In the new church of Vallsjö - inaugurated in 1895, and built in Neo-Gothic style (really unusual in this part of the country). This church was built to replace the medieval church of Vallsjö, which was much smaller. Today the choice of place can look a bit weird, since the church is sitting at the outskirts of Sävsjö, a much larger place than Vallsjö. But when the church was built, things were different and Sävsjö just starting to grow after the railway had reached the place. So the place was chosen as a compromise between those who wanted to have it in Sävsjö, and those who wanted it next to the old church (the place now is 4 kilometres away, as the crow flies, from the old one - and a bit longer than that if you want to actually stick to a road).

The Prince Edward Point Lighthouse, built in 1881, is a squaretapered wooden lighthouse with an attached dwelling. The lighthouse is located on the eastern tip of Prince Edward Point, Ontario. Besides the combined 7.8-metre (26 foot) lighthouse and keeper’s residence, the lightstation also includes a detached shed. The lighthouse was automated in 1941 and operated until 1959 when it was replaced by a steel skeleton tower.

The lighthouse is associated with various shipwrecks that occurred in this area, colloquially called the “Graveyard of Lake Ontario”.

The Prince Edward Point Lighthouse supported the shipping industry, marking a safe avenue for commercial ships travelling through the waters of Lake Ontario for nearly 80 years. The lighthouse marks the only protected harbour for a distance of approximately 60 nautical miles.

Prince Edward Point Lighthouse was recognized as a Heritage Lighthouse in 2015. (Parks Canada)

The end of the trail at the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory, the lighthouse is a good spot to look for sea ducks during migration, as well as gulls and cormorants. Over 300 species of birds have been recorded on the trails and lake.

These folks have replaced the traditional barking dog with ‘guard cacti’. Really who says cacti in everyday speak? The fence is only in the front of the property and does not extend around the side. Obviously there are plans for more cactus plants in the future. I think there should be a sign saying, “Beware of Cacti. Get the point? You could be stuck until the police arrive.” As Robin would say, “Holy prickly situation, Batman.”

Pumping station "de Vier Noorder Koggen". Built in 1869 to replace some polder mills for the draining of the polder land to the former Zuiderzee. The pumping station consists of two parts: the old pumping station from 1869 and on the left the new pumping station from 1907.

The old pumping station worked well, but that was not enough. The pumping station, and also the mills, were running at full power, but the area behind the dike remained too wet. There were also votes to build another pumping station, but the high costs were feared. The farmers complained of stone and bone. After a lot of talking, while meanwhile wet years caused a lot of damage, it was finally decided to expand the old pumping station with a new section in which a gas engine would be placed. The new building was completed in 1907. The mills were no longer needed. The millers were fired and had to leave their home and workplace. The windmills were sold for five hundred guilders each. Of the twenty mills, which were managed by the Vier Noorder Koggen, only the West-Uit 7 mill at Aartswoud was spared. The appearance of the Brakepolder changed considerably when fourteen windmills disappeared from the landscape there in just a short time.

During World War I, opponents of steam were proved right when the pumping station ran into problems because the coal supply stopped. It was decided to keep a large stock of coal available at all times.

The gardens evolved from an earlier formal Baroque garden laid out around Stowe House, home of the Temple-Grenville family. In about 1718 Richard Temple, Baron (later Viscount) Cobham decided to replace that formal garden with one that was more in keeping with his own sense of what a garden ought to be.

abstraction of a bridge that is not accessible anymore. it used to be the only way to my house yet, years ago, it was replaced by a modern bridge. i have taken many photos while on this bridge or Mud River below. now it is so warped, i am not allowed to even walk on it. time and nature provides so much stuff to photograph!

Summer is packing its suitcases,

It’s setting off on a long journey.

Tomorrow, early in the morning,

Golden autumn will knock on our window.

And today we’re seeing summer off,

We’ll miss its warmth.

And we wish it not to get lost,

So that we can meet again soon!Today, summer is coming to an end, but it will stay with us as wonderful memories. I wish that the wonderful mood would always be with us, regardless of the time of year, and that the summer inspiration would stay in our souls even in the bitter cold.🙏🌞🌸

Aw !!!!! As you can see in my today's photos, their blooms are soooo adorably and deliciously formed, so gracefully colored!!! The plants are so generously built and colored !! The Divine Creator was full of inspiration and joy , really, while creating the blooms of these Beauties : Hydrangeas or Hortansias! ( Hydrangea = Hydra+Gea = Filled with water + earth, in Greek, implies that Hydrangeas are really fond of humid soil and atmosphere!!)

In my garden, they replace in July certain large-bloomed Roses in blooming, while these first ones carry faded rose blooms, and are being prepared for their second wave of blooming!! Therefore, the garden remains colorful non stop!! Which was really my target-aim while organizing its creation and planting in the mixed borders.…

Hydrangeas are generally carrying two types of blooms in various sizes and colors, according to the unique characteristics of each plant! They are either round bloomed-– Hydrangeas Mopheads--- or disc-like bloomed –Lacecup Hydrangeas Macrophyllas!

You can read here in this BBC ’s special gardening website how to grow them successfully!! www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/grow-plants/how-to-grow-hyd...

The first attempt to replace the wooden fort with a stone kremlin was recorded in 1374, but construction was limited to a single tower, known as the Dmitrovskaya Tower (this has not survived). Under the rule of Ivan III, Nizhny Novgorod played the role of a guard city, having a permanent garrison; it served as a place for gathering troops for Moscow’s actions against the Khanate of Kazan. In order to strengthen the defenses of the city, construction works on the walls began again.

Construction of the stone Kremlin of Nizhny Novgorod began in 1500 with the building of the Ivanovskaya Tower; the main work commenced in 1508 and by 1515 a grandiose building was completed. The oak walls that formed the old fortifications were destroyed by a huge fire in 1513. The two kilometer wall was reinforced by 13 towers (one of them – Zachatskaya – was on the shore of the Volga; not preserved, but was rebuilt in 2012). This “Stone City” had a permanent garrison with solid artillery weapons. With the fall of Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin lost its military significance, and later it housed the city and provincial authorities.

Memorial “Gorky for the front!” on the territory of the Kremlin between Dmitrovskaya and Kladovaya (Pantry) towers. 1986

During the World War II, the roofs of the Taynitskaya, the Severnaya, and the Chasovaya Towers were dismantled and anti-aircraft machine guns were installed on the upper platforms. Thus, the fortress defended the airspace of the city from the Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe bombed the Kanavinsky Bridge and the Fair, but the Kremlin's air defense defended these objects.

The Council of Ministers of the RSFSR issued an order on January 30, 1949 for the restoration of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin.

In October 2018, archaeologists discovered the remains of a medieval settlement and cemetery on the site of the destroyed church of St. Simeon Stylites. The finds belong to the 13th century, and the most ancient cultural layer - to 1221, when Nizhny Novgorod was founded. After all the excavations, the exhibits will be museified, and the church of St. Simeon the Stylite will be recreated at this place.

In 2021, before the 800th anniversary of Nizhny Novgorod, a major restoration was carried out. Under its terms, the most important thing was the restoration of the historic "battle road" inside the Kremlin wall. The city had been waiting for this event for 230 years. Since August 2021, locals and tourists can walk a full circular route along the large fortress wall while inside it. Its length is 2 km.

Lots of Patina slowly rusting away this iron work has a beautiful green color, slowly being replaced by iron rust, found in North Carolina.

This is my youngest's dog who likes to come to my house for many a sleepover. Here she is, happy as ever, just waiting to chase a ball or two. Lots of faffing in this shot - background replaced, oil painting effect applied and several rounds of sharpening and contrast adjustments undertaken.

One tower is already being replaced.

The arch has always been a lovely feature of the wall.

These cute but shy little birds have the sweetest little peeps. They don’t really like to be watched, so I had to get the photography blind set up just to get a photo. Well worth it, though.

The monumental building dates from 1656 and was designed by Daniël Stalpaert as a warehouse for the Admiralty of Amsterdam. The warehouse housed cannons, sails, flags and naval equipment for the war fleet. About 40,000 liters of rainwater were collected in the barrel vaults under the courtyard for the drinking water supply for the ships. The Zeemagazijn was built on 2,300 piles, but nevertheless the building subsided. Buttresses and additional risalites were to prevent further subsidence or even collapse. In 1791 the building burned down, except for the stone walls. The blackened brick facades disappeared under a layer of plaster that was supposed to represent blocks of sandstone. In 1795, Napoleon Bonaparte invaded the country and the Batavian Republic was founded. The five Admiralties were disbanded and replaced by a national navy. The Zeemagazijn became a warehouse for the navy. This remained so until the early 1970s.

Amtrak put 164 into phase IV heritage paint to replace phase IV unit 184 which was repainted in the standard scheme after some repairs. Here the still fresh looking 164 is on the point of the Capitol Limited as it flies towards Toledo across the former NYC "Air Line" in Swanton, OH. 6/9/2023

Here's an unusual take on this iconic building :-) hehe!

The Cathedral of Florence, officially known as Cattedrale Santa Maria del Fiore but better known as the Duomo, was originally planned in 1296 as a Gothic cathedral by Arnolfo di Cambio. It replaced the church of Santa Reparata, a cathedral church with a history going back to the early Middle Ages. Construction of the church would last until 1436 when it was consecrated by pope Eugene IV.

Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral

1085 De la Cathedrale Street, Montreal

The Cathedral is the third largest church in Quebec and is Catholic denomination. It was built to replace the former St. Jacques Cathedral which had burned in 1852. Work began in 1875 it was completed in 1894 and consecrated as St. James Cathedral being the patron of the parish that it served.

However in 1955 at the request of Cardinal Paul-Emile Leger it was rededicated by Pope Benedict XV to Mary, Queen of the world. There have been a number of restoration works. In 2003 the enclosed porch and esplanade were restored. Another restoration in 2005 was the work done to Bishop Ignace Bourget’s statue on the outside of the building.

The Bishop’s Mortuary was completed in 1935, this was dedicated to Bishop Bourget where lays his tomb. The walls and floors are made from Italian marble.

The Chapel of the Assumption has a beautiful wood carved altar with gold leaf decoration. There is a wonderful painting of Our Lady painted in the 17th cent by a Spanish monk (unknown). The altar itself was discovered by Rololphe Messmer, an Austrian architect in France. He donated to the cathedral in 1994.

The Ciborium which covers the altar and is located under the dome was created in Rome in 1900 by Joseph-Arthur Vincent and is a reproduction of the famous one in St. Peter’s in Rome.

The Statues which atop the roof of the Cathedral represent the thirteen parishes of Montreal and again imitate those on St. Peter’s in Rome.

There are many treasures to see whilst there, there are many paintings, beautiful stained glass window and panels. The Great Organ was built by Casavant Freres and installed in 1893. The company also did the maintenance work in the 1950’s.

A truly wonderful Cathedral to visit.

I replaced the small perch wih a stick I had found at one of the rapids in the Rio Grande. I put the camera on the tripod a few feet way. Then I set up my Canon R7 to be controlled by the Canon app in my iPhone while I was inside the house. Then just waited, and waited. And then waited some more. Finally, my small friend showed up late in the day as the light was going down. In my excitement I did not raise the ISO. I was lucky to get one sharp frame at 1/15 sec.

UPDATED Image replaced 13-02-2026 (found during a Lightroom Catalogue re-build) The image on the LEFT was the ORIGINAL POST, the image on the RIGHT is the REAL COLOUR of LEO (being confirmed that it IS him) a neighbours cat (in MORNING light) who sadly passed away over 10 years ago.😭😭😭

Last year, in Spring, our garden was full of colourful blooms but, with the amount of rain which fell in our absence, a lot of plants did not survive :(

I feel blessed that our home didn't get flooded like many others, though : after all, flowering plants can always be replaced !

Betnava Castle

Schloss Betnava

ENG:

The modern Betnava mansion replaced a medieval court, which was first mentioned in medieval written sources in 1313 as the court of Rudolf, a Maribor citizen and former provincial clerk in Breg near Maribor. The second reliable mention of Betnava can be found in a document from 1363: it is mentioned as Paldrumss hoff – Paltram's manor, i.e. the manor of Rudolf's son Paltram (I). In a document from 1378, Rudolf's grandson Paltram (II) is referred to as von Wintnaw – from Betnava – and this is the first explicit mention of Betnava. Probably at the beginning of the 16th century, but certainly before 1526, the Auerspergs became the owners. In 1555, Volf Engelbert Auersperg sold the estate to his brother-in-law Luka Szekely, and in 1587, the Herbersteins became the owners. In 1677, Janez Jakob Count Khisl bought the castle, but it burned down in 1685. The building was supposedly only restored by the Counts of Brandis, who inherited Betnava along with other associated estates in 1727. Betnava remained in the possession of the Brandis family until 1863, when it became the summer residence of the bishops of Lavant. In 1941, the German occupiers took the manor away from the diocese, and after the war it became state property.

GER:

Das moderne Herrenhaus Betnava ersetzte einen mittelalterlichen Hof, der erstmals 1313 in mittelalterlichen Schriftquellen als Hof von Rudolf, einem Bürger von Maribor und ehemaligen Provinzbeamten in Breg bei Maribor, erwähnt wurde. Die zweite zuverlässige Erwähnung von Betnava findet sich in einem Dokument aus dem Jahr 1363: Es wird als „Paldrumss hoff“ – Paltrams Hof, d. h. der Hof von Rudolfs Sohn Paltram (I) – erwähnt. In einem Dokument aus dem Jahr 1378 wird Rudolfs Enkel Paltram (II.) als „von Wintnaw“ – aus Betnava – bezeichnet, und dies ist die erste explizite Erwähnung von Betnava. Wahrscheinlich zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts, aber sicherlich vor 1526, wurden die Auerspergs zu den Eigentümern. Im Jahr 1555 verkaufte Volf Engelbert Auersperg das Anwesen an seinen Schwager Luka Szekely, und 1587 wurden die Herbersteins zu den Eigentümern. Im Jahr 1677 kaufte Janez Jakob Graf Khisl das Schloss, das jedoch 1685 niederbrannte. Das Gebäude wurde vermutlich erst von den Grafen von Brandis wieder aufgebaut, die Betnava zusammen mit anderen dazugehörigen Gütern 1727 erbten. Betnava blieb bis 1863 im Besitz der Familie Brandis, dann wurde es zur Sommerresidenz der Bischöfe von Lavant. 1941 nahmen die deutschen Besatzer das Gut der Diözese weg, und nach dem Krieg ging es in Staatsbesitz über.

The OLI motor had been bouncing back and forth on the Zephyr for a few weeks as I was prepping my move from Ottumwa. Despite being a filthy mess, the front end still looked decent in the sun. This day had been fairly cloudy for most of it, but the sun came out at the right time for the late station stop. I wanted to be sure to grab this view that will be impossible in short order as the platforms are being replaced and the depot will soon be shielded by a beautiful new canopy.

The Emosson dam has a great allure. It lays in a grandiose site with an extraordinary landscape on the Mont-Blanc Massif. The dam is 80 m (262 ft) high, It has a thickness of 58 m (190 ft) at the base, and 4.5 m (13 ft) at the top. It is 250 m (820 ft) long at its top, at an altitude of 1,930 m (6332 ft). The reservoir has a capacity of 225 million m3 (about 75,000 Olympic swimming pools). This makes a magnificent lake. It is the 2nd artificial reservoir in Switzerland. Upstream from the Emosson dam is the Vieux-Emosson dam at an altitude of 2,205 m (7234 ft), built in 1955.

The Emosson dam was completed in 1975. It replaced a smaller dam, the Barberine dam, which dated from 1925. Built not far from the Franco-Swiss border, it is the keystone of a major hydroelectric complex straddling France and Switzerland, with 3 hydroelectric power plants powered by this dam

Une magnifique retenue d’eau

Le barrage d’Émosson a beaucoup d’allure. Il est dans un site grandiose avec un paysage hors du commun sur le Massif du Mont-Blanc. Le barrage fait 80 m de hauteur, il a une épaisseur de 58 m à la base, et de 4,5 m au sommet. Il fait 250 m de long à son sommet, à une altitude de 1930 m. La retenue d’eau a une capacité de 225 millions de m3, soit environ 75000 piscines olympiques. Cela constitue un lac magnifique. C’est la 2ème retenue d’eau artificielle de Suisse. En amont du barrage d'Émosson se trouve le barrage du Vieux-Émosson à 2 205 m d'altitude, construit en 1955.

Le barrage d’Émosson a été terminé en 1975. Il a remplacé un barrage plus petit, le barrage de Barberine, qui datait de 1925. Construit non loin de la frontière Franco-Suisse, il est la clé de voute d’un important complexe hydroélectrique à cheval entre la France et la Suisse, avec 3 centrales hydroélectriques alimentées par ce barrage.

Atlantic seaside resort town in Southern Maine. The town is home of Palace Playland, an amusement park that dates back to 1902 and occupies four acres of beachfront.

Attractions included "The Carousel," with hand-carved wooden horses from Germany, beautifully painted and gold-leaf accented. "The Jack and Jill“ consisted of a large bucket that hoisted two people to the top of a 50 foot slide and dumped them out. Dominating the park was “Noah’s Ark,” a huge ark-shaped funhouse that rocked back and forth while parents hung onto their little ones straining to run through the below-deck passages.

A fire in 1969, reportedly started by a penny that replaced a fuse, consumed the park.

I couldn't bring myself photograph the cookie-cutter attractions that now make up Palace Playland. Those childhood pictures of unique charm and character exist only in my mind.

On this day 254 should've had 8757 leading, but it died at Wolverton. So they replaced it with the GP38s which is still cool

Nylon strings are traditionally tied behind the bridge, but I've found that after years of use strings begin to saw through the wood where they are tied. I've found that using tiny blocks of wood to secure the wood avoids the issue.
