Looking up the steep wall of Neuchâtel Castle against a blue sky with some clouds. Can you see the clouds move, if you look at them for a longer period of time?

What a great design! Within the venerable old walls that have been left standing all around, Jean Nouvel has created a modern masterpiece. Old meets modern! An absolutely great transformation of the old building into a functional modern opera house.
The semicircular dome bends over the walls and above the building bends the firmament.
Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!
New York City - June 28, 2024: View of people and their shadows walking on the ground floor of the Oculus. The World Trade Center Oculus and Transportation Hub is located in downtown Manhattan. The Oculus was designed by Santiago Calatrava. The structure's white metal-clad steel ribs reach up and out in a monumental move symbolic of a hand releasing a dove.
The imperial war museum, currently exhibiting about the troubles in Northern Ireland. I wanted to present it in a moody way to represent my and I'm sure many others view of war.
El Saló Sant Jordi del Palau de la Generalitat, és la part més "moderna" del edifici, datant només del 1619. Primer fou una capella, però ben aviat ja fou un saló. Per desgracia, les pintures noucentistes que l' haurien decorat, de Torres Garcia, foren cobertes per "massa catalanistes", però es pogueren recuperar en part. De fet, és el segón cop que hi estic. El primer cop fou el 1991 (crec), quan vaig anar a recollir de mans del MHP Jordi Pujol un premi CIRIT pel meu treball de recerca sobre la batalla de l'Ebre.
Per el Sant Jordi de 2022, el primer normal des del Covid19, varem anar a visitar el Palau de la Generalitat.

======================
This is the "most modern" part of the Palau de la Generalitat. It was completed only in 1619, but the paintings are from the XX Century. It's my second visit of this place. First time was in 1991, when I won a school award for my work about the Battle of the Ebro (1938).
In Sant Jordi day (the patron saint of Catalonia) we went to visit the see of the Government of Catalonia, el Palau de la Generalitat, in Barcelona. It's an impressive mostly medieval building. As was typical of the times, it's not a purpose-built structure but a collection of re-used gothic palaces, that grew with the history of Catalonia.

A video of it's history, in Catalan:
Está construida de los huesos de más de 1.000 frailes carmelitas y en la puerta hay una inscripción que dice: Pára aquí a considerar que a este estado hás-de chegar.
Это самый большой храм в Пестум и лучше всего сохранившийся. Построенный примерно в середине пятого века до нашей эры, она воплощает в себе классические черты греческой архитектуры храма

"L'oeil de verre" is a panorama I took at "la défense" in Paris.
The magnificent fortress of Le Castella is located on the eastern end of the Gulf of Squillace in the province of Crotone. To be precise, in Isola di Capo Rizzuto looking out over the protected marine reserve of the same name. You don't need much imagination to see the Aragonese soldiers locked in combat with Turkish pirates five centuries ago.Точный век основание Ле Кастелла неизвестен, возможно, ее возвели в период Великой Греции. Впоследствии крепость претерпела целый ряд изменений и модификаций, наибольшие из них произошли в период Арагонского правления.
Tiriolo fu fondato, si dice, dai greci circa 600 anni prima della guerra contro Troia, Tryoros da cui il suo nome dai 3 monti che lo circondano. È possibile che venne fondato in questo punto per la sua grande posizione strategica; si dice anche che qui si sia fermato Ulisse e che il suo territorio sia la terra dei Feaci. La popolazione originaria era composta da greci, fino a quando il sito, circa intorno al 500 a.C., venne conquistato dalla popolazione di stirpe indoeuropea detti Brettii o Bruzi e perse i contatti con la madre-patria, la Grecia

Es un antiguo monasterio benedictino situado en Guadalajara, España. Su origen se remonta al siglo VII, si bien la estructura actual data de finales del siglo XI.
Built in the 1960s, this 16 storey tower block is scheduled for demolition later this year. It's interesting to consider its short lifespan, compared to the adjacent stone-built structure. It was probably built a hundred years earlier, and is still being used as a furniture shop!

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Surely every man walketh in a vain show: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. Deliver me from all my transgressions.
(Psalm 39:4-8)
Thank you to everybody that views, comments and for favouring my images. Always greatly appreciated.
Ba Na Hills resort is located nearly 1,500 meters above sea level and roughly half an hour west of the central Vietnamese city of Da Nang.
Ba Na Hills resort was discovered by the French in the late nineteenth century. They have built here many large villas, sports grounds and a range of restaurants. For nearly a century, war and time have made this place gradually desolate. Yet, since the end of the twentieth century, Ba Na Hills has been woken up with the efforts of local authorities and people there. This scenic area is being upgraded and expanded.

In Infra Red. According to the Daresbury Heritage group this building is called the round chevaral and is used as a control area for the Vyrnwy Aqueduct which passes under here taking Welsh water to Liverpool. Rumour has it that it is also used to make Bombay Sapphire Gin. In the distance are the cooling towers of the Fidler’s Ferry power station.

The house of Baron Fredericks (the official name until 1917 - "ministerial house with apartments for ladies") was erected in 1901–1902. Petersburg architect Alfred Avgustovich Biber. The three-storey building is designed in the so-called Baltic Art Nouveau style. On the western and south-western facades, metal decorations have been preserved - lattices, brackets, elements of awnings. There were several apartments inside, the largest of which belonged to Vladimir Borisovich Fredericks
Дом барона Фредерикса (официальное название до 1917 г. – «министерский дом с квартирами фрейлин») был возведен в 1901–1902 гг. петербургским архитектором Альфредом Августовичем Бибером. Трехэтажное здание выдержано в стиле так называемого «прибалтийского модерна». На западном и юго-западном фасадах сохранились металлические украшения – решетки, кронштейны, элементы навесов. Внутри было несколько квартир, самая большая из которых принадлежала Владимиру Борисовичу Фредериксу
