Old Town Square
The statue on the left is the Jan Hus Memorial, and the medieval steeples on the right belong to the Church of Our Lady before Týn. If I make it back to Prague in 2017 I will have a different game plan to deal with the crowds.
St. Peter’s Church
The oldest building in Malmö, clocking in at nearly 700 years old, is Sankt Petri Kyrka. Some parts are “only” 600 years old.
I didn’t have my wide-angle lens with me at the time, and this place is far too large to fit into a single frame at 24mm on a crop sensor camera like my D500, so this is actually three photos merged together.
Rain drain
Senjokaku’s draining system
A regular rain gutter would not cut it for a place like Senjokaku. For starters, the roof is massive and Miyajima gets a lot of rain.
This ingenious system turns a waterfall coming off the roof into a bedrock stream.
Unfortunately (now, for purposes of this photo, but fortunately then for purposes of my dryness), the rain had slowed by the time I took this photograph so you can’t see the water cascading off the roof so much.
Oaks Pioneer Church
Oaks Pioneer Church (Portland, Oregon)
Oaks Pioneer Church was built in 1851. In 1960 the old church had fallen into disuse and was scheduled for demolition. Funds were raised to keep the church from destruction, and in 1961 the church was shipped to its current location at the edge of Sellwood Park next to the Willamette River. Oaks Pioneer Church is now listed as a Portland Historical Landmark and is included on the National Register of Historic Places. Weddings are performed here.
I stumbled upon this place on my way to the Gorge for the Dave Matthews Band Labor Day Weekend festivities. I had never been to Sellwood before, even though I’ve been to Portland many times. Great neighborhood.
Prague from Old Town Bridge Tower
St. Francis of Assissi Church and Church of the Holy Saviour (Kostel Nejsvetejsiho Salvatora)
Today’s photo is a reverse angle (taken a bit earlier in the evening) from the same location I took this prior picture. A walk down the street ahead (slightly to the right of center in this image) will take you to Old Town Square, perhaps the most picturesque square in the world.
