Le château d'Olhain est une forteresse des xiiie et xve siècles2. Elle se situe à Fresnicourt-le-Dolmen, dans le Pas-de-Calais, sur la Lawe.
Le château est composé d'un corps de ferme, et de la forteresse elle-même, surmontée de son ancienne tour. Des douves en partie en eau et en partie comblées sont enjambées par deux ponts, un pour l'accès à la basse-cour et un pont qui relie le château à la basse-cour. La visite comporte aussi la chapelle du xixe siècle, le four à pain, la promenade le long des douves, la tour de guet de plus de trente mètres de haut, ainsi que la salle des Gardes.
The Château d'Olhain is a 15th-century castle located in Olhain, Fresnicourt-le-Dolmen, Pas-de-Calais, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France.
The castle is located in the middle of a lake which reflects its towers and curtain walls. It was also a major stronghold for the Artois in medieval times and testimony to the power of the Olhain family, first mentioned from the 12th century.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a town in the district of Ansbach of Mittelfranken (Middle Franconia), the Franconia region of Bavaria, Germany.
It is well known for its well-preserved medieval old town, a destination for tourists from around the world. It is part of the popular Romantic Road through southern Germany. Today it is one of only three towns in Germany that still have completely intact city walls, the other two being Nördlingen and Dinkelsbühl.
The impressive fortification was built at the end of the 16th century in the form of a figure of eight. The bastion has two flanks, seven gates, a portcullis, a drawbridge and a parapet suitable for cannons.
Rothenburg was a Free imperial city from the late Middle Ages to 1803. In 1884 Johann Friedrich (von) Hessing (1838–1918) built Wildbad Rothenburg o.d.T. 1884–1903.
Rothenburg has appeared in several films, notably fantasies. It was the inspiration for the village in the 1940 Walt Disney movie Pinocchio.
It was the location for the Vulgarian village scenes in the 1968 family movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
It is sometimes mistaken as the town at the end of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971); that town was Nördlingen.
The town served as a loose basis for the fictional town of Lebensbaum ("life tree") in the video game Shadow of Memories (Shadow of Destiny in the American market).
Pictures of the town were used in some parts of "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" and the trailer for the film. The camera flies over the town from the direction of the valley towards the Town Hall.
A plaque exists on the rebuilt town wall to commemorate this. Filming was done in Rothenburg for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010) and Part 2 (2011).

It's fun to watch a "draw bridge" in operation (unless you are in a hurry, and stuck in the auto traffic waiting for the bridge to re-open).
The Charlevoix Bridge, a 1948 bascule bridge, replaced an earlier bridge over the Pine River in downtown Charlevoix, Michigan. The Pine River Canal, dredged in 1870, connected Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix. Boat traffic using the canal first enters Round Lake, a popular Charlevoix harbor, before entering Lake Charlevoix.
The large boat in the picture is the "Beaver Islander", a ferry boat to Beaver Island. The smaller boat, "Heather B" is a towing vessel.

Dit is de Voetangelbrug, een ophaalbrug gelegen in de gemeente Ouder-Amstel over de Waver en is gelegen bij de driesprong van de riviertjes de Holendrecht, Bullewijk en Waver. Fijn dag, happy lazy Sunday :-)
The drawbridge in Blokzijl connects the area south of the Noorderdiep (part of the village centre, some (mini) campsites and the outside area), with the part of the village center and the N333 further north of the Noorderdiep. The N333 provides regional access to Blokzijl. The lock connects “de Havenkolk” with “het Noorderdiep” and thus forms an important link in recreational shipping. (www.ipcon.nl) Blokzijl, Netherlands.
This was cropped quite a bit in order for the drawbridge framing the mast to show up!
Happy Slider Sunday

Drawbridge Ice Cream, a popular tourist spot!
Historically, Mystic was a significant Connecticut seaport with more than 600 ships built over 135 years starting in 1784. The story of Mystic's nautical connection is told at Mystic Seaport, among the nation's largest maritime museums which has preserved a number of sailing ships, most notably the whaling ship Charles W. Morgan. The village is located on the Mystic River, which flows into Fishers Island Sound and by extension Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. The Mystic River Bascule Bridge crosses the river in the center of the village. The name "Mystic" is derived from the Pequot term "missi-tuk" describing a large river whose waters are driven into waves by tides or wind, according to a history cited by The Mystic River Historical Society.

LE CHÂTEAU DE ROCHEBRUNE
♦ Datant des premières croisades, ROCHEBRUNE était une ancienne place fortifiée stratégiquement située au carrefour des routes de Limoges, Angoulême et Niort.
♦ La première tour fut édifiée par Jourdain Ier avant que celui-ci ne parte pour Jérusalem et n’y meure en 1099.
♦ Les trois autres tours n’apparurent qu’un siècle plus tard.
Les murs de chacune d’elles, épais de deux mètres, sont percés de meurtrières dont les angles de vue cumulés ne laissent aucun angle mort aux défenseurs du lieu.
♦ Les descendants de Jourdain Ier augmentèrent peu à peu l’édifice pour lui donner son volume actuel.
Début construction : XIème siècle.
Propriétaire actuel : Henri de RICHEMONT
INSCRIPTION MONUMENT HISTORIQUE DEPUIS 1959.
