Perpendicular, interrupted strips of bricks form the facade of Goes town hall. They play a role in the complex energy management system of this building.

Llenroc is a Gothic revival house constructed for Ezra Cornell just below the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, United States. It now houses the Cornell chapter of the Delta Phi fraternity.
Llenroc was built for Ezra Cornell between 1865 and 1875. It is a fine and well preserved example of masonry Gothic Revival architecture.
The house is constructed of "Llenroc limestone", a name used for the limestone quarried as building material taken from west of Libe Slope. Artisans from around the world created the many elaborate fixtures of the house including: English woodcarvers responsible for the carved interior molding on the first and second floor and stonemasons from Germany completed the exterior stonework. Irish, Scottish, Italian, and Indian craftsmen also made significant contributions. Eight complete marble fireplaces were also imported from Europe to be plac 242
I apologize for my absence from Flickr for the past few months. I was finally able to get out and use my astrotracer. It really comes in handy to reduce the noise in these high ISO long exposures. I didn't use any noise reduction for this shot. The foreground is light painted with low ISO and blended in with a multi sky shot blended in the software called Sequator.
It basically takes multiple sky exposures and blends them together reducing noise. That along with my astrotracer which moves the sensor in my camera along with the rotation of the stars allows for up to 5 minute shots. I find much over 1 minute has some star trailing in the corners so I keep mine to about 60 seconds each.
A big shout out to the father and his kids who stopped and chatted with me. It really helped to pass the time as I'm standing in the dead of night by myself waiting for the Milky Way to show itself.
A bit about the barn per the AG Week article published online... A stone barn that rises out of the far western Minnesota prairie like a cathedral was built by Frank Schott and his sons, William and Anthony, starting in 1923. The construction began with the foundation and the family worked on the barn for 20 years. The foundation is 2 feet wide and 5 feet deep.
Frank Schott emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1907. He learned the art of stone masonry from his father and grandfather.
The rocks were raised by block and tackle using horses or a tractor to pull the rocks into the desired location. The rocks were dropped into a fresh cement mixture.
The roof of the barn constructed of wooden shingles was burned by vandals, according to a story in The Land magazine.
It is amazing in this kind of traditional architecture made by masonry walls, to look how many sizes of stones are used and what a difficult work is to fit it all. This is an old house in a village at Madrid mountains region, Spain.

masonry drill bits differ from normal drill bits in that they have a hardened cutting tip (usually tungsten carbide) that is used to chip/grind hard materials such as masonry, brick or stone rather than cut through the material. The deeply fluted spiral shape that of the bit helps to remove dust and debris from the hole that is formed. Masonry bits are tippically used in hammer drills that use a combination of percussion and rotation to create a hole of the desired dimension

Every year on the last weekend of August the small town of Bad Wimpfen - residence of the German emperors in the middle ages - hosts its annual Zunftmarkt (Guild Market). It's a reenactment for medieval crafts. It's a very fine spectacle - especially in a town that still reflects about 900 years of history in its streets and townscape.
A quiet moment at Ta Prohm temple sees next to no one in view. This particular temple is well known on account of the way some trees have found a way of intertwining with the masonry. I have not watched the Tomb Raider films but I understand that this 12th century temple was used in the filming. In places, 400-year-old silk-cotton trees and strangler figs intertwine with its crumbling, un-restored stone ruins.
This temple is located in the region of Angkor Wat and forms part of the UNESCO site.
Walking through Philadelphia's historical and impressive City Hall Building let's you see the wonderful masonry work.
I had originally tried to capture this scene with a reflection of the arches but with my limited knowledge of DOF at the time I stuffed it up well enough to warrant having another go and besides, the lack of clouds was hardly going to impress anyone either!
On my eventual return though, to my disappointment I discovered a newly erected fence right in front of the lake on the west side of Lion bridge preventing access to the same view.
So, knowing this has now become a rare perspective of the house here's the half that ain't half bad. Can anyone lend me a sky?
Thank you for wading by :)
