The courthouse in my hometown, built in the 1840s if my memory serve me correctly.
This is a bathhouse on what was a private estate near my home town, the tide would come in over the rocks warmed by the sun and up into the bathhouse and be much warmer than out in the bay and the folks would, as they used to say, "take the waters".
Old lighthouse in my hometown, restored a few years back. Pic taken by a good friend from back home.
Steep hills and interesting homes, most actually in wood, in St. John's, Newfoundland
Man's Architecture vs God's Architecture This is what you see every spring along the coast of Newfoundland
Cape Spear, NF, the eastern most point of North America and an incredible place to go hiking (this is the old lighthouse)
Great pic
thank you, I lived 20 minutes from there for six years
Norman cottage style summer cottage in my home town built early 20th century.
A few from my wanders today.

The hanging art piece, Glacier Ice and Lapis Chandelier, was designed by Dale Chihuly specifically for the Palm House in 2024.
The Palm House is an exquisite, painstakingly restored Victorian glasshouse imported from Bremen, Germany in 1875.

Sluishuis
This innovative adaptation of the traditional inner-city courtyard features a gateway to the IJ lake, created by lifting one corner of the building to allow water and small boats into the inner courtyard. The block steps down towards the neighborhood, creating terraces that bring in daylight and introduce a human scale. Residents and visitors can enjoy the lake from the inner courtyard, a pontoon jetty promenade, and a public climbing route to the top of Sluishuis.Sluishuis includes 360 apartments catering to various demographics, all accessible through the central courtyard. The ground floor features a central lobby, sailing school, watersports center and a restaurant with a large terrace, along with special float-in and watersports apartments. Upper floors offer diverse housing types, including premium apartments with luxurious outdoor spaces and large duplex penthouses.
That is a very cool picture, thanks for sharing. I wonder how many folks walk past that each day and don't see it.
