Norwich Cathedral is an English cathedral located in Norwich, Norfolk, dedicated to the Holy and Undivided Trinity. It is the cathedral church for the Church of England Diocese of Norwich and is one of the Norwich 12 heritage sites.

The cathedral was begun in 1096 and constructed out of flint and mortar and faced with a cream-coloured Caen limestone. An Anglo-Saxon settlement and two churches were demolished to make room for the buildings. The cathedral was completed in 1145 with the Norman tower still seen today topped with a wooden spire covered with lead. Several episodes of damage necessitated rebuilding of the east end and spire but since the final erection of the stone spire in 1480 there have been few fundamental alterations to the fabric.

The construction, in 1765, of the École Militaire designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel, was the first step toward the Champ de Mars in its present form. Grounds for military drills were originally planned for an area south of the school, the current location of the place de Fontenoy. The choice to build an esplanade to the north of the school led to the erection of the noble facade which today encloses the Champ de Mars.

Chateau de la Batie is an ancient castle of the thirteenth century, the ruins stand in the town of Vienne in the Rhone-Alpes region. The castle is the subject of a registration as a historic monument by decree of 10 December 1926.

According to tradition, the Romans had fortified Mount Solomon, and the remains of the Roman fort were reused during the Middle Ages . But it was Archbishop John of Bernini is considered the manufacturer of Built, 1225. The castle Built served as residence for archbishops of Vienna until the mid-fourteenth century, when peace returned, they gradually spurned this residence and neglected maintenance as fortress fell to the simple rank Royal prison.

Renovated in part in 1450 by the Dauphin Louis, it was Francis who, to meet Charles V gave back the ramparts of the city and the Built shouldered by the erection of the "bastion" Saint-Anne in 1538.

Very damaged during the religious wars the castle was put out of use at the same time as that of Pipet, in execution of a judgment of the Council of State 26 January 1633 concerning the demolition of forts. Source: Frenchchateau.net 2023-10-12

Cenotaph on Huron Street

The first Cenotaph plans began in 1918 when interested citizens met at the library hall to discuss the erection of a monument in honour of New Hamburg’s fallen heroes. Two cenotaphs were built between 1922 and 1929. Six decades later in 1989, a new granite cenotaph was built in the Classical Revival style. It honours those that died while serving during WWI, WWII, and the Korean War.

Please, do not turn the screen upside down to avoid an erection. It's just a tree.

Rua Reidh Lighthouse stands close to the entrance to Loch Ewe in Wester Ross, Scotland.

The building of a navigation light on Rubh'Re Point was first proposed by David Stevenson in 1853 but, with familiar emphasis on economy, the Board of Trade refused to approve the proposed expenditure of £5,000.

In August 1906, David Alan Stevenson recommended that a navigation light be established on the prominent headland of the Ross-shire coast 17 miles north of the Rona light and 26 miles south of the Stoer Head light. He considered the lighting of this very remote site important, and so suggested a powerful light and a fully manned "Island Station".

Accordingly, the Commissioners made representation to Trinity House but they refused to accord their statutory approval to the proposed seamark but did, however, suggest a small, inexpensive unmanned light be established in the same position.

The Commissioners considered that the site was too important to leave unattended and felt bound to adhere to their original proposal.

After lengthy correspondence, Trinity House conceded to the Commissioners views, and gave statutory approval to the erection of a manned light. The Board of Trade however, decided to defer commencement of work meantime, as they considered the financial outlay excessive.

Finally, in May 1908, the Board of Trade sanctioned the expenditure of £14,900 on the establishment of a light and fog signal on Rubh'Re point and the light was first exhibited on the night of 15 January 1912. It is situated at the entrance to Loch Ewe near Gairloch.

In 1944, an American Liberty Ship the "William H Welch" missed the entrance to Loch Ewe and went ashore at Black Bay during a severe storm. Two Rubh'Re Lightkeepers were actively involved in the rescue of 15 survivors out of a complement of 74.

The fog signal service was installed in 1912 and withdrawn in September 1980. The foghorn and clockwork mechanism are now in the Gairloch Heritage Museum along with the lens and lighting equipment which was removed in 1985 prior to automation of the Station in 1986.

It should be noted that at some sites the Northern Lighthouse Board have sold some redundant buildings within the lighthouse complex and are not responsible for the maintenance of these building.

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.

Towers of Power - The Erections of Nature and Man

Adelaida, AUSTRÀLIA 2023

The erection of St Luke's Church was based on similar circumstances to Holy Trinity as both churches were initially proposed to be built of prefabricated materials. The need for immediate accommodation was pressing, given the expansion of Anglicanism in the city. In neither case was the prefabricated church fully erected, although some of the imported materials were incorporated into the earliest parts of them. Prefabrication was important to the expansion and consolidation of British colonial outposts and St Luke's, although a late example of prefabricated building construction, is historically significant as it represents this important tool of colonisation used by the Anglican Church. The need for a church in the south-western corner of the city was recognised by 1853. During Reverend James Pollitt's term it was decided to erect a church to seat 450 persons on the present site which was provided by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. The Bishop of Adelaide, Dr Short, then in England, purchased an iron church on behalf of the Building Committee. However, when the committee was notified that the cost would be £2000 it was decided to erect a cheaper stone structure designed by Edmund Wright. In the meantime, however, the bishop had ordered an iron church to be fabricated and forwarded to South Australia. In September 1854 it was stated that an iron church '. . . expected soon to arrive' had been purchased for £750 which, with the cost of erection and other disbursements, would effectively double that figure.

St Luke's Church served a parish that was mainly residential and working class. In the 1920s and 1930s when the economic depression created much hardship the church involved itself in local missionary work, as did St. Mary Magdalene's Church on the western fringes of the Young Ward which was built as a mission church. Mission work at St Luke's continued after the Depression in the form of various social services. One of the early services was the setting up of Grey Ward Boys' Institute by the Reverend DJ. Knox. Now privately owned, the former rectory has been a night shelter for homeless youths for ten years and is shortly to become a boarding house.

If you are not French, it’s likely you haven’t ever heard the word “Saintonge”, and have no clue what it means. If you are French, it’s probably the same thing. Unless, that is, you are a fan of Romanesque, in which case you know that Saintonge, that small region of France centered around the town of Saintes (hence the name), not far from the Atlantic Ocean, just North of Bordeaux... features the highest density of Romanesque churches of all the country!

I had never visited that area of France, and so in the middle of October 2021, I took that long overdue trip and stayed two weeks in Saintes, driving left and right daily to photograph all the most significant Romanesque churches... and unfortunately leaving out many others, as they are so thick on the ground!

From the moment it had any strategic interest, most often because of its location, even a small village was likely to be fortified in the Middle Ages. This was the case of Mornac.

Apologies if this causes offence to anyone but it is a fascinating historical site

I could not visit Dorset without a look at the Cerne Abbas Giant he is quite a fine figure . The figure remains something of a mystery

The Cerne Abbas Giant is a hill figure near the village of Cerne Abbas in Dorset, England. 180 ft high, it depicts a standing nude male figure with a prominent erection and wielding a large club in its right hand. Like many other hill figures it is outlined by shallow trenches cut in the turf and backfilled with chalk rubble. The figure is listed as a scheduled monument of England and the site is owned by the National Trust.

The origin and age of the figure are unclear. It is often thought of as an ancient construction, though the earliest mention of it dates to the late 17th century. Early antiquarians associated it, on little evidence, with a Saxon deity, while other scholars sought to identify it with a Romano-British figure of Hercules or some syncretisation of the two. There is archaeological evidence that parts of the drawing have been lost over time. The lack of earlier descriptions, along with information given to an 18th-century historian by the steward of the manor at the time, leads some modern scholars to conclude that it probably dates from the 17th century, and perhaps originated as political satire. Preliminary results of a 2020 National Trust survey suggest the figure can date from no earlier than the medieval period.

Regardless of its age, the Cerne Abbas Giant has become an important part of local culture and folklore, which often associates it with fertility. It is one of England's best known hill figures and is a visitor attraction in the region.

OLYMPUS EM-1 Mark II

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.

let's see if this is "safe" enough

Erection reflection !!! hehehehehe

“APOLLO 10 ERECTION----The first (S-1C) stage of the Saturn 505 launch vehicle being prepared for erection in the high bay area of the Kennedy Space Center’s Vehicle Assembly Building. Saturn 505 is the launch vehicle for the Apollo 10 mission.”

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?

HOLY COW! FANTASTIC:
