The bridge Gretsi is located below the village Palaiopyrgos at Pogoni area in Epirus. It bridges Gormos river at Gretsi place. It was a passage for the locals who used it to go to their fields and the mill.
It has three arches, acquired to the rocks. The big one bridges the cliff that is located directly underneath it and the water creates a waterfall!
I found myself in the area of Palaiopirgos in November without having it planned. It was in the evening and I had just a little time until dark. Arriving at Paleopirgos there was absolute wilderness. There was no one to ask for information and I was just standing out of the car waiting for the ‘deus ex machine’. And he did come in a farm truck. He informed me that the access was impossible for that time. Approaching it with my own car was difficult due to bad road and hiking was a dangerous case because of the sheepdogs of the area. I decided to leave and come back better prepared at the earliest opportunity. Eventually not only did I see the bridge but I also photographed it. A big thank you to Christos Mentis from Kefalovriso , Pogoni for taking the time to guide me to the bridge.
Στην περιοχή του Παλαιόπυργου βρέθηκα το Νοέμβριο χωρίς να το έχω προγραμματίσει.Απόγευμα και με λίγο σχετικά χρόνο μέχρι να σκοτεινιάσει. Φθάνοντας στον Παλαιόπυργο ερημιά απόλυτη. Κανείς για πληροφορίες κι εγω έξω απο το αυτοκίνητο να περιμένω τον απο μηχανής θεό.Ο απο μηχανής θεός εμφανίστηκε σε ένα αγροτικό .Με πληροφόρησε οτι η πρόσβαση ήταν ακατόρθωτη για εκείνη την ώρα . Η προσέγγιση με το δικό μου αυτοκίνητο δύσκολη λόγω κακού δρόμου και η περίπτωση πεζοπορίας επικίνδυνη λόγω των τσομπανόσκυλων της περιοχής.Αποφάσισα να επιστρέψω και να επανέλθω καλύτερα προετοιμασμένη σε πρώτη ευκαιρία. Τελικά οχι απλά είδα το γεφύρι αλλά και το φωτογράφισα. Ενα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ στο Χρήστο Μεντή απο το Κεφαλόβρυσο Πωγωνίου για το χρόνο που διέθεσε για να με οδηγήσει στο γεφύρι .
The first brewery in Texas. Located in La Grange, Texas
Here's more info:
No one should ever underestimate the impact that German immigrants have had on Texas. German settlers were in Texas from the beginning of the Colonial period, but at the end of the Mexican War large numbers of Germans and others immigrated to Texas because of the mild climate and cheap land.
Map Link
One such German immigrant was Heinrich Kreische. He arrived in Fayette County in 1849 and purchased 172 acres on a bluff overlooking the Colorado River above La Grange. This land included the land where the Dawson/Meir tomb is located. He honored those who gave their life for Texas by maintaining the tomb his whole life.
Photo Link
Mr. Kreische was a master stone mason and over a period time built a three story stone home on the bluff. He was also involved in the construction of many stone structures in Fayette County. I've noticed in my travels that German stone masons have been involved in almost every major stone building in Texas in the 19th century, from the Capitol Building in Austin to the Fort in Fort Davis, Texas.
Heinrich Kreische
In 1860 Mr. Kreische began building one of the first breweries in Texas. He cleverly built it in a ravine below his house that was feed water from a spring that he used in the production of beer. By the middle of the Civil War the brewery was producing beer in a nine step brewing process with an ingenious gravity feed water system. When a new batch of beer was ready a large banner was raised that said "Frisch Auf" (Freshen Up). This was an invitation to the community to come to the bluff and enjoy a picnic, dancing, games and a stein or two or three of "Kreische's Bluff Beer"!
In 1882 Heinrich Kreische, German immigrant, master stone mason, and brew master, was killed in a wagon accident.
Saigon is located just to the north of Mekong Delta. But the Saigon river, by which Saigon is located, is not a branch nor a tributary of the Mekong river.
This photo was taken on the riverside not far from the People's Committee Building. Modern high-rise buildings were mushrooming on the both sides of the river.
The bridge over the Saigon river is Cầu Ba Son or the Ba Son bridge. It was just completed in 2022.
Vietnam embarked on Đổi Mới, an economic reform programme, in 1986 with the goal of "socialist-oriented market economy." It consisted of privatisation, promotion of foreign direct investment, normalisation of diplomatic relations etc., which resulted in a rapid economic growth that still continues today.
Vietnam is expected to be a next factory of the world replacing the current role of China. It is noted, however, that Vietnam is still a one-party dictatorship, and the government still maintains a grip on the state-owned corporations like China does. It is not certain if the current government regime would survive in the future as the economic development is conducive to democratic reforms.
St Athernase Church is a Romanesque church located in Leuchars, Fife, Scotland. It is a Category A listed building and remains in use as a Church of Scotland parish church.
The chancel and half-round apse date from the 12th century with the exterior featuring blind arcades with typical Norman arches. The church was granted by Ness son of William, Lord of Leuchars, to the canons of St Andrews in 1185. Around 1700 a belfry was added, and in 1858 restoration was carried out to the nave.
The church is open to the public in summer, at other times by arrangement. Relics preserved inside include part of a 9th-century cross-slab found near the village (closely comparable to the large collection at St Andrews Cathedral), and three elaborate 16th century memorial stones of the Bruce's of Earlshall, the local lairds. One of the latter shows a full length figure of a woman, naïve in execution, but valuable in documenting contemporary dress.
The oft-mentioned dedication of the medieval church of Leuchars to St Athernase is actually an error. It arises from a nineteenth-century misreading of a list of church dedications in the Register of St Andrews Priory, a medieval manuscript now in the National Archives of Scotland. Folio 155v. has a list of churches dedicated, or re-dedicated, by bishop David de Bernham of St Andrews in the 1240s. The eighth church in this list is 'ecclesia sancti Johannis euangeliste et sancti Athernisci confessoris de Losceresch (the church of St John the evangelist and St Athernase the confessor). However the church of Losceresch is not the church of Leuchars, which in medieval sources is spelt Lochris, Locres etc., but the parish church of Lathrisk (now Kettle parish in Fife), whose early spellings are Losresc (1170s), Loseresch, Losseresc (1227) and such like. Athernase is the patron saint not of Leuchars but of Lathrisk.
The patron of Leuchars is not known for certain, but some medieval sources indicate a local cult of St Bonoc, a name unknown outside the parish of Leuchars, and a chapel of St Bonoc, complete with chaplain, is known to have existed.
"Athernase" may be an anglicised form of the name Itharnán, found also in Fife at Kilrenny, and on the Isle of May, an Irish missionary who "died among the Picts" in 669 according to the Annals of Ulster.

located in Kalaheo on the south side of the Island is this beautiful tree tunnel that creates a canopy over the entire road. Of course it also blocks much of the light and makes it a bit of a difficult subject for an IR photo that needs significantly more light than visible light photography. But after taking 50 shots and coming close to being ran over a couple of times, this one turned out ok
Located in an "Ecological Priority Area" (Ökologische Vorrangfläche) in the Berg am Laim district in Munich.
This area was formerly a railway depot named Bahnbetriebswerk München 4. The depot's track area was redeveloped into a new residential quarter called Baumkirchen Mitte. The western part of this redevelopment area was left basically untouched, to let nature regain the former depot alone, this serves now as an ecological park.

The Registan (from Classical Persian: ریگستان, romanized: Rēgistān, lit. 'place of sand'; Uzbek: Registon) is a historic public square in the city of Samarkand, now in Uzbekistan, famed for its ensemble of three madrasas (Islamic schools): the Ulugh Beg Madrasa of the Timurid period, and the Sherdar Madrasa and Tilakari Madrasa, built later under the Janid dynasty.
People gathered on the Registan to hear royal proclamations, heralded by blasts on enormous copper pipes called dzharchis — and for public executions. The three madrasas feature distinctive Islamic style with muqarnas. The square was regarded as the hub of the Timurid Renaissance.

Located in a small hidden bay on the coastal walk from Bideford to Appledore, this boathouse was such a cool find. Although quiet, it looked very much occupied and made me think about the pirate ship from The Goonies film. A misty early afternoon added to the scene.
Warmont Castle is located north of the village along the main road. Huys te Warmont is built on the site of a medieval castle dating from 1250, incorporating traces of medieval architecture.The original timber structures were replaced by buildings that were subsequently damaged by fire in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries and rebuilt each time on the old foundations.A 16th-century drawing makes it possible to reconstruct the medieval original, when the castle consisted of a square ground-plan of four wings and four corner towers set around an interior court, the whole surrounded by a moat. The living-quarters were in the north and east wings. The massive west tower was once assumed to have been the keep, but the thickness of its walls and its dimensions are too small for this purpose. In 1629 the castle was given a new entrance range by Salomon de Bray, featuring pilasters and a broad pediment. The south tower, originally octagonal, was replaced by a square one after 1650. Owing to the various rebuilding projects, Warmond acquired an irregular character in the course of the centuries. In 1780 the castle was extensively rebuilt. Floor levels and the proportions of the rooms were altered, and the walls were stuccoed. Medieval remains were hidden by new walls and plasterwork; de Bray’s additions disappeared.
The lake is located at the northern end of the endorheic Altiplano basin high in the Andes on the border of Peru and Bolivia. The western part of the lake lies within the Puno Region of Peru, and the eastern side is located in the Bolivian La Paz Department.
The lake consists of two nearly separate subbasins connected by the Strait of Tiquina, which is 800 m (2,620 ft) across at the narrowest point. The larger subbasin, Lago Grande (also called Lago Chucuito), has a mean depth of 135 m (443 ft) and a maximum depth of 284 m (932 ft). The smaller subbasin, Wiñaymarka (also called Lago Pequeño, "little lake"), has a mean depth of 9 m (30 ft) and a maximum depth of 40 m (131 ft).
The overall average depth of the lake is 107 m (351 ft).
Name:
Neither the protohistoric nor prehistoric name for Lake Titicaca is known. Given the various Native American groups that occupied the Lake Titicaca region, it likely lacked a single, commonly accepted name in prehistoric times and at the time the Spaniards arrived.
The terms titi and caca can be translated in multiple ways. In Aymara, titi can be translated as either puma, lead, or a heavy metal. The word caca (kaka) can be translated as white or gray hairs of the head and the term k’ak’a can be translated as either crack or fissure, or alternatively, comb of a bird.
According to Weston La Barre, the Aymara considered in 1948 that the proper name of the lake is titiq’aq’a, which means gray, discolored, lead-colored puma. This phrase refers to the sacred carved rock found on the Island of the Sun. In addition to names including the term titi and/or caca, Lake Titicaca was also known as Chuquivitu in the 16th century. This name can be loosely translated as lance point. This name survives in modern usage in which the large lake is occasionally referred to as Lago Chucuito.
Stanish argues that the logical explanation for the origin of the name Titicaca is a corruption of the term thakhsi cala, which is the 15th- to 16th-century name of the sacred rock on the Island of the Sun. Given the lack of a common name for Lake Titicaca in the 16th century, the Spaniards are thought to have used the name of the site of the most important indigenous shrine in the region, thakhsi cala on the Island of the Sun, as the name for the lake. In time and with usage, this name developed into Titicaca.
Locally, the lake goes by several names. The small lake to the south is called Huiñamarca. The large lake also is occasionally referred to as Lago Mayor, and the small lake as Lago Menor. In addition, the southeast quarter of the lake is separate from the main body (connected only by the Strait of Tiquina), and the Bolivians call it Lago Huiñaymarca (also Wiñay Marka, which in Aymara means the Eternal City) and the larger part Lago Chucuito. In Peru, these smaller and larger parts are referred to as Lago Pequeño and Lago Grande, respectively.

Cabot Tower a historical landmark located on Signal Hill a National Historic site in the City of St. John's on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
Cabot Tower is a tower in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, situated on Signal Hill. Construction of the tower began in 1898 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland, and Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
In 1901, Guglielmo Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic wireless message at a position near the tower, the letter "S" in Morse Code sent from Poldhu, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Cabot Tower is now the centre of the Signal Hill National Historic Site of Canada,] with walking trails and an interpretation centre.
Located at the highest point of Signal Hill, overlooking the city and the ocean, Cabot Tower is an example of late-Gothic Revival style. Built of irregularly coursed red sandstone, it is composed of a two-story, 30 foot, square structure with a three-story, 50 foot octagonal tower that stands on the southeast corner of the building. The corners are buttressed at the first floor level and further emphasized through the use of heavier blocks of stone. On the main body of the building, at the top of the second storey level, is a line of repeating pattern like an exaggerated dentil row or inverted crenelations. The attached tower, which houses the main entrance, is very plain with a double string course marking the divisions between second and third storeys and heavy corbel tables marking the eight corners of the turret at the flared upper level. The windows on both the corner turret and the body of the tower proper are rectangular and set under heavy stone lintels.
The architect of Cabot Tower, William Howe Greene, was a prominent St. John's architect and an associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Wikipedia

The Sanctuary of Our Lady Consolation is located on the parish of St. Andrzej Apostle in Golina. The object of worship is the image of Our Lady cheering, which is the work of an unknown artist from the second half of the 17th century. It was painted on a canvas stuffed on a board. The picture presents Madonna with the Baby Jesus on the left hand. The image was repainted several times, but the original colors were recovered during the last maintenance. It is located in the main altar of historic wooden church, which was built in 1410. It is a single-nave Church of the framework and skeletal structure, covered with a shingle roof. Next to the church there is a historic belfry from 1750, and the whole is surrounded by a park with alleys and the stations of the Way of the Cross on rocks. The cult associated with the Sanctuary began in the Middle Ages.
On the head of Our Lady and Jesus, there are papal crowns made in silver and gold plated, imposed on August 23, 1970 by Fr. Cardinal Primate Stefan Wyszyński.
