The Alster Tower is often referred to as the Playhouse.
Completed in 1899, the Alster Tower is the most architecturally unique structure on Heart Island that was modeled after a Rhineland defense tower in Germany and purposely constructed with slanting and uneven walls, ceilings, and roofs. With a two-lane bowling alley, Kitchen, Billiard Room, Venetian Room, Library, Shell-Room and Theatre, George Boldt wanted to create the ideal atmosphere for recreational activities. Unlike the main Castle, the Boldt family used the tower up until the time of Louise’s death in 1904.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

La tour Alster est souvent appelée le théâtre.
Achevée en 1899, la tour Alster est la structure architecturalement la plus unique de l’île Heart. Elle a été conçue d'après une tour de défense de Rhénanie en Allemagne et a été volontairement construite avec des murs, des plafonds et des toits inclinés et irréguliers. Avec une salle de quilles à deux pistes, une cuisine, une salle de billard, une salle vénitienne, une bibliothèque, une salle des coquillages et un théâtre, George Boldt voulait créer l'atmosphère idéale pour les activités récréatives. Contrairement au château principal, la famille Boldt a utilisé la tour jusqu'à la mort de Louise en 1904.
Inscrite au registre national des lieux historiques en 1978.

This structure is what is left of the largest silver stamp mill of it's time. Blair, Nevada was a boom town of 700 people from 1906 to 1915. Low grade ore caused the town to go bust. Inside, graffiti dating back to the 1940's covers the walls.

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 took a ferry one day from Buenos Aires to Colonia, hearing it was an amazing place to walk, what with the old colonial structures. Turned out to be a small town with not a lot to see or do. But there were some preserved old homes/structures like this one. Makes me think of the sound of rain on a tin roof. Also the meal we enjoyed in Colonia was our favorite of the whole trip.
These partially restored structures stand in the most densely built-up part of Machu Picchu, which is believed to have had a population of less than 1000 people. The site dates from the 1400s, and was “re-discovered” in 1911 (local farmers were using the terraces even then).

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.
Winter Canal is a canal in Saint Petersburg, Russia, connecting Bolshaya Neva with Moika River in the vicinity of Winter Palace.
The canal was dug in 1718–19. It is only 228 metres (748 ft) long, which makes it one of the shortest canals in the city. The width is about 20 metres (66 ft).
The granite embankment was built in 1782–84, and railings designed by sculptor I.F.Dunker were added at the same time. The special picturesqueness to the canal is added by the arch connecting Old Hermitage and Hermitage Theater, built by architect Yury Felten next to the Hermitage Bridge.

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.

Concrete things with holes in them, at the edge of a Lincolnshire field. I don't know what these things are. There are several of them in one location, quite big, probably been there a long time and no obvious purpose. One on its own might have been an artwork I suppose. Get the sun behind one of them and you can make silly effects.
