Gallery in the 'new' extension building to the Palais (1968-73).
This is known as the Spence Halls, honouring British architect Sir Basil Spence, one of the building's major architects. The 'new' E building was a team project led by architect Eugène Beaudoin (France); the others were Jacques Carlu (France), Pier Luigi Nervi (Italy) and Carlo Broggi (Italy) who had also been a member of the Palais architectural team in the 1920s.
The window was the world’s biggest when it was built in 1971.
The Palais des Nations was built between 1929 and 1938 at the Avenue de la Paix in Geneva, to house the League of Nations. The League failed in 1939 at the outbreak of war and the buildings became the headquarters of the United Nations in 1946 after the end of World War II.
Student Nations are regional student associations at a university. A similar phenomena, outside northen Europe, are the fraternities at American universities, but it's imperfect comparison. The nation system was once a widespread concept in Europe, but now they only exist by some degree in Sweden and Finland.
This building is inspired by Norrland Nation in Uppsala, where I am quite involved. I tried to recreate a scene from the early 1900s. The scene captures a typical day of student life with alcohol, love, an infamous horse incident, fencing and so on.
It was the winning entry for Swebrick's contest "Staden vi byggde" (The City We Built)
October 26, 2015. Casselman is bordered by farmland on two sides, and a large natural area on the other two,with this river running between them. So in the fall it is host to hundreds of geese as they fly south (I keep yelling at them to come back, that summer's not over, but they don't listen).

This is looking straight up out of a 'pit' that we named the bellybutton or Alts'a. It was carved by the wind, in the rocks shown in the previous picture. Fort Defiance, Arizona. this is the whole hole, it's a pit, not a window. If you squint or look at the large version you can see my tripod on the rim, I didn't carry it down with me. This is a 'manual HDR', in that I took several photos at diff't exposures and then blended them...
The Council Chamber - also known as the Francisco de Vitoria Room.
The murals were painted on canvas by the Catalan artist José María Sert and gifted by Spain in 1936. They depict human progress through health, technology, freedom and peace – all united by five colossal figures representing the five continents.

Environment water transport system. The water cycle consists of precipitation, vapour transport, evaporation, evapo-transpiration, infiltration, groundwater flow and runoff. Figure 1 explains the global water cycle, illustrating how nearly 577,000 km3 of water circulates through the cycle each year. A table of estimated residence times shows the approximate times that water resources exist as biospheric water, atmospheric water and so on. The world’s surface water is affected by varying levels of precipitation, evaporation and runoff, in different regions. Figure 2 illustrates the different rates at which these processes affect the major regions of the world, and the resulting uneven distribution of freshwater. Water is transported in various forms within the hydrologic cycle. Shiklomanov in Gleick (1993) estimates that each year about 502,800 km3 of water evaporates over the oceans and seas, 90% of which (458,000 km3) returns directly to the oceans through precipitation, while the remainder (44,800 km3) falls over land. With evapo-transpiration and evaporation totalling about 74,200 km3, the total volume in the terrestrial hydrologic cycle is about 119,000 km3. Around 35% of this, or 44,800 km3, is returned to the oceans as run-off from rivers, groundwater and glaciers. A considerable portion of river flow and groundwater percolation never reaches the ocean, having evaporated in internal runoff areas or inland basins which lack outlets to the ocean. However, some groundwater that bypasses the river systems reaches the oceans. Annually the hydrologic cycle circulates nearly 577,000 km3 of water (Gleick, 1993).

I have to be thankful to Chandrachoodan for getting permission to shoot within the Chennai Central railway station.
I remember a default wallpaper in Windows 95 operating system that had a railway station with 2 trains. That is the picture that came to my mind when I saw this during the Photowalk. I try to do a similar processing to get the effect.

Carrie Nation (1846-1911) was a leader of the temperance and woman's suffrage movements. After the death of her first husband due to alcoholism, she became a vocal critic of the alcoholic beverage industry. The "Kansas cyclone" began to engage in violent acts of protest that involved her using a hatchet to destroy bars. She sold miniature hatchets to support the cause. This postcard appears to show supporters who wear the hatchets as a sign of their support of the temperance movement.
The United Nations Headquarters site in Manhattan covers approximately sixteen acres from 42nd to 48th Streets between First Avenue and the East River. Among the buildings on the premises are the marble-framed 39-storey Secretariat (to the left); the General Assembly building topped with a shallow dome; the Dag Hammarskjöld Library (to the left of the Secretariat); and the building housing the Council Chambers and Conference Rooms which lies on the river's edge. 23/Aug/1985.
