The medieval castle in the Belgian town of Vorselaar. Usually called “Vorselaar castle” but also locally known as “de Borrekens”. Apparenly the castle was originally not more than a fortified tower, but it grew into a large water castle throughout the middle ages. The castle is located some distance away from the village of Vorselaar and the location does not seem very strategic at first glance, but in the middle ages there was an important road between Turnhout and Antwerp (part of the trade route to Cologne in Germany) The medieval fortress was changed into a luxurious palace in the middle of the 18th century. The defensive walls and the gate tower were demolished and a large, baroque bailey was constructed. But the general look of the medieval structure was maintained. Subsequent alterations during the 19th century damaged the look of the building somwhat (especially the mock-neo-tudor entrance), but even the horrors of neo-gothic could not destroy the powerfull and ancient appearance of this old castle. Mainly because the four corner towers were never demolished.

Shot at Warwick castle in Warwickshire England. / Nikon D70s / lens 18-70mm / focal length 18mm / aperture mode / aperture f16 / shutterspeed 1/125 / ISO 200 / If you are gonna visit a castle in England, well this has to be in the top 5 best to go and see, well worth visiting. / Warwick Castle was built on the orders of William the Conqueror in 1068 as part of a defensive chain of castles established to maintain power in his new territories. It is possible that some kind of defensive structure existed on the site in the early tenth century or before belonging to Ethelfleda, the daughter of Alfred the Great, The castle has been remodelled and strengthened over the years to the point we see it today. The first castle consisted of a huge mound of earth topped with a wooden fort. To the north of the mound was the bailey surrounded by a ditch and wooden palisade. The castle was positioned by the side of the River Avon which gave protection to the castle on that side. The wooden structure on top of the mound was replaced by a stone shell keep some of which can still be seen. The wooden palisade around the bailey has also been replaced by stone walls and towers. During the Baron’s War Simon de Montfort’s forces attacked and damaged the defenses. The Beauchamp family took possession of the castle shortly after and owned the castle for almost 200 years. In the late fourteenth century the several major changes were made to the castle including the great hall and domestic ranges, a water gate and improvements to the main gatehouse and the barbican infront of it. Over the centuries the castle became an important seat of power and was the home for the Earls of Warwick who played an important role in shaping the history of England. Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick was known as the ‘Kingmaker’ for his involvement in bringing Edward IV to the throne. The castle is now owned by the Tussaud Group and is possibly the best castle to visit in Britain due to the wide range of events and attractions that can be seen.

Perched on Castle Hill overlooking Huddersfield, the tower was completed in 1899 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s reign. The corner-stone of the tower was laid on 25 June 1898 by Mr John Frechville Ramsden and was officially opened by the Earl of Scarborough on 24 June 1899. The walls of the tower are four feet thick at the bottom, tapering to two feet at the top. The tower was renovated in 1960 when the top seven feet were removed. It reaches the height of almost 997 feet above sea level. /

Ministry of Heritage and Cultural Activities, Superintendence for the Architectural, the Landscape, the Historical Heritage. Artistic and Ethno-Anthropological of Italy / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Featured in The Compact Group Group Agoust – 28 – 2009 —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— Hermitage of S. Colombano – Rovereto – Trentino – Italy The hermitage of San Colombano was built in 1319 and,according to a legend, it was named after an Irish saint (543 – 615) who travelled extensively and founded the Monastery of Bobbio. The building, excavated directly from the rock, can be reached by passing through the gorge of the Leno and then climb 102 steps sculpted in the ledge. Local legend still talks of a certain Colombano, who, like Saint George, killed a horrible dragon. Guardians of this small church are the hermits. A torchlight procession is arranged at Christmas. The hermitage was reopened to the public in the first days of October 1996 after a long period, during which restoration work was carried out, especially on the interior. Consequently the building has regained its old splendour, though maintaining all of its original characteristics. Nikon Coolpix 990

It is a very old site, once occupied by a small temple dedicated to the worship of the Fates, as recorded in the rare 3rd century epigraph (walled under the northern portico of the castle). Its original religious function was soon replaced by a military function, given its strategic position. In the 13th century the castle passed from the hands of the lords of Toblino into those of the lords of Campo, who owned the castle bearing the same name in the Giudicarie (Castel Campo). Later on, the castle fell into the hands of the church of Trento (1495) and the Cardinal Bernardo Clesio had the place restored and rebuilt (1536-1537) on Renaissance lines, to become a lord´s residence: it was decorated by some of the artists working at the Magno Palazzo of the Castello del Buonconsiglio in Trento. The prevailing 16th century elements are due to the subsequent transformations (courtyard portico and loggia, round arches) ordered by Gian Gaudenzio Madruzzo. All that remains of the Medieval castle layout are the wall to the west, a turret to the north-west of the present enclosure and the 20 meter high cylindrical tower, which may be considered a keep, strengthening the fortifications closing the summit of the fortified rock. Lake of Toblino This valley bottom lake has marsh vegetation (in particular ) and lacustrine (a few samples of “lamineto” of the ninfea gialla type); At certain points of the shore there are willow groves. The site includes the surrounding hills, where holm oaks woods grow(Celtidi australis-Quercetum ilicis). Nikon Coolpix 990

The White Queen’s Rook / Artist: Sjem / Biography: Danny One of the White King’s great assets – even though he possesses a fallen Angel in his ranks was his belief that faith alone would not save his army and the art of both mechanoid and wizardry could always be relied upon to be great allies when administered carefully. / Hence the reason the king kept Universities that studied the mechanical and more unorthodox majical arts. / It was through these academies principled by the Queens Bishop that the flank engines were created. The Steam City / The Left flank that provides the Queen’s armies protection is a massive structure made of slick marble and iron making the structure unscaleable except from within. The ability to create what can only be described as a turret on wheels also provides a means to carry the food, supplies and weapons that a large army needs to conduct a battle of mythical proportions.
