Dear friends, I cannot really access Flickr during my holidays, again, I am sorry:
I wish you all an Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
St Martin’s in the Fields, London
Situated in St Martin’s Lane, WC2, the entrance to the church faces Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery.
The year 1222 is the earliest reference to the church, however there is not much known about it until 1542, when, in the reign of Henry VIII, he had it rebuilt. Apparently to house plague victims and prevent them from passing through the Palace of Westminster.
In 1606 the building was enlarged, being built over the old graveyard. This was in the reign of James I, at the same time the old part of the church was fully renovated. Sometime later in the 1600’s galleries were added to increase the size of the congregation. Nell Gwynne was buried there.
During the eighteenth century funds were allocated to build new church, the architect James Gibbs was chosen to do the work. Between 1722, when the foundation stone was laid and 1724, the work was completed. The spire rises to 59mtrs (192 ft in old money). Although not popular in design at the time, this template has been used on many notable churches over the world. St Andrews church in Glasgow, and St Andrews church in Chennai, India.
The church is now famous for its work with the homeless and youth. It also has many concerts as well as jazz sessions in the Crypt.
The east window was designed by Shirazeh Houshiary and Pip Horne, it was manufactured by Michael Mayer of Munich. It reminds me of Edmund Munch’s ‘The Scream’. Although, that is not, the original intention. The Jacob’s Ladder story, being the influence.
The Sir Duncan Rice Library is the main academic library for the University of Aberdeen. It was designed by schmidt hammer lassen architects and completed in 2011. It is named after Duncan Rice, a previous Principal of the university.
The cube-shaped building can be seen prominently from the entire campus and much of the city. It is a seven-storey tower, clad in zebra-like jagged stripes of white and clear glass. The building has a floorspace of 15,500 square metres.
It houses several of the University's historic collections, including more than a quarter of a million ancient and priceless books and manuscripts that have been collected over five centuries since the University's foundation. There is also public exhibition space.
The library replaced the smaller Queen Mother Library as the university's main library.

St. Vitus Cathedral - 7
-----------------------------
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslaus and Adalbert (Czech: metropolitnà katedrála svatého VÃta, Václava a VojtÄ›cha) is a Roman Catholic metropolitan cathedral in Prague, the seat of the Archbishop of Prague. Up to 1997, the cathedral was dedicated only to Saint Vitus, and is still commonly named only as St. Vitus Cathedral.
This cathedral is an excellent example of Gothic architecture and is the biggest and most important church in the country. Located within Prague Castle and containing the tombs of many Bohemian kings and Holy Roman Emperors, the cathedral is under the ownership of the Czech government as part of the Prague Castle complex.[1] Cathedral dimensions are 124 × 60 meters, the main tower is 96.5 meters high, front towers 82 m, arch height 33.2 m.[2]

Photo prise dans l'ancienne maison de Do Lubitsch, mon ancien "home"
Avec le feu qui s'allume ou s'éteint
C'était une très belle maison où j'ai passé de très bons moments
Another part of the bathroom
Picture taken in one of Do Lubitsch's former house. My "home" at the time.
The fire can be on or off
It was a very beautiful house, full of nice souvenirs
I do not add the landmark, because the place is no more
Photo préparée pour le concours "Motifs Art et Science" de Paris Sorbonne. Elle n'a pas été choisie mais je l'aime bien.
Les tentes font partie du village de la science et vont contenir des animations scientifiques
A droite, les vitres du restaurant du campus, "L'Ardoise"
Au fond, les maisons de la rue des Fossés Saint-Bernard
Picture taken for the annual Paris-Sorbonne contest, called that year "Art and Science Motifs". She was not chosen but I like it very much.
The tents are built to create the science village and were there to display scientific activities for the public.
On the right, the campus restaurant, "L'Ardoise" ( = The Slate or - it is the same word in French - the bill).
In the far end, la rue des Fossés Saint-Bernard (Saint-Bernard's ditch's street)
In all train stations of Bangladesh, parked train compartments are often used by vagabonds, homeless drug abusers as a temporary shelter.
This was shot through an old, dirty glass window.
The 2008 Museum of Islamic Art is incredible. It is 4 floors and the top and ground level is for temporary exhibitions. 2nd and 3rd for the permanent collection. Presentation on all objects is top level.
It is build on a, specifically for this museum, man-made island. It is 50m high, on top is a dome and its all air-condioned ofcourse. This is the huge 45m high glass wall on the NW side which looks out on the Doha Skyline and lets in natural night to the central hall. On ground level is a fancy livingroom-like sitting area where they serve tea. It looked expensive and rich Arab people were sitting there counting their piles of money. I had jeans on and I looked like as if I had no money in my pocket (and I actually didn't have any money in my pocket.) so I sat there on the sofa looking thirsty.
A Christopher Columbus statue at the Columbus Circle, viewed through the glass windows of The Shops at Columbus Circle, New York City, NY.
Columbus Circle, named for Christopher Columbus, is a traffic circle located at the intersection of Eighth Avenue, Broadway, Central Park South (West 59th Street), and Central Park West, at the southwest corner of Central Park, Manhattan, NYC. It is the point from which all official distances from New York City are measured.
taken in the 5 höfe in munich, this photo showcases a man quietly sitting in a café, engrossed in his phone. captured through the café’s glass windows, the reflections of the surroundings create a complex and multi-layered scene. the various layers of reflections, the people walking outside, and the modern architecture create a rich visual experience. the black-and-white format enhances the contrasts and textures, giving the image a timeless atmosphere. this photo captures the stillness and contemplation amidst the hustle and bustle of urban life, inviting the viewer to explore the deeper layers of everyday life.

This is the first time I shoot a portrait of other person and I really liked the result.
(No textures added, it's just a dirty glass window)
The North Carolina Arboretum (434 acres) is an arboretum and botanical garden located within the Bent Creek Experimental Forest of the Pisgah National Forest at 100 Frederick Law Olmsted Way, southwest of Asheville, North Carolina near the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is open daily except for Christmas Day. There is no admission charge, but some parking fees do apply.
Although the idea for the arboretum stretches back to landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted in 1898, who wished to create an arboretum at the nearby Biltmore Estate, today's arboretum was established by the General Assembly relatively recently, in 1986, as a facility of the University of North Carolina. In 1989 the site was officially designated the North Carolina Arboretum.
The arboretum is still under active development. It includes many hiking and bicycling trails, a bonsai collection, a holly garden, a stream garden, etc., as described below. Its tree collection includes a fine set of Metasequoias planted in 1950, and now said to be the tallest in the south (over 100 feet (30 m) in height).
