Built by Alexander who was the Duke of Hamilton, he lived from 1767 to 1852, the structure was incomplete at the time of his death, he was later interred in the mausoleum on completion, he was fascinated with Egyptian history so was berried in a huge sarcophagus, he was the only member of his family that wasn't housed in the walls of the mausoleum but placed on a huge slab below ground level, the rest of his family were interred in the walls on a lower level to The Duke. He wanted a place where all his relatives could be together, in the 1920's there was subsidence due to water ingress from the river Clyde so all the family were relocated to a local cemetery as there was a risk of the structure collapsing, works were succesfully completed to save the structure. Before succeeding to the dukedom, he was Lord Lieutenant of Lanarkshire, Colonel of the Militia, and MP for Lancaster. He was later appointed Ambassador to Russia, and travelled extensively in Russia and Poland.
Built in 1854-1856 the Wheeling Suspension bridge is the oldest bridge of it's kind in the US. But, with a gross weight limit of 2,000 lbs and a requirement that vehicles travel less than 45mph and stay 50' apart it's not practical for today's traffic and has been closed to all vehicles since 2019.
Oscillation is a significant concern for this bridge and noting how close to the banks the piers are built I can understand this is a real issue.
For those inclined to research this bridge, it is interesting the note the battle between Wheeling, to have this bridge built and Pittsburgh, who was concerned about the impact of this bridge on river traffic.
Built on slopes of the Rif Mountains, the old medina of Chefchaouen is full of narrow streets that are waiting to be explored and photographed.

Built this megalithic burial chamber in around 3,500 BC...located at Pentre Ifan, South Wales.
The capstone is 5.1 metres long and weighs around 16 tonnes.
We came here at around sunset, the whole atmosphere around the area and stones was one of sheer tranquility and peacefulness, it was a very strange and beautiful feeling, and it is something that will live with us forever...hopefully, as will the stones.
I seriously can't believe this was taken almost 14 years ago now.
Shipping on the Mekong has been completely cut off by the waterfalls located at the southern end of Si Phan Don. This bridge was built during the French colonial period to tranship goods between the river ports in Don Det and Don Khon by train.
The railway track was removed, and the bridge is now used as a road bridge for the tourist access to the Somphamit waterfalls.

Kojori Fortress was built atop Azeuli Mountain, at a height of 1,250 metres above sea level. According to historians, the fortress was constructed sometime during the 11th century. Built in multiple layers atop the cliffs, this fortress once protected the caravan road connecting Tbilisi to Armenia, and was of immense strategic importance during the Middle Ages.
Korjoli Fortress was built of crushed stone and brick, and was plastered with thick mortar. Today, only the ruins of the walls and two of its towers remain, but these ruins speak to numerous battles and sieges over the centuries. The ruins afford visitors a beautiful view of Kartli’s wide-open spaces.
The last battle to take place at Kojori Fortress took place in 1921, when the 11th Army of the Russian Red Army faced Georgian cadets. A memorial in honour of these fallen cadets stands there today.
In addition to its historical value, Kojori is also a spectacular place for relaxing in nature, having a picnic, and doing a little light hiking in the nearby forest. This region, once the summer residence of kings, is today open to the public to enjoy.
Built in 1931, the lighthouse continues the use of a fifth order Fresnel lens that was first used in 1891, in the original lighthouse. The foreground pale brown is due to the shallow but rough water, kicking up sand, while the deep blue is deeper water.

Homebuilt in 1956 (one year after the production ended) from new and used spare parts.
Built in 1811, Low Horcum Farm was last inhabited by humans in 1966 and fell into a state of near ruin. It underwent some renovation in 1986. However, over the next 20 years or so, weather and lack of further work meant that the building was in danger of falling down.
In 2008, ranger David Smith came up with an idea of saving this historic building and working with its structure to potentially attract wildlife, in particular, bats, swallows and barn owls.
A 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive crosses a river on my S gauge model railroad. I scratch built the trestle from strip wood and created the river using paint and an epoxy resin.
Note the activity by the river bank where two travelers have set up a campfire. It's actually a small LCD bulb that is powered from a transistor radio. Instead of HEARING the music you SEE a flickering "campfire."
Ladybower was built between 1935 and 1943 by the Derwent Valley Water Board to supplement the other two reservoirs in supplying the water needs of the East Midlands. It took a further two years to fill (1945). The dam differs from the Howden Reservoir and Derwent Reservoir in that it is a clay-cored earth embankment, and not a solid masonry dam. Below the dam is a cut-off trench 180 feet (55 m) deep and 6 feet (1.8 m) wide filled with concrete, stretching 500 feet (150 m) into the hills each side, to stop water leaking round the dam. The dam wall was built by Richard Baillie and Sons, a Scottish company. The two viaducts, Ashopton and Ladybower, needed to carry the trunk roads over the reservoir were built by the London firm of Holloways, using a steel frame clad in concrete. The project was delayed when the Second World War broke out in 1939, making labour and raw materials scarce. But construction was continued due to the strategic importance of maintaining supplies. King George VI, accompanied by Queen Elizabeth, formally opened the reservoir on 25 September 1945.
During the 1990s the wall was raised and strengthened to reduce the risk of over-topping in a major flood. The original dam wall contains 100,000 tons of concrete, over one million tons of earth and 100,000 tons of clay for the core. The upstream face is stone faced. Materials were brought to the site on the Derwent Valley Water Board's own branch line and their sidings off the main line in the Hope Valley.
The dam's design is unusual in having two totally enclosed bellmouth overflows (locally named the "plugholes") at the side of the wall. These are stone and of 80 feet (24 m) diameter with outlets of 15 feet (4.6 m) diameter. Each discharges via its own valve house at the base of the dam. The overflows originally had walkways around them but they were dismantled many years ago. The bell mouths are often completely out of the water and are only rarely submerged, often after heavy rainfall or flooding.
Built as a residential dwelling in 1480, Tu Hwnt i’r Bont (Beyond the Bridge) is now a charming traditional Welsh Tea Room. Unfortunately the river flooded earlier in the season, washing away the bank, but it's still a beautiful little scene (and the tea is highly recommended!).

Thanks to Huw for the pics!
Built over the River Arle in the 13th century, the fulling mill was used in the local production of woollen material and is now a private residence.
Last summer, about this time. Must have rained consistently for me to have been out shooting - it's quite unbearable to be outside right now.

Andrew Murray's hand built sports car. This is the third car he custom hand built from scratch. Powered by a potent 374ci small block Chevrolet engine. Needless to say, it's quite fast! It being the third one Andrew built I named it the Murray III.
It was built at the end of 19th Century by master-builders Pyrch Mykhailo Mykhailovych and Pyrch Fedir Mykhailovych and re-built in 1946. After Prykarpattia’s joining to the Soviet Ukraine, the mill became the property of a local collective farm. It was used for its intended purpose. In 1960th, after a water flood it didn’t function till 1970th, when transferred to the Museum. The mill stayed on a bank of a torrent, flowing out of Shypit water flow.
The building has a double-room log construction. It consists of a “shack” to shelter the visiting farmers and a mill itself with mechanism. It has two waterwheels and two pairs of stones – grinding plates.
The flouring mill is built of smereka wood. Its high roof is covered by combination of straw and wood. It is the only showpiece of the museum with such combination of roofing techniques.
To grind corn, water should be forwarded to the walls. For this purpose, the stream has been dammed up by smereka timbers. Water taken from the torrent passed by hollowed-up logs to the upper wheels; they turned the axles with wheels – gears, and they tuned a shaft and the upper stone. Grains had to be loaded into a hopper fixed above, and flour fell into a through, fixed under the lower stone.
Total area of the building is 62.7 square meters.
Млин із села Пилипець, Міжгірського району, Закарпатської області.
Збудований наприкінці ХІХ ст. Майстри-будівничі - Пирч Михайло Михайлович і Пирч Федір Михайлович. В 1946 році його перебудували. Після приєднання Закарпаття до радянської України млин став власністю колгоспу, використовувався за призначенням. В 1960-х роках після повені млин не функціонував до 1970-х років, коли його перевезли до Музею. Млин стояв на березі стрімкого потоку, що витікає з водопаду Шипіт.
Споруда має двокамерну зрубну конструкцію і складається з «хижі» - приміщення, де жили і відпочивали приїжджі селяни, і млина з механізмом. Він має два водяних колеса і дві пари каменів – жорен.
Млин збудований із смерекового дерева. Високий дах комбінований, покритий соломою і деревом. В музеї це єдиний експонат, де поєднано різні матеріали та покрівельні техніки.
Щоб перемолоти збіжжя, треба було спрямувати воду на колеса. Для цього потік перегороджувався гаттю із смерекових колод. Воду з потоку подавали довбаними колодами до верхніх коліс, які обертали вали із закріпленими на них колесами – шестернями, а вони обертали веретено і верхній камінь. Зерно засипали в кіш, що кріпиться зверху, а борошно сиплеться в корито, яке закріплене внизу нижнього каменю.
Загальна площа споруди – 62,7 кв.м.

This large dairy barn, built in 1910, sits on the Hjertoos Farm, now know as the Hjertoos Tree Farm in Carnation WA. The Hjertoos, a Norwegian family, arrived in the Snoqualmie Valley in the 1880s. Bergette and Andrew Hjertoos bought this farm from the Shaw family in 1901. At the time the place included a two-story log house, a large house for boarders, and a substantial orchard. In 1905 the Hjertoos build a two-story, wood frame farmhouse to replace the earlier structures. Lumber for the building came from the Preston Mill Company at Preston. The large barn followed in 1910. Though some of the original acreage has been sold or donated, the core of the property remains in the Hjertoos family. Today the farm operates as a tree farm and the barn contain a “loft” available for meetings or overnight lodging. The farm (both house and barn) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
