Metelkova is one of the weirdest places to see in Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital. Formerly, the site was the Slovenian headquarter of the Yugoslav National Army. The buildings have been squatted since September 1993 in a declared illegal way, mainly by artists, activists and young students. In 2005, Metelkova was declared a national cultural heritage site and the European Cultural Fund attributes financial support. If you like graffiti, weird art, and quirky sculptures then this is the place to head to.

Note: This is my all time fav pic :D I hope you guys like it as much as I do.
Situé au confluent de la Molignée et du Flavion, le château de Montaigle se dresse fièrement sur un éperon rocheux escarpé. Bâtie sur une construction plus ancienne, la forteresse médiévale fut édifiée au début du 14ème siècle.
Le site connaît dès le Bas Empire, une première fortification gallo-romaine de type éperon barré. Nous sommes alors au IIIe siècle. Une seconde modification architecturale a lieu vers le IXe siècle. On agrandit encore vers le XIIe siècle. Enfin, le XIVe siècle voit la dernière phase de modification du château telle qu'on peut encore le voir aujourd'hui. Les murailles sont, entre autres choses, renforcées par l'intérieur.
Autrefois siège d’un bailliage, le château fort, dont la dernière phase de construction remonte au début du XIVe siècle, a été détruit sur ordre de Henri II de France en juillet 1554 par le Duc de Bourgogne, François Ier de Nevers. Ayant déjà rasé la ville de Dinant au mois de mai 1554, les habitants du château avaient fuis vers Namur pour chercher la protection de Charles Quint. Il y a donc fort à parier que le Duc n'ait rencontré aucune résistance.
Ayant perdu tout intérêt stratégique, le château ne fut jamais reconstruit après la destruction de 1554. Il fut longtemps laissé à l'abandon au gré des vents et autres corbeaux jusqu'à ce qu'une association le repris en main au XXe siècle. Le château est propriété de la famille del Marmol depuis 1865.
Located at the confluence of the Molignée and the Flavion, the Château de Montaigle stands proudly on a steep rocky spur. Built on an older construction, the medieval fortress was built at the beginning of the 14th century.
Since the Lower Empire, the site has seen a first Gallo-Roman fortification of the barred spur type. We are then in the 3rd century. A second architectural modification took place around the 9th century. It was further enlarged around the 12th century. Finally, the 14th century saw the last phase of modification of the castle as we can still see it today. The walls are, among other things, reinforced from the inside.
Formerly the seat of a bailiwick, the fortified castle, whose last phase of construction dates back to the beginning of the 14th century, was destroyed on the orders of Henry II of France in July 1554 by the Duke of Burgundy, François I of Nevers. Having already razed the town of Dinant in May 1554, the inhabitants of the castle had fled to Namur to seek the protection of Charles V. It is therefore a safe bet that the Duke encountered no resistance.
Having lost all strategic interest, the castle was never rebuilt after the destruction of 1554. It was left abandoned for a long time to the winds and other crows until an association took it over in the 20th century. The castle has been owned by the del Marmol family since 1865.

The Claddagh (Irish: an Cladach, meaning "the shore") is an area close to the centre of Galway city, where the River Corrib meets Galway Bay. It was formerly a fishing village, just outside the old city walls. It is close to the Spanish Arch, which was the location of regular fish markets where the locals supplied the city with seafood as recently as the end of the 19th century. People have been gathering seafood and fishing from the area for millennia. It is one of the oldest former fishing villages in Ireland. During the 19th century the Claddagh attracted many visitors, including writers who spread its fame. The original village of thatched cottages was razed in the 1930s and replaced by a council-housing scheme. The Claddagh is most famous internationally for the Claddagh ring, which is popular among the people of Galway and further afield as both a friendship and wedding ring. This traditional design consists of two clasped hands holding a crowned heart, and symbolises love, friendship and loyalty.

MAINFRAME EVENT JANUARY 2022 RELEASE
Open Date: January 20th, 2022
I posted a shot of this abandoned farmhouse back on January 20th. Here it is being razed to make way for another industrial park. It's particularly sad since it wasn't a ruin and had been sealed up well since it was abandoned. Unlike many of the farmhouses I photograph this one could have been saved. Built in 1840 it was one of the few houses left from a town that no longer exists.
This necklace is made up entirely of 1920s glass bugle beads that were made in Toruń in northern Poland (then Pomerania). There are some unique shapes, and being made of glass, they are very heavy.
However, what is remarkable about these beyond their amazing and unusual looks, is their equally amazing and unusual history.
Between 1923 and 1939, these beads and millions like them were produced from a very successful workshop on the outskirts of Toruń and sent to fashion houses both locally and in cities like Prague, Vienna and Paris. Then, with the coming of Hitler's invasion of Poland and the Second World War, the owners of the workshop closed their doors. They took the beads they had in the workshop and buried them in boxes in the ground beneath the floor of the workshop and then fled, hoping to return to reclaim them some day. And so the beads remained buried beneath the flagstones throughout the Second World War when the workshop was razed, and beyond during the re-building of post-war Poland. Although still in possession of the land on which the workshop had stood, the owners and their descendants never returned to Toruń to claim them, and the beads became a thing of legend. Nearly seventy years later, descendants of the original owners returned to Toruń to live, and decided to see if there was any truth to the stories of 'buried treasure'. Much to their astonishment and delight, what they uncovered beneath the flagstones were thirty great boxes, still well preserved in the earth, of 1920s and 1930s glass bugle beads!
The beads were split up amongst a few relations, including friends of mine who are artists. Knowing how much I love vintage clothing, beads and the 1920s, they made me a gift of three stunning necklaces made from the bugle beads in the ten boxes they inherited. This is the 'Naszyjnik Różany' or 'Rose Necklace'.
The theme for "Looking Close… on Friday" is "beads", so I thought this necklace of buried treasure was a suitable choice.

According to Pliny the Elder in his Natural History, the first known name of a settlement on the site of Constantinople was Lygos, a settlement likely of Thracian origin founded between the 13th and 11th centuries BC.
The site, according to the founding myth of the city, was abandoned by the time Greek settlers from the city-state of Megara founded Byzantium in around 657 BC, across from the town of Chalcedon on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus.
The city was briefly renamed Augusta Antonina in the early 3rd century AD by the Emperor Septimius Severus (193–211), who razed the city to the ground in 196 for supporting a rival contender in the civil war and had it rebuilt in honor of his son Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (who succeeded him as Emperor), popularly known as Caracalla.
Constantinople became the capital of the Roman Empire during the reign of Constantine the Great in 330.
Following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the late 5th century, Constantinople remained the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire (also known as the Byzantine Empire; 330–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922).
Following the Turkish War of Independence, the Turkish capital then moved to Ankara.
Officially renamed Istanbul in 1930, the city is today the largest city in Europe, straddling the Bosporus strait and lying in both Europe and Asia, and the financial center of Turkey. (Source: Wikipedia)

(De mis propias fotos digitales archivadas, 2008)
Según Plinio el Viejo en su Historia natural, el primer nombre conocido de un asentamiento en el lugar de Constantinopla fue Lygos, un asentamiento probablemente de origen tracio fundado entre los siglos XIII y XI a. C.
El sitio, según el mito fundacional de la ciudad, fue abandonado cuando los colonos griegos de la ciudad-estado de Megara fundaron Bizancio alrededor del 657 a. C., frente a la ciudad de Calcedonia en el lado asiático del Bósforo.
La ciudad fue rebautizada brevemente como Augusta Antonina a principios del siglo III d. C. por el emperador Septimio Severo (193-211), quien arrasó la ciudad en 196 por apoyar a un contendiente rival en la guerra civil y la hizo reconstruir en honor a su hijo Marco Aurelio Antonino (que lo sucedió como emperador), conocido popularmente como Caracalla.
Constantinopla se convirtió en la capital del Imperio Romano durante el reinado de Constantino el Grande en el año 330.
Tras el colapso del Imperio Romano de Occidente a finales del siglo V, Constantinopla siguió siendo la capital del Imperio Romano de Oriente (también conocido como Imperio Bizantino; 330-1204 y 1261-1453), el Imperio Latino (1204-1261) y el Imperio Otomano (1453-1922).
Tras la Guerra de Independencia Turca, la capital turca se trasladó a Ankara.
Rebautizada oficialmente como Estambul en 1930, la ciudad es hoy la más grande de Europa, a caballo entre el estrecho del Bósforo y situada tanto en Europa como en Asia, y es el centro financiero de Turquía. (Fuente: Wikipedia)
Union Pacific SD70M 2002 was cutting Elmhurst in half as it headed for Global III in Rochelle with a I-G2G2 shuttle. In the background, time has stopped at 0726 or so as the building the clock is attached to is being razed to build a bunch of condos that nobody can afford.
Time was also up for the Olympic SD70Ms being captive on the I-G2G2 shuttle. In a few days after this photo was made, they were whisked away on a westbound intermodal.

The Security Building is a historic site in downtown Miami, Florida. It is located at 117 Northeast 1st Avenue. On January 4, 1989, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The building has 16 floors with a height of 225 feet (69 m) and was built from 1926 to 1927.
The Dade County Security Company was organized in 1901 and moved to a nearby headquarters in 1923. By the mid-1920s the company needed a larger headquarters. In 1921, the Dade County Security Company had acquired the McKinnon Hotel which occupied a mid-block parcel on Northeast 1st Avenue and renamed it the Security Hotel. Dade Security had considered adding stories atop the hotel but opted in 1925 to raze the hotel and construct a new headquarters on the same site under the direction of architect Robert Greenfield.
Construction on the Security Building began in 1926. The building was known as the Security Building from its opening in 1927 until 1945. Upon opening, the first level and mezzanine were devoted to banking offices. The floors above provided 275 office suites and were reached by four "high speed" elevators.
The Security Building faces west onto NE 1st Avenue. It is located in mid-block with buildings on either side. Those buildings are considerably shorter than the Security Building. The building maintains a zero-foot (0 m) setback, and the entry doors open directly onto the sidewalk. There are no landscape features on the property. The building is composed of a main block parallel to the street, and a second block connected perpendicularly that extends to the east.
With only a 50-foot (15 m) frontage, the architect made a grand statement by creating an almost temple-like base, consisting of the first three stories. Engaged pilasters, that also frame the center bay, articulate the corners creating three distinct bays. Spandrels between the floors are bronze and feature relief ornament. The pilasters carry the entablature, with the name “Security Building” in incised letters. A dentilled molding ornaments the cornice that terminates this division of the building.
The fourth floor begins the transition to the high-rise portion of the building. Stone panels with a similar relief accent the corners and separate the bays. Above the windows of the fourth floor is another projecting element, a stringcourse that is ornamented with a guilloche pattern in relief.
Floors five through 13 continue the three bays with window arrangements that are grouped in pairs on each of the end bays, and are grouped in three in the center bay, emphasizing the importance of the center bay to the entire composition. The windows are a metal casement type.
Security Building (Miami) South and West Facades, top floors with mansard roof and cupola.
The 14th and 15th floors function as the base for the great mansard roof, which terminates the building. To balance the composition, the two floors are treated as if they were one by the use of a round arch at the 15th floor that is carried by the pilasters of the 14th floor, so that the two floors are visually united.
A bracketed cornice separates the building from the roof form that is so decidedly different from roof treatments in Miami during this period. A mansard roof is a double-pitched roof with a steep upper slope. The mansard roof was named for architect Francois Mansart (1598–1666). Mansart worked in the 17th century and introduced the roof form that extended attic space to provide additional usable area. The mansard roof is a character-defining feature of the Second Empire style that was named after Napoleon III, who took on major building projects in Paris during the 18th century.
The mansard roof of the Security Building is clad in copper and terminates in a series of antefixae. A series of arches containing windows and serving as dormers penetrates the roof. Bull's-eye windows are placed between the arched windows. An eight-sided cupola that extends from the center of the roof is fenestrated on each side with a multi-paned arched window. The dome of the cupola also is clad in copper.
The north and south ends of the building are not ornamented. The windows are a metal casement type. The quoining on the corners of the west elevation is repeated in the north and south elevations of the building. The extension to the east is flat-roofed and is terminated by a defined cornice. The majority of the wall surface contains windows that are either square or rectangular in shape. They contain metal casement windows.

Name: Madame Raze, full name unknown
Age: Presumably late 50s to early 60s
Aliases: Madame Raze, Madame/Madam R, Boss Lady, the Head,
Nationality: British, naturalised American
Profile: The woman who would become Madame Raze was born into a sosphicated and wealthy aristocrat family in Newcastle upon Tyne. Being born privileged, she received the highest forms of education, and soon decided to pursue a life of her own. Around 30, she was one of the world’s wealthiest billionaires, while deciding to join her mother’s secret agency—-as part of her training when she was much younger and her dedication to the cause (the organisation Raze’s mother formed is very much independent). Eventually, she worked up her way and eventually became the highest ranking member, which was also the same time that her mother eventually passed away from cancer.
Not much is known about Raze’s life, despite a bit of her introduction and family background, though there could be a lot more secrets—Raze is a extremely vague, cryptic and mysterious person who seems to be good at hiding lots of things. It is rumoured that she is actually the true founder of the company—that it was an elaborate plot and lie, she had killed her mother beforehand, and beneath it the agency is actually evil. (Rumoured theory/story, still unconfirmed.)
Powers and abilities: Raze is a highly intelligent woman since birth, and one of the most sosphicated minds on earth. This is her only confirmed power—intelligence, though it is possible that she hides the fact being a telepath and with lots of mind powers (unconfirmed as well)
As the head of the agency, she keeps it running and managing it daily, and has eyes and ears everywhere. Money aside, she has the most protective bodyguards and aides, with a snap they could immediately appear and protect her. Raze is also highly intelligible in almost everything.
Equipment: Raze possesses a suit of armour (coloured blue) and has her own set of protective clothing that she wears beneath it. It can generate energy blasts and can adapt and redirect powers back. She is also virtually rich, and has access to a lot of technology, equipment, housing and etc.
Personality: Usually seen as cold, emotionless, enigmatic and humourless, with people describing able to send shivers down their spines in the room.
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, is also known as The Guitar Hotel due to its tower constructed to resemble a guitar, is a hotel and casino resort in Hollywood, Florida, United States, located on 100 acres (40 ha) of the Hollywood Reservation of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The property currently has one hotel tower, a 140,000 sq ft (13,000 m2) casino, a large poker room, a 4-acre (1.6 ha) lagoon-style pool facility with a center bar, and many private restaurants, shops, spa, cabanas, bars, and nightclubs, and the Hard Rock Event Center. A large expansion was completed in October 2019.
The resort currently has a 12-story "classic Hard Rock Hotel" with 469 guest rooms and suites. Guests are greeted by a 50-foot (15 m) tall signature Hard Rock guitar, (based on a famous Gibson electric guitar model) at the entrance of the hotel, along with a massive LED advertising screen at the front of the main parking garage. The resort has 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2) of meeting space, including a 38,000-square-foot (3,500 m2) exhibit hall.
The Hard Rock's $1.5 billion property expansion project added a 450-foot (140 m) tower designed to appear as a guitar, with lights providing the imagery of guitar strings, and 638 rooms alongside a seven-story, 168-room "Oasis Tower" overlooking the pool cabanas— open on October 24, 2019, several months in advance of Super Bowl LIV being held in Miami on February 2, 2020. The expansion also included a 42,000-square-foot (3,900 m2) "Rock Spa", and over 20 new dining and nightlife destinations. Between the existing 12-story hotel, new Guitar Hotel, and new Oasis Tower, over 1,200 hotel rooms became available in October 2019.
On May 9, 2014, Seminole Chief Jim Billie announced a $100 million upgrade of the tribe's casinos, with much of that spent on the Hard Rock Hollywood location, including improved entryways, center pool bar, pool facility upgrades, updated hotel room, and suite interiors, and a new restaurant. As of March 2019, the tribe's upgrade budget was significantly increased to over $2.4 billion, split mainly between this location and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tampa.
The current casino layout covers over 140,000 sq ft (13,000 m2) featuring slot machines and various table games including blackjack, baccarat, mini-baccarat, Pai Gow poker, Let It Ride, and three-card poker. The casino does not have live craps and roulette, although there are electronic versions of those games available. As of June 2018, the poker room is located in a former ballroom area, relocated from its prior venue due to ongoing construction work.
Blackjack is the most popular card game in the United States and was an addition to the casino. In a deal valued at $1.1 billion, former Governor Charlie Crist gave the Seminole Tribe a license for blackjack in its casinos. In exchange, The Seminole Tribe loaned the State of Florida $1.1 billion over the course of two years. On July 3, 2008, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that the governor's agreement was unconstitutional, but table games continue to operate because the Federal Department of the Interior approved the now-invalid pact with the state. The addition of blackjack to the Hard Rock casinos in Hollywood and Tampa gave credibility to its claim of being a major gambling destination.[
Hard Rock Live is a 7,000 seat multi-purpose theater, which opened on October 25, 2019, with a concert by Maroon 5. The theater replaced a 5,500 seat arena (razed in March 2018 as part of the property-wide expansion) of the same name, which hosted different types of events including musical acts, comedians, boxing, and other smaller events, along with a residency by Billy Joel. During construction of the new theater, events were held at the temporary 3,500 seat Hard Rock Event Center, which hosted acts including Britney Spears on her Piece of Me Tour.
The 69th edition of the Miss Universe competition was held on May 16, 2021, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino where Zozibini Tunzi of South Africa crowned her successor Andrea Meza of Mexico at the end of the event.
Model Anna Nicole Smith, who was staying at the resort, died in her hotel suite on February 8, 2007. An autopsy ruled her death was caused by an accidental drug overdose from prescription drugs.
