The Palendorp is a monument that symbolizes an old village that has completely disappeared into the sea since 1792. This beautiful work of art consists of 160 poles of six to twelve meters high. The poles are in the shape of 10 houses and a church.

The current village is already the fourth Petten. The third, situated around the current cemetery where the church stood, was demolished by order of the German occupiers in 1943 because the Atlantkwall had to be built there — an entire village disappeared…

El Alcázar de Segovia es uno de los monumentos más destacados de la ciudad españolade Segovia (Castilla y León) y uno de los más visitados del país. Está ubicado en la Ciudad vieja, declarada Patrimonio Mundial de la Unesco en 1985.

En su ya bimilenaria existencia, el Alcázar segoviano ha sido castro romano, fortaleza medieval, palacio real, custodio del tesoro real, prisión de estado, Real Colegio de Artillería y Archivo General Militar-​

Se trata de uno de los castillos-palacio de finales de la Edad Media, comienzos de la Edad Moderna, más distintivos de toda Europa en virtud de su forma de proa de barco.

Los restos más antiguos hallados en el lugar son unos sillares de granito similares a los del acueducto romano, lo que hace suponer que en tiempos de la dominación romana de la ciudad ya hubo de haber un castro o fortificación. Sobre los restos de éste, el alcázar fue erigido como fortaleza hispano-árabe.​ La primera noticia documental que se conserva del edificio data del año 1122, poco después de que Alfonso VI de León reconquistase la ciudad, aunque no es hasta 1155 cuando aparece citado con la denominación de alcázar, en una carta custodiada en el archivo de la catedral. Fue residencia del rey Alfonso VIII. En 1258, reinando Alfonso X, se hundió el palacio cuando el rey se encontraba en su interior. Este núcleo más antiguo corresponde con la sala de armas. Fue numerosas veces restaurado y ampliado, posiblemente desde Alfonso X hasta Felipe II. A este último se debe su aspecto actual, su "silueta" lo hace único entre los castillos españoles.

En la Edad Media, por su seguridad como por la proximidad de zonas de caza, el Alcázar se convirtió en una de las residencias favoritas de los Reyes de Castilla, en especial de Alfonso X. Fue habitado muchas veces y llegó a ser uno de los más suntuosos palacios-castillos en el siglo XV, siendo testigo mudo de acontecimientos claves de la Historia de España como la proclamación de Isabel la Católica (13 de diciembre de 1474) o la misa de velaciones entre Felipe II y Ana de Austria (14 de noviembre de 1570) en su capilla.

La fortaleza sirvió posteriormente como prisión de Estado hasta que en 1762. Carlos III fundó en Segovia el Real Colegio de Artillería que tuvo su sede en el alcázar. En 1862, un incendio destruyó las suntuosas techumbres de las salas nobles, que pudieron ser reconstruidas fielmente con posterioridad, gracias a la existencia de grabados realizados por José María Avrial y Flores en 1839.

En 1931 fue declarado monumento histórico artístico. En 1953 se creó el patronato del alcázar que es el responsable del museo que se puede visitar en su interior.

As I approached Monument Valley I was totally unprepared for the breathtaking scene before my eyes. I had to stop and attempt to capture it.

Apparently this amazing rock formation is not a human-made monument – it’s a monument of Mother Nature. Vermillion Cliffs (Arisona, U.S.A.) at Navajo Bridge.

The hike started with gorgeous weather, partly cloudy and warm. Then half way through it was obvious that a thunderstorm was approaching. Sure enough, I got plenty of heavy rain but found a bit of shelter. Still an amazing hike, highly recommend it!

 

Thanks to Brooks for inspiring this!

 

In 1850, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville sought shelter in a cave on Monument Mountain and that's where they're believed to have discussed ideas for Moby Dick.

As a little boy, I was a fan of John Wayne and have remained so to this day. The western films by director John Ford with John Wayne were a highlight for me at the time. In 1992 I was finally able to see this dream landscape from the films with my own eyes and I almost had tears. In 2012, during our second tour through the American Southwest, that had to happen again, of course. For me this landscape has something very special which naturally brings back memories of my childhood and that is something wonderful.

Als kleiner Junge war ich schon ein Fan von John Wayne und bin es bis heute geblieben. Die Westernfilme vom Regisseur John Ford mit John Wayne waren damals ein Highlight für mich. Im Jahr 1992 konnte ich endlich diese Traumlandschaft aus den Filmen mit eigenen Augen sehen und hatte fast Tränen. Im Jahr 2012, während unserer zweiten Tour durch den Südwesten der USA, mußte sich das natürlich wiederholen. Für mich hat diese Landschaft etwas ganz spezielles welche natürlich Erinnerungen an meine Kindheit hervorruft und das ist etwas wunderbares.

The Washington Monument, designed in the simple shape of an ancient Egyptian obelisk, was built in honour of George Washington. Constructed between 1848 and 1884 it was the tallest structure in the world at the time of completion, until the construction of the Eiffel Tower in France in 1889. The monument however remains the world's tallest stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk, standing 554 feet 7 11/32 inches (169.046 m) tall. It has an aluminum apex, which at the time of casting was the largest piece of aluminum in the world with Aluminum being relatively unknown having a value similar to silver. The slight change in shading of the marble at 46m (150ft) came from a halt in construction between 1854 and 1877 due to lack of funds and the civil war with construction eventually resuming from a different source of stone. National Mall, Washington DC, United States of America. Took this shot this evening, so its a rare post for me to share the day it was taken!

Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his best-known films, and thus, in the words of critic Keith Phipps, "its 13 square kilometers have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West." Between 1945 and 1967, the southern extent of the Monument Upwarp was mined for uranium, which occurs in scattered areas of the Shinarump Conglomerate; vanadium and copper are associated with uranium in some deposits.

This was taken after I came down from the top of the arch. I brought myself a Wifi device which connect to an iphone so you can see what the camera sees without having to look in the view finder which i find really hard for these type of shots so this little device helped alot in lining everything up.
