Largest membrane structure in Europe. It is dismantled at the end of every summer and erected at the end of every winter.

I especially liked the architectural effort at Greek Thomson's old house

The present structure is actually the third Augustinian church erected on the site. The first San Agustin Church was the first religious structure constructed by the Spaniards on the island of Luzon. Made of bamboo and nipa, it was completed in 1571, but destroyed by fire in December, 1574 during the attempted invasion of Manila by the forces of Limahong. A second church made of wood was constructed on the site. This was destroyed in February 1583, in a fire that started when a candle set ablaze the drapes of the funeral bier during the interment of the Spanish Governor-General Gonzalo Ronquillo de Peñalosa.
The Augustinians decided to rebuild the church using stone, and to construct an adjacent monastery. Construction began in 1586, based on a design by Juan Macías.
The structure was built using hewn adobe stones quarried from Meycauayan, Binangonan and San Mateo, Rizal.
The work proceeded slowly due to the lack of funds and materials, as well as the relative scarcity of stone artisans. The monastery was operational by 1604, and the church was formally declared complete on January 19, 1607, and named St. Paul of Manila. San Agustin Church was looted by the British forces which occupied Manila in 1762 during the Seven Years' War. In 1854, the church was renovated under the supervision of architect Luciano Oliver. Nine years later, on June 3, 1863, the strongest earthquake at that time, hit Manila leaving widespread destruction to the city with San Agustin Church, the only public building left undamaged in the city. A series of strong earthquakes struck Manila again on 18–20 July 1880.
On August 18, 1898, the church was the site where Spanish Governor-General Fermin Jaudenes prepared the terms for the surrender of Manila to the United States of America following the Spanish-American War.
During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II, San Agustin Church was turned into a concentration camp for prisoners. In the final days of the Battle of Manila, hundreds of Intramuros residents and clergy were held hostage in the church by Japanese soldiers; many of the hostages would be killed during the three-week long battle. The church itself survived the flattening of Intramuros by American forces in May, 1945 with only its roof damaged, the only one of the seven churches in the walled city to remain standing. The adjacent monastery however was totally destroyed, and was later rebuilt in the 1970s as a museum under the design of architect Angel Nakpil.
The San Agustin Church is patterned after some of the magnificent temples built by the Augustinians in Mexico, its present edifice was built in 1587, and completed, together with the monastery, in 1604.The atmosphere is medieval since “both church and monastery symbolize the majesty and equilibrium of a Spanish golden era.”
The massive structure of the church, the symmetry and splendor of the interiors (painted by two Italians who succeeded in producing trompe l'oeil), the profile of the mouldings, rosettes and sunken panels which appear as three-dimensional carvings, a baroque pulpit with the native pineapple as a motif, the grand pipe organ, the antechoir with a 16th-century crucifix, the choir seats carved in molave with ivory inlays of the 17th century and the set of 16 huge and beautiful chandeliers from Paris.
It is the tallest structure in China, the seventh-tallest structure in the world, and the third-tallest freestanding structure in the world.
The Bardenas Reales is a semi-desert natural region, or badlands, of some 42,000 hectares (100,000 acres) in southeast Navarre (Spain). The soils are made up of clay, chalk and sandstone and have been eroded by water and wind creating surprising shapes, canyons, plateaus, tabular structures and isolated hills, called cabezos. Bardenas lacks urban areas, vegetation is scarce and the many streams that cross the territory have a markedly seasonal flow, staying dry most of the year.
On30 Annual editor Chris Lane enjoys old structures as much as he enjoys old railroad cars, and his On30 layout will feature many fine examples such as this one. This styrene model is based on a house located in Silver Plume, Colorado. At one time it served at the volunteer firehouse and the door stored the horse-drawn fire engine. While Chris has freelanced the colors a bit, he reports the house is nevertheless a pretty faithful replica of the prototype using Grandt Line parts.
Chris joins Trevor on Episode 13.

Water management restoration efforts are planned for Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina, where $3.1 million in Hurricane Sandy resilience funding will repair or install 22 water control structures to reduce impacts of flood and fire in nearby Chesapeake and Suffolk, Virginia.

Monkey structure at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. This photo was taken with a Pentax ZX-50 film camera and the negative was scanned with an Epson Perfection V600 photo scanner.
The Tillamook structure in north Milwaukie will carry the light rail tracks from the west side of existing heavy rail tracks to the east side. One half of the structure can be seen under construction on the right side of the photo. The Springwater Corridor Trail bridge can be seen in the upper half of the photo where it crosses the railroad tracks. The SE Tacoma St/Johnson Creek MAX Station is at the top left.

This structure is about two feet tall and was built in front of the bunker mounds. It wasn't clear who built it or what its purpose is.
J’aime beaucoup ce genre de photo qui déroute les sens. Une photo qui nous fait demander ; mais qu’est-ce donc au juste ? Début de réponse :
je suis à la hauteur de la verrière de la Plaza St-Hubert - donc, à l’étage. Déjà, c’est pas un angle qui nous est familier puisque généralement, nous marchons sous la verrière. La verrière est givrée. Et il fait soleil. L’ombre de l’arbre se découpe sur la surface glacée et givrée. Dans le bas de la photo, nous apercevons la rue St-Hubert (et une automobile). La structure de métal qui supporte la verrière est bien visible. Et ô surprise, il y a un sac de plastique accrochée à cette structure.
