Gloucester Docks c.1880 CC53_00092

GLOUCESTER DOCKS, Gloucestershire. The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal was built to specifications that allowed ocean going vessels to reach Gloucester, despite its distance from the sea. This allowed Gloucester to compete with coastal docks in the 19th century, as this picture shows, and it had a profound effect on the commercial aspects of the town.

Sunset with the Traditional Style Stone Boat and Tea House in Singapore Chinese Garden, Singapore

A famous traditional feature of Chinese architecture is the Stone Boat structure which is unique in design and its splendid architectural beauty is a fine art. The style of Yao-Yueh Fang (the Stone Boat) in the Chinese Garden is based on the Peking style, but there are some adaptations in the design and the materials used here, which results in a more beautiful and grandiose form is obtained. The Ming Hsiang Hsieh (Tea House) is a miniature structure following the style of the elaborate, winding gallery at the Summer Palace. This meandering design is a characteristic and graceful Chinese architectural feature
