The Tovar colony was founded by German settlers in 1843 and was more or less isolated until the road was constructed in the 1960's. The colony is famous for its week-end markeds. To get to the colony you have to climb the road going up the hillside, and the colony is located about 1800m above sealevel. The town has retained much of its original architecture, and gives a typical impression of buildingstyle found in the southern region of Germany, Most of the original settlers came from the Schwartzwald (Black forest) reagion in South Germany.
My entry to the Direct-2-Customer Contest, over at Eurobricks:
Set nr. 10223 - The Final Ruines, an Atlantis-exclusive.
I wanted to give it a real set'y touch, by not having it look like a MOC at all.
So I copied the buildingstyle of sets like the Taj Mahal and the Imperial Flagship.
I didn't want to have only one building, but some more accesoires: that why I added
a little temple and statue. I also threw in huge amounts of silly pieces, like the pearl
gold round plates and the 1x4x2 arches in white.
This is what I wished the whole Atlantis-line looked like. I don't want red and limegreen
submarines! I want temples! I want Greek houses! I want the real Atlantis!
2020.08.26 - A wide range of building styles here.. Olympic Stadium (Ribbed roof) itself, the Biodome (Glass roof) in the background and the Montreal Planetarium (Silver domes) up front & finally the Centre Pierre Charbonneau (slanted roof on the left). Out of sight behind me to the right is Saputo Stadium as well.

Schon wenn man vor dem Haus steht fühlt man sich in eine andere Zeit versetzt, denn die Chronik des Hotel Gasthof zur Post reicht auch schon eine Weile zurück. Über dem Eingang ziert ein zwölf Meter langes Gemälde von 1618 die Hauswand. Es erzählt eine Jagdgeschichte aus jener Zeit. Teile der Fassade sind über 700 Jahre alt und legen Zeugnis von der faszinierenden Handwerkskunst des Mittelalters ab. Die Chronik des Hotels Gasthof zur Post ist im Detail eine wahrlich faszinierende.
Die Fundamente stammen aus dem Jahr 1330. 1415 erhielt man die Erlaubnis zum Bier ausschenken. Lange Zeit diente der Gasthof als Poststation, daher auch der Name.
Rincon Hill, one of San Francisco's most historic neighborhoods, offers a rich tapestry of architectural styles that narrate the city's evolution. This area juxtaposes early 20th-century brick warehouses with sleek, contemporary high-rises. The iconic Salesforce Tower looms in the background, representing the modern tech-driven cityscape, while the classic brick facades of older buildings hint at a bygone industrial era. This blend of old and new creates a visually captivating skyline that captures San Francisco's dynamic spirit. Notably, the area's redevelopment has been guided by principles that preserve historical elements while accommodating cutting-edge designs. The neighborhood's architectural diversity and proximity to the Bay make it a fascinating study in urban adaptation, embodying the juxtaposition of heritage and innovation that defines San Francisco's unique architectural identity.
