Built at Saint Sylvestre-sur-Lot in the middle-ages, the Chateau is marked by more than 700 years of history.
Originally a fortified farm, the property has evolved with its successive owners. During the 16th and 17th centuries building work began to construct new main buildings and towers. In the 18th century the windows were completely redesigned in arch style. In the 19th century, the estate passed via marriage to the Dordaygue family who erected a building at the south side. The whole property was restored in 1992 before becoming a luxury hotel. However, in 2008, the company who ran the hotel went into liquidation and the estate fell into a state of neglect.
A new lease of life has been given to the chateau by Philippe Ginestet, local man and owner director of the Gifi group. In 2011 he purchased the estate and, with his friend and architect Jacques Bru, decided to create a unique hotel complex. Several months of work was necessary to get their audacious architectural project up and running and thus give birth to this exceptional place.
Gebouwd in Saint Sylvestre-sur-Lot in de middeleeuwen, wordt het kasteel gekenmerkt door meer dan 700 jaar geschiedenis.
Oorspronkelijk een versterkte boerderij, is het pand geëvolueerd met zijn opeenvolgende eigenaren. Tijdens de 16e en 17e eeuw begon men met de bouw van nieuwe hoofdgebouwen en torens. In de 18e eeuw werden de ramen volledig opnieuw ontworpen in boogstijl. In de 19e eeuw ging het landgoed via huwelijk over op de familie Dordaygue die een gebouw aan de zuidkant liet bouwen. Het hele pand werd in 1992 gerestaureerd voordat het een luxe hotel werd. In 2008 ging het bedrijf dat het hotel runde echter in liquidatie en raakte het landgoed in een staat van verwaarlozing.
Het kasteel is nieuw leven ingeblazen door Philippe Ginestet, lokale man en eigenaar-directeur van de Gifi-groep. In 2011 kocht hij het landgoed en besloot samen met zijn vriend en architect Jacques Bru een uniek hotelcomplex te realiseren. Er waren enkele maanden werk nodig om hun gedurfd architecturaal project op de rails te krijgen en zo deze uitzonderlijke plek te laten ontstaan.
Beaumaris, Anglesey
Built by Edward I and his architect James of St George, Beaumaris was meant to be the crowning glory and masterpiece of castle design and architecture following Conwy, Caernarfon and Harlech castles.
The result was a fortress of immense size and near-perfect symmetry. No fewer than four concentric rings of formidable defences included a water-filled moat with its very own dock. The outer walls alone bristled with 300 arrow loops.
However, lack of money and trouble brewing in Scotland meant building work had petered out by the 1320s. The south gatehouse and the six great towers in the inner ward never reached their intended height. The Llanfaes gate was barely started before being abandoned. So, the distinctive squat shape of Beaumaris tells of a dream that never quite came true. Still it takes its rightful place on the global stage as part of the Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd World Heritage Site.
Because this castle is special – both for the scale of its ambition and beauty of its proportions. Gloriously incomplete Beaumaris is perhaps the supreme achievement of the greatest military architect of the age.
The lovely colours and markings of this Cheetah are well seen in this photograph taken within the Masai Mara National Park.

I built a new diorama over the last week - simulating some west coast visas - I'm shooting into something much larger that should allow me many different angles from the same scene I hope.
Here is my first test with my iphone - - I definitely need to re-shoot with an SLR to get some improvements on the background details and second row of bikes.

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.
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 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.

This is one of my favorite Buildings in Buffalo, NY. There is a lot of History to this Richardson Building. I heard there was freaky storys in this Building. It is a Gothic Building in my eyes.
Please read below and go to the link for more info
The Henry Hobson Richardson Complex, or the Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane, as it was originally called, started construction in 1870 and was completed almost 20 years later. It was a state-of-the-art facility when it was built, incorporating the most modern ideas in psychiatric treatment. The design of the buildings as well as the restorative grounds, designed by famed landscape designer Frederick Law Olmsted, were intended to complement the innovations in psychiatric care practiced at this facility.

Everything seems to be uphill in Porto (same goes for Lisbon), so every once and awhile we'd look back for an inspirational view.
Porto Cathedral (featured in the background) was built on the site of an old chapel or hermitage founded by Henry of Burgundy and his wife in 1108. The pre-Romanesque church is mentioned in the De Expugnatione Lyxbonensi as still extant in 1147, so construction of the present building began in the second half of the 12th century and work continued until the 16th century. There were major Baroque additions in the 18th century, and further changes were made in the 20th century.
The cathedral is flanked by two square towers, each supported with two buttresses and crowned with a cupola. The façade lacks decoration and is rather architecturally heterogeneous. It shows a Baroque porch and a beautiful Romanesque rose window under a crenellated arch, giving the impression of a fortified church.

Built in 1470 adjacent to St Olave's Church it was the main entrance to St Mary's Abbey which was once the richest abbey in Northern England. The abbey is just a ruin today in the York Museum Gardens.
Following the Dissolution it became a court house and a pub. Today it is home to York Museum & Gallery Trust.
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.
Built in the 12th and 13th centuries, Laon Cathedral is one of the most important and stylistically unified examples of early Gothic architecture.
Contemporary with Noyon Cathedral and Notre-Dame de Paris, it is one of the most elaborate and best-preserved of the early French Gothic cathedrals.
Ruined and doomed, former factory/workshops where once there was pride and ingenuity.

Built from 1825-1835, the privately funded canal connected New Haven, Connecticut to Northhampton, Massachusetts. The advent of railroads quickly made the canal obsolete and its tow path became the route of a major north-south railroad. Today the tracks are gone, replaced with a paved walking/cycling path while the canal itself has returned to nature, resembling a slow moving stream rather than the artery of commerce it once was.

Stonehenge, built around 3000BC, that's impressive.
Makes me wonder if come another 5000 years there might be a monument called Steelhenge... ruins of a city block filled with rusty skyscrapers. That would make it the year 7017.
