Ruins of St. Mary's Church & Cemetery, Dunvegan, Isle of Skye
So off I set to Dunvegan in search of a ruined church and The Duirinish Stone, never been before so took a leisurely stroll around it and shot it from various positions this probably being my favourite. Unfortunately the weather closed in and removed any hope of some light at sunset and removed any view of the background scenery. I didn't see any point of going up to The Duirinish Stone so that's for another time. I do really like these old ruins that are so common in parts of Scotland. They always make me wonder about the story behind how they got to their current state.
St Mary's Church was built in 1694 -- the date is inscribed on a stone over the north door -- to replace an older medieval church that served as the parish church for the Duirinish region of northern Skye.
The original building was a simple rectangle, but a north burial aisle was added in 1839. A 1735 burial enclosure with fine Renaissance carving stands against the west gable.
The church stands within a stone-walled burial ground enclosure. Within the burial ground are three medieval grave slabs carved with traditional claymore and foliage symbols. www.britainexpress.com/scotland/Skye/dunvegan-st-marys-ol...

I took a picture of this house over a year ago and it was in a pretty bad state (see the first comment). When I went by it the other day, I noticed that work was being done. The L-shaped back of the house has been completely removed. This is the same viewpoint as the first picture. They have removed the two windows on the side and boarded over them.
At this point, I’m not sure if they are methodically tearing it all down or fixing it up.
I’ll be keeping my eye on it.
I first took a picture of this house in April of 2021 when it was undergoing renovation. See the photo in my first comment. It looks beautiful now. What a fine job of restoration. I would love to sit on that lovely porch. HWW!
A nice old Italianate house in southern Elkhart County, Indiana. My guess is that this was built somewhere between 1885 and 1895.

Sometime ago I posted some of the illustrations from the above book and I hoped that would be able to find them physically in the museum and photograph them. I took the third set of 15 illustrations from this book and went on the V & A website; Search the Collections. My results were based upon the following criteria:
(1) Items I did locate and photograph.
(2) Items that were in storage
(3) Items I couldn’t find anywhere
So I will be posting them, along with their locations in the museum, against the original plate and photograph from storage (where possible). The original price and any further information I might find.
One thing I didn’t count on, was that renovations would alter the interior of the building so drastically. I have found it very difficult to pin some of these locations down but in the main they have been found.
Not many of the examples shown this time were successful, as can be seen I only found 1 item.
No, this is not Hamburg, this is by far the most frequented museum in Berlin which has undergoing staggered renovation work since 2013 and it is not expected that the Pergamonmuseum will be completely accessible to visitors again before 2025.

It's autumn and the colours are nearing perfection on the New England Tableland in northern New South Wales. We found this old home or homes in a back street of Tenterfield. An ominous industrial skip sits just out of shot to the left and the beautiful old stager with the lattice front is only just a shell this side, the rear has gone. Hard to tell whether anything will survive or the whole lot is going.
Shame, its stories are floating free and there will have been many of them.

For a coupe of days we watched different rosellas check out this hole in a tree at the Tumut Caravan Park. Eventually, this one took up residence and began renovating .... foreshadowing what would face us when we got home in a few days.
Facade renovation! /// Ce bâtiment a été construit pendant les années 70 et il est maintenant en rénovation.

De Van der Pekbuurt is gebouwd tussen 1918 en 1926 en is daarmee een van de eerste tuindorpen van Amsterdam. Architect Jan Ernst van der Pek ontwierp de stedenbouwkundige en architectonische opzet in 1916. Rode bakstenen muren, geglazuurde gele bakstenen banden en portieken die uit de gevels springen kenmerkten het straatbeeld. De wijk geldt als beschermd stadsgezicht.
De woonblokken hadden door de vele aanpassingen in de loop der tijd hun oorspronkelijke charme verloren. Door kunststof kozijnen en verdwenen originele details zoals dakkapelletjes, tuinmuren en voordeuren hadden de blokken een armoedige uitstraling gekregen. Ook de originele kleuren waren verdwenen.
Binnen de gehele renovatie van de wijk is aan de buitenzijde de historische uitstraling van de woningen van de Van der Pekbuurt teruggebracht. Zo hebben de nieuwe houten deuren en kozijnen de oorspronkelijke kleuren uit de jaren 1920: okergeel, donkergroen en roodbruin (architectenweb.nl).
