"I concluded at the last to set up my staff at the library door in Oxon; being thoroughly persuaded, that in my solitude, and surcease from the Commonwealth affairs, I could not busy myself to better purpose, than by reducing that place, which then in every part lay ruined and waste, to the public use of students..."

Architecture , Colossus , Rotterdam
For those who have noticed.
Last week I've made a subtile remark in my upload that maybe, just maybe, it's time for architectural pictures. And I mean, heavy, modern , architectural shots.
Not my main idea, but one has to go with the flow, and some of you may know that my working location is not in the forests.
Sometimes one gets tired of working around the buildings to photograph a little piece of nature. So my friends, here it is, a new serie. Because it's rather new to me, comments and critiques are very welcome. Need to learn a lot, but my friends, I've got the scene covered.
I work in Rotterdam!
Thanks for visit, comments and awards

Standing in front of a pretty castle, you have, of course, to take pictures from many different angles - but this is the last one of the series.
This is the manor 'La Saucerie' (in French Manoir de la Saucerie), built by Robert Le Saucier. He was a servant to the queen of England, Eleanor of Aquitaine (when the kings of England also were dukes of Normandy) in the late 12th century.
A medieval motte castle was built on the spot. But in the late 16th century, or early 17th, the top part of the castle was replaced by the wooden structure still seen today, and the place (which was, by then, terribly out of fashion) was turned into something like a gate-house for a proper Renaissance manor, built nearby. The later manor burnt down in 1860, but these medieval parts art still standing.

At the core of the modern bridge - bearing arch bridge, built in 1911-1912 by engineers NI Oskolkov, MI Schekotova and architect RI Klein (featuring AD Chichagova) as a monument to the Battle of Borodino to 100- anniversary of World War II. Rebuilt in 1952 and 1999-2001, with the replacement of carrying spans, extension and superstructure supports.

The subtle effect of shapes on the associative understanding of the world has always fascinated me. The objective observer detects a symmetric space in the middle of an organ is. What identifies our subconscious?
