The United Nations Secretariat Building is a 154 m (505 ft) tall skyscraper and the centerpiece of the United Nations Headquarters, located in the Turtle Bay area of Manhattan, in New York City. The lot where the building stands is considered United Nations territory, although remains part of the United States.
It has 39 stories and was completed in 1952. The building was designed by the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer and the Swiss/French architect Le Corbusier. This building is connected to the Conference Building to the north that houses the General Assembly, the Security Council, among others, and a library building to the south.
The building houses the administerial functions of the UN, including day-to-day duties such as finance and translation, and the offices of ambassadors and delegates.
As part of the UN complex, the building is subject to an agreement between the United Nations and its host country, the United States.
The UN Secretariat Building was recently renovated, starting in May of 2010, and reopened via phased reoccupancy with the first occupants moving in July of 2012.
The building style has inspired some notable copies, including the Headquarters of South Lanarkshire Council in Hamilton, Scotland - known locally as the "County Buildings".
On October 29th, 2012 the basement of the UN complex was flooded due to the hurricane/super-storm Sandy, leading to a three day closure and the relocation of several offices.

I took this photo during the last full moon - March 27, 2013. The conditions were awful for photography -- it was gray and dreary -- so I decided to process the image in the Nik black and white conversion software to make it more interesting.

I'm embarrassed to admit how many years I've been working in the squiggly brown building on the right and drinking beer on a bar stool in the squiggly white building in the middle, wondering if the reflections would make a good picture. ;-)

St. Paul, Minnesota
January 21, 2017
Over 90,000 people gathered in St. Paul and marched to the Minnesota capitol to protest Republican President Donald Trump. This protest was in solidarity with the national Women's March on Washington DC. The protesters spoke out against Trump's proposed policies and decried the rhetoric of the 2016 election for being insulting and threatening to women.

The Temple Of The Four Winds
Early in 1724 Vanbrugh sent Lord Carlisle some designs for a pavilion for the south-east corner of Ray Wood, and shortly afterwards he was pleased to learn that the Earl had at last chosen the Temple with four Porticos.
Known originally as the Temple of Diana, the building - a cube with dome and porticos - is modelled in part on Andrea Palladio's famous 16th century Villa Rotonda in Vicenza. By the time of Vanbrugh's death in 1726, the Temple was unfinished and another ten years were to pass before the interiors were finally decorated with scagliola in 1738 by the stuccoist Francesco Vassalli.
Beneath the temple is a cellar where servants would have stored and prepared food before serving it to polite company above. Used as a place for refreshment and reading, it commands impressive views, and to the north, a quarter of a mile away, is the site of Hawksmoor's Temple of Venus.
This had been built in the 1730s in the form of an open rotunda of eight Tuscan columns under an octagonal entablature and dome, but it collapsed in the 1940s. Vanbrugh's Temple narrowly avoided a similar fate before it was restored in 1955, one of the first of the major restoration projects undertaken by George Howard after the Second World War. In 2001 the Hon Simon Howard held his marriage ceremony with Rebecca Sieff in the Temple.
It is hoped that Hawksmoor's lost temple can be rebuilt. In 2001 the base of the Temple of Venus was cleared revealing a low octagonal plinth and surrounding walkway. The original statue of Venus has survived and is today located in the Venus Rose Garden.
Drinkstone Windmills are a pair of windmills at Drinkstone, Suffolk, England. They consist a post mill and a smock mill. The post mill is Grade I listed and the smock mill is Grade II listed. The mills were known as Clover’s Mills as they were always worked by the local Clover family.
Drinkstone smock mill was built in 1780 on a horse mill which had been in existence in 1689. It is a two-storey smock mill on a single-storey base, which originally housed a horse mill. The mill has a pepperpot cap which was originally winded by a chain and wheel, a fantail being added towards the end of its working life. The mill was last worked with a pair of Common sails and a pair of Spring sails. The windshaft was a wooden one. The millstones were supported on a hurst frame, an arrangement usually found in a watermill.
In the 1920s the windmill was dismantled, the wind-driven machinery removed and engine-driven gear installed, primarily for feed milling. This includes 2 pairs of stones on a hurst frame, hammer mill, mixer and elevator. Adjoining to north is a small timber engine shed containing a 25 h.p. Ruston and Hornsby oil-engine (installed 1932) from which the machinery was belt-driven. An interesting adaption of a windmill illustrating the final phase of rural milling.
"Space and light and order.
Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep."
(Le Corbusier - French Architect and city planner (born in Switzerland), 1887-1965)
This is a part othe main wall of the Secretariat building in Chandigarh, the capital of the Indian state of Punjab.
It is a long horizontal concrete slab form of 254 meters long and 42 meters high which was designed by the French (born Swiss) architect and urban planner, Le Corbusier, in the 1950s.
The building is composed of six eight storeyed blocks separated by expansion joints and bears close resemblance to the Marseilles apartment block.
The façade of the building gives a sculptural appearance with exposed concrete ramps, perforated with small square windows dominating the front and rear views.
The building façade is provided with projects for sun control.
