Peek & Cloppenburg Flagship Store, Vienna, Austria
The new Peek & Cloppenburg flagship store will be located on Kärtner Strasse, between
Johannesgasse and Himmelpfortgasse, in Vienna’s historic centre, a district protected as a
UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The starting point for the design was the idea of a “building with windows” – a modern, abstract
interpretation of a classical building typology, which is not freestanding but part of the overriding
structure of the urban area. The building will assert itself as tectonically powerful, and
demonstrate a long-lasting and institutional character through the selection of its materials and
proportions, whilst remaining modest and above all becoming an integral part of the street
façade. The defining material for the façade is a light-coloured, finely pointed Danube Limestone
(Donaukalk) – a typical Viennese building material. The façade will be solidly built, corresponding
in its materiality and craftsmanship with the historic context.
The new building volume will close the urban block as a continuation of the neighbouring
buildings. In its rational structure the design ties in strongly with the tradition of late Viennese
department stores. The façade will subtly react to the structure of the neighbouring buildings.
The window proportions and the ratio between closed wall and openings will reflect the historic
neighbouring buildings. The otherwise recessed glass layer will be brought forward on the ground
floor, transforming the wall openings into display windows at street level. On the fourth floor, the
façade will open up to the city through a loggia.
The six sales levels will be accessed from the main entrance on Kärtner Strasse via a central
atrium, flooded by daylight. A translucent glass and bronze structure crowns the atrium in the
tradition of the large department stores of the 19
th
century, acting as a counterpoint to the sales
areas with its textile stock.

Oh! There you are!
What a surprise to find the little lizard peeking over the leaf!
He remained still just long enough for me to fire off a few shots.

My wife and I spent part of the afternoon at Luther Britt Park. I was trying to capture this guy swimming. He slowed down as I snapped the shutter. Guess he was playing a game of peek a boo with the camera.

Take two of peek a boo - but still cute. Still trying to get better quality uploads. What am I doing wrong?
The Sociable Weaver (Philetairus socius) is a very common bird in Namibia. The name hints at the bird's behaviour as it's common to see a colony comprising hundreds of pair nesting in the same communal nests which can practically suffocate the trees that they nest in.
In this case, it's a single pair and look, there's our little sociable chap peeking out to say hello.

Fake blind panhandler (he opened one eye and peeked to see who's looking then shut his eyes again pretending to be blind) and guy with gun. Just another winter day on the streets of Tel Aviv

Taken for the Farktography contest Reflections, although I can't enter the selectively colored ones. They're still fun to do!
right before bedtime..shot in his "big boy" bed, just peeking through and happy as ever that he is not sleeping yet.
Well this little bunch of tulips has been shot through a glass of water but I wanted to make it a little more than obvious what I was shooting hence the little tulip, giving a little peek!
Our Daily Challenge ~ Through A Glass Of Water ....
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
Another self potrait right from my camera...
It's an action shot (I didn't put my hair up or anything)...
& it makes me happy!!!
I was visiting an elementary school in Spain with my daughter's kindergarten class and was so surprised to see how young they started school - this class was all 3 year olds!
This little girl with a face of an angel kept coming and peeking out at me so timidly. I just wanted to scoop her up and take her home and put her on a shelf somewhere!
