Dresden, Germany.
Wikipedia: Built in the 18th century, the church was destroyed in the firebombing of Dresden during World War II. It was reconstructed as a landmark symbol of reconciliation between former warring enemies. The reconstruction of its exterior was completed in 2004, its interior in 2005 and, after 13 years of rebuilding, the church was reconsecrated on 30 October 2005 with festive services lasting through the Protestant observance of Reformation Day on 31 October.
Just one of the 3 main types of buildings, which include tram sheds, workshops and stables at the Old Tram Depot at 38-40 Upper Clapton Rd in Hackney, London.
A lovely old building in Woodbridge, but a bit boring photographically, so I've put on a gradient map and a watercolour effect. (It works on the tide rather than a stream or river, as you might imagine)

CHRIST CHURCH, Summerfield (Summerfield Cres. and Gillot Rd.), was built as a memorial to George Lea, Perpetual Curate of St. George's, Edgbaston, 1864-83. It is a building of stone in the Perpendicular style, with apsidal chancel, nave, aisles and transepts, designed by J. A. Chatwin. It was consecrated in 1885, a parish being assigned from St. John's, Ladywood, in the same year. Part of the parish was transferred to St. Augustine's, Edgbaston, in 1906. (fn. 48) The living, a vicarage since 1885, was in the gift of the Vicar of St. John's, Ladywood, for the first turn, and then of the bishop until 1905, when the Rector of Birmingham became patron. (fn. 49) The City Road mission room, opened in 1896, was transferred to the parish of St. Augustine, Edgbaston, in 1906. Old School Hall, Coplow Street, has been licensed for public worship since 1908, and Cavendish Road Hall since 1914. (fn. 50)
Style "néo-gothique" qui serait signé Jean Falp, mais je n'ai pas pu vérifier. Décidémment, ce quartier est plein de surprises.

From Wikipedia.org:
Enkhuizen is a municipality and a town in the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland and the region of West-Frisia.
Enkhuizen was one of the harbour-towns of the VOC, just like Hoorn and Amsterdam, from where overseas trade with the East Indies was conducted. It received city rights in 1355. In the mid-17th century, Enkhuizen was at the peak of its power and was one of the most important harbour cities in the Netherlands. However, due to a variety of reasons, notably the silting up of the harbours, Enkhuizen lost its position to Amsterdam.
Nowadays, Enkhuizen continues the maritime tradition and has one of the largest marinas of the Netherlands. It is also the location of the Zuiderzeemuseum, an open-air museum reflecting life in the villages around the Zuiderzee throughout history. Most of the buildings in the museum come from other locations in the Netherlands, such as Purmerend and Amsterdam.
Industrially, Enkhuizen is home to a number of seed production companies, as well as a plastics factory. Tourism, however, is one of the most important businesses as large parts of the inner city are still intact. This includes two magnificent 15th century churches, the largely intact 17th century city walls, gates and tower (the Drommedaris, see picture) and the 17th century city hall.
The demolition of Middlesbrough Police Station.
The demolition of Middlesbrough's former Dunning Road police station is under way as part of the latest phase of town centre regeneration.
Developers JR Properties have started work on demolition to make way for a new development which will include a 120-bedroom Express by Holiday Inn Hotel, new town centre offices and a 502-space town centre car park.
This is one of the buildings in "downtown" Mapleton. I liked its architecture and loved the red tree across the street. Again with the annoying power lines, though. Oh well.
This was my first stop in my new Oregon Towns Project.
I really like this view of midtown Atlanta from the bridge over the downtown connector looking north along Peachtree. With the trees lining the street and the long line of sight - long for Atlanta that is - it has the makings of a grand boulevard.
There are plans to develop this overpass to create a street scene that, in some respects, will reunite Midtown and Downtown, rent from one another by the freeway decades ago. Maybe in the years to come we can repair the damage done by the interstate highway system to other parts of our city.
