Went on a little road trip round the Basque region of Spain and France a couple of years ago. Started off in Bilbao. It was rather grey the few days we were there so no sparkly colourful reflective cladding shots of the Guggenheim for me! Started playing around with the double exposure feature to try and do something different with a much photographed building.
Castle Howard is a stately home in Henderskelfe, North Yorkshire, 15 miles (24 km) north east of York. A private residence, it has been the home of the Carlisle branch of the Howard family for more than 300 years. Castle Howard has been used as a filming location in several films and television shows, including in Granada Television's 1981 television adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited and in a 2008 film adaptation.
The Pyramid is a folly on the Castle Howard estate. It lies on St Anne's Hill, in line with the centre of the house, and was built in 1728, most probably designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor. Hawksmoor had already built a pyramid in nearby Pretty Wood, and in 1732 proposed one clad in copper or silver, which remained unbuilt. It was grade I listed in 1954.
The Bastion walls with interval towers run east to west for approximately 1 mile, immediately south of the Pyramid Gate. Designed c1723 by Vanbrugh as part of the spectacular southern approach to Castle Howard.
A sexy nylon-clad leg ending in a high-heeled slingback is always a welcome sight. ðŸ‘
There’s something timelessly elegant about that combination. The delicate nylon enhances the graceful lines of the leg, while the slingback adds a touch of sophistication and draws attention to the beautifully shaped foot and heel.
Especially with high heels, the entire silhouette becomes more refined and feminine. The open heel design of the slingback creates an extra element of charm, revealing just enough to make the look feel both classy and captivating.
It’s one of those classic fashion combinations that never seems to lose its appeal — stylish, confident and effortlessly glamorous :-).

Built during the 1690s in Kinnarumma, Marks commune, Västergötland. Both the roof and the walls have wood shingle cladding. The roof is painted with tar and the walls with traditional red paint that contains pigment from the Swedish copper mine in Falun.

The Marathon Dam is unique world wide because its external cladding (the insulating layer) of white Penteliko marble is the marble used in the construction of the Parthenon temple and the other buildings on the Acropolis of Athens.

Just a random snap of deck I once bought and sold :) I bet my old friend from Iceland Palli Pungur would have loved to own the while eating his fermented shark with some Icelandic Brännvin, playing some obscure Icelandic card game :)

Thanks to all who comment or favorite; it is always appreciated!
This photo was taken in Charleston, SC, and shows a window beautifully framed by lush ivy. Charleston is known for its well-preserved historic architecture, which reflects its rich history and cultural heritage. The buildings in Charleston often exhibit elements of Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival styles, with a strong emphasis on symmetry, proportion, and decorative details.
The ivy-clad window in the photo brings to mind the city's antebellum homes, which frequently feature large windows with shutters, brick facades, and abundant greenery. The ivy adds charm and is a natural cooling system during Charleston's hot summers.
Charleston's architectural legacy dates back to the colonial era, with many buildings surviving the Civil War and hurricanes. The city's commitment to preservation has maintained its historic charm, making it a popular destination for history enthusiasts and architecture lovers.
