A little bit of abstract architecture today with a shot taken whilst walking around the St Paul’s area of London.
This building is tucked away slightly but well worth photographing as it has several different compositions.
It’s always nice to see colourful buildings in the city, it makes a change from all the glass and stone.

Even though it is no longer the nation's official capital, Yangon – formerly Rangoon – remains Myanmar's largest and most commercially important city. Yangon is the country's largest city with a population of nearly six million. This city is a melting pot—a diversity of cultures and communities in terms of people, settlement and religions. The Shwedagon Pagoda is one of the most famous pagodas in the world and it is certainly the main attraction of Yangon. Locally known as Shwedagon Zedi Daw The, it sits atop of a hill and is 99 meters high. It can be seen from most places of Yangon day and night as the golden roof illuminates the city. According to some, the pagoda is 2,600 years old, making Shwedagon the oldest pagoda in the world. However, no official documents attesting its construction exist and its age is still a matter of debate. Shwedagon PagodaThe main gold-plated dome is topped by a stupa containing over 7,000 diamonds, rubies, topaz and sapphires, the whole giddy concoction offset by a massive emerald positioned to reflect the last rays of the setting sun. There is little wonder that the Shwedagon is referred to in Myanmar as The crown of Burma. As Myanmar's most revered shrine it has always been customary for families, mendicants and followers of the Buddha to make the pilgrimage to the Shwedagon.
The Shwedagon Pagoda officially named Shwedagon Zedi Daw and also known as the Great Dagon Pagoda and the Golden Pagoda. No visit to Myanmar is complete without a visit to the 2,600 years old Shwedagon Pagoda, which enshrines strands of Buddha's hair and other holy relics. Located west of the Royal Lake on 114 -acre Singuttara Hill in Yangon, Shwedagon Pagoda is the most sacred and impressive Buddhist site for the people of Myanmar.
Yangon is de voormalig hoofdstad van Myanmar. Het is voor de meeste reizigers het startpunt van hun rondreis door Myanmar voor ons het eindpunt. Voor de grootste stad van het land komt Yangon relatief relaxed over. De sfeer is er gemoedelijk en het verkeer is nog lang niet zo jachtig als in de buurlanden Thailand en India. De stad grenst in het westen en zuiden aan de Yangon rivier. De stad is behoorlijk uitgestrekt. Gelukkig heb je voor een paar duizend Kyats, de munteenheid van Myanmar, een taxi of fietstaxi te pakken.
Vanuit het centrum van Yangon nemen we een taxi naar de tempel van Shwedagon Pagoda. De tempel ligt aan de Shwedagon Pagoda Road in het Dagon Township en de weg er naartoe is al indrukwekkend. De 2.600 jaar oude gouden pagode schijnt vanaf een heuvel over de stad en is moeilijk te missen. De Shwedagon Pagoda is de grootste tempel in Myanmar en is bedekt met 50.000 kilo bladgoud en vele duizenden kostbare edelstenen. De kegelvormige pagoda is 99 meter hoog en bevindt zich op de heuvel Singuttara in een buitenwijk van Yangon. Een bezoek brengen aan de indrukwekkende bouwwerk is de moeite zeker waard. Dag en nacht is het er levendig met gezang en gebeden van boeddhistische monniken en gelovigen. Rond de tempel vind je allerlei spirituele shopjes, astrologen, handlezers en Boeddhabeelden. Stupa's zijn oorspronkelijk grafmonumenten en wordt er de as van gecremeerde heiligen bewaard. Gedurende de ontwikkeling van het boeddhisme heeft de stupa in de verschillende gebieden ook diverse vormen gekregen maar volgens dezelfde basisregels gebouwd en is een afspiegeling van het universum. De vierkante basis staat voor de aarde, de feitelijke stupa voor het element water, de spits met dertien schijven voor het vuur, het zon/maan- symbool voor de lucht, terwijl het kleine vlammetje erboven vlammetje erboven voor ether, de bovenlucht staat, de hoogste verlichting. Deze vijf elementen zijn tegelijkertijd symbolisch voor de vijf zintuigen, de vijf onderdelen van het lichaam van boeddha, kortom, het universum

Cloister and bell tower - Basilica of San Zeno - Verona
Principale capolavoro del romanico in Italia, la basilica di San Zeno è uno degli edifici più importanti della città. E' dedicata all'ottavo vescovo di Verona, un santo di origine africana a cui si attribuiscono numerosi miracoli e la conversione al cristianesimo delle popolazioni venete. Il nucleo originario della Basilica di San Zeno risale al IV secolo, quando una piccola chiesa fu eretta vicino al luogo di sepoltura del Santo.
L'interno della chiesa, con pianta a forma di croce latina a tre navate, presenta una peculiare suddivisione su tre livelli: la cripta è in basso, sovrastata prima dalla chiesa plebana e poi dal presbiterio (o Chiesa Superiore) a cui si accede mediante due maestose scalinate in marmo. Anche il grande Chiostro (a cui si accede attraverso la navata di sinistra) è in stile romanico e risale al XII secolo: composto da numerosi archetti sorretti da colonnine binate, racchiude antichi sepolcri, preziosi affreschi e una edicola che conteneva il lavatoio dei frati.
Basilica of San Zeno, Verona
Main masterpiece of Romanesque architecture in Italy, the Basilica of San Zeno is one of the most important buildings of the city. It is dedicated to the eighth bishop of Verona, a saint of African origin to which are attributed many miracles, and the conversion to Christianity of Veneto populations. The original nucleus of the San Zeno Basilica dates back to the fourth century, when a small church was built near the site of the Holy Burial.
The interior, with a Latin cross plan with three naves, presents a peculiar split on three levels: the crypt is at the bottom, topped by the first parish church and then from the presbytery (or Upper Church) which can be accessed via two majestic marble staircases. Even the great cloister (which is accessed through the left aisle) is Romanesque and dates from the twelfth century, composed of numerous small arches supported by twin columns, contains ancient tombs, ancient frescos and a shrine containing the wash of the friars.

When I was young the answer was "Poke him in the eye!" But these days I suspect traffic and parking are enough to make a Maltese very cross indeed. Around Valletta and Sliema traffic is horrendous and parking no better, both a real nightmare. For a change there was nothing in front of this garage, so I was able to get my photo. But this was probably the exception to the rule...
