around 50 years ago you would be seeing trains going past this spot,then the disastrous decision to destroy the infrastructure of the British railway system was put into Operation.
Even strong concrete structures are destroyed when wind and waves work together. But they can also make great photo motifs, on evenings like this.

After a fire destroyed the original lodge in the winter of 1962, the two original lifts were removed in the 1970s. The BC government funded a new lodge on the ridge and an aerial tramway to the mountaintop from the valley below.
In 1976, new ownership funded a second aerial tramway, built by Garaventa, known as the Red Tram or Super Skyride which is one on the right. The larger tram cars (for about 100 passengers) arrive at a separate top terminal building a short walk from the lodge. The older Blue Tram, on the left, is now mainly used to transport supplies directly to the lodge structure.
The beginnings of town hall in Głogów date back to the end of 13th century, i.e. the time when Konrad I Głogowski founded it town. As time passed, it was expanded and in 1349 it was already a two-wing and brick town hall. Later, it was rebuilt and destroyed by fires many times. In the years 1823–1835, the town hall lost its renaissance form, when two contrasting wings were created. The western one was in the Prussian classicism style and the eastern one in the then fashionable Florentine style.
During the fights for Głogów in 1945, the town hall was seriously damaged and burned down, just like the entire city of that time. In May 1984, it was rebuilt in the form it had in 1835, together with the tower.. The reconstruction took 18 years. Since 2002, the Town Hall serves to inhabitants again and is the seat of the city authorities.

Początki ratusza w Głogowie sięgają końca XIII wieku, czyli czasów gdy Konrada I Głogowski lokował miasto. W miarę upływu czasu był rozbudowany i w 1349 roku był był już ratuszem dwuskrzydłowym i murowanym. Później był wielokrotnie przebudowywany i niszczony pożarami. W latach 1823–1835 ratusz utracił swoją formę renesansową, powstały wtedy dwa kontrastujące ze sobą skrzydła. Zachodnie było w stylu klasycyzmu pruskiego a wschodnie w modnym wówczas stylu florenckim.
W czasie walk o Głogów w 1945 ratusz został poważnie zniszczony i wypalony, tak jak całe ówczesne miasto. Od maja 1984 roku przystąpiono do jego odbudowy w formie jaką posiadał w 1835 razem z wieżą. Odbudowa trwała przez 18 lat. Od 2002 roku ratusz ponownie służy mieszkańcom miasta i mieści się w nim Urząd Miejski.

Handley Page H.P. 42, Samakh, Tiberias, Palestine (1935)
G-AAUD, production number 42/3, was named after the Carthaginian explorer Hanno the Navigator, who explored the Atlantic coast of Africa in approx. 570 BC. Hanno first flew on 19 July 1931 and was later converted to a H.P.42(W) (Hannibal class). The aircraft was impressed into No. 271 Squadron RAF and was destroyed in a gale at Whitchurch Airport, Bristol when it was blown together with Heracles and damaged beyond repair on 19 March 1940. This aircraft was featured in the fifteen minute 1937 Strand Film Company documentary Air Outpost, landing at Al Mahatta in Sharjah, now in the United Arab Emirates.

The Goritsky Monastery of Dormition (Russian: Успенский Горицкий монастырь) was a Russian Orthodox monastery in Pereslavl-Zalessky, Russia.
It was supposedly established in the early 14th century during the reign of Ivan I of Moscow (Ivan Kalita). In 1382 Tokhtamysh Khan destroyed the town and the monastery with it. According to the legend, Grand Princess Eudoxia of Moscow arrived as a pilgrim the day before the attack and managed to escape the Horde on a raft, covered by fog of the Pleshcheyevo lake. In gratitude for the miraculous salvation, she rebuilt the monastery and established a tradition of Easter rides on rafts across the lake.
All the monastery's manuscripts were destroyed by a fire on June 12, 1722, which is why little is known about its history.
No original architecture was preserved. The oldest parts of the preserved ensemble date to the 17-18th centuries.
The monastery was closed in 1788. In 1919 the Pereslavl-Zalessky Historical Museum was established within its territory.

Italia, Toscana, Nozzano Castello, Estate 2021
Il Castello di Nozzano è un castello medievale che costituiva un avamposto del sistema difensivo lucchese. Una posizione di grande importanza strategica, a cavallo del conteso confine tra Lucca e Pisa. In origine la struttura era in legno e fu prima distrutta da Pisa due volte. Fu ricostruita per l'ultima volta nel 1395. L'attuale edificio risale a questa ricostruzione. Il castello fu utilizzato fino alla fine del 1500 per il controllo delle imbarcazioni lungo il fiume Serchio, poi la sua importanza strategica e militare decadde.
The Castle of Nozzano is a medieval castle that was an outpost of the Lucca defensive system. A position of great strategic importance, straddling the heatedly contested border between Lucca and Pisa. Originally, the structure was in wood and it was first destroyed by Pisa twice. It was rebuilt for the last time in 1395. The current building dates back to this reconstruction. The castle was used until the late 1500s to control the boats along the Serchio river, then its strategic and military importance declined.

Krzywiń is a small town in the province Greater Poland, with approximately 1,700 inhabitants. It was a private clergy town belonging to the Benedictine abbot in Lubin. The first preserved mention of Krzywiń as a town comes from 1272. In 1382, the city was destroyed during domestic fights, the reconstruction took place half a century later. In 1447, the location privilege was renewed. The center of the development was a Market Square with a town hall (the present one comes from 1905) in the south-eastern frontage. In the middle of the Market Square there is a statue of St. Wawrzyniec street and the frontages are built with houses from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The market was revitalized in 2014 and is a major tourist attraction.

Krzywiń jest małym miastem w woj. wielkopolskim, liczącym około 1700 mieszkańców. Było prywatnym miastem duchownym, należącym do opata benedyktynów w Lubiniu. Pierwsza zachowana wzmianka o Krzywiniu jako mieście pochodzi z 1272 roku. W 1382 roku miasto zostało zniszczone podczas walk domowych, odbudowa nastąpiła pół wieku później. W 1447 miało miejsce odnowienie przywileju lokacyjnego. Ośrodkiem zabudowy był czworoboczny rynek z ratuszem ( obecny pochodzi z 1905 roku) w pierzei południowo-wschodniej. Na środku Rynku znajduje się figura św. Wawrzyńca a pierzeje zabudowane są domami z przełomu XIX i XX wieku.
Rynek był rewitalizowany w roku 2014 i jest dużą atrakcją turystyczną.
In 1990, Archaeological Survey of India discovered a sunken apsidal stepped well along with few sculptures inside it. This stepped well is located immediately to the north of the Shore Temple, its south edge abutting the northern wall of the Shore Temple. On the extreme south of this newly discovered shrine is placed a monolith statue of Varaha (Boar)in its zoomorphic form. This image is carved in round from a single boulder. The statue was found severely damaged, however, with efforts from ASI restorers, we now see this image in its near original glory. The other element of this stepped well is a slender cylindrical shrine constructed partly in rock and partly in stone. Beyond this cylindrical shrine, further northward, is a circular cistern or mini-well. This is cut downwards with a circular rim-like stone placed at the ground level.
ASI report mentions that this well provides potable water though situated near the ocean. Though Rabe accepts these sockets for the capstones of a well, however, he suggests that these might be constructed to hold the ‘pillar of victory’ taken by Narasimhavarman I from Vatapi (Badami) which probably was installed here.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rabe2 tries to explain political reason behind the systematic destruction of this Varaha image. Rabe suggests that this Varaha monolith was severely and systematically butchered when the Chalukya king Vikramaditya I invaded the Pallava kingdom. The rationale behind this destruction was the submissive and prostrated attitude of the Varaha (Boar) Varaha was the dynastic crest of the Chalukyas. This specific posture of Varaha might be taken as a reference to the subjugation of the Chalukyas by the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I. And to take revenge, the Chalukyan army destroyed this Varaha image while marching forward into the Pallava kingdom.
Inscriptions On the Varaha (boar) monolith –
The Varaha sculpture is carved out of the mother rock like the three other animal sculptures in the Five Rathas nearby. It has four birudas (titles) of Rajasimha Pallava, some of his favorites, inscribed upon the base, in Sanskrit in the Pallava Grantha script. The birudas on the side are “Sri RajasimhaH” “Sri RanajayaH” and “Sri BharaH”. The biruda on the rear, under the varaha’s tail, is “Sri Citra KaarmukaH”. Between the legs of the boar on both the and under its tail, leaves of acquatic plants are sculpted. These are similar to those at the base of the Varaha and Gajalakshmi panels in the Varaha Mandapam. These indicate that the boar which represents Vishnu, is diving under water, not merely digging.
However, how to explain the engraved titles of Rajasimha, as the Chalukyan attacked the Pallava kingdom before the reign of Rajasimha. To explain it, Rabe tells that it was most possible that like other monoliths, this Varaha was also executed during the period of Narasimhavarman I(630–668 AD). Therefore, when the Chalukyas attacked the Pallavas, during the reign of Narasimhavarman I and Parameshvaravarman I, this monolith was present in the temple complex. As the Varaha was destroyed before the reign of Rajasimha (695 to 722 AD), it was Rajasimha who restored it and that’s how we find his titles engraved on it. (Above description source Internet).

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).
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.

شهر لار یکی از شهرهای باستانی استان فارس می باشد که متاسفانه در سال 1339 بر اثر زلزله آسیب فراوان دید. اما تعدادی از آثار با ارزش قدیمی این شهر پس از گذشت زلزله خوشبختانه سرپا ماندند که بعدها برخی از آنها بازسازی شدند
لازم به ذکر است که شهر لار بعد از زلزله به دو بخش جدید و قدیم تقسیم شدند که بخش قدیم با مهندسی روز و با شهرسازی مناسب به همراه خانه های مقاوم ساخته شدند ولی دلبستگی مرد و بخصوص کسبه به بازار باعث شد که قسمت قدیم نیز کم کم بازسازی شوند
دو اثر تاریخی دژ اژدها پیکر که یادگاری از دوران ساسانی است و آرامگاه منسوب به مادر نادر شاه که قدمت آن به دوره تیموری و یا اوایل صفویه بر میگردد از جاذبه های تاریخی شهر هستند
به دلیل اهمیت دژ این قلعه تا قرنها بعد از دوران ساسانی، نیز استفاده میشده و امروزه به دلیل زلزله ها و جنگهای مختلف و البته کم توجهی مسئولین میراث فرهنگی شرایط خوبی ندارد. در حالیکه اگر این دژ مرمت شود میتواند به یکی از جاذبه های مهم ایران تبدیل شود .
آرامگاه منسوب به مادر نادرشاه اگر چه مشخص نیست که آرامگاه چه کسی بوده ولی بر اساس باورهای محلی این آرامگاه متعلق به مادر نادرشاه بوده که به شکل عامیانه "ننه نادر شاه" گفته میشود
این آرامگاه بر روی یک سکوی سنگی (لاشه سنگ) ساخته شده و احتمالا در گذشته های دور یکی از چهارطاقی های شهر لار بر روی این سکو وجود داشته ولی بعد ها و با تخریب آن آتشکده این آرامگاه زیبا ساخته شده که از دو قسمت مقبره و نماز خانه ستوندار در زیر آن تشکیل شده است
From the opulence of Eliseevsky grocery store, Alla (our guide) took us to Arbat Street, a pedestrian street in the historic centre of Moscow. The Arbat has existed since the 15th century, making it one of the oldest surviving streets of the Russian capital. Originally the street formed part of an important trade-route and was home to craftsmen.
In the 18th century, the Russian nobility came to regard the Arbat as the most prestigious living area in Moscow. Almost completely destroyed in the great fire of 1812, the street was rebuilt In the 19th and early 20th centuries. In the Soviet period, it housed many high-ranking government officials.
Now it has been gentrified and is considered a desirable place to live. Because of the many historic buildings, and artists who live and work here, the Arbat has become a trendy part of the city.
We ended our visit at a restaurant where we had a meal of dishes from southern Russia. There was music and entertainment, and the most divine food, sweets and Turkish coffee.
This Grade II*-listed stone packhorse bridge over the River Welland at Deeping St James in south Lincolnshire dates from 1651. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Deeping St James is based around a now lost 12th-century Benedictine Priory, destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The stones from the priory were used to build various 17th-century buildings in the area. The village is one mile east of Market Deeping which is also on the River Welland. This rises near Sibbertoft in Northamptonshire. The Welland is one of the main rivers that helps to drain the Fens. It joins the sea near Fosdike in The Wash.
should read "start time, then destroy all the clocks" i just dont like punctuation when i write, i like when things can be read many different ways. here too, but this was the original intent.
Terrible holocaust in everywhere ! Destroying what ? The nature is our essence and we r part of this universe. But now we face up ourselves as the king in the big drama.She has nothing to do now just to cry ! but is she really crying? ! or still she is showing her mercy and her blessings still fall on us. And then one day the ultimate grandeur will surely show up her wrath upon us! !
A post office was established in 1890. A school was built in 1892 followed by the first resort hotel, taking advantage of the area's natural beauty. Following the Panic of 1893, hard times began in earnest but never affected Chelan completely. The first bank was established in 1893. Chelan was officially incorporated on May 7, 1902. In 1903, the city gained electric lights and water service via nearby Donaldson Springs. A permanent town hall was constructed in 1904 (but was destroyed by fire in 1927).
"Das Augsburger Finanz- und Hauptzollamt befindet sich am Prinzregentenplatz im Bahnhofsviertel. Nach der Zerstörung des Vorgängerbaus [...] bei den Luftangriffen auf Augsburg im Februar 1944 wurde das Finanz- und Hauptzollamt in den Jahren 1953 und 1954 [...] wieder errichtet. Es ist ein wichtiges Zeugnis der Nachkriegsarchitektur in Augsburg." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finanz-_und_Hauptzollamt_(Augsburg)
These buildings of the Augsburg revenue and customs authorities erected in the years 1953-54 are a beautiful example of the city's post-war architecture. The predecessor buildings had been destroyed during the bombing raid of 25/26 February 1944.
