Location: Kloster Reichenbach (Klosterkirche)
Architektur:
Die romanische Basilika, die aus einem Langhaus, zwei Seitenschiffen und zwei Türmen besteht, verweist auf die Hirsauer Bauschule. Die ursprünglichen drei Apsiden im Osten wurden 1300 durch einen gotischen Chor ersetzt.
Dem romanischen Westwerk wurde 1716 eine barocke Fassade vorgebaut. Der Chor (um 1300), die eingewölbten Seitenschiffe (15. Jahrhundert) und die erhöhten Kirchtürme sind in die Gotik einzuordnen.
Aus der Romanik ist, außer den beiden Türklopfern am Außenportal keine weiteren Innenausstattungsgegenstände mehr erhalten.
Der barocke Hochaltar Mariä Himmelfahrt wird Otto Gebhard zugeschrieben.
Mitte des 20 Jh. brannte der Dachstuhl den Kirche fast völlig ab und wurde durch einen neuen Dachstuhl der damaligen Zeit ersetzt. Um 2013/14 herum wurde der Dachstuhl komplett ersetzt da das geringe Gewicht des "alten" Dachstuhls aus Mitte des 20 Jh. sich als statisch nachteilig herausstellte. Der neue Dachstuhl wurde entsprechend der alten Pläne überdimensioniert.

Viewed from The Empire State Building
At 1,046 feet (319 m), it is the tallest brick building in the world with a steel framework, and was the world's tallest building for 11 months after its completion in 1930.Originally a project of real estate developer and former New York State Senator William H. Reynolds, the building was constructed by Walter Chrysler, the head of the Chrysler Corporation. The construction of the Chrysler Building, an early skyscraper, was characterized by a competition with 40 Wall Street and the Empire State Building to become the world's tallest building. Although the Chrysler Building was built and designed specifically for the car manufacturer, the corporation did not pay for its construction and never owned it; Walter Chrysler decided to fund the entire cost personally so his children could inherit it. An annex was completed in 1952, and the building was sold by the Chrysler family the next year, with numerous subsequent owners.
When the Chrysler Building opened, there were mixed reviews of the building's design, ranging from views of it as inane and unoriginal to the idea that it was modernist and iconic. Perceptions of the building have slowly evolved into its now being seen as a paragon of the Art Deco architectural style.
The Chrysler Building is considered a leading example of Art Deco architecture.It is constructed of a steel frame in-filled with masonry, with areas of decorative metal cladding. Approximately fifty metal ornaments protrude at the building's corners on five floors reminiscent of gargoyles on Gothic cathedrals.
The Chrysler Building uses bright "Nirosta" stainless steel extensively in its design, an austenitic alloy developed in Germany by Krupp (a German acronym for nichtrostender Stahl, meaning "non-rusting steel"). It was the first use of this "18-8 stainless steel" in an American project, composed of 18% chromium and 8% nickel.Nirosta was used in the exterior ornaments, the window frames, the crown, and the needle.The steel was an integral part of Van Alen's design, as E.E. Thum explains: "The use of permanently bright metal was of greatest aid in the carrying of rising lines and the diminishing circular forms in the roof treatment, so as to accentuate the gradual upward swing until it literally dissolves into the sky...."
The Chrysler Building is renowned for, and recognized by, its terraced crown, which is an extension of the main tower.Composed of seven radiating terraced arches, Van Alen's design of the crown is a cruciform groin vault of seven concentric members with transitioning setbacks, mounted one behind another. The entire crown is clad with Nirosta steel, ribbed and riveted in a radiating sunburst pattern with many triangular vaulted windows, reminiscent of the spokes of a wheel. The windows are repeated, in smaller form, on the terraced crown's seven narrow setbacks. Due to the curved shape of the dome, the Nirosta sheets had to be measured on site, so most of the work was carried out in workshops on the building's 67th and 75th floors. According to Robinson, the terraced crown "continue[s] the wedding-cake layering of the building itself.

The main island in the mist I'm pretty sure was Soay 1225 highest point and approx 244 Acres, the Sea Stac centre is Stac Biorach 236' with the end of Soay Stac right 200' which is a long slender blade of rock.
There is a Wellington Bomber wreck site high and left on Soay. Located between Pursan a' Chaim 586' and Tigh Dugan 500' though the wreck could be a little higher than both of these outcrops.
I will try to link the photo of a section of the Wellington Geodesic framework I shot from sea level on a previous trip.
Info on the Wellington Bomber Lost on Soay St Kilda:
This aircraft was probably a Wellington Mk.VIII LA995 from 303 Ferry Training Unit, Stornoway, which was lost on 23 February 1943 with a crew of 6 whilst on a navex/fuel consumption test. The rear gunner was washed up at Europie on 2 March 1943 and is buried in Essex, the others lie on the site in an unmarked grave.
The wreck was known about in 1944 but wartime priorities seem to have prevented a visit to search for remains until the RAF’s visit in 1980; certainly, the wreck was reported by Morton Boyd of the Nature Conservancy Council as long ago as 1952.
The aircraft could also be Wellington HX448, Lost Sep 28 1942, which also had Canadians on board and was also in the area. The magazine After The Battle No30 has the story of the investigation conducted to find out the identity of the crashed plane on Soay, However no definitive proof (i.e id tags engine numbers etc) was found either way hence most websites giving both aircraft numbers. It would seem unlikely that further searches would be possible due to the remoteness and difficulty of access, changeable weather etc, Also as the wreckage or what is left is most likely to have been covered by scree falls and or rolling or being blown down the cliff
The book, Aircraft Wrecks, the walkers guide is a good source of info regarding the two planes on the main island of Hirta.
The Church building on Hirta (St Kilda) has a small plaque commemorating the losses and carries the names of the casualties for the two planes on the main island, but for the Soay crash this section has been left blank of names, until the mystery is solved.
This is another account:
There are two contenders as the Wellington which crashed into Soay (St Kilda).
Vickers Wellington Mark VIII of No 303 FTU Stornoway (LA 993) was lost undertaking navigation and fuel consumption tests. LA993 was last seen at 15.23 hours 4 miles north of Boreray on 23 February 1943. Visibility was 6-12 miles with showers at midday in Stornoway. It was not until 1979 that the remains of the crew of a crashed Wellington on the uninhabited Soay were buried there. The wreckage was originally found by Morton Boyd, a retired Squadron Leader, who climbed Soay’s vertical cliffs to make his grim discovery and parties landed by helicopter combed the site in 1978 and 1979.
It is believed that this is the correct plane as an alternative Wellington, HX 448 of No 7 OTU went missing near St. Kilda on 28 September 1942 flying from Silloth and Limavady to Rockall.
The latter aircraft had five Canadians in the six-man crew and a Canadian hat badge was found on Soay. However, Knutson, the Canadian navigator on LA993 and other evidence has led most investigators to opt for his aircraft.
Rear Gunner Alston of LA993 was washed up on the Isle of Lewis and was interred near his home in London.
HX448 was airborne for at least 4 hours and 49 minutes, the last and only bearings being Renfrew 292 3rd 0203 and Islay 303 3rd 203. The ETA for Rockall was 0310, given at 0100 hours and at 0415 overdue action was taken.
It has been assumed the crash site on Soay was raided as the guns, ammunition and dog tags were missing. Reports indicate five different RAF type shoes and an army boot with no suede flying boots one would expect in February flying conditions.
The St Kilda Church brass memorial plaque was dedicated by Father John Barry in 1979. The crews of the Beaufighter and Sunderland which crashed at Conaichair and Glen More on Hirta are listed on separate panels but the Wellington’s remain blank and it may be appropriate that both crews are added (but space obviously prohibits that).
The Rue du Rempart-Sud, a narrow lane in the old heart of the village of Eguisheim, Alsace, France
Some background information:
The village of Eguisheim is located in the French département of Haut-Rhin in the Grand Est region of France, just about 7 km (4.5 miles) to the southwest of the city of Colmar. Eguisheim has more than 1,700 residents and borders on the Alsace Wine Route. Wine of very high quality is grown here, mainly on shell limestone soil. The village’s municipal area belongs to the Ballons des Vosges Nature Park and lies on the eastern slopes of the Vosges, where many great wines are produced.
In early historic times the area was inhabited by the Gaul tribe of the Senones. In the Roman Age, there was most likely already a castellum on the spot of Eguisheim and it used to be the Romans who developed the cultivation of wine in the Alsace region. The counts of Eguisheim, who ruled the municipal territory in the Early and High Middle Ages, descended from Charlemagne, who was King of the Franks and King of the Lombards in the second half of the 8th century, as well as Roman Emperor and ruler of western and central Europe as from the year 800.
In 1048, Count Bruno of Eguisheim raised to the papacy and thenceforth called himself Pope Leo IX. Right after his burial 1054 in the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, he was already venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church. In the Middle Ages, a castle was built right in the centre of the Eguisheim, whose further history is closely related to the history of the Château de Eguisheim,
The castle was long believed to date from the 11th or 12th century. This was because historians were relying on texts actually describing another castle, the Château de Haut Eguisheim, which used to be the birthplace of Pope Leo IX in 1002 (who is named "Saint-Léon" in French). But In fact, the castle's octagonal plan and central keep, its masonry and, most importantly, its similarity to other castles date it to the first part of the 13th century.
Built by the counts of Eguisheim, the castle was taken over by the Bishop of Strasbourg during the second half of the 13th century. Until the French Revolution in 1789, episcopal bailiffs occupied it for many centuries. In 1444, the building was temporarily occupied by so-called Écorcheurs (in English: "cutthroats"), demobilised mercenaries, who devastated parts of France after the Armagnac–Burgundian Civil War. During the Thirty Years' War, the château served as a repository for the church treasure of Husseren-les-Châteaux.
Originally the Château de Eguisheim was surrounded by a moat, but by the 18th century, the moat was filled in. Houses built in the castle courtyard and against its walls were destroyed by a fire in 1877 which also damaged the castle. Subsequently, it was left in ruins for several years. In 1885, the castle was again bought by the Bishop of Strasbourg. He organised the architect Charles Winkler to restore the residence and preserve the lower part of the circular wall. Furthermore, it was Winkler’s task to demolish the remains of the former keep and build a neo-Romanesque chapel in its place. This chapel, which is visible in the centre of my picture, was completed in 1895.
Today, the village is a popular tourist destination, not only because the Alsace Wine Route passes Eguisheim, but also because the commune is ranked in the top 20 of the association "The most beautiful villages of France" (in French: "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France"), which promotes small and picturesque French villages of quality heritage. Currently 164 villages throughout France are pooled under the umbrella of the organisation. In 2013, Eguisheim was even voted the "Village préféré des Français" (in English: "Favourite French Village"), an annual distinction that passes from town to town throughout France.
