Built around 1804 on the site of an ancient tavern, The Grapes is one of the oldest pubs in Liverpool. It has, perhaps unintentionally, become an arty haunt, with punters just as likely to be found discussing Derrida as football.
The pub claims that their Jazz Con Fusion is now the longest running uninterrupted jazz night in the city too, if real ales and a good selection of rum isn’t quite enough to convince you to seek out The Grapes. There’s a beer garden too, and the location is pleasantly quiet, far from the chaos of the city centre nightlife hotspots.
You’ll find it on one of the side streets surrounding the Bombed Out Church and it’s perhaps its proximity to the School of Art and Design and university halls that’s responsible for the arty crowd. There are lots of plant pots outside, creating something of a boozy oasis in an otherwise residential street. It’s a pleasant enough pub to have a drink or three, whether you’re enjoying the outdoor ambiance of a warm summer evening or having a cosy date night inside.

Known inhabitants of Warsaw silhouette "crippled" the tower, visible from the bridge of Maria Sklodowska-Curie, is the most distinctive building belonging to the Houses factory Stare Swidry. The houses factory is already inoperative plant, which produced large prefabricated concrete elements for the construction of blocks of flats. Launched in the 50 factory he worked until the early 90s of the last century. An area of approximately 40 hectares located said the skyscraper, huge silos, factory halls and many other buildings and structures. Currently working in the area a few companies in the sectors of construction and cleaning service but here it is difficult to see any positive effects of their activities. Certainly nothing here for a long time not built or cleaned. Most of the objects is not currently used and is fatal in the state. Place certainly is mysterious and fascinating unfortunately collapsing roofs and holes in floors, make it is not safe because no one is unlikely to grant permission to explore. The property is guarded. Regulars of this area say that in the largest factory hall and adjacent to it "gap-toothed" skyscraper continues preparation for demolition but nobody talks about the relationship with some planned investments. Rather, it looks as if operating in the company systematically process another buildings to aggregate. In addition to the tower, and several large not yet demolished factory halls are located in the area of smaller buildings and also quite large and multi-storey but not like factory halls but rather some workshops or perhaps office. In addition to the halls and offices in the area are various mysterious structures probably in connection with the formerly conducted business here.
Such places are less in our city. Rising land prices make it disappear and in their place created new housing, public buildings and even shopping malls. Perhaps someday a similar fate old houses factory and probably good because although mysterious and intriguing, is not the pride of our city and residents in no way serves. The construction companies and cleaning, though much needed, we would have liked to see a little further from our estates.

Founded as a Benedictine abbey in 1092, Dedicated to Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary, The original church was built in the Romanesque or Norman style, parts of which can still be seen today. This church was subsequently rebuilt from around 1250 onward in the Gothic style, a process which took about 275 years and resulted in the incredible structure seen today.

This landmark bridge at Singapore’s Marina Bay is inspired by the geometric arrangement of DNA, with a walkway encircled by opposing double helix structures of stainless steel.
Located in the heart of Singapore as a connection between Marina Bay and Marina Centre, the Helix Bridge stands out through its unusual yet spectacular structure. The bridge was constructed in 2010 and it’s the longest pedestrian bridge in the country and the first bridge built in the shape of a double helix – hence its name.
The Helix Bridge is an engineering masterpiece, combining steel and struts in a design that symbolizes “Yin and Yang”. It is also very efficient, as it incorporates 5 times less steel than any other box girder bridge. Its creators meant for it to resemble the structure of DNA. How so? Well, the structure features pairs of the letters c, g, a and t – the initials of the four main components of DNA. The locals will tell you that this 280-meter long pedestrian linkway brings prosperity and peace to Marina Bay.
Walking on the bridge you will catch one of the most spectacular views of what is known to be Asia’s New York. There are 4 pods with a capacity of 100 people each where you can get a 360° view of the Singapore skyline. During the day, you will be protected from the sun by glass and steel canopies and have a chance to rest on one of the seating places. At night, the Helix Bridge is even more spectacular because of the colorful LED lights combined in the helix. The floor is also illuminated and glass portions allow the visitors to look at the Singapore River below. It’s a very popular attraction, but you shouldn’t worry about safety when there are too many tourists walking on it: it can support more than 10,000 passengers at once.
The Helix Bridge displays the artwork of the Singaporean youth; competitions are held for those who want to showcase their pieces on the bridge.
When visiting Singapore, it’s impossible to miss the Helix Bridge as it is surrounded by the most fascinating attractions of the city-state: Singapore Flyer, the Art Science Museum, Esplanade-Theaters and Marina Bay Integrated Resort.

Plas Newydd is a historic house in the town of Llangollen, Denbighshire, Wales, and was the home of the Ladies of Llangollen, Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, for nearly 50 years they set up house together in the late 18th century, scandalising contemporary British society. Plas Newydd was originally a five-roomed stone cottage, but over the years it was enlarged to include many Gothic features. Although originally ostracised by their families, the ladies and their unconventional lifestyle gradually became accepted, and their home was visited by many famous people including Robert Southey, William Wordsworth, Caroline Lamb and Sir Walter Scott, the Duke of Wellington and the industrialist Josiah Wedgwood. The original cottage was expanded by the ladies, and then again by subsequent owners in the 19th century. It is now restored to essentially the final structure left by the ladies.

Illuminated by a blend of ambient and artificial light, sunset shimmers off the Dallas skyline as the city is reflected back in the flooded Trinity River. As the sun dips below the horizon, Bank of America Plaza (centered) reflects deep yellows and pastel greens, while lights on the iconic Reunion Tower (left) are just beginning to turn on for the evening, bringing the city to life as the night quickly approaches.(Photo by Stephen Masker)

The Shropshire Union Canal meets the Manchester Ship Canal and the River Mersey, this transshipment dock, once a noisy, bustling hub is now an area of calm and tranquillity.
It was built by Thomas Telford who engaged William Jessop, a renowned canal engineer to act as consultant to the project. The canal was built to accommodate 14-foot wide vessels so that coastal flats could gain more direct access to Chester from the Mersey. This can be seen from the wide locks which were completed in 1796. The narrower locks alongside were added in about 1835 when this canal branch was finally connected to the national canal network which extended to Birmingham and beyond.

A nice timber barn being built on Jay Road in Boulder, Colorado.
This one is being constructed by Mid West Custom Timber Frames. Most of the pieces are cut to measure at the factory so that the site construction is fast. I was told that this is definitey NOT a pole barn, it's a timber barn.
The arched memebers are laminated white oak. The large vertical timbers are red oak. Notice the abscence of the metal joints.
Its hard to dee the man in the middle of the photo, but he is placing a pice that is notched out on both sides of the member it's connecting too. This is real craftmanship.
