The Gulf of St. Lawrence and Northumberland Strait part ways at the northeast edge of Prince Edward Island, where a long, rocky reef that is the longest in North America stretches seaward for about 2.4 km (1.5 miles).
Heavy rain and wind were predicted for that night and the entire day after, we RV-camped out there near the cliff for two days - loved the sounds of pelting rain hitting our van and the roaring wind!
The first formal request for a lighthouse to highlight this nautical hazard on the North Cape was probably made in the following report, which was published in 1834.
On the N.W. point of Prince Edward Island, a light would be highly useful to vessels who are crossing the Gulf are forced down in the night by violent N.E. winds. The rapidly increasing trade of Miramichi and the many rising settlements in the Strait of Northumberland, would also well justify the erection of a Lighthouse there.

Vang stave church (Polish: Świątynia Wang; Norwegian: Vang stavkyrkje; German: Stabkirche Wang) is a stave church which was bought by the Prussian King and transferred from Vang in the Valdres region of Norway and re-erected in 1842 in Brückenberg near Krummhübel in Germany, now Karpacz in the Karkonosze mountains of Poland.
The church is a four-post single-nave stave church originally built around 1200 in the parish of Vang in the Valdres region of Norway.
Re-erection
The foundation stone was laid on August 2, 1842 in the presence of King Friedrich Wilhelm himself. It was a demanding task for carpenters who had never seen the church, nor any stave church, to rebuild it correctly. In spite of excellent drawings, most of the materials were discarded. Only the main construction, consisting of sills, posts and wall plates, were made use of, in addition to the carved doorframes. All of the external gallery was built with new materials, and every wall plank was replaced.
The long lost apse was reconstructed, albeit with a very strange baroque roof. The gallery and the flèche were reconstructed, but several new windows without historical precedent were put in. The doorways were turned inside out, with the carvings facing inward. The decorated ceiling above the choir was not restored, probably because it seemed too Catholic in a Protestant church. All the original roof trusses were renewed.
The work took two years and the total cost amounted to more than 75 000 marks. On the King's birthday, October 15, 1843, the flèche with the date 1200 was raised. On July 27, 1844 Prince Frederick of the Netherlands together with huge crowds witnessed the consecration of "Die Bergkirche unseres Erlösers zu Wang" (The mountain church of Our Savior of Vang). The former owner J. C. Dahl was not present, but he was happy to know that his project had been realised. He was spared the burden of preserving only certain decorated elements, and pleased that "a fair likeness" had been rebuilt.
Now serving a Polish community, Wang church has become a major tourist attraction and is probably the world's most visited stave church with about 200 000 visitors each year.

Only joking. At 62, I'm terrified of getting an erection in case it's my last!
My teenage daughter and some male friends 'sculpted' this 'Santa' this evening. I never realized that a prick is basically a bunch of varicose veins.They're going to finish the job tomorrow but, I told them that I'm not going to waste one of my extra large condoms.

Dinamarca - Copenhague - Palacio de Christiansborg (Salas Reales)
***
ENGLISH
www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/christiansborg-palace-...
Christiansborg Palace (Danish: Christiansborg Slot) is a palace and government building on the islet of Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen, Denmark. It is the seat of the Danish Parliament (Folketinget), the Danish Prime Minister's Office and the Supreme Court of Denmark. Also, several parts of the palace are used by the Danish monarch, including the Royal Reception Rooms, the Palace Chapel and the Royal Stables.
The palace is thus home to the three supreme powers: the executive power, the legislative power, and the judicial power. It is the only building in the world that houses all three of a country's branches of government. The name Christiansborg is thus also frequently used as a metonym for the Danish political system, and colloquially it is often referred to as Rigsborgen (English: castle of the realm) or simply Borgen (English: the castle).
The present building, the third with this name, is the last in a series of successive castles and palaces constructed on the same site since the erection of the first castle in 1167. Since the early fifteenth century, the various buildings have served as the base of the central administration; until 1794 as the principal residence of the Danish kings and after 1849 as the seat of parliament.
The palace today bears witness to three eras of Danish architecture, as the result of two serious fires. The first fire occurred in 1794 and the second in 1884. The main part of the current palace, finished in 1928, is in the historicist Neo-baroque style. The chapel dates to 1826 and is in a neoclassical style. The showgrounds were built 1738-46, in a baroque style.
Christiansborg Palace is owned by the Danish state, and is run by the Palaces and Properties Agency. Several parts of the palace are open to the public.

El palacio de Christiansborg está situado en el islote de Slotsholmen en Copenhague, Dinamarca, y es la sede del Folketing (Parlamento danés), la oficina del primer ministro danés y el Supremo Tribunal danés. Además, varias partes del palacio son utilizados por la monarquía, incluyendo las salas de recepción Real, la capilla del palacio y las caballerizas reales.
El palacio es la casa de los tres poderes supremos de Dinamarca: el poder ejecutivo, poder legislativo y el poder judicial. Es el único edificio del mundo que alberga las tres ramas de gobierno de un país. El palacio de Christiansborg es propiedad del estado danés y está dirigido por la Agencia de Palacios y Propiedades. Se le conoce coloquialmente como Borgen.
El edificio actual es el último de una serie de castillos y palacios construidos sucesivamente en el mismo sitio desde la construcción del primer castillo en 1167. Desde principios del siglo XV, los diferentes edificios han servido como la base de la administración central. Hasta 1794, como la residencia principal de los reyes daneses, y después de 1849, como la sede del Parlamento. El palacio de hoy es testigo de tres épocas de la arquitectura danesa, como resultado de dos incendios graves. El primer incendio se produjo en 1794 y el segundo en 1884. La parte principal del palacio actual, terminado en 1928, es de un estilo historicista neobarroco. La capilla, que data de 1826, es de estilo neoclásico. El recinto ferial se construyó de 1738 a 1746, en un estilo barroco.

The Federal Building in Clarksville has remained unchanged since its erection in 1897-98. It is of Victorian appearance, showing a mixture of architectural, styles including Queen Anne and the Stick Style. The building is unusually flamboyant in style for its size with its highly pitched roof with large eagles on the four corners, its steep gabled windows, and elaborate terra cotta ornamentation combining to give importance to a relatively small building. Additionally, there are a total of 20 dormers on the building, five on each side. The central gable dormer on each side has a curvilinear opening, and is flanked by hip roof dormers. All the dormers are surmounted by pinnacles, and there is a series of three stepped pinnacles on the angles of the roof line running up from each corner. Each corner is surmounted by an eagle on a pedestal. And an ornate tower is located on the apex of the roof.
As indicated above, a great attention to structural & decorative detail is evidenced in this small but unusual structure. Designed by U.S. Treasury Architect, William Martin Aiken, the building was constructed by Charles A. Moses of Chicago. His bid of $32,243 was the lowest of fourteen submitted. David A. Murphy, Superintendent of Construction of U.S. Public Buildings, supervised the construction. Ground was broken on September 1, 1897 and the building was completed the following year. Clarksville was able to obtain this building primarily because of the large volume of foreign mail occasioned by its tremendous tobacco business. The building was used as a post office until the 1930's. Since that time, it has served as offices of the Clarksville Electrical Department.
Due to the major significance of this Federal Building's unusual and distinctive architecture, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on June 13, 1972. All of the information above was gleaned from the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration and can be found here:

The abbey at Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire was founded on the banks of the Loire river mid 7th century. It is one of the oldest abbeys of the Benedictine rule in France.
The story starts in 672, when some of its monks traveled to Montecassino (Italy), dug up the remains of St. Benedict of Nursia (+ 547) and his sister St. Scholastica and brought them home. After the relics had reached at Fleury Abbey it which was renamed Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire - and due to the relics became a major place of pilgrimage.
A famous school and a scriptorium existed here in the late 10th century.
The erection of the church started around 1071. When the church was consecrated in 1108, the long nave was not completed.
The abbey thrived, but times got rougher. In 1562, the abbey was pillaged by Huguenots. The buildings were restored, but looted and destroyed again during the French Revolution. Saint-Benoît's monks left the abbey and so the history of the convent ended after more than 1100 years.
The abbey church had escaped destruction and got restored in the 19th century. In 1944, the convent was refounded the abbey buildings were rebuilt by Benedictine monks after World War II. So the history of the convent was just interrupted for about 150 years.
The massive porch tower is named "Tour de Gauzlin", named for Abbot Gaucelin who commissioned it. This tower, which rests on fifty columns, forms a unique porch. Here you will find extraordinary capitals.
After 10 summers of cruising the lake, I initially saw from a distance these unfamiliar shapes arising at the entrance to a small sheltered bay. Eager to investigate further, I arrived to find these cairns mysteriously stacked by some anonymous but clearly patient visitor. I was impressed and paddled as closely as possible to investigate, my initial thought being that they might be glued together and placed. Not so.
The middle structure being remarkable in that there was a secondary small stack also rising from the base stone. The far stone had only one small addition...purposeful or out of time?
Checking later, the cairn in the foreground had collapsed, returning to the shallow bottom filled with stones which had perhaps inspired the effort in the first place.
Its erection was decided by the Senate of Messina in 1571 to honor the victor of the Battle of Lepanto, from which many Messineses had benefited.
The Battle of Lepanto was a naval engagement that took place on 7 October 1571 when a fleet of the Holy League, a coalition of Catholic states arranged by Pope Pius V and led by the navies of the Republic of Venice and the Spanish Empire, inflicted a major defeat on the fleet of the Ottoman Empire in the Gulf of Patras. John of Austria, half-brother of Philip II of Spain, was named by Pope Pius V as overall commander of the fleet and led the centre division.

The KiMo Theatre is a theatre and historic landmark located in Albuquerque, New Mexico on the northeast corner of Central Avenue and Fifth Street. It was built in 1927 in the extravagant Art Deco-Pueblo Revival Style architecture, which is a blend of adobe building styles (rounded corners and edges), decorative motifs from indigenous cultures, and the soaring lines and linear repetition found in American Art Deco architecture.
The KiMo was conceived by Italian-American entrepreneur Oreste Bachechi (c. 1860–1928) and his wife, Maria Franceschi Bachechi (c. 1865–1959). It was Mrs. Bachechi's desire to give a tribute to the Native Americans who had embraced the Bachechi family as part of their own. After much travel and meetings with various architects in both NM and California, the design was accepted from Carl Boller of the Boller Brothers architecture firm, who conducted an extensive investigation into the cultures and building styles of the Southwest before submitting his design. The theater is a three-story stucco building with the stepped massing characteristic of native pueblo architecture, as well as the recessed spandrels and strong vertical thrust of Art Deco skyscrapers. Both the exterior and interior of the building incorporate a variety of indigenous motifs, like the row of terra cotta shields above the third-floor windows.
In June 1927, the Albuquerque Journal sponsored a competition to choose a name for the new theater, with a $50 prize for the winner. The rules stipulated that the name "must be in keeping with this truly American Theatre, whose architecture is a combination of Aztec, Navajo and Pueblo. It must be an Indian name. The name must not have more than six letters." Over 500 entries were received from around the state. Pablo Abeita, the former governor of Isleta Pueblo, was chosen as the winner for his suggestion of "Kimo", meaning "mountain lion" (sometimes loosely translated as "king of the beasts"). The second-place entry was "Eloma".
The theater opened on September 19, 1927, with a program including Native American dancers and singers, a performance on the newly installed $18,000 Wurlitzer theater organ, and the comedy film Painting the Town. Dignitaries at the event included Senator Sam G. Bratton, former governor Arthur T. Hannett, and Chairman of the City Commission Clyde Tingley, while Hollywood stars including Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks sent congratulatory telegrams. Cecil B. DeMille wrote, "The erection of such a theater is definite proof of the great progress being made by this industry of ours."
In 1935, the Bachechi family merged their theater interests with those of Joseph Barnett, including the Sunshine Theater, which put most of Albuquerque's theaters under the same ownership.[10] By 1952, the chain, Albuquerque Exhibitors, controlled 10 local theaters and had 170 employees. The company leased its theaters in 1956 to the Texas-based Frontier Theaters chain, which was taken over by Commonwealth Theaters in 1967. Commonwealth closed the theater in 1970, after which it was leased for a few years by Albuquerque Music Theater[15] and then started showing adult films.
By 1977, the theater had fallen into disrepair due to a fire. The City of Albuquerque offered to purchase the building at a fraction of its value or condemn it and then demolish it. The family decided that it was best to preserve the theater for future generations and sold the theater to the City of Albuquerque. It has undergone several phases of continuing restoration to return it to its former glory and is once again open to the public for performances. The most recent preservation was completed in 2000 with the installation of new seating and carpet, main stage curtain, new tech booth, lighting positions hid between and behind "vigas" on the ceiling, and a re-creation of the KiMo's original proscenium arch. The auditorium seating capacity was 650 at completion of the restoration.
In 2011, the city commissioned a replica of the theater's original neon sign, which was installed around 1929 and removed sometime in the 1950s.
According to local legend, the KiMo Theatre is haunted by the ghost of Bobby Darnall, a six-year-old boy killed in 1951 when a water heater in the theater's lobby exploded. The tale alleges that a theatrical performance of A Christmas Carol in 1974 was disrupted by the ghost, who was supposedly angry that the staff was ordered to remove donuts they had hung on backstage pipes to appease him.
While investigating the legend, writer Benjamin Radford determined that the performance of A Christmas Carol in question actually occurred in 1986, not 1974, and two people he spoke with who were involved in the production did not remember anything unusual. According to Radford, "All the evidence points to one inescapable conclusion: The ruined play—the very genesis of the KiMo ghost story—simply did not occur; it is but folklore and fiction". Radford also contacted Bobby Darnall's siblings, who told him they felt "exploited by the story" and did not appreciate "claims that their beloved brother is eating doughnuts or ruining performances at the KiMo Theater".

Okay, so this parking of “non-flight” CSM/SLA stacks - off to the side(s) - of the VAB transfer aisle, over the years, has always been somewhat confusing, to me at least, with regard to identification.
None more so than in this photograph.
I’m thinking M-11 is to the rear. If so, then what the hell is the nearer one? Further confounding matters is that - to me - the length of the foreground SM is truncated. It actually looks like the forward-most circumferential ring/panel(s) has/have been removed, thus also exposing a wider than ‘normal’ sized gap between CM & SM. What was that gap about anyhow???
Talking about SMs, they appeared to come totally sans, partially or fully equipped with RCS quads, evident here. Which configuration went with what CM??? Was there interchangeability? What determined the configuration?
