Das Flatiron Gebäude gehört zu meinen liebsten Häusern. Die einzigartige Fassade und Bauweise sind schon etwas ganz Besonderes für mich. Wenn ich auch nicht erklären kann warum.

The 1900 apartment building is located at 317 Bleecker in Manhattan.The monogrammed "G" on the fire escape were added around the 1940's and perhaps represent the cross street the building is near,Groves St.If you view larger you'll see some faces near the center.I personally like the fire escape reflection in the window.

The Flevo building is located on the Achtergracht in Zwolle and is a municipal monument from 1898.
For a long time the craft school was located here, later the IJsselmeer Polders Service was housed and hence plans for the Flevopolder were put into execution. Then the building was called 'Flevogebouw'. (Source: wikipedia).

I never tire of this view of St Paul's Cathedral from the South Bank, taking in the Millenium Bridge. Posted for Sliders Sunday
We paid an early morning visit to Langstone to coincide with the high tide. It was a beautiful morning with hardly a cloud in the sky. We managed to get a nice breakfast too at a nearby cafe/pub

The Church was built in 1799 on the former Caminho dos Pinheiros, today Rua da Consolação, with the help of alms from devotees to Our Lady of Consolation and with the endorsement of the diocesan bishop Mateus de Abreu Pereira were able to begin its construction, with the technique of taipa, quite common at the time. The oldest record of its construction is a document transcribed by Jacinto Ribeiro, in which it attributes the idealization of the temple to the faithful Luiz da Silva and his brothers. Located in a boggy and marshy region there is another document proving the Church's ancient existence: on November 23, 1803, an office was registered that showed the need for drinking water for the residents of the neighborhood "Nossa Senhora da Consolação". In view of the custom of baptizing the district with religious names, mainly related to sanctuaries, the Church, besides already existing, corresponded to an important piece for the functioning of the region. And, in the year 1810, a plant in the city of São Paulo contained the chapel.
