Heage Windmill, Heage, Derbyshire UK
A little excursion to do something a little different. Here's one from my trip today to Heage Windmill.
Who would of thought that hundreds of years ago, the science of "Airfoil Technologies" was being developed on the ground.
This is a six sail mill - an unusual thing in itself and comes complete with it's own shuttering system - the prior technology was cloth sails that had to be battened during strong winds.
An interesting place and a lovely walk amongst some of Derbyshire's wonderful rolling countryside.

We realized the the day was slowly drawing to a close as we drifted over the Thames toward St. Paul's. A brief chat on how to cap off the day's tour, and it was decided that we should head over to London's newer architectural enclave, Canary Wharf. Glass and steel awaited in abundance.
Shortly after taking this photo, we were approached by police, who politely advised us not to use our cameras in the area. There were many officers patrolling the area.

John Wastell, the last and perhaps most brilliant master mason who worked on King's, took charge in 1508. He is the architect of the beautiful fan vaulting – 'the noblest stone ceiling in existence' – which was built in just three years between 1512 and 1515.

British Colonial Style Architecture of this Bungalow in Bengaluru reflects about the past history of this city.
The Bungalow type, which developed in India and later spread to Australia and Africa, was derived from the detached rural Bengal house placed in a compound and the British suburban villa. The elementary plan of the bungalow was the porch, the verandah, the drawing and dining rooms with bedrooms on the sides and the service annexes in the rear yard.
