Note: This is my all time fav pic :D I hope you guys like it as much as I do.
Since the bankruptcy in 2008 a huge majority of our branches have been shut down. Some of them remain empty shells after decades of inactivity, others razed (flattened) to the ground and vacant to this day. This location being the main branch was spared along with a handful of branches that remain open.
Kiss me
like you would savor
a cup of hot chocolate
on a rainy morning.
Kiss me
like a fire
would raze a forest
to the ground.
No private group or multiple group invites please!

I have been saddened to learn of the demolition of the abandoned house and general store in north central Kansas. The property's state of disrepair had been apparent, leading me to assume that the owner decided to demolish the building.
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.

This picture was taken by the Warsaw ghetto wall.
The Warsaw Ghetto, called by the German authorities Jüdischer Wohnbezirk in Warschau, was the largest of all the Jewish ghettos in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. It was established in the Muranów neighborhood of the Polish capital between October and November 16, 1940, part of the territory of the General Government of German-occupied Poland, with over 400,000 Jews from the vicinity residing in an area of 3.4 km2 (1.3 sq mi). From there, at least 254,000 Ghetto residents were sent to the Treblinka extermination camp over the course of two months in the summer of 1942.
The death toll among the Jewish inhabitants of the Ghetto, between starvation, disease, deportations to extermination camps, Großaktion Warschau, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the subsequent razing of the ghetto, is estimated to be at least 300,000.

The Urban Fox
Wild foxes have learned to adapt to the urban environment in order to survive. By nature, foxes are nocturnal and hunt at night, whereas the urban fox has adapted its behavior to survive and can be seen during daylight hours.
Locally, a fox vixen has located her den in the foundational remains of a razed building complex along the boardwalk at the Jersey Shore. She has six Kits, which can be seen frolicking in the debris and along the dunes during the day. The fox family has become local celebrities and unfortunately people have begun feeding them. Never feed wild animals. Although you may feel as if you’re helping them survive, you are actually harming them. Feeding foxes can alter their natural behavior and they may lose its fear of humans.
“Wildlife that is fed by people become less experienced at forging for their natural food and may become dependent on handouts that are not a part of their natural diets. This is especially true in juvenile animals that have not yet developed their own foraging skills and have little ability to fend for themselves once handouts cease.” ~ Julie King, Senior Wildlife Biologist
Please Do Not Feed the Wildlife!
Red Fox
The Red Fox, Vulpes vulpes, is the largest of the true foxes and the most abundant wild member of the Carnivora, being present across the entire Northern Hemisphere from the Arctic Circle to North Africa, North America and Eurasia. It is listed as least concern by the IUCN. Its range has increased alongside human expansion, having been introduced to Australia, where it is considered harmful to native mammals and bird populations. Due to its presence in Australia, it is included among the list of the "world's 100 worst invasive species".

EWoman1: Ronan, darling you MUST come back for the Assembly, tonight!
(the others chime in with encouragement)
Ronan: I'd love to, but you know I'm considered a, "bad boy" when it comes to official functions.
EMan1: A bad boy is exactly what we need. These functions can be devastatingly dreary!
(the others laugh and agree)
Ronan: I'm flattered, but I don't want to get anyone into trouble.
EWoman2: I wouldn't mind getting into trouble with you.
EMan2: Count me in!

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.
Taken during the visit of the image at our Parish, Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes. The image is making parish visits throughout the parishes in the Archdiocese of Cebu in order to encourage people to donate financially for the reconstruction of the Old Oslob Parish Church which was razed to the ground by fire last March 26, 2008 as well as to spread devotion to Our Lady under this advocacy. Plans are already set to recomstruct the Church but they lackfinancial aid and taht they wish that at least during their Fiesta this coming December 8, the church would already have its roof.
The image is said to be miraculous having survived many fires that attacked it, it still remained unscathed. Also at one time when it was stolen, it was miraculously returned by an unknown person and news spread through the town that the thiefs residence was razed to the ground by fire. It also is invoked by the people of Oslob in times of despair and has remained their constant refuge and joy time then and now.
The image is older than the church itself.

Located on a hill, Tarung and Waitabar are the main villages in Waikabubak area in Sumba, Indonesia. Both the villages were razed during a massive fire catastrophe last year. The fire was caused due to the curse of Marapu (the ancestral) spirits, as believed by the villagers. An Sumbanese lady is seen as she looks through a small piece of mirror as she prepares herself after the morning bath.

Cut to Mateo Lopez, expertly waterskiing on the lake.
Mateo: (shouts to Sienna Dane at the wheel) Take me in! (as the boat
approaches the dock, he spots Caly coming out of the office, dressed in
her park uniform) Nice!
(Staring at her, Mateo releases the drag line, allowing momentum to
carry him onto the beach. But his expertise goes unnoticed by Caly as
she is joined by Camp Director Wilson, who is apparently giving her the
orientation tour of the RV park.)
(Sienna secures the boat before walking down the short dock, stepping
over Mateo's skis to stand beside him, following his line of sight.)
Sienna: Must be the new girl.
Mateo: There's a new girl?
Sienna: Remember? Last meeting? Director Wilson said Jerry was
graduating and going to work for his dad's company.
Mateo: I have a blind spot regarding anything about Jerry.
Sienna: Because he beat your War Wolf high score?
Mateo: Because he was a boring cheater. What's her name?
(They begin strolling toward the main lodge.)
Sienna: What do I get out of it?
Mateo: You're bargaining for a name?
Sienna: I've seen her file. I can tell you more than her name.
Mateo: (looks impressed) What do you want?
Sienna: I've got kitchen clean-up duty tonight. You cover and I will
spill the tea.
Mateo: I hate clean-up.
Sienna: She's seventeen. That info's free. The rest will cost you
clean-up duty.
Mateo: Oo, nice safety. Thanks for the warning. Gentlemanly approach,
nothing freaky. Okay, I'll cover clean-up. (they enter a side door

The photo is of Doylestown Presbyterian Church.
The Presbyterian Congregation of Doylestown started when the Reverend Uriah DuBois came to Doylestown to found Union Academy in 1804, at what is now the corner of East Court and Broad Streets. The Academy served as a private school from its inception until August 1849, when it became part of the public school system. The building was razed in 1889 to make way for the Doylestown Borough School which was destroyed by fire in 1973.
The founding of the Union Academy in 1804 provided an opportunity for the first religious services in the community. The Reverend Uriah DuBois, pastor of the Deep Run Presbyterian Church in Bedminster Township several miles north of Doylestown, was the first principal of Union Academy, and one room in the Academy was set aside for use by all Christian denominations.
The Reverend DuBois divided his pastoral duties between Deep Run and Doylestown. In 1813, the year after Doylestown was made the county seat, the Presbyterians built their first church building on a lot purchased from John Shaw for $400. The new building was dedicated on August 13, 1815. It was constructed of stone, cost about $4200 to build, and stood on the site of the present church building. In 1871, the old church building was torn down and a new edifice was constructed facing East Court Street. The first building had faced Church Street. The new church edifice was dedicated on May 16, 1872. The Reverend DuBois continued to serve as pastor at Deep Run and Doylestown, as well as principal of the Union Academy, until his death in 1821. The congregation was served by supplies, interims, and short pastorates until the Reverend Silas Milton Andrews, D.D., came to serve as minister in 1831. Dr. Andrews' pastorate continued for fifty years. When he came in 1831, there were only 95 members in the two churches at Deep Run and Doylestown. By 1877, membership had grown to 400.
In 1913, the Deep Run and Doylestown congregations were officially merged to become the Deep Run-Doylestown Presbyterian Church. In 1957, a new church was established on the original site at Deep Run and both churches then resumed separate and respective histories.
In 1940, an educational building was constructed behind the church edifice on Mechanics Street. The building was enlarged in 1965 and renamed Andrews Hall in honor of Dr. Silas Andrews who served for fifty years as minister (1831-1881). In the fall of 2011, an eighteen-month project ended that included the expansion of Andrews Hall, renovation of the sanctuary, and construction of an enclosed bridge connecting the two buildings. At the same time, a new mission statement was approved declaring our ongoing resolve to be a "Bridge for Christ and a Beacon of His Love."
Since Dr. Andrews' ministry, the congregation has been served by the Reverends: William A. Patton, 1881-1890; W. Hayes Moore, 1890-1897; Robert M. Labaree, 1899-1904; John M. Waddell, 1904-1907; William E. Steckel, 1908-1920; George M. Whitenack, 1921-1937; Meyer M. Hostetter, 1938-1957; Dr. Thomas S. Goslin II, 1957-1967; George M. Haines, 1968-1970; Kenneth H. Hollenbaugh, 1971-1976; Dr. William C. Barger, 1978-2000; Dr. John M. Willingham, 2003-present.

Fotografies de la zona de combats de la Batalla del Ebre (1938).
Corbera d'Ebre fou el poble més damnificat per la batalla, pràcticament arrasat. Per això fou reconstruit a la seva part baixa, arran de carretera. La part més antiga, al turó, fou abandonada i ha pràcticament desaparescut (crec que més per acció del temps sobre les ruines que pel propi bombardeig, tantmateix). Just en el limit on acaba la part habitada del poble hi ha encara aquest edifici supervivent del poble medieval, recordant-me cert gratacels de fama mundial (en faig col·lecció).
La batalla de l'Ebre (25 juliol - 16 novembre de 1938) fou la més important i mortifera de la guerra civil espanyola. Hi ha que també la consideren també la més decisiva, però crec que per desgracia la guerra ja estava decidida de molt abans, com a minim des del trencament del front d'Aragó el 9 de març del mateix any.
Tot i que l'exèrcit republicà creuà l'Ebre el 25 de juliol del 1938 per molts punts entre Mequinensa i Amposta, la major part dels combats de la batalla es donaren a la Terra Alta, a la zona entre Vilalba dels Arcs, La Fatarella, Camposines i Gandesa, a més de la Serra de Pandols.

============================================
This is part of the Ebro battlefield (1938), in Southern Catalonia.
Among all the towns in the former battlefield, Corbera d'Ebre was the most destroyed of them all (although Vilalba, La Fatarella, Flix, Garcia and Benifallet were also quite damaged). All the upper, medieval, town was utterly bombed by the fascist artillery and even the nazi Legion Condor. It was after the war rebuilt only arround the lower road side. The top of the hill remains mostly empty now, because almost all the houses were destroyed and have even been razed afterwards to prevent dangers for the visitors. Only the mighty baroque church remains, although it lost it's roof.
Here are some aerial images:

This is the bombed and destroyed village of Corbera d'Ebre, in Republican hands from the 25th of July to the 3dr of September of 1938. Then it was utterly bombed alongside that sector of the front. Not only the fascist artillery was used, but also the German Legion Condor. Here it could be seen from the Coll del Moro viewpoint, the place from where Franco observed the battle several times. It had until several years ago a monument to the bloody dictator, but now it has been cleaned, moreover as it's an Iberian archaeological site.
The Battle of the Ebro (July 25 - November 16, 1938) was the most important and deadlier of the Spanish Civil War. There are those who also consider it the most decisive, but I think that unfortunately the war was already decided long before, at least since the breaking of the front of Aragon on March 9 of the same year.
The battle began with the greatest offensive made by the Republican forces, when they crossed the river Ebro between Mequinensa and Amposta (especially between Riba-roja and Miravet), and advanced to the line La Pobla de Massaluca -Vilalba dels Arcs -Gandesa - Serra de Pandols . But in just 48 hours, the dazzling advance was stopped short. Then Franco decided to crush the republican forces hill by hill (with massive artillery and bomber barrages), in a battle of attrition identical to the First World War for which the Republicans had no resources or alternative, especially with the river behind them. The main assaults, which lasted from August 10 to October 29, were concentrated in a very small and devastated area: the triangle Vertex Gaeta - Corbera - Camposines.
Finally, a final offensive on October 30 occupied the ridge of the Serra de Cavalls, making the entire Republican bridgehead unsustainable, which managed, however, to withdraw in an orderly manner until November 16. But the damage was already done, and there were no forces left for a proper defense of Catalonia, which fell three months later. Then, fascist darkness.

(Our Lady of the Bramble)
After the razing of the town by Moors around 900 A.D., the site was largely abandoned for several decades. In 973, a farmer was ploughing to clear a field where the church had once stood, when his cattle stopped, knelt by a bramble bush (roumi, in Provençal), and would no longer advance. The farmer thus dug up the bush himself, only to find underneath it a statue of Mary with the Child Jesus, wrapped in a stone box and presumably hidden there since the destruction of the church decades earlier.
The episode was taken as a sign to re-build the church, and the statue (on the pedestal, above) has been the object of veneration there since.
I have titled this series Romanesque England, and so far it does correspond fairly well to what we have seen. Today however, and for the last church in the series, we visit a truly pre-Romanesque wonder, which also claims to be the oldest wooden church in the world: Saint Andrew in the hamlet of Greensted-juxta-Ongar (isn’t that a delicious name in and of itself?) in Essex.
There have been various attempts at dendrochronology dating on the timbers, bringing back results ranging from 845 to 1055 (the latter with a margin of error of 10 to 55 years). The differing results are not surprising: even though the best oak wood was certainly selected for the walls, it is to be expected that a lesser specimen went undetected and had to be replaced a couple hundred years down the road. The oldest parts (the walls of the nave) indeed appear to be what we in Continental Europe would call Carolingian, and even though that church was subjected to a lot of later alterations (the chancel is 16th century and the wooden tower 17th), it retains a unique and enormously attractive atmosphere as an ancient place of worship. The southern porch and three dormer windows were also added during the 17th century, and unfortunately further remodeled during the extensive Victorian “restoration” this church had to undergo —or should I say withstand?
Archæologists even tell us that a previous, very basic church, probably existed here as early as the late 500s, as traces of it have been found under the present chancel, which replaced an earlier, timber-made one. It may even have succeeded a more ancient, and Pagan, place of worship: early Christianity is known for having so “appropriated” (or should I say “expropriated”?) temples and oratories of cults it sought to replace. Building a church over them was a convenient way to obliterate previous constructions, effectively wiping them from the sight of the next generation —and generational succession happened quickly in those times when life was terribly short. Memory often remained through spoken tradition, though, and sometimes still remains to this day, albeit deformed by the many retellings...
Most of the generations that came before, say, the second half of the 20th century, either didn’t care about maintaining old buildings they inherited from their forefathers, or didn’t know how to do the job properly. They razed and replaced, or they maimed and rent, however well-intentioned they may have been. Considering, it is kind of miraculous that this extremely old church, even more so as it is made of a material not as durable as stone, has managed to reach our times relatively unscathed, at least as far as the nave is concerned.
This is a must-see for anyone interested in the Middle Ages, a truly unique survivor of Carolingian times... even if finding it isn’t the easiest thing, even with a good satnav!
Inside the venerable nave, managing to “unsee” all the ugliness superimposed by modernizers and other “restorators” is not easy, but try and focus on the splendid wood frame, which does indeed show, maybe, some inspiration from Scandinavian countries, as some authors think that was where this church got some of its stylistic flair...
