Built to support the community at the Blackwater gold mine in 1913, it was open until 1949 when the mine in the area closed. This school is in incredible original condition. It is fitted out with school desks from the period.
Built in the USA, 5917 came into service in Australia on 12 March 1953. Originally built and operated as an oil-burning locomotive, it was later converted to burn coal. Loco 5917 was used to haul freight until it was withdrawal from service in August 1972.
Loco 5917 is here seen at Kendall, New South Wales, on a return with a steam shuttle excursion out of Wauchope, NSW.
A DL local gets ready to roll across a bridge span built in 1904 across the Lackawanna River with a C-425 leading for power.
Built in 1907 and has an interior that is very similar to the style that the Titanic was finished in. Hope that this will open once again for tours so that I can see the inside.
"Built an opera house for you in the deepest jungle
And I walked across its stage, singing with my eyes closed
I've got a love for you I just can't escape
All of my love for you cuts me like barbed wire
Ooh, I was meant to love you
And always keep you in my life
Ooh, I was meant to love you
I knew I loved you at first sight"

Built in 1892 in collaboration with British engineer Charles Assheton Whately Pownall during the Meiji era (1868–1912) when Japan was rapidly modernizing. It served as a railway passage between Yokokawa in Gunma and Karuizawa in Nagano. Services stopped in 1963, and the bridge was repurposed as part of a nature trail in 2001.
Built in 1869, the General Dodge house in Council Bluffs, Iowa, was the home of Grenville M. Dodge (1831-1916), a Union general during the American Civil War, and an engineer who was instrumental in the development of the railroads across the American West.
The interior of the three-story brick home features elaborate black walnut woodwork, and original fixtures. The house, a National Historic Landmark, is decorated with items from the Dodge family, and is open daily as a museum.
The home was a very interesting place to visit, although the docents (dressed in period garb and shown here), seemed rather stiff and were not very communicative. ;-)
Built in the mid-1960s for the movie, 'Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines.' Here's a link to that theme tune.... youtu.be/UPgS26ZhqZs?t=19 - You won't get that out of your head for a few days!
The characters portrayed by Terry Thomas and Eric Sykes were used as the basis for Dastardly and Muttely in the cartoon series 'Stop That Pigeon' If you're much under 60, none of that will mean anything...
I love the expression on the pilot's face here - studied forbearance? The engine is surprisingly noisy for such a low powered unit, and the sound of the original back in 1910 may have been the first internal combustion engine many people ever heard. You can understand why they worried that the newfangled motor cars would scare the horses.
Built in about 1580, and named after its original owner, this beautiful Elizabethan house in the hamlet of Mackney, within the village of Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, is one of Oxfordshire's very few Grade I listed private houses.
Built in the 14th century, Harnham Gate is the southern entrance into the close in an area that feels more rural and village-like than the other two gates into the close.
Storm outside. Peace right here. Eyes forward. I don't chase the lens. I own the street. #ThroughTheRain #CalmDominance #TogetherAlways
Built in exactly the same style as Derwent Dam, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was the same dam. However, Howden is higher up the water system and the furthest of the reservoirs. It's a beautiful day for cycling around the long water system and beyond this point is unexplored territory for me.
Built upon ancient temples of worship, locals have long boasted about the aphrodisiac-like effects these ruins have on those who desire to enter them. A long time draw and tourist attraction, we at the Ishtar find them to be stunning and picturesque. Care to drop by and see for yourself? Visit us to explore and to define your own adventure. May we suggest you bring along a friend.... or two? See you at The Ishtar

Built in 2007 for Air Berlin as D-ABDQ and seen here at London Heathrow (EGLL/LHR) on short final for RWY27L as EWG4C from Hamburg (EDDH/HAM).
Originally built as a private residence in 1917, Filoli was opened to the public in 1975 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The property is considered one of the finest remaining country estates of the 20th century, featuring a 54,000+ square-foot Georgian revival-style mansion, 16 acres of exquisite English Renaissance gardens, a 6.8-acre Gentleman’s Orchard, and a nature preserve with eight miles of hiking trails.
Filoli is dedicated to connecting our rich history with a vibrant future through beauty, nature and shared stories, so that one day all people will honor nature, value unique experiences, and appreciate beauty in everyday life. Filoli's mission and vision strive to live Mr. Bourn's original credo authentically: to fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, and live a good life.
Filoli is owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and operated by the Filoli Center.
Built in 1907, The Starr's Mill site also included a cotton gin and a dynamo that produced electricity for the nearby town of Senoia. The turbine mill ran up until 1959, and although not operating today, it is now restored and owned by the Fayette County Water System. The Fayette County Water System purchased the historic Starr's Mill in February 1991.
Ruined and doomed, former factory/workshops where once there was pride and ingenuity.

Someone built a huge spirit circle on the edge of the San Juan River Canyon in Goosenecks State Park. The river meanders so much it takes two miles to travel six miles. The canyon is about 1,500 feet deep here. In the distance on the left is the Alhambra rock formation, an old volcanic core. It is actually huge but the distances are so vast here that it looks tiny.
I belatedly realized that this image is out of focus. Not sure how I managed to do that. I thought about deleting it but decided not because I am intrigued by this stone circle. It's about 40 or 50 feet wide with enough space between the rings for people to walk or stand.
Built in 1895 by the Big 4 Railroad, the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St Louis Railroad. Thirty Seven workers died during construction. In 1969 railroad use was discontinued. Louisville and Jeffersonville, Indiana use this as a pedestrian bridge and hold many events on it.
Built this about a dozen times trying to get the shaping right. I think I nailed the scale and the girders sitting proud of the triangle tiles proved quite pleasing.

Story
Heimdall is a reconnaissance spaceship. Powered by a single yet powerful thermonuclear engine from BST (Benny Space Technologies), coupled with a high-energy particles grabber under the cockpit that helps to replenish fuel supplies on a long missions. To disperse a ridiculous amounts of heat from reactor's core a series of thermo-dump panels are mount beneath the fuselage. Being a reconnaissance ship it is also equipped with a sensors array under the cockpit and some ion cannons at each wing, you known, just in case....
Design and build
It took me more than 5 months to design and build it. A major inspiration comes from amazing artwork by Michal Kus. Especially the color-blocking and indentations at the front of the wings were a place from which I started. Along the way I shifted things my own way to suit ideas that were jumbling inside my head or I just wanted to incorporate, like the thermo-dump panels from Hamilton's series of books. There were many fun challenges along the way not only related to its geometry or color-blocking but also in making sure that this flying mosaic would be rigid. All of this required many rebuilds and tests but I had a blast doing all of this :)
Building instructions
For anyone curious how Heimdall is built or want to look at some building techniques I have created a studio model based on the actual build. It should be more handy than a regular step-by-step instructions. You can download it from here github.com/lechkulina/Heimdall

Built by the Normans, it was consecrated in 1197 by the Archbishop Berardo. Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor and Constance I of Sicily were present to witness the ceremony. The current building is the final result of some twentieth-century reconstructions, which took place following the disastrous earthquake that struck Messina in 1908 and the considerable damage that resulted from the heavy aerial bombardment in World War II.

Tarasp castle
The castle of Tarasp was built around 1040 by the lords of Tarasp, who had moved from the lake Como to the Engadin. In 1239, the fortress came into the possession of the count of Tirol. From 1646 on, the castle of Tarasp became an Austrian county and in the course of the 16th century the complex was magnified and made a border fortress. In 1803, Napoleon gave Tarasp, which was one of the last Austrian enclaves in Switzerland, to the Helvetic Republic. In the following decades, the castle frequently changed owners and sustained grave damages.
In the summer of 1900 the industrial Dr. Karl August Lingner from Dresden came to Vulpera for a cure. The inventor of Odol mouthwash then decided to acquire the fortress and to renovate it. In an ambitious effort aimed at bringing the castle of Tarasp back to glory, old wood paneling and furniture were bought up from patrician houses in the Grisons, in Tirol and in Germany. In 1916, Lingner installed a Dresdner Jehmlich organ in the former armory chamber that is now the castle’s music room. This organ is now said to be the biggest private organ in Europe.
In the same year, Lingner died of a sudden death. According to his testament the castle of Tarasp was meant to be given to the last king of Saxony, Friedrich August III. As he refused the legacy, Tarasp then went to the grand duke Ernst Ludwig von Hessen. The von Hessen family remained in possession of the castle until the 30th of March 2016, when Not Vital acquired the castle of Tarasp.
Today, the castle of Tarasp houses a collection of antique, modern and contemporary art. The Parkin, a sculpture park in the village of Sent, and the historic Planta house in Ardez form part of Not Vital’s foundation as well.

Gloucester Cathedral
Built in the 14th century, the Great Cloister is widely regarded as the first and best example of fan vaulting in the world and is now known as ‘Hogwarts’ to Harry Potter fans. It remains internationally significant today but a 2019 survey confirmed it is at risk.
Before its current incarnation, Gloucester Cathedral was a monastic community of men and women, thereafter an abbey where every aspect of daily life from food growing and preparation, learning and democratic decision making to hospitality, almsgiving and medical care took place alongside worship. The Cloister was the centre of this life.
We will use the long-term conservation of this extraordinary built heritage (including the North Nave and Transept) to develop our stonemasons training and mentoring programme. We will offer opportunities for at least eight talented craftspeople to develop their careers through a once-in-a-millennia opportunity to work on this extraordinary fabric whilst gaining a foundation degree in Heritage Skills.
Visitors will experience conservation first-hand, learning about the people and techniques which protect heritage for future generations and we will open the Cathedral Workshop to wider uses, including tours and training.
even after all the years of abuse, you can drop a crate motor into this and have a nice rat rod

Built in the Khmer style in the 11th through 13th Centuries, the city has been a UNESCO World Heritage site. since 1991, and was the center of ancient Siam.
"At its height, Sukhothai was a magnificent, albeit, small city with elegant temples, palaces, stunning monuments, and waterways. The effervescence of culture in this city during the 13th and 14th centuries CE has left an indelible imprint on Thai art, language, and politics, and Sukhothai is still revered as the birthplace of Thai culture by Thais today."

Bulk Carrier, built in 2014,
Snow covered, Coast Mountains,
Inner Harbour,
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Length overall (LOA) is 229 meters, width is 32.24 meters.
Built this a while ago, alongside the new cockpitbox previously posted.
With this I’m testing out a modular system, so almost everything that attaches too the cockpit box section can be swapped and upgraded. This has been a goal ever since I built my Rayfire.
So with this system you can change out weapons, Balancers, shielding, engines, cowling and wing shapes etc.
Newburgh is a large stone-built village on the wide sandy estuary of the River Ythan, close to the point at which it is bridged by the A975. he origins of the village date back to 1261 when a charter was drawn up by Lord Sinclair establishing a settlement here. A little later it acquired the Chapel of the Holy Rood and St Thomas the Martyr in Inch Road. The Chapel is long gone, but the Udny Family Mausoleum which formed part of it can still be seen in the Holyrood Cemetery. art of the name of the original chapel also survives, in the imposing Holyrood Chapel on Main Street. This was originally built as a school in 1838, and the clock tower was added in 1892. The village itself developed as a centre for salmon fishing, and later as a small port. By the 1850s there was a steady traffic of boats and barges calling at the newly built quays on the River Ythan. And by the 1880s there was a small fleet of sailing vessels based here, alongside a dozen resident fishing boats. A little earlier, in 1828, Newburgh became the first port in Scotland to have a Lifeboat Station, then called the Shipwreck Institution. The RNLI, as the Institution became, based a lifeboat in Newburgh until 1961, when it moved to Peterhead. In the 1950s Newburgh remained an active port with quays and a mill. Much of its economic base had declined by 1970, but the corner was turned - as with so many settlements in north east Scotland - with the discovery of oil under the North Sea. Newburgh, with its attractive setting and within commuting range of both Aberdeen and Peterhead rapidly became a desirable place to live. Today's Newburgh is an active and thriving settlement. At its centre is the Udny Arms Hotel providing accommodation, great views over the River Ythan, and an excellent restaurant. Beyond the River Ythan lies one of the oddest landscapes in Britain. Forvie Sands comprises an area of dunes some three miles long and a mile wide. At its heart are the remains of Forvie Kirk, built in the 1100s. This is all that can now be seen of the village of Forvie, once a thriving community but buried by shifting dunes during a storm in 1413. www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/newburgh/newburgh/
Sands of Forvie Nature Reserve: www.visitscotland.com/info/towns-villages/forvie-national... Shifting sands and seabirds The stark beauty of empty sand dunes is complemented by the call of eider ducks, wafting like gentle gossiping across the Ythan estuary. With the constant shifting of the dunes, layers of history have come and gone, revealing the half buried remains of a twelfth century church. Bird life is plentiful and you can watch the summer acrobatics of diving terns or the determined stabbing of the carrot-coloured beaks of wading oystercatchers.
When I built this look, it was a totally different process for me. Taking learnings with several friends in SecondLife, a body proportion guide and seeing what the best 'fit' was. From there, making customizations and changes that my eye wanted to express. The response has been great as I let my more feminine/andro avatar take a much deserved vacation.
One of my favorite comments has been about having a 'Greek God' appearance and as I dig through my inventory, found this homage to Apollo from Fallen Gods that felt fun for taking a photo today. Is there anything better than feeling like a bringer of Sun and light.
The song today is "Sun King" by the Cult, the opening track to the Sonic Temple release, what a ripping way to start the whole release.
Favorite words:
"Hey, look out, little missy's about
Ripping up the town, yeah
Honey, I can't tie you down
Woman, you make me frown
Long legged lady with a black dress on
On my knees, mama please
I'm a regal man
I'll do what I can
To t-t-take you to the promised land
A sun king, baby
Let me take you by the hand
Yeah, sun king, honey
We can rule across this land
I'm a sun king, baby, baby
With you, I'll share my throne
A sun king, honey
I can't make it on my own, yeah"
