The blue hour in the morning on the Grand Canal is a quiet and special time. The throngs of visitors are still sleeping and the gondolas look like they are too.

Before I left on this trip, I got a new little camera and had to replace my ancient computer, so I am learning what new things each of them can do. Good for the mind and to see the possibilities. I like vignettes so used that tool in editing.

Pigeon Point lighthouse was built in 1872 to assist ships with navigating the crushing tides in this region, which had claimed multiple victims prior to its construction. Namely, the Carrier Pigeon cargo vessel which was wrecked in 1853 while en route from Boston to San Francisco, giving way to the name Pigeon Point.

Pigeon Point lighthouse still remains a navigational landmark, but the original lens has been replaced by an electronic light outside the lens room and the lighting is completely automated.

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.”

I continue to replace images that I posted before with a new version that I like better. Morning Glory is one of my favorite flowers in the garden. I start them from seed and enjoy seeing than blossom. Each stage of the flower is fascinating to photograph.

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.

Vladimir Tatlin was a Russian artist and architect. After the 1917 Revolution, V.I.Lenin tasked him with replacing Tsarist monuments with ones expressing revolutionary ideals.

Tatlin’s proposed tower was an abstract iron and glass sculpture 400m tall (Eiffel tower is 300m). The tower's axis tilted parallel to that of Earth's.

The monument was to be the headquarters of the Comintern, the international grouping of Communist parties. A lower glass cube housing the Legislature would revolve once a year. Above that was the Executive in a pyramid rotating once a month. Above that, a cylinder would hold press and communications and revolve daily. The entire edifice was to straddle the Neva in Petrograd (St Petersburg).

One prescient feature was the surrounding double helix – Tatlin’s radial struts could almost represent its canonical amino acid bases! Had the existence and structure of DNA – the key to life – been known to Tatlin it would have been of immense symbolic importance.

Tatlin’s constructivist monument in one sense harks back to the 1890s of Eiffel’s France. In another it looks far forward to the twisted and otherwise non-rectilinear steel and glass postures of almost any present-day city finance quarters.

Tatlin’s Tower was never realised although he and students made a 4.2m high mostly wooden model in 1920.

The model pictured here is 1/42 scale and was erected in 2011 at the London Royal Academy. It was subsequently moved to the UEA Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich. The Sainsbury Centre is in the foreground at right.

The Bridge....

Saturday Karen and I made our way to the south end of Heart Lake Conservation Area; The fall is a fickle time. some years the leaves changing colours are okay and others they don't change much at all. some years they last for a long time others a sudden storm and strong winds and its all over.

This is probably the last weekend for shooting fall colours in southern Ontario, the colour display is off the charts, so may varied shades of red, yellow and burnt orange.

this shot is of the bridge in the middle of the park, it is showing signs of its age and will probably be replaced with a much better newer one, but i do love the old worn out version.

Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

The town house was commissioned to replace an earlier tolbooth on the same site. It was designed in the Scottish medieval style, built in sandstone and was completed in 1626. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing Back Causeway; there was an external double forestair containing a blind oculus leading up to a central doorway with a rectangular fanlight on the first floor. The staircase was flanked, on the ground floor, by two small windows and, beyond that, by two small doorways. The first floor was fenestrated with four square-headed sash windows. A three-stage clock tower was installed in 1783: the first stage involved a round headed window, the second stage featured a clock designed and manufactured by Laurence Dalgleish and the third stage featured a louvered opening. The whole structure was surmounted by a cornice, an ogee-shaped dome and a weather vane. Internally, the principal rooms on the first floor were a council chamber (on the west side) and a reception room (on the east side) and a debtors' prison; the ground floor was occupied by cells for the incarceration of criminals It is likely that Lilias Adie of nearby Torryburn was among the many women accused of witchcraft who were held in the cells in the garret. The only source of light were the small windows below the roofline and whatever sunlight shone through the slate roof.

I visited here in October and the bridge was shut then, apparently its gone altogether now. I hope they replace it with a bridge that is beautiful as well as functional.

INFO 'The Domesday Book records Ringmore as a Devon Manor known then as ‘Ronmore’. Stephen de Haccombe, and his successors are know to have built three chapels in the area, two survive as chapels today, one at Haccombe, and the other is St Nicholas in Ringmore, Shaldon.

This was consecrated and dedicated to St.Peter, and became the new Parish Church of St.Nicholas, South Devon in 1903. St Nicholas was subsequently renovated with funds generated by a generous benefactor, and was given the official title of Chapel of Ease.'

Khandzta was a medieval Georgian monastery founded by Gregory of Khandzta (prominent Georgian ecclesiastic figure and a founder and leader of numerous monastic communities in Tao-Klarjeti) in 782 AD.

In 780 the future St Gregory of Khandzta moved to Tao-Klarjeti to revive Georgian monasticism in the region. He originally resided at the monastery of Opiza but then founded his own monastery at Khandzta in 782, and soon it became the center of monastic life in Tao-Klarjeti under his direction. Its influence lasted after his death in 861. In the 10th century, a local monk, Giorgi Merchule, wrote a Life of Gregory, celebrated as a masterpiece of Georgian medieval hagiography.

The first church at Khandzta was built of wood by Gregory and his companions. In 820, during the reign of Ashot I, a stone church was built to replace it by the nobleman Gabriel Dapanchuli. The present church seems to be a replacement again, dating from 918. The construction was completed in 941.

A freestanding bell-tower was added in the 16th century. From that time, the integration of the region into the Ottoman Empire and the active Islamisation of the population led to the decline of the monastery, and its eventual abandonment.

In September 1958, The Public Establishment for Installation of La Défense (EPAD) buildings (of which the Esso Tower was the very first) were built and began to slowly replace the city's factories, shanties, and even a few farms.

Intended to replace the ageing and outdated 125 HST, High Speed Trains, these Azuma units are bi-mode EMUs or Electric Multiple Units. Bi-mode means that they operate on Diesel generators where no overhead electric cables are available for the electric traction.

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.

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.

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.

The Patio de las Doncellas (Maidens Courtyard) is the center of the Palace of Pedro I in the Alcázar of Seville. This palace was built in the mid-14th century, replacing earlier Muslim constructions and is probably the most outstanding example of all Mudejar civil architecture. Around this patio the spaces with a public purpose are articulated, while around the small Patio de las Munecas the palatial rooms are arranged with a more private character. The ground floor corresponds to the original work of the 14th century, while the upper gallery responds to the reforms undertaken in the 16th century in Renaissance style. This magnificent courtyard is surrounded by a gallery of polylobed arches, adopting one of the most characteristic decorative forms of Almohad art. The central arches on each side are larger, highlighting the main axes of the patio. They all rest on precious marble columns in the Corinthian style, brought from Genoa during the Renaissance to replace the original brick pillars. The decoration is based on stucco, following the diamond-shaped pattern, comparable in style and quality to similar works from Córdoba or Granada. Among the ornamental motifs we see some as characteristic as the shell, a symbol of fertility, or the hand of Fatima, which symbolizes protection. All of them framed in a rich composition of geometric and plant motifs.

Guild Church of St Mary Aldermary

Situated at 69 Watling St, London, EC4N 4SJ.

There has been a church on this for about 900 years. The patronage belonged to the Prior and Chapter of Canterbury and was later transferred to the Archbishop in 1400.

Sir Henry Keeble paid for the building of a new church in 1510, but he died in 1518 leaving the tower still to be finished. It wasn’t until 1629 where two legacies enabled the church to be completed by 1632.

Poor Henry Keeble what was supposed to be his resting place, his dream was short-lived. His mortal remains were removed to be replaced by those of Two Lord Mayors, Sir William Laxton and Sir Thomas Lodge. To add insult to injury, his monument was also destroyed.

The church was badly damaged by the Great Fire of London in 1666, the tower and parts of its walls survived. A gentleman called Henry Rogers had left a legacy of £5,000 of which his widow had stipulated that the church should be rebuilt as a replica of the old one.

Sir Christopher Wren did the majority of the rebuilding in the ‘Gothic’ style. Pevsner writes ‘It is the chief surviving monument of 17th century Gothic revival in the City’.

Another church that was destroyed in the Great Fire ‘St Thomas the Apostle’ was now united with St Mary’s. St Thomas’s was not rebuilt.

A new organ was installed, built by George England and Hugh Russell in 1781. There were major restorations between 1876-77. A new Oak Screen was added, pews and stalls were replaced. The organ was moved from the Western Gallery to the Chancel, new glass to windows and a new Reredos installed.

The church was damaged in the Second World War but the damage was minor when set against the destruction to other churches in the vicinity.

The church was designated a Grade 1 listed building in 1950

April 2005 was the last major restorations, particular attention to plaster ceilings, memorials on the North Wall.

There are many famous people buried here but many are forgotten to us. Past Lord Mayors, Military figures and members of the Clergy glorified at the time but now not remembered in the mists of time. I found one reference to Richard Chaucer, a vintner, said to be the father of Geoffrey Chaucer of Canterbury Tales fame.

Since 2007 St Mary’s has been the Regimental Church of the Royal Tank Regiment. Also if you look at the many stained glass windows you will see many emblems of the London Guilds (Trades).

Definition of guild church. : an English metropolitan church that has been freed from parish responsibilities in order to minister full time to nonresident city workers during their hours in the city. This provided by Merriam-Webster.

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.

One of the most famous monuments in Warsaw, standing on The Old Town Marker Square :)

The Warsaw Mermaid - statue on Old Town Market square in Warsaw. It was the first monument of the Warsaw coat of arms and had an influence on the later images of the Warsaw Mermaid and popularized her figure among the inhabitants and visitors of the city. The mermaid appears in several Warsaw legends. All of them assigned her the role of the patron and protector of the city. The sculpture in Warsaw's Old Town Square was designed by Varsovian sculptor Konstanty Hegel. Originally (1855–1928) and now (since 2000) it stands in the marketplace. At other times, it was moved to different places in Warsaw. In 2008, the original sculpture made of bronzed zinc was taken from the market for maintenance work. The sculpture was in a very poor condition due to mechanical damage and numerous acts of vandalism. The repaired original was transferred to the Museum of Warsaw, and replaced with a copy of made by the Jacek Guzera foundry in Dąbrowie near Kielce.

Jeszcze jedna fotka ze Starówki, tym razem z syrenką :)

Pomnik Syreny – monument znajdujący się na Rynku Starego Miasta w Warszawie. Był on pierwszym pomnikiem warszawskiego herbu i miał wpływ na późniejsze wizerunki warszawskiej Syreny oraz upowszechnił jej postać wśród mieszkańców i osób odwiedzających miasto. Syrenka jest bohaterką kilku warszawskich legend. Wszystkie wyznaczają jej rolę patronki i opiekunki miasta. Syrenka na warszawskiej Starówce została zaprojektowana przez warszawskiego rzeźbiarza Konstantego Hegla. Pierwotnie (1855-1928) oraz obecnie (od 2000) stoi na rynku. W międzyczasie była kilka razy przenoszona w inne miejsca w Warszawie. W 2008 roku oryginalna rzeźba wykonana z brązowanego cynku została wycofana z rynku do prac konserwacyjnych. Rzeźba była w bardzo złym stanie z powodu uszkodzeń mechanicznych i licznych aktów wandalizmu. Naprawiony oryginał został przekazany do Muzeum Warszawy i zastąpiony kopią wykonaną przez odlewnię Jacka Guzera w Dąbrowie k. Kielc.

The Marchand covered bridge, the longest covered bridge in Quebec, was built in 1898. The 153-metre structure replaced two older bridges spanning the Coulonge River and linking the (original) lumber camp on one shore to the village of Fort Coulonge on the other. Built entirely of pine and held up by six wooden pillars, the one-way bridge was covered so that it wouldn’t rot. Classified as a historic monument, the Felix Gabriel Marchand Bridge is affectionately known as the Pont Rouge by locals.

………………………………………………………………..

Le pont couvert Marchand, le plus long pont couvert du Québec, a été construit en 1898. Cet ouvrage de 153 mètres a remplacé deux ponts plus anciens enjambant la rivière Coulonge et reliant le camp de bûcherons (original) d'une rive au village de Fort Coulonge de l'autre. Entièrement construit en pin et soutenu par six piliers de bois, ce pont à sens unique était couvert pour le protéger de la pourriture. Classé monument historique, le pont Félix-Gabriel Marchand est affectueusement surnommé le Pont Rouge par les habitants de la région.

"The Queen Victoria Building, now affectionately known as the QVB, was built in 1898 and designed by 28 year old architect George McRae, replacing the original Sydney markets on the site. Built as a monument to the long reigning monarch, construction took place in dire times, whilst Sydney was in a severe recession."
