The Roman Catholic church of St Charles in Gosforth was built in 1911 (replacing an earlier iron-built structure) and is a handsome building with two small west steeples flanking the main facade and a wide cruciform body culminating in a shallow apse. The interior is partially enlivened by marble-cladding, particularly around the sanctuary.
The outstanding features here however are in glass, principally the two large windows that dominate the north and south transepts, the largest windows in the church and both filled with gloriously rich stained glass by Harry Clarke Studios of Dublin and installed in 1945 (long after the death of Clarke himself and most likely designed by his successor Richard King). The south window depicts the Nativity, whilst that to the north represents the Deposition, with Christ's body being removed from the Cross. There is a further window by the same studio in the south nave clerestorey depicting Christ before Pilate, somewhat smaller and sadly less accessible.
This is a thoroughly rewarding church to visit for lovers of stained glass, though it is best to check with the church about access as it isn't always open outside mass times.

Now in its second century, the 1918 built structure is a L&NW Railway type 5 design.
Again, a box that has seen a huge downturn in movements during the past few years. It is still pivotal to signalling trains to Fiddlers Ferry power station so will likely be around for a while yet.
I remember visiting this place as a Duty Manager many years ago and it was hit and miss as to whether or not you'd be faced with a long walk round from the car park as a result of a huge rake of MGR wagons being dumped across the walking route!
The line has long been lifted but where it was can be seen in this shot, on the left hand side.
The signalmen told many a tale of interesting sights when the nearby famous Mr Smiths nightclub was kicking out!

View of the magnificient frescos depicting Heaven, Earth, and Hell, inside the main prayer hall of Vank Cathedral (Holy Savior Cathedral, Church of the Saintly Sisters), in Isfahan, Isfahan province of Iran.
The cathedral was established in 1606, dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of Armenian deportees that were resettled by Shah Abbas I during the Ottoman War of 1603-1618.
The interior is covered with fine frescos and gilded carvings and includes a wainscot of rich tile work. The delicately blue and gold painted central dome depicts the Biblical story of the creation of the world and man's expulsion from Eden. Pendentives throughout the church are painted with a distinctly Armenian motif of a cherub's head surrounded by folded wings. The ceiling above the entrance is painted with delicate floral motifs in the style of Persian miniature. Two sections, or bands, of murals run around the interior walls: the top section depicts events from the life of Jesus, while the bottom section depicts tortures inflicted upon Armenian martyrs by the Ottoman Empire.

The announcement made in October 2009 by General Secretary Kim Jong-Il, the North Korean leader, to have built 100,000 apartments in Pyongyang by 2012 officially aims at facing the housing shortage in the capital city. But it also represents a challenge to give evidence of the communist regime overall prosperity. The Stalinian regime had already pretended to amaze the rest of the world in the 1950’s claiming its ability to construct an apartment for a family in 14 minutes only!
This time it might be a little different. Despite the university students’ conscription and the mobilization of the army, many observers doubt the ability of North Korea to complete the buildings by its founder’s 100th birthday in 2012. In fact, it is not only a matter of housing: the energy and water supply as well as transports for 100,000 families need the building of extra-infrastructure.
Lately, reports have emerged of construction projects having been downsized and sites idling due to materials shortages. By the end of 2011, only 500 units are built, which forces the authorities to reduce the target to 20,000 to 25,000 apartments in total.

Beautiful brickwork & tilework inside the interior chamber of Sultan Amir Ahmad Bathhouse, a traditional Iranian public bathhouse in Kashan, Iran. It was constructed in the 16th century, during the Safavid era; however, the bathhouse was damaged in 1778 as a result of an earthquake and was renovated during the Qajar era.

A few kilometers outside of Dohuk, Iraq, what was supposed to be a five-star hotel has become a nightmarish makeshift refugee camp. After ISIS attacked Sinjar, massacring and enslaving the local Yazidi people, a few of those fortunate enough to escape have sought refuge at the massive “Hotel Kayar” (literally “place where one receives friends). With construction stalled in its early stages, the concrete structure is an inhospitable environment for the 63 Yazidi families who now call it home. Children play with no railing or walls to prevent them from falling. “We just want tents like the other refugees,” said one man, after a storm recently ravaged the little infrastructure they managed to set up in the two months they’ve been here. With a cold winter right around the corner and scarce food and water, the future looks dire.And the kids keep smiling...
