Built in the Nineteenth Century, this little red brick and weatherboard cottage may be found in the small alpine town of Wandiligong.
Proudly it sits behind its white picket fence with wooden posts, simple and elegant. It features a corrugated iron roof and a verandah to help keep the cottage cool and shady during the warmer summer months. It also has two rather sturdy red brick chimneys with elegant capping. It once would have been the cottage home of one of the many miners that panned for gold during the Victorian Gold Rush.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.

Grantham, Lincolnshire — aerial view over the town and St Wulfram’s Church
This broad aerial panorama looks north across Grantham, the principal market town of south Lincolnshire, surrounded by the rolling farmland of the Vale of Belvoir. Dominating the skyline is the magnificent spire of St Wulfram’s Church, rising to 274 feet (83.5 m) — one of the tallest parish church spires in England and a landmark visible for miles across the county.
Grantham’s origins date back to Anglo-Saxon times, and it appeared in the Domesday Book of 1086. Its prosperity grew from its location on the Great North Road, the historic coaching route between London and York, and later from its railway connections on the East Coast Main Line, visible here at the bottom of the image.
In the 19th century, Grantham became a centre for engineering and agricultural innovation, home to Richard Hornsby & Sons, pioneers of the caterpillar track and early diesel engines. The town is also known as the birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton’s schooling (at the King’s School) and Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s first female Prime Minister.
From this perspective, you can see the compact medieval core around the church, surrounded by Georgian and Victorian terraces, industrial heritage along the railway, and newer suburban housing on the hills beyond. The surrounding patchwork of fields and wooded ridges gives a sense of how the town nestles within its agricultural landscape.
Today, Grantham has a population of about 45,000, balancing its historic character with growth as a commuter and market centre for the East Midlands.
Trying to get back into sketching, I managed to get out today and did this one, it took two sittings as it started to rain a bit. There is a new sidewalk bench which I used for the sitting - a must have for "urban sketching".

In its time, The Gooderham and Worts Distillery played an important role in the growth and wealth of both the city and nation. In addition to various involvements in real estate and banking, the company at one time contributed more to Federal coffers than any other enterprise in the country.

Richmond's Old City Hall was completed in 1894 in the High Victorian Gothic Style. It took eight years to build.
It was the city hall until the late 1970's.

Parque central-Puerto Plata
Es uno de los lugares de mayor atracción y de mayor proyección de Puerto Plata. Se tiene como uno de los símbolos más preciados de "Ciudad Plateada". Fue uno de los regalos a su pueblo del General Luperón durante el gobierno que encabezó en 1879.
La plaza está localizada en el mismo centro de la ciudad. Está rodeada de edificaciones muy hermosas y antiguas como el Ayuntamiento, la iglesia Católica, el Club de Comercio, las Casas de las Mellizas, el Bambú y la Casa del Italiano. En su centro tiene una glorieta y un quiosco que fue construido a fines del siglo XIX y representa la elegancia de la arquitectura victoriana; su estructura está conformada de dos plantas de forma octogonal, con una galería doble y corrida compuesta de arcos moriscos.5
Esta plaza fue uno de los primeros lugares recreativos del país. Se sembraron árboles y se hicieron jardines en su parque central, y se edificó una plataforma en la que continuamente se han ofrecido conciertos que han atraído a la población, como los conciertos de la Banda Musical Municipal, para que las actuales generaciones tengan una idea de la música que se escuchaba en épocas pasadas.
