Kingston Lacy is a country house and estate near Wimborne Minster, Dorset, England. It was for many years the family seat of the Bankes family who lived nearby at Corfe Castle until its destruction in the English Civil War after its incumbent owners, Sir John Bankes and Dame Mary, had remained loyal to Charles I.
The house was built between 1663 and 1665 by Ralph Bankes, son of Sir John Bankes, to a design by the architect Sir Roger Pratt. It is a rectangular building with two main storeys, attics and basement, modelled on Chevening in Kent. The gardens and parkland were laid down at the same time, including some of the specimen trees that remain today. Various additions and alterations were made to the house over the years and the estate remained in the ownership of the Bankes family from the 17th to the late 20th century.
The house was designated as a Grade I listed building in 1958 and the park and gardens are included in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens at Grade II. The house was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1982 after the death of Henry John Ralph Bankes, along with Corfe Castle. The house and gardens are open to the public.

Street lamps on Kingston Bridge, texture added but the gulls were really there (I wish they were a bit sharper though). Thank you all for your visits, comments and faves
All textures are my own

Despite being the primary rail artery between Toronto and Montreal, CN's Kingston Sub is no stranger to infrastructure that would otherwise be considered outdated on mainlines elsewhere on the continent. The searchlight signals governing the Newtonville crossovers date back to the implementation of Centralized Traffic Control half a century ago. The telegraph poles on the right are even older, dating to 1903 when this section of the line was double-tracked and realigned a short distance to the north of its original 1856 alignment. Eventually this will all be gone, including the subject of this photo: VIA 902 with a consist of LRC cars. Soon VIA's new Siemens trainsets will enter service and this aging secondhand equipment will be seen only in photographs.

Kingston is a Canadian city on Lake Ontario, at the mouth of the Cataraqui and St. Lawrence rivers. It's known as the "Limestone City" for its grand 19th-century buildings, including the lakeside Kingston City Hall.
I have taken photos of this grand house many times although I think this is the first time I have captured it without any people in the scene.

I was up there looking down at here in a previous shot so thought it would be fun to reverse the view. Couldn't be more different!
Kingston has a nice little harbor, and when I come outside after dinner, I found this great air against the classic boat made the picture off.....

Kingston City Hall, a 19th-century architectural gem, is the center of the city's government. Its construction began in 1843, designed by George Browne, and it was inaugurated in 1844, during Kingston's period as the capital of the Province of Canada. Its neoclassical style, with an impressive dome and stone facade, makes it stand out in the urban landscape. More than a government building, the city hall has been a witness to the city's history and an iconic landmark. In addition to its administrative functions, the building houses the Agnes Etherington Art Gallery and other public spaces. Its elaborate interior and historic rooms are an attraction for tourists and locals. This building not only represents political power but also Kingston's rich cultural heritage.
The state of Washington in the Pacific Northwest has a unique and peculiar topography with the Puget Sound literally slicing through a great portion of the eastern part of the state, creating the Olympic Peninsula which itself is made up a peninsulas that jut out into the sound & many islands as well. As the logging town of Seattle grew into a city, the small amount of residents that lived on the Olympic Peninsula had a long trek around the borders of the sound to get to Seattle for provisions as such, even today with the automobile it is a long ride. The first iteration of a ferry system in the sound was private ferries, no organization but then in the last decade of the 1800’s & the first 2 decades of the 1900’s, a web of steam ferries the Mosquito Fleet which transported people,animals,food,supplies,merchandise & just about anything to the islands & shores of the Sound. Black Ball Line, originally Puget Sound Navigation Company the largest in 1919 began converting its fleet to accommodate automobiles. The last of the Mosquito fleet in the late 1940’s, Black Ball Line was put out of business as steam ships which were many times floating fire boxes were regulated out of business & state regulation of fares.The state government purchased the Black Ball assets in 1951 and re-established some of the existing lines. Orders were put in for ferries that could transport large number of automobiles to keep up with the transportation demands to a growing population. Washington had plans to replace the ferries with bridges eventually. Eventually never happened & today there are 21 active Washington State Ferries that traverse the Puget Sound like the one I captured at Kingston with their distinct white green color that move 18,000,000 yearly .
