ABERYSTWYTH CASTLE IS AN EDWARDIAN FORTRESS LOCATED IN ABERYSTWYTH, MID WALES THAT WAS BUILT DURING THE FIRST WELSH WAR IN THE LATE 13TH CENTURY. IT WAS BEGUN DURING EDWARD I'S FIRST WELSH CAMPAIGN, AND THE BUILDING WORK OF ABERYSTWYTH CASTLE STARTED IN 1277.

THE INNER WARD WAS BUILT IN A DIAMOND-SHAPED CONCENTRIC CASTLE, WITH A TWIN D-SHAPED GATEHOUSE KEEP WITH MURAL TOWERS AT EACH CORNER. THE OUTER WARD CONSISTED OF TWIN D-SHAPED GATEHOUSE, A BARBICAN, A ROCK-CUT DITCH AND A LARGE CURTAIN WALL WITH TOWERS.

IN 1637, THE CASTLE WAS CHOSEN BY CHARLES I TO HOUSE A ROYAL MINT. COINS OF EIGHT DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS WERE PRODUCED FROM LOCAL SILVER. ALL CARRIED THE EMBLEM OF THE PRINCE OF WALES FEATHERS.

CHARLES BUSHELL, WHO OPERATED THE MINT IN 1637, BECAME VERY WEALTHY. AT THE START OF THE CIVIL WAR HE LENT CHARLES I £40,000 AND RAISED A REGIMENT OF SOLDIERS MADE UP FROM LOCAL MINERS. BUSHELL'S MINT WAS CLOSED DOWN DURING THE CIVIL WAR, BUT WAS USED TO STORE SILVER AND LEAD.

GARRISONED BY ROYALISTS, THE CASTLE WAS BESIEGED BY THE PARLIAMENTARIANS AND SURRENDERED IN 1646. CROMWELL'S TROOPS MADE A GOOD JOB OF DEMOLISHING THE BUILDING IN 1649, THUS PREVENTING IT EVER BEING USED AGAIN.

The Thai Army built these pagodas, as present to the King and Queen in commemoration of their birthdays; The King's 60th in 1987 and the Queen's 60th in 1992. And the full name of these pagodas were Phra Maha Dhatu Nabha Metaneed & Phra Maha Dhatu Nabhapol Bhumisiri.

 

Located on top of the mountain, visitors could either reach the top via the escalator or the stairs. And one would have to go up to the top to visit one, and then come down and go up again to visit the other, for the pagodas were not located on the same peak.

 

Inside the pagoda, there were shrines with Buddha images where visitors pay respect to. Inside one of them along the wall, were the story of Lord Buddha's birth till enlightenment, highlighting the 4 milestones in his life and gave rise to the 4 holy places of Buddhism.

 

Outside, the garden were really well maintained for.

And the view on top is magnificent.

Dumfries House is a Palladian country house in Ayrshire, Scotland. It is located within a large estate, around 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) west of Cumnock. Noted for being one of the few such houses with much of its original 18th-century furniture still present, including specially commissioned Thomas Chippendale pieces, the house and estate is now owned in charitable trust by the The Great Steward of Scotland's Dumfries House Trust, which maintains it as a visitor attraction and hospitality and wedding venue. Both the house and the gardens are listed as significant aspects of Scottish heritage.

 

The estate and an earlier house was originally called Lochnorris, owned by Craufords of Loudoun. The present house was built in the 1750s for William Dalrymple, 5th Earl of Dumfries, by John Adam and Robert Adam. Having been inherited by the 2nd Marquess of Bute in 1814, it remained in his family until 7th Marquess decided to sell it due to the cost of upkeep.

 

Due to its significance and the risk of the furniture collection being distributed and auctioned, after three years of uncertainty, in 2007 the estate and its entire contents was purchased for £45m for the country by a consortium headed by Charles, Prince of Wales, including a £20m loan from the Prince's charitable trust. The intention was to renovate the estate to become self-sufficient, both to preserve it and regenerate the local economy. As well as donors and sponsorship, funding is also intended to come from constructing the nearby housing development of Knockroon, a planned community along the lines of the Prince's similar venture, Poundbury in Dorset

Meiji Shrine (明治神宮 Meiji Jingū?), located in Shibuya, Tokyo, is the Shinto shrine that is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shōken.[1] When Emperor Meiji died in 1912 and Empress Shōken in 1914, the Japanese people wished to pay their respects to the two influential Japanese figures. It was for this reason that Meiji Shrine was constructed and their souls enshrined on November 1, 1920.[2]

 

After the emperor's death in 1912, the Japanese Diet passed a resolution to commemorate his role in the Meiji Restoration. An iris garden in an area of Tokyo where Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken had been known to visit was chosen as the building's location. Construction began in 1915, and the shrine was built in the traditional Nagarezukuri style and is made up primarily of Japanese cypress and copper. It was formally dedicated in 1920, completed in 1921, and its grounds officially finished by 1926.[3]

The original building was destroyed during the Tokyo air raids of World War II. The present iteration of the shrine was funded through a public fund raising effort and completed in October, 1958.[4]

Meiji Shrine was brought into the flow of current events with the 2009 visit of United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. After arriving in Tokyo on her first foreign trip representing the newly elected President Barack Obama, she made her way to this shrine in advance of meetings with Japan's leaders to show her "respect toward history and the culture of Japan." [5]

 

Meiji Shrine is located in a forest that covers an area of 700,000 square-meters (about 175 acres). This area is covered by an evergreen forest that consists of 120,000 trees of 365 different species, which were donated by people from all parts of Japan when the shrine was established. The forest is visited by many people both as a spiritual home of the people and as a recreation and relaxation area in the center of Tokyo.[2] The shrine itself is comprised of two major areas:

[edit]Naien

The Naien is the inner precinct, which is centered on the shrine buildings and includes a treasure museum that houses articles of the Emperor and Empress. The treasure museum is built in the Azekurazukuri style.

[edit]Gaien

The Gaien is the outer precinct, which includes the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery that houses a collection of 80 large murals illustrative of the events in the lives of the Emperor and his consort. It also includes a variety of sports facilities, including the National Stadium, and is seen as the center of Japanese sports. It also includes the Meiji Memorial Hall, which was originally used for governmental meetings, including discussions surrounding the drafting of the Meiji Constitution in the late 19th century. Today it is used for Shinto weddings.

Located along the shores of Hudson Bay, Churchill serves as a central gathering point for both Humans and Polar Bears alike.

 

These photos were taken during a three day polar bear/cold weather safari with Frontiers North. During the trip we spent our days watching the polar bears in their natural habitat from one of the company's signature Tundra Buggies. During the evenings we docked and relaxed at the mobile Tundra Buggy Lodge as the Polar Bears came up to the lodge to say hello, trying to figure out how to gain access to the raised vehicles.

 

I've wanted to see and spend time with wild polar bears for years. They are every bit as captivating up close and in the wild as I had dreamed. The entire trip felt like we had somehow been transported inside a National Geographic special or the taping of Planet Earth.

 

These are wonderful animals that need your help and protection.

Wilton Ct. USA

 

-Wilton is a town nestled in the Norwalk River Valley in southwestern Connecticut in the United States.It is located in Fairfield County. As of the 2010 census, the town population was 18,062.

 

Wilton was officially recognized as a parish in 1726. The original 40 families of the parish began their own Congregational church and were allowed by Norwalk to hire a minister (Robert Sturgeon, who also became the town's first schoolmaster), open schools and build roads. During the Revolutionary War, in 1777 the British used Wilton as an escape route after their successful raid on Danbury. Several homes were burned, but the town remained intact. In 1802, Wilton was granted a Town Charter by the Connecticut General Assembly and became a political entity independent from Norwalk. With a strong anti-slavery sentiment by its residents, Wilton served as a stop on the Underground Railroad.

-Today, Wilton, like many other Fairfield County towns, is an expensive residential community with open lands (a testament to its colonial farming roots), historic architecture and extensive town services. Residents commonly commute to New York City, Stamford, and Norwalk, although there are a number of office buildings in town. Wilton was rated one of CNN's top 25 towns to live, boasting an average household income of over $300,000 per family.

-AIG Financial Products was headquartered in the town.Its trading in credit derivatives essentially bankrupted its parent company, AIG, and helped create the global financial crisis of 2008–2009.Wilton is also home to Cannondale Bicycle Corporation, Melissa & Doug, and the Blue Buffalo Company, (pet food manufacturer). Also, recent developments in town include the expansion of the Norwalk River Valley Trail, a multi-use trail that is designed to eventually run between Norwalk and Danbury.

Biblioteca Comunale di Sant'agostino is located on Piazza IX in a 15th century building, the former church and convent of the Hermits of St. Augustine (1486) . The structure, which from the architectural point of view is inspired by the late-Gothic Sicilian style. The structure was acquired by the municipal patrimony after the unification of Italy. In 1933 the Church became the seat of the Library to house the archives of the former convents of S. Agostino, S. Domenico and part of the Capuchins. In 1981 the entire building was restored and from 1985 on has been used as a library and multi-purpose hall / Taormina is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Messina, on the east coast of the island of Sicily, Italy. Taormina has been a tourist destination since the 19th century. Its beaches on the Ionian sea, including that of Isola Bella, are accessible via an aerial tramway built in 1992. The present town of Taormina occupies the ancient site, on a hill which forms the last projecting point of the mountain ridge that extends along the coast from Cape Pelorus to this point. The site of the old town is about 820 feet above the sea, while a very steep and almost isolated rock, crowned by a Saracen castle, rises about 490 feet higher. This is the likely site of the ancient Arx or citadel, an inaccessible position mentioned by ancient writers. Portions of the ancient walls may be traced at intervals all-round the brow of the hill, the whole of the summit of which was occupied by the ancient city. Numerous fragments of ancient buildings are scattered over its whole surface, including extensive reservoirs of water, sepulchers, tessellated pavements, etc., and the remains of a spacious edifice, commonly called a Naumachia, but the real purpose of which it is difficult to determine. The Ancient Theatre of Taormina is built for the most part of brick, and is therefore probably of Roman date, though the plan and arrangement are in accordance with those of Greek, rather than Roman, theatres; whence it is supposed that the present structure was rebuilt upon the foundations of an older theatre of the Greek period. With a diameter of 358 feet (after an expansion in the 2nd century), this theatre is the second largest of its kind in Sicily (after that of Syracuse); it is frequently used for operatic and theatrical performances and for concerts. The greater part of the original seats have disappeared, but the wall which surrounded the whole seating area is preserved, and the proscenium, of which only traces remain in most ancient theatres, are here preserved in an uncommon state of integrity. From the fragments of architectural decorations still extant we learn that it was of the Corinthian order, and richly ornamented. Some portions of a temple are also visible, converted into the church of San Pancrazio, but the edifice is of small size. Other sights include the 10th century Palazzo Corvaja, a 1635 Baroque fountain, the Church of San Domenico, the Anglican Church of Saint George, and the municipal gardens (Giardini della Villa Comunale).

This is a photograph from the eight annual Donadea 50KM Ultramarathon which was held in Donadea Forest, Donadea, Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday 11th February 2017 at 10:00. The race was also an International Association of Ultrarunners Silver Label Event and the Athletics Association of Ireland (AAI) National 50KM Championships. The race completes 10 loops of a very well known 5KM trail around the circumference of the forest. Most of this trail is in very good condition with good conditions underfoot for the entire 5KM stretch. The start-finish area is located close to the coffee shop area in the center of the park beside the now ruined and abandoned Donadea Castle. This year, like all previous events, was a fantastic event with great support around the course for the athletes. However the structure of the course with the repeated loops makes a great atmosphere for the runners themselves with great camaraderie being shown amongst all of the competitors. This is one of the most popular 50KM races in Ireland. A garmin GPS link is available here connect.garmin.com/activity/70206204

About 180 people finished the race in the time limit of 5 hours. The big factor in today's race was the bitter cold weather. While the weather was dry it was very cold with the air temperature struggling to reach more than 3 or 4 degrees celsius. But the wind chill made it feel much much colder. However the cold weather of the past number of days meant that the track all around the 5KM loop was very dry and firm underfoot.

Where is Donadea?. Donadea Forest Park is situated in rural north Kildare and is approximately 640 acres in size. The amenities at the forest include good walking trails, a diversity of natural habitats, a walled stream, a large natural lake, and the ruins of Donadea castle. The Park is a designated National Heritage Area. The basic designation for wildlife is the Natural Heritage Area (NHA). This is an area considered important for the habitats present or which holds species of plants and animals whose habitat needs protection.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

 

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

 

     ►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

     ►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

     ►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

     ►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

  

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

 

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

 

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

 

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Swainsboro is a city located in Emanuel County, Georgia, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city had a total population of 7,343. The city is the county seat of Emanuel County. Early in its corporate life, much like other rural Georgia towns, Swainsboro depended on railroads for transportation. However, in the 1930s, many of the town's streets and sidewalks were paved, and Swainsboro found itself at the intersection of two major national highways, U.S. 1 and U.S. 80, thus earning its city motto: "Crossroads of the Great South". U.S. 1 was the principal highway from Maine to Key West, and U.S. 80, at that time, ran from Tybee to San Diego.

Located at the intersection of OH 54 and Hickory Grove Rd. Was built and opened in 1917 and all township schools were consolidated here. First High School class graduated here in 1919. Sadly, this school building, along with the gymnasium beside it doesn't exist anymore. In late 2018 or early 2019, these building were demolished and in 2021, an apparent warehouse for Michael's Potato Farm was being constructed on the site. Urbana Township, Champaign County, Ohio.

Antoni Gaudí's Park Güell located in the upper part of barcelona was originally intended as part of a residential garden community for a developer Eusebi Güell and constructed from 1900 to 1914. The project, however, never came to pass and the Park Güell was eventually sold to the city of Barcelona in 1923. Today the park remains a public park and UNESCO World Heritage monument.

 

The Park Güell demonstrates Gaudi's high regard for nature. He used recycled ceramics rather than firing new ones. To avoid leveling the land, Gaudi designed meandering viaducts. Finally, he planned the park to include numerous trees. The entire Park Güell is made of stone, ceramic, and natural elements. For the mosaics, Gaudi used broken ceramic tiles, plates, and cups.

Extract from the Preston Court Leet Record:

 

The "windy mill"—a wind-mill of the ordinary kind-was situated between the top of Mill-hill and Adelphi-street, or about 50 yards north of the present Adelphi hotel opposite the bottom of Friargate. The original structure of Mill-hill Ragged School, built in 1853 (five years after the inauguration of the Ragged School movement in Preston), stands a little to the west of the site which the old mill occupied, and the addition to the school, at the east end, made in 1889, mainly if not entirely covers it. The mill was pulled down about 1848.

Statue located beside El Castillo de Chapultepec (Museo Nacional de Historia ), Mexico City. The construction of the Castillo de Chapultepec was started by the Viceroy Bernardo de Galvez in 1785. Many newer additions were added by Emperor Maximilian in 1865-1866.

 

El Castillo is most famous for being the last position captured by the U.S. Army during the Mexican-American War. This battle is known as the Battle of Chapultepec, September 12-13, 1847.

 

The castle is located in Chapultepec Park (Bosque de Chapultepec), a massive park located in Mexico City DF. It is 1600 acres (6 sq km) in size and is a major tourist attraction in the city. In the early 13th century the Aztecs first arrived in what is now Mexico City (Valle de Mexico). Living temporarily in the area of the current park, they named it Chapultepec, which means 'grasshopper hill' in the Aztec language, Nahuatl. The Spanish follwed in 1521 taking control of the entire valley and declaring the area of Chapultepec to be protected for the good of the population.

 

Located within the park are the Chapultepec Zoo (Zoologico de Chapultepec), Auditorio Nacional, an amusement park called La Feria, the modern art museum (Museo de Arte Moderno) and contemporary art museum (Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Internacional Rufino Tamayo), and Mexico's world famous Anthroplogy Museum (Museo Nacional de Antropologia e Historia).

 

The park is within easy walking distance from the neighbouring districts of Polanco, Insurgentes, and Zona Rosa. There are three Metro (subway) stations adjacent to the park (Auditorio, Constituyentes, and Chapultepec). It is a very large park and walking between the different attractions will take longer than expected.
