Notre-Dame de Paris; meaning "Our Lady of Paris", referred to simply as Notre-Dame, is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité (an island in the Seine River), in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France. The cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. Several attributes set it apart from the earlier Romanesque style, particularly its pioneering use of the rib vault and flying buttress, its enormous and colorful rose windows, and the naturalism and abundance of its sculptural decoration. Notre-Dame also stands out for its three pipe organs (one historic) and its immense church bells.
Built during medieval France, construction of the cathedral began in 1163 under Bishop Maurice de Sully and was largely completed by 1260, though it was modified in succeeding centuries. In the 1790s, during the French Revolution, Notre-Dame suffered extensive desecration; much of its religious imagery was damaged or destroyed. In the 19th century, the coronation of Napoleon and the funerals of many of the French Republic's presidents took place at the cathedral. The 1831 publication of Victor Hugo's novel Notre-Dame de Paris (in English: The Hunchback of Notre-Dame) inspired interest which led to restoration between 1844 and 1864, supervised by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. On 26 August 1944, the Liberation of Paris from German occupation was celebrated in Notre-Dame with the singing of the Magnificat. Beginning in 1963, the cathedral's façade was cleaned of soot and grime. Another cleaning and restoration project was carried out between 1991 and 2000.
On 15 April 2019, while Notre-Dame was undergoing renovation and restoration, its roof caught fire and burned for 15 hours. The cathedral sustained serious damage. The flèche (the timber spirelet over the crossing) was destroyed, as was most of the lead-covered wooden roof above the stone vaulted ceiling. This contaminated the site and nearby environment with lead. Restoration proposals suggested modernizing the cathedral, but the French National Assembly rejected them, enacting a law in July 2019 that required the restoration preserve the cathedral's "historic, artistic and architectural interest". The task of stabilizing the building against potential collapse was completed in November 2020. The cathedral is expected to reopen on 8 December 2024; the date was confirmed by President Macron.

For quite a few years, Chicago's greater west side (West Loop & Fulton Market, in particular) have seemed like a constant construction site. I don't have any cityscape shots from there that are construction-free.

Sneaking into a construction site in the dead of night was well worth it...

I'm glad I have this photograph. This was a restaurant called Nico's which opened and ran for just a short time , it had such great ambience. This was taken during the time of construction. I love all the fingerprints on the glass , it gives such a diffused look to the image.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Roman wall of Zaragoza is a defensive wall built in the Colonia Caesar Augusta, in the Hispania Citerior Tarraconensis province belonging to the Roman Empire, currently called Zaragoza, being the capital of the autonomous community of Aragon, ( Spain ).
Built under the command of Tiberius in the 1st century and reformed until the 3rd century, the Roman wall of Zaragoza came to have a length of about 3,000 meters and about 120 defensive towers. Two sections have been preserved: the longest, about 80 meters long, at the northwest corner of what was the Roman city of Caesaraugusta, next to the Torreón de La Zuda, and another on the northeast side, which is currently part of the Convent of the Holy Sepulcher.
Its layout, studied by Francisco Íñiguez Almech, must have been regular, with a height of about ten meters and four in width. At intervals of fourteen to sixteen meters were ultra-semicircular towers, with a diameter of between 8 and 13 meters. The wall of the Roman foundation enclosed and conditioned the urban layout for many centuries, as they were reused by Visigoths and Muslims.
The 2008 edition of the Zaragoza Historical Artistic Guide directed by Guillermo Fatás, points out that recent research indicates that the preserved wall was built in the second half of the 3rd century AD. C. and executed with a uniform construction technique: an interior body of Roman concrete covered with ashlars on the outside, 7 m thick except for the eastern section, which would be built in ashlar rigging and would be 6 m thick.
Walking local woodland recently I came across this construction on a small hilltop, probably made by trail bike riders which use the area.
The future of construction vehicles is here ! This multipurpose mech can work on all terrains thanks to its six legs, and can be twice as efficient as your usual machine with its two independent and fully articulated arms ! Attach the tool of your choosing, and you're ready to work ! You can grab, drill, cut, or dig, with a single machine ! And if you need help on the construction site, the remote controlled crab drone is here !
• With the claws on, the mech measures 39.4 x 33.3 x 18.5 studs / 12.4 x 10.5 x 5.8in / 31.5 x 26.6 x 14.8cm (L x W x H)
• The steel beam measures 36 studs / 11.3in / 28.8cm long and can be split in three sections.
• The drone crab measures 9.7 x 9.1 x 5 studs / 3 x 2.9 x 1.6in / 7.7 x 7.3 x 4cm (L x W x H)
• The model comes with three minifigs : a pilot, a copilot, and a drone operator.
• The mech can use five functional tools : two claws, a bucket, a drill, and a circular saw blade.
• Open the windscreen to access the cockpit, with seats and coffee for the pilot and the copilot.
• The front and back legs can move back and forth, and the arms are fully articulated.
