I went to school here in the 1980's when it was called the Christian Athenaeum/ van Lingen College. It's architect, Evert Jan Rothuizen (1888-1979) apparently changed his name in 1929 from Rothuizen (which translates literally to Rotten Houses) to Rotshuizen (Rock-Houses).
Makes sense, doesn't it?
wikipedia: Tokyo Tower (東京タワー, Tōkyō-tawā) is a communications tower located in Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. The 332.6-meter-tall (1,091 ft) orange and white lattice tower is the tallest self-supporting steel structure in the world, the tallest artificial structure in Japan and the 11th tallest tower in the world.
Built in 1958, this Eiffel Tower-like structure supports an antenna that broadcasts television and radio signals for important Japanese media outlets such as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV. In recent years, the tower has also been instrumental in Japan's push to switch from an analog signal to digital signal.
The tower is constructed of steel, a third of which was from recycled World War II scrap steel. Despite being 8.6 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower (32.6 if the tower's TV antenna is included), Tokyo Tower only weighs about 4,000 tons, 3,300 tons less than the Eiffel Tower.
Tablet made in the studio of sculptors Pierre van den Bossche and Willem Crevels, which was around the corner, at Lutmastraat 271.
This house dates from 1890 and was designed by Eduard Cuypers (1859-1927). It is part of an architectural unit of four houses, as a whole symmetrical and with another tablet at nr. 75, to be seen here.
To the left is Amsteldijk 79, also designed by Eduard Cuypers.
Update, 17 June 2012: the four houses at Amsteldijk 75-78 were designated municipal heritage on 22 May 2012.

"Four pylon-esque legs appeared, the bridge balanced on top. From the span dangled a carriage that was being shuttled back and forth across the water."

Hoa Lo jail is in the centre of Hanoi and was built by the French as Maison Centrale in the late 19th century. During the Vietnam War it was dubbed the "Hanoi Hilton" in the West. US Senator John McCain was jailed there among many other US POWs. What remains of it is now a museum. Two thirds of it was pulled down in the 1990s to build Hanoi Towers, two office and apartment highrise buildings visible in the background of this photo.

Mary and The Angel. The Church, in Bourganeuf, rural Creuse, is medieval but the window by Didron of Paris is dated to 1855. Didron was an iconographer, archaeologist and preservationist who founded a factory for gothic revival stained glass in 1849. He was responsible for the spectacular windows of Beauvais Cathedral and also worked in England, providing the beautiful windows at St Mary's in Feltwell, East Anglia. The church at Bourganeuf also contains stained glass by Thevenot.

This is an entrance of Kitara Concert Hall in Sapporo.
After a big weekend, it is not easy to spend Monday at work...
However it was a beautiful day in Sapporo. Maybe today was the hottest of the season.
Yup I love Summer.

First Baptist Church Dallas, one week prior to implosion of super block of buildings on October 30, 2010. ARC Abatement prepared the buildings by containing and abating the asbestos within the structures, leaving the site cleaner than ARC found it.
