The Wupatki National Monument is a United States National Monument located in north-central Arizona, near Flagstaff. Rich in Native American archaeological sites, the monument is administered by the National Park Service in close conjunction with the nearby Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument.
The ruins of the Gothic Church of St Nicholas in Trzęsacz are a famous historic monument that has been gradually eroded by the sea as a result of coastal cliff erosion.
The church was built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries (on the site of an earlier 12th-century building) some 2 kilometres from the seashore. It was one of the most impressive rural Gothic churches in Western Pomerania,
Due to coastal erosion, the shoreline was steadily encroaching on the church building.
The waves of the Baltic Sea were eroding and destroying the cliff, bringing the sea closer to the walls.
In 1750, the distance was 58 metres; in 1820, 13 metres; and in 1868, just 1 metre.
The last service took place on 2 August 1874, after which the building was closed for safety reasons and its valuable furnishings were sent to other parishes.
The battle against the elements.
In 1901, the north wall collapsed into the sea;
on the night of 8–9 March 1900, the north wall collapsed.
Over the following decades, the sea claimed further sections of the church; the following were destroyed in turn:
1901 – the remaining part of the cemetery, the north and north-east walls, and part of the chancel;
1903 – the north-west corner of the church;
1909 – a section of the wall enclosing the chancel;
1913 – the northern section of the façade;
1917 – the eastern entrance;
1922 – the southern section of the façade;
1930 – another section of the chancel;
1956 – the south-western corner, including the buttress;
1973 – a section of the chancel;
1975 – a small section of the western part of the south wall
the last major landslide took place on 1 February 1994.
Cliff protection:
In 2001, a stone retaining wall was built at the base of the cliff and the foundations were reinforced, which halted further deterioration of the last remaining section of the south wall.
In 2002, a new foundation was laid beneath the church ruins, and its base was reinforced using two 15-metre-long vertical limestone-cement columns and a diagonal ground anchor, also 15 metres long. The base of the cliff and the slope were secured with an 80-metre-long edge retaining wall.

Monument Valley is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, with the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor. The most famous butte formations are located in northeastern Arizona along the Utah–Arizona state line. The valley is considered sacred by the Navajo Nation, the Native American people within whose reservation it lies.
El anfiteatro romano de Pula, también conocido como Pula Arena, está ubicado en la ciudad croata de Pula. Se trata del único anfiteatro conservado que cuenta con cuatro torres y con los tres órdenes arquitectónicos clásicos perfectamente preservados en altura. Fue levantado entre el año 27 a. C. y el 81 d. C. y por sus dimensiones está entre los seis anfiteatros romanos más grandes que se pueden contemplar en la actualidad. Asimismo, es el edificio romano mejor conservado de toda Croacia, motivo por el que aparece representado en el reverso de los billetes de diez KUNA desde el año 1993. El excelente estado de conservación de este edificio romano ha permitido estudiar a fondo las técnicas constructivas de la Antigua Roma. En la actualidad, el Pula Arena alberga la celebración de actuaciones musicales.

Highlighting the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument
Shortly after the death of Kaiser Wilhelm I, the idea arose to erect a memorial to the Kaiser, who had brought about the complete unification of Germany after three wars. Three years later, in 1891, Kaiser Wilhelm II, the grandson of the deceased, chose the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz as a suitable location. In order to create space for the memorial, a port of refuge was filled in, which at that time was located at the mouth of the Moselle. The Deutsches Eck in its present form was created.
The 100-foot-high Battlefield Monument stands as a symbol of peace and commemorates those soldiers who died on June 6, 1813.

Here we are at the top, looking back at the monument. The last time we were here was in December last year in the snow. What a difference a few months has made to the weather up here, it was much warmer. That said there was still a wind blowing from the south west, although it wasn’t cold, it was strong enough to create sea like waves on top of the cup of coffee we stopped for, sat on the rocks just to the left of the monument. Maybe next time we’re here it will be nice enough to bring a cold drink instead of a hot flask, one can hope.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
