One Christmas day a couple of years back, I saw one of these on the ceiling and while trying to get a photo at the top of a ladder fell off nearly killing myself. Who says macro photography is not dangerous!
Old Bridge was built in 1566 r, at the request of the Turkish Sultan Suleiman. As a place of male competition, "Jumping Icarus" to the Neretva River, is a symbol of Mostar. Croatian hit missiles on 9 November 1993, fell into the river. In the summer of 2004, after reconstruction with international assistance, was inaugurated as the "New Old Bridge".

Stary Most został zbudowany w 1566 r, na zlecenie tureckiego sułtana Sulejmana. Jako miejsce konkursowych męskich "Skoków Ikara" do Neretwy, jest symbolem Mostaru. Trafiony chorwackimi pociskami, w dniu 9 listopada 1993r runął do rzeki. Latem 2004 roku, po odbudowie przy międzynarodowej pomocy, został oddany do użytku jako "Nowy Stary Most".

I am not sure why these old poles attract me so much, but they do, standing between flowers in the foreground and sunset in the background, all lovely and natural. A memento mori of sorts.
I am also not sure which album it belongs to, you see Canada and US in about equal measure. I put it in both.
While exploring Washington State back roads, I came across this abandoned silver mine known as the Old Ruby (Pyrargyrite) Mine. Along with the mill there are several other buildings on the property, maintenance shop, blacksmith shop and forge, office, bunkhouse and powder magazine. The mill is empty now, and so is the powder magazine.
My husband and I were taking a Sunday afternoon drive in one of the old rural roads in our area and look what I found on the side of the road. Back in the old days this was schoolhouse.

The old gasworks in Hrensko, Czech Republic was built in 1905 for production of acetylene gas.
Because the production process was dangerous and there was the fear that an explosion would cause serious damage to the surrounding area, the building was placed in a narrow rock canyon.
Nowadays it is used as a restaurant.
The monastery was founded by St. Patrick in the 5th century and the remnants of the High Crosses and Round Tower are indicative of its importance. The monastery was linked to St Maelruns monastery of Tallaght and adopted the practices of the Ceile De movement. The Vikings raided the monastery in 932 and it was again burned in 1114. It was the threat from the Vikings, which led to the building of the round tower in the 9th/10th century. A town developed around the monastery with buildings of timber and mud which have since been obliterated by wind and weather.The Round Tower at Old Kilcullen is about 10m high and it has a round-headed doorway. This is less than 2m above ground level and about 1.7m high.
Ancient history books such as the Annals of the Four Masters tell of terrible Danish attacks on Kilcullen in 936 and 944 AD. This probably led to the construction of the Round Tower.
The tower is approximately 40 ft high and the top parts suffered a lot of damage in 1798. An account written in 1782 tells of there being four large windows in the upper part of the tower but only the semblance of one now remains. The village which developed around the edge of the monastery continued to exsist until it was distroyed in a battle on 24th May 1798.

My Old Piano
Diana Ross
Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano
My baby entertains
The real life of my parties
But still retains
In all the dignity
His international style
Exudes an air of royalties
His eighty eight key smile
Is so pleasant to see
Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano
My old keyboard
Won't stand for a corner
He demands the middle of the room
Your heart dissolves
While he tips you so gracefully
Till you're involved
In a baby grand affair
Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano
He entertains
The real life of my parties
But still retains
In all the dignity
His international style
Exudes an air of royalties
His eighty eight key smile
Is so pleasant to see
My old keyboard
Won't stand for a corner
He demands the middle of the room
Your heart dissolves
While he tips you so gracefully
Till you're involved
In a baby grand affair
Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano

Marine Garage has been a long time fixture on Moncton Street in Steveston. While the pumps remain, today it is solely a mechanics garage under the name of Seppo's Automotive.
Marine Garage is an Art Deco style building that has a long history in providing fuel and service to Steveston's residents. It originally opened as Walker's Emporium in the early 1900s and was one of the few buildings that survived the fire of 1918 (City of Richmond Archives)
