This lovely old watermill is Grade II-listed and known as Woodford Mill. It is in the valley of the River Nene, and is at the side the the Ringstead to Great Addington road. According to British Listed Buildings, the watermill with its associated cottage probably dates from the mid-1700s. A tea room and restaurant has been operating from these premises for many years, but I understand the restaurant has recently been moved elsewhere to obtain more space.

It was designed by architect Richard Rogers and built between 1978 and 1986. Bovis were the management contractor for the scheme. [1] Like the Pompidou Centre (designed by Renzo Piano and Rogers), the building was innovative in having its services such as staircases, lifts, electrical power conduits and water pipes on the outside, leaving an uncluttered space inside. The 12 glass lifts were the first of their kind in the UK.

Machu Picchu 20221127
The structures of Machu Picchu were constructed with stones that seem to have been molded as if before hardening had been made of clay. All this skillful Inca stonework has made this Inca site worth visiting at one point in your life. Visiting Machu Picchu will make you admire the Inca architecture and hydraulic engineering. The structures were carefully designed and placed facing celestial bodies and also outlining mountains.

These small circular rock pools, only a few feet across, are built by local beach-goers. Resembling miniature loko (fishponds) of old, these modern-day constructions are built by fishermen to keep their catch alive. They also are used by families as a "kiddie pool" for toddlers.

The Ribeira do Moinho comes out of a small canyon on the North end of Flores Island in the Azores near the ruins of an old structure, probably a mill. The stream located in the parish of Ponta Delgada (Flores) originates on Morro Alto at an altitude of around 900 meters in an area of high rainfall. In addition to the runoff, it is fed by two springs, one in Pico da Burrinha and the other, the highest flowing one on Morro Alto, which is the highest point on the island of Flores. Though the flow was low on this day, during stormy periods because of its large drainage basin, Ribeira do Moinho can carry a lot of water. It has one of the highest average flow rates of all the streams on Flores. Its stream flows into the Atlantic Ocean near a place called Terra da Costa, between Ilhéu Francisco (east) and Ponta do Albarnaz (west).

The "Temple of Janus" is a cultic structure of Romano-Celtic design located in Autun, Saône-et-Loire, France, to the North-West of the ancient city of Augustodunum.
The temple lies in the centre of a vast sanctuary, whose extent and complexity was revealed by excavations conducted from 2013 to 2016, on a site whose history goes back to Neolithic times, and which experienced an important phase of monumental constructions in the 1st Century AD. The temple was abandoned at the onset of the Early Middle Ages, and its structures were later reused in the fashioning of a Medieval defensive work. The temple has retained two sides of its square cella, at a height of over 20 metres, as well as vestiges of its ambulatory and side structure foundations. The temple's supposed dedication to the Roman god Janus is not based on any archaeological or historic fact, and the deity that was venerated in the temple is unknown.
The Temple of Janus was included on the first list of protected historical French monuments, established in 1840. (Wikipedia)
