Built from 1090 to 1522... This was market day, so lots of market stalls on the square.

Chalon-sur-Saône (Chalon on the river Saône), Burgundy, France.
It’s a smallish town (45K inhabitants), not far south from Dijon, in eastern France, close enough to the Swiss border.Alea jacta est! -
Architectural curiosities abound, if you’re into that sort of thing...

Very cool man, have a great time. -
Thanks for sharing those pictures!
I love architecture. I'm amazed at how mankind has built homes, buildings, bridges, cathedrals and other structures that stand for centuries.
Just think about all those statues near the top of those turrets on that church. How are they attached? When building it, they knew the statues would be secure forever. Amazing!
I think about the planning that went into that elaborately plant stylized townhome. What a beautiful expression that to me is balanced and not overdone. I'm shaking my head right now at the planning and detail that HAD to be done before starting that facade.
Then you see hotels in Vegas that get recycled after 40 or 50 years.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
I thought the same thing visiting Biltmore - the house's foundations were so impressive, especially when you consider residential homes built today will be lucky to stand up for 50 years without some major foundation overhaul.

30 years ago when I moved down here, this was a budding city.
The beaches only had crowds in the summer. There was free parking then too.
There barely were any construction codes.
I came upon slab single-story homes that got built with "black fiberboard" as exterior sheathing. I guess the corner framing was well braced at angles or they used those long 16' or 20' metal bracing straps across a bunch of studs at an angle...they had to have. Well, the builder put vinyl siding over the fiberboard...that's all.
You could throw a baseball through those walls!
I don't know how they got away with it!Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
The Royal Lipizzan stallions at their Florida training grounds.

Haha...as long as you come pick it up!
The cassette decks are out-of-frame, but only a few feet awayWhere's the cassette deck?
I found those cassettes while going through some of my old stuff from the '80s.

Spent a belated birthday weekend for my wife with the family in Jim Thorpe and Philadelphia. Unfortunately we left before the show on the 18th.
My kids said I should feel right at home here...
It was like a winter wonderland! Beautiful town - looked just like a Christmas card.

Beautiful Family Al.

Beautiful!

Those were exactly the words I was going to add to my earlier post... but I demurred; feelin' perky today, I am!
Not a fan of most of the 'classic' Dual tts rekkid playas changers. Their engineers seemed to have the following mantra*:"Why use one part to perform a function if you can use fifteen?"

With "sparkle that swings", it kind of goes without saying. Hmmm...sounds like the basis for a Skinemax series. I mean...just look at those people!mhardy6647 wrote: »7Up (1965) by Bart Solenthaler, on Flickr

That poor young woman in the top photograph appears to have ricketts or something. Maybe the 7-Up's dissolving her bones...
