Cap-des-Rosiers Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in Canada at 112 ft, continues to serve since it was built in 1858. Located strategically at the intersection of the St. Lawrence River and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, it guides ships through dangerous waters with its intense beam of light 136 feet above high water. It boasts walls 7 ft thick at the base and 3 ft thick at the top. It is open to the public for visits. This location is along the Gaspe Peninsula, Route 132.
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.

The ship was built from 1906 to 1908 at the Thyen shipyard in Brake an der Weser as a three-mast schooner with emergency sails and put into service in 1908 as a lightship Außeneneider. It lay with interruptions until 1944 on the position Außeneider before the mouth of the Eider into the North Sea, in the years 1914 to 1916 on position Süderpiep. In 1918/19 it was involved in military operations in the Baltic Sea. In 1931 an engine was installed. From 1945 to 1948 it was used as a guard ship on the forced mine route P 11-P 15 in the German Bight. 1949 to 1953 it was a replacement lightship for the position Amrumbank (P 15). 1954 and 1956 it came to different changes. The beacon has been amplified, a radio beacon has been retrofitted. In the years from 1956 to 1965 it was used as reserve Holtenau (reserve lightship) on the positions Flensburg, Kiel and Fehmarnbelt, 1961 short time on Elbe 1 and then from 1965 to 1984 under its today's name on position in the Fehmarnbelt. On 31 March 1984 it was the last German lightship to be decommissioned on the Baltic Sea; the position was taken over by an unmanned large buoy.
In the same year, the ship served as Hatteras'; film ship for the shooting of the US feature film The Lightship (based on the story The Lightship by Siegfried Lenz) on Sylt. It has been a museum ship since 1986.
Today, the ship belongs to the non-profit association Feuerschiff für Lübeck e. V. and has been moored at Behnkai in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck in front of the Media Docks on the northern Wallhalbinsel since autumn 2009. It is kept in running order and since 1989 has made trips in the summer to test all the facilities under sea conditions; it is also possible to visit them on board.

Built for Sir Robert Shirley between 1653 and 1655 in Gothic style, the Chapel of Holy Trinity is the estate church at Staunton Harold, where the Shirleys, their retainers and estate workers lived for generations. It is one of the few churches built between the outbreak of the English Civil War and the Restoration period
Built in the early 1900s the building was initially opened as a grocery store in 1910. In the 1940s the original Bastian Blessings soda fountain was installed where it still remains, serving sodas, shakes, malts, and floats. The installation of the soda fountain initiated the transformation from grocery store, bus stop and post office to a soda shop.
In 1985 restoration began and the South Side Soda Shop was re-opened in January of 1986. Eight years later the dining car was added to the existing building to provide additional seating as well as another look at fifties-style dining. The South Side Soda Shop continues the tradition of a fifties diner, offering home cooked recipes with a friendly face.

The wharf in Coupeville Washington was built in 1905 to export grain produced on Whidbey Island. The town sits on Penn Cove, a sheltered bay that provided a safe, sheltered harbor during the early settlement of the area. In 1792 Capt. George Vancouver named the harbor in honor of, as he wrote, “a particular friend.” It is thought that the person honored was either John or Richard Penn, both of whom were grandsons of William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania.
Before European settlement, 3 permanent villages inhabited by the Lower Skagit People were located around Penn Cove. The largest village called at bəc̓adᶻali, or “snake place" occupied the site of present day town of Coupeville.
Cmdr. Charles Wilkes of the US Navy charted the small bay in 1841. Wilkes was the American born great nephew of the former Lord Mayor of London John Wilkes. He led US Expeditions to the South Pacific (including Antarctica) and Puget Sound. He was an important and controversial naval leader during the Civil War and ended his career with the rank of Rear Admiral (retired).
In 1850 Issac Neff Ebey became one of the first non-native American settlers and farmers in the area. Others soon followed and made land claims as provided by the Donation Land Act of 1850. Also, in 1850 Captain Thomas Coupe laid out a town on the shores of Penn Cove which today bears his name, Coupeville. It became the center of commerce for the Island, an important port, and during the late 1800s, home to many active and retired sea captains and mariners.
The wharf is a contributing property to the Central Whidbey Island Historic District which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. To better protect the unique history and landscape, Coupeville and its wharf was included in Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve in 1978. This one-of-a-kind unit of the National Park System preserves and protects the historical record of the exploration and settlement of central Whidbey Island from 19th century to the present.

Costruita nel 1600 nella penisola del Sinis (vedi mia foto precedente) sull’altura che domina le rovine di Tharros, città prima cartaginese e poi romana posta proprio di fronte ad un approdo naturale , proteggeva il vicino paese di Cabras, con le sue peschiere dagli assalti dei pirati nord-africani. Il nome gli deriva dall’antica chiesa bizantina di San Giovanni di Sinis che si trova nelle vicinanze. Anticamente su questo sito stava l’acropoli della città di Tharros. Ha un diametro di oltre 14 metri e un’altezza di 11 metri.

Built according to the design of architect János Feketeházy, the bridge opened in celebration of the 1000th birthday of Hungary in 1896. Structurally, the bridge is a cantilever bridge with an Art Nouveau style truss – although on first glance, it looks like a chain bridge. After its destruction during the Second World War, the bridge was the first in the city to be rebuilt and was reopened in 1946 according to the original design.
Construction on the Hotel Saint Gellért started in 1912. The hotel was named for Saint Gellért (St. Gerard Sagredo) the first bishop of Hungary in the 11th Century. The 176-room hotel was designed by Hungarian architects Ármin Hegedűs, Artúr Sebestyén and Izidor Sterk. Work on the hotel slowed due to World War I, and it did not open until September 1918, just as the war was ending and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was descending into chaos. The hotel was commandeered for the national government's use in 1919, after the downfall of Hungarian Soviet Republic. Once Hungary was established as an independent country, the hotel in its early years were so successful that it was expanded in 1927 with 60 more rooms and a wave pool. Noted Hungarian restaurateur Károly Gundel took over management of the hotel's restaurants in 1927 as well. In 1934, the hotel added a jacuzzi pool.
The hotel was severely damaged in World War II. Post-war Communist authorities removed the "St." from the hotel's name and it became the Hotel Gellért. Restoration of the Gellért Hill wing began in 1946, while work on the main Danube River wing began in 1957. Restoration work was completed in 1962. The hotel was again renovated in 1973. Danubius Hotels assumed management of the hotel in 1981. After the company was privatized in 1992, it purchased the hotel outright in June 1996. The adjoining spa is owned and operated by the City of Budapest.
Hotel Gellért is famous for its thermal baths. The Gellért Spa which is connected to the hotel, is a very special attraction with its indoor and outdoor swimming pools, wave bath, sunbathing terrace and thermal spa. The jacuzzi, with its glass roof, and the wave bath are favorites among guests. Even though Gellért Spa is independently owned, guests of the hotel can use the facilities for a discount.

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.
Built between 1892 and 1897 during the time of the Reichsland Elsass-Lothringen (1870–1918), the church was designed for the Lutheran members of the Imperial German garrison stationed in Strasbourg.

Monticello, Arkansas. Built in 1906, the Allen House is located along North Main Street and features gothic-style architecture and wrought-iron fencing. The house was planned by local businessman Joe Lee Allen to be the most impressive house the town had ever seen. Unfortunately in December 1948 the family experienced a grave tragedy – their daughter, Ladell, consumed mercury cyanide-laced punch in the house’s master suite. Out of grief, her mother sealed off the room and it would not be entered by anyone for nearly four decades. During its time as an apartment building in the 1950s, tenants would report eerie occurrences, including hazy figures appearing in photographs, furniture being unexplainably rearranged and several reports of a lady sitting in a turret window. The Allen House is now open for historic guided tours by appointment and opens its doors the last two days of October for special Halloween tours.

Built for the third round of the RogueOlympics on Roguebricks. After seeing this week’s theme was “Bon apetit”, I knew I had to get an entry in – though I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to build. Then I had an idea for how to make the radish slices, and the rest of the build came together from there.
