This farm has been in the family of a good friend, and now across-the-street neighbor, for over 100 years. His son lives there now and his grandpa, after receiving the original 120 acre farm as a wedding gift from his in-laws, built the house and the old red barn in the early 1900's. HFF
Arriving at Escanaba, Michigan, three Chicago & North Western C628’s have a trainload of iron ore from Ishpeming. Here the ore will be transloaded to an ore boat on Lake Michigan.

……Coalport was famous for its China works, this 19th century relic is in fine fettle that would have heated using coal. Enjoyed a little circular walk up & down the River Severn from Jackfield to Coalport and back. This shot is along the canal that runs parallel to the river to the Incline that took cargo off the Severn lifting it up in 5 ton lots over 200 feet to the Shropshire canal network. My iPhoneaday 365 shot of the day - edited in Lightroom, feel free to press Z (or pinch out) to take a closer look. . Alan:-)…….

One of Savannah’s most beloved attractions is Forsyth Park. Among the park’s abundant greenery is the dense urban forest of gnarled live oaks draped with Spanish moss. The old Oak trees are as iconic to the city of Savannah as its man-made historic treasures.
Since the early 19th century, Savannah planted out trees in its streets and squares to provide shade in the summer and beauty the year round, earning it the title of “The Forest City.” Today, its arching live oaks, swathed with picturesquely gothic drapes of Spanish moss, are one of the city’s most charming and typical sights.

St Govan’s 13th century Chapel is one of three points of photographic interest (the Green Bridge of Wales and Elegug stacks being the other two) accessible only at weekends as the only route in is through the Ministry of Defence’s Castlemartin gunnery range
The chapel sits precariously on a cliff-lined cove on the site of a holy well once frequented by pilgrims.
I composed this photograph while walking through a residential area in Palm Desert, California. It is, I believe, an example of Mid-century Modern architecture, quite common in this area.
Mid-century modern was originally considered a collection of homes built after World War II, rather than a specific style. However, "mid-century modern" now often denotes a particular building or decorating style, characterized by clean lines, minimal decoration, and a connection with nature. It features a wide, low house footprint with large, open spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an emphasis on bringing the outdoors in.
Time travel, is it possible? As far as I am concerned it certainly is. This street was constructed in the 17th Century in the town of Saint Andrews. The only thing that has changed is the height of the trees and the road surface over the years.
Built over the River Arle in the 13th century, the fulling mill was used in the local production of woollen material and is now a private residence.

The Protestant Church of St. Katharinen, which dates back to the 13th century, with its 115 meter high tower cannot be overlooked when you are traveling in the Hafencity in Hamburg.
It is considered the oldest upright building in Hamburg that is still in use.
Due to its proximity to the harbor, it is considered the sailors' church. That is why she also bears the name of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the patron saint of sailors and merchants.
Since Hamburg was one of Europe's centers for trade and shipping at the time, this makes perfect sense.
Further to the left in the background you can see the church of St. Nikolai, which was destroyed in the Second World War and of which only the tower remains today as a memorial.
Die aus dem 13. Jarhundert stammende evangelische Kirche St. Katharinen ist mit ihrem 115 Metern hohen Turm t nicht zu übersehen, wenn Ihr in der Hafencity in Hamburg unterwegs seid.
Sie gilt als das älteste aufrecht stehende Gebäude von Hamburg, welches noch immer in Funkton ist.
Auf Grund ihrer Nähe zum Hafen gilt sie als die Kirche der Seeleute. Darum träge sie auch den Namen der Heiligen Katharina von Alexandrien dem Schutzpatron der Schiffer und Kaufleute.
Da Hamburg zur damaligen Zeit eines der europäischen Zentren für Handel und Schiffahrt war, macht das absolut Sinn.
Weiter links im Hintergrund seht Ihr noch die Kirche St. Nikolai, die allerdings im 2. Weltkrieg zerstört wurde und von der heute nur noch der Turm als Mahnmal erhalten ist.

The Fifteenth Century Bookshop is an incredible building at the top of Lewes High Street. The bookshop is housed in a fascinating, 15th Century, beamed building. The outside has recently undergone a sensitive renovation, in keeping with the traditions of its history.
Lewes, East Sussex, UK
Lewes is the county town of East Sussex and is the centre of the Lewes local government district. Its population is now around 17 thousand.
Beneath the vast expanse of the Dallas sky, The Statler hotel stands as a testament to Mid-Century Modern architecture.
Last week I posted a photo of the outside of this house at Avoncroft Museum of Buildings. The inside has been presented as it could have been when first built in the 16th Century.
The house, called The Town House at the museum, was originally in Bromsgrove. It was demolished in 1962 and eventually reconstructed at the museum, opening to the public in 1967.

Century Plant (Agave americana)
For my 100 Flowers Project - 2025
You may remember I posted a couple of images of this Century Plant in bud back in December. I noticed this morning that some of the clusters have flowered. So of course I had to include it in my 100 Project - it will be a long time before it flowers again.
This 17th century timber-framed building in the High Street in Church Stretton, Shropshire, is believed to have once been the coach-house to the building on the far right, though that dates from the following century. It has been converted to form two shops with living accommodation of the first floor. Some restoration has been undertaken in the 20th century, and the building is Grade II-listed.
The pretty little town of Church Stretton is at the heart of the Shropshire Hills, and has 87 listed buildings in the immediate area.
