The Boxdorf Windmill is a former windmill built in 1849 in Boxdorf, a district of Moritzburg.
Until 1652, the Boxdorfer and the Reichenberger farmers had to grind their grain in the Plauenschen soil and in the (somewhat closer) Ockrilla Lease Mill. With the Saxon Constitution of 1831, the grinding force fell away.
The first mill at this site, a wooden pint mill, was built in 1839 by the miller Münch from Zuendorf on the Boxdorf Galgenberg (also: Gallberg). The grinding mill was able to grind eight to ten talents of flour daily. In 1847, the mill was sold to Müller Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer from Weferlingen near Magdeburg. The mill burned down in a thunderstorm in 1849 in full operation.
Friedrich Wilhelm sold the remains to his brother Heinrich Christoph Seeländer and ran the Loschwitz watermill himself. Heinrich Christoph rebuilt the mill in 1849 as a stone, defensive-tower-like Dutch mill. This is testified by a sandstone with an engraved year above the original entrance door. Six years later Friedrich Wilhelm returned to Boxdorf in 1855 and took over the mill again from his brother. Around 1860 the house belonging to the mill was probably destroyed by arson. The existing residential building was then built.
In the German War of 1866, the Saxon Army, allied with Austria, gathered near Dresden and occupied the mill. The miller was no longer allowed to grind grain as a pressing.
Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer died in 1877 as a result of a war suffering. Since his descendants had other professions or were too young, the mill came into foreign hands. Friedrich Hermann Müller bought the mill with three meals and a bakery for 11,100 marks. A lightning strike on 27 June 1887 did not result in a fire. Nevertheless, the roof, wings and wave were destroyed. Since in the meantime more efficient working machinery companies had taken over the business, a repair was no longer worthwhile. The mill came to a standstill.
The owner Müller was granted a concession for coffee and beer serving in 1890. Müller opened an economy and on the tower of the mill a wooden observation deck. This was replaced in 1904 by the still existing stone structure with pinnacles.
In 1921 Paul Gantze purchased the mill and had an electric grinding plant reached inside. He moved the banquet to the neighbouring apartment building. In 1927 he built a small hall. The property became a popular excursion restaurant that was in operation until the 1950s.
Built in 1824 and rebuit in 1884 the bridge is now closed to vehicular traffic due to its weakening structural integrity. The bridge was built prior to the current age of motorised traffic.

The first town, built by Celts in the first century BC, occupied about 30 hectares along the slopes of Gellért Hill. Archaeological finds suggest that it may have been a densely populated settlement with a separate district of craftsmen (potteries and bronze foundries). It may have been a trading centre as well, as coins coming from different regions would indicate. The town was occupied by the Romans at the beginning of the Christian era. Its inhabitants moved to the Danube plains to a city retaining the Celtic name (Aquincum) in the first century AD. In AD 106, the city became the capital of the Roman province of Pannonia Inferior. The headquarters of the governor and significant military force were stationed here, and its population numbered about 20,000. It was frequently involved in wars on the border of the Roman Empire (formed by the Danube River).
The city of Budapest was officially created on 17 November 1873 from a merger of the three neighboring cities of Pest, Buda and Óbuda. Smaller towns on the outskirts of the original city were amalgamated into Greater Budapest in 1950. ( wikipedia )
The Cesme Castle was ordered built in 1508 by the Ottoman Sultan Beyazit II. The castle was built on the waterfront but because the sea has subsequently been filled there is currently a road passing in front of it. The edifice has recently undergone a successful renovation and you will witness a typical Ottoman castle. By climbing up the stairs on either side you will reach the top where you can view a 360 degree panoramic view of Cesme. (1)
Çeşme [ˈtʃeʃme] is a coastal town and the administrative centre of the district of the same name in Turkey's westernmost end, on a promontory on the tip of the peninsula which also carries the same name and which extends inland to form a whole with the wider Karaburun Peninsula. It is a popular holiday resort and the district center, where two thirds of the district population is concentrated. Çeşme is located 85 km west of İzmir, the largest metropolitan center in Turkey's Aegean Region. The name "Çeşme" means "fountain" and possibly draws reference from the many Ottoman fountains that are scattered across the city. (2)

The Lincoln Tomb and War Memorials State Historic Site is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Similarly built to Mercat Crosses found across Scotland, the Culross iteration dates back to the 17th century. Though rebuilt in 1902 to preserve its integrity, the cross marks the heart of the town. Its cubical head has four distinctive sides, including the Culross coat of arms, the initials and coat of arms of its restorer, and a monogram for King James VI, alongside a unicorn – Scotland’s national animal.
The monastery complex was built in the 11th century. Probably funded by Kazimierz the Restorer. The facilities were built of granite and limestone available in the area. The hill and buildings were surrounded by a stone wall and rebuilt many times. Another reconstruction was made in the 15th century, which gave the monastery and the church gothic features. The church and monastery are covered with stellar and crystal vaults.
Under the entire complex there is a group of cellars covered with rocker vaults. It is one of the best preserved underground rooms from the Romanesque era in Poland. Particularly noteworthy is the "lower church" with a stone Romanesque altar.
The interior of the "upper church" comes from the 18th century reconstruction and represents mainly the Rococo and Baroque styles.

Zespół klasztorny został zbudowany w XI wieku. Prawdopodobnie ufundowany przez Kazimierza Odnowiciela. Obiekty zostały wzniesione z granitu i wapienia dostępnego w okolicy. Wzgórze i budynki były otoczone kamiennym murem i wielokrotnie przebudowywano. W XV w. dokonano kolejnej rekonstrukcji, która nadała klasztorowi i kościołowi cechy gotyckie. Kościół i klasztor pokrywają gwiaździste i kryształowe sklepienia.
Pod całym kompleksem znajduje się zespół piwnic pokrytych sklepieniami kołyskowymi. Jest to jedno z najlepiej zachowanych w Polsce podziemnych pomieszczeń z epoki romańskiej. Szczególnie godnym uwagi jest "dolny kościół" z kamiennym romańskim ołtarzem.
Wnętrze "górnego kościoła" pochodzi z okresu przebudowy XVIII w. i reprezentuje głównie styl rokokowy i barokowy.

Rising tall above ONR's Temagami Subdivision in the "Town That Silver Built", the Right-of-Way Mine headframe pays silent vigil as a trio of EMD's scream through Cobalt, Ont., with Englehart-bound tonnage in tow.
If you should ever find yourself in Cobalt, a visit to the Miner's Tavern is a must; the mysteries of this once-prosperous mining town, and the proud heritage that lies within, can be felt around every corner in the lore-filled barroom.
I walked the world afar
Built up a thousand walls
To try and hide away
I searched to find my soul
A journey far from home
Lost in a life I'd made
And I'd been 'round in circles
Living for the moment
I know I ran so far
Was acting kind of crazy
Coming up with empty
Felt like I lost my heart
Now I've found a love that
Is clearer than the deep blue skies
It's true You were right there
I can see it in the days gone by
I see You in the days gone by
Your promise never left my side
I know sometimes I tried to give up
Still You caught me when I fell from high
I see You in the days gone by
You took my fragile fate
And didn't hesitate
Your love in every scar
Passion with no restraints
Held back the darkest days
So now my life is Yours
You've got me when I'm broken
You're with me when I'm hopeless
I know You're never far
Your mercy has no ending
It perseveres unfailing
You'll always have my heart
Now I've found a love that
Is clearer than the deep blue skies
It's true You were right there
I can see it in the days gone by
I see You in the days gone by
Your promise never left my side
I know sometimes I tried to give up
Still You caught me when I fell from high
I see You in the days gone by
See You in the days gone by
See You in the days gone by
And I need You everyday 'cause
I see You in the days gone by
Your promise never left my side
I know sometimes I tried to give up
Still You caught me when I fell from high
I see You in the days gone by

The Royal Exhibition Building is a World Heritage Site-listed building in Melbourne, Australia, completed in 1880. It was built to host the Melbourne International Exhibition in 1880–81 and later hosted (in the Western annex) the opening of the first Parliament of Australia in 1901. Throughout the 20th century smaller sections and wings of the building were subject to demolition and fire; however, the main building, known as the Great Hall, survived.
It received restoration throughout the 1990s and in 2004 became the first building in Australia to be awarded UNESCO World Heritage status, being one of the last remaining major 19th-century exhibition buildings in the world. It is the world's most complete surviving site from the International Exhibition movement 1851–1914. It sits adjacent to the Melbourne Museum and is the largest item in Museum Victoria's collection. Today, the building hosts various exhibitions and other events and is closely tied with events at the Melbourne Museum. Architect was Joseph Reed.

The Community Hall was built as the United Free Church to the design of JD Cairns in 1908 . It was built on the site of a previous, smaller United Free church, following a union with Crail West Church (now Holy Trinity Catholic Church). It is a typical Free Presbyterian Church building dating from the Edwardian period. Like many churches of this period, it used a style derived from Scottish precedents but also fitted in with the preference for late Gothic, often labelled Perpendicular, across Britain generally.
The church had a typical Presbyterian plan. The emphasis on preaching produced a wide and relatively short central main vessel to the church. There are shallow transepts to either side to create more space to either side of the pulpit.
There is a short chancel which is now used as a stage and would have been the sanctuary containing the communion table and chairs for elders. To the east is a church hall which is integrated into the design of the remainder of the building. The internal design of the space that was originally the church is particularly attractive. A quality is given to the space by its expressive roof form with the underside of the main trusses forming curves articulating the bays of the church. This arrangement is linked with the pairs of arches into the transepts. At the western end of the church is the original gallery.
It is listed Category B. Externally the main feature is the octagonal tower which forms a minor landmark in the northern part of Crail on the A917 St Andrews Road.
The Church was built in 1799 on the former Caminho dos Pinheiros, today Rua da Consolação, with the help of alms from devotees to Our Lady of Consolation and with the endorsement of the diocesan bishop Mateus de Abreu Pereira were able to begin its construction, with the technique of taipa, quite common at the time. The oldest record of its construction is a document transcribed by Jacinto Ribeiro, in which it attributes the idealization of the temple to the faithful Luiz da Silva and his brothers. Located in a boggy and marshy region there is another document proving the Church's ancient existence: on November 23, 1803, an office was registered that showed the need for drinking water for the residents of the neighborhood "Nossa Senhora da Consolação". In view of the custom of baptizing the district with religious names, mainly related to sanctuaries, the Church, besides already existing, corresponded to an important piece for the functioning of the region. And, in the year 1810, a plant in the city of São Paulo contained the chapel.
Built in 1911,Rock River Elementary served Rockford area students till 2005.Soon after, it was sold to an area congregation to become a church. That never happened and the structure and property have been vandalized so heavily, city employees were called in to clean up the property and board it up...twice. The structure which is much bigger than what is seen in this picture was in serious disrepair when closed....

Originating in North America in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the “boomtown” style is predominantly found in mining towns, which were built quickly near mining and forestry developments.
First, a wooden cubic building with one or two floors and an almost flat roof are built to maximize space. Then, in order to give style to the construction, a facade called “postiche” is added. It extends beyond the roof line. This facade can take different shapes (medallion, battlements, steps). Building have a unique western look.
The castle was built between 1378 and 1399 by Richard, 1st Baron Scrope of Bolton, and is an example of a quadrangular castle. The licence to build it was granted in July 1379 and a contract with the mason John Lewyn was made in September 1378. Construction was reputed to cost 18,000 Marks.The 16th-century writer John Leland described 'An Astronomical Clock' in the courtyard and how smoke was conveyed from the hearth in the hall through tunnels. Bolton Castle was described by Sir Francis Knollys as having 'The highest walls of any house he had seen'.
In 1536 John, 8th Baron Scrope supported the Pilgrimage of Grace rebellion against the religious reforms of King Henry VIII and gave Adam Sedbar, Abbot of Jervaulx sanctuary in the castle. In consequence John Scrope had to flee to Skipton pursued by the King's men but Abbot Sedbar was caught and executed. In retribution the king ordered Bolton castle to be torched, causing extensive damage. Within a few years, some of the damage had been repaired and Sir John had regained his seat in Parliament.
Mary, Queen of Scots was held prisoner at Bolton for six months from July 1568 Mary was moved to Bolton. Her primary keeper at this location was Sir Francis Knollys who gave Mary Henry Scrope's own apartments in the South-West tower. Of her retinue of 51 knights, servants and ladies-in-waiting only 30 of her men and six ladies-in-waiting were able to stay in the castle, the rest taking lodgings nearby. Her household included cooks, grooms, hairdresser, embroiderer, apothecary, physician and surgeon.
The castle was built between 1350 and 1375. In 1534 Renswoude was recognised as a knight royal residence. In 1623 castle Borchwal already expire as Johan van Reede become the owner . This Calvinistic priest finds a church more important than the rebuilding, of his own castle. In the house, on its property where Protestant meetinings kept, the house become much too small. He gets authorisation to build its own church near the castle. This fine cupola church was taken in 1641 in use. Then late Johan van Reede demolishes in 1654 the old castle and build the new, current castle.
The castle park developed itself as from that time slowly in a baroque park, with a straight alley pattern. In 1682 Johan are succeeded by his third zoon, Frederik Adriaan. He was married with Maria Duyst van Voorhout. During the absence of her man she let dig now the Grand still existing canal, compared with the castle alley. Because of this big work, much unemployed persons could helped with the work. But it had been especially intended as a surprise for her man, They are Versailles lgarden overs in that time, so they build there own French garden. On 28 November 1985 there was a big fire on the castle. The fire made a damage of millions of guldens. All the next day, they started with setting up wharf and rebuild the damage. This was reached by the energy of the current owner, baron Taets van Amerongen. In the meantime the castle has been restored entirely. For groups the castle be visit.
Built above one of the fortress towers of the Babylon, the Church of St. George is a Greek Orthodox church in Coptic Cairo. It was originally built in the 7th century, but the current structure was rebuilt following a 1904 fire. St. George is the only round church in Egypt, but unlike the original Church of the Holy Sepulchre and its many imitators, this is only for practical reasons – it is built atop the foundations of a Roman round tower.
Mar is a title of respect in Syriac, literally meaning my lord. It is given to all saints and bishops. Girgis is the Arabized adoption of the Greek word Georgios, thus Mar Girgis means St. George in English.
Built below the abbey at the foot of the cliffs, the Hermitage dates from the mid 11th century. It is accessed through a door cut into the surrounding wall which is guarded by a stone st holding a key. The hermitage has two adjoining chapels: The chapel on the north side of the building reuses a natural cave. The chapel on the south side is covered with a block vault and has twelve capitals with antique and Carolingian decorations that respond to each other. To the east, it is extended by several troglodyte rooms with multiple uses: cemetery, sacristy, etc.

Internal atrium of the former Post Office, the largest private building of its time in Athens, was built in 1874 based on designs by architect Ernst Ziller. The complete restoration of the protected building’s shell was carried out in 1979 under the supervision of the National Bank. Inside, it features a closed atrium with surrounding colonnades. On the ground floor, its central hall is used for events and lectures, while a wing houses artworks from the National Bank’s art collection. The upper floors accommodate office spaces for the Bank’s units.
Built in 1931, the 800-foot span bridge of reinforced concrete consists of eight tied arches and was named after John Mack of Newton who, as a member of the state highway commission, was known as the "father of good Kansas roads." The Marsh Arch in Fort Morgan, Colorado has eleven arches.
The John Mack Bridge\is the longest remaining James Barney Marsh Rainbow Bridge in Kansas and the second longest in the United States.
Macro shot taken a month or so ago in the garden of a bee. These where harder to photograph and get sharp as they move about more than you think... wings constantly going.
Built in 1821. In 1970, a fire, natural in origin, consumed the church leaving only bare stone walls. The bell partially melted from from the fire.
Not personally, one presumes.
Built on the site of an existing Saxon hall, Corfe Castle was an early stone castle built on a natural mound, starting in the 1080s.The Normans more commonly built wooden castles (Baileys) on man-made mounds (Mottes). Corfe Castle continued in use for centuries, several English Kings residing here for short periods. It was eventually ‘slighted’ ie damaged beyond use in the English Civil War in 1648.
The site had been the scene of the bloody murder of King Edward the Martyr in 978 at the behest of his wicked step-mother, Elfrida. A plaque in the village commemorates the 1000th year since his murder. Personally, I’d rather not be murdered and go without the 1000 year plaque, which, admittedly is a pretty cool thing to have. I mean, how many people get to be commemorated a whole millennium after their death? Not many!
