THE ENTRANCE TO TEIGNMOUTH HARBOUR HAS ALWAYS BEEN TREACHEROUS AND SHIPS EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY IN AVOIDING THE NESS ROCKS. IN THE EARLY 1840S TEIGNMOUTH HARBOUR COMMISSIONERS DECIDED TO ERECT A LIGHTHOUSE AS AN AID TO SHIPPING, AND A TOWER WAS BUILT OF BLOCKS OF LOCAL LIMESTONE DURING THE YEARS 1844 – 1845 WITH THE LIGHT BEING SHONE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 1845. THE LIGHTHOUSE IS A GRADE II LISTED BUILDING.
THE CIRCULAR GREY TOWER IS 28 FEET HIGH WITH WALLS 2 FEET THICK. INSIDE IS A SPIRAL STONE STAIRCASE RUNNING AROUND THE SIDES UNTIL IT REACHES THE LIGHT, WHICH IS EXHIBITED 34 FEET ABOVE HIGH WATER. ORIGINALLY THERE WERE STEPS LEADING UP TO THE SMALL ACCESS DOOR, BUT THESE HAVE BEEN REMOVED WHEN THE GROUND AROUND WAS LEVELLED. THE LIGHT IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A FIXED RED LIGHT AND IS REALLY A BEACON OR LEADING LIGHT.
WHEN THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS FIRST BUILT THERE WAS CRITICISM ABOUT THE LIGHT’S EFFICIENCY, BUT THE MATTER WAS REFERRED TO AN ADMIRALTY COURT OF ENQUIRY, WHO PROCLAIMED BOTH THE EQUIPMENT AND THE STRUCTURE SATISFACTORY. THE LIGHTHOUSE HAS NEVER HAD A KEEPER, RESIDENT OR OTHERWISE; NEVER BEEN OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND BECAUSE OF ITS SIZE, HAS MISTAKENLY BEEN REFERRED TO IN GUIDES AS A TOY LIGHTHOUSE. HOWEVER IT IS NOT; IT IS A REAL NAVIGATIONAL AID.

Part of a lock system that protects New Orleans and other cities from the rising Mississippi. This is a crane that lifts huge doors that flood the Morganza Spillway into the Atchafalaya Basin which diverts the water away from New Orleans.
The current cathedral is built on the site of at least two previous structures dedicated to Finbarr of Cork. The first dated from the 7th century, with works continuing through the 12th century. This building was damaged during the Siege of Cork (1690), and a new structure was built in 1735 - though elements of the earlier spire were retained.
This structure remained until the 1860s, when a competition for the building of a new larger cathedral was held 1862. In February 1863, the designs of the architect William Burges was declared the winner of the competition to build a new cathedral of St Fin Barre. His diary records his reaction - "Got Cork!" - whilst the cathedral accounts record the payment of the winning prize sum of £100. Building work took seven years before the first service was held in the cathedral in 1870. Building, carving and decoration continued into the 20th century, long after Burges's death in 1881.
The style of the building is Early French, Burges's favoured period and a style he continued to favour throughout his life, choosing it for his own home, The Tower House, in Kensington. The stipulated price for construction was to be £15,000, a sum vastly exceeded. The total cost came to significantly over £100,000. Burges was "unconcerned" (his own words) in his letter of January 1877 to the Bishop of Cork: "(In the future) the whole affair will be on its trial and, the elements of time and cost being forgotten, the result only will be looked at. The great questions will then be, first, is this work beautiful and, secondly, have those to whom it was entrusted, done it with all their heart and all their ability."
Burges oversaw all aspects of the design, including the architecture of the building, the statuary, the stained glass and the internal decoration. The result is "undoubtedly Burges's greatest work in ecclesiastical architecture".

The grounds of Hiyoshi Taisha has several structures--at one time as many as 108. This is Usa Shrine, located between the main shrine areas.
Hiyoshi Taisha is dedicated to Sanno Gongen, the deity of Mount Hiei, and dates back to 806. The shrine is located at the base of the mountain in Sakamoto near the shores of Lake Biwa. Because of its proximity to Hieizan, it has always been associated with Enryaku-ji. The shrine was destroyed in 1571 when Nobunaga eliminated the Enryaku-ji monks, but it was rebuilt soon after.

On Scene with the Bridgeport Fire Department with a structure fire at 88 Horace St. Crews were called for a fire in the upper floors of a 2.5 story OMD. The first due engine and truck found the second floor and attic well involved with heavy fire coming out of the second floor porch. A special call was put in for addional engines and the safety officer due to the extent of the fire and the summer heat. The fire was knocked down in about 30 minutes but the structure required extensive overhaul to be sure all of the fire was extinguished. Representatives of the City's Fire Investigation Unit responded to process the scene and interview any and all witnesses to the fire. Though several families and thier pets were displaced no injuries were reported as a result of this fire.

The 1st Edition OS Map has
Dail-a'-chirn shown at NH 31257 05640 - now just a ruin. The present building at NH 31256 05626 is not shown but the enclosure at NH 31272 05624 is there.
There is a Sheepfold at NH 31286 05720 but the more modern Achadh nan Darach at NH 31286 05720 is not shown and neither is the Byre behind it.
Achadh nan Darach is shown along with what seems to be the sunken walled enclosure to the East of it.
Also a building at NH 31526 05611 with two tracks approaching from the East.

The 2nd Edition OS Maps has
Dail-a-chuirn now has the present day building at NH 31256 05626. The earlier building at NH 31257 05640 might now be further East with West end unroofed.
Achadh nan Darach now has the house at NH 31286 05720 with the Byre behind and the Sheepfold as before. These are connected to Dail a Chuirn by a footbridge.
The building at NH 31472 05544 might now be shown unroofed, still the enclosure to the East.
The building at NH 31526 05611 might still be roofed with perhaps something at the East end.

Present day (May 2014)
Dail a'Chuirn
Still roofed but full of mud. Two rooms inside. Enclosure to the East.
The building behind is a ruin.
Achadh nan Darach
This is connected to Dail a'Chuirn by a foorbridge. The building is used as a bothy and has the walls and ceiling at the top of the stairs covered in newspaper and magazine cuttings from the earlyu 1940s mainly.
Byre behind still in use for storage.
Sheepfold very overgrown and behind fence so little can be seen of it.
A path goes South East towards the original Achadh nan Darach site. This is partly in raised on a small embankment 5000MM long and partly in a cutting. The embankment passes over a small stream at NH 31382 05620, it is about 1450MM wide. The culvert is a section about 500MM high.
At the end of the path is circular raised clearing about 4300MM diameter at NH 31391 08608. To the West of this is a circular structure at NH 31387 05605. This is about 1800MM diameter and about 700MM high.
The ruin which appears to be the original Achadh nan Darach is about 9300MM x 4000MM.
The other ruin at NH 31530 05600 is about 4300MM x 11700MM.

Ming Hu's ARCH 465 class created origami structures and tested which could carry the heaviest loads.
This lovely structure was originally built in 1845, making it one of the state's five functioning antebellum courthouses. The other four are located in Adams, Amite, Hinds (at Raymond), and Monroe counties.
However, the structure was remodeled in 1903 by M. T. Lewman & Co. of Louisville using the Beaux-Arts designs of prominent courthouse architect Andrew J. Bryan.
It is contributing property to the Market Street-Suburb Sainte Mary Historic District, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Ich hatte neulich einen Termin in Bremen, wo ich gemäß Google-Maps ganz in der Nähe vom Universum Bremen (eine Art Wissenschafts-Dauerausstellung für Familien und Schulklassen) wäre.
Nun, es stellte sich heraus ich war sogar genau nur einen Steinwurf entfernt, und auch wenn ich nicht hineingehen konnte nahm ich ein paar Fotos mit.
