<p>Nemërçka Mountains  are a mountain range in southern Albania between Përmet and Gjirokastër District, which extends from a north-west direction to the south-east near the border between Albania and Greece. Geologically, Nemërçkë is a limestone-flysch forming a massive anticline situated between the graben valley of Vjosë river. The mountain forms the southern section of the Trëbëshinj-Dhëmbel-Nemërçka mountain chain. To the north, Nemërçkë is separated from the Albanian Pindus mountains, by the Vjosë river. The mountains are characterized by steep cliffs and wooden mountain slopes. The eastern scarps falls on the Vjosë river, 2000 metres down.</p><br>
<p>Nemërçka falls within the Pindus Mountains mixed forests terrestrial ecoregion of the Palearctic temperate broadleaf and mixed forest. Its forests are renowned for housing European beech (Fagus sylvatica). It is the southernmost point where European beech can be found in Albania.</p><br>
<p>Maja e Papingut, (formerly Maja e Dritës), is the highest peak within the mountain range. With an elevation of 2,482 m and a prominence of 1,792 m above sea level, it is the 44th most prominent mountain peak in Europe. Other peaks in Nemërçkë includes Maja e Gatakut 2,269 m, Maja e Qesarit 2,253 m, and Maja e Poliçanit 2,138 m.</p><br>
<p>Inscription Rock is a large slab of limestone measuring approximately 32 by 21 feet located on the south shore of Kelleys Island in Lake Erie in Erie County, Ohio. It is situated near the intersections of E Lakeshore Drive and Addison Rd under a large shelter structure with a viewing platform and is open to the public. The rock was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and was also located near a series of crescent shaped mounds thought to be created by Pre-Columbian peoples. More mounds were documented to be on the island and another rock with inscriptions was located on the north shore of the island. Unlike Inscription Rock, this boulder was granite - likely a glacial erratic - and engraved with two upside-down figures. However now only Inscription Rock remains since island quarry workers dynamited the petroglyph rock on the north shore.</p><br>
<p>Inscription Rock was discovered partially buried in the sand of the lake shore in 1833 and by 1915, it was appearing on postcards for tourists in the area and is still a well-visited site to this day. In 1851 Col. Eastman of the United States Army was commissioned to analyze and create detailed drawings of the rock and petroglyphs. He then submitted copies to Shingvauk, a Native American with a knowledge of pictography, for further intepretation. There are over 100 images on the rock and the carvings were noted to be similar to ones used by the Iroquois in Canada. Due to the soft nature of the limestone rock in the area, the carvings are generally believed to be less than 1,000 years old but the Inscription Rock remains one of the most significant and accessible examples of native petroglyphs in the area. Due to its proximity to the Lake Erie shoreline, it is under constant threat of further erosion by wind and wave activity.</p><br>
<p>The Herman and Hannah Anderson House in Forsyth, Montana was built in 1908. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story wood-framed house on a concrete foundation with a cross-gable roof. It has a one-and-a-half-story gabled addition from before 1910. It has shiplap siding, and Queen Anne/Colonial Revival details.</p><br>
<p>The NRHP nomination asserts it "is significant as an excellent surviving example of a larger early twentieth-century Forsyth residence", somewhat unusual for its location on the southside near the railroad, while other larger homes in Forsyth were in its primary residential area across the tracks. It was in fact located within 100 yd of the 16-stall roundhouse of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Herman Anderson, who emigrated from Sweden in 1889, worked for the railroad.</p><br>
<p>The Forsyth Bridge across the Yellowstone River in Forsyth, Montana is a Pennsylvania truss bridge which was built in 1905. It has also been known as Yellowstone River Bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is important historically as the first bridge linking what is now the northern section of Rosebud County to its sourthern section; the nearest Yellowston River bridge crossing was in Miles City, about 45 mi downstream. The need for the bridge was deeply felt locally and was a major factor in the area&#39;s initiative to create the county, splitting the area off of Custer County so that this bridge would be built.</p><br>
<p>When listed, only one of the bridge&#39;s three spans survived. The span is a pin-connected Pennsylvania through truss about 200 ft long and about 16 ft wide.</p><br>
<p>The Tōmizuka Kofun is a keyhole-shaped kofun burial mound located in the Wakabayashi ward of the city of Sendai, Miyagi in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan. It is the second largest kofun in Miyagi Prefecture  and the 5th largest in the Tōhoku region. It was constructed in the early to middle Kofun period, or around the late 4th to early 5th century AD. The site is a National Historic Site.</p><br>
<p>The Tōmizuka Kofun is located in the southern portion of the Sendai Plain, approximately 3.5 kilometers southeast of Sendai Station. The surrounding area is noted for extensive Yayoi period remains, and the kofun was excavated by the Sendai City Board of Education in 1968 and 1972.</p><br>
<p>While this keyhole-shaped kofun has a characteristic shape, it is unusual is that the square front part is extremely lower than the round rear part. The total length is 110 meters, and the height of the two-tiered burial mound is 6.5 meters. The kofun is surrounded with an irregular-shaped moat, with width varying from 10 to 40 meter.</p><br>
<p>The number of grave goods found was extremely few for the size of the kofun. Only one quartz cylindrical bead, four glass balls and 18 combs made of lacquered bamboo were excavated. These artifacts are preserved at the Sendai City Museum and the site is now a public park. Japan National Route 4 cuts across the bottom portion of the site.</p><br>
<p>Ryn Castle is a fourteenth-century castle located between Ryn and Ołów Lake, by Liberty Square  in Ryn, Poland.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ryn Castle is a late fortress built by the Teutonic Order. The fortress was built in the place of a former, smaller stronghold, as ordered by the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Winrich von Kniprode in c. 1377, to serve as a convent and a headquarters for launching attacks against the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to its east. In 1410, after the Teutonic defeat at the Battle of Grunwald, the castles fortifications were dismantled, limited to one Gothic building in the eastern part of the castle-complex. At the onset of the Thirteen Years War, in 1455, the castle was occupied by local peasants, later recovered by George von Schlieben, whom massacred the peasants in front of the castle at the Battle of Ryn. In 1525, the castle became the residence of the Duke of Royal Prussia. During the Deluge, in 1657, the castle was burned down by Tatars. By the beginning of the nineteenth-century, the castle was a private residence. After being bought back, in 1853, the Prussian authorities reutilised it into a prison. The castle burned down in 1881. After 1945, the castle was adapted to serve as a community centre, a small museum and the municipal council. After 1990, the town authorities sold the property to a private person, that adapted it into a four-star hotel (Hotel Zamek Ryn****).</p><br>
<p>The modern town of Delphi  is situated immediately west of the archaeological site of the same name, and hence is a popular tourist destination. Delphi is also the name of the modern-day municipality in which the town of Delphi is situated.</p><br>
<h2>Town</h2><br>
<p>It is on a major highway linking Amfissa along with Itea and Arachova. There are many hotels and guest houses in the town, and many taverns and bars. The main streets are narrow, and often one-way. The E4 European long distance path passes through the east end of the town. In addition to the archaeological interest, Delphi attracts tourists visiting the Parnassus Ski Center and the popular coastal towns of the region.</p><br>
<p>In the Middle Ages a town called Kastri was built on the archaeological site. The residents had used the marble columns and structures as support beams and roofs for their improvised houses, a usual way of rebuilding towns that were partially or totally destroyed, especially after the earthquake in 1580, which demolished several towns in Phocis. In 1893 archaeologists from the École française d&#39;Athènes finally located the actual site of ancient Delphi and the village was moved to a new location, west of the site of the temples.</p><br>
<h2>Municipality</h2><br>
<p>The municipality Delphi was formed at the 2011 local government reform by the merger of the following 8 former municipalities, that became municipal units:</p><br>
<p>Amfissa</p><br>
<p>Delphi</p><br>
<p>Desfina</p><br>
<p>Galaxidi</p><br>
<p>Gravia</p><br>
<p>Itea</p><br>
<p>Kallieis</p><br>
<p>Parnassos</p><br>
<p>The municipality has an area of 1121.671 km, the municipal unit 73.126 km. The administrative seat of the municipality is in the largest town, Amfissa. The total population of the municipality is 32,263. The town Delphi has a population of 2,373 people while the population of the municipal unit of Delphi, including Chrisso (ancient Krissa), is 3,511.</p><br>
<p>Belsar&#39;s Hill is a hillfort near Willingham, Cambridgeshire.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Belsar&#39;s Hill is an oval-shaped area, 265-220 m, enclosing 6 acre.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The location of the fortification, on the boundary between the tribal lands of the Iceni and Catuvellauni, and a similarity to other Iron Age hillforts such as Arbury Banks or Wandlebury, suggests an Iron Age provenance.</p><br>
<p>It is believed that the structure was reoccupied during the Norman Conquest. During this time period the Norman forces were combating a local revolt under Hereward the Wake, and the hillfort would have been strategically located on the Aldreth Causway, the main road to Ely. A postulated name of "Belassise", from the Old French "bel assis" (meaning well seated/placed), also suggests a Norman link. An alternative suggested etymology, stemming from the Norman general named "Belasius", also suggests Norman involvement. The importance of this location in the defence of Ely has led some to suggest that the ringfort may have been the Castle of Aldreth.</p><br>
<p>According to the recorded history of the revolt led by Hereward the Wake at the turn of the 11th century, Hereward&#39;s troops retreated to the Isle of Ely, surrounded by fenland which was impassable to the Norman cavalry. An attempt was made to build a mile-long causeway, but the weight of the Norman armour caused the causeway to sink. Eventually, the Norman troops bribed a local monk to show them a safe passage across the fen.</p><br>

<p>The Brigham City Co-op was one of the most successful cooperative enterprises of the Mormons in Utah.</p><br>
<p>In 1990 five buildings associated with the Brigham City Co-op survived: the Mercantile Store (1891), the Flour Mill (1856), the Woolen Mill (1869-70), the Planing Mill (c.1876), and the Relief Society Granary (c.1877).</p><br>
<h2>Mercantile Store</h2><br>
<p>The Brigham City Mercantile and Manufacturing Association Mercantile Store, at 5 N. Main St. in Brigham City, Utah, also known as the Brigham City Co-op Mercantile Store or the First Security Bank, was built during 1890-1891. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by Ogden, Utah architects St. James, Woods & Co. It has a 50x80 ft room on its third floor which was used for dances and other events.</p><br>
<p>The building "is significant primarily for its association with the Mormon Church-sponsored Brigham City Mercantile and Manufacturing Association (the Co-op). The Co-op was a highly successful socio-economic system that dominated the local economy during most of its years of operation, 1864-1895. It was also a model for Mormon cooperatives established throughout the Utah Territory in the 1860s-80s. Most of the other co-ops failed quickly, and none approached the level of success attained in Brigham City."</p><br>
<p>A fire at the store on December 19, 1894 contributed to failure of the Co-op in 1895. The building later served as a bank.</p><br>
<p>The NRHP nomination states the building "is also architecturally significant as the best example of Victorian Eclectic commercial architecture in Brigham City."</p><br>
<h2>Flouring Mill</h2><br>
<p>The Box Elder Flouring Mill was built in 1857 and served as a flour mill into the 1870s. It was a two-story 30x39 ft building.

It was expanded by additions during about 1892 to 1933, including a c.1933 two-story frame addition which is 32x120 ft in plan.</p><br>
<p>The mill had portholes intended for defense from Indian attacks, in its first story walls on the west, north and south sides. These were changed into windows and a door by John H. Bott during his ownership during the 1890s to 1914.</p><br>
<p>It has also been known as the Gristmill, and as Snow and Smith Mill and as Bott&#39;s Monument Factory. It was NRHP-listed as Box Elder Flouring Mill.</p><br>
<p>It was water-powered by Box Elder Creek.</p><br>
<h2>Granary</h2><br>
<p>The granary was built in 1877. It was NRHP-listed as Granary of the Relief Society in 1990.</p><br>

<p>Kamieniec Ząbkowicki Palace - a monumental nineteenth-century Neo-Gothic palace, located in the village of Kamieniec Ząbkowicki, Poland.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The bidder and first owner of the Kamieniec Ząbkowicki Palace was Princess Marianne of the Netherlands, who in 1838, commissioned the construction of the palace to Karl Friedrich Schinkel. In 1848, construction works were halted due to Princess Mariannes divorce with Prince Albert of Prussia, only to be renewed in 1853. In 1858, the terrace gardens were designed by Peter Joseph Lenné, the General Director of Prussian Parks. In 1873, and with the marriage of Albrechts son, Princess Marianne granted Albert property rights. During World War II, the Germans used the palace complex as a transit station for ransacked art works. After 1945, the interior of the palace was either looted or devasted, with part of the marble salvaged to construct the Congress Hall at the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw.</p><br>
<p>Presently, successive renovation works since 2013, financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Poland have secured the property, opening the site to tourists.</p><br>
<p>Przewodziszowice Castle - brick fortress ruins, located on the peripheries of the former village of Przewodziszowice , on the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The fortress was raised in the fourteenth, or on the turn of the fourteenth and fifteenth-century, as commanded by the Polish monarch Casimir III the Great, or Silesian duke Vladislaus II of Opole. Together with the Suliszowice Fortress, the fortresses served as a propounded flank of what now remains of the castle ruins located in the small forest osada of Ostrężnik Gmina Janów. In the fifteenth-century, the castle reserved as the residence for knight-highwayman Mikołaj Kornicz Siestrzeniec, known as "Siestrzeniec". According to a legend, the knight hid his loot in stone fissures or the castle well.</p><br>

<p>The Sauk County Courthouse, located at 515 Oak Street in Baraboo, is the county courthouse serving Sauk County, Wisconsin. Built in 1906, the courthouse is Sauk County&#39;s fourth and its third in Baraboo. Wisconsin architecture firm Ferry & Clas designed the Neoclassical building. The courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sauk County&#39;s first courthouse was built in Prairie du Sac in 1844; however, the county seat moved to Baraboo two years later, and after a challenge from Reedsburg an 1852 referendum kept it there. The first courthouse in Baraboo was completed in 1848, on the present-day courthouse square; the two-story building also hosted classes, dances, and church services in its courtroom. The 1848 courthouse burned down in the 1850s, and the county constructed a new brick courthouse at the same site. The new courthouse ultimately burned down as well, in December 1904; however, the county had voted to replace it a month before the fire. Its replacement, the current courthouse, was completed in 1906.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse&#39;s tower was renovated in 1915 to add bells. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 9, 1982. The county expanded it in 1989 and renovated it in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Milwaukee-based architecture firm Ferry & Clas designed the Neoclassical courthouse. The two-story building is built of Indiana limestone. The front entrance is flanked by two-story Ionic pilasters; the door is topped by a pediment, and long windows on the second floor complete the entrance. An entablature and projecting cornice, separated by dentillation, run along the buildings roof line. The courthouses terra cotta hip roof is topped by a clock tower, which was originally a cupola before its renovation. While much of the interior has been renovated, the courthouse&#39;s marble staircase hall and barrel vaulted corridors are original; the former features decorative capitals and egg-and-dart moldings.</p><br>
<p>The Independence Slab originally was a series of petroglyphs carved in an outcropping of native silicious Berea It was discovered by area quarry workers in the mid-1800s who were quarrying building materials for a nearby church. The quarrymen are thought to have likely damaged large portions of the petroglyphs before realizing what they uncovered., where it has remained to this day.and the petroglyphs are believed to be part of the Whittlesey period . The Independence Slab is unusual, not only for the unorthodox way it was found and preserved, but also because petroglyphs themselves are rarely found in the Northeast Ohio area. Most Ohio petroglyphs have been found exposed to the elements, but the Independence Slab was noted to have been buried under a layer of soil prior to its discovery.</p><br>
<p>Today, the Independence Slab is still embedded in the walls of the Independence Presbyterian Church which is located near the Independence Public Square on Brecksville Road. The church was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places in the 1970s and mentioned the existence of the petroglyphs in its nomination documentation.</p><br>
<p>The Dublin Commercial Historic District is a 32 acre historic district roughly centered on Jackson Ave. and Lawrence St. in Dublin in Laurens County, Georgia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The district included 76 contributing buildings, one contributing structure, and one contributing object.</p><br>
<p>It covers the historic core of the town of Dublin, which was incorporated in 1812 and was laid out in a gridiron pattern. Streets were named after USA presidents and after Revolutionary War and War of 1812 heroes.</p><br>
<p>The town planis an example of the Sparta-type county seat plan. The Sparta plan features a central courthouse square, but the square is given greater prominence by aligning major streets to run directly towards its center. This may occur on all four sides of the square, or as is the case in Dublin, two streets may approach the center while others intersect at the corners. The town was laid out in a gridiron pattern with the courthouse at the east end of Jackson Avenue, the main east-west street in the central business district that runs directly to the center of the square. The nonhistoric Laurens County courthouse, constructed in 1962, occupies the west side of the square while the Federal Building and United States Courthouse occupies the east side.</p><br>
<p>Notable buildings include:</p><br>
<p>Christ Episcopal Church (1898), Gothic Revival</p><br>
<p>Carnegie Library (1904), Neoclassical style, designed by Atlanta architects Morgan and Dillon, separately NRHP-listed</p><br>
<p>First National Bank Building (1912), Classical Revival, seven stories tall (the tallest building in the district).</p><br>
<p>This waterfall is located in Guadeloupe, an insular region of France. It is placed onto the River Grande plaine, two kilometers from RN2. Acomat is one of the most famous places of Basse-Terre Island. The altitude of the waterfall is nine meters and there is a natural pool where people swim. It is in a rocky place with many plants and vegetation. Acomat is famous for its emerald colour.</p><br>
<p>The access is not very difficult and Acomat is very popular among the inhabitants of the island and tourists in holidays and weekends.</p><br>
<p>The place it can be dangerous in the rainy seasons because it can provoke floods of the river. Also because of the rocks it is advised not diving. The fall can provoke whirlpools. There were deaths in Acomat associated with this problem.</p><br>
<p>The Columbia Road–Devon Street Historic District encompasses a collection of brick residential apartment houses on Columbia Road in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Arrayed on the southeast side of the road near its junction with Devon Street are seven multistory buildings, constructed in the first two decades of the 20th century, when the area was developed as a streetcar suburb. An eighth building from the same period is located on the northwest side at the junction with Stanwood Street. These apartment blocks are typical of the speculative housing built at the time, with most of them built out of red brick laid in Flemish bond, with cast stone trim.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Quincy Grammar School is a historic former school building at 88-90 Tyler Street in the Chinatown neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It is a three-story red brick building, designed by Gridley James Fox Bryant. It was built in 1859, a reconstruction to original plans after fire leveled the first structure, built in 1848. Originally four stories in height, the top floor collapsed during the Great New England Hurricane of 1938. The building is historically significant as a major element in the education of Boston&#39;s immigrant Chinese community during the early 20th century. It is now owned by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of Boston, which operates it as a community center.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Rochambeau Worsted Company Mill is a historic textile mill complex at 60 King Street in the Olneyville neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island. Set between King Street and the Woonasquatucket River, it is a three-story brick-clad steel frame structure, built about 1923. It was the third mill in Rhode Island in which a French system of textile processing was implemented. The business was established in 1922 by the Lepoutre Brothers, French immigrants who had first begun operations at the Lafayette Worsted Company in Woonsocket, and operated until 1956. It was thereafter occupied by the Imperial Knife Company, which operated here until 1987, manufacturing tableware.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>Sanders Hill, also known as Overhome, near Montrose in Laurens County, Georgia, is a house built in 1903, constructed of Georgia heart pine, as a copy of a house from early in the prior century which was destroyed c.1900. It is located about 1.5 mi southwest of Montrose off I-16/GA 404, about 5.5 mi west of Dudley. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The structures architectural style was then "quite similar to the saltbox&#39; style popular in New England but rare in the Middle Georgia area."</p><br>
<p>It was home of its builder, John M. Sanders, who was Judge of the "Harvard Militia District" in Laurens County. The house, 20 mi from the courthouse in Dublin, Georgia, was the location of many business and legal transactions. The judge conducted numerous marriages in the house&#39;s front room at its southwest corner, including presiding over the marriage of Mabel, his daughter, to Claude Gross Wade in 1913. According to the NRHP nomination, Wade, a successful farmer, "eventually became President of the Federal Land Bank, and was largely responsible for the planting of the millions of pine trees which altered the vegetative cover of this area of our country."</p><br>
<p>The property is one acre surrounded by a dirt road to the west and a fence around the rest.</p><br>

<p>The United States Post Office and Custom House is a historic government building at 40 South Main Street in the city of St. Albans, Vermont. Built in 1938, and still in use housing federal offices, it is an enduring presence of the federal government in the city. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former United States Post Office and Custom House building is located at the southern end of downtown St. Albans, on the west side of South Main Street at its junction with Stebbins Street. It is a two-story L-shaped brick building with Colonial Revival styling. The main facade is nine bays wide, with a three-bay entrance area recessed behind a three-arch loggia. A narrow metal balcony runs above this loggia, with tall doubled windows above each arch. A band of Vermont marble runs below the eave, incised with the building identification. The former post office lobby space is adorned with murals painted by artist Philip von Saltza.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed for the federal government in 1938 as part of a New Deal-era jobs program. It was designed by Lorimer Rich, a private architect, working in conjunction with Louis Simon, the supervising architect of the United States Department of the Treasury, and was located along United States Route 7, long a major north-south route to Canada. Increased road development and automotive traffic prompted the government to expand both the number of border stations and customs facilities in the region. Customs offices were moved out of the building in the 1960s, and the post office was enlarged by an addition in 1967-68. The post office moved out in 2008; the building continues to house other federal government offices.</p><br>

<p>The Anglican Church of St Mary in Brompton Regis, Somerset, England was built in the 13th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The tower of the church survives from the 13th century building, but the nave was rebuilt and the north aisle added around 1490.</p><br>
<p>A musicians gallery was added in 1770. Victorian restoration was undertaken in the 19th century when the roof was replaced and the south transept added to the building. In 2010 permission was granted for the construction of a disabled toilet at the church.</p><br>

<p>The Jinping Mountains or Jinping Shan are a short north-south mountain range in southwestern Sichuan Province, China. The Jinping are located within Yanyuan and Mianning Counties, both in Liangshan Prefecture. This mountain range is notable for the Jinping Bend, where the Yalong River wraps around the entire Jinping range. The Jinping Mountains, sometimes considered a large mountain massif, are approximately long and only wide.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The Jinping Mountains are part of a complicated orogenic complex from the Indian subcontinent&#39;s collision with the Eurasian Plate and the resistance of the Yangtze Plate to the east. The mountains are primarily composed of Triassic marble.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Jinping Mountains are rugged and rise almost above the Yalong River on either side. The Jinping are located in the complicated grouping of mountains called the Hengduan Mountains that transition between the Tibetan Plateau in the northwest to the Yungui Plateau in the southeast. The Jinping are sometimes classified as a southern subrange of the Shaluli Mountains, a component range of the Hengduan. The Yalong River separates the Jinping Mountains from the Daxue Mountains to north.</p><br>
<p>The tallest peak of the Jinping Mountains rises to above sea level. This peak is also known in Chinese as Jinping Shan (锦屏山) as the word for mountain can refer to either a mountain or mountain range.</p><br>
<p>After flowing southeasterly, the Yalong River diverts north along the west side of the Jinping before turning 180 degrees and flowing south along the east side of the mountains. This forms the dramatic Jinping Bend, known for its deep gorge and inhospitable terrain.</p><br>
<h2>Human development</h2><br>
<p>The Jinpings vertical relief and the Yalong Rivers elevation drop from one side to the other make it an optimal source of hydroelectric energy. The Jinping-I Dam, on the west side of the Jinping Mountains, is the tallest dam in the world at high. The Jinping-II Dam, a little further downstrem, diverts the water of the Yalong River nearly under the Jinping Mountains to the east side of the bend. More than 13.2 million m of earth was excavated for the construction of Jinping-II&#39;s power station below the mountains. A total of seven tunnels were bored through the Jinping Mountains at depths up to beneath the mountain peaks. This included four water diversion tunnels, two auxiliary tunnels, and one construction drainage tunnel.</p><br>
<p>The China Jinping Underground Laboratory was developed along the southernmost Jinping-II tunnel through the Jinping Mountains. This institution specializes in the research of dark matter as the location deep below the surface of the earth shields the laboratory from interfering cosmic rays.</p><br>
<p>The Nathan L. Bachman School is a former elementary school located near Signal Mountain, Tennessee. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. In 2017, it is used as the Bachman Community Center.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Nathan L. Bachman School was built in 1937, and designed by the firm of R. H. Hunt and Company. It was built under the Public Works Administration with funding from the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works, at a cost of about $57,000. The school was named for Nathan L. Bachman, a prominent local lawyer and politician. It was built to replace older and obsolete schools in the area. In 1955, two additions were added to the original structure. It functioned as a school until 2000, when its students were transferred to Nolan Elementary School. It now functions as a community center under the name, Bachman Community Center.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Nathan L. Bachman School building is an example of Colonial Revival architecture. Prominent features reflective of this style include the front brick portico, fanlights over the main entrance and auditorium windows, red brick facade, multi-light window sashes, panel doors, and an overall symmetrical design, with the main entrance in the center flanked by equally-spaced windows.</p><br>
<p>Kellys Ferry Cemetery is a historical cemetery located in Marion County, Tennessee, off USA Highway 41. It and its associated road are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They are the only remnants of the extinct settlement of Kellys Ferry.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Kellys Ferry Cemetery dates to the 1830s when a ferry was established across the Tennessee River by John Kelly. Shortly thereafter, a small community developed at the location. The ferry served as an important route across the river, and allowed goods to be off-loaded and transported by land to Chattanooga, thereby avoiding a treacherous stretch of the river upstream called "The Suck." The road leaving Kelly&#39;s Ferry led to Watauchie Junction, which became an important railroad junction on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad.</p><br>
<p>Kellys Ferry played an important role in the Cherokee removal from eastern Tennessee. During this event, Chattanooga served as a collection and holding point, from which groups of Cherokee were marched westward on the Trail of Tears. The road to Kellys Ferry and the ferry itself were one of only a few paths suitable for transportation of large groups of people and supplies, and the historical record shows several Cherokee detachments camped or traveled through there.</p><br>
<p>Kellys Ferry and its road also served as an important transportation route in the Civil War. During the Confederate siege of Chattanooga, a garrison of soldiers was stationed there to secure the crossing. The site was later occupied by the Union army, and was an important link in the famous "Cracker Line," the supply route established by General Ulysses Grant to break the siege. At this time, the road from Kellys ferry was widened and improved by the Union forces to facilitate the movement of supplies.</p><br>
<p>Kelly&#39;s Ferry gradually declined in the early 20th century, and closed in 1952.</p><br>
<p>Kelly&#39;s Ferry Cemetery contains burials of many of the early settlers of the area, including John Kelly. Its earliest known burial dates to 1838. The site remains relatively intact, with little development in the area near the property.</p><br>
<p>The Monroe Elementary School Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. The school building was completed in 1961 in a neighborhood of small ranch-style houses from the same era. Designed by the Cedar Rapids architectural firm of Brown & Healey, it was one of seven schools built as a result of a bond referendum in 1959. It was necessitated by a roughly 70% increase in enrollment between 1950 and 1960. The single story, brick building features long and wide corridors, low ceiling heights, extensive use of glazing, exposed trusses, and deep overhangs. The building retains historical integrity, while the other school buildings built at this time in Cedar Rapids do not. Two basketball hoops and a fire engine-shaped piece of playground equipment are the contributing objects. The non-contributing buildings are two temporary classrooms, three pieces of playground equipment are the non-contributing objects. It ceased being a school building in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Our Mother of Sorrows Grotto Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located on the Mount Mercy University campus in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. They include two arched entryways, a bridge, a 10-column structure representing the Ten Commandments, and a canopy that encloses a marble statue of the Virgin Mary. The grotto was built by William H. Lightner, a self-trained architect, between 1929 and 1941. He utilized 12 tons of stone and 300 varieties of Italian mosaic glass that he acquired in his travels of more than 40,000 mi. Popular in southern Europe, grottoes are natural or artificial caves that are places of spiritual reflection. In the United States, they are found primarily in the Midwest, and are mainly created by self-trained artists and builders.</p><br>
<p>Lightner died in 1968, and the grotto fell into disrepair. Grants from the Smithsonian Institution’s American Heritage Preservation Project-Save Outdoor Sculpture (2001), the Iowa Arts Council (2011), and The National Endowment for the Arts (2014) were used to restore the structures. The grotto is used for a variety of personal and communal uses.</p><br>
<p>Korzkiew Castle - a fourteenth-century Romanesque castle located in Korzkiew, Lesser Poland Voivodeship in Poland. The castle is part of the Trail of the Eagles&#39; Nests tourist route. The castle complex includes the castle ruins, housing residence, a grange and park, enlisted on the register of objects of cultural heritage of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship.</p><br>
<p>The history of the castle begins in the fourteenth-century, when in 1352, Jan z Syrokomli bought the Korzkiew hill and built a rectangular, stone tower, performing defence and resident functions. By the end of the fifteenth-century, as well as in 1720 (when the proprietors were the Jordanowie), the building was rebuilt. Then on, the castle was owned by the Wesslowie and Wodziccy. Towards the end of the nineteenth-century, the building fell into a state of ruin.</p><br>
<p>Since 1997, the castle has been owned by architect Jerzy Donimirski, that undertook renovation and reconstruction works of the castle, which presently serves as a hotel. The owner simirlarly plans to renovate the nearby manor house, ponds and build a small museum and an open-air museum.</p><br>
<p>The Chivers Memorial Church in Lodge Grass, Montana is a historic church complex built during 1927-28. It is located east of the former CB&Q railroad tracks, along the western side of USA Route 87. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. According to a Montana historic site inventory, it was then owned by the National Ministries of American Baptists, headquartered in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>The complex, all under one roof, includes a gable-ended, wood frame church building with a central bell tower, a council lodge hall, a Sunday-school room, and a parsonage.</p><br>
<p>The church replaced the former 1904-built Baptist missionary which was destroyed in a fire in 1926. Reverend Petsholdt raised funds for its construction. Crow Indian children had been allowed to attend regular schools since 1921, so it was not necessary to rebuild the mission school.</p><br>
<p>The church was considered a church for Native Americans only, as a different Baptist church for whites was built in 1917. The council lodge space was the largest meeting space in Lodge Grass, however, and was used for high school graduations, town meetings, and social events for over 60 years.</p><br>
<p>It was built by volunteers under supervision of George Pease, Jr.</p><br>
<p>The Telfair Center for the Arts is a 501c3 charitable nonprofit in Telfair County, Georgia. It occupies a historic building which was renovated for its use, the South Georgia College Administration Building of South Georgia College on College St. in McRae, Georgia.</p><br>
<p>The building is Late Victorian-style and was built in 1892. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant in architectureas an example of the main building of a co-educational institution that was organized and sponsored by the Methodist Church....The architect&#39;s use of brick and simplistic details for this late Victorian building emphasize the un-ostentatious approach the church sought for the curriculum itself. The strict Christian ethics to be taught at South Georgia College appear to be outlined in the earliest photographs of the building. It certainly gave the impression of a building where authority was imposed and was modeled, no doubt, after earlier college buildings within the state and elsewhere.</p><br>
<p>It was also deemedsignificant in the history of education in Georgia because of the role the school played in the South Georgia Conference of the Methodist Church. The need for a school of higher education in the region crystalized at a meeting of the Conference in May of 1891 in nearby Montgomery County. Once the Conference decided to sponsor a school that included two years of college, several towns vied for the honor of its location. At the annual conference in 1892, McRae won the vote, since it offered the best proposal and had a "high moral tone."</p><br>
<p>The school opened in January 1893 with 65 students.</p><br>
<p>The Columns are the most recognized landmark of the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. Standing forty-three feet tall in the center of Francis Quadrangle and at the south end of the Avenue of the Columns they are the remains of the portico of Academic Hall. Along with Jesse Hall they are one of the most photographed sites in Missouri. The Columns have been the center of numerous traditions and events including graduations, concerts, pranks, weddings, and protests. They are mentioned in Mizzou&#39;s school song and have been the setting for works of fiction. They are a contributing structure to the Francis Quadrangle National Historic District. The columns underwent preservation in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Academic Hall was constructed in 1840-1843 as the first building of the University of Missouri and the first public university building west of the Mississippi River. They were designed by accountant and architect Stephen Hills, who also designed the first Missouri State Capitol Building. They were made out of limestone drums from the Hinkson Creek Valley south of campus.</p><br>
<p>When Academic Hall burned in 1892 the columns remained standing. In the next few months after the fire, many thought of the Columns as an eyesore that blocked the view of the new buildings (Red Campus) being constructed on the Quadrangle. Some even feared that they were structurally unsound and a safety hazard. In August 1893, the Board of Curators issued a resolution that called for the Columns to be demolished "as soon as convenient." A local paper reported that Gideon F. Rothwell had ordered two mule teams to tear down and haul off the Columns. A leading Columbia citizen by the name of Jerry S. Dorsey led a protest against their removal, and stated "the Columns could not be pulled down by a herd of elephants." Rothwell announced that they were coming down even if he had to dynamite them. Dorsey obtained a judicial writ that delayed the destruction of the Columns, and an architect soon declared that they would be structurally sound. The protest from Columbia citizens and the reassurance that the Columns did not pose a safety hazard led Rothwell and the other curators to have a change of heart in December 1893, and the Columns would remain.</p><br>
<p>In 2017 the columns underwent a major preservation effort. In the 2017 fall semester the University of Missouri offered a class called "The Geology of the Columns."</p><br>
<h2>Traditions</h2><br>
<p>At the beginning of the academic year freshmen participate in "Tiger Walk" to symbolize their move from the wider community to the university by walking through the columns. Tap Day occurs under the columns, when the schools secret societies announce their new members.</p><br>
<h2>Appearances in art</h2><br>
<p>The columns along with James S. Rollins are one of four paintings in the office of the Missouri Governor in the Missouri State Capitol. They are also featured in the Missouri House in a monumental stained-glass window titled "Missouri at Peace." A mural by George Caleb Bingham depicting Academic Hall was destroyed when the same burned. Academic Hall and the Columns are also featured in murals in the Boone County Courthouse and Columbia Municipal Court.</p><br>
