"The Kammerersmühle (other names: Burkhartmühle, Kammerers Mühle, crooked house) is a structure on the northeastern edge of the old town on the Wiesent River in Forchheim, Upper Franconia, Bavaria.
It was built in 1698 and was a water mill until 1910. Today there is a restaurant (“Kammerer's Mühle wine bar – restaurant”) with an inn garden on the ground floor.
The entire building is heavily inclined towards the river (leaning).
The half-timbered house is an architectural monument as an individual structure.
Forchheim (German pronunciation: [ˈfɔʁçhæɪ̯m]) is a town in Upper Franconia (German: Oberfranken) in northern Bavaria, and also the seat of the administrative district of Forchheim. Forchheim is a former royal city, and is sometimes called the Gateway to the Franconian Switzerland, referring to the region of outstanding natural beauty to the north east of the town. Nowadays Forchheim is most famous for its ten day long beer and music festival (Annafest) which takes place in late July in an idyllic wooded hillside, home to 24 beer gardens, on the outskirts of the town. Forchheim's population, as of December 2013, was 30,705, and its land area is 44.95 square kilometres (17.36 square miles). Its position is 49° 44' N, 11° 04' E and its elevation is 265 metres (869 feet) above sea level.
When the coat of arms was bestowed upon the town at the beginning of the 13th century, people wrongly believed that their town's name, "Vorchheim" originates from the Old High German word vorhe (“trout”). This resulted in the coat of arms showing two trout (above). Although the rivers around the town were certainly home to a great number of trout in those days, it seems likelier that the town's name was actually derived from the Old High German word vorha, forha (Föhre=“pine”). Hence, the name means “pine home” with a probability bordering on certainty.
The name most likely originates in the 7th century, when Frankish settlers first ensconced themselves in the region. They established many riverside towns with names ending in –heim.
Upper Franconia (German: Oberfranken) is a Regierungsbezirk (administrative [Regierungs] region [bezirk]) of the state of Bavaria, southern Germany. It forms part of the historically significant region of Franconia, the others being Middle Franconia and Lower Franconia, which are all now part of the German Federal State of Bayern (Bavaria).
With more than 200 independent breweries which brew approximately 1000 different types of beer, Upper Franconia has the world's highest brewery-density per capita. A special Franconian beer route (Fränkische Brauereistraße) runs through many popular breweries.
The administrative region borders on Thuringia (Thüringen) to the north, Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) to the west, Middle Franconia (Mittelfranken) to the south-west, and Upper Palatinate (Oberpfalz) to the south-east, Saxony (Sachsen) to the north-east and the Czech Republic to the east.
After the founding of the Kingdom of Bavaria the state was totally reorganized and, in 1808, divided into 15 administrative government regions (German: Regierungsbezirke (singular Regierungsbezirk)), in Bavaria called Kreise (singular: Kreis). They were created in the fashion of the French departements, quite even in size and population, and named after their main rivers.
In the following years, due to territorial changes (e. g. loss of Tyrol, addition of the Palatinate), the number of Kreise was reduced to 8. One of these was the Mainkreis (Main District). In 1837 king Ludwig I of Bavaria renamed the Kreise after historical territorial names and tribes of the area. This also involved some border changes or territorial swaps. Thus the name Mainkreis changed to Upper Franconia.
Next to the former episcopal residence city of Bamberg, the capital Bayreuth, the former residence city of Coburg and the classicist centre of Hof, as well as the towns of Lichtenfels, Kronach, Gößweinstein and Kulmbach, the Weißenstein Palace, Banz Abbey and the Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, the scenic attractions of the River Main and the low mountain ranges of the Fichtel Mountains with the town of Wunsiedel and the Franconian Forest belong among the region's major tourist attractions. There are also numerous spas like Bad Rodach, Bad Steben, Bad Staffelstein, Bad Berneck and Bad Alexandersbad.

Westminster Station Metro London UK - Hopkins Architects - 1999
The old Westminster Underground Station served only the shallow District and Circle London Underground lines. The arrival of the much deeper Jubilee Line extension and the construction of Portcullis House, the new Parliamentary Building, above required the resolution of a much more complex interchange to cope with the depth and axes of the lines, the positioning of the support for Portcullis House and the proximity to Big Ben and the River Thames.
The District and Circle lines cut across the site at an angle of 45 degrees. This has a major influence on both the planning and the structure. All elements such as walls, escalators and ticket barriers follow either the diagonal grid of the railway or the orthogonal grid of the building above.
The Ticket Hall is entered from the colonnade of Portcullis House and the lower level District and Circle line platforms. Below lies 30 m deep escalator box to the Jubilee line platforms. Travelling down the smooth stainless steel escalators that thread through, the Piranesian effect is heightened by views of the rough concrete of the box wall, framed by a massive diagrid of beams and buttresses, which also form the foundations of Portcullis House.

Custom buildings are not the easiest structures to build for a relative novice like myself. I originally was going to use Walthers' Modulars Kits for this project, but W.K. Walthers discontinued them. Therefore, I used DPM kits instead. The annex is a Pola Pickle Factory kit.
Chatham-Kent EMS 1133.
1133 is a Demers container on a Chevy Express chassis.
At around 1:00AM on Tuesday July 26, 2011, Chatham-Kent Fire Service Station 19 in Tilbury was dispatched for a structure fire on Queen St. According to witnesses, the fire was well developed, when the FD arrived. As usual, I missed any flames, or thick smoke, because of the distance from my house to the scene, which takes about 30 minutes worth of travel.

Title: Villa la Magia
Other title: Villa la Magia (Quarrata, Italy)
Creator: Buontalenti, Bernardo, 1536-1608
Creator role: Architect
Date: 16th-18th century
Current location: Quarrata, Pistoia, Tuscany, Italy
Description of work: This villa, formerly the fortified residence of the Panciatichi family, was bought by the grand-duke Francesco (de'Medici) in 1581, who commissioned Buontalenti to carry out rebuilding work. The property later passed into the hands of the Attavanti family, then to the Ricasoli and finally to the Amati-Cellesi Counts, the current owners. The villa's late-Renaissance features - a solid square building from which two corner towers protrude - are perfectly preserved. The facades, pierced by a regular series of windows with stone surrounds, recall the linear simplicity found on other designs by Buontalenti. The entrance to the park, which is full of oaks, Himalayan cedars, holm-oaks, plane trees, ginkgo biloba and black walnut trees, is through a gate with a masonrywork exedra adorned with pedimented columns. On the southern side of the villa is a Baroque-style garden, furnished with 17th-century works. Another attractive feature is the lake, added at a later stage both for ornamentation and for water storage purposes.

Carrickfergus Castle (from the Irish Carraig Ḟergus or "cairn of Fergus", the name "Fergus" meaning "strong man") is a Norman castle in Northern Ireland, situated in the town of Carrickfergus in County Antrim, on the northern shore of Belfast Lough. Besieged in turn by the Scottish, native Irish, English and French, the castle played an important military role until 1928 and remains one of the best preserved medieval structures in Northern Ireland. It was strategically useful, with 3/4 of the castle perimeter surrounded by water (although in modern times only 1/3 is surrounded by water due to land reclamation). Today it is maintained by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency as a state care historic monument.
The Castle was built by John de Courcy in 1177 as his headquarters, after he conquered eastern Ulster and ruled as a petty king until 1204, when he was ousted by another Norman adventurer, Hugh de Lacy. Initially de Courcy built the inner ward, a small bailey at the end of the promontory with a high polygonal curtain wall and east gate. It had several buildings, including the great hall. From its strategic position on a rocky promontory, originally almost surrounded by sea, the castle commanded Carrickfergus Bay, and the land approaches into the walled town that developed beneath its shadow.
It appears first in the official English records in 1210 when King John laid siege to it and took control of what was then Ulster's premier strategic garrison. Following its capture, constables were appointed to command the castle and the surrounding area. In 1217 the new constable, De Serlane, was assigned one hundred pounds to build a new curtain wall so that the approach along the rock could be protected, as well as the eastern approaches over the sand exposed at low tide. The middle-ward curtain wall was later reduced to ground level in the eighteenth century, save along the seaward side, where it survives with a postern gate and the east tower, notable for a fine array of cross-bow loops at basement level.
A chamber on the first floor of the east tower is believed to have been the castle's chapel on account of its fine Romanesque-style double window surround, though the original chapel must have been in the inner ward. The ribbed vault over the entrance passage, the murder hole and the massive portcullis at either end of the gatehouse are later insertions started by Hugh de Lacey who died in 1248 and did not live to see its completion in around 1250. It was finished by King Henry III. After the collapse of the Earldom of Ulster in 1333, the castle remained the Crown's principal residential and administrative centre in the north of Ireland. During the early stages of the Nine Years War, when English influence in the north became tenuous, crown forces were supplied and maintained through the town's port. And in 1597, the surrounding country was the scene for the Battle of Carrickfergus.
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries improvements were made to accommodate artillery, including externally splayed gunports and embrasures for cannon, though these improvements did not prevent the castle from being attacked and captured on many occasions during this time. Marshal Schomberg besieged and took the castle in the week-long Siege of Carrickfergus in 1689. This is also the place where Schomberg's leader, King William III first set foot in Ireland on 14 June 1690. In 1760, after fierce fighting in the town, it was surrendered to French invaders under the command of Francois Thurot. They looted the castle and town and then left, only to be caught by the Royal Navy.
In 1778, a small but significant event in the American War of Independence began at Carrickfergus, when John Paul Jones, in the face of reluctance by his crew to approach too close to the Castle, lured a Royal Navy vessel from its moorings into the North Channel, and won an hour-long battle. In 1797 the Castle, which had on various occasions been used to house prisoners of war, became a prison and it was heavily defended during the Napoleonic Wars; six guns on the east battery remain of the twenty-two that were used in 1811.
For a century it remained a magazine and armoury. During the First World War it was used as a garrison and ordnance store and during the Second World War as an air raid shelter.
It was garrisoned continuously for about 750 years until 1928, when its ownership was transferred from the British Army to the new Government of Northern Ireland for preservation as an ancient monument. Many of its post-Norman and Victorian additions were then removed to restore the castle's original Norman appearance. The banqueting hall has been fully restored and there are many exhibits to show what life was like in medieval times. It was built and re-built three times, and still stands today. On the day of his wedding, 29 April 2011, Prince William of Wales was created Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn, and Baron Carrickfergus. The latter title of peerage, along with the geographical barony itself, had been extinct since Victorian times. The title is now only ceremonial with no official connection to the castle.
The original wasn't as saturated and lighter, this looks a bit more dramatic and cinematic. Taken in Blackpool at the Pleasure Beach, however didn't have enough money so couldn't actually go in! I took this on the road beside it.
