I had been trying to capture this image for quite some time. Timing of the day, low lights, too much wind, any number of things always stood in the way. During a rather fun Purdue Photography Club trip to Chicago, I finally got my twighlight skyline of Chicago from Shedd.
Speke Hall is a wood-framed wattle-and-daub Tudor manor house in Speke, Liverpool, England. It is one of the finest surviving examples of its kind.
Construction of the current building began in 1530.
The house belongs to the National Trust and is open to the public.
Grade 1 Listed.

The Walhalla is a hall of fame that honours laudable and distinguished people in German history – "politicians, sovereigns, scientists and artists of the German tongue";[1] Built decades before the foundation of the modern German state in 1871 and the formation of a modern German identity, "German" was initially understood as "Germanic", and included ancient Germanic (Gothic, Vandal, Lombardic, Anglo-Saxon) as well as medieval Dutch, Swedish and Russian figures. The hall is a neo-classical building above the Danube River, in Donaustauf, east of Regensburg in Bavaria.
The Walhalla is named for the Valhalla of Norse Paganism. It was conceived in 1807 by Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria in order to support the gathering momentum for the unification of the many German states. Following his accession to the throne of Bavaria, construction took place between 1830 and 1842 under the supervision of the architect Leo von Klenze. The memorial displays some 65 plaques and 130 busts covering 2,000 years of history, beginning with Arminius, victor at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in AD 9.

In der Gedenkstätte Walhalla in Donaustauf im bayerischen Landkreis Regensburg werden – ursprünglich auf Veranlassung des bayerischen Königs Ludwig I. – seit 1842 bedeutende Persönlichkeiten „teutscher Zunge“ mit Marmorbüsten und Gedenktafeln geehrt. Benannt ist sie nach Walhall, der Halle der Gefallenen in der nordischen Mythologie. Der Architekt war Leo von Klenze.
Zur Eröffnung im Jahre 1842 wurden 160 Personen mit 96 Büsten und, in den Fällen fehlender authentischer Abbildungen oder bei Handlungen wie dem Rütlischwur, 64 Gedenktafeln geehrt. Gegenwärtig umfasst die Sammlung 131 Büsten und 65 Gedenktafeln, die an Personen, Taten und Gruppen erinnern. 13 der Geehrten sind Frauen. Seit 1962 werden die ursprünglich 96 Büsten in Abständen von fünf bis sieben Jahren wieder ergänzt. Die Auswahl erfolgt durch den bayerischen Ministerrat auf Empfehlung der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften.

Final Cutz Barber Shop, 253 North 5th Street, Reading, Pennsylvania. This building looks abandoned aside from the barbershop. Actually, the barbershop looks abandoned too.
What is today the Benares Historic House traces itself to 1837, when some original sections and outbuildings were constructed. The main house as it is seen today is from 1857. Originally home to four generations of the Harris and Sayers Family, today it is a museum in the City of Mississauga after the house and almost all of its contents were donated by the great-grandchildren of Captain Harris. Opened in 1995 as a public museum, the house is representative to what it would have looked like during the First World War.

Although I loved riding the double-decker buses in London, what I enjoyed even more were the many hours of walking we did - usually with no specific destination in mind. One of those walks took us past this row of beautiful, red brick houses near Harrods. I love the detailing / character.
