The Großer Markt is a centrally situated place in the Weseler city centre. It is a location of the Willibrordi cathedral and the historical city hall of the town. Twice weekly a weekly market takes place.
One and a half centuries after the lending of the town rights the first city hall of the town originated in 1390 in the big market. In 1391 the davorliegende place was paved. Already in 1455 the city hall building was torn off again because it was not held representative enough in since 1407 to the Hanse alliance belonging Wesel for and claimed, besides, too much place at the market. As a result the historical city hall of Wesel originated in the Flemish style which existed till 1945 and whose facade was reconstructed till 2011. The wealth of the Weseler businessmen flowed in onto the building. Besides, in 1540 the cathedral was finished, so that the big market since then with city hall, cathedral and weekly market was the centre of the town. For example, the main guard of the Spanish troops also lay there when held this Wesel in the early 17th century occupied.

The Piano Man is the most recognizable song in Billy's repertoire. You can identify with this song, we’ve all been to a bar, we probably know a John at the bar, or the waitress practicing politics or that businessmen that is getting stoned. The greatest line being “they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinkin' alone. The song was based off his real work experiences playing the piano at a bar in LA.
It is now a highlight of Joel's live shows, where he usually allows the audience to sing the chorus. In 2015, the Library of Congress selected "Piano Man" for preservation in the National Recording Registry for its "cultural, historic, or artistic significance".

The first real (as in "time to shovel") snowfall of the winter season brought out a small but steady stream of sledders to Springfield's Pasfield Golf Course this past Sunday (January 3).
Pasfield Golf Course is a 9-hole public facility that has been part of the Springfield golf scene since 1898. Founded by a group of prominent local businessmen in 1898 as The Springfield Golf Club, the course was renamed the Pasfield Golf Course when the Springfield Park District took control of the property in the early 1930s. In addition to golf, Pasfield Golf Course is the site of the most popular sled hill in the Springfield area.

"Pour un peu d’électricité
on hypothèque l’humanité
pour quelques heures de kilowatts
on se retrouve à quatre pattes
prêt à se faire sodomiser
par la fée électricité

que le soleil c’est pas bézef
que l’hydrolien ça marche pas
pour assurer le samedi

y a rien qui peut mieux faire l’affaire
qu’une bonne vielle centrale nucléaire.
Une terre par tête mais tous la gueule par terre (x4)
Car ce qu’ils oublient de vous dire
pour le meilleur comme pour le pire
c’est qu’le cadeau qu’ils vous ont fait
il va falloir s’en occuper
pour vos enfants ça peut aller
vous aurez l’temps d’leur expliquer
qu’z’êtes fait niquer sur une affaire
du nom de centrale nucléaire
mais les enfants de vos enfants
les p’tits enfants d'vos p’tits enfants
allez leur dire, la belle affaire
qu’ils en ont pour cent millénaires…
Des générations d’enfilés

Pour quelques tonnes de CO2
On hypothèque l’humanité
On s’échange ça comme on peut
Aux rendez-vous de l’OMC
Pour quelques barils de pétrole

Pour une centaine d’abrutis

Des industriels grabataires

"The Wreckers" is a sculpture in Mallory Square in Key West, Florida. The plaque in front of the sculpture said the following:
"This magnificent sculpture "The Wreckers" at 18 feet long and 25 feet high captures the spirit of Key West as a bold, boisterous and bustling sea town out on the frontier of a young America. The early wreckers are depicted engaging in their work of saving lives and cargo from a vessel come to ultimate peril on our reefs. Wrecking was the island's first economy and the reason for her early existence. In fact, Key West became the richest city per capita in the U.S. during the mid 1800's due to the salvage fees received by the wrecking captains and crews; and ultimately the businessmen, lawyers, clerks, packers, dock hands and insurance agents ashore. The monument was created at the hands of master award winning sculpture James Mastin of Miami, Florida"

A fully rigged ship is a sailing vessel with three or more masts, all of them square-rigged.
On it's way back from SailAmsterdam2015, Dar Młodzieży ("The Gift of Youth") is a Polish sail training ship designed by Zygmunt Choreń. A prototype of a class of six, the following five slightly-differing units were built subsequently by the same shipyard for the merchant fleet of the former Soviet Union. Her sister ships are Mir, Druzhba, Pallada, Khersones and Nadezhda.
The Dar replaced the Dar Pomorza. In the 70's the Gdynia Maritime Academy discussed to built a new ship. The youth and student organisations started fundraising which was succesfull! The sailing craft and the will of fight as well as the imposing appearance of the crew of "Dar Mlodziezy" is admired all over the world. Therefore, the vessel is so willingly visited both by ordinary tourists and distinguished guests. So she is the place of unique events and special ceremonies. Aboard this vessel, members of the Royal families, heads of the states, famous artists, businessmen and Polish colonies will find the atmosphere of hospitality of the Polish home.
The ship was launched in November 1981 at the Gdańsk shipyard, Poland, and commissioned for service in July 1982 at Gdynia, thus replacing her forerunner Dar Pomorza. Her home port is Gdynia. The Dar Młodzieży is the first Polish-built, ocean-going sailing vessel to circumnavigate the globe (1987–88), thus repeating the famous voyage of her predecessor (1934–35).

The first luxury hotel in Toronto is waiting for more tourist and businessmen to arrive. Weather is a big draw; people come from Caribbean to experience the snow sometimes until June. The King Edward Hotel was built 120 years ago for an astronomical sum. Today you can buy a little bungalow for the same price in better part of the city. I have never stayed there, but still hoping one day to experience the famous Crystal Ballroom, which was closed four decades until 2017. There were major chances since architects Henry Cobb and E.J. Lennox designed it. Still, it is in demand for movies shots, evoking the elegance of the past.

Remembering a lovely and adventurous day spent wandering the streets of Hội An, Vietnam.
Located in Hoi An Ancient Town - A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Bridge is one of the most attractive cultural destinations in Vietnam. Being built in the 16th century, this monument has witnessed numberless changes in the town.
The Bridge, known as Cau Pagoda (Chùa Cầu), was built in the 16th century with Japanese businessmen’s assistance. The bridge has been associated with a monster’s legend called Namazu, a Japanese mythological monster whose movements cause earthquakes and floods. Its head is located in India, while its body is in Vietnam and its tail in Japan.
The bridge was built with the belief of a magical sword to pin down Namazu’s back. Therefore, the monster could not wriggle, preventing natural disasters in Vietnam, Japan, and India. Hence, the lives of people in these three countries would happen in peace and prosperity.
The Bridge has gone through seven renovations over 400 years, particularly in 1763, 1815, 1875, 1917, 1962, 1986, and 1996. Some small adjustments have been made on the roof, floor, and pillars.

The Memphis Red Sox were an American Negro League baseball team that was active from 1920 to 1959. Originally named the Barber College Baseball Club, the team was initially owned and operated by Arthur P. Martin, a local Memphis barber. In the late 1920s the Martin brothers, all three Memphis doctors and businessmen, purchased the Red Sox. J. B. Martin, W. S. Martin, and B. B. Martin, would retain control of the club till its dissolution in 1959. The Red Sox played as members, at various times, of the Negro Southern League, Negro National League, and Negro American League. The team was never a titan of the Negro Leagues like wealthier teams in northern cities of the United States, but sound management lead to a continuous thirty-nine years of operation, a span that was exceeded by very few other teams. Following integration the team had five players that would eventually make the rosters of Major League Baseball teams and two players that were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Shinano-machi is located 2o km northeast of Togakushi and 20km north of Nagano city. It is in a heavy snowfall zone on the Japan Sea slope. Shinano is the old name of the Nagano prefecture, and the municipality borders Niigata prefecture to the north across the Sekigawa (関川) river. The naming of the municipality may be intended to emphasise that it belongs to the Nagano prefecture despite being in the same watershed of the Niigata municipalities.

The Richmond Dairy Apartments is a Tudor-Revival, fortress-like former manufacturing structure into which three, 40 foot masonry milk bottles have been inserted at strategic exterior building corners.
The Richmond Dairy Co. was founded in 1890 by three Richmond businessmen, A. R. Scott, J. O. Scott, and T. L. Blanton. By 1913 they had engaged the prominent local architecture firm of Carneal & Johnston to design a modern diary facing North Jefferson Street. Client and architect used the strong, vertical form of milk bottles to project the message that sterilized glass milk bottles could guarantee freshness compared to less hygienic milk tins.
Although the company, which produced Dolly Madison ice cream here, had some 389 employees in 1954, it ceased operations in 1970. The empty building fell into disrepair.
By 1990 work began on what would be a challenging transformation from dairy to apartment complex.
The figure of Jesus Christ the King of the Universe is a reinforced concrete sculpture erected in 2010.
The total height of the monument is 36 m, of which 33 m falls on the figure of Jesus and 3 m on gilded crown. The statue was erected at artificial mound a height of 16.5 meters, (the total height of the monument and the mound is 52.5 m). The cost of the entire construction is estimated at about 6 million zlotys, which were covered by voluntary contributions from parishioners, American Poles, and local businessmen.
The sculpture refers to the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, but is 3 meters higher. Today the statue of the monument in Świebodzin is the highest sculpture depicting Jesus Christ in the world.

Figura Jezusa Chrystusa Króla Wszechświata to żelbetowa rzeźba wzniesiona w 2010.
Całkowita wysokość pomnika wynosi 36 m, z czego 33 m przypada na figurę Jezusa a 3 m na wieńczącą pomnik pozłacaną koronę. Pomnik wzniesiony został na liczącym 16,5 m wysokości sztucznie usypanym kopcu (łączna wysokość pomnika i kopca wynosi 52,5 m). Koszty całej budowy szacuje się na ok 6 milionów złotych, które zostały pokryte z dobrowolnych datków parafian, Polonii amerykańskiej, a także lokalnych przedsiębiorców.
Forma rzeźby nawiązuje do pomnika Chrystusa Odkupiciela w Rio de Janeiro, od którego jest o 3 metry wyższa. Obecnie statua pomnika w Świebodzinie jest najwyższą rzeźbą przedstawiającą Jezusa Chrystusa na świecie.
The old John Marshall residence, circa 1812, Old Shawneetown Illinois. The first bank of the Illinois Territory was chartered here in 1816. The old stone and brick chimney in the yard bears testimony to another early structure that was probably destroyed by a fire, leaving the fireplace still standing two hundred years later. This had probably been a log structure used to house servants for the big house as they say. This was one of the first points of entry into the Illinois Territory before there was any infrastructure in the future state. Banks would be necessary and crucial for commercial development. John Marshall must have been incredibly bullish on the future prospects of the region to put up a fine house of this sort at such an early date when most settlers were residing in one room log structures. The Ohio River is close by, which served as a superhighway for settlers traveling to the new territory. So important in it’s day, Shawneetown is now mostly an abandonment. Legend has it that a party of businessmen traveled all the way down here from Chicago to see about a lone from the bank but were denied by Mr. Marshall who stated that Chicago was too far away from Shawneetown to ever amount to anything.

The Pennsylvania Hotel is historically important for its contribution to the development of the Hastings Street corridor as Vancouver's primary commercial thoroughfare during the early twentieth century. Gastown had developed as the earliest centre of Vancouver's commercial activities, and the subsequent construction of commercial buildings and hotels along Hastings Street during the western Canadian boom lasted until the First World War. This led to a southward shift of the commercial district, and the Pennsylvania Hotel - built in 1906 as the Woods Hotel for J.S. and Eliza Woods - was one of the first major hotels to be built on Hastings Street. One of the city's better establishments, this hotel accommodated wealthy travellers and commercial businessmen, rather than the seasonal workers who lived in less elaborate hotels and lodgings in the area. It served a combined function, providing commercial space on the ground floor and lodging rooms on the upper floors, contributing to the lively street life in downtown Vancouver. Over time, as the business district shifted further west, the east side of downtown went into economic decline, and for many years the Pennsylvania Hotel provided low cost housing for the area's residents.
The location of the Pennsylvania Hotel represents the nexus of the transportation network that served Edwardian-era Vancouver and the surrounding region. Situated near commuter rail and streetcar lines, and within walking distance of the harbour, the ferry to North Vancouver, and the Union Steamship Docks at the south foot of Carrall Street, this hotel's strategic location was further enhanced when the terminus of the British Columbia Electric Railway was built across the street, connecting downtown with the people and goods of the Fraser Valley.
The Pennsylvania Hotel is also significant for its sophisticated architecture, strongly influenced by contemporary styles in the United States. The highly-articulated facade, composed in a rippling sequence of four-storey bay windows and originally capped by a prominent corner turret, was specifically reminiscent of the design of many buildings in San Francisco prior to the 1906 earthquake. Other original features reflected the influence of the Romanesque Revival style, demonstrating the transitional nature of architecture during the mid-Edwardian era, before the pervasive influence of classicism. Typical of downtown Vancouver, the Pennsylvania Hotel had functional basement areaways that extended under the street, with sidewalk prisms to bring light into the underground space.
The Pennsylvania Hotel is additionally significant as a surviving mid-career design by prolific architect, William T. Whiteway (1856-1940). Whiteway arrived in Vancouver at the time of the Great Fire and worked in Vancouver from 1886-1887, then followed other building booms in the United States and Canada before returning to Vancouver where he became one of the leading local architects. His designs in the area include the original part of the Woodward's Department Store at Hastings and Abbott Streets (1903), the Kelly, Douglas warehouse on Water Street (begun 1905) and the World (Sun) Tower at Beatty and Pender Streets, once the tallest commercial building in the British Empire (1911-12).

There are a few of these old mansions which formerly belonged to rich businessmen in the city. Unhappily some of them have been left to rot and are in a very poor state of repair. This is sad because those that have been renovated are magnificent.
A view looking west in the 400 block of Maine St. in the heart of downtown Quincy across from Washington Park, the city square. On the left is the State Savings Loan and Trust, a historic bank building built in 1892 for brothers Lorenzo and Charles H. Bull, who were prominent Quincy businessmen and community leaders. The Chicago architectural firm Patton & Fisher designed the bank in the Richardsonian Romanesque style.
Constructed of pink Missouri granite, the building's exterior is graced by handsomely carved Romanesque decorative details, massive iron and oak doors, and beautiful curvilinear window grilles of wrought iron. The building has a five bay facade, with three bays on the original portion and two on the western addition (right) that was designed in 1906 by prominent Quincy architect Ernest M. Wood. The bays are each marked by a window with a thick stone arch. The original section is topped by a large front-facing gable, providing for attic space above the second story. The ground floor of the historic structure is now occupied by a restaurant, with office space above. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
Seen on the corner of Maine and 4th Street (next intersection) is the former Quincy Free Public Library building, now repurposed as the home of the Quincy History Museum. Completed in 1888 at a construction cost of $45,000, the limestone building was designed in Richardsonian Romanesque Revival-style. The former library is one of the most prominent structures in the Downtown Quincy Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. The former library also is an excellent example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture, with rough faced stonework, deep set windows and parapet gable roof.
Quincy, known as Illinois's "Gem City," is the seat of Adams County. Located on the Mississippi River, this west central Illinois community had a population of 40,111 at the 2020 census. During the 19th century, Quincy was a thriving transportation center as riverboats and rail service linked the city to many destinations west and along the river.
I invite you to visit my Adams County album for more views of the residential and commercial architecture in Quincy.
One of Kyoto's oldest (founded in 711 AD) and most revered Shinto shrines, Fushimi Inari serves as the headquarters for all the 40,000 shrines dedicated to Inari across Japan.
Originally the god of rice, Inari now governs the modern equivalent: success and prosperity in business. Fushimi Inari Shrine draws thousands of businessmen and tradespeople seeking blessings for their enterprises, especially at the first prayers of the New Year.
Fushimi Inari is noted for its remarkable sight of some 10,000 small torii (shrine gates) that arch over a long path up the hill behind the shrine. It takes about two hours to walk to the top of the hill. For me the challenge was to take a photo without dozens of people in view, most taking selfies. This shot was the best I could do.

An image from seven years ago that has been reprocessed and re-loaded.
Taken at this time of year it was also an intensely sunny day with strong shadows and vibrant greenery. The original didn't catch anything of the vibrant colours and was pretty flat-toned - I've processed this one for more tonal detail, and minimal highlight burn-out when viewed full-screen.
I've left the original commentary mostly unchanged........
DB Shed no. 66151 arrives at Tunstead with the 09.30 ex Lostock Works, Northwich (6H03) an hour ahead of schedule, whilst Freightliner unit 66621 waits for the road with the late running 11.49 to West Thurrock loaded cement (6L89).
To the right lies the former Midland Railway route between St Pancras and Manchester where, almost 60 years ago from this vantage point, you'd be able to watch the Midland Blue Pullman luxuriously transporting Mancunian businessmen up to The Smoke to oil the wheels of British commerce - a nice number if you could get it.
Final note, no prizes for spotting the plane turning to line up for Manchester Airport!

Regno Unito, Londra, Vauxhall, Autunno 2015
L’eco-scultore subacqueo Jason deCaires Taylor ha aperto la sua prima istallazione a Londra sulle rive del Tamigi. Dal titolo 'The Rising Tide', l'installazione era formata da quattro fieri cavalli da lavoro e relativi cavalieri sulla riva sud, che erano ogni giorno nascoste e rivelate nuovamente dalle maree.
I cavalli avevano pompe di petrolio invece dei musi e il messaggio era mettere in discussione rapporto tra il futuro del mondo e i combustibili fossili. Gli uomini d'affari corpulenti a cavallo rappresenterebbero la posizione di potere sulle risorse mentre i due bambini piccoli raffigurano le future generazioni che vivranno con le conseguenze del consumo eccessivo. La mostra si è conclusa alla fine di settembre 2015.
Underwater eco-sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor opened his first London show on the banks of the Thames. Entitled 'The Rising Tide', the installation featured four proud working horses and their riders on the South Bank, which was concealed and revealed by the tide each day.
The horse had petroleum pumps instead of snouts and the message was to question the world's future relationship with fossil fuels. The corpulent businessmen astride two horses are designed to represent the position of power over these resources, while the two small children depict future generations who will live with the consequences of overconsumption. The exhibition ended at the end of September 2015.
Otago was a three-masted iron merchant ship of 367 gross register tons (GRT). The Otago was built in Glasgow, launched in 1869, and sailed initially to New Zealand in 1871. The ship was sold to Adelaide businessmen in December 1871 and then remained in Australian management and was scrapped near Hobart.
After use as a merchant ship the Otago was hulked in 1902, and arrived in Hobart in 1905 for use as a coal hulk by Huddart Parker & Co., who sold the vessel in 1931 for scrap. The vessel's Hobart register was finally closed in 1951.
John Yates Chisholm (1849-1918) was a prominent Bloomington businessman and real estate dealer. In 1888, he commissioned architect George H. Miller to design this Victorian Romanesque-style office building in the 200 block of E. Front St.
Miller, whose work has been seen throughout this McLean County series, delighted in the variation of colors and textures. Like many architects of the late 19th century, he was intrigued by the abundance of new ceramic products which were coming to market. The Chisholm building shown here was an early example of the use of terra cotta panels and other ceramics.
Miller believed businessmen wanted their buildings to be distinctive and be clearly distinguished from those of their neighbors. Both the Higgins Marble Works building next door (also designed by Miller and previously featured in this series) and the Chisholm Building are Victorian Romanesque-styles; yet the facades are quite distinct from each other.

When Mary Dobell's debts had been paid off, it was sold to John and George Russell in 1832 and remained in the Russell family until the death of John's great grandson, another John Russell, in 1958.
