During our small tour through Amarillo, we noticed traffic was less and that probably was a good thing as we strolled through the streets of Amarillo looking at each part of the city. What a fun adventure

A Ponte do Bairro dos Anjos, em Leiria, é uma obra de engenharia do século XIX ️. Esta ponte pedonal em arco, sobre o Rio Lis, liga as margens do rio mediante um tabuleiro plano, acessível por degraus. A sua estrutura imponente, com talhamares e muros espessos, é um testemunho da arquitetura de comunicações da época. 🚶♂️
The see-through church, officially "Reading Between the Lines," is a unique artwork in Borgloon, Belgium. Designed by the architectural duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh in 2011, the church consists of 100 stacked steel plates. Due to its open structure, the building appears solid from some angles and almost transparent from others. This symbolizes the interplay between landscape, architecture, and spirituality. The see-through church is a popular tourist attraction and offers an impressive view of the surrounding Haspengouw region.

One of Taipei’s most standout and recognizable buildings is the Grand Hotel, known in Chinese as the “Yuanshan Great Hotel” to locals. Once the tallest building in Taiwan (although it has been long overshadowed by newer skyscrapers), it is one of the few remaining examples of Chinese classical architecture present in Taiwan and is a permanent fixture in Taiwanese history and politics.
We drove by this unique little stable with a horse posing perfectly in the doorway.... catch it on the way back.... You should never pass up an opportunity in the moment. Of course on the way back, the horse was not co-operating at all!
As we walked down the streets of Santa Fe, the one comment I heard is how certain architecture reminds them of Portugal.

California, USA
Stanford was founded by a railroad magnate, U.S. Senator, former Governor of California Leland Stanford, and his wife, Jane Stanford.
From an architectural point of view, the Stanfords wanted their university to look different and sought to emulate the style of English university buildings. They specified in the founding grant that the buildings should "be like the old adobe houses of the early Spanish days; they will be one-storied; they will have deep window seats and open fireplaces, and the roofs will be covered with the familiar dark red tiles." Stanford University’s original campus opened in 1891, was designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, best known for co-designing New York City's Central Park. Olmsted's design for Stanford featured a grand, open quadrangle surrounded by low-rise buildings in a Mission Revival style, which became a defining architectural feature of the campus. The main buildings were designed by Charles Allerton Coolidge of the Boston architectural firm Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge, under Olmsted’s guidance.

Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. Originally known as Boulder Dam from 1933, it was officially renamed Hoover Dam, for President Herbert Hoover, by a joint resolution of Congress in 1947. Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water and produce hydroelectric power. In 1928, Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium called Six Companies, Inc., which began construction on the dam in early 1931. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques were unproven. The torrid summer weather and lack of facilities near the site also presented difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned the dam over to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule. Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States by volume (when it is full). The dam is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Hoover Dam is a major tourist attraction; nearly a million people tour the dam each year. The heavily traveled U.S. Route 93 (US 93) ran along the dam's crest until October 2010, when the Hoover Dam Bypass opened. As the United States developed the Southwest, the Colorado River was seen as a potential source of irrigation water. An initial attempt at diverting the river for irrigation purposes occurred in the late 1890s, when land speculator William Beatty built the Alamo Canal just north of the Mexican border; the canal dipped into Mexico before running to a desolate area Beatty named the Imperial Valley. Though water from the Imperial Canal allowed for the widespread settlement of the valley, the canal proved expensive to maintain. After a catastrophic breach that caused the Colorado River to fill the Salton Sea, the Southern Pacific Railroad spent $3 million in 1906–07 to stabilize the waterway, an amount it hoped in vain would be reimbursed by the Federal Government. Even after the waterway was stabilized, it proved unsatisfactory because of constant disputes with landowners on the Mexican side of the border. As the technology of electric power transmission improved, the Lower Colorado was considered for its hydroelectric-power potential. In 1902, the Edison Electric Company of Los Angeles surveyed the river in the hope of building a 40-foot (12 m) rock dam which could generate 10,000 horsepower (7,500 kW). However, at the time, the limit of transmission of electric power was 80 miles (130 km), and there were few customers (mostly mines) within that limit. Edison allowed land options it held on the river to lapse—including an option for what became the site of Hoover Dam. In the following years, the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), known as the Reclamation Service at the time, also considered the Lower Colorado as the site for a dam. Service chief Arthur Powell Davis proposed using dynamite to collapse the walls of Boulder Canyon, 20 miles (32 km) north of the eventual dam site, into the river. The river would carry off the smaller pieces of debris, and a dam would be built incorporating the remaining rubble. In 1922, after considering it for several years, the Reclamation Service finally rejected the proposal, citing doubts about the unproven technique and questions as to whether it would in fact save money.
The “Depot Boijmans” Van Beuningen is the first art storage facility in the world that offers full access to a museum’s complete collection. The Depot has a different dynamic to that of the museum: there are no exhibitions, but you can browse amongst 151,000 artworks, alone or with a guide, and get behind-the-scenes glimpses of - among other things - conservation and restoration.
Usually many international museums can only showcase six to seven per cent of their collections in exhibitions. The remaining 94 percent is hidden in storage. Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen breaks with this tradition of concealment. The architectural design makes visible what until now was mostly invisible. It is unique and iconic reflective building, specially designed by MVRDV to meet the requirements of this unprecedented typology. Once completed, visitors of the Depot can immerse themselves in the world behind the scenes of the museum. Surrounded by art, visitors are led upwards through the atrium via five large zigzag stairways that are reminiscent of the etchings from Giovanni Piranesi.
99 percent of the building can be visited by the public. The form of the 39,5-metre-high Depot is ovoid, a building ‘in the round’. Its bowl-like shape means that the ground-level footprint is small – maintaining views into and routes through the Museumpark – while the roof is as expansive as possible. The crisscrossing staircases that will lead visitors to exhibition rooms and curators’ studios will also lead up to the rooftop, and the structures in the atrium will eventually hold glass display vitrines.
The Depot was designed by architect Winy Maas.
Please notice that the word “Nieuw” sits in the reflection on the building’ skin. These are there because of “Het Nieuwe Instituut” for architecture, design and digital culture

This is a 3-shot HRD on a tripod. The initial merge was done with Aurora HDR 2018. I used 3 layers for post-production and used serval pre-sets that I adjusted. Finally, I added some copyright signs (in PS). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.
