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.

Buildings on Belgrade Waterfront new chapter in the city of Belgrade, Serbia. Belgrade Waterfront, known in Serbian as Belgrade on Water is an urban renewal development project.
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.

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!
