In the Bible it say the Lord will not destroy the world by water again, but by fire. And so it begins.

When the last leave falls,
When the last drop of water dries out,
When the ozone layer is already destroyed,
Will it be too late to understand that money is not going to save us?

Even strong concrete structures are destroyed when wind and waves work together. But they can also make great photo motifs, on evenings like this.

The Kinzua Bridge or the Kinzua Viaduct (pron.: /ˈkɪnzuː/[4] or /ˈkɪnzuː.ə/) was a railroad trestle that spanned Kinzua Creek in McKean County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The bridge was 301 feet (92 m) tall and 2,052 feet (625 m) long prior to its collapse in 2003.
The bridge was originally built from iron in 1882 and was billed as the "Eighth Wonder of the World", holding the record as the tallest railroad bridge in the world for two years. In 1900 the bridge was dismantled and simultaneously rebuilt out of steel to allow it to accommodate heavier trains
To love you is to lose, all sense of self,
Giving and losing any abundance of wealth,
It is losing the pieces that once made you whole,
It is giving all the diamonds, left only with Coal,
It is walking and running and dragging myself through,
It is struggling and failing when I once flew,
It is knowing I am wonderful, knowing I am kind,
Knowing things are around you, always to remind,
It is my smile knowing never, ever again,
Will you find a heart more true, never feel this pain,
It is flecks of a memory, the tune of a song,
The excitement of those nights not replicable or as strong,
I know you are damaged, beyond anything you you ever feared,
Own that damage and be strong, for strength is endeared

A hole left in the heart of White Rock
The beloved, 114 yr old landmark pier in White Rock, BC Canada was severely damaged by a windstorm that ripped through Metro Vancouver, BC Canada on December 20th, 2018
The White Rock Pier is a historic landmark dating back to the 1920's and one of White Rock's finest tourist attractions boasting over 1,540 feet of boardwalk.
In this scene, you will notice some of the remains of many destroyed sailboats.
During the storm the boats were ripped away from an attached dock, at the end of the pier, and were aggressively tossed around, beaten and smashed to pieces, by the high force winds and rough waves.
I appreciate your kind words of support and would like to thank-you all, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography

Le palais du Prince-électeur de la ville de Trèves a été la résidence des électeurs de Trèves, c'est-à-dire des archevêques de Trèves, depuis le XVIIe siècle jusqu'en 1794. Les bâtiments renaissance et rococo ont été en partie construits sur le site de la basilique romaine de l'empereur Constantin. Au cours du XIXe siècle, l'aile ouest du palais a été détruite afin de restaurer la basilique dans son état initial.
Après l'éviction des électeurs sous Napoléon, le palais a été utilisé comme caserne par les troupes françaises et prussiennes au XIXe siècle jusqu'au début du XXe siècle. Le bâtiment a été gravement endommagé pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale . Ensuite, les bâtiments d'activité économique, appelé château inférieur, a été complètement démoli, à l'exception de la tour rouge et d'un portail. Aujourd'hui, le bâtiment abrite plusieurs administrations. Une partie de l'aile nord est utilisée par la communauté protestante (salle Caspar Olevian) tandis qu'une partie de l'aile sud est utilisée à des fins représentatives (salles de réception ou de spectacles).
The Palace of the Prince-Elector of the City of Trier was the residence of the Electors of Trier, i.e. the Archbishops of Trier, from the 17th century until 1794. The Renaissance and Rococo buildings were partly built on the site of the Roman basilica of Emperor Constantine. During the 19th century, the west wing of the palace was destroyed in order to restore the basilica to its original state.
After the Electors were ousted under Napoleon, the palace was used as barracks by French and Prussian troops in the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century. The building was badly damaged during World War II. Then the buildings of economic activity, called lower castle, were completely demolished, except for the red tower and a portal. Today, the building houses several administrations. Part of the north wing is used by the Protestant community (Caspar Olevian room) while part of the south wing is used for representative purposes (reception rooms or performance halls).

There are many impressive Roman bridges around Italy: one of the most interesting is the Ponte Gobbo (Hunchback Bridge), also called Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) or Ponte del Diavolo (Devil's bridge), in Bobbio, Emilia-Romagna. Almost 900 feet long and with 11 irregular arches, this wonder of ancient architecture has been around for at least 1000 years – although no one knows exactly when it was built.
An old legend tells that a clever man tricked the Devil into rebuilding the bridge overnight after it had been destroyed by a flood - which would explain the bridge's curious name.
San Francisco Square in the Historic Center of Quito.
From left to right, in the San Francisco building, you can see the doors of the Chapel of Cantuña, the Chapel of Villacísla, the main church, the convent and the museum.
***
The Church and its chapels (La Iglesia de San Francisco), which were considered sacred places.
Together, Church and Convent encompass three hectares including 13 cloisters (six of them major), three churches, and a large courtyard. In total, about 40,000 square meters of construction. San Francisco follows the classical typology of medieval monasteries. The main Church is the guiding axis and from there the cloister galleries extend: the refectory, the chapterhouse, and winery. These define a quadrangular courtyard, with the four respective pandas, or galleries: that of the chapter room, the refectory, the converts, and the mandatum. In addition to the basic dependencies of a convent, there were areas devoted to health care, education, crafts, a garden, and even a jail (to maintain strict discipline). The kitchen and dispensery operated in the cloister of services.

Walking from the Old Town’s narrow colonial streets into this open plaza reveals one of the finest sights in all of Ecuador: a sweeping cobblestone plaza backed by the mountainous backdrop of Volcán Pichincha, and the long, whitewashed walls and twin bell towers of Ecuador’s oldest church.

The Public Square (Plaza de San Francisco) was a purely urban space, demarcated and connected to various public activities (teaching, market, water supply).

Sad part of our History.
In pre-Hispanic Quito, the current lands of the Church and Convent of San Francisco were occupied by the royal palace of the Inca Huayna Cápac, before the advance of the armies commanded by the Spaniards from the south and the impossibility of defending the city the indigenous general Rumiñahui arranged the total destruction of it. In the city fire the palace was destroyed and buried under a huge amount of rubble and garbage. One of Rumiñahui's soldiers was the great-grandfather of the indigenous Cantuña, who as an eyewitness to the events had full knowledge of what was buried in the place. The construction of the church and convent of San Francisco began around 1537, just three years after the Spanish foundation of the city, with the completion of a provisional temple that was maintained until 1550, when construction of the current building began and which was completed around 1680. Although the building was officially inaugurated in 1705.

Together, we have the power to restore our Earth. If we keep going carelessly about the forest, water, and environment, we will end up destroying the delicate balance of the World. Is not too much the Earth is asking, let us start with the little things.

Juntos, tenemos el poder de restaurar nuestra Tierra. Si continuamos descuidadamente sin proteger la naturaleza, el agua y el ambiente; terminaremos destruyendo el delicado balance del planeta. No es mucho lo que la tierra nos pide, comenzemos con los pequeños detalles).

The story of the Tielt stairway tower goes back a long way. For many years, the hill to the west of the Vlooiberg was adorned by a wooden lookout tower about four meters in height. Aside from the all the youth of Tielt, unfortunately this tower also attracted vandals who irreparably damaged it by setting it on fire. The pride of Tielt-Winge had to be closed to the public for the sake of safety. Heated debates followed, and the municipality finally decided to replace the small wooden tower with a new, monumental object that would be able to withstand the ravages of time. Unfortunately again, vandals set built a fire underneath the structure, once again destroying it. But, no worries, it has been restored in all its glory.
Tielt-Winge, Belgium
On the evening of march 26 and 28, the russian occupation army once again attacked the Dnipro with "shahed" kamikaze drones... These were some of the most massive shellings that the Dnipro has seen in three years of war. The "Bartolomeo" hotel and restaurant complex was destroyed - a place where life was seething and laughter was heard, now turned into ruins. Residential buildings were destroyed, dozens of other civilian infrastructure facilities were damaged, a school was damaged, cars burned, windows were knocked out... In the middle of the courtyards where children usually ran, craters formed, glass and drone debris fell. Unfortunately, there were casualties - as a result of the aggressor's shelling, four people were killed, 25 people were injured that terrible evening...
