This was another shot, where I have to hide myself from bird nest. She was keep coming and checking the spot for any invaders, finally I walked away when she was hovering above and came back after she left and hide behind trees and vegetation. I was merely 20 feet from the nest, thank god that I had zoom with me, otherwise it would be very difficult to keep the whole action in frame. Well, it was worth the effort!

Un des nombreux chantiers de construction au centre-ville de Montréal
One of the many construction site in downtown Montreal.
C'est un imposant bâtiment aux proportions dignes d'une cathédrale : 70 m de long pour 35 m de large. C'est un bel exemple du style gothique méridional. L'église a été construite en trois phases du XIVe au XVIe siècle. Ces phases sont visibles à l'extérieur, au niveau des décrochements successifs des toitures de la nef central.
Les matériaux choisis pour sa construction : brique et pierre apportent une polychromie plein de charme.
The Series Sixty-two was a model produced by Cadillac from 1940 through 1964 when it was renamed “Calais” for the 1965 model year. It was one of Cadillac’s most popular models. For the 1949 model year, the Series Sixty-two spawned the “Coupe deVille.”
For the 1953 model year the world was introduced to the very first Series Sixty-two Eldorado. The Series Sixty-two convertible was one of America’s most luxurious convertibles. Cadillac’s magnificent new design and craftsmanship were dramatically displayed in the 1957 Cadillac Series Sixty-two convertible.
Cadillac for the 1957 model year was completely redesigned. A Cadillac convertible was the celebrity among Cadillacs. There was no more gracious manner in which to enjoy open-air touring than the 1957 Series Sixty-two convertible. Its aristocratic flair was dramatic and pronounced.
Apart from the Biarritz convertible, the Series Sixty-two convertible was the most elegant convertible built in the land. It was the synthesis of two motoring worlds; it had all the panache of a ragtop and the comfort of a luxury car. Style code #6267F Series Sixty-two convertible had a base price of $5,225. (Cadillac repairs today run up tabs along these same dollar amounts…amazing)
The 1957 Cadillacs were all-new in design from the 1956 models. The 1957 cars presented a new sleekness in every line as witnessed by the Series Sixty-two convertible. They were built almost 3” lower in overall height.
The front end ensemble was boldly aggressive. It retained the “Dagmars.” The sweep of its new fender lines extended back to the redesign of the iconic Cadillac tail fins.
The convertible’s silhouette was highlighted by chrome-framed wheel openings and extended contour lines to both front and rear fenders. The fender skirts were dropped for a cleaner more contemporary look at the time.
All Cadillac bodies were built by the Fleetwood Division of Fisher Body under relentless quality control procedures. The Series Sixty-two convertible rode upon a long 129.5” wheelbase, had the luxury length of 220.9” and an 80” wide stance.
The Cadillac 6.0 litre 365 CID 16-valve V8 engine had five main bearings, intake silencer, and hydraulic lifters. It was constructed with cast iron, block and cylinder heads. The engine was equipped with a Rochester 4-bbl downdraft Quadrajet carburetor with equalized manifold, and automatic choke. It produced 300 hp @ 4,800 rpm with 542 Nm of peak torque @ 2,800 rpm. Performance was rated as 0-60 mph in 11.2 seconds, 0-100 mph in 33.1 seconds with a top speed of 119 mph. It could do the ¼ mile @ 81 mph in 18.1 seconds.
The Cadillac Series sixty-two convertible was a triumph of motoring distinction. Its unmatched comfort and spacious dignity was the finest expression of Cadillac’s dramatically new styling. In the way it looked and the way it drove, the 1957 Cadillac Series Sixty-two convertible introduced a brand new measure of excitement to modern luxury motoring…done in the manner only the “Standard of the World” could provide. This is another classic encore presentation…in the continuing saga of “As the Standard of the World Turns.”

" The time of war is almost over, now the time to rebuild is come. Well, to build for us, since we lost everything, including our old home. We live since a month now in an old fishing village, surrounded by cliffs and mountains. Yesterday, me and the council decided to call our little town Greyhaven. And that same day, our worked finished the construction of a defensive wall. Everyone has a house now. Greyhaven is ready to expend"

Construction 1834-1837
La halle-hôtel de ville, de plan carré, présente sur chaque face sept arcades en plein cintre avec au-dessus de chacune, à l’étage, une fenêtre également à plein cintre. À chaque pilier correspond un pilier à l’intérieur, relié par des arcs-diaphragmes, le tout supportant les salles de l’hôtel de ville à l’étage
Slip Cover 1838 was designed as a place where warships could be constructed under cover. No 3 Slip was one of Europe's largest wide span structures when it was built. In 1904 the slipway was filled in and this mezzanine floor erected to store ships boats. Today it is a very rare survivor of a type of building designed and built by naval architects and Royal Engineers around the world and is one of The Historic Dockyard's architectural gems.
Built in 1838, the immense covered slip was, when built, the largest wide span timber structure in Europe. No.3 Slip stands at the cusp of technological change, its amazing cantilever roof was built to the design of shipwright Sir Robert Seppings. It features a gracefully curved ‘apse’ at its landward end, designed to accommodate a ship’s bow. Although buildings of this kind were constructed around the world, 3 Slip is now a rare survival.
Today 3 Slip is home to a vast array of epic objects and vehicles from the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust, Royal Engineers Museum, Library and Archive and Imperial War Museum collections.
The Historic Dockyard Chatham is a maritime museum on part of the site of the former royal/naval dockyard at Chatham in Kent, South East England.
Chatham Dockyard covered 162 hectares and was one of the Royal Navy's main facilities for several hundred years until it was closed in 1984. After closure the dockyard was divided into three sections. The easternmost basin was handed over to Medway Ports and is now a commercial port, although the landowner plans to close it in 2025. Another slice was converted into a mixed commercial, residential and leisure development. 32 hectares, comprising the 18th-century core of the site, was transferred to a charity called the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust and is now open as a visitor attraction. It claims to be the world's most complete dockyard of the age of sail.

The first Point Arena Lighthouse was constructed in 1870.
In 1906 it was damaged in an earthquake.
It was reconstructed and resumed operation in 1908 and featured a 1st Order Fresnel Lens, seven feet in diameter and weighing 4,700 pounds. The lens is made up of 258 hand-ground glass prisms all focused toward three sets of double bulls eyes. It is these bulls eyes that gave the Point Arena Lighthouse its unique “light signature” of two flashes every six seconds. This incredible optic, that holds an appraised value of over $3.5 million
The Royse City Lodge #663 A.F. & A.M. (constructed circa 1925) is the most substantial and intact property in the central business district of Royse City. Designed by W.A. Kimzey, believed to be from Greenville, Texas, and constructed by J.E. Harris of Royse City, the Lodge is a handsome 2-story building that borrows architectural elements from the Mission Revival style. The property is one of the few architect designed buildings in the community and is recognized locally as a significant architectural element in the context of Royse City. The property initially served only fraternal activities of the local Masonic Lodge, but in 1936 officials of Royse City leased the first floor for the first city hall and fire & police station. Royse City purchased the first floor in 1941 and continues to use the building for those purposes.
The history of the Lodge and the City are intertwined since the very early days. At least three mayors, Newt Burton (1938-1944), Roy Cookston (1944-1950), and R.M. James (1954-1957) were members of the Lodge. Many of the towns Aldermen also have been Lodge members. The Lodge building also has a long and respected history in Royse City, Texas. Every citizen of Royse City has utilized the building for some purpose, either fraternal or political. Many of the other buildings were destroyed in a devastating fire in the 1930's and this building, in its dual role, has continued to serve the needs of every citizen of Royse City for a century. No other building has greater significance to the community or has been occupied by the original owners since its construction.
On October 28, 1994, the Royse City Masonic Lodge was recognized as eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under criterion C for its architecture and criterion A for its social history & continued use by residents for government & political purposes at a local level.

This is just a construct in blue. It shows a gap between upper and lower planes that are largely identical, or at least to the extent we can judge by sight, not different in any very interesting way.

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.
