SS Atlantus is the most famous of the twelve concrete ships built by the Liberty Ship Building Company in Brunswick, Georgia during and after World War I.
The steamer was launched on 5 December 1918, and was the second concrete ship constructed in the World War I Emergency Fleet. The war had ended a month earlier, but the Atlantus was used to transport American troops back home from Europe and also to transport coal in New England.[1] After two years of service, the ship was retired in 1920 to a salvage yard in Virginia.[2]
In 1926, Colonel Jesse Rosenfeld purchased the Atlantus for use in the creation of a ferry dock (for a route now served by the Cape May – Lewes Ferry) out of her and two of her sister ships.[2] The plan was to dig a channel to the shore where the Atlantus would be placed, and the other two ships would be placed in a Y formation, creating a slip for a ferry to dock. In March 1926, the groundbreaking ceremonies were held for the construction of the ferry dock. The Atlantus was repaired and towed to Cape May. On June 8 of the same year, a storm hit and the ship broke free of her moorings and ran aground 150 feet off the coast of Sunset Beach.[1] Several attempts were made to free the ship, but none was successful.[3]
At one time there was a billboard painted on the side of the ship advertising boat insurance. At present she remains a Cape May tourist draw, but her condition is rapidly deteriorating.[4] The wreckage is currently split in three pieces. The stern is the most visible section, the middle is completely submerged, and the bow can only be viewed at low tide. Wikipedia

A freebuild for Guilds of Historica. It was interesting to build a castle still in progress, I will be finishing the castle, so you'll see the complete fortress eventually.
Sir Glorfindel helps with the construction of a new fortress located in the north of Mitgardia.

This is a continuation on my last birdcage concept. Unfortunately the last cage wasn't able to open on the bottom, so I had to wait until I got my hands on one that did.
Driving to this shoot, I was thinking of possible titles for this photo and my mind kept going over this idea of the cage and how many things it could represent. In a way, I think the cage can represent all of the constructs which exist in the world around us. We are born into these constructs, and because we can never fully separate from society or 'unknow' what we know, we can never fully divorce ourselves from them. It stands to reason that we will never fully understand how limited we truly are by these constraints. Beneath these constructs is our raw, authentic self. As artists, I think we are always striving to examine these 'cages', or to remove ourselves from them, however impossible that may be.
Constructed in 1911, the iconic, heritage-listed Kilcunda Bridge stretches 91 metres across Bourne Creek at Kilcunda. The 12-metre high wooden trestle bridge formed part of the Woolamai-Wonthaggi railway until 1978, and is now a feature of the Bass Coast Rail Trail.

The stone circle at Castlerigg (alt. Keswick Carles, Carles, Carsles or Castle-rig) is situated near Keswick in Cumbria, North West England. One of around 1,300 stone circles in the British Isles and Brittany, it was constructed as a part of a megalithic tradition that lasted from 3,300 to 900 BCE, during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages.
Various archaeologists have commented positively on the beauty and romance of the Castlerigg ring and its natural environment. In his study of the stone circles of Cumbria, archaeologist John Waterhouse commented that the site was "one of the most visually-impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain."
Every year, thousands of tourists travel to the site, making it the most visited stone circle in Cumbria.This plateau forms the raised centre of a natural amphitheatre created by the surrounding fells and from within the circle it is possible to see some of the highest peaks in Cumbria: Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Grasmoor and Blencathra.
Built in 1928 this movie theater in Flushing, Queens has been closed since 1986. In 2019 the theater was demolished to make way for a new condo tower. The new tower will incorporate some elements of the old theater.

L’escalier est une construction architecturale constituée d'une suite régulière de marches, les degrés, permettant d'accéder à un étage, de passer d'un niveau à un autre en montant et descendant. Le terme a pour origine étymologique « scala », l'« échelle » en latin. Le métier correspondant est celui d'escaliéteur. Par extension, l'escalier à donné son nom à un escalier, une voie pietonne faite en escalier.
Un escalier peut être en pierre, en bois, en métal, en béton, en verre ou en plâtre.
Sa structure est soit intégrée au mur qui le supporte, soit un assemblage indépendant du reste du gros œuvre et l'assemblage est un ouvrage autoporteur. L'escalier est d'une complexité de conception très variable : de la paillasse en béton, sorte de dalle rampante comportant les marches et posée en dénivelé, de l'empilement simple des marches en métal qui peuvent donner l'escalier en système à vis à noyau central, jusqu'à l'escalier tournant de pierre sur voûte sarrasine et l'escalier balancé de pierre taillée ou de bois avec jour central.
L’escalier peut être à montée droite ou circulaire ou mixte : droit ou à l'italienne, hélicoïdal ou à vis ou en colimaçon ou rayonnant, balancé, ou à la française ou à quartiers tournants.
Lorsqu'un escalier est utilisé comme voie d'évacuation extérieure d'un bâtiment la volée inférieure peut se relever horizontalement au niveau du premier étage afin de libérer de l'espace au pied de l'escalier. On parle alors de volée inférieure relevable. Ce système permet aussi d'empêcher l'accès aux personnes non autorisées.
Un escalier en colimaçon (du normand calimachon « escargot » c'est-à-dire mot à mot « limaçon à coquille ») ou de manière désuète en limaçon est un escalier de forme hélicoïdale. Il existe un escalier à double hélice (double colimaçon) au château de Chambord. Lorsque les marches sont distribuées non pas autour d'un espace central, mais se superposent pour former un axe central, on parle d'escalier à vis.

"Jersey City is the second-most populous city in the U.S. state of New Jersey, after Newark. It is the county seat of Hudson County and the county's largest city. The city's population as of the 2020 United States census was 292,449.
Constituting part of the New York metropolitan area, Jersey City is bounded on the east by the Hudson River and Upper New York Bay and on the west by the Hackensack River and Newark Bay. A port of entry, with 30.7 miles (49.4 km) of waterfront and extensive rail infrastructure and connectivity, the city is an important transportation terminus and distribution and manufacturing center for the Port of New York and New Jersey. Jersey City shares significant mass transit connections with Manhattan. Redevelopment of the Jersey City waterfront has made the city one of the largest centers of banking and finance in the United States and has led to the district and city being nicknamed Wall Street West. By the early 2020s, the construction of residential high-rises made median rental rates the highest of any city in the United States." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.
