The main idea of such gardens is to collect and display beautiful natural landscapes in a confined space.
New York City Scholar's Garden is one of two authentic classic Chinese outdoor gardens built in the United States.
On the Snug Harbor Botanical Garden premises, a classic Chinese outdoor garden appeared, made in the style of the gardens of the Ming dynasty, which ruled in China in the XIV-XVII centuries.
This garden's architectural components were made and imported from Suzhou, China, including roof tiles, columns, beams, doors and windows, bridges, and floor and walkway paving materials.
Every year, the Tesselaar family, famous for their tulips, host two flower festivals at their show garden premises in Silvan in the Dandenong Ranges on the outskirts of Melbourne. They began many years ago with their Tulip Festival in spring, which attracts visitors locally, from interstate and internationally. However in the last few years, the Tesselaar family have started hosting an autumn festival too, called “Ka-Bloom”. The Ka-Bloom festival sees the gardens filled with colour from mass plantings of snapdragons, marigolds, salvias and dahlias.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 9th of June is "a single white flower". Of course I could have submitted one of the many white roses shots I have (white roses are my favourite flower), however when the theme was announced, I remembered the photograph I had taken of a perfect white dahlia bloom in the gardens of the Tesselaar Ka-Bloom festival, just a short while ago, in April this year. This bloom is what I settled on. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.

In the early days Veere was a flourishing commercial city. This prosperity can be found in the beautiful historical premises. The town of Veere arose in the twelfth century. The following centuries the town was being used to store Scottish wool. Veere still has these typical Scottish homes, which were built in the sixteenth century by rich Scottish merchants. At the Kaai in Veere, two of these Scottish houses still stand, and they remind people of the wool trade back in those days. Antique collections of the last private owners are among the things which can be admired here. Also fans of porcelain, furniture, style rooms and stitch costumes have much to look at. In the Scottish houses you can regularly go to see different expositions of the artists from Veere.

The big church is from 1348 and it is a really great sight. As from 1811 the church was being used by Napoleon’s soldiers as a military hospital; the church was a beggars house and a barrack for a while as well. You can still clearly see the traces of an eventful past.

Normally, I don't let Rooster out until I know Mama moose has left the premises but she came back so it was a surprise that her and Rooster met up. Now, If any of you wonder what would happen if you encounter any wildlife on the trail how your dog would react....well, they bring them back to you. That's right, Mama moose came galloping right past me down my driveway. She doesn't perceive me as a threat so I was safe. Imagine if that was a bear? Something I learned from this picture is when a moose is perturbed their ears go comically sideways. She has never showed me that facial expression.
Of course, Rooster thinks it is all a game, just another horse on the property.
As a side note, sadly Rooster got ran over by a truck just outside my ranch gate by a passerby going about 80, he was rushed to the Dog ER on Sunday. He suffered a pulmonary contusion so he is on bed rest and as you can imagine not happy about it now that he is on the mend. All a very traumatic ordeal, I will forever be haunted by his cry as he got run over. Hope he has learned his lesson about cars as I never had a dog that didn't respect motorized vehicles. Had I known, I wouldn't have rescued him, there is only one ending, but apparently Rooster has a guardian angel. BTW- ER Vets think you shit out money, just saying. $1600 a night. This dog is going to give me a heart attack yet. Where is my beloved Sadie Dawg when I need her? Heavy sigh....
A photo taken inside the premises of Yamada Ryokan.
Honkan (本館, main building) in the right was built during the Edo period before Meiji Restoration in 1868, Kura (蔵, treasury) in the left was built in 1885, and the buildings in the back in 1914,
The main building was originally built for Touji (湯治), a traditional form of tourism for therapeutic bathing to improve health and/or to cure disease and injury. Guests cooked foods for themselves and stayed for weeks at the spa. Therefore a communal self-catering kitchen is still attached to the establishment.
Touji had been a popular leisure activity rivalling pilgrimage before modern tourism was introduced after Meiji Restoration.

The Make and Brake Engine on display at the Ryan Premises National Historic Site located in the Town of Bonavista on the Bonavista Peninsula in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
Make and break inboard motors were among the first technological advances to help revolutionize fishing in Newfoundland and Labrador. They allowed fishermen to save their strength for fishing, not wasting it on paddling or hauling sails as they had done before. Most often installed in trap skiffs, the hull was first cut away to accommodate water intake and output, which helped cool the engine. The large motor was then bolted to the inside of the boat, usually in a motor house, with the propeller advancing through the stern, driving the vessel forward. These dependable, sturdy, single cylinder, gasoline engines have been called many names, and while make and break is the most common, putt-putt engine, one-lungers,or pik-a-puk, are all used to describe the same type of engine.

Ryan Premises National Historic Site located in the Town of Bonavista on the Bonavista Peninsula in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
The Ryan Premises is a National Historic Site of Canada located in the town of Bonavista, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is preserved as an example of a large-scale merchant operation in a Newfoundland outport.
The site consists of the proprietor's house, a carriage shed, a retail shop, a retail store, a fish store and a salt store. The staff house, adjacent to but not part of the historical site, is a Registered Heritage Structure. Earlier, the premises also included a larger salt store, a cooperage, a powder magazine, a telegraph office, wharves, fish flakes, a lumber yard and a shipyard.

The building in the right is called Nagaya (長屋) that is an Edo period construction. The building in the centre is Yudono (湯殿) that houses a hotspring bath, and the three -story building is called Shinkan (新館, new wing) for guest rooms although it is old enough. The two were constructed in 1914 during the Taishou era (大正時代 1907-1926). These three architectures are listed as Registered Tangible Cultural Heritage.
They are traditional structures supported by wooden pillars and beams, which allow installing plenty of glass windows.
In my opinion, this is architecturally the best part of the Japanese inn.
The building behind Shinkan is Bekkan (別館, annex) that is a reinforced concrete structure built in late 20th century. It may be comfortable to stay but is less attractive for photo shooting.

Great Blue Heron x Great Egret Hybrid at Fort De Soto Park, St. Petersburg, Florida, USA.
I was photographing this bird hunting for fish in the water and a park ranger came along in his cart and inadvertently flushed the hybrid. It hovered in the air for a moment not really wanting to vacate the premises. It soon landed and resumed fishing.
The Great Blue Heron x Great Egret hybrid was first found and photographed in July 2016 by a few individuals and photos of the bird were sent to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. They agreed that this was a cross between a 5 pound Great Blue Heron and a 2 pound Great Egret.

Wikipedia: Royal Tunbridge Wells is a town in Kent, England, 30 miles (50 km) southeast of central London. The town was a spa in the Restoration and a fashionable resort in the mid-1700s under Beau Nash when the Pantiles, and its chalybeate spring, attracted visitors who wished to take the waters. Though its popularity as a spa town waned with the advent of sea bathing, the town still derives much of its income from tourism

Excerpt from thun.ch:
Burghers’ House was built in 1775 as residence/business premises for Johannes Deci. It was Burghers’ municipality headquarters since 1918. It was restored in 2009.
The house was first mentioned in 1406 as the house of Heinrich von Velschen. It was home of the Thorberg Carthusians from 1464 to 1528. Formerly tannery, and later became a restaurant. It was restored in 2005.
Fondée en 1146 dans la vallée de la Thyle par Bernard de Clairvaux, cette abbaye était l'une des premières filles de l'abbaye de Clairvaux. Elle fut très tôt protégée par les ducs de Brabant et ainsi rapidement féconde. Le XIIIe siècle marque son apogée. Entre les XIVe et XVIIe siècles, l'abbaye a connu une succession de périodes calmes et troublées, durant lesquelles les moines ont quitté les lieux à neuf reprises pour raisons d'insécurité. Au XVIIIe siècle, l'abbaye a connu son second âge d'or, marqué par une grande ébullition architecturale. Après la Révolution française, la communauté monastique a dû se disperser, puis l'abbaye fut vendue comme bien national.
Dès lors, aux XIXe et XXe siècles, le site a connu dégradations et restaurations. L'ancienne abbaye de Villers est devenue un lieu de visite romantique et pittoresque, mais bien que devenu touristique, le site se dégradait. L'État belge a donc procédé à l'expropriation des lieux en 1892 pour y entamer un important chantier de restauration.
Les ruines appartiennent désormais à la Région wallonne, relevant du patrimoine majeur de Wallonie. La gestion du site est confiée à une association sans but lucratif, laquelle organise depuis 1987 des représentations théâtrales, des expositions et autres manifestations.
Founded in 1146 in the valley of the Thyle by Bernard de Clairvaux, this abbey was one of the first daughters of the abbey of Clairvaux. It was very early protected by the Dukes of Brabant and thus quickly fertile. The 13th century marks its peak. Between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries, the abbey experienced a succession of calm and troubled periods, during which the monks left the premises nine times for reasons of insecurity. In the 18th century, the abbey experienced its second golden age, marked by great architectural turmoil. After the French Revolution, the monastic community had to disperse, then the abbey was sold as national property.
From then on, in the 19th and 20th centuries, the site suffered damage and restoration. The old abbey of Villers has become a romantic and picturesque place to visit, but although it has become touristy, the site is deteriorating. The Belgian State therefore expropriated the premises in 1892 to begin a major restoration project.
The ruins now belong to the Walloon Region, belonging to the major heritage of Wallonia. The management of the site is entrusted to a non-profit association, which has been organizing theatrical performances, exhibitions and other events since 1987.

(5/5) Premises by premises, public space by public space, inch by inch we hand over our belongings, our ownership to be treated back to safety and security. We trusted to be treated the way we should. We are trading our lives now. When our quarantines are broken, permissions issued, it is the system that is ready to 'treat' us, us and our diseases, us and our corpses, us and our insurances. Pegs return to stations, ready to turn and let turn.
Interestingly, an equality comes with this disease. We all have to line up to get inside the supermarket to get toilet paper or bleach. We all have to buy the unpopular pasta brand now. We all have to report to the young admission desk clerk to walk into the clinic. It is all military and we must be grateful. We certainly don't want to die like those people who are not as fortunate as we are.
What we treasure more, some consciously and some not, is the untouchable world inside, the ocean of consciousness, the land of the truly free. We hide in it, take refuge in it, treasure it.
With the question of how are you doing these days, we take our defenses up. What? Now you need to know what goes inside? "I'm all right. It's a small price to pay."
The fact is it is a huge price to pay. Here in America being was limited by confusion due to an abundance of options and now we are limited by our inabilities or even worse by lack of permissions. We lost permissions and those who do not want it, have to learn how to live without.
Old confusions due to a plethora of options are gone. Old choices are gone, old options, old confusions. We are limited by lacks, lack of permissions.
Now confusion belongs to those who push the limits without permissions or beyond permissions. Confusion belongs to those trying to separate themselves from collective security that government aparatus promises with no guarantee.
Located at the corner of O’Connell Street and Abbey Street, the Grand Central Café Bar is located in a genuinely grand central site, but doesn’t have a long history. It links what were two premises, 10 and 11 O’Connell Street, which have been a single building since the Munster and Leinster Bank acquired No 11 in 1926. No 11 was rebuilt by Benjamin Ball in 1824.
The buildings were extensively damaged in the Easter Rising of 1916, primarily by a shell from HMS Helga. No 10 was refurbished as a result in 1917.
The buildings played an interesting rôle during the Easter Rising. They housed at that time the Irish School of Wireless Telegraphy. With all telephone lines in and out of the city cut by the British authorities, on the second day of the Rising, 25 April 1916, the rebels sent the following message in Morse code thanks to one of their number, David Bourke, who was proficient in the art of telegraphy: “Irish Republic declared in Dublin today. Irish troops have captured city and are in full possession. Enemy cannot move in city. The whole country rising.”
Ships did receive the message and relayed it to the international press, although three days later the Rising would be crushed.

The Ponte Vecchio "Old Bridge", is a Medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewellers, art dealers and souvenir sellers.
The bridge spans the Arno at its narrowest point where it is believed that a bridge was first built in Roman times, when the via Cassia crossed the river at this point. The Roman piers were of stone, the superstructure of wood. The bridge first appears in a document of 996. After being destroyed by a flood in 1117 it was reconstructed in stone but swept away again in 1333 save two of its central piers. It was rebuilt in 1345, Giorgio Vasari recorded the tradition in his day, that attributed its design to Taddeo Gaddi, besides Giotto one of the few artistic names of the trecento still recalled two hundred years later. Modern historians present Neri di Fioravanti as a possible candidate. Sheltered in a little loggia at the central opening of the bridge is a weathered dedication stone, which once read Nel trentatrè dopo il mille-trecento, il ponte cadde, per diluvio dell' acque: poi dieci anni, come al Comun piacque, rifatto fu con questo adornamento. The Torre dei Mannelli was built at the southeast corner of the bridge to defend it.
The bridge consists of three segmental arches: the main arch has a span of 30 meters the two side arches each span 27 meters . The rise of the arches is between 3.5 and 4.4 meters, and the span-to-rise ratio 5:1.
It has always hosted shops and merchants who displayed their goods on tables before their premises, after authorization of the Bargello (a sort of a lord mayor, a magistrate and a police authority). The back shops that may be seen from upriver, were added in the seventeenth century.
During World War II, the Ponte Vecchio was not destroyed by Germans during their retreat on the advance of the liberating British 8th Army on August 4, 1944, unlike all other bridges in Florence. This was allegedly, according to many locals and tour guides, because of an express order by Hitler. Access to Ponte Vecchio was, however, obstructed by the destruction of the buildings at both ends, which have since been rebuilt using a combination of original and modern design.
Shot around a temple premises in the middle of a forest. The temple rituals involve sacrifices of goats which are then cooked into a meal and distributed to the poor as free food. This happens once a week and the leftover blood attracts several flycatchers.
The Taiga flycatcher is a small flycatcher from Palearctic region that winters in India. They are not easy to sight and harder to id since the Red-Breasted Flycatcher looks very similar except for a few minor differences (like feet color, beak and tail colors). We sighted 2-3 of them and they were quite wary of some monkeys nearby. Monkeys tend to grab birds for food and hence birds fly away quickly.

The Janikosoda soda production plant was established in the 1950s in the then-village of Janikowo. The population of Janikowo skyrocketed directly afterwise to accommodate for the needed workforce in the new facility. With many ups and downs in its history, the plant retained its very Soviet feel. It was positioned on the fields near the town and stood out of the rural background of Kujawy.
Sadly, with increasing competition from Turkey and ever-rising EU taxes on industry, the company Qemetica, previously Ciech, which owns the soda factory in Janikowo is forced to shut down production. The process has been ongoing since february of this year, when there was a week long stop in production of soda in the facility. The entire production is to be shut down... tommorow, with the end of July 2025.
In May, we made a spontaneous visit near the factory, and by sheer accident managed to photograph SM42-2369 right as it was shunting with a couple of wagons near the factory premises. The loco was produced in 1976 and was assigned to the soda plant since then. After the company Transoda organised all soda transport in Poland, the locomotive kept being shifted between the different plants. Ultimately, its home factory ends its career but the loco persists.

Bank of England, Manchester Branch (centre image, ground level)
The cotton industry was a major source of business for local banks and merchants around the start of the 19th century. Manchester’s importance as a commercial centre was recognised when the Bank of England established a branch in the town in 1826. Some 20 years later it moved into a suitably imposing new building, designed by one of the country’s leading architects, Charles Cockerell. The location was Upper King Street, almost directly opposite the old town hall. Manchester’s importance as a financial centre was further consolidated in 1836 when the Manchester Stock Exchange was opened in Exchange Street, in part to deal in the shares of the local joint-stock banking companies.
Cockerell’s Bank of England branch building (shown above) survives in King Street but it is no longer home to the bank, the latter having moved into new premises located at the junction of Portland Street and Charlotte Street in 1971.

When visiting an interesting museum, it's all about the external impact, the premises, the artworks, and the visitors.
When you visit a building designed by Richard Meier, you expect white, glass, lots of transparency and brightness, and above all, total aesthetics.

This present Northgate Brewery is a tower brewery opened in 1885.
Wadworth is a brewery company founded in 1875 in Devizes, Wiltshire, England, best known for their 6X beer brand.
Wadworth & Co. was founded in 1875 when Henry Wadworth purchased the Northgate Brewery in Devizes. It was not long before they exceeded their capacity at the Northgate Brewery and in 1885 they moved premises to a new facility close to their original site. Since then, the brewer has been a major influence on the economy of Devizes and a major provider of ale in the south of England.
Wadworths still use traditional shire horses to deliver their casked ale to local pubs in Devizes. Their radius of the operation is roughly 8 km; beyond this, motor vehicles are used. The ale can be delivered in metal or wooden barrels.
The brewery owns four horses (Monty, Max and Archie and Sam) which are stabled at the brewery. As well as delivering ale, the horses compete in shows and events throughout the country. They are often featured in the local press and have featured in television programmes such as Countryfile.
Wadworth operate a Visitor Centre and gift shop at the brewery. Tours of the brewery can be taken and may include a tutored tasting of the Wadworth range and visits to the shire horses and sign-writing shop.
