Savoy Hotel Copenhagen is a 66-room, privately run hotel located at Vesterbrogade 34 in the Vesterbro district of Copenhagen, Denmark. The hotel is based in the rear wing of the Løvenborg Building, Denmark's first example of Art Nouveau.
The building was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1885.
The building was constructed for master joiner Carl Kaas-Rasmussen. In 1906, he demolished the existing buildings at the site. They included a four-storey residential building from 1861. The new building was completed the following year with the assistance of the architect Anton Rosen. It originally contained a cinema and a shop in the ground floor, commercial space in the middle floors, a residential apartment on the fourth floor and a seamstress in the attic
a breathtaking view, a place full of history and charm of the past and mysticism. It was a real surprise. Italy is truly full of wonderful places

Previously unpublished shot from September 2018. That moment when the texture of a coat catches your eye against a picture of some savoy cabbages. Just to be clear, in case you don't know me well, I am not calling her a cabbage. Enjoy!
Annecy, Haute-Savoie, Auvernia-Ródano-Alpes, France.
Annecy es una comuna francesa situada en el departamento de Alta Saboya, de la región de Auvernia-Ródano-Alpes.
Le vieil Annecy, (que no debe confundirse con Annecy-le-Vieux, otra ciudad fronteriza), fue un asentamiento de la época de los romanos. Annecy fue la corte de los condes de Ginebra o Genevois del siglo X. Pasó a los condes de Saboya en 1401. En 1444, se convirtió en la capital regional de las provincias de Genevois, Faucigny y Beaufortain. Con el avance del calvinismo, Annecy se convirtió en un centro para la Contrarreforma, siendo transferido el antiguo Obispado de Ginebra a él en 1535. Francisco de Sales nació en Sales en 1567 y sirvió como obispo de Annecy desde 1602 hasta 1622; sus reliquias se conservan en la catedral.
Durante la Revolución Francesa, la región de Saboya fue conquistada por Francia. Annecy se unió al departamento de Mont Blanc, cuya capital era Chambéry. La diócesis católica fue suprimida en 1801. Después de la restauración borbónica en 1815, Annecy fue devuelta al Rey de Cerdeña y la diócesis católica restaurada en 1822. Cuando Saboya fue anexionada a Francia en 1860 con el Tratado de Turín, se convirtió en la capital del nuevo departamento de Alta Saboya.
Como nueva comuna fue creada el 1 de enero de 2017, en aplicación de una resolución del prefecto de Alta Saboya de 14 de julio de 20163 con la unión de las comunas de Annecy, Annecy-le-Vieux, Cran-Gevrier, Meythet, Pringy y Seynod, pasando a estar el ayuntamiento en la antigua comuna de Annecy.
Annecy is a French commune located in the department of Haute-Savoie, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Le vieil Annecy, (not to be confused with Annecy-le-Vieux, another border town), was a settlement from Roman times. Annecy was the court of the counts of Geneva or Genevois of the 10th century. It passed to the counts of Savoy in 1401. In 1444, it became the regional capital of the provinces of Genevois, Faucigny and Beaufortain. With the advance of Calvinism, Annecy became a center for the Counter-Reformation, the former Bishopric of Geneva being transferred to it in 1535. Francis de Sales was born at Sales in 1567 and served as Bishop of Annecy from 1602 to 1622; his relics are kept in the cathedral.
During the French Revolution, the Savoy region was conquered by France. Annecy joined the Mont Blanc department, whose capital was Chambéry. The Catholic diocese was suppressed in 1801. After the Bourbon restoration in 1815, Annecy was returned to the King of Sardinia and the Catholic diocese restored in 1822. When Savoy was annexed to France in 1860 with the Treaty of Turin, it became the capital. of the new department of Haute-Savoie.
As a new commune, it was created on January 1, 2017, pursuant to a resolution of the prefect of Haute-Savoie of July 14, 20163 with the union of the communes of Annecy, Annecy-le-Vieux, Cran-Gevrier, Meythet, Pringy and Seynod, becoming the town hall in the former commune of Annecy.

Boasting an ideal location between the lake and the city, this luxury hotel now has a new wing in addition to its historic building and garden.
The tower you see is a from a different building and not part of this one.This is the 1881 (the year built is in Roman numerals behind the red flag) W.&J. Sloane Building at 889-888 Broadway between 18th and 19th Streets in the Flatiron district in Manhattan.There are some pretty fascinating detail on this structure.They're not very clear in the shot however.The link below shows them better.There are birds,monsters,angels,and other figures in the terra-cotta pilasters and panels on the facade.The brothers William and John Sloane,were natives of Scotland who mastered the craft of weaving.The Sloane firm gained a reputation for selling high quality goods after the Civil War and then catered to the New York carriage trade.They did well esp in the carpet industry controlling the product in a great number of domestic and foreign carpet- mills.They also did interior design,upholstery,and antiques.Nearly every major hotel in NYC-the Waldorf Astoria,Plaza,and Savoy among them-was decorated and carpeted by Sloane.daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2011/12/w-j-sloane-buildli...
After waiting at Faber for 5.5 hours the Pine mountain Branch local C-741 heads south at Rockholds. He'll go to Savoy and pick up two cars of logs and return to Corbin. It seems that after C-741 was heading south they discovered the Pine Mountain Branch was out of service account of a stripped joint at Gatliff.

Savoy cabbages just ask to be photographed! I've kept it simple here with about ten light-painted images blended in PSE. I use diffused LED torchlight for illumination.
Macro Mondays 'vegetables' theme.
I had lots of ideas for this week's theme but unfortunately I wasn't able to get to a shop to buy any of the more unusual vegetables. My friend Rachael can always be trusted to come up with things when I need a photo subject and in this instance I snaffled a couple of outside leaves from a savoy cabbage to experiment with. I like the resulting texture details.
