The Dade County Courthouse in Trenton, Georgia was constructed in 1926 by Barrett Construction Company from Dalton, GA. The building and land all lie within an oval shaped area in the middle of a round-about with a knee-high rock wall surrounding the entire site. As the center of local government in the small town of Trenton it is a focal point for the dissemination of political information and insures the safety of official records. This design and its site on the small square in the center of town resembles the early Carpenter Style in North Georgia as seen in other early courthouses like Dawson & White counties. The cross plan has two stories over a basement. The most interesting architectural feature is the stepped gables at each end of the building. The paired rectangular windows that encircle the structure feature one lintel per pair, of brick and stone, giving a striped effect; end voissoirs & the keystone are of white stone and emphasized. The ends of the building are emphasized by projecting square pillars and both interior chimneys remain.
For its significance to Dade County and Trenton, this beautiful courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980. All of the information above was found on the original nomination form that can be viewed here: npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail/08e7518c-7c9d-4333-84c...

The mortuary temple of Hatshepsut (Egyptian: Ḏsr-ḏsrw meaning "Holy of Holies") is a mortuary temple built during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Located opposite the city of Luxor, it is considered to be a masterpiece of ancient architecture. Its three massive terraces rise above the desert floor and into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Hatshepsut's tomb, KV20, lies inside the same massif capped by El Qurn, a pyramid for her mortuary complex. At the edge of the desert, 1 km (0.62 mi) east, connected to the complex by a causeway, lies the accompanying valley temple. Across the river Nile, the whole structure points towards the monumental Eighth Pylon, Hatshepsut's most recognizable addition to the Temple of Karnak and the site from which the procession of the Beautiful Festival of the Valley departed. Its axes identify the temple's twin functions: its central east-west axis served to receive the barque of Amun-Re at the climax of the festival, while its north-south axis represented the life cycle of the pharaoh from coronation to rebirth.
The terraced temple was constructed between Hatshepsut's seventh and twentieth regnal years, during which building plans were repeatedly modified. In its design, it was heavily influenced by the adjacent Temple of Mentuhotep II of the Eleventh Dynasty built six centuries earlier.[d] In the arrangement of its chambers and sanctuaries, though, the temple is wholly unique. The central axis, customarily reserved for the mortuary complex, is occupied instead by the sanctuary of the barque of Amun-Re, with the mortuary cult being displaced south to form the auxiliary axis with the solar cult complex to the north. Separated from the main sanctuary are shrines to Hathor and Anubis, which lie on the middle terrace. The porticoes that front the terrace here host the most notable reliefs of the temple; those of the expedition to the Land of Punt and the divine birth of Hatshepsut, the backbone of her case to rightfully occupy the throne as a member of the royal family and as godly progeny. Below, the lowest terrace leads to the causeway and the valley temple.
The state of the temple has suffered over time. Two decades after Hatshepsut's death, under the direction of Thutmose III, references to her rule were erased, usurped, or obliterated. The campaign was intense but brief, quelled after two years when Amenhotep II was enthroned. The reasons behind the proscription remain a mystery. A personal grudge appears unlikely as Thutmose III had waited twenty years to act. Perhaps the concept of a female king was anathema to ancient Egyptian society, or a dynastic dispute between the Ahmosid and Thutmosid lineages needed resolving. In the Amarna Period, the temple was incurred upon again when Akhenaten ordered the images of Egyptian gods, particularly those of Amun, to be erased. These damages were repaired subsequently under Tutankhamun, Horemheb and Ramesses II. An earthquake in the Third Intermediate Period caused further harm. During the Ptolemaic period, the sanctuary of Amun was restructured, and a new portico was built at its entrance. A Coptic monastery of Saint Phoibammon was built between the 6th and 8th centuries AD, and images of Christ were painted over original reliefs. The latest graffito left is dated to c. 1223.
The temple resurfaces in the records of the modern era in 1737 with Richard Pococke, a British traveller, who visited the site. Several visitations followed though serious excavation was not conducted until the 1850s and 60s under Auguste Mariette. The temple was fully excavated between 1893 and 1906 during an expedition of the Egypt Exploration Fund (EEF) directed by Édouard Naville. Further efforts were carried out by Herbert E. Winlock and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MMA) from 1911 to 1936, and by Émile Baraize and the Egyptian Antiquities Service (now the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA)) from 1925 to 1952. Since 1961, the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology (PCMA) has carried out extensive consolidation and restoration works throughout the temple, and it was opened to the public in March 2023.

This massive steel trestle over the Oldman River was designed by the Canadian Pacific Railway's bridge department in Montreal. The field work was directed by CPR's Assistant Chief Engineer John Edward Schwitzer. The steel work was manufactured by the Canadian Bridge Company of Walkerville, Ontario. A 100 man gang worked on the erection of the steel. Although there were some initial problems with settlement, the bridge has proved to be an enduring engineering work and is still in use today.
This bridge is the largest railway structure in Canada.[citation needed] It was built as part of a major diversion of the Crowsnest Pass route between Lethbridge and Fort Macleod. The river crossing was previously over a wooden trestle measuring 894 m (2,933 ft) long and 20 m (66 ft) high; an impressive structure in its own right.

Completed in 2004 across the gorge valley of the Tarn.
As of September 2020, it is the tallest bridge in the world, having a structural height of 336.4 metres (1,104 ft). The P2 pier of the Viaduct is the tallest structure in France, taller even than the Eiffel tower.

What is power? What exactly does it mean to be powerful? Power, or authority, is generally viewed as endemic to social beings, to humans. The nature of power can exist without coercion, keeping us safe and preventing riots and social instabilities, consequently making it legitimate in the social structures of society. Nevertheless, the nature of power also has the capability of creating evil, of constraining others, of being a force of pure domination. Power cannot be touched, it is not a physical entity and yet we cower from it, we hide from it, we obey it blindly. Power can, and will, corrupt if not exercised wisely. You see power can be created, it does not always have to be earned. For things like money can breed power. Influence can breed power. Looks can breed power and self glorification, illusion, can even breed power, and it is the people whom have acquired these things which we then allow to exercise dominance over us.
When power is striped from a figure of cultural dominance we either see them crumble under the loss, accept their fate as a fallen figure, or continue to stand, unmoving in the false impression of a supremacy to hold on to. It has been said that the most prevailing illusion created is that of power itself. Even in a world of chaos, where there is nothing left but ash, someone undoubtedly will stand up and claim it theirs. When a discussion of power takes place we must ask ourselves the fundamental question; who is it we should trust with such power?
“Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.” - Blaise Pascal

Clear Creek Second Outlet Channel and Gated Structure
Located near S.H. 146 just north of the Clear Lake natural outlet at Kemah/Seabrook, the Clear Creek second outlet channel was built to allow the discharge of watershed runoff from Clear Lake into Galveston Bay so lake levels are not increased due to a proposed upstream Clear Creek channel enlargement. Gates were included to reduce sediment inflow into the channel, lessen impacts of currents on navigation adjacent to the second outlet channel, and to prevent changes in tidal inflow and salinity intrusion through the second outlet from causing changes to the existing hydraulic and environmental conditions of Clear Lake.
The gates do not provide tidal or hurricane protection for lakeside or Clear Creek communities.

I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
