It was a boiling hot day, and putting on waders over my exploring culottes was an uncomfortable and unpleasant start to the trip. We pressed our hands together, bent our knees and dived in.
The culvert would be an ideal test for a powerful new torch. Being underground, there seemed to be little chance of bringing down any aircraft.
It was an interesting drain - the different building types made for nice variety in pictures.
It looked to be very well maintained. The brickwork was neatly pointed and there wasn't very much rubbish. As was had arrived, I could see lots of little fish in the water. I didn't see any underground, but I forgot to look. Sorry everyone. I feel like I have let myself down.
I did not like the water level mark on the wall in here one bit. I am glad it didn't rain when we were in there. It was a good trip - and one of my favourite drains. I wonder that if I had been told on my twenty first birthday that by the time I was forty I would have a "favourite drain" then I may have considered searching for a length of hosepipe and my car keys.
The Roman Forum
The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum (Italian: Foro Romano), is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.
For centuries the Forum was the center of day-to-day life in Rome: the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus of commercial affairs. Here statues and monuments commemorated the city's great men. The teeming heart of ancient Rome, it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in the world, and in all history. Located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, the Forum today is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archaeological excavations attracting 4.5 million or more sightseers yearly.
Many of the oldest and most important structures of the ancient city were located on or near the Forum. The Roman Kingdom's earliest shrines and temples were located on the southeastern edge. These included the ancient former royal residence, the Regia (8th century BC), and the Temple of Vesta (7th century BC), as well as the surrounding complex of the Vestal Virgins, all of which were rebuilt after the rise of imperial Rome.
Other archaic shrines to the northwest, such as the Umbilicus Urbis and the Vulcanal (Shrine of Vulcan), developed into the Republic's formal Comitium (assembly area). This is where the Senate—as well as Republican government itself—began. The Senate House, government offices, tribunals, temples, memorials and statues gradually cluttered the area.
Over time the archaic Comitium was replaced by the larger adjacent Forum and the focus of judicial activity moved to the new Basilica Aemilia (179 BC). Some 130 years later, Julius Caesar built the Basilica Julia, along with the new Curia Julia, refocusing both the judicial offices and the Senate itself. This new Forum, in what proved to be its final form, then served as a revitalized city square where the people of Rome could gather for commercial, political, judicial and religious pursuits in ever greater numbers.
Eventually much economic and judicial business would transfer away from the Forum Romanum to the larger and more extravagant structures (Trajan's Forum and the Basilica Ulpia) to the north. The reign of Constantine the Great saw the construction of the last major expansion of the Forum complex—the Basilica of Maxentius (312 AD). This returned the political center to the Forum until the fall of the Western Roman Empire almost two centuries later.

Can Bordoi és un antic mas documentat des del segle XIII. En el fogatge de 1553 s'esmenta a "en Bordoy". A principis de segle XX, Josep Comas i Masferrer va aixecar la nova casa i altres edificis annexes amb gust noucentista.
Es creu que l'edifici va ser construït per l'arquitecte Marcel·lí Coquillat (Marceliano Coquillat y Llofriu), perquè existeix el plànol d'un element arquitectònic del jardí no construït, però signat per ell. Tot el conjunt és d'una homogeneïtat estilística que fa pensar en un sol autor.

Castle Rock had been a military base and royal residence for centuries. However, the edifice that is known as Edinburgh Castle was built during the 12th century by David I, son of Saint Margaret of Scotland.
The tensions between the English and Scottish monarchies nearly always centred on Edinburgh Castle. He who held the castle held rule over the city of Edinburgh and, therefore, over all of Scotland. Consequently, the castle was almost constantly under siege.
The first major battle the castle witnessed was during the late 13th century when Edward I of England attempted to seize the then vacant Scottish throne. From 1296 to 1341, the castle bounced from English to Scottish hands several times during the First and Second Wars of Scottish Independence.
After the Wars of Independence, the castle was in great need of repairs. Most of the construction was overseen by David II. In his honour, David’s Tower was erected.
In 1571, English forces laid siege to the city of Edinburgh in an attempt to capture Mary, Queen of Scots. The siege, which lasted for two years, became known as the “long” or “Lang” siege. By February of 1573, all of Mary’s supporters had surrendered to the English. During the Lang Siege, David’s Tower was destroyed.
The castle, again, witnessed strife when, in 1650, Oliver Cromwell executed Charles I and led an invasion of Scotland. In August of that year, Edinburgh Castle fell into English hands.
During the Jacobite Risings (1688-1746), the Scots attempted, several times, to recapture their castle. Unfortunately, they were never able to overpower the English. The final attempt was in 1745 when the Jacobite army was led by Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie). Although the Scots were able to capture the city, they were never able to lay siege to the castle. In November of that year, the Jacobites were forced to retreat.
From the late 18th century to the early 19th, Edinburgh Castle was used to hold military prisoners from England’s many wars. The castle became a national monument in 1814 after a mass prison break proved that the castle could not hold prisoners. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the castle was slowly restored. Military ceremonies began to be held there and, in 1927, part of the castle was turned into the Scottish National War Memorial.

Daddy Frye's Hill Cemetery is located north of downtown Methuen, on a roughly rectangular block bounded by East, Arlington, Brook, and Berkeley Streets. It covers about 2.4 acres (0.97 ha), whose borders are lined either by a mortared stone wall, or by chain-link fencing. The terrain trends gently downhill to the south, and is dotted with trees. Most of the gravestones are oriented facing west, and are of slate or marble. The artwork on the markers is typical of the 18th and 19th centuries: winged skulls, willows, and urns are frequently seen. The most prominent feature within the cemetery is the stone memorial chapel built in the late 19th century by the businessman and philanthropist Edward Searles, honoring his aunt and uncle. The surrounding stone wall dates to the same period, and was also funded by Searles.
The cemetery site was known from an early date as "Meeting House Hill", because it was here that the townspeople erected the first Meeting House in 1728, and the second in 1798. This building was removed in 1832, and replaced by the present stone church in 1855, which retains some of the timbers from the 1796 structure. Afterward the hill became more commonly known as Daddy Frye's Hill, for Jeremiah Frye, who kept a large tavern on the northwest corner of the intersection of East and Brook Streets. The town founders and its first minister, the Reverend Christopher Sargent are all buried here.
The photograph above shows a rectangular fabric expansion joint in the final stages of assembly. The fabric “belt” is being attached to the metal frames. These expansion joints are inserted in metal ducts which carry hot gases at low pressures. Layers of different materials are selected to make a “belt” which will function at the high temperatures required.

The rectangular mosque comprises a central nave with a single dome, two colonnaded halls on either side, with two square chambers crowned with domes. Carved mihrabs adorn the main chamber and the two smaller rooms.
The mosque marks the phase of transition in Islamic art, as indigenous architectural elements were blended with Persian elements. The pillared dalan of the facade, the liwan with three arched openings framed by panels and crowned by five chhatris and the central mihrab adorned with an inlaid mosaic of stones that are bordered by glazed tiles, and it has golden inscriptions on a royal blue background, a tribute to this fusion. The interiors of the iwan are adorned with watercolour paintings depicting stylized floral designs.

Descripció:
Les ruïnes del castell de Selmella es troben situades a 828 metres d'alçària, al nord del municipi del Pont d'Armentera, a prop de les restes del despoblat de Selmella. L'interior és de planta rectangular i presenta un estat molt deteriorat. Es conserven només part del mur, obertures i altres elements dispersos, en alguns casos de tipologia romànica.
Notes històriques:
El primer document de què hom disposa sobre Selmella és prou aclaridor del seu origen: tracta del judici per la propietat del terme castral, que té lloc a Santa Perpètua l'any 1011. S'oposen el bisbe de Vic, Borrell i el seu oncle o avi, Sal·la, senyor de Santa Perpètua, per una part, i Hug de Cervelló, fill d'Ansulf de Gurb, per l'altra.
A partir de la segona meitat del segle XII, el terme del castell de Selmella es veu afectat de forma important per la fundació del monestir de Santes Creus, el qual a partir de 1173 inicia una política de compra de terres i drets de pastura a tota la zona. Aquest fet, al costat de les donacions i deixes que rep dels senyors amb drets a la zona, converteix el cenobi en un dels senyors més importants del territori. L'establiment del monestir en terres del terme de Selmella comporta la creació de la granja de Fontscaldetes i la quadra del Conill que, al seu torn, generen importants conflictes.
Al llarg del segle XIII el monestir continua incrementant els drets sobre el terme de Selmella, tot i que la senyoria pertany a Ramon Alemany de Cervelló. De mitjan segle XIV daten el fogatges que ens aproximen a la població dels termes castrals. Selmella documenta en el fogatge de les corts de Cervera (1379) una població escassa, només cinc famílies, que es reduiran només a una en el fogatge de 1496. En són senyors, com en els segles precedents, la família Cervelló.
Més endavant, ja al segle XVII, consta com a propietària la família Armengol, barons de Rocafort, que probablement compraren el castell, junt amb la baronia de Montagut, a començaments del segle XVI.
A l'extinció dels senyorius jurisdiccionals (1837), a Selmella hi viuen de forma bàsicament disseminada una setantena de persones; pertany llavors al municipi del Pont d'Armentera.
