At the open-air museum of Groß Raden. This is the site for a Slavic settlement from the 9th and 10th centuries AD - and show two distinct building phases. The first settlement dates to the middle of the 9th century, but after just a few decades it was totally destroyed through fire. But the settlement was rebuilt again around 900.
The building to the left, with wattle and daub walls, is how the houses in the first phase looked. When the settlement was repopulated they built the kind of much sturdier blockhouses you can see to the right.
The place is thought to have been a gathering place, both for religious things and the exchange of goods, for the West Slavic tribe the Warnower (or Warnabi, Wrani et c. - the name comes in many forms).
The settlement (the name lost to us) was destroyed again around the year 1000 - but how is still a bit of a mystery. It has been speculated, though not proven, that this had something to do with the campaign by German king Otto III against Slavic tribes he made in 995.
After the abandonment this spot was left alone, not used to much more than animal grazing, until the archaeologists started to dig there in the 1973. The museum was opened in 1987. The main archaeologist behind this excavation, Ewald Schuldt, lived to see this, but died just a couple of weeks later.

The North Pacific Cannery was founded in 1889 and processed salmon until 1968. In 1987 ownership transferred from BC Packers to the village of Port Edward. NPC has 25 buildings that can be toured, including a visitor centre, canning loft, First Nations and Japanese bunkhouses, a European house, and the Mess House, which has been turned into a small cafe. The Cannery was declared a national historic site in 1989, 100 years after its founding.
One of two beautiful barns on a former farm that is now part of a housing development. I believe the barns are now used for community centers for the residents in this development.

Cavendish Road, a street in Markyate village (Hertfordshire) flanked by 1930s semi-detached homes. For "first-time buyers", this type of home used to be affordable and, therefore, the first step on the "housing ladder". In today's Britain, however, and in may parts of Europe in fact, young people are increasingly unable to afford the purchase of even small homes as prices have rocketed. Renting such homes is not only expensive, perhaps even more expensive than paying off a mortgage, it also prevents young people from ever getting on the housing ladder. Dreams and expectations remain unfulfilled. And for that, we all will have to pay a price. Leica M8, Voigtlaender NC 1.4/35 (polariser).
Public housing in Gloucester Street - to be sold on the open market as prime real estate in the heart of the city.
This is a great location to take pictures of Half Dome. This view shows the meadow that has Half Dome on it East side. I looked online and found that this housing is for Park employees, but I'm not sure who qualifies to get them. What a view to wake up to every morning! Of course you could also watch the sun set with your favorite beverage.
Covering is the next part of construction.
The sanctuary at Hastings Park was one of the many developments made between 1997 and 2001 in order to improve the facilities associated with the park. Within the sanctuary is a large pond surrounded by native plants and walkways. The sanctuary also supports many species of birds and small animals. The pond is stocked with rainbow trout that can be fished for off of a small dock at the northwest corner of the pond.
