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.

Built in 1898 by Joseph J. Daniels, this Burr Arch Truss bridge is 165 feet in length. This bridge spans Big Walnut Creek west of Greencastle, Putnam County, Indiana and is also known as the Shoppell Covered Bridge. It is the third of nine bridges I found in Putnam County on my recent covered bridge excursion.
Built in the twelfth century five hundred years after King Arthur so forget any connections to Arthurian legend. Owned by, for a time, Hugh de Morville, one of the knights responsible for Thomas Becket's murder.. Knocked about a bit by Scottish raiders and rescued in 1660 by the redoubtable Lady Anne Clifford. Its story is one of decline after her death. Privately owned today and the structure, as is, stabilised to prevent further decline. Ridiculously picturesque situated in the throat of the stunning Mallerstang valley adjacent to the River Eden.
Walking the Eden Way, the long distance path from Mallerstange to the Solway, you will pass Pendragon Castle and a slight diversion is well worth the effort.
One more frame of this scene, this one zoomed in on the two unique trailing units because it is doubtful this will ever be repeated!
In a surprising turn of events the CSXT Geometry train returned to the MBTA for several days of testing. The purpose of this was to run the CSXT train in a consist with the MBTA's own newly built revenue GEO cars, the MBTA 533 and 534. These rebuilt MBB coaches were outfitted with data collection instrumentation from Ensco and the Keolis engineering team wanted to run them together with a piece of control equipment so they all collect the same data at the same time to be compared and validated. The train consisted of F40PH-3C 1070 bracketing cab car 1706, the two MBTA GEO cars, CSXT's three car train of 994366 (Geometry/theater car TGC3), 994365 (support car Hocking Valley), and 994369 (crew car Grand Rapids) with its assigned one of a kind unit, CSXT 9969, an ex MARC GP40WH-2. All of that was bracketed on the other end by MBTA 1130, a rebuilt GP40MC dressed in its one of a kind 'heritage' colors colloquially known to fans as the 'easter egg scheme' which mimics the paint job worn by the original F40PHs in the 1970s and early 1980s as well as some of the FP10s. This was the second of six (so far!) 'heritage' schemes designed to pay homage to the MBTA commuter rail system's early years and its legacy predecessors.
The Keolis north side work train crew is on board the 1070 as they head east toward Rockport over the causeway at MP 25.3 on the Gloucester Branch which dates from 1847 when constructed by the Eastern Railroad. They are crossing the double track thru girder bascule drawbridge built by the Boston and Maine in 1944 which provides access to Manchester's inner harbor.
Rising at right can be seen the white steeple of the First Congregational Church which dates from 1809, and is the fourth meeting house...with the first having been built way back in 1656!

Built between 1889 to 1895 on several farm tracts totaling about 2,000 acres that had been purchased by George Washington Vanderbilt II for the purpose of constructing this house. The chosen site located in Asheville NC permitted G.W. Vanderbilt a view of the surrounding mountains. At 178,926 square feet, Biltmore house is the largest privately owned home in the United States, It features 250 rooms, including 35 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms and 65 fireplaces.
Built for summer joust 2022 12x12 contest. I've been thinking about King Arthur a lot recently.
I was also inspired by Love, Death and Robots: Jibaro. Fantastic episode, and I'd love to see more builds inspired by it for this SJ2022.
Thought this theme might work best for this category. Hope you guys like it.
Now that I've posted it, I'm a little worried that it's a bit derivative of EKJohnson's Passage of Valyria (flic.kr/p/2i3xkq2).
The hammer beam ceiling of Knox Church Dunedin has survived 150 years in our earthquake prone country. Thousands of people have attended under this roof over those years but do their souls still linger under this ceiling?
The Styrum Water Tower was built in 1892/93 by August Thyssen to supply his iron rolling mill.
In 1912, the building became the property of the newly founded RWW Rheinisch-Westfälische Wasserwerksgesellschaft mbH. At this time, the Styrum Waterworks supplied the following companies with approximately five million cubic meters of water per year: AG Phönix for Mining and Metallurgy; Arenbergsche Bergwerksgesellschaft; Gewerkschaft Mathias Stinnes; and Thyssen. Until its decommissioning in 1982, the tower primarily supplied process water, initially to Thyssen and later to Mannesmann. In addition to its function as a water reservoir, the water tower also served as a residence for a long time. At the end of the 1980s, RWW decided to preserve the water tower as an industrial monument and convert it into a museum.
A report by the Lower Monument Authority dated March 13, 1989, states:
"The Styrum Water Tower exhibits architecture modeled on a defensive tower, typical of early industrial architecture. It is a three-story brick building with an octagonal base tapering at the bottom, structured by several horizontal masonry bands and a stepped cornice. Above it rises a cylindrical tower shaft with eight window axes. The tower shaft is divided by horizontal zigzag bands of yellow clinker brick. The pitched roof supports several pointed dormers and a compass rose."
Der Wasserturm Styrum wurde 1892/93 von August Thyssen zur Versorgung seines Eisenwalzwerkes erbaut.
1912 geht das Gebäude in den Besitz der neugegründeten RWW Rheinisch-Westfälische Wasserwerksgesellschaft mbH über. Zu dieser Zeit versorgt das Styrumer Wasserwerk mit circa fünf Millionen Kubikmeter pro Jahr folgende Betriebe: AG Phönix für Bergbau und Hüttenbetrieb; Arenbergsche Bergwerksgesellschaft; Gewerkschaft Mathias Stinnes; Thyssen. Bis zu seiner Stilllegung 1982 lieferte der Turm vorwiegend Betriebswasser, zunächst an Thyssen, später an Mannesmann. Neben seiner Funktion als Wasserspeicher diente der Wasserturm auch lange Zeit als Wohnung. Ende der achtziger Jahre beschloss RWW, den Wasserturm als Industriedenkmal zu erhalten und zum Museum auszubauen.
In einem Gutachten der Unteren Denkmalbehörde vom 13.3.1989 heißt es:
"Der Styrumer Wasserturm läßt eine am Vorbild eines Wehrturms orientierte Architektur erkennen, die typisch für die frühe Industriearchitektur ist. Es handelt sich um einen dreigeschossigen Backsteinbau mit achteckigem, sich unten verjüngendem Sockel, der durch mehrere waagerechte Mauerwerksbänder sowie durch ein abgestuftes Kranzgesims gegliedert wird. Darüber erhebt sich ein Turmschaft in Zylinderform mit acht Fensterachsen. Der Turmschaft ist durch waagerechte Zick-Zack-Bänder in gelbem Klinker aufgeteilt. Das Spitzdach trägt mehrere Spitzgauben und eine Windrose."

Built in 1833, this is Australia's 3rd oldest light station. It is situated 7klms north of George Town where the Tamar River enters Bass Straight. Fairy penguins nest under the bushes on the headland and we saw three of them in their burrows the afternoon prior to this sunrise. The southerly winds coming off Antarctica makes this exposed coast an extremely harsh environment. Glad I had my thermals on!
The beautiful Liberty grain elevator. Built in 1911, closed in 2000 and now privately owned. The owner kindly gave me a tour of this beauty, showing off the stacked 2x6s with which it is built and which are still holding it up.
Liberty, Saskatchewan, Canada.
I wrote a blog post about my springtime Saskatchewan trip that has some behind-the-scenes pics and stories which you might enjoy.
I love photographing on the Canadian Prairies and I've been travelling there to do so since 2013. If you'd like to see my other Prairie images, feel free to take a look at the album.
At one time, grain elevators could be found every 8 to 10 miles along every railway line in western Canada. That allowed most farmers to make a round trip to an elevator to deliver and sell their grain with a horse and wagon in one day. From that elevator the grain would be shipped to ports on the Great Lakes or the west coast, across Canada and around the world. Grain elevators started appearing across the Prairies in the late 19th century, and the number of grain elevators peaked in 1938, when there were nearly 6,000 primary (country) elevators in the Prairie provinces. Many factors led to the decline of the primary elevator: the Depression, increased mechanization, improved roads for transportation, rural depopulation, the closing of branch lines of the railway and the buying out or merging of the grain companies and the building of large, concrete grain terminals. In 2023 there were only around 400 country elevators left in Saskatchewan and only about 100 are still in use. Many of the old, wooden elevators have been destroyed – burned down, struck by lightning, demolished - but some of them still remain - weathered but beautiful and stalwart.

Category 20: Self-Repro Bricktime
What would the laboratory for researching the self-reproducing LEGO brick look like? At least 1 LEGO propeller must be used, no matter what size!
3D printing is so 2020, the future is.. growing!LEGO was already making bricks from plants… but could they make plants from Bricks? Or… even better, make plants that produce Bricks?
In their efforts to become an ecologically sustainable company, LEGO made the groundbreaking (hehe, see what I did here?) discovery of ABS-based seeds used to grow plants that produce LEGO elements!
TLG has always exploited ... Err.. I mean, leveraged their fan base as their primary source of data to develop new products. This experiment is no different and is currently being tested by a few selected subjects.
Pictured here is little Timmy's room; Timmy loves LEGO and he was thrilled to give this new toy a try. He has been taking good care of his new LEGO plant, watering, grooming, he can't wait to play with his first crop!
The critics that have said the seeds could spread in the wild and result in mutations of the flora are completely unfounded, I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

The Plaza de España ("Spain Square", in English) is a plaza located in the Parque de María Luisa (Maria Luisa Park), in Seville, Spain built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It is a landmark example of the Regionalism Architecture, mixing elements of the Renaissance Revival and Moorish Revival (Neo-Mudéjar) styles in Spanish architecture.
The Plaza de España, designed by Aníbal González, was a principal building built on the Maria Luisa Park's edge to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits. González combined a mix of 1920s Art Deco and 'mock Mudejar', and Neo-Mudéjar styles. The Plaza de España complex is a huge half-circle with buildings continually running around the edge accessible over the moat by numerous bridges representing the four ancient kingdoms of Spain. In the centre is the Vicente Traver fountain. By the walls of the Plaza are many tiled alcoves, each representing a different province of Spain.

Built in 1852 by Joel Smith as a Tavern (Inn) on the stagecoach route between Chicago and St. Louis,Mo., it acquired the name since it was roughly halfway between the 2 cities. Also known as the Sulphur Springs Hotel,due to there being three springs located behind the building. Abraham Lincoln stayed here,and possibly Edward,the Prince of Wales, while on a hunting trip in the U.S. in 1860. In 1862,the building was sold, and was converted to a farmhouse. In 1902, Henry Zimmerman bought the property,and it was while he was tilling the land that Indian artifacts were found. Subsequent digging and excavating revealed that this was the site of the village known as Kaskaskia, home to around 20,000 Illinois Indians at it's peak. It was here that Father Marquette set up a mission in 1674, only to die a year later from illness contracted during the winter of 1674 (spent in a hastily built hut at what was to become Chicago). In 1700,the village was abandoned by the natives, and a new village of Kaskaskia (still a city today) was formed along the Mississippi River.

“Ice & Snow World” across the Song Hua River is Part of the Harbin Ice Lantern Festival, at Night all Sculptures are colourful lighted with LED. Over a 100.000 Tones of Ice Blocks cut from the Song Hua River are used for the Festival Sculptors & Carvings from January till End of February, it is one of the largest of its kind & most interesting one in the World.
It was said that some Fishermen made rough & simple Ice-Lanterns of ice just for lighting, with the Time passed, Ice-Lanterns embodied their Cultural Features & artistic Fascination gradually. The making of Ice-Lanterns & Ice Sculptures started in the 1960s.
Harbin is an interesting Chinese City in the Heilongjiang Province Northwest of China & is strongly influenced by Russian Citizen which first immigrated to Harbin a 120 Years ago.
Harbin was the birthplace of Jin (1115-1234) & Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties, the latter of which had a very considerable influence on modern Chinese history. At the end of the 19th century, Russia built the terminus of the Middle East Railway here. Later, more than 160,000 foreigners from 33 countries migrated to Harbin, promoting the development of a capitalist economy in the city. The economy & culture of Harbin achieved unprecedented prosperity at that time & the city gradually grew into a famous international commercial port. Assimilating external culture, Harbin created its unique & exotic cityscape. The majestic St. Sofia Orthodox Church & Zhongyang Dajie each built in a European style have the effect of bringing you into an 'eastern Moscow'. Even though you are sure to be attracted by various exotic buildings, the Dragon Tower which embodies the wisdom of the Chinese people is a must on your journey.

It is a lesser but elegant temple built by Alaungsithu in 1131 A.D. Standing on a high brick platform, the temple faces north and access to it is made by a flight of steps at the north¬west comer. Both the hall and the inner corridor round the central mass have doorways and open windows which freely admit light and air.
The arch-pediments, pilasters, plinth and comice mouldings are decorated with fine stucco carvings. Its history is recorded on two stone slabs set in the inner walls. The lithic inscription in verse is celebrated for the style and elegance of its composition. It is mentioned therein that the temple was completed in seven months.Bagan, located on the banks of the Ayeyarwady River, is home to the largest and densest concentration of Buddhist temples, pagodas, stupas and ruins in the world with many dating from the 11th and 12th centuries. The shape and construction of each building is highly significant in Buddhism with each component part taking on spiritual meaning.
With regards to tour comparison between this immense archeological site and the other significant archeological gem of Southeast Asia, the Angkor sites, this analogy may be helpful:
Angkor ruins are like a Chinese Lauriat banquet where food is presented in spectacular servings with a suspenseful wait between items which are hidden beneath curtains of forests. On the other hand, Bagan is served in Spanish Tapas style, the ingredients exposed to the customer and shown in small bite-size servings, with the next attraction close and visible at hand, in shorter intervals.
Another analogy between Angkor and Bagan Sites when distinguishing temple structures is through their stupa and spire shapes.
An example is gourd for Shwezigon Pagoda and durian for Ananda, Thatbyinnyu, and Mahabodi Temples. In another way of imagining, Bagan temples are like topped with inverted ice cream cones.
What makes the temples look romantic is the process of graceful aging. For some reason, there are no windbreakers around as shown by the barren, desert-dry mountain range to the west past the river, spinning occasional micro twisters that spawn loose dust particles everywhere from the eroded earth to the structures. This phenomenon had peeled off so much the stucco coating of the temples to reveal the brick structural blocks with its rusty, reddish, and sometimes golden brown-like patina when hit by the sun's rays.
Erosion is a significant threat to this area, not only the wind chipping away the buildings' plastering but also water from the mighty Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River threatens the riverbanks. The strong river current has already washed away half of the area of Old Bagan. It used to be a rectangular-shaped piece of enclave protected by a perimeter wall. Now what remains is roughly the triangular eastern half part.
Other images of Bagan which make a lasting impression to tourists aside from the spire-fringed skyline; stupas sporting that tumbledown look yet crowned with glitter-studded golden miter-like sikaras; the ubiquitous pair of ferocious stone lions flanking a temple's door; the spiky and lacy eave fascia woodcarvings lining a monastery's ascending tiers of roofs; tall palmyras or toddy palms with willowy trunks, bougainvilleas, exotic cotton trees, and the likes bringing life to the arid landscape and abandoned ruins; squirrels playfully and acrobatically scampering on the walls and pediments of temples; horse drawn carriages lazily carrying drop-jawed tourists; sleepy moving grandfather's bullock carts grinding on a dust-choked trail; not to mention the garbage left around, stray dogs loitering, longyi clad men spitting betel chews in copious amounts everywhere, overgrown weeds and the pestering dust.
Built for the Missouri Pacific as MP 1150 in April 1966, this veteran EMD has been switching cars for almost 60 years. The locomotive made it to Union Pacific's roster after the MP-UP merger, but never received a UP number. It was sold as MP 1150 to Precision National Corp in April 1985. PNC turned around and sold the locomotive in December 1986 to Railway Switching Services (Railserve), and the engine has been doing contract switching ever since.
