#HistoricBuildings

One of the things I love about historic urban areas is the juxtaposition of old and new architecture, like this view that caught my eye the other day while walking through downtown Denver. The stark contrasts in color, material, and design, and the different feelings they evoke, are stimulating and rewarding.

“The White House, acting on its own and not through GSA, has solicited bids and/or is finalizing a bid package (the last step prior to solicitation) to analyze and recommend for demolition four historic federal buildings in DC, which include buildings eligible for and listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a National Historic Landmark”

Whitby’s harbour stretches out with a mix of rippling water and colourful boats, framed by rows of historic buildings along the quay. The coastal town exudes seaside charm, with its riverside scenery leading the eye towards the North Sea. A stroll along the harbour offers a classic harbour view, where old inns, fishmongers, and cottages reflect the town’s maritime heritage. Popular with visitors for its #HarbourView #CoastalTown #RiversideScenery #HistoricBuildings #SeasideCharm, Whitby is a gateway to both history and the dramatic Yorkshire coastline.

A wide tidal river flows towards the sea, bordered by historic stone and brick buildings with red-tiled roofs on either side. The left bank features a dense row of older structures rising up a hillside, while the right bank has a mix of small waterfront buildings and wooden piers extending into the water. The river’s surface is rippled and brownish, reflecting the clear blue sky above, with only a few scattered clouds on the horizon. Several boats and mooring platforms are visible along the edges, and the waterway stretches out to meet the distant open sea.

Whitby Harbour stretches out beneath a clear sky, where gentle waters reflect the colourful fishing boats and the bustling quayside. The historic buildings lining the waterfront evoke the town’s maritime heritage, blending with the charm of a classic coastal town. Visitors strolling along the pier are treated to a serene #HarbourView, with #SeasideScenery framed by the distant cliffs and the North Sea beyond. The working harbour, dotted with #FishingBoats, is a picturesque reminder of Whitby’s long-standing fishing tradition and enduring appeal to travellers seeking #HistoricBuildings and coastal charm.

A quiet harbour with calm water reflects a line of historic buildings with brick and stone facades, some topped with red-tiled roofs, stretching along a wooden quay. A few small boats, including a bright red vessel, are moored in the sheltered water, while wooden pilings and sea walls frame the harbour. On the left, a row of shops and houses sits close to the water’s edge, with steps leading down to the quay, and a gentle slope of green hills rises behind the town. Clear blue skies and sunlight highlight the contrast between the calm water and the bustling waterfront.

Whitby’s harbour stretches out beneath a bright sky, framed by rows of red-roofed historic buildings cascading down the hillside towards the water. Fishing boats rest quietly along the pontoons, adding to the charm of the #HarbourView in this picturesque #CoastalTown. The blend of old stone houses, narrow streets, and the spire of a church speaks to centuries of maritime heritage, making it ideal for those drawn to #SeasideScenery and #HistoricBuildings. Visitors often pause here to watch the tide and the working harbour, a tranquil reminder of Whitby’s enduring connection to the sea.

A riverside harbour with brown tidal water is lined with a mix of historic brick and timber-fronted buildings, their red-tiled roofs climbing the hillside. A church spire rises above the clustered houses, and larger stone buildings sit higher up the slope. Small sailing boats are moored at floating pontoons along the quay, while the opposite bank features weathered wooden pilings supporting the waterfront structures. A partly cloudy sky casts bright sunlight over the scene, highlighting the contrast between the blue sky, dark water, and warm tones of the architecture.

Noch ein Bild aus Wien, Herrengasse. Die Kamera war meine Vollspektrum-Modifizierte X-E3. Der Filter war - warum schreibe ich mir das nie auf - vermutlich ein #630nm Filter. Im Infrarotbereich sieht fast jede Kleidung weiß aus.

Another picture from Vienna, Herrengasse. The camera was my full spectrum modified X-E3. The filter was - why do I never write this down - probably a 630nm filter. Almost all clothing looks white in the infrared range.

Metamorphisme is a monumental drawing installation exploring physical engagement with the medium. A large-scale fresco forms the core of the work, surrounded by ceramic sculptures by Simon Barraud de Lagerie that emit a sound composition by Nancy Mounir. Sound resonates through the ceramic forms and the architecture, creating a diffuse, immersive environment. Drawing, material, and sound interact as interconnected layers shaped by space, light, and resonance.

Kyneton station is such a beautiful old railway station. Tracks a bit wider than needed though (5’3” gauge).
#Trains #railways #historicBuildings #OldBuildings

Photo of an old railway station from the 1860s which is still in use; the main building along with the platforms, water tower, and goods shed are made of a dark stone with dark red woodwork, and a slate tile roof. The signal box stands three stories tall, and is made of horizontal wooden planks painted cream. In the foreground the original wooden level crossing gates are preserved in place next to their modern replacements. Two tracks of five foot three inch broad gauge run between the two platforms, with the main station building and water tower next to the signal box, and the goods shed forming part of the shelter for the other platform.
