An enormous pile of house sized boulders near the western entrance to the Cochise Stronghold in the Dragoon Mountains is known as Council Rocks. It is thought that Cochise surrendered near these rocks in 1872 in exchange for a reservation for his people.
These rocks show evidence of being used as shelter for people for many hundreds of years. The pictographs seen here are thought to have been painted by the Mogollon people over a thousand years ago. There are also many metates in the rocks in the area which were used to grind corn, nuts and seeds. If you zoom in, you can see some of them at the base of this boulder.

27 When they had brought them, they had them stand before the Council. The high priest interrogated them, 28 saying, “We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this Man’s blood upon us.” 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

The Council Chamber in the Royal College of Physicians, St Andrew's Place, at the south-eastern end of Regent's Park. The main building opened in 1964 and was designed by architect Denys Lasdun. The Council Chamber is part of an extension which was added in 1995-6, also designed by Lasdun. The building is Grade I listed by Historic England.
CN 2379, 2999, and 5469 are working together to muscle a 98 car U704 up the grade through the rolling landscape of Northwestern Illinois on a clear and calm Saturday morning. The ethanol loads are rolling through the "western edge" of the relatively off-the-beaten-path spot of Council Hill Station, Illinois nestled in the valley of the East Fork of the Galena River. The 1850s-era Council Hill Station general store still exists just a little out of frame to the right of this spot, which also served as the depot for the small community of Council Hill located about 2 miles to the north on the top of the ridge but at an elevation that no doubt wasn't possible for the railroad to reach when it was first surveyed through the area.
The whole climb of the former Illinois Central through this part of Jo Daviess County is full of character in it's twists and turns, clinging to the edge of the river valley as it finds it's way from the Mississippi River level to the top of the hill that is not far from near the highest elevation in Illinois at Scales Mound. It's a character I've always found hard to capture well from a ground-level view, but the drone starts to open up some possibilities of at least sort of conveying the feel and the beauty of this area.

Legend tells of a temple that lies hidden deep within the jungle. Many have ventured to find it, seeking wisdom from the frog council, but few have ever returned.
Hi everyone! Here is a little frog build to brighten your day! I probably put almost as much work into the edit as I did actually building this, and I'm super happy with how it turned out!
Excerpt from historicwalkingtrail.com/location/texas-masonic-lodge/:
The Texas Lodge Masonic Hall is one of the oldest, most iconic buildings in San Juan Bautista, andthe second oldest masonic lodge in California that is still active in its original location. The Free and Accepted Masonsis the first fraternal organization in San Juan.
Edward Farris Storey migrated to California with 42 other Texan Masons in 1852, and was granted a charter in 1854 to found a Masonic Lodge in the area of San Juan. By the end of 1854, according to Lodge minutes, membership was 20. The Masons met in various places until the National Hotel (located where Verutti Park is now) was built in 1858, and a room was made available for their meetings. Membership had grown to 110 by 1867 when they decided to build their own building. A wooden sign above the Texas Lodge Masonic Hall entrance reads “Texas Lodge #46 F&AM Chartered May 6, 1854, Building Completed, June 24, 1869.”
The upper floor of the building has continued to be used as the meeting hall of the Masons, and the lower floor was originally rented to doctors and other professionals. The large main room downstairs has served in a variety of capacities over the years. It was used for the Wells Fargo Express Office, the Justice of the Peace Office, the meeting space for monthly City Council meetings around the turn of the 19th century; then the telephone company used the space from 1901-1924; the U.S. Post Office was then housed in the space, followed by the San Juan library until 1979. Most recently, the downstairs rooms have been rented to businesses .
This rectangular two and a half story building is constructed in the Italianate Victorian style with a wood-framed structural system on a concrete foundation. The façade is symmetrical and has a 3-step stairway leading to a central recessed entrance flanked by 4 symmetrically placed 8-pane vertical window doors with triangular pediment moldings above.
The second story has 5 vertical paired arched windows with elaborate molded pediments above. The overhanging boxed cornice features scroll corbels and decorated parapet. A recessed central gable pediment tops the cornice and denotes the main entrance, and the front door swings both inward and outward. A rectangular tower with a low overhanging hipped roof and tall arched windows rises from the junction of the central gable and the medium pitched, side-gabled roof made of corrugated metal. The sides feature symmetrically placed 6-pane sash windows with molded cornice and a broken pediment on the lower cornice of the roof gable. Other notable features are quoined wood corners imitating stone, the framed semi-circular air vents within the side pediments, and the horizontal redwood shiplap siding throughout. One-story medium-gabled roof additions extend from the rear; an iron fire escape on the east side and a wooden fire escape on the west were also added. The original board sidewalk along the full width of the building was replaced with a gravel walk, which was then transitioned to concrete steps. In 2017 the building underwent a much-needed, extensive renovation and exterior painting.
Freemasonry describes itself as a “beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.”Accordingly, buildings are to be constructed in an east/west orientation (sunrise and sunset), representing Solomon’s Temple. This building adorns gold enhancement of the starburst pattern framed within the side gables and the gold ball atop the cupola, depicts the sun at meridian height. Symbols and rituals abound in the upstairs meeting room: the compass and the square, which is the most widely known symbol of Masonry, the all-seeing eye, and the letter G, symbolizing both geometry and God. Masons use metaphors from geometry and the architecture of stonemasonry to represent their ongoing pursuit of knowledge, ethics, and leadership skills.
In most parts of the Highlands there is a very great demand for Council houses, but very few become available for relet each year. This means that, although there are thousands of households on our waiting lists (currently over 9,000) only a small number can be housed each year. There is a much greater demand for accommodation than we are able to meet and it will not be possible to house everyone who applies. Our first priority is to give houses to people in the most housing need - to families with children or to other people who may be vulnerable in some way, because of age or health, who are homeless or who live in insecure, overcrowded or substandard accommodation.
...Waiting (for a bus?) The sign in Irish, behind the man, is announcing a coming county council housing project...years behind schedule, most likely due to the pandemic.

This was my first attempt at brutalism architecture, I am satisfied with the result, but the next one will not be in minifig scale. I do not have that many LBG parts :). And I am missing symbolism in all of this.
The hill of Mars or Ares, better known by the name of Areopagus, of which hill of Mars or Ares is a translation. The Areopagus was a rocky height in Athens, opposite the western end of the Acropolis. It rises gradually from the northern end, and terminates abruptly on the south, over against the Acropolis, at which point it is about fifty or sixty feet above the valley. The spot is memorable as the place of meeting of the Council of Areopagus. This body existed as a criminal tribunal before the time of Solon, and was the most ancient and venerable of all the Athenian courts. It consisted of all persons who had held the office of archon, and who were members of the council for life unless expelled for misconduct. Before the time of Solon the court tried only cases of willful murder, wounding, poison, and arson: but he gave it extensive powers of a censorial and political nature. The council continued to exist even under the Roman emperors. Its meetings were held on the southeastern summit of the rock. The Areopagus possesses peculiar interest to the Christian as the spot from which St. Paul delivered his memorable address to the men of Athens.

I sure do love the Winter season...but one thing I noticed is how hungry I am we get home?? I guess walking around through 5-6 inches of snow is a pretty good workout for this gal!! LOL Have a nice week ahead everyone! :)
If I were to chose a city from Romania where I would love to live, Brasov would be the one.
It is located in the central part of the country and it is surrounded by the Southern Carpathians Mountains in Transylvania region, being the largest city in a mountain resorts area. There is a hill in the middle of the city (900m above sea level)
If you watch the Golden Stag international music festival that it's hosted every year by Brasov, you should see this building, as this is the exact place where the festival is being held.
