A chance capture while wandering through the beautiful cathedral in La Rochelle, France. I loved the way the sitter was bathed in the soft glow of light above the altar, where the mind could wander free, a true step on the path to enlightenment.
La place d'Albertas est située en plein centre-ville d'Aix-en-Provence, à deux pas du cours Mirabeau.
Au XVIIIe, la famille d'Albertas est l'une des plus grandes familles de la ville. En 1724, Henri Rainaud d'Albertas commande à Laurent Vallon les dessins de la façade et de l'entrée de son hôtel. Pour dégager une belle perspective, il rachète, entre 1735 et 1741, les maisons situées en face et les fait démolir. Il souhaite la construction d'une place sur le modèle parisien des places royales.
Ce sera Jean-Baptiste d' Albertas, son fils, qui continuera son œuvre entre 1742 et 1746, en confiant ce projet à Georges Vallon, fils de Laurent.
La fontaine au centre fut érigée en 1862.
Aujourd'hui la place d'Albertas est un lieu de rencontre où amoureux, peintres, touristes, étudiants ou aixois se croisent, s'assoient ou profitent d'un concert.

Cragside is a country house near the town of Rothbury in Northumberland, England. It was the first house in the world to be lit using hydroelectric power. Built into a rocky hillside above a forest garden of just under 1,000 acres, it was the country home of armaments manufacturer, Lord Armstrong, and has been in the care of the National Trust since 1977. The property was opened to the public in 1979.
Architecture – Modern
This is another collection of buildings (some as photographed), glass panels, abstract shapes formed from buildings. Most are in London, although they could be any city. I have not named any building, nor have attempted to find Architects or Designers. Some I have just altered things to my own taste, nothing is sacrosanct, nothing lasts for ever, new ideas quickly become old as will these images be the moment I post them. Please enjoy.
