The Chesme Church (Russian: Чесменская церковь; full name Church of Saint John the Baptist at Chesme Palace, also called the Church of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, Russian: це́рковь Рождества́ Иоа́нна Предте́чи при Че́сменском Дворце́), is a small Russian Orthodox church at 12 Lensoveta Street, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It was built by the Russian court architect Yury Felten in 1780, at the direction of Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. A memorial church, it was erected adjacent to the Chesme Palace (Russian: Чесменский дворец: damaged during the Siege of Leningrad and restored in 1946) between Saint Petersburg and Tsarskoye Selo to commemorate the anniversary of Russia's 1770 victory over Turkish forces in Chesme Bay (Turkish: Çeşme) in the Aegean Sea during the Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774.
The church and Chesme Palace were the earliest Neo-Gothic constructions in the St Petersburg area. Considered by some to be St Petersburg's single most impressive church, it is a rare example of very early Gothic Revival influence in Russian church architecture.
dictionary: "An architect is a person who plans, designs and oversees the construction of buildings"
That's like saying Picasso put paint on canvas...
Where once there was only sky we now have 'The Sky'. - Not just a building occupying space, but an entity becoming part of that space.
In the architect's imagination they envisioned the direct relationship between the physical sky and clouds to the reflected clouds. The soft sky to the Euclidean lines of their structure. - together through their relationship they each achieve presence.
photo: a matter of gradation. As a raging storm approached from behind I aimed toward the tranquil blue sky before me. Capturing the east and west, blues turned gray, the air cooled as the breeze angered to a wind.
In reality all credit for this photo goes to the architect. I just saw what they wanted me to see.

The building is intentionally reminiscent of the United States Capitol. Designed by Elijah E. Myers, it was constructed in the 1890s from Colorado white granite, and opened for use in November 1894. The distinctive gold dome consists of real gold plate, first added in 1908, commemorating the Colorado Gold Rush. The building is part of Denver's Civic Center area.

Bloomington architect George Miller designed this beautiful Queen Anne style house for Edward & Ora Gridley in 1885. Edward Gridley was the son of Asahel Gridley, a local land developer and attorney. The house was preserved by Alice Light McTurnan, whose family lived here from 1904 to 1996.
The Edward & Ora Gridley House is a contributing property in Bloomington's East Grove Street District. This residential historic district includes 43 houses and apartment buildings, 25 of which are considered contributing buildings. The houses in the district were built between 1855 and 1915 for many of Bloomington's upper middle class residents. Due to a building boom between 1880 and 1900, the then-popular Queen Anne style is the most prevalent in the district. Other popular architectural styles in the district include Greek Revival homes from the 1850s, Italianate homes built between 1860 and 1880, and Arts and Crafts homes built in the 1900s. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1987.

Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral
1085 De la Cathedrale Street, Montreal
The Cathedral is the third largest church in Quebec and is Catholic denomination. It was built to replace the former St. Jacques Cathedral which had burned in 1852. Work began in 1875 it was completed in 1894 and consecrated as St. James Cathedral being the patron of the parish that it served.
However in 1955 at the request of Cardinal Paul-Emile Leger it was rededicated by Pope Benedict XV to Mary, Queen of the world. There have been a number of restoration works. In 2003 the enclosed porch and esplanade were restored. Another restoration in 2005 was the work done to Bishop Ignace Bourget’s statue on the outside of the building.
The Bishop’s Mortuary was completed in 1935, this was dedicated to Bishop Bourget where lays his tomb. The walls and floors are made from Italian marble.
The Chapel of the Assumption has a beautiful wood carved altar with gold leaf decoration. There is a wonderful painting of Our Lady painted in the 17th cent by a Spanish monk (unknown). The altar itself was discovered by Rololphe Messmer, an Austrian architect in France. He donated to the cathedral in 1994.
The Ciborium which covers the altar and is located under the dome was created in Rome in 1900 by Joseph-Arthur Vincent and is a reproduction of the famous one in St. Peter’s in Rome.
The Statues which atop the roof of the Cathedral represent the thirteen parishes of Montreal and again imitate those on St. Peter’s in Rome.
There are many treasures to see whilst there, there are many paintings, beautiful stained glass window and panels. The Great Organ was built by Casavant Freres and installed in 1893. The company also did the maintenance work in the 1950’s.
A truly wonderful Cathedral to visit.

The Arganzuela Footbridge is a bridge crossing the Manzanares River. It was designed by french architect Dominique Perrault and finally built in 2011
(Dutch: Markthal) The building is a residential and office building with a market hall underneath. The ceiling is adorned with an 11.000 m2 artwork by Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam, named Hoorn des Overvloeds (Horn of Plenty). The artwork shows strongly enlarged fruits, vegetables, seeds, fish, flowers and insects.
The work was made using digital 3D-techniques. This enormous file needed special servers, which are also used for making animated movies. The digital 3D-animation was separated in 4000 pieces and then printed on perforated aluminum panels. The 4000 aluminum panels are now on the inside of the hall.

However, when I first processed them I was so pleased with the colour versions that I decided that the monochrome versions could wait.

Avec sa courbe spectaculaire et sa structure typique des années 20, ce magnifique escalier patrimonial situé au Printemps Haussmann qui répondent aux lignes rationnelles de l’Art déco

Since I began this McLean County series on March 2 of this year, the name of the Bloomington architect George H. Miller (1856-1927) has been mentioned countless times. Miller was the first architect to practice for any substantial period in Bloomington. He designed many public buildings, churches, office buildings, and private homes in Bloomington and the surrounding area, He also served as Superintendent of U.S. Buildings and designed many federal buildings throughout the midwest.
Many of the buildings Miller designed are now listed in the National Register of Historic Places or have achieved local landmark status. Between 1880 and 1910, it can be argued Miller had a greater impact on the appearance of Bloomington than any other single individual. This is particularly true in the period following the Great Fire of 1900 that, in a matter of eight hours, reduced 45 buildings and 4-1/2 blocks in the core of downtown Bloomington to little more than smoking rubble, including the 1868 McLean County Courthouse.
Miller's major works in downtown Bloomington that previously been posted in this McLean County, Illinois series includes the Central Fire Station, Chatterton Opera House, Corn Belt Bank Building, Livingston Building, H. J. Higgins & Co. Marble Works (a.k.a. Jung & Kleinau Building), George Brand Building, and the Elder Building.
This view shows Miller's house on W. Market St., five blocks northwest of the old McLean County Courthouse. Miller built this home in 1890 three years after his marriage to Rose Stautz, and lived here for the remainder of his life. The house is representative of a grander west side Bloomington home where many wealthier German Americans lived.
The Miller House is an eclectic variation on the Queen Anne design. Some have labeled the style as being Victorian Gothic, but the house does not rest well in any formal category. It is in a very real sense an expression of the architect's own personality, eclectic in detail but unified in overall conception.
The house features a hexagonal tower on its southeast corner and a conical dormer projecting from the front of the multi-component roof. The front entrance is arched and flanked by columns; small recessed porches are located above the entrance and on the east side of the house. The house also has several stained glass windows. The property was individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places on July 20, 1978.
It is disappointing to see how the George H. Miller House has been neglected. It is in need of substantial work to restore it to its historic appearance and, so far at least, I have come across no evidence that this is happening or is planned.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area.

Illinois Wesleyan University is located here, while the neighboring twin city of Normal is home to Illinois State University and Heartland Community College. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.
