The tower Perigueux Cathedral, a 12th century construction restored by Paul Abadie in the 19th century, in France's Perigord region.
My apologies for the fortnight's near absence: I went off to France and it turned out that there was no WiFi in my own situation; the good news is that I've brought back a substantial amount of photo's from some lovely locations.

"The prize yield from Carrara quarries through millennia has been Statuario, a pure white marble (coloring in other marbles arises from intermixture with other minerals present in the limestone as it is converted to marble by heat or pressure). However, by the end of the 20th century, the known deposits of Statuario near Carrara are played out. The quarries continue to remove and ship up to a million tons/year of less-esteemed marble, mostly for export."

Dating back to the days when horses filled the streets of the city, boot scrapers were a common tool used to clean off the bottoms of one's shoes before entering a house. There are many remaining in NYC, but it's rare to find one out here in Greenpoint.

FIRST CONSTRUCTION RELATED MODEL I EVER MADE. This Miskin scraper was my first try at making construction equipment. This was built about three years ago . It is now in Travis Mclendon's toy collection in Hawkinsville, Ga. It is the only Miskin model I have built .

Went to Sydney today with Glen and Punk. We went to the Aquarium and wondered around for a while and saw the sharks and dugong and then we had to walk to the Gateway. At practically the other end of the city! The whole point of going down was because I had to go there to put me biometrics in for my visa application! But it was still a pain to walk all that way in the heat! It took 5 mins to do that and then we walked all the way back again and went to the wildlife world next door to the aquarium! That was really cool to though! I like the butterfly enclosure where the butterflies would come land on you! Very steamy in that enclosure though! The boys slept the whole way home on the train!
This building was designed, built and photographed by Dennis Anderson.
Here is a far away shot to give a better idea of just how big this building is! Dennis did a GREAT job on this building!
I guess they're called boot scrapers these days. But there are still horses on the streets of old town, Philadelphia.
The building on the left was originally called the Guaranty Building, but has been renamed the Prudential Building. It was designed by Louis Sullivan and was built in 1896. For its time it was a very tall (13 floors) and modern building and it's considered an example of early skyscraper design. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has also been designated a National Historic Landmark. The exterior of the building is made of terra cotta.
The top floor's round windows is a similar feature to the Santa Fe Building in Chicago, another early skyscraper.
I don't remember what the building on the right is. Anyone know?
