The lamp posts in Venice always drew my attention. The stret lights we have here in california are functional, but lack personality! Funny how we are always drawn to the beauty of something different when we travel.
It is the oldest nucleus of Bagnoregio, also known as 'the dying city' due to the continuous erosion that relentlessly crumbles the tuffaceous hill of about 80 meters on which it stands. It is connected to Bagnoregio with a pedestrian viaduct of about 250 meters. This village is splendid and offers an insight into its history.
In ancient times it was connected to Bagnoregio through a gully, which in a short time disintegrated. Today it is connected to Bagnoregio through a somewhat unsightly pedestrian viaduct, but very functional for the large number of tourists who go to visit it. It is certainly one of the numerous Italian tourist pearls.
E' il nucleo più antico di Bagnoregio ,detta anche 'la città che muore' per le continue erosioni che sgretolano implacabili l'altura tufacea di 80 metri su cui sorge . E' collegata a Bagnoregio con un viadotto pedonale di circa 250 metri .
Splendido questo Borgo che offre uno spaccato della sua storia . Anticamente era collegata a Bagnoregio attraverso un calanco che nel giro di pochi secoli è andato disintegrandosi . Oggi è collegata a Bagnoregio attraverso un viadotto pedonale un pò antiestetico ma molto funzionale per la grande quantità di Turisti che vanno a visitarla . E' certamente una delle numerosissime perle turistiche Italiane .
This is my first image posted using my new Z8. While somewhat smaller than the Z9, the Z8 retains the majority of the functionality of its "big brother." This is also the first image I have posted from my new backyard shooting gallery. I'm still able to get creamy backgrounds while getting closer to my subjects without spooking them. Fun!

Ciamis West Java .
a famous bridge and border between ciamis and tasikmalaya district , it was functional bridge since the upper side is for train and the below side is for cars and motor bike
I visited here in October and the bridge was shut then, apparently its gone altogether now. I hope they replace it with a bridge that is beautiful as well as functional.
The Zarzma Monastery of Transfiguration (Georgian: ზარზმის მონასტერი) is a medieval Orthodox Christian monastery located at the village of Zarzma in Samtskhe-Javakheti region, southwest Georgia.
The Zarzma monastery is nested in the forested river valley of Kvabliani in the Adigeni municipality, 30 km west of the city of Akhaltsikhe. It is the complex of a series of buildings dominated by a domed church and a belfry, one of the largest in Georgia.
The earliest church on the site was probably built in the 8th century, by the monk Serapion whose life is related in the hagiographic novel by Basil of Zarzma. According to his source, the great nobleman Giorgi Chorchaneli made significant donation – including villages and estates – to the monastery. The extant edifice dates from the early years of the 14th century, however. Its construction was sponsored by Beka I, Prince of Samtskhe and Lord High Mandator of Georgia of the Jaqeli family. What has survived from the earlier monastery is the late 10th-century Georgian inscription inserted in the chapel's entrance arch. The inscription reports the military aid rendered by Georgian nobles to the Byzantine emperor Basil II against the rebellious general Bardas Sclerus in 979. In 1544, the new patrons of the monastery – the Khursidze family – refurnished the monastery.
The façades of the church are richly decorated and the interior is frescoed. Apart from the religious cycles of the murals there are a series of portraits of the 14th-century Jaqeli family as well as of the historical figures of the 16th century. After the Ottoman conquest of the area later in the 16th century, the monastery was abandoned and lay in disrepair until the early 20th century, when it was reconstructed, but some of the unique characteristics of the design were lost in the process.
Currently, the monastery is functional and houses a community of Georgian monks. It is also the site of pilgrimage and tourism.
A smaller replica of the Zarzma church, known as Akhali Zarzma ("New Zarzma") is located in the same municipality, near Abastumani. It was commissioned by Grand Duke George Alexandrovich, a member of the Russian imperial family, from the Tbilisi-based architect Otto Jacob Simons who built it between 1899 and 1902, marrying a medieval Georgian design with the contemporaneous architectural forms. Its interior was frescoed by the Russian painter Mikhail Nesterov.

A hospital ward, could be anywhere I would think. It is functional too, as long as you know what kind of functions are included or excluded. Is a "sense of beauty" functional? Is a piece of art included in the functions offered by a hospital? A flower perhaps? Small things can make a big difference. Most important is the other thing one cannot see in this picture - the humanity of the hospital staff and the person-to-person contact between nurses, doctors and patients. Whatever the architecture.

This 2nd-century AD amphitheatre in Europe’s longest continuously-inhabited city has witnessed many a dramatic, thundery Bulgarian summer and long, frosty autumns. Set among the six hills of the Thracian Plain, the amphitheatre offers rich views year-around whether you find a rewarding angle from Hemus Street or pay to explore the space itself – giving access to extraordinary details such as ancient district names carved into the seating to direct audiences to the appropriate zones. You could even take in a show in the evening, as the amphitheatre has been functional since being rediscovered following a landslide in the 1970s.
"When a silhouette or shape is as beautiful as it is functional and relevant, that's true luxury."

Functional is about the best way you can describe this building. No one was around at the time, and in fact you rarely see anyone around this police station - not the place to be seen perhaps. And you have to wonder what is being thrown out with the trash in that wheelie bin. But not all is prosaic. That sky is clearing and the light is breaking through. Beauty is all around if we look hard enough.

Two Mississippi style pleasure boats on The Thames. I suspect that the rear paddles are decorative rather than functional.
Dating back to 1670, Linlithgow Burgh Halls is a unique landmark building at the heart of the historic town. Celebrating the rich heritage of Linlithgow and the surrounding area, today it is a modern multi-functional venue; visitor attraction, art gallery, hireable space, café and much more.
Built for the “Ultimate Tree House” category of the MOCathalon. I’ve always wanted to build a tree house, so this was a very fun category for me, though still a bit tricky at times. The tree house features a working crane, tire swing, rope bridge, and a full interior.
Inspired by Legopard's beautiful tree house: www.flickr.com/photos/legols/24125168792/in/faves-1300938...
Fun fact: This build used all of the green, bright green, and dark green leaves in our collection.
Billy’s magnificent tree house is the most popular hangout area for all the kids in his neighborhood.

Loulé is a traditional Portuguese market town and one of the most popular day trip destinations of the central Algarve region. It’s boastful and characterful historic centre, lively market and traditional Portuguese atmosphere attracts visitors year on year keeping the small town alive.
Portugal is one of the few remaining European countries that still operates functional produce markets. The focal point of Loulé is the Arabic inspired market, with outdoor and indoor stall selling local produce, fresh fish and regional handicrafts. The market is surrounded with busy shopping streets and a warren of medieval alleys and beautiful traditional houses that make for a great day out.
Loule Market is open Mon- Saturday from 7am to 3pm. The best time to visit Loule is on a Saturday morning [...] when the daily market expands to include a farmer’s market which spills onto the surrounding streets with fresh local produce. It is worth getting there early as many of the fresh food and fish stalls will start to pack up as soon as their produce is sold. Google

Malham Smithy was once the workplace of Bill Wild, famous for his metal working skills. The smithy was bequeathed to the parish church on his death and is now the workshop and gallery of Annabelle Bradley who brings to life past skills and fuses these with more modern techniques.
Annabelle runs blacksmith experience days and designs and hand forges sculptural and functional wrought ironwork.
Details of an exterior wall of an old, but well-preserved half-timbered (FR = à colombages. DE = Fachwerk) home. There is probably some structural or functional reason for this confusing assemblage, but not one that I can see. However, it makes an interesting piece of architectural abstract realism.
