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.

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.

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!
The old farmhouse on farm Helenenhof being made to look as good as new. ;-)

Have a great day, everyone! 😊
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.

A picturesque tall white-harled house on the north side of the junction between Back Causeway and The Cross in Culross (W FIfe), The Study dates from c.1610. This is said to be where Bishop Leighton of Dunblane (1611-84), who lived nearby in Bishop Leighton's House, composed his sermons. Built as a merchant's house, next to Culross Palace one of the finest in Culross, the building was acquired by the National Trust for Scotland in the 1930s. It was renovated by Ian G. Lindsay and Partners in 1959, winning a Civic Trust Award in 1962. The Study is now A-listed and is open to the public for guided tours.
The building is L-plan and comprises a three-storey main block, with a tower facing the street which rises higher. This contains a turnpike stair, with the upper stage corbelled out and containing the actual study. The orange pantiled roofs feature crow-stepped gables and catslide dormers. The windows to the front feature lattice leadwork and wooden shutters below, allowing the windows to open. Inside there are original fireplaces and timber panelling, while the beamed ceiling of the first-floor room is a reconstruction of the 1960s, brightly painted with fruit and flowers in homage to its 17th century forerunner.
I'm playing catch-up on Flickr, postings some retrospective shots from 2022, having not posted anything for a while since my Pro account expired.
I think this old houseboat had probably seen happy days once
but looking at the bar across the door it looked abandoned.

This might well be the best house in Swansea. It is kept in superb condition, but wears all the traits of late Georgian styling. From that top balcony would be wonderful views of Great Oyster Bay and the Freycinet Peninsula.
