Het Steen is a medieval fortress in the old city centre of Antwerp, Belgium, one of Europe's biggest ports. The surviving structure was built between 1200 and 1225 as a gateway to a larger castle of the Dukes of Brabant which was demolished in the 19th century. As the first stone fortress of Antwerp, Het Steen is Antwerp's oldest building and used to be its oldest urban centre. The words "Het Steen", are dutch for The Rock.
The first documented mention of Antwerp Castle dates back to the 12th century. However, there was a castle here as early as the Carolingian period in the 9th century. The first castle may have been built after the Viking incursions in the early Middle Ages; in 879 the Normans invaded Flanders. The Margraviate of Antwerp came into being around 974. The Duchy of Lower Lotharingia was part of the Holy Roman Empire, while on the opposite bank of the Scheldt lay the county of Flanders, which was subordinate to the king of France. From 1076 to 1100 Godfrey of Bouillon was the Margrave of Antwerp. Godfrey I, Count of Louvain, received the duchy in 1106. His great-grandson was Henry I, Duke of Brabant who received the Duchy of Brabant in 1183.
Previously known as Antwerpen Burcht (fortress), Het Steen gained its current name in around 1520, after significant rebuilding under Charles V. The rebuilding led to its being known first as "'s Heeren Steen" (the King's stone castle), and later simply as "Het Steen" (the stone castle). The Dutch word "steen" means "stone", and used to be used for "fortress" or "palace", as in the "Gravensteen" in Ghent, Belgium.
The fortress made it possible to control the access to the Scheldt, the river on whose bank it stands. It was used as a prison between 1303 and 1827. The largest part of the fortress, including dozens of historic houses and the oldest church of the city, was demolished in the 19th century when the quays were straightened to stop the silting up of the Scheldt. The remaining building, heavily changed, contains a shipping museum, with some old canal barges displayed on the quay outside.
Richard Wagner's opera Lohengrin, which premiered in 1850, is set in Antwerp Castle around the year 933 under the reign of Henry the Fowler, with Elsa von Brabant as the main female protagonist and the swan knight Lohengrin, who magically appears on the river on a barge pulled by a swan when the king holds court hearing on the bank. Ludwig II of Bavaria had Neuschwanstein Castle designed by stage designers in 1869; its narrow rectangular inner courtyard is designed according to Wagner's stage directions for Antwerp Castle, with Elsa's wing on the left including the covered balcony on which she stands at the beginning of the second act.

ART FUTURA by
Paul Friedlander (born 1951) is a light artist who first trained as a physicist. Friedlander obtained a bachelor's degree in Physics and Mathematics at the University of Sussex and was tutored by Sir Anthony Leggett who later was awarded a Nobel Prize for his work on superfluidity. In 1976 he graduated with a B.A. in Fine Art at Exeter College of Art, UK. Friedlander worked as a lighting and stage designer for theatrical productions and avant-garde music before devoting himself to kinetic art at the age of 36. He lives and works in London, United Kingdom (UK).
Many of his works make use of persistence of vision, a property of how light is perceived combined with movement to create a three dimensional kinetic body of light in sculptural form. Friedlander applies his scientific knowledge to his art and is heavily influenced by Chaos theory, String Theory and cosmology
In Old Moat of The Tower of London, London
Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red was a public art installation created in the moat of the Tower of London, England, between July and November 2014.
It commemorated the centenary of the outbreak of World War I and consisted of 888,246 ceramic red poppies, each intended to represent one British or Colonial serviceman killed in the War.
The ceramic artist was Paul Cummins, with conceptual design by the stage designer Tom Piper.
The work's title was taken from the first line of a poem by an unknown soldier in World War I.
Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day owing to the tradition of wearing a remembrance poppy) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919,[1] the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities. Hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918, in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning. ("At the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 am.) The First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919.

Duisburg, Mercatorinsel, Skulptur "Echo des Poseidon" und Blick auf die dahinter stehende Skulptur "Rheinorange" und auf den linksrheinischen Duisburger Ortsteil Homberg.
Wie ein Schiffsbug ragt die „Mercatorinsel" hinein in das Mündungsgebiet von Ruhr und Rhein. Die Landzunge, zugleich nördlichster Punkt des Duisburger Hafen-Areals, ist seit dem 27. Mai 2016 Standort eines außergewöhnlichen Kunstwerks.
Die Bronze-Statue „Das Echo des Poseidon" erinnert an den griechischen Meeresgott, dem in der Antike die Kraft zur Beherrschung der Wellen und Stürme zugeschrieben wurde. Die Skulptur steht - beleuchtet und vor Hochwasser ausreichend geschützt - auf einem Sockel von ca. 6 m Durchmesser und ist insgesamt 10 m hoch. Die Skulptur selbst zeigt einen 6 m hohen Kopf mit Schultern, der zu schweben scheint, allerdings von einem 4,5 m hohen Sockel getragen wird.
Das Kunstwerk ist eine Kreation des berühmtesten zeitgenössischen deutschen Bildhauers, Prof. Markus Lüpertz, geschaffen aus Anlass des 300. Hafengeburtstages. Lüpertz würdigt damit sowohl die Verdienste des Hafens um den erfolgreichen Strukturwandel an der Ruhr, als auch die Region selbst, in der er u. a. zeitweise im Bergbau gearbeitet und Kunst studiert hat. 21 Jahre lang, bis 2009, leitete der universelle Künstler Lüpertz (neben der Bildhauerei hat er sich als Maler und Grafiker, aber auch als Bühnenbildner, Dichter und Musiker einen Namen gemacht) die Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, heute lebt und arbeitet er in Berlin.
Like the bow of a ship, the "Mercator Island" protrudes into the confluence of the Ruhr and Rhine.
The headland, which is also the northernmost point of the Duisburg port area, has been the location of an extraordinary work of art since May 27, 2016.
The bronze statue "The Echo of Poseidon" is reminiscent of the Greek god of the sea, to whom the power to control waves and storms was attributed in ancient times. The sculpture stands - illuminated and adequately protected from flooding - on a base of approx. 6 m diameter and is 10m high overall The sculpture itself features a 6m high head and shoulders that appears to be floating but is supported by a 4.5m high base.
The work of art is a creation of the most famous contemporary German sculptor, Prof. Markus Lüpertz, created on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the port. Lüpertz thus honors the services of the port to the successful structural change in the Ruhr, as well as the region itself, in which he e.g. temporarily worked in mining and studied art. For 21 years, until 2009, the universal artist Lüpertz (in addition to sculpture, he made a name for himself as a painter and graphic artist, but also as a stage designer, poet and musician) headed the Düsseldorf State Art Academy, today he lives and works in Berlin.

Not actually built for my birthday, but rather I visited here on my birthday, a castle I have always wanted to visit :) Disney's Cinderella castle was based on this design.
Neuschwanstein Castle is located in the Bavarian Alps, not far from Munich, and was built under 'Mad' King Ludwig, who with his love of opera and fairytales commissioned a stage designer rather than an architecht to build the castle. During it's construction, the king would sit at his father's neighbouring castle, and watch it being built through a telescope. It was never finished, as the King was declared insane and soon after died.
Art installation Bloodswept Lands and Seas of Red marks the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War and it is quite spectacular to see. Created by ceramic artist Paul Cummins and set by stage designer Tom Piper, 888,246 ceramic poppies will progressively fill the Tower’s famous moat. Each poppy represents a British fallen soldier during the war.
Weather was pretty awful this morning and I didn't think I'd get out at all but it cleared by mid day so I ventured into town and it was definitely worth it.
Prospect Cottage at Dungeness, Kent, home of Derek Jarman for the latter part of his life.
Derek Jarman (January 31, 1942 – February 19, 1994) was an English film director, stage designer, artist, and writer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Jarman
Neuschwanstein Castle, royal palace in the Bavarian Alps of Germany, the most famous of three royal palaces built for Louis II of Bavaria, sometimes referred to as Mad King Ludwig, who grew up nearby at Hohenschwangau Castle. Begun in 1869 and left unfinished at Louis's death in 1886, the castle is the embodiment of 19th century romanticism. In a fantastical imitation of a medieval castle, Neuschwanstein is set with towers and spires and is spectacularly sited on a high point over the Pöllat River gorge. The king worked with three different architects in succession: Eduard Riedel, Georg Dollmann, and Julius Hofmann, all Germans who based their designs largely on a scheme produced by German stage designer Christoph Jank.
King Louis was a patron of the German composer Richard Wagner, and the third-floor rooms reflect Louis's love of the legends used by Wagner in his operas: for Tannhäuser, a winter garden and stalactite grotto; for Lohengrin, the great chamber; and the unfinished Byzantine throne room, its vaulted ceiling supported by inlaid stone columns and decorated with stars. The Singers Hall on the fourth floor, with a coffered ceiling, is dedicated to the life of Parsifal, hero of another famous Wagner opera. The palace is now a popular tourist attraction.
It has 65 rooms and only 16 are finished. Louis II lived there for only 172 days. 6 weeks after his death, castle was turned, by Bavarian gvt. into tourists attraction.
Neuschwanstein Castle has - as the only candidate from Germany - the chance to belong to the "New 7 Wonders of the World". Together with the Statue of Liberty, the Kremlin, the Acropolis, the Colosseum and the Great Wall of China the world famous castle is among the 21 finalists of the vote ititiated by the New7Wonders Foundation.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Ida Schumacher (born 5 March 1894 in Arnstorf, Niederbayern (Lower Bavaria), as Ida Strömer and died on 6 April 1956 in Gauting) was a Bavarian theatre actress and comedienne.
Born in 1894 in Arnstorf, Ida Schumacher was first discovered at the age of thirteen for the choir of Münchner Künstlertheater (Munich Artist Theatre). Later, she studied singing but lost her voice in 1930 due to severe cold. She developed paralysis of her vocal cord, which resulted in her famous trademark of speaking with hoarse, constricted voice.
After several engagements at various theatres, Ida made an unprecedented late career as “Ratschkathl” from 1949 to her death in 1956. During that period, she was very successful as a folk actress at the theatres in Nuremberg, Tegernsee, and at Platzl in Munich.
Her role as Ratschkathl was unforgottenable due to the marvellous stage designer who created Elise Aulinger and perfected Ida Schumacher. Her famous figures included the Oardandlerin (Bavarian dialect for egg seller) and the Trambahnschienenritzenreinigungsdame (loosely translated as street car track cleaning lady).
As one of only six Münchner folk actors and singers, she was honoured in 1977 with a fountain monument topped with bronze figure, created by Marlene Neubauer-Woerner, at Viktualienmarkt. A street in her birth town, Arnstorf, is named after her.

This was taken the second time we visited The Tower of London, which I believe may have been the actual first full day of Brittian's involvement in the war as while we grabbed a bit of "refreshment" in a pub across the street, the telly was showing Prince William attending a ceremony marking the historic day for his country.

Set of Four Mary Poppins Felt Ornaments
Designed by Kevin Kidney
Felt, Wood, Hand-Painted Details.
Released in 2005. Limited Edition of 1500. © Disney
Each hand-sewn ornament features a whimsical stylization of one of the different costumes worn by Julie Andrews in the 1964 film: "Jolly Holiday", "Spoonful of Sugar", Mary Poppins' Flying Outfit, and "Chim-Chim-Cheree." The actual movie costumes on which these ornaments are based, were designed by Miss Andrews' then-husband, British stage designer Tony Walton, who received an Academy Award nomination for his costume work.
For the ornaments, I enjoyed the design challenge of attempting to create what amounts to a dimensional "Little Golden Book" painting in felt. The finished products had a charm all their own.

Il Parco archeologico di Siponto, è situato a pochi chilometri dalla città di Manfredonia in Puglia.
Nell’area archeologica accanto alla chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore di origine medievale, sono presenti i resti di una basilica paleocristiana del IV sec. d.C. a tre navate con abside centrale e pavimento a mosaico. Al fine di valorizzare tutta l’area archeologica, che comprende anche il restauro del complesso della chiesa di San Leonardo posto nelle vicinanze, e preservare i resti archeologici della basilica paleocristiana, il ministero dei beni culturali e la sopraintendenza archeologica della Puglia utilizzando fondi europei , ha approvato e finanziato il progetto dello scultore lombardo Edoardo Tresoldi.
L’opera d’arte a carattere permanente di Edoardo Tresoldi, ricostruisce sui resti archeologici della basilica
paleocristiana , i volumi in scala reale della basilica stessa sino ad una altezza di 14 metri ,utilizzando reti in metallo galvanizzato trasparenti. L’Opera d’arte,unica al mondo, ha richiesto l’utilizzo di sette tonnellate di rete metallica leggera e trasparente , e un lavoro protrattosi per circa tre mesi di una equipe di una trentina di persone tra cui archeologi, ingegneri e architetti e il gruppo di giovani creativi che collaborano con Tresoldi da diversi anni.
Scultore, pittore e scenografo, Edoardo Tresoldi ha un approccio artistico e di ricerca creativa e libera. Studia design e arti visive all'istituto d'arte di Monza. Nel 2009 si trasferisce a Roma e inizia a lavorare come pittore di scena per vari progetti cinematografici. La scenografia diventa un laboratorio di sperimentazione. Dal 2013 realizza sculture ed installazioni in rete metallica. Edoardo ha 28 anni, è di Cambiago, in provincia di Milano ed è considerato uno dei talenti della street art italiana. Si fa aiutare da una squadra in cui l’età media è 25 anni e anche i responsabili di Sovrintendenze ed Ente Paesaggistici, hanno riconosciuto il valore delle sue opere. A lui sono state affidati luoghi importanti, come le installazioni alla Vigna di Leonardo a Milano e alla Basilica di Siponto a Manfredonia.
.The Archaeological Park of Siponto, is located a few kilometers from the town of Manfredonia in the Puglia region. In the archaeological site next to the church of Santa Maria Maggiore of medieval origin, there are the remains of a paleoChristian basilica of the fourth century. after Christ, with three naves and central apse and mosaic floor. In order to enhance the whole archaeological area, which also includes the restoration of the complex of the church of San Leonardo nearby, and preserve the archaeological remains of an early Christian basilica, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and the archaeological superintendence of Puglia using European funds, have approved and funded the project the Lombard sculptor Edoardo Tresoldi.

I could write nice descriptions about buildings like the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building, seen here from Top of the Rock atop the GE Building, but everyone is probably familiar with these famous landmarks. What about those other buildings?
The Fred F. French Building is a 38-story skyscraper on the northeast corner of 45th Street at 551 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York City. Current tenants include ABM Industries and Richland Equity Resources Corp. DBA The Richland Group. It was erected in 1927 with a striking art deco facade contributing significantly to the international reputation of Fifth Avenue. The building measures approximately 430,000 rentable square feet and is currently owned by The Feil Organization. It is used primarily as an office building and also houses classrooms of Pace University. The building is one of the better known projects of the real estate developer Frederick Fillmore French. The lead architects were H. Douglas Ives and Sloan & Robertston. The National Register of Historic Places listed the building in January 2004.

10 East 40th Street or the Mercantile Building is a skyscraper located in the Murray Hill section of New York City, between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue, taking the width of the block between 39th and 40th streets. Designed by Ludlow & Peabody and built by Jesse H. Jones, it was finished in 1929 and is considered part of the art deco school of architecture. When it was built, it was the fourth-tallest tower in the world. It was previously known as the Chase Tower, after its first tenant, Chase Brass & Copper. Its owner until his death in 1938 was Frederick William Vanderbilt. On November 14, 2007, the building became the final site to be removed from Thomas Edison's original direct current grid in New York City. Today, some refer to the building as "the Napa Building", a reference to its long-time tenant Napa Group, Inc.

The Chanin Building is a brick and terra-cotta skyscraper located at 122 East 42nd Street, at the corner of Lexington Avenue, in Manhattan. Built by Irwin S. Chanin in 1929, it is 56 stories high, reaching 197.8 metres (649 ft) excluding the spire and 207.3 metres (680 ft) including it. It was designed by Sloan & Robertson in the Art Deco style, with the assistance of Chanin's own architect Jacques Delamarre, and it incorporates architectural sculpture by Rene Paul Chambellan. The tower rises 22 stories and then thins into a series of setbacks, reaching a total of 56 floors. When originally completed, the 50th floor had a silver-and-black high-brow movie theater. This floor and the 51st are now offices joined by a stairwell instead. Initially a dominant landmark in the midtown skyline, the building had an open-air observatory on the 54th floor. Having been surpassed in height by a number of buildings, most notably the Chrysler Building located across the street, the observatory has been long closed.

The Lincoln Building (now known as One Grand Central Place) is an office building located at 60 East 42nd Street in New York City, opposite Grand Central Terminal. It was completed in 1930. The architect was James Edwin Ruthven Carpenter, Jr. It is 673 feet (205 meters) tall with 53 stories and built in neo-gothic style. Although dwarfed by other buildings in the area, notably the Chrysler Building and MetLife Building, the Lincoln has a number of interesting features, including gothic windows at the top, the lobby, and the bronze model by Daniel Chester French of Abraham Lincoln for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. (after renaming of the building in 2009, the model was removed). It is currently tied with the Barclay Tower for the 49th tallest building in New York City.

The MetLife Building, originally called the Pan Am Building, is a skyscraper located at 200 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It is a recognizable part of the Manhattan skyline and one of the fifty tallest buildings in the United States. When it opened on March 7, 1963 the Pan Am Building (as it was known at the time) was the largest commercial office space in the world. It faced huge initial unpopularity, being described as an "ugly behemoth", due to its lack of proportion and huge scale—it dwarfed the New York Central Building to the north and the Grand Central Terminal to the south. The last tall tower erected in New York City before laws were enacted preventing corporate logos and names on the tops of buildings, it bore 15' tall "Pan Am" displays on its north and south faces and 25' tall globe logos east and west. Pan Am originally occupied 15 floors of the building. It remained Pan Am's headquarters even after Metropolitan Life Insurance Company bought the building in 1981. By 1991 Pan Am's presence had dwindled to four floors; during that year Pan Am moved its headquarters to Miami. Designed by Emery Roth & Sons with the assistance of Walter Gropius and Pietro Belluschi, the Pan Am Building is an example of an International style skyscraper. It is purely commercial in design with large floors, simple massing, with an absence of ornamentation inside and out. It has been popular with tenants, not least because of its location next to Grand Central Terminal. In 1987, the lifestyle periodical New York revealed in a poll that MetLife—then Pan Am—was the building that New Yorkers would most like to see demolished. Perhaps contributing to the hatred of the building is the fact that it is so visible. Situated behind Grand Central Terminal outside of the grid, the building, which would have otherwise been tucked away into the city, is left totally exposed and contrasted with the other buildings around it, most notably the New York Central Building, which is now called the Helmsley Building. Today the building is one of the most recognizable skyscrapers in the City.

The Sperry & Hutchinson Building is the home of S&H Green Stamps. The Kahn & Jacobs building dates to 1964; replaced the Manhattan Hotel as well as the National City Bank. The Manhattan Hotel was where Sigmund Freud stayed in August 1909 on his only visit to the United States. In May 1916, Sen. Warren G. Harding began his affair with Nan Britton here--a relationship that continued after Harding was elected president. A Citibank branch is now on the ground floor.

This building (HSBC Tower) is amongst the most expensive, on a per-foot basis, in the city's history. The building was originally planned as part of a project consisting of two identical towers facing one another on either side of the avenue to create a major gateway to lower Fifth Avenue. The building incorporates the new tower to three pre-existing buildings, one of which served as the original headquarters for Republic National Bank of New York.

The building (W.R. Grace Building) was designed principally by Gordon Bunshaft, and completed in 1974. The building was commissioned by the W.R. Grace Company, and was also used by the Deloitte & Touche, LLP, formerly Deloitte Haskins & Sells. The building is located at 1114 Avenue of the Americas (also known as Sixth Avenue), but the main entrance is on 42nd Street, between 5th and 6th. It overlooks Bryant Park and the New York Public Library. The building size is approximately 1,518,000 rentable square feet, and sits on a site approximately 100 x 442 feet (67,875 square feet). The ownership is currently Brookfield Financial Properties, LP. The exterior of the building is covered in white travertine, which forms a contrast against the black windows and makes the building appear brighter than those surrounding it.

505 Fifth Avenue, a new office tower in Manhattan, New York, USA, was occupied in the first quarter of 2006. Construction of the tower began in 2004 and was completed late in 2005. The Kipp-Stawski Group was the developer for the project and Kohn Pederson Fox Associates (KPF) was the official architect. During the planning stage, designers focused particularly on the views from the building. The columns were kept away from the perimeter of the tower and the main façade was designed to provide undisturbed viewing from the building. A higher quality of concrete was used to reduce the column sizes of the towers and increase office space.
