This house is about a 100 metres from my home. After much work, they finally finished the renovations.
This is a 1937 Aermotor windmill. It is 45 feet tall and for years pumped water for the family. In the 1970’s the house on the property where it sat fell into disrepair and had to be demolished. The windmill remained in place, but it was in poor condition. Recently, the great grandson of its original owner had it dismantled and moved to his property. Then after much research, it was repaired and older parts were restored. The old windmill now looks like new as it towers above the surrounding farmland.
Happy Windmill Wednesday!
The boardwalk over White Lake has been refurbished. The rain gods are not impressed. The lake is nearly dry. Cullinan Park, Sugar Land, Texas. Shot with my Canon 90D. Evaluating its IQ. Keeper, or not?
In the late 80s, all NZs 'named trains' were being refurbished and rebranded based on the success of the Tranz Alpine.
Obviously not all the carriages could be done at once, so for a while the Southerner, which was pretty low on the priority list, ran around with a mix of cars from all over the place.
In this example there is a car-van (possibly from the Picton train), an original Southerner car and a refurbished example (but with small windows rather than the panoramic glass installed on most other cars - perhaps this was one of the a backpackers cars?).
The traditional 56-foot guards van has been replaced with a red FM van for luggage at the back. The FMs were fairly new guard's vans used on freight trains until the move to two-man train crews ended that a year or so before.
1988? DF 6064 DJ 3107 + 3286 Ravensbourne, Dunedin, SIMT-NZ. An old negative. Other than the changed rolling stock, this view from the old overbridge is possible today - the foreground sidings have gone, replaced by a walk/cycleway, and the boats for the fertilizer works still come and go!
Casa Batlló is a building in the center of Barcelona. It was designed by Antoni GaudÃ, and is considered one of his masterpieces. A remodel of a previously built house, it was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudà and has been refurbished several times after that.
Brackley is a delightful small market town in the south of Northamptonshire. Its market was originally based on wool and lace. Brackley is situated on strategic routes between London, Birmingham and the Midlands, and between Cambridge and Oxford. The charming former town hall in Brackley (pictured centre) dates from the Queen Anne period, having been built by the 4th Earl of Bridgwater in 1706. The weekly market is held in front of the building. In recent years the old town hall has undergone a major refurbishment, and I am pleased to say that an ugly metal fire escape has been removed from the outside of the building, with suitable improvements made inside.

Without any intention to offend anyone for the state of some houses, this series of ugly images is my desperate, probably futile attempt to save the architectural heritage that is already in such a state that her salvation is gone.
Part of what has been occupying my mind and energies over the last few months. I decided to try some new ways to look at it.
I always take showers, but this tub - which was almost seven feet long and painted (?) a beautiful turquoise-y color on the outside - almost enticed me in. But there was a really nice shower stall, too, so I just took a photo of the tub.

Warkworth Castle is a ruined medieval castle in Warkworth in the English county of Northumberland. The village and castle occupy a loop of the River Coquet, less than a mile from England's north-east coast. When the castle was founded is uncertain: traditionally its construction has been ascribed to Prince Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumbria, in the mid-12th century, but it may have been built by King Henry II of England when he took control of England's northern counties. Warkworth Castle was first documented in a charter of 1157–1164 when Henry II granted it to Roger fitz Richard. The timber castle was considered "feeble", and was left undefended when the Scots invaded in 1173.
Roger's son Robert inherited and improved the castle. Robert was a favourite of King John, and hosted him at Warkworth Castle in 1213. The castle remained in the family line, with periods of guardianship when heirs were too young to control their estates. King Edward I stayed overnight in 1292 and John de Clavering, descendant of Roger fitz Richard, made the Crown his inheritor. With the outbreak of the Anglo-Scottish Wars, Edward II invested in castles, including Warkworth, where he funded the strengthening of the garrison in 1319. Twice in 1327 the Scots besieged the castle without success.
John de Clavering died in 1332 and his widow in 1345, at which point The 2nd Baron Percy of Alnwick took control of Warkworth Castle, having been promised Clavering's property by Edward III. Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland, added the imposing keep overlooking the village of Warkworth in the late 14th century. The fourth earl remodelled the buildings in the bailey and began the construction of a collegiate church within the castle, but work on the latter was abandoned after his death. Although The 10th Earl of Northumberland supported Parliament during the English Civil War, the castle was damaged during the conflict. The last Percy earl died in 1670. In the mid-18th century the castle found its way into the hands of Hugh Smithson, who married the indirect Percy heiress. He adopted the surname "Percy" and founded the dynasty of the Dukes of Northumberland, through whom possession of the castle descended.
In the late 19th century, the dukes refurbished Warkworth Castle and Anthony Salvin was commissioned to restore the keep. The 8th Duke of Northumberland gave custody of the castle to the Office of Works in 1922. Since 1984 English Heritage has cared for the site, which is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
We spotted a pair of these birds carrying a lot of nesting materials. These birds have a pretty large nest - 1-2 m wide and close to a meter in depth. And while they reuse, they often refurbish the nest to make it better. The nest in this case was an old abandoned nest that was being refurbished. The birds slogged for a couple of hours and then took rest. Then disappeared over the large lake and the adjoining forest.
Thanks in advance for your views and/ or feedback. Much appreciated.

Mooie details van een mooie oude opgeknapte schuit Jokai
De Jókai is de op twee na langste stoomboot van het Balatonmeer ( 106 jaar in 2019 ) . Gebouwd in 1913 door de Óbuda-scheepswerf in Siófok, overleefde het twee wereldoorlogen, een zinkend, een economische crisis en meervoudige sloop.
Jokai vaart nu als een plezierboot samen met de Kisfaludy- boot in Balatonfüred .
Er worden regelmatig bruiloften, vrijgezellenfeesten en andere evenementen georganiseerd.

Nice details of a nice old refurbished barge
The Jókai is the third longest steamboat on Lake Balaton (106 years in 2019). Built in 1913 by the Óbuda shipyard in Siófok, it survived two world wars, a sinking, an economic crisis and multiple demolition.
Jokai now sails like a pleasure boat together with the Kisfaludy boat in Balatonfüred.
