Loud under 'planes and over changing gear.</i>

Taken with the drone. I think this one will be inducted into my Best of 2023 images. I really like it. Of the dozens (hundreds?) of photos I've taken at Point Fermin Park over the years, this is the first from this perspective. (well, up farther in the air because of the drone of course.)
Workers are renovating again. You can see one of them down at the gate on the left bottom. The Bobcat crane is to the left out of the picture. I was here the day before and it was up against the building.
Since it's perch is right on the edge of the point, this little Victorian lighthouse gets pounded by the weather and needs a touch up every now and then to keep it looking fresh.
EDIT: Explored at 171 on 12/13/23. Thank you so very much to everyone who views, faves, follows, and comments on my images! 🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖💖🎁🎁🎁🎁🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😮😮😮😮😁😁😁😁
Radical and confident in her design, this cottage uses similar motifs to her church, arched windows with rows of much smaller arched windows above.

At over 1,000 feet long it was part of the largest textile mill complex in the world when it opened in 1872 along the Mohawk River. Today the mill has been repurposed into living space. Cohoes, New York.
New Street in the Somerset village of Mells (pop. 628), leading to the parish church of St Andrew, was originally laid out for Abbot Selwood around 1470, part of a plan for a cruciform village of centre of which this was the completed element.
Number 6, nearest to camera, is perhaps the most intact, 1470 survival, subject only to minor alterations in the 19th and 20th Centuries. Next to it, the former schoolhouse, with its stonecarved emblem on the wall, may be Tudoresque, but dates only to 1887. Further down the street are further houses from Abbot Selwood’s day, although more extensively altered or rebuilt in the 19th Century.
Necropolis Cemetery is on the East side of Cabbagetown. The restored cemetery entrance, chapel and office are fine examples of High Victorian Gothic architecture.
The Liverpool Queen Victoria District Nursing Association was founded on the 8th February 1898. This building stands on Princes Road , Toxteth , Liverpool .
The plaque says " Liverpool Queen Victoria District Nursing Association . This central home was erected by the David Lewis Trust to promote the completion in this city of the system of nursing the poor in their own homes and in commemoration of the Queen's long and beneficent reign ".
The building which now houses Belfast's Malmaison Hotel on Victoria Street was originally two buildings. They were both built 1867-8, designed by William Hastings and built by the Fitzpatrick Brothers.
They housed seed merchants which continued to operate from the buildings until relocating in the early 1970s. Then the buildings were acquired by DoE Roads Service in 1975 and were extraordinarily proposed for demolition to enable road widening until DoE Historic Buildings branch listed both in 1981.
Landmark Hotels (Dublin) acquired the buildings and carried out extensive refurbishment works, combining both buildings and converting to a 60 bedroom hotel, the McCausland Hotel which opened in 1998 before becoming Malmaison in 2004. VIctoria Street is part of Belfast's inner ring road, carrying lot of traffic in a one-way system, and given the marshy ground in this part of the city, it creates a lot of vibration.
Beaumanor Hall, Woodhouse, near Loughborough, Leicestershire - aerial photograph
Beaumanor Hall is a grand Victorian country house on the edge of Charnwood Forest, just outside Loughborough. The present building was completed in the mid-1840s for William Perry Herrick, whose family had held the estate for centuries. It was designed by the architect William Railton, best known for Nelson’s Column in London, and built in a richly detailed Jacobean Revival style — all tall gables, clustered chimneys and mullioned windows, set in landscaped parkland crossed by Beacon Brook.
Earlier houses had stood on this same site since medieval times, and the name “Beaumanor” — meaning “beautiful manor” — has been used since the 14th century. The Herricks were long established landowners and benefactors in the area, known for their charitable works and strong local influence.
During the Second World War, Beaumanor took on a secret life. Requisitioned by the War Office, it became one of Britain’s covert “Y Stations” — a listening post that intercepted enemy radio traffic. Teams of mainly young women from the Auxiliary Territorial Service worked around the clock in small disguised huts scattered through the estate, copying coded Morse transmissions that were then sent to Bletchley Park for decryption. Their work was vital to the success of Allied intelligence but remained secret for decades.
After the war, Beaumanor was bought by the government and later passed to Leicestershire County Council, who use it today as an educational and events centre. The hall and its 34 acres of grounds are now a Grade II* listed heritage site, beautifully preserved as one of the county’s finest examples of Victorian domestic architecture, with a remarkable wartime story hidden behind its stately façade.
Due to warm weather and an ice jam break-up the Mohawk River has overflowed its banks and is flooding low-lying areas of the Stockade Historic District in Schenectady, New York.
We visited Washington, DC, on our vacation in 1984.
I took several pictures of the Victorian architecture in the city.
I thought the corner clock tower was quite attractive.
St. Louis Cathedral is located in downtown Fort de France, the capital of the French Caribbean island of Martinique.
The cathedral was completed in 1895 in the Romanesque Revival style.

From the building's website: "Originally built in 1881 as The Kasson Opera House, it had seating for 1400 and was a cultural hub for the entire area." In more recent times the building has been thoroughly restored and repurposed. Gloversville, New York.

349 Princess Avenue
Princess Terrace built c 1886
Terrace housing or row housing
is a very traditional British custom.
In Ontario, this form of housing
was only found in larger urban
areas. Late 19th century (High
Victorian) in style, the roof-line
is broken by three gables with
decorative wooden details and
round windows.
Renovated a number of years ago,
the old porches were removed
because they were infested with
carpenter ants. The pattern of
the brick and the form of the
chimneys establish that the buildings were constructed in the latter
portion of the 19th century.
The pier was opened in 1877 and no longer exists but this entrance does. Known locally as "The Castle". The original pier cost £12,000 and was said to be modelled on the gateway to Conway Castle. There is a local group hoping to re-build the pier. View is from the beach and is of half the entrance.
