As you can see, we visited Liberty Square (arriving late), made our way to Brooklyn Bridge (Church st, Vesey, Park Row) Marchers at Centre & Chambers were then blocked from south by cops who came tearing in from Vesey (4:05-11). We couldn't reach them (and looking at the nervy cops, didn't want to), so we went down Frankfort as march entered the bridge. Cops had by that time (c.4:15) blocked FDR & Pearl Street entrances to bridge on both sides. Cops were telling motorists on Pearl that Protesters were blocking the bridge (c. 4:17). Literally at the moment marchers entered the bridge. Exit/ entrance stairs were blocked by cops (so no exit allowed from ped walkway). From below we could see only cars, no peds, on south roadway (c. 4:15-20).
From that point we moved to South Street Mall (third level) to get view of whole bridge. At that point data service on AT&T -- which had been nothing, not even E while voice had five bars -- returned. Saw arrests, police helio (only: at one point c. 6pm a press helio arrived. Stayed ~ 1 min before police helio returned and press fled or were ordered by traffic control, up the East R out of sight at rapid clip), At that point busses appeared on bridge to take arrestees: we could identify six in all. Also post helio incident, s police patrol boat positioned south of bridge, and tourist boats and other small craft made 180 degree turns both north and south out of area. Assuming there were radio orders at that time to clear river of civilian craft.
Took pictures and monitored updates till 7pm, arrived Liberty Sq 7:20, via Wall Street. On Wall pairs of cops stationed at every building entrance, four plus a whiteshirt at the Trump building, all looking v worried.
On return to Liberty Sq, cordoned by uniforms, as huge crowd sang and fraternized w cops. White shirts then pulled back cops c 8pm, riot squad groups appeared around corner south on Bway. After reportbacks at sq, we returned to Ferry via Greenwich & State. EVERY tiny side street had police vans up them, EVERY corner down to ferry had a uniform stationed at corner. The Police presence in whole of downtown smothering, including cameras mounted on main avenues, "terror" barriers around Wall, french barricades along every street in area, including tourists blocked from approaching Wall Street Bull (well south of Wall) with four cops stationed to "protect" it from when we arrived (3pm) to when we left (8:30pm)

Arcadia, OK—AUG 16, 2010
• Route 66 •
Arcadia’s Round Barn was built in 1898 by William Harrison Odor, his family, and neighbors. Each rafter of green lumber was soaked in water, then shaped in a special jig to form the curve of the roof. The lower level was used to shelter cattle, mules and hay. The upper level or loft was used for barn dances and other social gatherings. After years of hard use followed by years of neglect the barn was in bad shape. In 1988 the barn was donated to the Arcadia Historical and Preservation Society. The barn was restored by Luther Robinson, a retired contractor from Oklahoma City, with the help of the volunteer group known as the over-the-hill-gang (most were over 65 years of age). It sits proudly today alongside old Route 66 and is arguably the most famous landmark on the highway. Route 66 officially opened on November 11, 1926, coinciding with Armistice Day.
Partially hidden by the stanchion, centre right, the railway staff member hurries across to tell me to "gerr'art'of it" or words to that effect in french. There were no signs anywhere forbidding entry to the old platform but it was more than his jobsworth to let me into that part of the station to get a photo.
St Andrew's church at Bredwardine dates largely from the 12th century and is a long, tunnel-like building comprising nave, chancel and north tower (which was added in 1790).
The most outstanding features here are the two early Romanesque carved lintels on both the south and (now blocked) north doorways, both bearing geometric designs plus some strange figures on the latter.
Inside the church are a large, plain Norman font and two damaged effigies of knights in the 13th century chancel.
Designed by Connell, Ward and Lucas in 1936-7; the most uncompromising of all the modernist examples in hampstead. According to National Trust literature, it caused a furore when it was proposed among all the neo-Georgian houses.

The Pleasant Street Wesleyan Methodist Church, built in Ballarat's Pleasant Street, was completed in 1867 for the princely sum of £1700.00 The price and the Methodist Church's grandeur shows how the Wesleyan Methodist congregation had grown in both size and wealth as Ballarat's gold rush grew.
The Pleasant Street Wesleyan Methodist Church was designed by local architect J. A. Doane and has been built in Victorian Academic Gothic style. Built of red brick with a tiled roof, the church has clear architectural elements associated with the Gothic style including flying buttresses that define structural bays, a steeply pitched roof, a parapeted gable and narrow windows. It is an almost exact replica of the second Wesleyan Methodist Church, built in Neil Street in the Ballarat suburb of Soldier's Hill, and incidentally was also completed in 1867. In 1886, additions for choir purposes were made to the church, after designs by prolific Ballarat architect Charles Douglas Figgis, who also designed the adjoining Victorian Romanesque Sunday School.
Gothic architecture was perceived by the pious Victorians as an expression of religious, and therefore, moral values. Its revival was thus seen as virtuous and equated with moral revival. For this reason an ecclesiastical character was predominant.
Charles Douglas Figgis (1849 - 1895) also designed the Ballarat Presbyterian church, the former Ballarat Congregational Church, the former Ballarat Mining Exchange and the Geelong Club amongst many other buildings during his short life.
