At Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot).
This royal castle was built in a northern Renaissance style, for the Danish king Christian IV. The main building of the castle was built 1602-1620 (replacing an older structure). For a long time it served as a royal residence.
The castle was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859. The castle was restored, using old plans and drawings to give it its proper look - with generous donations made by J.C. Jabosen (who made a fortune founding the Carlsberg brewery), to turn it into a National Museum, which it still is to this day.

Architectural description
Architectural styleItalian Gothic.
The Abbey of Saint Galgano was a Cistercian Monastery found in the valley of the river Merse between the towns of Chiusdino and Monticiano, in the province of Siena, region of Tuscany, Italy. Presently, the roofless walls of the Gothic style 13th-century Abbey church still stand. Nearby are the chapel or Eremo or Rotonda di Montesiepi (1185), the tomb of Saint Galgano and the purported site of his death in 1181, the sword said to have been planted in the ground by Galgano and a chapel with frescoes by Ambrogio Lorenzetti.
History
The abbey formed around the site of the former hermitage of Galgano Guidotti (San Galgano), and construction of the church began around 1220, and was completed some six decades later. The abbey grew in wealth and became allied with the Republic of Siena. Monks from the abbey routinely served as Camarlinghi di Biccherna.
However within a century, the republic failed to protect it from roving condottieri, and John Hawkwood and his men despoiled the monastery beginning in 1363. By the end of the 14th-century, only the abbot remained in the monastery.
The impoverished and decaying abbey sputtered along for nearly four centuries. In 1786, the campanile fell, taking with it the roof of the church. The ruins were looted for building material. Some restorations occurred in the 19th and 20th; but the church remains only a magnificent shell among the wooded valley. The long tall nave with flechet windows and an apse rose window still stand. The abbey's chapter house and part of the scriptorium also remain.
The Rotonda chapel was restored in 1924 and retains its peculiar medieval shape, recalling imperfectly earlier Ancient Roman mausoleums.

The abbey was the location where parts of Andrei Tarkovsky's 1983 film Nostalghia were shot
Arnota Monastery is located in Costeşti commune, Vâlcea County, Oltenia, and it is one of Romania’s most valuable monuments, famous for its architectural style, sculptures and paintings. Initially a monastery for monks, today it is (since 1999) a convent for nuns. It is consecrated to Saint Archangels Michael and Gabriel and its dedication day is 8 November.
The monastery was erected by ruling prince Matei Basarab (1632-1654), between 1634-1636. Under the church of the monastery were found the traces of an older church. It is said that the ruler Matei Basarab decided to build this monastery on the site of the household where he found shelter in a difficult time, when he was chased by the Turks.
The monastery was renovated by ruling prince Constantin Brâncoveanu (1689-1714) between 1705 and 1706. He also added a porch with a belfry, and replaced the iconostasis and the front door carved in chestnut wood. He ordered the painting to be restored, with special precautions not to damage the previous layers.
The Heritage Council describes the Mount Gould Police Station thus:
The Mount Gould Police Station opened in the 1880s as a centre for police protection for Murchison pastoralists. In the late 1890s early 1900s, the police were concerned with checking cattle and sheep killing by the local Aboriginals. The buildings consist of the main station, which originally had a separate kitchen, lock-up, stone-lined well and a grave. Iron bars, to which prisoners were chained, are still set in the walls of the lock-up. On 3 June 1987, the restored Mt Gould police station was dedicated to all the pioneers who settled the district.
No mention of the treatment of the First Nations people who were often made to walk in chains to Carnarvon, some 450 kilometres away. Imagine doing this in the summer heat where the temperatures can exceed 40 °C.
Nor any mention of the Wajarri people, who had their own complaints regarding the disruption of water supplies and native wildlife by the pastoralists.
We camped here overnight. It still lingers in my mind, giving me an ill feeling. There is a feeling, a spirit about this place. I was happy to move on early the next morning.

After being moved to a new location towards the end of last year, venerable boxcab CN 6710 has now been repainted and restored. CN 6710 was built by General Electric and delivered to the Canadian Northern as CNoR 600 in 1919. It was used on the electrified Deux-Montagnes line until being retired in 1995.
Went to the Illinois Railway Museum (IRM) where our friend engineered the Shay #5 Steam Locomotive.
Built in 1929 by the Lima Locomotive Works it was put in service by J. Neils Lumber Company logging the Northwest. Restored in 2018 at the IRM.
The IRM is a great place with lots of old trains. Well worth a visit! I'll post more pix later

Thank you all for your visit comments and faves much appreciated!
Have a nice Monday keep well.
I made this for my Mama when she was battling cancer. Through it all her faith and love for the Lord never wavered. She never feared death. When she knew it was time, she said she was ready to go be with Jesus. She called it her graduation.

This 1956 Studebaker Hawk hood, came with a 170hp V8 engine. It could be upgraded to 180hp with the 4 barrel addition. The very talented restoration mechanic named Robert, told me of his passion to work on such vehicles. This piece of perfection sat idol for one year in a garage as it went through its beauty treatment.
Considering the Shuswap Car Show was held at an outdoor museum, it seemed appropriate to add a local flavour. So, I combined the rare scoop with the reflection of an old and also restored wooden building.

Little Moreton Hall, also known as Old Moreton Hall, is a moated half-timbered manor house in Cheshire, England.[The earliest parts of the house were built for the prosperous Cheshire landowner William Moreton in about 1504–08, and the remainder was constructed in stages by successive generations of the family until about 1610. The building is highly irregular, with three asymmetrical ranges forming a small, rectangular cobbled courtyard. A National Trust guidebook describes Little Moreton Hall as being "lifted straight from a fairy story, a gingerbread house".] The house's top-heavy appearance, "like a stranded Noah's Ark", is due to the Long Gallery that runs the length of the south range's upper floor.
The house remained in the possession of the Moreton family for almost 450 years, until ownership was transferred to the National Trust in 1938. Little Moreton Hall and its sandstone bridge across the moat are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and the ground on which Little Moreton Hall stands is protected as a Scheduled Monument.] The house has been fully restored and is open to the public .
At its greatest extent, in the mid-16th century, the Little Moreton Hall estate occupied an area of 1,360 acres (550 ha) and contained a cornmill, orchards, gardens, and an iron bloomery with water-powered hammers. The gardens lay abandoned until their 20th-century re-creation. As there were no surviving records of the layout of the original knot garden it was replanted according to a pattern published in the 17th century.
I had been waiting 2 1/2 years to finally get shots of this church in West Hamilton as it had been undergoing restoration. As of a few days ago, it is no longer under construction

Hadlow Road Station on the Wirral Way footpath between Hooton & Neston Cheshire restored to look and feel at the time of closure in 1956. Opened by the Birkenhead Railway in 1866 later run by the joint GWR & LNWR the original track lasted until 1966 due to BR DMU driver training.
The station incorporates a museum and is looked after by Friends of Hadlow Road Station, the signal box is not the original having been obtained from Hassel Green Northants, devoid of track since 1966 a length was relayed to complete the restoration by 2011.

The graveyards in Normandy used to be around the church. Some towns and villages moved their graveyards in the 19th century, when there was not enough space any more. The graveyard in Carsix stayed at the church.
The church Saint-Martin of Carsix was built in the 12th century. Or rather, the nave was built in the 12th century. The choir was rebuilt in the 14th century. That's the smaller part, that hangs on the bigger part. The bell tower was built in the 16th century. The door towards the street and the woodwork of the roof of the nave was restored in the 16th century. There was a restoration in the 19th century by an architect called Simon from Rouen. And he destroyed the pilgrim's graffiti, and maybe more.

So continuing with the series featuring one photo of each train in chronological trip order here is the fifteenth train of the trip and the fourth of Day 4. This was also the fourth and last non MRL powered train I'd photograph. An unidentified BNSF manifest rolls west through Billings Yard on MRL's First Subdivision, but the pair of orange GEs are obviously not the focus of this image.
BNSF 6989 is a decade old GE ES44C4 and contrasts greatly with number 84, an EMC SW-1 that is 73 years her senior! The little switcher was built by Electro-Motive Corporation and completed June 15, 1939 on OQrder E259 and was originally Chicago, Burlington and Quincy 9139. It later became Burlington Northern 84 until retired by the BN in November 1975. It then spent another decade on the Davenport, Rock Island and Northwestern until coming to Billings Grain Terminal. Now privately owned by friends of mine, getting to see 84 in person was another reason I wanted to make the trek over to Billings. He and his business partners hope to restore her to operation and eventually find a home on a tourist railroad or museum where she can run. To support the effort and learn more check out this link and even buy yourself a shirt, I've got one!

The downtown Pawhuska area has had a lot of work put into it. However, not every building and place has been restored. This old building was looking a bit tattered but still standing strong. Hopefully, we're able to keep these small downtowns alive into the future. It's a little crazy to think about how few opportunities there are outside of the big metro areas these days.

The famous “Binns Clock” on the corner of Princes Street and Hope Street in Edinburgh has been restored. The building used to be occupied by the department store Binns which was taken over by House of Fraser in 1953. The clock was installed in 1960 and was an iconic meeting place. The Frasers store closed in 2018 and the building is currently being converted into the Johnnie Walker Experience. The clock restoration work was carried out by the Cumbria Clock Company who also repaired the musical mechanism which plays traditional Scottish tunes every half an hour as the kilted figures march out of the clock. In keeping with tradition, the Highland figures will emerge to the musical accompaniment every seven and 37 minutes past the hour.
Freshly restored to operational status in UP's Steam Fleet by Ed and company, UP 4014 silently sits on a house track in Rock Springs, WY awaiting an early departure the next morning. UP 4014 and UP 844 were on Night 2 of their 5 day trip to Ogden, UT to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the building of the first Transcontinental Railroad.
I gotta say, to see it under steam in person was just astonishing. Also, a huge thank you to those who provided the flashes and Mag Light.
