A good old cheese sandwich; it’s what made us so tall! Learn all about the typical Dutch delicacies at Catharina Hoeve, a replica of a traditional farm from Oostzaan. The cheese makers, clad in traditional costumes, will tell you all about the different types of cheese. After all, what exactly is the difference between Gouda, goats and herb cheese? There are daily demonstrations, in 10 different languages, allowing you to see everything that’s involved in producing the cheese. And, of course, you’ll get to taste some of those delicious cheeses. But be warned: a little taste probably won’t be enough for you! That’s why we’ve got all sorts of goodies to buy in the farm shop.
This peak is on the rocky mountains in Colorado, at 12850 ft from MSL. These places are called Tundras. The surface soil is frozen and no vegetation other than low mosses can grow here. The ice has not melted completely even by June. A good motorable road passes through this point where tourists stop and watch the awesome beauty of the mountains. The shadows you find are cast by the clouds. There are no trees or buildings here.

Description of Historic Place
The Navy Hall stands alone in a carefully manicured park setting just below Fort George National Historic Site. Designed with clear, clean lines, it is a low, rectangular, stone-clad structure with a hipped-roof clad in copper, and with a symmetrical organization of its windows and entry points. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
Heritage Value
The Navy Hall is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building because of its historical associations, and its architectural and environmental values.
Historical Value:
The Navy Hall is a very good example of a building associated with the beginnings of the heritage movement in the first half of the 20th century. It illustrates changing approaches to the management of important historic buildings over time. In particular, it illustrates the role of aesthetics in conservation in the 1930s. Originally a commissariat storehouse, regular troops, the militia and also the Boy Scouts used the building, built in 1815. In the 1930s, the building was taken over by the Niagara Parks Commission.
Architectural Value:
The Navy Hall is valued for its good aesthetic design. The exterior fabric of the structure, the stone cladding, the copper clad roof, and the enhanced symmetry of the fenestration are features of the 1930s intervention. These features, clearly of a later era and philosophy, reflect the classical revival tastes of the period and the design idiom of the Niagara Parks Commission. Good functional design is evidenced in the placement of doors and windows, and in the spatial arrangement and planning of the interior.
Environmental Value:
The Navy Hall reinforces the landscaped parkway that runs along the Niagara lakefront and is a familiar landmark to residents and to visitors.
Character-Defining Elements
The character-defining elements of the Navy Hall should be respected.
Its good aesthetic, good functional design and good quality materials and craftsmanship, for example:
-the simple, rectangular massing.
-the low-pitched hipped roof, the copper roof cladding, and the symmetrically placed chimneys.
-the stone cladding of the exterior walls, the small multi-paned windows and large entrances.
-the interior spatial arrangement of the principal rooms.
The manner in which the Navy Hall reinforces the landscaped setting and is a familiar landmark, as evidenced by:
-its simple design and materials that harmonize with the landscaped parkway consisting of well-maintained lawns and walks, all introduced as part of the Niagara Park Commission’s parkway landscaping in the 1930s.
-its visibility and recognition by those frequenting the parkway and the National Historic Site.
Under the shady roof
Of branching Elm Star-proof,
Follow me,
I will bring you where she sits
Clad in splendor as befits
Her deity.
Such a rural Queen
All Arcadia hath not seen.

Detail from a large drum-shaped building on the waterfront in Akureyri on the north coast of Iceland. The geometric basalt columns that are a common feature of Icelandic geology have been sliced and affixed to the exterior, with attention to spacing so that whole columns frame all openings. The effect is quite striking - one could easily picture a whole town built this way - but the earthquake-conscious Californian in me worries a lot about how the stone is attached.

on a day where the mist claims the skies, the shoreline of palmanova breathes quietly. a lone figure, clad in the luminous vest of duty, walks beside the calm sea, electric scooter in tow — a silent sentinel in the serene hush of winter. the fog lays a softening filter over the landscape, muting the colors of the beach and the trees, making the mountains appear as distant shadows. this tranquility is palpable, a stark contrast to the bustling summer months. it's a moment captured, where time slows, and palmanova's winter whispers are felt rather than heard.

I have collected many shots of the demolished floating riverside Drift Restaurant, removed late in 2022 after the earlier Brisbane River flood of February. The building had been derelict and vandalised since the significant flood destruction of January 2011.
Over the years, all cladding, windows and walls had been damaged or removed, and only the structural frame remained, topped with its iconic twin peak tensile sail roofline.
Following the 2022 February riverine flood, the remaining structure rode the floodwater peak, allowed by its footing design to rise with the waters and avoid going under again.
The success was short-lived, and the structural shell pivoted and crash-landed into the riverwalk. Its rusted steel platform's acute angle rose above the river like a broken ship’s hull awaiting its fate.
Nearby cranes, erected on barges on the river, were prepared to remedy the chaos. The future was determined. The hull platform, remaining structure and roofline were cut apart and transported back down the river.
My long-term project, looking at the years-long deterioration of this once vibrant river restaurant, has come to a close.

The metal clad grain elevator on the right is registered as a Historic Place by the province of Alberta.
This elevator 'possesses heritage value as one of the oldest extant elevators in the province built by one of its earliest milling companies. Grain elevators possess significance as both embodiments of the dominant method of grain storage and transportation throughout most of the twentieth century in Alberta and as icons of the province's social and agricultural history.'

There's a strange cylindrical office building right next to the number "5" on the front of the UBS building Broadgate Circus. It's always looked a bit out of place, especially after all the redevelopment in the area, so someone has decided to clad it in golden rectangles, and to be fair it looks pretty good!
It's a tricky one to shoot - where you've got room to maneuver you'll find there are two large windows in the way that spoil the look a bit. To get a shot without them you need to go down the side of the building, but it's right next to another so you don't have a lot of room to get it in frame. I took this at 35mm, but wish I'd had something a bit wider.

The Duke of Wellington is an ivy-clad traditional eighteenth century inn located in Danby at the heart of the North York Moors and some 15 miles inland from the yorkshire seaside resort of Whitby. Built in 1732, the Inn was formerly known as the Red Briar and later the Lord Wellington and was used as a recruiting post during the Napoleonic Wars. A cast iron plaque of the famous first duke was unearthed during restoration work and can be seen above the fireplace in the main bar. Whilst the pub has moved into the 21st century it still maintains the character and charm of a traditional country inn.
Picturesque island of #Kalsoy is the home of one of the most dramatic light houses I've ever seen: #Kallur #Lighthouse. Craggy cliffs clad in layers of green grass spike toward a sky so blue it seems to merge with the sea. Although you most of the time have cloudy weather, but not to worry, it looks just as gorgeous on moody weather. Definitely worth a visit. Just mind your step when you visit this place.

The Nature is the most beautiful dress.
I needed to lie down prone on the snow for shooting this shot. Of course I did ! The snow was over 15cm deep and so soft. I remembered my childhood and got excited. It was so fun !!
The vehicle is the Element, one of Honda’s crossover utilities, offered during model years 2003-2011. They were built in East Liberty, Ohio. This one is missing an element of body cladding on the front fender. Who knows how that happened.
Honda’s Element was offered during model years 2003-2011 as one of their crossover utilities.
Here’s a video that appeared on BBC’s Top Gear tv program. They wanted to gauge the potential reception of the vehicle by the traditional Honda owners in the UK, apparently older people.
youtu.be/msYFxo0kP34?si=nkRtIdbOFZE62p_w The premise was that the Element would be deemed as for the cool and hip if the typical elderly Honda owner rejected it.

Description of Historic Place
The Flour Store is a one-and-a-half storey wooden building with a steep pitched gable roof. It is located along the waterfront in Battle Harbour, NL and is one of several buildings that were part of mercantile operations in the community. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
Heritage Value
The Flour Store has been designated a Registered Heritage Structure by the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador for its historic and aesthetic values.
The Flour Store is historically valuable for its association with several notable merchant firms. Mercantile fishing premises were established at Battle Harbour by the firm of John Slade and Company of Poole, England in the early 1770s. Battle Harbour was a gateway to the rich fishing grounds of Labrador and was a primary port of call for fishing schooners involved in the Labrador fishery. Battle Harbour eventually became the capital of the Labrador floater fishery and developed into a year-round settlement. In 1871 John Slade and Company sold Battle Harbour to Baine Johnston and Co. Ltd., who operated from the site until 1955, when the premises were sold to Earle Brothers Freighting Services, who continued mercantile operations at Battle Harbour until the decline of the inshore fishery in the early 1990s.
The Flour Store also has historic value due to its age and as a physical reminder of a time when the cod fishery was the main industry in Newfoundland and Labrador. Studies suggest that the Flour Store, along with other mercantile buildings in Battle Harbour, was built in the first half of the 19th century. The first floor was used to store dry goods for commercial sale, while the second floor was used to store fishing gear for sale. For generations buildings such as the Flour Store were a common sight in coastal communities where the fishery was an economic mainstay.
The Flour Store has aesthetic value as it is an excellent example of the type of building constructed by mercantile firms in the 19th century. Built with a steeply pitched gable roof and clad in wooden clapboard, such buildings were designed for practical use and had to endure the rigours of a harsh environment. The Flour Store and other designated mercantile buildings in Battle Harbour are well-known buildings in the province and the entire premises is one of a few intact mercantile premises left in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Character-Defining Elements
All those elements which represent the historic and aesthetic value of the Flour Store, including:
-number of storeys;
-steeply pitched gable roof;
-wooden roof shingles;
-wooden clapboard;
-corner boards;
-original window size, style, trim and placement;
-original size, style, trim, placement and hardware of exterior doors;
-flag pole on main gable;
-wooden crane on main gable;
-size, style and placement of exterior stairs;
-traditional colour scheme of white with red trim;
-wooden post and cribbing foundations;
-massing, dimension, location and orientation of building, and;
