nrhp # 90001611- Bahr Mill Complex is a historic grist mill complex located in Colebrookdale Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The complex includes the 2-story, plus basement, banked stone mill (1897); 2 2/2-story, stucco over stone farmhouse (c. 1820); 1-story, brick smokehouse (c. 1820); banked frame sawmill with a stone foundation (c. 1820); 2-story, stucco over stone store (c. 1820); two sheds (c. 1890); a shoemaker's shop (c. 1890); outhouse (c. 1920); stone bank barn (rebuilt c. 1880); and frame garage (c. 1930). Also on the property are a contributing chicken house (c. 1850) and pig sty (c. 1890). It is a family-run mill complex, run by the Gable family for over 175 years.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Antares and the Rho Ophiuchi (O-fee-you-key) Nebula. Antares is the bright yellow star just to the right of the center in the photo and lies at the heart of the scorpion in the constellation Scorpius. The yellow nebulosity surrounding Antares is reflected light from Antares forming a reflection nebula. Antares is a red supergiant star at about 470 light years distance. If it were at the center of our solar system it would extend out to the orbit of Mars. In Greek mythology, Antares means “Rival of Mars” which fits because of its yellow-red color. The stellar wind from Antares has created a complex circumstellar gas cloud of reflection nebulosity - the region that appears yellow. Sometime soon (in astronomical terms) Antares is likely to become a supernova. It is among the four brightest stars that lie within five degrees of the ecliptic - the plane formed by our solar system, and can be occulted by the Moon. It is rare that it is occulted by a planet but Venus will pass in front of Antares in the year 2400 (probably miss that one).
The blue region just above and left of center is a reflection nebula composed of interstellar dust scattering light from a bright blue star in the middle, Rho Ophiuchi. It is about 395 light years away from Earth. Rho Ophiuchi is actually a double star. Both stars are very hot (surface temperature of over 22,000 K) and each are nearly 10 times the mass of our Sun. The two smaller stars close by are also double or multiple star systems. The dark streamers extending to the lower left are dense, dust and molecular clouds extending over 100 light years. Astronomers think these clouds are the result of a huge explosion that occurred in the recent past (about 1 million years ago). The hydrogen in these clouds may eventually coalesce and form new stars.
The red regions are emission nebula formed from clouds of excited hydrogen gas. The bright stars in the center of the red regions pump out lots of UV light that puts the surrounding hydrogen in an excited and/or ionized stated. When the hydrogen atoms return their unexcited state they emit red light which we see as a giant red cloud.
There is a globular cluster Messier 4 just above and slightly to the right of Antares but is ten times further away. And by the way, yes, those specks all over the surrounding background are stars.
Image info: Taken at Starfront Observatories near Rockwood, Texas, an observatory that hosts amateur telescope equipment operated remotely over the internet. My telescope there is a Williams Optics Redcat 51 - a small 2 inch refractor with a 64 megapixel full frame cooled astro camera the ZWO ASI6200MM. I used Chroma filters to collect images in the RGB color bands during the early morning hours over 6 nights in late February. A total of 253 2 minute sub exposures were collected and processed in PixInsight and Photoshop to form this image. I am continually amazed that just a few pieces of relatively inexpensive equipment allows us to experience such beautiful creations in our Universe.

Les Invalides (French pronunciation: [lezɛ̃valid]), commonly known as Hôtel national des Invalides (The National Residence of the Invalids), or also as Hôtel des Invalides, is a complex of buildings in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France, containing museums and monuments, all relating to the military history of France, as well as a hospital and a retirement home for war veterans, the building's original purpose. The buildings house the Musée de l'Armée, the military museum of the Army of France, the Musée des Plans-Reliefs, and the Musée d'Histoire Contemporaine, as well as the Dôme des Invalides, a large church with the tombs of some of France's war heroes, most notably Napoleon Bonaparte.

On my way to the Eiffel Tower. Didn’t visit Les Invalides.
The Wawel Royal Castle and the Wawel Hill on which it sits constitute the most historically and culturally significant site in Poland. A fortified residency on the Vistula River in Kraków, it was established on the orders of King Casimir III the Great[2] and enlarged over the centuries into a number of structures around an Italian-styled courtyard. It represents nearly all European architectural styles of the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods.
Stone Chariot Wheels for the Gods in India at Bhoginandishwara Temple in Nandi Hills, Karnataka, India
Nandi Hills is a famous landmark for the urban populace of Bangalore. Everyone goes there, at least, once.
Not too far from the base of the hill is an old Hindu temple called Bhoginandishwara which is frequented by the locals and lots of devotees from Andhra Pradesh.
The pot holed road leads to a gateway to the temple complex. Stone wheels with decorative painted embellishments are placed on one side and that is a beautiful sight to see. Full mark for design sense.
It had just rained a few minutes before and the temple walkways were wet with water and thankfully not too many devotees were there bar a dog and a solitary person who stood with his hands behind him wondering whether the weather would be fine.
Today, I wonder whether "secularism is a disease" as postulated by the Hindu Right wing leader of RSS and shook my head in utter disbelief.

The Richardson Olmsted Complex in Buffalo, New York was designed by architect HH Richardson and landscape planner Frederick Olmsted in 1870. Originally the complex was built to be a hospital to treat mental illness. It was in use as Buffalo State Hospital until the 1970s. Today the 93-acre complex is being redeveloped with a mix of uses including a hotel.
The Richardson Olmsted Complex is a National Historic Landmark.
This complex of reflection nebulae lies some 6,000 light-years away, toward the high-flying northern constellation Cygnus and the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy.
Obscuring interstellar dust clouds appear in silhouette while reddish hydrogen emission nebulae, along with the dusty blue reflection nebulae, fill the cosmic canvas.
Ultraviolet radiation from the massive, hot, young stars of the extensive Cygnus OB2 association ionize the region's atomic hydrogen gas, producing the characteristic red glow.
Embedded Cygnus OB2 stars also provide the blue starlight strongly reflected by the dust clouds.

I figured while we are feeling 'industrial', it would be a good opportunity to post some images of this amazing complex, taken back in July.
Happy Truck Thursday!

Supreme Court Complex, Hobart, by Department of Public Works / Peter Partridge won the 25 Year Award for Enduring Architecture at the AIA's 2010 National Architecture Awards.
This building is an exemplary, enduring piece of public architecture that makes a poised contribution to the city of Hobart. The plaza between the two court buildings opens up a diagonal landscape link between St Davids Park above, the adjacent Parliament Square and the Sullivans Cove waterfront.
From Salamanca Place a slate base folds up like a piece of carved landscape and supports two sandstone-clad pavilions. This is a building that is indebted to classicism but carries the burden of a period of architecture much maligned for its material brutality. The use of materials here is super direct and the detailing studious. Inside, the complex is judicially innovative through the planning of four courts in the round. The interior carries the gravity of the building’s function but is human in its detail and scale.
The complex is in remarkably original order because of the skill with which it was designed. Here is a reminder that investment in public architecture has a lasting effect on the city.

Benozzo Gozzoli (Benozzo di Lese di Sandro (Scandicci, circa 1420 - Pistoia, October 4, 1497) - fake polyptych with the Madonna Enthroned among Saints - Chapel of Saint Jerome (1452) - frescoes - Museum complex of Saint Francis - Montefalco
La Cappella di San Girolamo è situata sulla parete destra, in prossimità dell’ingresso Gli affreschi di questa cappella furono gli ultimi eseguiti a Montefalco da Benozzo Gozzoli (1452). Il committente fu forse il notaio montefalchese Girolamo di Ser Giovanni Battista de Filippis.
Gran parte della decorazione pittorica con le storie della vita di san Girolamo, si è persa in seguito all’abbattimento del muro di sinistra e all’apertura dell’ingresso laterale della chiesa sul lato destro della cappella.
The Chapel of San Girolamo is located on the right-hand wall, near the entrance. The frescoes in this chapel were the last to be painted in Montefalco by Benozzo Gozzoli (1452). The client was perhaps the notary of Montefalco Girolamo di Ser Giovanni Battista de Filippis.
Great part of the pictorial decoration with the histories of the life of san Girolamo, has been lost following the demolition of the left wall and the opening of the lateral entry of the church on the right side of the chapel.
The complex was designed by the Italian star architect Aldo Rossi and built after the fall of the wall from 1994 to 1998.
Perugino (Pietro di Cristoforo Vannucci, known as the divine painter or as Pietro Perugino - about 1448 - February 1523) - Nativity, in the lunette the Eternal in glory between two angels and Annunciation (1503) - fresco - Museum Complex of San Francesco, Montefalco
L’affresco riveste interamente una grande edicola posta a sinistra dell’ingresso della chiesa dei Frati Minori Conventuali, nella parete interna di facciata. La storia principale segue fedelmente l’impianto compositivo della Natività dipinta da Pietro Perugino intorno al 1502 per una cappella del convento francescano di Monteripido di Perugia, a sua volta ripresa dalla Natività del Collegio del Cambio datata 1500. L’affresco di Montefalco è il più tardo della serie ed è stato collegato ad un soggiorno di Pietro Vannucci nella cittadina umbra documentato nel 1503
The fresco entirely covers a large aedicule placed to the left of the entrance of the church of the Friars Minor Conventual, in the internal wall of the facade. The principal story faithfully follows the compositional plant of the Nativity painted from Pietro Perugino around 1502 for a chapel of the Franciscan convent of Monteripido of Perugia, to its turn resumed from the Nativity of the College of the Change dated 1500. The fresco of Montefalco is the most late of the series and has been connected to a stay of Pietro Vannucci in the Umbrian town documented in 1503.
