Stonehenge is a prehistoric megalithic structure on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones, held in place with mortise and tenon joints, a feature unique among contemporary monuments. Inside is a ring of smaller bluestones. Inside these are free-standing trilithons, two bulkier vertical sarsens joined by one lintel. The whole monument, now ruinous, is aligned towards the sunrise on the summer solstice and sunset on the winter solstice. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the densest complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).

I’m getting a bit addicted to my 16mm close-ups. It is just amazing what kind shots I come home with.
The lovely structures on the beach find a mirror in the sky above.
We arrived at Crystal Mill. The beauty of this old structure was amazing. It is known as one of the most photographed historic sites in Colorado. I must admit, I took my fair share of photos too!
Crystal was incorporated in 1881. At its peak it had 400 residents, two newspapers, a pool hall, a men’s club, barber shop and two hotels. By 1915 only eight people lived in Crystal. Today there is a general store, public outhouse and several cabins available for short term rent. The few residents live in Crystal during the summer months only. We didn’t walk to the townsite of Crystal. It was starting to drizzle and we had a long hike and ride back.

A detail of the Academy of the Arts in Berlin, which is, in my belief, a wonderful architecture - unlike the newer building close to the Brandenburg Gate.
Also I love this tiny camera. Always to have with me, extremely fast to shoot with and still under my control.

Electric power companies tend to build large and very heavy, structurally sound buildings because they sometimes contain elements like transformers that deal in very large amounts of energy. It is protection and strength, in case of a malfunction. Photograph taken in Sacramento, California.
The Grade I Listed Conwy Town Walls which were built along with Conwy Castle by King Edward I between 1283 and 1287 at the combined cost of £15,000, (approximately £7.6 million in today's money). In Conwy, Conwy County, North Wales.
Before the English construction of the town of Conwy, the site was occupied by Aberconwy Abbey, a Cistercian monastery favoured by the Welsh princes. The site also controlled an important crossing point over the river Conwy between the coastal and inland areas of North Wales and was defended for many years by Deganwy Castle. The English kings and Welsh princes had vied for control of the region since the 1070s and the conflict had been renewed during the 13th century, leading to Edward I intervening in North Wales for the second time during his reign in 1282.
Edward invaded with a huge army, pushing north from Carmarthen and westwards from Montgomery and Chester. Edward captured Aberconwy in March 1283 and decided that the location would form the centre of a new county: the abbey would be relocated eight miles inland and a new English castle and walled town would be built on the monastery's former site. The ruined castle of Deganwy was abandoned and never rebuilt. Edward's plan was a colonial enterprise and placing the new town and walls on top of such a high-status native Welsh site was in part a symbolic act to demonstrate English power.
The walls of Conwy were built at around the same time as the castle itself, under the overall supervision of Master James of Saint George, Edward's chief architect in North Wales. Huge amounts of labourers were mobilised from across England for the task, massed at Chester and then brought into Wales for each summer building season.
The walls were declared part of a UNESCO world heritage site in 1986 and are classed as a grade 1 listed building and hold scheduled monument status. They are considered by historians Oliver Creighton and Robert Higham to be "one of the most impressive walled circuits" in Europe.
