"Strykjärnet"; The Flatiron building in Visby, Gotland, Sweden
"The Flatiron Building, or Fuller Building as it was originally called, is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, and is considered to be one of the first skyscrapers ever built. Upon completion in 1902 it was one of the tallest buildings in New York City. The building sits on a triangular island block at 23rd Street, Fifth Avenue, and Broadway, anchoring the south (downtown) end of Madison Square."

Some distinctive buildings within a block of the hotel I recently stayed at in NYC (located at 53rd and 3rd). I could have cloned out the trash on the sidewalks and streets in Photoshop (or picked it up prior to taking this photo), but figured I would keep this more authentic and representative of NYC by showing this scene as it actually appeared.
At night before going to bed, most of the nearby neighbors have turned off the lights, but I accidentally found that the opposite building looked like a robot. Thanks to those unexpected details, the lights of the people upstairs and downstairs coincidentally formed the robot's blue mouth and yellow eyes, especially striking in the dark night.
This photo was taken in the Panier (Old Town of Marseille). Did you know that Marseille is one of the oldest cities in Europe?
FangYuan DaSha (方圆大厦) was voted one of the ugliest buildings in the world. I'm actually quite fond of it. Shenyang China.
FALERII NOVI. - Quando nel 241 a. C. i Romani distrussero Falerii (v. falerii veteres) e ne deportarono gli abitanti in località meno forte naturalmente, fu scelto all'uopo un punto a 6 km. dall'antica città oltre il profondo Fosso Maggiore, sulla via Amerina, diverticolo della Flaminia. Questa città ha conservato il vecchio nome leggermente alterato, collegato alla chiesa romanica del XII secolo (della quale si ammirano tuttora le belle rovine), di S. Maria di Fàlleri. La località, abbandonata nel Medioevo, corrisponde alla Falerii Novi romana. La cinta muraria (metà del sec. III) pressoché intatta, di forma trapezoidale, misura 2108 metri di circuito, ed è il più bell'esempio di fortificazione di quel periodo. Da un lato un fiumicello, detto ora Rio del Purgatorio, forma una profonda valle, dall'altro le mura si innalzano sulla pianura e sono visibili dalla linea Roma-Civita Castellana-Viterbo. Si riconoscono circa 50 torri e 9 porte, fra le quali notevoli quelle dette di Giove (ad occidente) e del Bove (a scirocco). L'interno della città fu appena saggiato e meriterebbe una totale esplorazione; vi si segnalarono resti del teatro e del foro; mentre fuori delle mura si riconosce l'area dell'anfiteatro. Notevole è anche la rete stradale che si può riconoscere nel prossimo territorio, con ponti, tra i quali perfettamente conservato quello tra Falerii Novi e Sutri, dalla Via Amerina. In tutti i dintorni e specialmente lungo la strada tra Falerii Novi e Falerii Veteres, vi sono avanzi di tombe monumentali a camera, scavate nella roccia. Fra il 1885 e il 1891 fu rivelato tutto il territorio falisco; ma il lavoro è rimasto sospeso e inedito. Anche dopo il 219 Falerii conservò il suo foedus con Roma, ed ebbe allora come magistrati dei praetores. Dopo la guerra sociale divenne municipio ed ebbe come magistrati supremi i quattuorviri.

The perspective correction feature in Lightroom came in handy here.
On a very sunny day today I was able to capture this beauty. Just the sun was touching the building while the other buildings were almost in the dark giving it a good contrast.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

Two or three times a year I have a nightmare . I'm standing in front of some desolated building - sometimes it's a church destroyed and dark , sometimes a cottage , gloomy and decayed. I feel as if something powerful is pulling me inside . I'm scared to death and know that something terrible is going to happen to me . At the same time I wonder what it possibly might be because I know that I'm already dead. Usually at this point I'm slowly swimming up to safety of my bedroom overwhelmed with panic and fear...

Berlin-Mitte, Neue Nationalgalerie, Friedrichwerdersche Kirche und Hamburger Bahnhof, kommt mit und lasst die Bilder des 2. Tages auf euch einwirken! Es waren zwei anstrengende Tage. Beschreibungen sind hier glaube ich überflüssig!
After a wonderful visit to the Vatican and St Peter's Cathedral, Sue and I walked most of the way back to our hotel. We found this beautiful government building with a nice palm tree in front. This is a panorama constructed from 3 individual photos. Thanks to Vincenzo for letting me know it is the Palace of Justice, the seat of the Supreme Court.
