Reflexione Cristiana | Los desastres han llegado uno tras otro, ¿ha aprovechado usted la oportunidad que Dios permite al hombre que se arrepienta?
El terremoto, la inundación y la hambruna también son frecuentes y cada vez más graves. Todos sabemos que hay permiso de Dios cuando se producen los desastres. Pero, ¿se ha preguntado alguna vez: cuál es la voluntad de Dios detrás de los desastres y cómo podemos ser protegidos en medio de ellos?
👇
Dios Todopoderoso dice: “Cuando [la humanidad] llena de corrupción y hasta un punto doloroso le desobedeció a Dios, Él tuvo que destruirla por Su carácter y Su esencia, y de acuerdo con Sus principios. Pero por Su esencia, Dios siguió compadeciéndose de ella, y hasta quiso usar diversas formas para redimirla, a fin de que continuase viviendo. El hombre, sin embargo, se opuso a Dios, siguió desobedeciéndole y se negó a aceptar Su salvación, es decir, se negó a aceptar Sus buenas intenciones. No importa cómo lo llamó Dios, le recordó, le proveyó, lo ayudó o toleró, el hombre no lo entendía ni lo apreciaba, ni le prestaba atención. En Su dolor, Dios no olvidó concederle al hombre Su máxima tolerancia, esperando que el hombre cambie de rumbo. Después de alcanzar Su límite, hizo lo que tuvo que hacer sin dudarlo. En otras palabras, hubo un período y un proceso específicos desde el momento en que Dios planeó destruir la humanidad hasta el comienzo de Su obra de destrucción de la misma. Este proceso existió con el propósito de capacitar al hombre para que cambiase de rumbo, y esta fue la última oportunidad que Dios le dio al hombre. ¿Qué hizo Dios, pues, en este período anterior a la destrucción de la humanidad? Llevó a cabo una cantidad significativa de trabajo recordatorio y de exhortación”.
Extracto de “La Palabra manifestada en carne”
👇
De las palabras de Dios, vemos que Dios posee la esencia justa y santa. En los últimos días, los seres humanos llevan una vida licenciosa para comer, beber y divertirse, compitiendo y luchando entre sí por su propio beneficio, están llenos de mentiras y violencia; nadie busca el camino verdadero, encima niegan abiertamente la existencia de Dios, e incluso los creyentes también siguen la tendencia del mundo y buscan el dinero, la fama y la fortuna, codiciando los placeres carnales y viviendo en el pecado, sin ser capaces de liberarse de él. Toda la humanidad se ha corrompido hasta el punto de que Dios la odia y tiene que destruirla. Pero debido a que las razas humanas fueron creadas por Dios y Él no puede soportar destruirlas, sigue haciendo la obra de salvarlas.
👇
Ahora los desastres están cayendo una tras otra, lo cual es el recordatorio y la advertencia de Dios a la humanidad corrupta, y Él les da a las personas la oportunidad de arrepentirse ante Él, para que aquellos que tienen corazón y espíritu se den cuenta de que las profecías del regreso del Señor se han cumplido y de que lo más urgente es apresurarse a buscar Su aparición y obra en los últimos días y aceptar Su salvación plena. Por lo tanto, a través de la llegada de estas calamidades Dios le da la última oportunidad a la gente para que se arrepienta, y debemos aprovechar esta ocasión única.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre-Dame_Basilica_(Montreal):
Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal (French: Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal) is a minor basilica of the Catholic Church in the historic Old Montreal district of Montreal in Quebec, Canada. It is located at 110 Notre-Dame Street West, at the corner of Saint Sulpice Street. It is situated next to the Saint-Sulpice Seminary and faces the Place d'Armes square.
The interior of the church is amongst the most dramatic in the world and regarded as a masterpiece of Gothic Revival architecture. The vaults are coloured deep blue and decorated with golden stars, and the rest of the sanctuary is decorated in blues, azures, reds, purples, silver, and gold. It is filled with hundreds of intricate wooden carvings and several religious statues. Unusual for a church, the stained glass windows along the walls of the sanctuary do not depict biblical scenes, but rather scenes from the religious history of Montreal. It also has a Casavant Frères pipe organ, dated 1891, which comprises four keyboards, 99 stops using electromagnetic action and an adjustable combination system, 7000 individual pipes, and a pedal board.
Approximately 11 million people visit Notre-Dame Basilica every year, making it one of the most visited monuments in North America. In 2023, Notre-Dame was named the 6th most beautiful building in the world by Angi, a home service publication which analyzes TripAdvisor reviews. The publication ranked Notre-Dame de Paris second and Barcelona's Sagrada Família first.
God’s words | "God Himself, the Unique VII" (Part 3) - "God Is the Source of Life for All Things (I) "
Introduction
Almighty God says, "God made all things interconnected, mutually intertwined, and interdependent. He used this method and these rules to maintain the survival and existence of all things and in this way mankind has lived quietly and peacefully and has grown and multiplied from one generation to the next in this living environment up to the present day. God balances the natural environment to ensure mankind's survival. If God's regulation and control were not in place, no man could maintain and balance the environment, even if it was created by God in the first place—this still can't ensure mankind's survival. So you can see that God handles it all perfectly!" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

The most typical view of a GSW...high up and out of the way! Woodpeckers of all varieties are close to my heart, and are in no small part responsible for getting me more interested both in birding and photography thereof. GSW, MSW, LSW and Greens would frequent the garden of our previous home. They're fascinating birds to watch.
On this occasion, I watched this male for a few minutes, hoping he'd be tempted nearer. No joy, but managed to capture an [almost!] full body shot in the emerging autumn foliage.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta%27s_Rockies
Alberta's Rockies comprise the Canadian Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada. On the southwestern part of the province along the British Columbia border, the region covers all but the south of Census Division 15.
The main industry in this region is tourism.
This human region is almost identical to the Alberta Mountain forests ecozone. The region contains the Central Front Ranges and the Continental Ranges of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and includes the Banff National Park and Jasper National Park, as well as the Kananaskis Country park system and the Willmore Wilderness.
The main transportation corridors run through the Kicking Horse Pass and the Yellowhead Pass from east to west, while the Bow Valley and Athabasca River valley are followed by the longitudinal Icefields Parkway. Another important waterway that crosses this region is the North Saskatchewan River.
Some of the best ski resorts of the Rockies are in this region, and are important tourist destinations. They include Fortress Mountain Resort, Lake Louise, Marmot Basin, Mount Norquay, Nakiska and Sunshine Village. Other tourist attractions include the glaciers of the Columbia, Wapta and Waputik Icefields such as the Athabasca, Bow, Crowfoot, Hector, Peyto, Saskatchewan and Vulture Glaciers.
Glacial lakes line the Icefields Parkway and dot the surrounding valleys. Some of the more spectacular are Bow, Hector, Louise, Maligne, Moraine, Peyto, Pyramid and Vermilion lakes.
Banff and Jasper are the main communities in the region. The length is defined by the Icefields Parkway, and it is crossed by the Trans-Canada Highway and the Yellowhead Highway into British Columbia. David Thompson Highway leads from the Rockies into central Alberta from Saskatchewan River Crossing, and Banff Windermere Parkway leads from Castle Junction (south of Lake Louise) through the Kootenay National Park to the Columbia River valley. The Bighorn Highway defines most of the eastern limit of the region.

The Toronto Islands are a chain of 15[1] small islands in Lake Ontario, south of mainland Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Comprising the only group of islands in the western part of Lake Ontario, the Toronto Islands are located just offshore from the city's downtown area, provide shelter for Toronto Harbour, and separate Toronto from the rest of Lake Ontario. The islands are home to the Toronto Island Park, the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, several private yacht clubs, a public marina, Centreville Amusement Park, a year-round residential neighbourhood, and several public beaches. The island community is the largest urban car-free community in North America.[2] Public ferries operate year-round from Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, and privately operated water taxis operate from May to September.

Gospel Movie Clip | "What a Beautiful Voice" (5) - Is God's Judgment in the Last Days Punishment or Salvation?
Here is the link to the What a Beautiful Voice movie: www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/what-a-beautiful-voice-mo...
Introduction
Some people read God’s words and see that there are some harsh things that are judgment of mankind, and condemnation and curse. They think that if God's judgment
and curses people, won't they be condemned and punished? How can it be said that this kind of judgment is to purify and save mankind? God's word says: "What God curses is the disobedience of man, and what He judges are the sins of man." "The severe disclosures of the word are all for the purpose of leading you to the right path" (The Word Appears in the Flesh). What is the proper way to understand God's work of judgment in the last days?

Aberglaube
Es ist die Blume, die man klassischerweise für die Frage Er liebt mich, er liebt mich nicht verwendet. Das Abpflücken der Blumen soll allerdings Gewitter heraufbeschwören.
Die Ringelblume soll sich auch zur Liebesweissagung im Traum verwenden lassen: Sie wird gemeinsam mit Sommerkräutern getrocknet, gemahlen und mit Honig und Essig zu einer Salbe verarbeitet. Junge Frauen trugen die Salbe auf, bevor sie zu Bett gingen und riefen den Heiligen Lukas an, sie von ihrer großen Liebe träumen zu lassen.
Bei Bauern stand die Ringelblume in hohem Ansehen, weil sich mit ihrer Hilfe das Tageswetter voraussagen ließ. Waren die Blüten zwischen 6 und 7 Uhr bereits geöffnet, so versprach dies einen schönen sonnigen Tag. Waren sie jedoch nach 7 Uhr noch geschlossen, so musste mit Regen gerechnet werden.

A beauty spot of the South Pennines with more than 400 acres of unspoilt woodland.
As well as being the home of the northern hairy wood ant, there are tumbling streams, glorious waterfalls and stacks of millstone grit, all crisscrossed by more than 15 miles of footpaths.
At the heart of the woodland you'll find Gibson Mill, home to the Weaving Shed Cafe. Having no link to the national grid, the mill is unique in the UK and is the Trust's flagship sustainable building.

de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maigl%C3%B6ckchen
Das Maiglöckchen (Convallaria majalis) ist eine Pflanzenart aus der artenarmen Gattung Convallaria in der Familie der Spargelgewächse (Asparagaceae). In der Deutschschweiz wird auch der Trivialname Maieriesli verwendet. Es wurde 2014 zur Giftpflanze des Jahres gewählt.
Das Maiglöckchen wird insgesamt als sehr stark giftig eingestuft. Alle Pflanzenteile sind giftig, besonders aber Blüten und Früchte.
Die mit einem Durchmesser von sechs bis zwölf Millimeter kugeligen, dreifächerigen Beeren färben sich bei Reife leuchtend rot. Sie enthalten Fruchtfleisch und ein bis fünf Samen. Die gelben bis hell-braunen Samen sind etwa drei bis vier Millimeter lang und fast kugelig bis kantig geformt.[3] Sie benötigen Kälte zum Keimen und gelten als kurzlebig.
Devocional | Se debe saber al recibir al Señor: ¿Qué es la encarnación?
Dios Todopoderoso dice: “La ‘encarnación’ es la aparición de Dios en la carne; Él obra en medio de la humanidad creada a imagen de la carne. Por tanto, para que Dios se encarne, primero debe ser carne, una carne con una humanidad normal; esto, como mínimo, es el requisito previo más básico. De hecho, la implicación de la encarnación de Dios es que Él vive y obra en la carne; Dios se hace carne en Su misma esencia, se hace hombre”.
“El Dios encarnado se llama Cristo y Cristo es la carne vestida con el Espíritu de Dios. Esta carne es diferente a cualquier hombre que es de la carne. La diferencia es porque Cristo no es de carne y hueso; Él es la personificación del Espíritu. Tiene tanto una humanidad normal como una divinidad completa. Su divinidad no la posee ningún hombre. Su humanidad normal sustenta todas Sus actividades normales en la carne, mientras que Su divinidad lleva a cabo la obra de Dios mismo”.
Se puede ver que la encarnación de Dios significa que Su Espíritu se materializa en una carne que tiene a la vez una humanidad y pensamiento normales, mediante este cuerpo obra y habla entre el hombre. Aunque Dios encarnado se aparece como una persona común, tiene tanto una humanidad normal como una divinidad completa, es decir, esencialmente es Dios, así que solo Él puede expresar la verdad, salvar a la gente y hacer la obra de Dios mismo.
Ahora el Señor ha vuelto por medio de la encarnación, es Dios Todopoderoso. Esto cumple las palabras del Señor Jesús: “Vosotros también estad preparados, porque el Hijo del Hombre vendrá a la hora que no esperéis” (Lucas 12:40).

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Tung_Street:
Lee Tung Street (利東街), known as the Wedding Card Street (喜帖街; 囍帖街) by locals, is a street in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The street was famed in Hong Kong and abroad as a centre for publishing and for the manufacturing of wedding cards and other similar items.
As part of an Urban Renewal Authority (URA) project, all interests of Lee Tung Street were resumed by and reverted to the Government of Hong Kong since 1 November 2005, and subsequently demolished in December 2007. The demolition was seen by many as causing irreparable harm to the cultural heritage of Hong Kong.
The site was redeveloped as a luxury shopping and housing development. As with all other URA projects, no original tenants have been resettled on site.
After the development, only small part of next to QRE Plaza is official there. The rest of street, rebuilt and rebranded as Lee Tung Avenue, is a pedestrian street open for public in the high-rise housing estate The Avenue.
The street was known for its printing industry, and Wan Chai was a longtime host of the headquarters of the Hong Kong Times, Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po. In the 1950s, print shops began to gather in Lee Tung Street between Johnston Road and Queen's Road East. Rumours had it that the government of Hong Kong mandated this in order to easily monitor illegal publication.
The poet and translator Dai Wangshu also established a short-lived bookstore in Lee Tung Street in the early 1950s.
In the 1970s, the print shops also began producing wedding invitations, lai see, fai chun, and other items, for which they became famous in the 1980s. Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong people visited the shops there to order their wedding cards, name cards, and traditional Chinese calendars.
Testimonio cristiano | ¿Quién fue el que rescató su matrimonio?
Ella tenía una figura agraciada y parecía tan bonita como una flor, se casó con un hombre que era alto y bien parecido. Después de se casaron, descubrió que él no era un hombre bueno, no tomó el camino correcto y la golpeó... Ella se divorció de él. Más tarde, ella buscó un hombre sencillo y amable, y se casó con él, pero no le gustaba su apariencia de ese hombre y no importaba lo que él hiciera, ella no era capaz de aceptarlo por completo. Su matrimonio entró en crisis otra vez... Después de que creyera en Dios, por la guía de la Palabra de Dios, ¿cómo confió en Dios para salvar su matrimonio que estaba a punto de derrumbarse?

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Skytree:
Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー, Tōkyō Sukaitsurī) is a broadcasting and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo. It became the tallest tower in Japan in 2010 and reached its full height of 634 meters (2,080 ft) in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the Canton Tower, and the third tallest structure in the world after Merdeka 118 (678.9 m or 2,227 ft) and the Burj Khalifa (829.8 m or 2,722 ft). It is the tallest freestanding tower in the OECD, the G20 and G7 countries.
The tower is the primary television and radio broadcast site for the Kantō region; the older Tokyo Tower no longer gives complete digital terrestrial television broadcasting coverage because it is surrounded by high-rise buildings. Skytree was completed on Leap Day, 29 February 2012, with the tower opening to the public on 22 May 2012. The tower is the centrepiece of a large commercial development funded by Tobu Railway (which owns the complex) and a group of six terrestrial broadcasters headed by NHK. Trains stop at the adjacent Tokyo Skytree Station and nearby Oshiage Station. The complex is seven kilometres (4.3 miles) northeast of Tokyo Station. Sumida Aquarium is in the Tokyo Solamachi complex.
Design
The tower's design was published on 24 November 2006, based on the following three concepts:
Fusion of neofuturistic design and the traditional beauty of Japan
Catalyst for revitalization of the city
Contribution to disaster prevention – "Safety and Security"
The base of the tower has a structure similar to a tripod; from a height of about 350 m (1,150 ft) and above, the tower's structure is cylindrical to offer panoramic views of the river and the city. There are observatories at 350 m (1,150 ft), with a capacity of up to 2,000 people, and 450 m (1,480 ft), with a capacity of 900 people. The upper observatory features a spiral, glass-covered skywalk in which visitors ascend the last 5 metres to the highest point at the upper platform. A section of glass flooring gives visitors a direct downward view of the streets below.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dongdaemun_Design_Plaza:
Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) is a major urban development landmark in Seoul, South Korea, designed by Zaha Hadid and Samoo, with a distinctively neo-futuristic design characterized by the "powerful, curving forms of elongated structures." The landmark is the centerpiece of South Korea's fashion hub and popular tourist destination, Dongdaemun, featuring a walkable park on its roofs, large global exhibition spaces, futuristic retail stores, and restored parts of the Seoul fortress.
The DDP has been one of the main reasons for Seoul's designation as the World Design Capital in 2010. Construction started in 2009, and it was officially inaugurated on March 21, 2014. It is physically connected to Seoul Subway via Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station on Line 2, 4, and 5.
The Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) was designed by British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, winner of the 2004 Pritzker Prize, with the concept of "Metonymic Landscape". Metonymy refers to a method of describing a specific object indirectly, and Hadid integrated historical, cultural, urban, social, and economic aspects of Seoul deduced from this method in order to create a scene of the landscape. Designed as a cultural hub in the historical district of Seoul, South Korea's largest fashion district, the DDP is composed of undulating surfaces that resemble the flow of liquid and allow flexibility in space. The state-of-the-art BIM (Building Information Modeling), mega-truss (extra-large roof truss) system, and space frame system are the key features in terms of creating grand-scale spaces. According to Hadid, the fundamental features of her design were "transparency, porousness, and durability." Many ecological features, including a double-skin facade, solar panels, and a water recycling system, are included in the building.
The construction project for replacing Dongdaemun Stadium with a public park has been discussed in the media since 2000, and the city of Seoul established a basic master plan for alternating the function of Dongdaemun Stadium in 2005. Upon the advice of architects, and in order to secure a high-quality design for the new landmark of Seoul, the city invited architects in February 2007 to participate in a design competition. The city requested that the architects include a design plaza, underground spaces, a history park, and a culture park in the project, according to the guidelines. Zaha Hadid's Metonymic Landscape won the competition.
The exterior envelope of the DDP, a smooth and giant mushroom-like structure floating above ground level, is made of concrete, aluminum, steel, and stone. The interior of the building is finished with plaster reinforced with synthetic fiber, acoustic tiles, acrylic resin, stainless steel, and polished stone in the interior.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantis_shrimp:
Mantis shrimp are carnivorous marine crustaceans of the order Stomatopoda. Stomatopods branched off from other members of the class Malacostraca around 340 million years ago. Mantis shrimp typically grow to around 10 cm (3.9 in) in length, while a few can reach up to 38 cm (15 in). A mantis shrimp's carapace covers only the rear part of the head and the first four segments of the thorax. Varieties range in colour from shades of brown to vivid colours, with more than 520 species of mantis shrimp known. They are among the most important predators in many shallow, tropical and subtropical marine habitats. However, despite being common, they are poorly understood, as many species spend most of their lives sheltering in burrows and holes.
Called "sea locusts" by ancient Assyrians, "prawn killers" in Australia, and now sometimes referred to as "thumb splitters"—because of the animal's ability to inflict painful wounds if handled incautiously—mantis shrimp have powerful raptorial appendages that are used to attack and kill prey either by spearing, stunning, or dismembering. Some mantis shrimp species have specialised calcified 'clubs' that can strike with great power, while others have sharp forelimbs used to seize the prey (hence the term "mantis" in their common name).
Escucha la voz de Dios para dar la bienvenida al regreso del Señor
Dios dice: “Las palabras del Dios encarnado inician una nueva era, guían a toda la humanidad, revelan misterios y le muestran al ser humano la dirección de avance en una nueva era. La iluminación obtenida por el hombre no es sino simple práctica o conocimiento. No puede guiar a toda la humanidad a una nueva era ni revelar el misterio de Dios mismo. Después de todo, Dios es Dios, y el hombre es hombre. Dios tiene la esencia de Dios, y el hombre la del hombre” y “Él está muy consciente de la esencia del hombre; puede poner de manifiesto todas las clases de prácticas que pertenecen a todas las clases de personas. Incluso es mejor en poner de manifiesto el carácter corrupto y el comportamiento rebelde humanos. No vive entre las personas mundanas, pero está consciente de la naturaleza de los mortales y de todas las corrupciones de las personas mundanas. Eso es lo que Él es. Aunque no trata con el mundo, conoce las reglas para tratar con el mundo porque entiende completamente la naturaleza humana. Conoce acerca de la obra del Espíritu que los ojos del hombre no pueden ver y que los oídos del hombre no pueden escuchar, tanto del día de hoy como del pasado. Esto incluye una sabiduría que no es una filosofía de vida y una fascinación que a las personas les es difícil entender. Eso es lo que Él es, abierto a las personas pero también escondido de las personas. Lo que Él expresa no es lo que una persona extraordinaria es, sino los atributos y el ser inherente del Espíritu”.
Extracto de “La Palabra manifestada en carne”
La palabra de Dios nos dice que reconozcamos la voz de Dios de cuatro maneras:
1. Las palabras ser publicado por Dios son todas verdades, pueden ser vidas a las humanas y pueden proporcionar al necesario a las personas, para que las personas tenga el camino a practicar.
2. Todas las palabras de Dios tienen autoridad y poder, y son expresiones de carácter de Dios.
3. Las palabras de Dios pueden revelar los misterios de la obra gestión de Dios.
4. Las palabras ser publicado por Dios pueden revelar la corrupción humana y los pensamientos humanos.
Si pueden escuchar la voz de Dios, está directamente relacionado con si podemos dar la bienvenida al Señor sea llevado al reino celestial.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plover_Cove_Reservoir:
Plover Cove Reservoir, located within Plover Cove Country Park, in the northeastern New Territories, is the largest reservoir in Hong Kong in terms of area, and the second-largest in terms of volume. It is the world's first freshwater coastal lake constructed from an arm of the ocean. Its main dam, which disconnected Plover Cove from the sea, was one of the largest in the world at the time of its construction.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Mun_Tsai:
Sam Mun Tsai (三門仔) is an area and a village in Yim Tin Tsai, Tai Po District, Hong Kong.
Sam Mun Tsai is one of the villages represented within the Tai Po Rural Committee. For electoral purposes, Sam Mun Tsai is part of the Shuen Wan constituency, which was formerly represented by So Tat-leung until October 2021. Sam Mun Tsai New Village or Sam Mun Tsai San Tsuen (三門仔新村) is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.
The fishermen now residing in Sam Mun Tsai New Village used to live on boats at the original Sam Mun Tsai, close to Tai Kau of Luk Heung, now at the northeastern shore of Plover Cove Reservoir. They were relocated to their current residence in 1966, as a result of the construction of the Plover Cove Reservoir. At the time, 36 families were moved to housing on land. Extensive renovation work was conducted at the Sam Mun Tsai Fishermen's Village in 2006-2007.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_Shi_Chau:
Ma Shi Chau (馬屎洲 literally "Horse Dung Island") is an island of Hong Kong, under the administration of Tai Po District. It is located in Tolo Harbour in the northeast New Territories (near Sam Mun Tsai). It is connected with another island, Yim Tin Tsai, by a tombolo traversable at low tide.
It was previously known as No Kot Chai and No Kot Choi (螺角洲).
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Bank_Tower_(Montreal):
The Royal Bank Tower is a skyscraper at 360 Saint-Jacques Street in Montreal, Quebec. The 22-storey 121 m (397 ft) neo-classical tower was designed by the firm of York and Sawyer with the bank's chief architect Sumner Godfrey Davenport of Montreal. Upon completion in 1928, it was the tallest building in the entire British Empire, the tallest structure in all of Canada and the first building in the city that was taller than Montréal's Notre-Dame Basilica built nearly a century before.
The bank's first official head office was at Hollis and George in Halifax in 1879. In 1907 the Royal Bank of Canada moved its head office from Halifax to Montreal. As its original building on Saint-Jacques Street turned out to be too small, in 1926 the board of directors of the biggest bank in Canada hired New York architects York and Sawyer to build a prestigious new building a short distance westward. Between 1920 and 1926 the bank had bought up all the property between Saint-Jacques, Saint-Pierre, Notre-Dame and Dollard Streets to demolish all the buildings there including the old Mechanics' Institute and the ten-storey Bank of Ottawa building in order to make space for the new 22-storey building.
In 1962, the Royal Bank moved its main office to another famous Montreal building, Place Ville-Marie, however kept a branch in the impressive main hall of the old building, situated in Old Montreal. That branch relocated to the nearby Tour de la Bourse in July 2012.

Info from Wikipedia
Percé Rock (French Rocher Percé, "pierced rock") is a huge sheer rock formation in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence on the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec, Canada, off Percé Bay. Percé Rock appears from a distance like a ship under sail. It is one of the world's largest natural arches located in water and is considered a geologically and historically rich natural icon of Quebec. It is a major attraction in the Gaspesie region.
The massive rocky cliff is called by several names, such as le Rocher Percé, Pierced Rock, Pierced Island, Split Rock or Percé Rock. The name is attributed to the pierced rock that formed an arch 15 metres (49 ft) high on its seaward southern end, as though a needle had cut through the rock.It was named Percé ("pierced rock") by Samuel de Champlain in 1607, in reference to the holes he had seen in the massive block of limestone, which over the years has become a major attraction in the region of Quebec.
The Percé Rock, described as "the monstrous giant; pierced through by an immense eye, now green, now gray, now blue or violet, according to the moods of the sea", is linked in legend to a young man of a noble French family.
Another version of the legend, which is also narrated by the local people of Percé town, is that they see the rock in the shape of a "phantom" during storms and hence call it "Le Génie deľisle Percé". This, however, could be interpreted to mean that the vapoury clouds that engulf the "vast flocks of water fowl" could give such an impression when viewed from a distance.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai_Kwun:
Tai Kwun, or the Former Central Police Station Compound (CPS Compound) includes three declared monuments in Central, Hong Kong: the former Central Police Station, the Former Central Magistracy, and the Victoria Prison. Surrounded by Hollywood Road, Arbuthnot Road, Chancery Lane, and Old Bailey Street, the compound underwent a heritage revitalisation and reopened to the public on 29 May 2018[1] as Tai Kwun (Chinese: 大館), a centre for heritage and arts.
The Former Central Police Station Compound (FCPSC), built between 1841 and 1925, comprises 16 historic buildings grouped under the former Central Police Station, the Former Central Magistracy, and the Victoria Prison. Most of the city's historic colonial architecture had been bulldozed for development before the British government handed it back to China in 1997.
The first building in the FCPSC is the Magistrate's House, with jail blocks, which were built in 1841. In 1899, the former Central Prison was renamed to Victoria Prison (or Victoria Gaol). The site underwent numerous expansions and reconstruction over the next century. In 1862, the number of prisoners increased to 650, and the government decided to develop the land nearby. The series of compounds hence formed Tai Kwun. Victoria Prison was decommissioned in 2006.
In 2008, the government of Hong Kong partnered with the Hong Kong Jockey Club to conserve and revitalise the complex, which turned into one of the most significant and expensive revitalisation projects in the territory, costing HK$1.8 billion; work began in 2011.
The conversion was completed in phases. Work faced a setback when a wall and roof collapsed in 2016. The Buildings Department prosecuted a subcontractor it deemed responsible for the accident, which was reportedly triggered by the failure of a brick pier that had been structurally undermined. Tai Kwun partially reopened to the public in May 2018.
A Former Central Police Station (CPS) Revitalisation Project was established to conserve and revitalise the heritage site for reuse. The project was operated by the Hong Kong Jockey Club and took eight years and HK$3.8 billion or about US$480M in 2018.
Tai Kwun, named after the historical colloquial name of the compound, is a mix of heritage and contemporary architecture. 16 heritage buildings have been restored for reuse. An additional two new buildings have been constructed, featuring designs inspired by the site's historic brickwork.
As early as the 1880s, the name Tai Kwun has been recorded in news articles in reference to the Former Central Police Station.
In 2018, Time listed Tai Kwun in its "World's Greatest Places 2018" list.
In 2019, Tai Kwun was awarded "Award of Excellence" from the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation.
Excerpt from historicbridges.org:
The Caledonia Bridge is one of the most significant and impressive bridges in Canada. The bridge is recognized as the longest rainbow arch bridge in Ontario. It may be the longest bridge of its type in all of Canada, thanks to its unparalleled number of spans. Rainbow arch bridges are often also called bowstring through arch bridges. The bridge's structural material is reinforced concrete. The spans of this bridge are large, compared to many other rainbow arch bridges in Ontario, and they tower over the average sized car. In addition to their height, the Caledonia Bridge is equally impressive in terms of its quantity of spans, and its total length, which make this an impressive and graceful structure without compare. The bridge also is unaltered from its original design and thus has good historic integrity. It is a key landmark for Caledonia and this heritage bridge should receive the highest preservation priority.
The site of the current Caledonia Bridge has a long history of being the location of an impressive and noteworthy bridge. In fact, the existing bridge replaced a bridge which was a large, six example of a Whipple Arch truss that was built in 1875. Each of those spans was 105 feet (32 Meters) in length. A large brick toll-keepers residence was also built near the north end of this bridge. This toll house remains in place today. At least one portion of this 1875 bridge collapsed due to overloading by a truck in 1925, prompting an interest in seeking construction of a new bridge which would lead to construction of the existing rainbow arch. This bridge was built in 1927 by Randolph MacDonald Company of Toronto, Ontario. The engineer for the structure was A. B. Crealock from Ontario Department of Public Highways.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changdeokgung:
Behind the palace lies the 78-acre (32 ha) Huwon (後苑, Rear garden) which was originally constructed for the use of the royal family and palace women. The garden incorporates a lotus pond, pavilions, and landscaped lawns, trees, and flowers. There are over 26,000 specimens of a hundred different species of trees in the garden and some of the trees behind the palace are over 300 years old. The garden for the private use of the king had been called 'Geumwon' (禁苑, Forbidden garden) because even high officials were not allowed to enter without the king's permission. It had also been called 'Naewon' (內苑, 'Inner garden'). Today Koreans often call it 'Biwon' (秘院, Secret garden) which derived from the office of same name in the late 19th century. Though the garden had many other names, the one most frequently used through Joseon dynasty period was 'Huwon'.
In September 2012, the Buyongjeong pavilion in the garden was re-opened after a year-long restoration project. The pavilion was restored based on the Donggwoldo from 1820, National Treasures of South Korea No. 249.
A variety of ceremonies hosted by the king were held in Huwon. In the early period of the Joseon dynasty, military inspections in which the king participated were often held here. King Sejo had troops parade and array before him or commanded them by himself in the garden. In addition, feasts were given, archery tournaments held, and fireworks enjoyed in Huwon.
The Ongnyucheon (玉流川, "Jade Stream") area is of particular interest. It contains a U-shaped water channel carved in 1636 for floating wine cups, with a small waterfall and an inscribed poem on the boulder above it. The area also contains five small pavilions.
