On a long winterwalk over the "heavenly hills" I was attracted of this gate and the veranda and thought they looked good together, formating a structural unit...

Built according to the design of architect János Feketeházy, the bridge opened in celebration of the 1000th birthday of Hungary in 1896. Structurally, the bridge is a cantilever bridge with an Art Nouveau style truss – although on first glance, it looks like a chain bridge. After its destruction during the Second World War, the bridge was the first in the city to be rebuilt and was reopened in 1946 according to the original design.
Construction on the Hotel Saint Gellért started in 1912. The hotel was named for Saint Gellért (St. Gerard Sagredo) the first bishop of Hungary in the 11th Century. The 176-room hotel was designed by Hungarian architects Ármin Hegedűs, Artúr Sebestyén and Izidor Sterk. Work on the hotel slowed due to World War I, and it did not open until September 1918, just as the war was ending and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was descending into chaos. The hotel was commandeered for the national government's use in 1919, after the downfall of Hungarian Soviet Republic. Once Hungary was established as an independent country, the hotel in its early years were so successful that it was expanded in 1927 with 60 more rooms and a wave pool. Noted Hungarian restaurateur Károly Gundel took over management of the hotel's restaurants in 1927 as well. In 1934, the hotel added a jacuzzi pool.
The hotel was severely damaged in World War II. Post-war Communist authorities removed the "St." from the hotel's name and it became the Hotel Gellért. Restoration of the Gellért Hill wing began in 1946, while work on the main Danube River wing began in 1957. Restoration work was completed in 1962. The hotel was again renovated in 1973. Danubius Hotels assumed management of the hotel in 1981. After the company was privatized in 1992, it purchased the hotel outright in June 1996. The adjoining spa is owned and operated by the City of Budapest.
Hotel Gellért is famous for its thermal baths. The Gellért Spa which is connected to the hotel, is a very special attraction with its indoor and outdoor swimming pools, wave bath, sunbathing terrace and thermal spa. The jacuzzi, with its glass roof, and the wave bath are favorites among guests. Even though Gellért Spa is independently owned, guests of the hotel can use the facilities for a discount.

A quick photo op this afternoon when we stopped at an intersection and I had my little Sony handy. There are a lot of nice details in this warm sandstone building, St John the Evangelist Episcopal Church, built in 1895, Elkhart, Indiana.

This large Etruscan cemetery reflects different types of burial practices from the 9th to the 1st century BC, and bear witness to the achievements of Etruscan culture. Which over nine centuries developed the earliest urban civilization in the northern Mediterranean. Some of the tombs are monumental, cut in rock and topped by impressive tumuli (burial mounds). Many feature carvings on their walls, others have wall paintings of outstanding quality.
The necropolis near Cerveteri, known as Banditaccia, contains thousands of tombs organized in a city-like plan, with streets, small squares and neighbourhoods. The site contains very different types of tombs: trenches cut in rock; tumuli; and some, also carved in rock, in the shape of huts or houses with a wealth of structural details. These provide the only surviving evidence of Etruscan residential architecture.
A small milestone of reaching 1,000 pictures posted here. This "oldie" is a favorite of the famous maple in Portland. Stripped of its leaves its structural beauty is clear.

The Baroque observatory is considered the structural symbol of the monastery of Kremsmünster, and at the time of its construction was known as the "mathematical tower". In art history it is described not only as one of the historical beginnings of modern highrise building architecture but also as the first preserved independent museum edifice. At first the monastery authorities had contemplated erecting the observatory above the bridge gate. Fr. Anselm Desing had already completed plans and a wooden model, which has been preserved. This project was abandoned and in 1748 the decision was made to erect a fully free-standing building in the garden. Once again, the designs were drawn up by Desing, and construction was completed within ten years. This nine-storey structure was meant to house a universal museum in which the visitor would be led from inanimate nature (minerals and fossils on the second floor) over to lower living nature (plants and animals), on to the human sciences and arts (art chamber and picture gallery on the third and fourth floors), then on to the cosmos (the observatory on the sixth floor) and finally to the reflection of God (the chapel on the seventh floor).
