Городская ратуша Коломбо расположена в районе Cinnamon Gardens и является его главным украшением. Этот прекрасный архитектурный памятник способен восхитить каждого путешественника.
Здание было возведено по плану С. Дж. Эдвардса, и за образец архитектор взял вашингтонский Капитолий. Строительство стартовало в 1924 году, а торжественное открытие ратуши состоялось в 1927-м. Неоднократно она реставрировалась, поэтому дошла до нас в очень хорошем виде.
Двухэтажное белоснежное здание являет собой яркий образец неоклассического стиля. Окна первого и второго уровней не отличаются обилием декоративных элементов. По всему периметру ратуша украшена строгими круглыми колоннами с лаконичными капителями. Особенно восхищает центральный выступающий портик, плоская крыша которого поддерживается рядом колонн, дарящих конструкции легкость. Основную часть здания венчает большой купол, покоящийся на широком барабане с колоннами. На нем разместилась изящная конструкция, которая напоминает тот же самый купол, но гораздо меньшего размера.

Corfe Castle again, but this time on long exposure.
I love the way the clouds where moving that day and I guess because all the storms that happened on the following days, that was just an indication how things would be. It was just two days in UK, but Mark Bauer and I went to some fantastic locations.

Double entendre. Reflections of course meaning those in the water here but also because this was my first trip away alone in 2 months (not the 1 month I thought). It allowed me to think about my recovery, where I am now compared to not so long ago, about the next steps, basically reflect on my life. Even my photography, because I was in such a rut with it. This trip allowed me to think more clearly about so much and funny enough, I got one of my favourite photos out of it.

All visitors of Burano remain intrigued by the many colours and the colorful houses that are reflected into the green waters of channels, by the leaning bell tower, by the tranquility and the calmness with which the elderly ladies embroider original Burano lace by their tombolo (or lace pillow), while they are laughing and chatting in squares among them. It seems to be in paradise.

El Pati dels Tarongers és un dels espais més coneguts i bonics del Palau de la Generalitat. De fet, es troba a la planta principal del Palau.

======================
This is the Pati dels Tarongers (Orange garden), an irregularly shaped main floor terrace, ornated with several orange trees, as was usual in late-medieval palaces.
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:
Milan Cathedral, called Duomo di Milano in Italian, is a vast Gothic-style cathedral, located in the heart of Milan. It is 515 ft (157 metres) long and 302 ft (92 m) wide. It can house up to 40.000 people. Il Duomo di Milano is one of the largest Catholic churches in the world. The construction of Milan Cathedral began in 1386, which coincided with Gian Galeazzo Visconti coming into power. The purpose of this impressive construction was to modernize the area and to celebrate the expansion of the Visconti territory. The Cathedral took five centuries to complete. During this time, various architects, sculptors and artists contributed to the famous construction program known as the “Fabbrica del Duomo”. The result was an impressive and unique piece of architecture, which merged the international Gothic style with the Lombard Romanesque style.
С учетом всех декораторских работ строительство осуществлялось 579 лет. Мало какие сооружения могут похвастаться столь серьезным и длительным подходом к созданию уникального произведения искусства. В массивной церкви может вместиться около 40 000 человек. Если взглянуть на здание с высоты птичьего полета, то станет ясно, что оно напоминает католический крест, у которого вертикаль составляет 158 м, а горизонтальный неф – 92 м. Наивысшая точка собора – шпиль, украшенный статуей Девы Марии, высота самого высокого шпиля – 106 м.
Just photographing a painting in a museum is not very challenging....and not very interesting to look at if you just stand in front of it and point the camera directly at it. That's why I try to make the picture more interesting (and challenging for me) by including the surroundings.
Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!
