I really don't know how this happened, but suddenly, while processing this photo, the PS program itself went crazy. I was able to save this creation. It's a weird kind defragmentation, I like it, so i call this one "Art Nouveau".
Does anyone know the reason why this happened ???
Maybe my left hand has magical powers? ;-))
Die Österreichische Postsparkasse ist eines der bekanntesten Jugendstilgebäude Wiens, geplant und gebaut von Otto Wagner.
Im quadratischen Hof in der Mitte vorne ist das doppelte Glasdach des darunter liegenden Kassensaals zu erkennen, die untere Dachschale der Halle ist gewölbt. Der Fußboden im Kassensaal besteht aus Glaskacheln, die Licht in die darunterliegenden Räume leiten (Postfach und Postsortierräume); es ist darunter tatsächlich taghell.
Der geflieste Innenhof über dem Kassensaal wurde mit einer auffahrbaren, schlanken Glaskonstruktion als Schutzhülle überdacht, um dem immer wieder auftretenden Schaden abspringender Fliesen und damit der Gefährdung des doppelten Glasdaches über dem Kassensaal zu begegnen.
Otto Wagner hatte von Anfang an die großen Säle, wie den Kassensaal und die darunterliegenden Räume, klimatisiert, die großen Aluminiumlüfter im Kassensaal sind besonders markant.
Wenn man die Halle alleine zur Verfügung hat, kann es einem geschehen, dass man der Muse von Wagner begegenet, die die Lüftungsauslässe besonders zu mögen scheint.
Allerdings wurden sie von ca. 1984 bis 2005 in die umgekehrte Richtung als von Wagner vorgesehen betrieben. 2005 wurde die ursprüngliche Strömungsrichtung wiederhergestellt.

The majestic Art Nouveau theater was transferred several times during the XX century between the Romanian and the Hungarian communities, just as the city was being transferred between Romania and Hungary. Following WW II it has served as the premier Romanian-language theater of Cluj-Napoca. Lucian Blaga, theater's namesake, was a famous Romanian poet and philosopher.
Театр имени Благи, шедевр архитектуры Модерна, переходил несколько раз в течение ХХ века между от румынской к венгерской общиной и обратно, параллельно с тем как сам город переходил от Венгрии к Румынии, обратно к Венгрии и снова к Румынии. После Второй Мировой войны стал главным театром румынской общины Клужа-Напоки. Лучиан Блага, имя которого носит театр, был видным поэтом и культурным деятелем Румынии середины ХХ века.
Art Nouveau fountain in Stuttgart from 1914 by Karl Donndorf. In the middle the goddess of fate … left and right are lovers representing symbolizing joy and suffering.
The inscription reads like this: FROM THE DARK SOURCE OF FATE FLOWS
THE CHANGING FATE TODAY YOU STAND FIRM

ON THE WAVE - I prefer the German version: AUS DES SCHICKSALS DUNKLER QUELLE

The Hotel Gellért is a historic Art Nouveau hotel established in 1918 and located on the west bank of the Danube in Budapest, Hungary.
The hotel closed for renovations on December 1, 2021, and is scheduled to reopen in 2027 as Mandarin Oriental Gellert, Budapest.
Construction on the Hotel Saint Gellért started in April 1911. The hotel was named for Saint Gellért (St. Gerard Sagredo), the first bishop of Hungary in the 11th Century. The 176-room hotel was designed by Hungarian architects Ármin Hegedűs, Artúr Sebestyén and Izidor Sterk. Work on the hotel slowed due to World War I, and it did not open until 26 September 1918, just as the war was ending and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was descending into chaos.
The hotel was commandeered for military use throughout 1919, during the Aster Revolution, the Hungarian Soviet Republic and the Romanian occupation of Budapest. When Admiral Miklós Horthy led the forces of the Hungarian National Army into the city, on 16 November 1919, he made the hotel his headquarters, and gave a speech to the huge crowd gathered outside.
Once Hungary was established as an independent country, the hotel proved so financially successful that it was expanded in 1927 with 60 more guest rooms and an outdoor artificial wave pool built on the site of the hotel's gardens. Noted Hungarian restaurateur Károly Gundel took over management of the hotel's restaurants in 1927 as well. In 1934, the "thermal bath" was added, in place of the hotel's glass-domed Winter Garden.
The hotel remained open throughout most of World War II, until it closed on 26 December 1944, as the Siege of Budapest began. It was bombed out and largely destroyed in January 1945. The wave pool reopened in summer 1945. Post-war Communist authorities removed the "St." from the hotel's name and it became the Hotel Gellért. The Gellért Hill wing of the hotel reopened on 26 March 1946, with 50 rooms, using the baths entrance on Kelenhegyi Street. The hotel's first guests were Danish relief workers bringing food aid. The hotel's Marble Room restaurant reopened soon after, on 20 August 1946, just after the new currency, the forint had been introduced, to stabilize the Hungarian economy.
The restaurants leased by the Gundel family were nationalized in 1948, after which the entire establishment was state-owned and operated. The main Danube River wing of the hotel was rebuilt starting in 1956 and was officially reopened in 1960. While the facade was restored to its pre-war appearance, the hotel's interiors were rebuilt in a modern style. In 1972, the Gellért Hill wing, which had not been part of the 1956-1960 renovations, was completely reconstructed.
Danubius Hotels assumed management of the hotel in 1981. After the company was privatized in 1992, it purchased the hotel outright in June 1996[6] and it became the Danubius Hotel Gellért.
On June 24, 2019, Danubius sold the hotel to Indotek, an investment group, which announced plans to renovate and restore the Gellért and reposition it as a five-star luxury hotel, under the management of an international chain. The hotel closed for renovations on December 1, 2021, and ceased to be operated by Danubius Hotels at that point.[8] Indotek sold the shuttered hotel in December 2022 to BDPST Group, owned by István Tiborcz, son-in-law of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
On December 22, 2023, it was announced that the hotel will be operated by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group as the Mandarin Oriental Gellert, Budapest when it reopens in 2027. Design work will be done by London-based Alexander Waterworth Interiors Ltd. The historic Main Lobby, Danube Room, Music Room and Tapestry Room will be restored to their original state, based on historic photographs and plans. The remainder of the building will house 143 rooms, including 38 suites.

"Outro edifício com frisos decorativos típicos da Arte Nova é o n.º 133 a 143 da Rua Saraiva de Carvalho, hoje conhecido no bairro pel’“A Concorrente” (uma papelaria) em frente ao de “A Tentadora”. O seu aspeto atual data de 1913, ano em que foi ampliado, remodelado e enobrecido pelos azulejos pintados por José António Jorge Pinto – uma das obras mais relevantes deste pintor figurativo. Este edifício ficou também na história de Lisboa e do país por ter sido cenário de um dos episódios da revolução republicana, na noite de 4 para 5 de outubro de 1910."
