In the 19th century, the Merksplas colonies were sites of projects to offer labour to vagabonds and unemployed people. Over a 1.000 acres of rough land was cultivated and are nowadays accessable for walkers and bikers. The bulidings and farm are nicely renovated and accessible.

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...

Die Brücke wird voraussichtlich 2024 fertiggestellt.

The bridge is expected to be completed in 2024.

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.

A small impression of the work in this phase of the renovation in the house. Man, what a mess of particulate matter and noise pollution. Fortunately, 1 more day and then the build-up begins.

 

HMT ;-))

There was actually a BMW in the driveway (hidden in the shadows).

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.

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.

Bratislava is a mix of the beautiful and the formerly beautiful. This architectural Grizabella offers a Memory to people at the thriving craft festival in the adjacent square.

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.

The historic Woolworth's building has been under renovation for the past three years. The grand opening is slated for September or October of 2025. The nostalgic luncheonette counter will be up and running. Exciting!

Thanks a lot for all Your Comments and Faves...

At Grants Lagoon near Binalong Bay. I was surprised by the number of holiday homes without much of a township at all which exist to the left of this photo. But this little tinny was sitting by itself on the lagoon. The exit to the sea was blocked by the large expanse of white sand so the water must trickle underneath and on to the sea.

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).

I think this old houseboat had probably seen happy days once

but looking at the bar across the door it looked abandoned.
