Ham House is a 17th-century house set in formal gardens on the bank of the River Thames in Ham, south of Richmond in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The original house was completed in 1610 by Thomas Vavasour, an Elizabethan courtier and Knight Marshal to James I
Rubjergknude light house is no longer in service. It is half covered in a sand dune. There used to be a cafe only a few years ago, but the pressure from the sand, broke the house. You can still see the remains of it.

I'm not sure whether this finch was planning to eat this flower, use it for nesting, or give it to her sweetheart, but either way I'm glad she held the pose long enough for me to snap it!
The house sparrow is an opportunistic bird of towns and cities, parks, gardens and farmland. House sparrows feed on a variety of foods, including buds, grains, nuts and scraps, and will visit bird tables and feeders. They live in colonies and nest in holes or crevices in buildings, among Ivy or other bushes, and in nest boxes; they use a variety of materials to make their nests. Both parents will incubate the three to five eggs and raise the young. House sparrows are residents in the UK, but may disperse from their breeding grounds to feed on nearby farmland and grassland in winter.
Male house sparrows are streaky brown above and grey below. They have chestnut wings with white wing bars, a black bib and a grey cap. Females and juveniles are a drab brown. Tree sparrows look similar to male house sparrows, but have a brown crown and a black spot on each cheek.
House Finches can be found year-around in Michigan's Lower Peninsula, but they will move to another area if a food source is not readily available.

The house sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a bird of the sparrow family Passeridae, found in most parts of the world.
** Some very wonderful shots posted lately by my contacts of very colourful exotic birds. I cannot compete with those sadly, but here is a charming little House Sparrow sitting on the Camellia in the garden
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
House Finches, particularly males, can look very different from one to another. This is largely due to differences in their diet rather than regional differences. Even though all of eastern North America’s House Finches are descended from the same few birds released on Long Island (meaning they’re much more closely related to each other than they are to birds across the West), there aren’t any strong differences in size, shape, or color between the two regions.
Bath-house in the Abramtsevo estate.
The roots of Abramtsevo go far into the past: for the first time the village of Obramkovo was mentioned in the documents of the 16th century, but as an estate it has been known since the beginning of the 18th century.
It is no coincidence that the bathhouse-teremok (1877–1878) designed by I.P. Ropeta is considered one of the most "bizarre" buildings on the estate: a low wooden building with a mezzanine has very unusual proportions - small windows and a door, a massive porch and a high wide roof decorated with sawn carvings. The Aksakovs used the tower as a bathhouse, while the Mamontovs eventually converted it into a guest house. Now there is an exposition of the Abramtsevo carpentry workshop. But the bathhouse is worth visiting not only for the exhibition of products by E. D. Polenova, but also for the sake of the interior of the bathhouse - this is an excellent example of the "Russian style".
(Passer domesticus) We are moving house in January and we will be sad to be leaving behind our lovely garden and particularly our waterfall which has provided endless photo opportunities with many garden birds :(
Crowded house at Great Ocean Road (Australia) of limestone stacks, a couple being 2 of the 12 Apostles and the rest, rugged cliffs. In time, the rugged cliffs will become severely eroded by the ocean and what remains will become stacks, as the other stacks (to the left in the picture) dissolve and disappear; well demonstrating the never-ending and cyclic processes of nature.

From the old mining town Røros, Norway. This house, called “Pers-stuggu”, has been inhabited by working families, and the living room building with attic probably dates from the early 18th century. So, the main part of this house was built about 300 years ago! The hill behind the house is a slag heap, the leftovers from extraction of copper ore. It was 20 degrees below zero when I took this picture and a few days earlier it was below 30. Today it may seem beautiful and idyllic, but imagine how it was living here with a family 300 years ago.
Yes, you probably recognize this one! I originally posted this house about a year ago titled "Perfectly imperfect". Sadly 2023 has not been kind to this one. Locally we've had several strong thunderstorms pass through, along with a massive windstorm. This resulted in a significant structural collapse of the remaining farmhouse (the rear portion collapsed as of last year). I'm guessing this may be one of the last times I see this old house. Either the rest will give way soon, or the county will force demolition due to being an unsafe structure. Either way, it's sad to see this one go. It has been one of my favorite old houses to photograph.
Included in the comments is a link to my post on this house from last year.

House with reflection in a pond in the Abramtsevo estate. Moscow region. Russia.
The building of the former medical building of the sanatorium, which was built next to the manor house in 1938. Here are the works of artists of the XX-XXI centuries, creatively associated with Abramtsevo. Many of these craftsmen lived and worked in the summer cottage village of Novo-Abramtsevo, founded in the 1930s near the estate.
In 1843, the estate was acquired by the writer Sergei Timofeevich Aksakov (1791–1859). Since then, many cultural figures have come here: writers Nikolai Gogol and Ivan Turgenev, historian Mikhail Pogodin, actor Mikhail Schepkin.
In 1870 the estate was bought by a wealthy industrialist and philanthropist Savva Mamontov. Two years later, the Abramtsevo art circle was conceived. Ilya Repin, Viktor Vasnetsov, Mikhail Vrubel, Isaac Levitan, Valentin Serov and others came here to visit and work.
After the 1917 revolution, the state established a museum in the estate. Now on the territory of the reserve there are architectural monuments of the XVIII-XIX centuries.
