The Attalids, the descendants of Attalus, father of Philetaerus who came to power in 281 BC following the collapse of the Kingdom of Thrace, were among the most loyal supporters of Rome in the Hellenistic world. Under Attalus I (241-197 BC), they allied with Rome against Philip V of Macedon, during the first and second Macedonian Wars, and again under Eumenes II (197-158 BC), against Perseus of Macedon, during the Third Macedonian War. For support against the Seleucids, the Attalids were rewarded with all the former Seleucid domains in Asia Minor.

The Attalids ruled with intelligence and generosity. Many documents survive showing how the Attalids would support the growth of towns through sending in skilled artisans and by remitting taxes. They allowed the Greek cities in their domains to maintain nominal independence. They sent gifts to Greek cultural sites like Delphi, Delos, and Athens. They defeated the invading Celts. They remodeled the Acropolis of Pergamon after the Acropolis in Athens. When Attalus III (138-133 BC) died without an heir in 133 BC he bequeathed the whole of Pergamon to Rome, in order to prevent a civil war.

According to Christian tradition, the first bishop of Pergamon, Antipas, was martyred there in ca. 92 AD. (Revelation 2:13)

The Ottoman Sultan Murad III had two large alabaster urns transported from the ruins of Pergamon and placed on two sides of the nave in the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.[1]

Churches on the Ness (33) by Scoonie

7 22

Its Sunday ! Post a Church .....Churches No. 33....

on the left the Old High Church, Inverness and on the right the Free North Church, Inverness

The Old High Church in Inverness is the oldest church in the city. It stands on St Michael's mound between Old Street and the bank of the River Ness, next to the Church of St John and close to a footbridge over the river. St Columba of Iona is said to have preached here and a church has been here since Celtic times.

Parts of the church tower date back to the 14th century, though most of the building dates from the 1700's with additions from the 1800's. At 8pm each night the church bells ring out for the curfew that was once imposed on the city. After the Battle of Culloden in 1746 the church was used as a prison and several prisoners were said to have been executed within the graveyard.

Free North Church of Scotland

Gothic church designed by Alexander Ross and completed 1893. Seating capacity is 1,500, making it the largest church in Inverness; it also has the tallest steeple. The internal woodwork is a special feature. The church has recently been extensively renovated and redecorated in the original colours.

Greig St Bridge

This was one of two long suspension footbridges built across the River Ness in Inverness in 1881, using the then-new technique of wire-rope suspension cables. At the time there was only one road bridge in Inverness, so these bridges offered welcome relief to pedestrians.

The bridge was built by the Rose Street Foundry, whose premises were nearby. This bridge, and the other 1881 bridge, Infirmary Bridge, were both overhauled in the 1990s, keeping largely to the original design.
