Excerpt from english.cha.go.kr/html/HtmlPage.do?pg=/royal/RoyalPalaces...:
If one passes the garden at the rear of the Juhamnu Pavilion and walks down along the slope of the hill leading into the stairway, the person can find a square pond on the opposite side and a pavilion on the north bank of the pond. This is the Aeryeonjeong, which is composed of only 1 kan. Looking out of the windows of the pavilion, one can enjoy a wonderful view. It looks like just a framed picture, owing to the decorations attached to the upper part of the pillars. Of course, the mood of the picture depends on the season. In particular, the stone structure, through which water comes into the pond, is opposite excellent in beauty and technique of design.

Every year, the city of Gloucester, MA, builds a "Christmas Tree" from green lobster traps stacked into a conical structure. (Early trees were built from wooden traps, which have been replaced over the years by traps made of coated wire mesh.) The traps and labor are donated, and scores of children paint hundreds of lobster trap buoys that will decorate the outside, in addition to lighting.
400 traps are being used this year, in honor of the city's 400th anniversary, making this year's tree much larger than past ones. Open door frames are built in at ground level, so anyone can walk inside, look up, and gape. Here, the volunteer crew is closing in on the top after most of a day of work.

I considered posting the photo with no explanation but decided to be charitable.

Like a lot of places in Southern Germany Bad Friedrichshall grew rich on salt mining. Indeed, places ending with "hall" regularly indicate the presence of former salt mines.
While for most places, salt mining is a thing of the past, Bad Friedrichshall still has an operational salt mine. During the summer - on weekends and public holidays, it's also open to visitors. Some of the cavernous places in the mines have been converted to other uses. One of them is an underground chapel - complete with a church pulpit and a shrine plus some illuminated structures of salt. It's quite magnificent. Unfortunately, I could not quite capture the vastness of the place with the camera.
Balboa Pier, Newport Beach, CA
Newport Beach, CA
The Balboa Pier was constructed in 1906 as a sister project of the Balboa Pavilion. The Newport Bay investment Company wanted to attract lot buyers to an undeveloped spit of sandy land now called the Balboa Peninsula. In order to do so, they built both the Balboa Pavilion and the Balboa Pier. These two structures were built to coincide with the opening of the southern terminus of the Pacific Electric Railway Red Car line from Long Beach to the Balboa Peninsula. The plan worked; multitudes of beachgoers flocked to Balboa, and many purchased lots.
The pier is a popular fishing spot. The fish caught from the pier consist mostly of mackerel and flounder. Additionally, the pilings are home to a large population of starfish that feed on the large colonies of mussels growing there, and are easily spotted at low tide. Fishermen catching starfish by mistake are a relatively common sight.
In the 1980s, the first of Orange County's famous Ruby's Diner restaurants opened on the pier. The 1940s nostalgia-themed restaurant has since become a famous Orange County landmark.
Balboa Pier Park
The pier was heavily damaged in the severe El Niño storms of 1998, which also destroyed the famous diamond-shaped Aliso Pier in Laguna Beach. One of the pillars was damaged, causing a partial collapse of one corner. The wooden posts have since been reinforced with steel sheathing and braces to prevent further damage.
Although taken over five years before I took the preceding shots of the westbound train, this shows the depot in its classic mineral red paint. Eventually the C&NW repainted it in the grey with white trim they were using on structures at the time (yes, I did document it after that, but chose this shot as it's got a better sky.) I suppose that the depot was used by the bridge and building forces since it was so far from anything else, and they finally got to budget for some improvements. Anyone need a well used truck? It's probably owned by a real cowboy, not the drugstore wannabe variety.

These cup-shaped structures serve the purpose of asexual propagation on Marchantia polymorpha. They form little discs of plant tissue that can be spread by water, for example, and grow into clones of the mother plant. You can see several of these gemmae having spilled out already and lying on top of the mother plant. This is one of the images I used in a focus stack here.
The Washington National Cathedral is an American cathedral of the Episcopal church.The structure is of Neo-Gothic design.It is the second largest church in the United States and the fourth tallest structure in Washinton D.C.Construction began on September 29th 1907 when the foundation stone was laid in the presence of President Theodore Roosevelt and a crowd of over 20000 people.It ended 83 years later when the 'final finial'was placed in the presence of President George W. Bush in 1990.The planners of the cathedral envisaged its role to be along the lines of the Westminster Abbey.
It was from the Canterbury Pulpit of this cathedral that Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his final Sunday sermon on 31st March 1968 a few days before his assassination in April 1968

how vulnerable and still are his movements in the busy city. the drawing of his face is like a map, much smaller than that of the city. he himself is also getting smaller in the disappearance of time.
I definitely have always had a goal to capture unique angles of San Francisco. I feel I am starting to finally narrow in on those. sfbay.photos

East Kent’s famous Guyitt House is no more, following its recent demolition.
Dubbed by some as the most photographed house in Canada, the house was ordered to be torn down by the municipality of Chatham-Kent due to safety concerns.
The house, more than 150 years old, was owned by Pete Anderson.
His grandparents Roy and Ethel Guyitt purchased the once grand old dame located near Muirkirk, in 1908.
