Metro City (美罗城) on the left with its iconic glass ball facade and Taipingyang Digital Plaza (Phase II, 太平洋数码二期) are / were two iconic buildings in the Xujiahui shopping area.
And why "were" above?
Answer: The right building, Taipingyang Digital Plaza Phase II, has been demolished in 2016 and is gone now. Therefore this shot has some historical value 😇.
Also: this was taken from the grand staircase of the Grand Gateway Mall - in the meanwhile that staircase was also removed and is replaced by a massive lobby structure.
Several long exposures combined into one image, due to the time the shot was taken traffic was not that busy...

Udny Castle is a tower house in the parish of Udny, southwest of the village of Pitmedden and northeast of the hamlet of Udny Green, Aberdeenshire, in the northeast of Scotland. The area is generally flat but the castle is sited on the highest ground and can be seen for a considerable distance. Its exact construction date is unknown, but its foundations probably date from the late 14th or early 15th century. Additional storeys were added and a later extension, described as a "modern mansion", was incorporated but subsequently demolished. It is a Category A listed building.
Sited on the highest area in a generally flat terrain, the castle can be seen from a considerable distance. The exact construction date is not known but it was probably initially constructed by the Udny family in the 14th or 15th century. The property is first recorded when it is shown on a charter for David II instigated by Ronald of Uldney.
MacGibbon and Ross suggested a construction date of the turn of the 16–17th centuries, but the indentation of the upper floors and thickness of the foundation walls suggest a much earlier date. The main construction work of the keep is believed to have spanned over 100 years and been undertaken by three consecutive lairds; it is reported to have "ruined them all".
The Udny family also owned Knockhall Castle and lived there until 1734 when Knockhall was destroyed by fire; they then returned to Udny. Jamie Fleeman, the Laird's fool, was responsible for saving the family papers from being destroyed in the fire.
The castle was abandoned sometime around 1775 then repair work was undertaken in 1801.
Colonel John Robert Fullerton Udny inherited the estate in 1802. He had been an army officer since 1797 but retired after his marriage to Emily Fitzhugh in 1812. Thereafter he only visited the estate occasionally as his main residence was in London. The couple had one son, John Augustus Udny, but he died a bachelor in 1859. The Colonel's wife died in 1846 after which he had an affair with Ann Allat whom he married on 2 January 1854. However, the couple had a son, John Henry Udny, born out of wedlock on 9 May 1853. A legal case was heard by the House of Lords as to whether John Henry was entitled to inherit the estate as his parents had been unmarried when he was born. The legal arguments describe how the Colonel had wished to do restoration work on the castle but could not afford to do so "owing chiefly to his connection with the turf".
The Colonel died in 1861. The House of Lords had decided in favour of John Henry and he inherited the estate as "though illegitimate at his birth, [he] was legitimated by the subsequent marriage of his parents".
In 1887, it is recorded as owned by John Hay Udny and had been in the family's ownership for several centuries.
Bartizans were included when an extra storey was added in the 17th century.
A mansion house in the baronial style was added in 1874–75 to the design of architect James Maitland Wardrop (of the Wardrop and Anderson company) but was subsequently demolished during the 1960s. Wardrop's son, Hew, was also an architect and undertook some of the decorative work at the castle. He died suddenly of appendicitis while working at the castle on 4 November 1887.
In 1964, restoration work was begun on the original tower house and the mansion house was demolished. Historic Scotland listed the castle as a Category A listed building in April 1971.

Aldham, Essex – St Margaret and St Catherine
The church is situated in Aldham, Essex which is about 6.5 miles from Colchester, the nearest large town.
Built in 1855, it replaced an older Medieval church situated about a mile away that was demolished a year earlier.
Much of the building materials come from the older church, water basin (Piscina), Porch timbers, Doors and some of the Pews were built using the wood from the old pews. With the addition of a West Tower and Northwest Vestry, new materials (such as Bath Stone) were used in this construction.
The Architect was Edward Charles Hakewill, who was responsible for designing St John of Jerusalem in South Hackney and St James in Clapton both London churches as well as the restoration of a number of Suffolk churches.
The East window, dedicated to Philip Morant, who was a rector from 1745-1770, also Essex Historian and the Chancel North window were designed by Ward and Hughes.
It is possible that the dedication of St Margaret and St Catherine refers only to the bells and not to an earlier dedication, records do not show this fact.
There are in the graveyard, two Commonwealth War Graves plus two other gravestones of Soldiers that died in WWI.
This will be the final posting from this wonderful church.

Not sure if I'll have time to post anything now before I head up to Skye next weekend so thought I'd do one now and give my apologies if I'm not on here much until early April. I had originally booked to go to Skye in March 2020 and then again last year and boh foiled by Covid so really looking forward to this trip and trying not to have any expectations regarding the weather. I don't have a laptop to be able to process/post whilst I'm away and don't know what connection will be like or how much spare time I will have. So if I do not comment/post I'm not ignoring anyone honest!
Corfe Castle, Dorset - After a great foggy sunrise at Corfe www.flickr.com/photos/184798091@N07/51824404651/in/datepo... I had come down West Hill and was walking across the field towards the NT Car Park. As I did this the sun had just risen high enough to be clearing the ruins and hill and the warm patch of light on the grass caught my eye. A quick glance up showed me the light rays catching the ruins and missed so given my addiction to sun stars I quickly had to shuffle side ways compose, more shuffling and got this shot a set of 3 images 2 stops apart and combined on ON1 Photo RAW. One of those spur of the moment shots due to the conditions and a bit different from anything I've shot at Corfe before.
Corfe Castle is one of Britain's most iconic and evocative survivors of the English Civil War, partially demolished in 1646 by the Parliamentarians. www.nationaltrust.org.uk/corfe-castle

This view didn't exist the year before when I used to drive by here going downriver. Then they demolished something and this amazing ghost sign appeared. After about a year, it had faded very noticeably. A great example of capturing a slice of time, at the right time. The ghost sign was so bright, it looked like it was covered up soon after it went up. It was NOT a reproduction.
The Church of Edward the Confessor
Situated in the Market Place, Romford, RM1 3AB. The earliest known house of worship was built in 1177 and was known as St Andrew’s Chapel. This building was demolished in the 14th century after many years of neglect. A new church was erected towards the end of the 14th century and completed in 1410. This was dedicated to The Virgin Mary and Edward the Confessor. Originally built with a Nave, a Chancel and extended North Aisle. It also featured a brick tower for five bells. Later a gallery was built for a charity for orphaned children. In 1710 it was renamed St Edward’s School and was later moved to another part of Market Place in 1728.
The church building was still in use but again fell into disrepair then work on a new church on the same site was started in 1844 and in 1849 the last service was held in the old church, then it was demolished. Only Blore’s chapel remained and was used as a burial yard until 1953, when this was also demolished.
The new building was consecrated in 1850 by Bishop of Rochester, George Murray. He was resident of Danbury Palace, Danbury, Essex. Architect John Johnson designed the church (he also designed Alexandra Palace). The church was designed in ‘Gothic Style’ and built from Kentish ragstone, it also used materials from John Nash’s in Regent Street. There are many carved heads situated in the church and this is thought to be the explanation of their being there.
It did suffer some war damage, but only minor. The biggest loss was the bells were used in the war effort and in 1944 a set of chime bells and an electric clock were installed.
Since then, major renovation work was completed in1988 and again in 1992. A new organ was installed in 1979 and in 2001 a statue of Edward the confessor was installed in the main porch.
Legend
There is a legend that the name Havering, a district close by to Romford, was named after a connection to Edward the Confessor and St John the apostle in the form of a ring. This was commemorated in a stain glass window of 1407, in the old chapel. I believe that this window does not exist now but a more modern one was installed in 1850 the 600th anniversary of the church.

The motorway crossing Regensburg will be widened from 4 to 6 lanes during the next years. This is why several bridges have to be demolished. For that, the Autobahn gets blocked from Saturday night to Sunday noon. This image was made early on Sunday morning. Eight dredges have already destroyed the bridge.

One of the first inhabited points in the territory of Riga. There used to be a horse post station on this site, which was demolished due to the development of the railway. In place of the demolished buildings in 1889. greenery was installed and the place was named Albert Square after the first bishop of Riga.
BallinStadt – Hamburg/Veddel
Historical Center for Migration 1857–1918 and Memorial Park
From the 1850s to the early 1930s the ground's emigration halls were last homestead for some five million emigrants from various parts of Europe, waiting for their departure to the Americas. The BallinStadt museum was opened in 2007 and named after Albert Ballin (1857–1918), then director General of the Hamburg America Line. Originally built in 1901, the site's Swiss chalet style quarters provided shelter, lodging and/or entertainment for the emigrants. In 1934 the station was closed and demolished by the Nazis, but rebuilt true to original in the early 2000s. Today, the emigration halls accommodate an exhibition related to the emigrants, their living conditions and experiences during their journeys to and from Hamburg.
