The Peruvian town of Trujillo is a colonial gem. A major attraction is its architecture with many iron window grills.
Wow in large: View large on black
How can a country be free, when among others, this kind of mentality is still prevalent.
Happy Independence Day anyway.

This pier is in Colonial Beach Virginia and the photo was taken on a very wet, gray sort of day. Just like today as a matter of fact! Colonial Beach is a small town in what is called "the upper neck" of Virginia and used to be a very popular destination for the residents of Washington DC but now that has all shifted to the Maryland beaches like Ocean City and Rehobeth. This is a small sand beach on the Potomac River.
The Horton House on Jekyll Island was built in 1743. The colonists burned oyster shells(CaCO3) to make lime(CaO) and then mixed lime, water, sand, and oyster shells. This mixture was poured into forms where it hardened into "tabby".
Major William Horton also used his chemistry skills in his brewery right down the road where he brewed Georgia's first beer.
During the Union Occupation of Savannah during the Civil War by Sherman and his troops, the Colonial Park Cemetery was used as a campground. The Union troops removed the headstones and those that were unable to be returned to their rightful place were placed along the wall.
Colonial Park Cemetery is Savannah's oldest public cemetery from 1750 to 1853. After which in 1896 it became a city park. The cemetery was expanded three times between 1750 and 1789 to its present six acre site in the heart of the Historic District. The cemetery has a rich history and is said to be haunted.
Had an opportunity to see Colonial Williamsburg right after a heavy rain. If you haven't been, I highly recommend making a visit.
The Rudolf W. van der Goot Rose Garden in Colonial Park of Franklin Township, NJ, is such an amazingly beautiful site, with so much meticulous thought and care that went in to the planning and design.
We learned about this garden that is nationally registered and known amongst flower aficionados, and visited it for the first time in August of 2014. The peak period for roses, in particular, was far gone, but a good number of late peaking ones and long lasting species which continued to display the glorious colors and shapes were present for us to appreciate what it might be during the peak season.
On this mid-June day, although the start of the peaking roses, two nights prior had been a severe thunderstorm, and as a result, the majority of the ones that should have been in full bloom were beaten to the ground . . . And for those hanging on by a thread had sustained too much damage to the point of no recovery.
Many new late bloomers were just beginning to show signs of early maturity in a few weeks, and a decent portion of the roses were still in the bud stages. So, those should look quite lovely down the line.
In any event, Colonial Park’s Rose Garden offered some other beautiful photo –ops, and we managed to capture a few beautiful scenes of the inner parts of a buttery, Grandfora Rose, a Prickly Pear Cactus, and a wonderful white Waterlily, along with a handsome Dragonfly by the fountain.
The park is not only about the nationally acclaimed rose park, but also known for its other countless flowers and insects, so it would be a great place for family with kids to enjoy.
Up the Colonies -- Down the British!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!
Our day to crow against our dear friends the Brits! So happy we have a "special relationship!"
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyeonghuigung:
Sungjeongjeon (崇政殿) is the main hall of the palace. It was built in 1616 but was moved to Dongguk University in 1926 and repurposed as a buddhist temple in Japanese colonial times, and moved back to original location and renovated between 1988 and 1994. It’s considered an example of mid-joseon period architecture. Sungjeongjeon is designated as Municipal Treasure 20.
Macau is always fun to visit. You get the feel of the old colonial times, as well as the bustling casino life. This shot is from the old part of the town facing the Grand Lisboa hotel.
A similar photo called "the Invasion" by Hong Kong based photographer Paul Tsui’s went viral last year.

AWB 082-3317 7922 is a creation by artist Sven Augustijnen (2021)
Exhibition "Congoville" in the Middelheim open-air museum in Antwerp, Belgium.
Sven Augustijnen (1970) was born in Mechelen, Belgium, and he lives and works in Brussels. Working primarily in film and installation, Augustijnen’s practice has long been exploring political, historical, and social themes, constantly challenging the genre of the documentary and reflecting a wider interest in historiography and a predilection for the nature of storytelling.
This work is a ‘political ghost shrine’ for Patrice Lumumba (1925-1961), the first Prime Minister of the independent Congo.
Lumumba was assassinated by a coalition of Belgian, American and Katangese authorities, but to this day has still not been given a grave. The bicycle had been Lumumba’s preferred means of transportation. The sacks of charcoal and the tree to which the bicycle is attached refer to the tree against which he was executed along with two political companions, and which was probably reduced to ashes to cover all traces. But also, the piece imitates the bike riders carrying homemade charcoal, so common on contemporary Congolese roads. Augustijnen’s assemblage is titled after the airway freight number assigned to the shipment of these objects from the village in which Lumumba was assassinated to Belgium. In the end, the package never arrived. That loss, on the way from Africa to Europe, plus the seriality and anonymity of the administrative code, echo the ‘cold case’ of this murder, and in a broader sense of the Belgian-Congolese post-colonial history.
