A beautiful ceramic/glass mural on the airport express platform at Kyoto Station. I have seen this several times, but since I have never used that particular route before, I never had a chance to get a good shot of it. I believe that is Yasaka Pagoda on the end (Hokan-ji).
My wife and I traveled by Amtrak to visit family in Maryland. We started our journey in Fayetteville, NC. Pictured is the loading platform at the depot. Across the tracks is the Airborne museum building.
The viewing platforms get more and more crowded as the journey continues, but offer excellent viewing options if you can't see well from your seat or just like fresh air.
Moori Station's Platform...... seems like it hasn't changed much since ages. Seems like dearth of development at times holds the beauty of things....
Installed between 1264-67, the relics platform is a vaulted stone kiosk with two bays.
La Sainte-Chapelle (The Holy Chapel) was commissioned by Louis IX (1214-70), Saint Louis, to hold his extensive collection of relics. Construction on the chapel began 1239, and it was consecrated 1248. The chapel held the Crown of Thorns, fragments of the True Cross, as well as the Holy Lance.
The chapel is built in the Rayonnant Gothic architectural style (running between 1240 and 1350).

This seems to be the last real remains of my brother's tree fort. Considering it was built and abandoned over 15 years ago, I'm impressed even this remains. This was the platform that was on the third story. How it is standing and arranged is how I found it when I arrived.
The end of winter, a sunny Sunday afternoon and the harbour in all its (occasional) calm beauty gave many scenes worth photographing.
The dive platform attracts divers keen to show their skills before a receptive audience.

A platform built on one side of the Sint Janskathedraal (Saint John's cathedral) in 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch). The platform is for the 'Wonderlijke Klim' (wondrous climb) giving visitors what might be a once in a lifetime oppurtunity to see the 96 unique sculptures on the flying butresses of the Sint Janskathedraal in (saint John's cathedral) in 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch). The Sint Jan is only one of four cathedrals in the world to have such sculptures. Instead of saints or angels, they depict monsters and common city people, from the architects and masons who worked on the cathedral, to beggars and musicians.
The 'wonderlijke klim' exhibition coincides with the grand Jheronymous Bosch exhibition at the Noord-Brabants Museum in Den Bosch, celebrating the 500th anniversary of the painter's death. Like the paintings of Bosch, the sculptures on the cathedral butresses are from the late middle ages, and depict monsters and common folk, which was a new theme in art at that time. Art from the early and high middle ages often depicted saints, angels and biblical scenes, but certainly not the common workfolk or even beggars. To have them adorning the outside of the cathedral no less, is very unique, and something that could only have been concieved in that particular time and place. Apparently, Jheronymous Bosch personally knew the artist very well who designed these sculptures.
