This week-end, we visited the Marais, a quite old and very nice area of Paris. We saw the square Place des Vosges and from there, the garden of the Hôtel de Sully (now a museum).
The sky was perfectly blue :)

Looking skyward in the Atrium of the new £840 million South Glasgow University Hospital (Southern General), my thoughts were of the game "Tetris"

Blackfriars Railway Station, London, England
A new station for me this one. I had never visited it before and was aware that it was still under modernisation and refurbishment. If you have not been you must as its an awesome station. They have used old existing bridge pillars (of an old railway bridge) to support all the platforms spanning the Thames, the only kind like it in the world I believe. Some of the station is still closed off to the public due to works but they are slowly getting it open and this is certainly one station that London can be proud of.
This is a photo of one of the entrance stairways up to the platforms of the new station. Quite unusual in design, they sort of have a modern yet retro feel to it. This scene reminds me of all the days playing Tetris on the Gameboy when I was a young lad, I think it must be the rectangular tiles that trigger this association off :-).

Information
Blackfriars station is being rebuilt. The office building above has been demolished and will be replaced as part of the Thameslink programme. The new station will be the same height and will house a shared National Rail–London Underground ticket hall and ventilation shaft together with escalators and lifts between a mezzanine level for National Rail services and the sub-surface level for London Underground services. The Underground station will also see major enhancements with a new roof of glazed north lights and partial-height glazed side panels to be installed along the entire length of the bridge. A new station entrance has been created at Bankside, where a second ticket hall has been provided.
The through platforms have been extended along Blackfriars Railway Bridge over the River
Thames to accommodate twelve-car trains (in place of the previous eight). The platform layout is being altered by building new platforms on the west side, avoiding the need for trains between City Thameslink and London Bridge to cross the lines that lead to the terminal platforms.
The works exploit the disused piers west of the existing railway bridge which once supported the former West Blackfriars and St Paul's Railway Bridge. The easternmost line of disused piers has been strengthened, tied into the existing bridge and clad in stone. The number of bay platforms is being reduced from three to two in the process, but some terminating services will become through services, and the increased length will allow longer trains to terminate at Blackfriars. The subway entrance to Blackfriars station has been permanently closed.
The original concept for the project was designed by Pascall+Watson architects, with execution by Jacobs and Tony Gee and Partners and is being built by Balfour Beatty.
By January 2011 the eastern half of the station's new roof had been erected, and First Capital Connect services began using the newly constructed platforms on the east side of the bridge, where the bay platforms used to be. Work is now proceeding on the western side of the station to remove the original Thameslink platforms and widen the bridge to provide space for the new terminus platforms. The station's new entrance and ticket hall on the south side of the river opened on 5 December 2011.
