Colorado National Monument is a spectacular park located on a high desert plateau of western Colorado near the Utah border. There are magnificent views of deep canyons, towering rock formations and abundant wildlife.
These interesting sandstone formations carved by wind and erosion are named the “Coke Ovens” because of their resemblance to the beehive ovens used historically in Europe and the Americas for burning coal to create coke, which was a fuel used to make iron ore.
"Looking close... on Friday!" "nuts & bolts".

Situated in the West Yorkshire market town of Hebden Bridge, it started life in around 1800 as one of the first mills of the Industrial Revolution.
Driven by a water wheel, for nine decades the mill produced cotton cloth as part of the county’s textile industry. By the turn of the 20th century that had come to an end and in the early 1900s, it instead began to be used as somewhat of an “entertainment emporium”.
Inside, it offered a dance hall, refreshments, dining saloons and a roller-skating rink and came to be loved by both the local community and visitors alike.
Today it is run as a visitor and education centre by the National Trust, who acquired the building in 1950, after it had fallen into disuse following the Second World War.
Set in the Hardcastle Crags valley, a landscape nicknamed “Little Switzerland” thanks to its unspoilt woodland, tumbling streams and spectacular waterfalls, it remains a popular beauty spot.
In 1833, it is noted that 21 employees were based there, working 72 hours per week and living in the adjacent workers’ cottage.

The Sabelspoort (also called Eusebiuspoort) is a city gate of the Dutch city Arnhem.
The gate was first mentioned in 1357. Arnhem once had four city gates.
The Sabelspoort was part of a castle surrounded by a high wall with embrasures. Later, the gate was also used to lock up prisoners and insane people, which is why it was also called the 'Geckenpoort'.
In 1642 the gate was restored and it was given a Renaissance facade on the city side (in above photo). In later years, the gate was enclosed by houses, but during the Second World War and especially during the Battle of Arnhem these houses were so badly damaged that they were demolished after the liberation and the gate was released. The gate itself was also severely damaged. Photo here (taken from the other side of the gate - not the city side):

The gate was rebuilt in 1952. Since then it has been part of the adjacent Provincial House of Gelderland.

The Church was built in 1799 on the former Caminho dos Pinheiros, today Rua da Consolação, with the help of alms from devotees to Our Lady of Consolation and with the endorsement of the diocesan bishop Mateus de Abreu Pereira were able to begin its construction, with the technique of taipa, quite common at the time. The oldest record of its construction is a document transcribed by Jacinto Ribeiro, in which it attributes the idealization of the temple to the faithful Luiz da Silva and his brothers. Located in a boggy and marshy region there is another document proving the Church's ancient existence: on November 23, 1803, an office was registered that showed the need for drinking water for the residents of the neighborhood "Nossa Senhora da Consolação". In view of the custom of baptizing the district with religious names, mainly related to sanctuaries, the Church, besides already existing, corresponded to an important piece for the functioning of the region. And, in the year 1810, a plant in the city of São Paulo contained the chapel.

An ancient and historic place with a tranquil environment. A good place for an ancient traditional chinese scenic shot.
The Icelandic horse is a breed of horse developed in Iceland. Although the horses are small, at times pony-sized, most registries for the Icelandic refer to it as a horse. Icelandic horses are long-lived and hardy. In their native country they have few diseases; Icelandic law prevents horses from being imported into the country and exported animals are not allowed to return. The Icelandic displays two gaits in addition to the typical walk, trot, and canter/gallop commonly displayed by other breeds. The only breed of horse in Iceland, they are also popular internationally, and sizable populations exist in Europe and North America. The breed is still used for traditional sheepherding work in its native country, as well as for leisure, showing, and racing.
Developed from ponies taken to Iceland by Norse settlers in the 9th and 10th centuries, the breed is mentioned in literature and historical records throughout Icelandic history

The National Wallace Monument is a 67 m tower on the shoulder of the Abbey Craig, a hilltop overlooking Stirling in Scotland. It commemorates Sir William Wallace, a 13th- and 14th-century Scottish hero.
Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England. It is located approximately 3 miles (5 km) south-west of Ripon in North Yorkshire, near to the village of Aldfield. Founded in 1132, the abbey operated for 407 years, becoming one of the wealthiest monasteries in England until its dissolution, by order of Henry VIII, in 1539. Wikipedia
Everyone loves Mardin, and it’s immediately apparent why: this ancient town crowned with a castle overlooks the vast, roasted Mesopotamian plains extending to Syria, and the honey-coloured stone houses that trip down the side of the hillside give it something of the feel of old city.
Another old window from the historical Carriage House at Coleman Memorial Park. Today the "Homestead" stables, known as the Carriage House (1853), stands in the center of the park.

The Yueh Hai Ching Temple in Singapore, built in 1826 and renovated in 1855, is a great example of southern Chinese temple architecture, specifically in the Teochew architectural style from the Qing Dynasty. It is a Taoist temple.
The current structure of this shrine dates back to 1850 and then was substantially renovated in 1895. Since then, it has undergone several restorations.
The temple was designated as a National Monument of Singapore in 1996. Its restoration and conservation in 2011 earned the Award of Merit at the 2014 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards.
The courtyard of Yueh Hai Ching Temple, enclosed by surrounding walls and buildings, possesses a sense of introspection.
Its seclusion from the outside world creates a tranquil, self-contained space, as a serene retreat within the temple grounds.
