Surprisingly, the first gazebos appeared about 5000 years ago, and it happened in Ancient Egypt. Then the sale of ready-made gazebos was impossible, and each building had a bright personality. ...

The shape of the arbors can be very diverse. The simplest type is four posts covered with a straight or hipped roof; along the bottom, the columns are surrounded by a wall on three sides; with the fourth - the entrance is open; benches go along the walls, and in the middle a table is placed on a fixed bedside table. Arbors, in addition, are polygonal or round.
Gazebos are extremely diverse in terms of their design, appearance and materials used for their construction. Most often they are made from wood, iron and natural stone. In the first case, they are made in Russian, Swiss or Chinese style; in the latter case, they are given a more monumental character and the forms of the ancient classical styles, Greek and Roman, or forms of the Renaissance style are applied to them.

Ratusz – pierwsza budowla z XIV wieku, była to budowla zapewne drewniana. W czasie wielkiego pożaru miasta w 1541 r. uległ zniszczeniu, odbudowany w kształcie budynku dwukondygnacyjnego z dwiema wieżami. W XIX wieku został przebudowywany: W 1827 r. rozebrano jedną z wież – północną. Elewację opracowano w neostylowych formach nawiązujących do gotyku i renesansu, wieżę zwieńczono krenelażem. W piwnicach zachowały się najstarsze elementy – kamienne sklepienia beczkowe oraz ceglane: krzyżowo-żebrowe i gwiaździste.

This is an old school house at O'Hara Mills in Madoc, Ontario. I love how the beautiful winter light filters in through the dark room giving a mysterious feel to the room.
Thank you all so much for visiting. Your support is very appreciated.
Wooden footbridge through a high moor in the Solling low mountain range (approx. 450 m above sea level). The peat had been mined from the 19th century. It was not until the beginning of the 1980s that the moor was renatured. According to the information, the complete regeneration of the raised bog will still take a few decades! The fauna and flora are already unique and worth seeing.
This photo was taken on the way to Stuormuorkkegårttje, a beautiful waterfall in the Stora Sjöfallets National Park in Sweden.
Due to the wooden planks the hike is very easy. A further benefit is the protection of the vulnerable arctic fauna.
