Near Renfrew in Ontario, Canada, there is a ghost town named Balaclava. It use to be a saw-mill town. We decided to visit the place and take a few shots. I got myself shooting mostly windows and old wood and paint textures.
Unfortunately, one of the buildings has a sign on it saying that a permit was requested to destroy the general store building to transform it into a commercial lot.
Most of the shots got re-worked with Topaz Adjust 3 to enhance the colors and contrast.
Enjoy,
York Restoration Corporation building restoration example of an anodized aluminum window frame + window. These higher-technology window setups are amazing. When you replace your windows, the difference between before and after is simply astounding! If you're short on cash, try replacing the windows out of one of the rooms in your home, preferably, the one you spend the most time in (or the one that gets the most noise from outside.) You'll soon start saving for more new windows. Check out other tips from yorkrestoration.com/blog
Spotted this old window frame at the Hampton Arts and Crafts Festival on Mother's Day and immediately thought of the New Scavenger Hunt! :-)

Built between 1908 and 1912 to house workers in the backyard of their place of employment – the large smoke-churning Wieczorek (formerly ‘Giesche’) coal mine – the enclosed residential complex of Nikiszowiec is composed of six compact four-sided three-storey blocks with inner courtyards. Distinguished by its uniformity of style – red brick buildings accented with red-painted windowframing, and narrow streets joined by handsome arcades – the neighbourhood was designed by Georg and Emil Zillman of Berlin-Charlottenburg to be a completely self-sufficient community for 1,000 workers with a school, hospital, police station, post office, swimming pool, bakery and church. Thanks to WWI and the subsequent Silesian Uprisings – during which time Nikiszowiec saw fierce fighting, and was afterwards incorporated into Poland – St. Anne’s Church (Pl. Wyzwolenia 21) wasn’t able to be finished until 1927, but became the crowning glory of the neighbourhood as soon as it was. A welcome diversion from the smokestacks dominating the roofline of the district’s other side, this magnificent building incorporates Baroque design with two belltowers and a timepieced steeple, while blending into its surroundings without any of the ghastly and gratuitous exterior decoration associated with the style; make sure you take a stroll down ul. Św. Anny for the most photogenic views. If you’re lucky enough to get inside, take notice of the amazing 5,350 pipe organ and highly ornate Zillman chandelier. Though it would ironically seem be a socialist planners’ wet dream, Nikiszowiec actually makes a happy, handsome departure from the communist botch-job of downtown Katowice and has become a prized location for amateur photographers and budding filmmakers due to the fact that it has remained virtually unchanged since the Second World War. City marketers have also recognised the district’s uniqueness with increasing efforts to draw tourist attention to the area and a campaign afoot to fasten Nikiszowiec to the UNESCO Heritage List.

Two women holding up a wooden window frame. They have just finished constructing it, and are holding it up for the camera. The woman on the left is holding a hammer in her right hand. Behind them, a number of men and women are also standing looking at the camera. They are in a large yard bordered by sheds, and are surrounded by piles of lumber.
The letters Q.M.A.A.C. stand for Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps. During the war, women were involved in a wide variety of non-combatant roles ranging from nursing and driving ambulances to cooking and construction.

Lewes in Sussex has many lovely old buildings. With my friends DSLR I can capture those fragments that I couldn't with my my usual cheap compact.

Stayed in bed all morning; feeling really rough. Eventually got up and showered, but had to lie on the bed again for a while after. We'd been due to go to Tim's Mum's this weekend, but he cancelled yesterday (he was also getting a sore throat) - so he gave his Mum a call and had a long chat, and I called my Mum too - had a nice long chat with her.
Richard came and checked out the roof today, after yesterday's weird leak into the bathroom light - he confirmed that the gully was blocked with leaves, so he cleared that out, and a roofer will come to check for holes soon.
Eventually got dressed and moved to the sofa, and stayed there for the rest of the day. The weather was very entertaining today; after a wet and windy start, it brightened up, then tipped it down again, and then the sun burst out this afternoon, making for some lovely raindrop shadow patterns on our window frames. I didn't have enough energy to bother getting my 'proper' camera out, but took several shots on my phone instead.
Tim cooked us baked potatoes for dinner; I was grateful not to have to cook. Had a relaxing evening catching up on various bits of TV.
A door, #84a to be precise. Not the most original number, and actually the second #84 I shot. The first was another of the parking meter shots, but I rushed and the shot was beyond boring. Also, the text looks out of focus (it's not, but the lines aren't as sharp as I'd like). So instead, here's number 84 the door.

On the corner of busy Williams Road and quiet Rathmines Street in the exclusive Melbourne suburb of Toorak stand the "Park Manor" flat complex.
These wonderful Streamline Moderne brown brick flats with rounded porches and balconies, horizontally styled balustrades and Functionalist windowframes achieve the refreshingly sleek style that was popular worldwide in the mid to late 1930s. Unlike many Art Deco buildings which focussed on a vertical emphasis, Streamline Moderne buildings often featured horizontal emphasis. "Park Manor" does this through its semi circular design around the flat's central driveway, the horizontal windows along the wide expanses of bricks and the porches and balconies that extend from the centralised trapezoid tower.
As when they were built, these spacious flats are for the well-heeled citizens of Melbourne, and they are exceptionally well maintained.

Featuring a slate roofed tower, this building on the corner of Commercial Street and Radovick Street Korumburra is one of the local landmarks as presides over one side of oen of the town's busiest intersections.
Built in the early years of the Twentith Century, this building has been built in the Federation Free Classical style of architecture. Much has changed to the facade of the building as architectural styles and retail fashions changed over the subsequent century, however the upper storey remains mostly intact. Some of the architectural elements that identify it as Federation Free Classical style are; the use of contrasting materials to create interesting texture contrasts, a pediment to conceal the roofline, an arcade of arched windows and a prominent tower with classical detailing.
Korumburra is a medium-sized dairy and farming town in country Victoria, located on the South Gippsland Highway, 120 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. Surrounded by rolling green hills, the town has a population of a little over 4,000 people. Korumburra has built itself on coal mining (after the discovery of a coal seam in 1870), local forestry and dairy farming. Whilst the coal seam has been used up, farming in the area still thrives and a great deal of dairy produce is created from the area. The post office in the area opened on the 1st of September in 1884, and moved to the township on the railway survey line on the 1st of November 1889, the existing office being renamed Glentress. The steam railway connecting it with Melbourne arrived in 1891. Whilst the train line has long since operating commercially, it has found a new life as the popular tourist railway the South Gippsland Railway which operates a heritage railway service between the major country centre of Leongatha and the small market town of Nyora.
The oldest part of the present building at Astley Hall, Chorley, Lancashire, has been dated to around 1580, after Charnock Hall had been destroyed by fire and Robert Charnock came to live here. His grandson, also called Robert and nicknamed 'Captain One Eye' for his exploits during the Civil War, was the last in the Charnock male line. The Brooke family, who took over the Hall, carried out considerable alterations and extensions and by the end of the 17th century Astley Hall looked much as it does today, apart from the stucco put over the brickwork at a later date.
Many of Astley Hall's legends come from the time of the Civil War. In 1648 Oliver Cromwell is said to have spent the night here and the fourposter bed he slept in is still in the main bedroom. He even left a pair of his riding boots. His ghost has supposedly been seen at the Hall - perhaps in search of his lost boots?
Both visitors to and workers at Astley Hall have frequently been witness to ghostly manifestations. A man dressed in the clothes of a typical country gentleman of the early 20th century is seen to enter the hallway through the front door and walk up the stairs, accompanied by a young girl. At first sighting these were mistaken for visitors who had omitted to pay their entrance fee but, when pursued, both figures disappeared into thin air. This occurence has happened so often since then that the custodians have given up trying to collect their fees. The gentleman is popularly thought to be Reginald Tatton, who was the last private owner of the Hall and bequeathed it to Chorley as a museum and War Memorial in 1922.
In the splendid period kitchen at the Hall a custodian has reported seeing an apparition of a Victorian maid, standing by the fireplace, and on another occasion has entered the kitchen to find the stuffed game birds, which form part of the display, taken down from the walls and piled in the middle of the floor. The same lady has heard laughter and singing echoing from empty rooms and the rattling of windowframes when there was no wind.
In 1989 a group of Liverpool war veterans visited the Hall. Some of them came back later that year and asked to meet the female guide in Elizabethan costume who had greeted them on the stairs. No such guide had ever worked there....
Seo Teach Hiúdaí Néill i mbaile fearainn Chnoc a' Stolaire i nGaoth Dobhair. Macasamhail maith atá ann do na tithe cloiche aon seomra a tógadh i ndeireadh an naoú céad déag. Bhí díon sclátaí air a mhair go dtí tamall gairid de bhlianta ó shin.
This is Teach Hiúdaí Néill ('the house belonging to Hugh, son of Niall') which is situated in the townland of Cnoc a' Stolaire in Gaoth Dobhair, West Donegal. It's a good example of single-roomed stone houses from the latter half of the nineteenth century. It had a slate roof which was still in place up until recent years.
The ‘Fort de la Chartreuse’, which dominates the Amercœur neighborhood of Luik in Belgium, was built between 1817 and 1823 to defend the city.
The fort is built on a strategic height that dominates the valley of the Meuse, which had been occupied by a Carthusian (Ordre des Chartreux) monastery until the French Revolution. The fort was built by the Dutch, who at the time administered southern Belgium.
The fort was abandoned as a fortification by the military in 1891 and was thereafter used as a barracks. From 1914 to 1918 the Germans used it as a prison, and again from 1940 to 1944.
In 1944-1945 it was used by the Americans as a military hospital. The Belgian army left the site in 1988.
