Heute zur Erinnerung zum 100. Geburtstag an den Architekten und Denkmalpfleger Erwin Schleich, der maßgeblich beim Wiederaufbau Münchens zahlreiche Bauten im Original wieder errichtet und somit wesentlich für die Erhaltung des historischen Stadtbildes von München beigetragen hat, wie zum Beispiel mit dem Wiederaufbau des Alten Peter (zusammen mit Rudolf Esterer), der Heilig-Geist-Kirche, dem Alten Rathausturm und vielen anderen historischen Gebäuden.
Die Pfarrkirche Sankt Peter, deren Turm im Volksmund Alter Peter genannt wird und zu Münchens Wahrzeichen zählt, ist die älteste erwähnte Pfarrkirche Münchens und vermutlich der Ursprung Münchens überhaupt.

Erwin Schleich wurde 1986 vom Deutschen Nationalkomitee für Denkmalschutz der Deutschen Preis für Denkmalschutz - die Silberne Halbkugel - verliehen.
Der Entwurf der Silbernen Halbkugel stammt vom Künstler Fritz Koenig.
In die Schlagzeilen kam Fritz Koenig nach dem 11. September 2001 durch die von ihm geschaffene große Kugelkaryatide. Die goldene Kugel mit dem Werknamen "The Sphere" überstand schwer beschädigt den Einsturz der Türme des World Trade Centers. Im Inneren der aufgerissenen Kugel wurden unter anderem Wrackteile der in die Türme gestürzten Flugzeuge gefunden. Am 11. März 2002 wurde die Skulptur als temporäres Mahnmal im New Yorker Battery Park aufgestellt.
Day 01: Arrival at Siem Reap
Upon arrival, you will be greeted at Siem Reap International Airport and transferred to a hotel by our driver for check-in and relax after long flight journey. Dinner and overnight in Siem Reap.
Day 2: Siem Reap tour (B/L/D)
Morning: After breakfast at hotel, you will be met by our guide and taken to the South Gate of Angkor Thom. Both sides of the south gate have a demon and a god statue, who are holding the King Cobra called Naga Vasuki. Keep traveling to Bayon complex. Explore this important temple with its many captivating giant stone faces. It has 54 towers in total and each tower has four faces. It is at the center of Angkor Thom. Walking out from the north entrance towards Baphoun and then passing by Phimeanakas, with its beautiful lakes, you will then find yourself at the Elephant Terrace. This used to be the audient hall for the king. Back to town for lunch.
Afternoon: Continue to visit your temple tour to the unique interior brick sculptures of Prasat Kravan, Srah Srang ("The Royal Baths" was once used for ritual bathing), Banteay Kdei (surrounded by 4 concentric walls), and Ta Prohm (as known Tomb Raider Movie Temple) with its exciting interplay of stonework, nature, big tree and root cover on top of temple. Back to hotel for dinner
Day3: Banteay Srey, Rolous and Kampung Pluk
After nreakfast,keep going to visit Banteay Srei temple, the pink sandstone construction temple built by king Rajendravarman V in late 10th century. Walls of Banteay Srei temple its self are densely covered with some of the most beautiful, deep and intricate carving of any Angkorian Temple. Then going to Rolouse Group ( Hariharalaya ) including Preah Ko temple erected by Indravaravan I in the late 9th century dedicated by the king and his ancestors in 880, Bakong temple the largest and the most interesting of the Rolouse Group temples, with his active Buddhist monastery just to the north of the east entrence and Lolei temple, the four brick towers. After that, go to Floating forest (kompong pluck), a village located about 25 km east of Chhong Kneas. This village is only accessible by boat. Many consider Kompong Phluk more interesting than Chhong Kneas because of its “floating forest”. Kompong Phluk also differs itself from Chhong Kneas because its people are living in houses that are surrounded by water while Chhong Kneas is a floating community that lives on boats.
Day 4: Siem Reap-Angkor Wat (B/L/D)

Its distinctive five towers are emblazoned on the Cambodian flag and the 12th century masterpiece is considered by art historians to be the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture. Angkor Wat's five towers symbolize Meru's five peaks - the enclosed wall represents the mountains at the edge of the world and the surrounding moat, the ocean beyond. Back to hotel for lunch

St. Leonard's Street, West Malling, Kent, 21 Sep 2010. The Startled Saint used to be the local pub for the airmen stationed at nearby RAF West Malling. Sadly both the pub and the airfield have closed and been converted.
A C16-C17 timber-framed and plastered house. Restored and renovated in the C20 with modern doors and windows but in style. A narrow gabled 3 storeyed wing projects on the front, probably a staircase wing added in the C17. The upper storey is jettied on the north-west end of the front on either side of the wing, on exposed joists. The timber-framing is exposed on most of the south-west and north-west fronts. The house is mainly 2 storeys. The windows are casements with leaded lights. 2 gabled porches project on the front. The porches and the 3 storey wing have carved bargeboards (C20), to an old design. At the south-east end a slightly lower wing extends, probably this was originally a granary or outbuilding, but now converted to become part of the dwelling. The wing at the rear on the north-west end has a large external chimney stack with tabled offsets. Roofs tiled, hipped at the north-west and south-east ends. EH Listing

A British fort in the French and Indiana war era, 1758 - 1766. an important post which served as a passage to Fort Pitt in present day Pittsburgh, PA. The fort was never taken by the enemy. Actual artifacts from the battle fought here have been found and are on display. Very interesting.

Église Saint-Germain.
La partie orientale de la nef date de la 2e moitié du 11e siècle.
Le chœur, puis le transept sud ont été construits dans la 1ère moitié du 12e siècle.
La croisée et le transept nord dans le 3e quart du 12e siècle.
La nef a été allongée et voûtée, le clocher construit dans la 1ère moitié du 13e siècle.
La travée est de la nef est revoûtée dans la 1ère moitié du 16e siècle.
La flèche tors du clocher date de 1693.
La sacristie est du 19e siècle
On remarque la façade avec les arcatures décoratives. L'arcade aveugle est un des motifs ornementaux favoris des bâtisseurs romans. La disposition est similaire à celle de la façade de l'église Notre Dame d'Autheuil (Orne), mais postérieure. La moulure d'appui des arcades (la base des arcades) est au niveau des impostes* de l'arcade du portail.
Cette église, classée monument historique, construite à plusieurs reprises, deviendra au cours des siècles (du XIème au XVème) de style gothique Plantagenêt. Une intéressante église d'Anjou remarquée par le Viollet-le-Duc:
"Pendant que dans l'Île de France et les provinces voisines, à la fin du XIIe siècle, on ne faisait que des voûtes en arcs ogives croisés d'arcs doubleaux, c'est à dire engendrées toujours par un plan carré et fermées par des triangles de remplissage biais (...), on cherchait dans l'Ouest, à obtenir la même légèreté réelle et apparente, mais toujours en conservant quelque chose de la coupole.
Il existe près de Saumur, une petite église qui indique de la manière la plus évidente les in,certitudes des constructeurs de l'Ouest entre les innovations des architectes du domaine royal et les traditions de l'aquitaine : c'est l'église de Mouliherne; les deux systèmes sont en présence." (Viollet-le-Duc, Dictionnaire raisonné de l’architecture française du XIe au XVIe siècle, 1854-1868, tome 4.djvu/117)
Un chemin pavé médiéval d'origine gauloise, part de l'église et descend vers la Riverolle jusqu'au pont du Val.
*Une imposte est une pierre située à la base de l'arc. L'imposte, en pierre dure, reçoit la retombée de l'arc.
De Luimertingenmolen, aan de Luimertingenstraat in Kortessem, werd al in 1293 vermeld. Tot in 1945 werd in de watermolen aan de samenloop van de Mombeek en de Winterbeek met waterkracht gemalen, waarna een dieselmotor tot in 1963 de taak overnam. Het onderslagrad en het sluiswerk zijn verdwenen. Het vroegere molenhuis, uitgevoerd in vakwerk, is omgebouwd tot woonhuis. In 2008 werd de Luimertingenmolen beschermd als monument.

The Theatre of Marcellus (Latin: Theatrum Marcelli, Italian: Teatro di Marcello) is an ancient open-air theatre in Rome, Italy, built in the closing years of the Roman Republic. At the theatre, locals and visitors alike were able to watch performances of drama and song. Today its ancient edifice in the rione of Sant'Angelo, Rome, once again provides one of the city's many popular spectacles or tourist sites. It was named after Marcus Marcellus, Emperor Augustus's nephew, who died five years before its completion. Space for the theatre was cleared by Julius Caesar, who was murdered before it could be begun; the theatre was so far advanced by 17 BC that part of the celebration of the ludi saeculares took place within the theatre; it was completed in 13 BC and formally inaugurated in 12 BC by Augustus.
The theatre was 111 m in diameter; it could originally hold 11,000 spectators. It was an impressive example of what was to become one of the most pervasive urban architectural forms of the Roman world. The theatre was built mainly of tuff, and concrete faced with stones in the pattern known as opus reticulatum, completely sheathed in white travertine. The network of arches, corridors, tunnels and ramps that gave access to the interiors of such Roman theaters were normally ornamented with a screen of engaged columns in Greek orders: Doric at the base, Ionic in the middle. It is believed that Corinthian columns were used for the upper level but this is uncertain as the theater was reconstructed in the Middle Ages, removing the top tier of seating and the columns.
Like other Roman theaters in suitable locations, it had openings through which the natural setting could be seen, in this case the Tiber Island to the southwest. The permanent setting, the scaena, also rose to the top of the cavea as in other Roman theaters.

1898, W. & G. Audsley. This distinctive building fits loosely within the Classical Revival movement of the day but has a bit of an Egyptian look. The AIA guide says, "'Eclectic' was invented for stylistic collections such as this." It housed the White Star Line offices in New York; Cunard was right next door. This was where the traveling public came to book passage.

Two of my own personal favourite buildings in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.
Nearest the camera is the Georgian splendour of Elswitha Hall, named after Elswitha, wife of King Alfred the Great, and from the Gainii tribe who inhabited the area. They were, by tradition married in the Town in 868. Elswitha hall, built in 1759, is Grade 2* listed.
Just beyond is the former Gainsborough Urban Distric Council offices known as the Guildhall, opened in 1966. The Guildhall is the work of Local architect Neil Taylor, and is sadly unnocupied and under threat of demolition.

Ermita (Spanish for "hermitage") Church takes its name from the fact that there once stood on this site a shrine and hermitage dedicated to a greatly venerated image of the Virgin Mary called Nuestra Senora de Guia, or Our Lady of Guidance. Legend has it that the image was found on a pandan bush along the shore of Manila Bay on the evening of May 19, 1571 - the day the Spanish colonizers took over Manila. The image, believed to be miraculous, is still housed in this church

Bibi Ka Maqbara (Urdu: بیبی كا مقبرا, Hindi, Marathi: बीबी का मकबरा) is a maqbara built by Prince Azam Shah, son of Emperor Aurangzeb,one of the Mughal Emperors, in the late 17th century as a loving tribute to his mother, Rabia Durrani alias Dilras Banu Begum. The comparison to the Taj Mahal has resulted in a general ignorance of the monument. This monument is also called the Dakkhani Taj or the Taj of the Deccan.Originally planned to rival the Taj Mahal (but was prevented from doing so due to budgetary constraints--Aurangzeb gave Azam Shah Rs. 7,00,000 only for the construction, where Taj Mahal's cost was 32 million Rupees approximately).It is situated in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. The tomb in itself represents the transition from the ostentatious architecture of Akbar and Shah Jahan to the simple architecture of the later Mughals.
After successful completion of the Phase-I of the Ajanta-Ellora Conservation and Tourism Development Project with loan assistance from the Japan Bank of International Cooperation (JBIC), the works for Phase-II have been taken up. An integrated programme of comprehensive conservation, chemical preservation and overall environment development of Bibi-ka-Maqbara along with various other monuments has been taken up in Phase-II of the project with an outlay of Rs.37.68 crores.
