"The oldest living city in the world".
This is a picture of Sampurnanand Sanskrit University which is an institution of higher learning in Sanskrit allied areas and which is located in Benares (Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh) in India.
I was surprised by the gothic style architecture of the building which is very unexepected here in Benaras.
I wanted to give a kind of vintage look to this image which suits this very quiet place, time seems to have stop here in the late 40's.
It is maybe the only quiet place nearby the house where I am living there.
In the year 1791, during British rule in India Jonathan Duncan, Resident of Honourable East India Company proposed an establishment of Sanskrit College for development and preservation of Sanskrit Vangmaya and to show that English people are in favour of development of India people.
This was sanctioned by Governor General Lord Cornwallis. The first teacher of this Institution was Pandit Kashinath. Governor General sanctioned a budget of Rs. 20,000 per annum at that time.
The first principal of Government Sanskrit College was the famous Sanskrit Professor John Muir, ICS followed by Dr. J.R. Ballentien, Ralph T. H. Griffith, Dr. G. Thevo, Dr. Aurthor Venice, Sir Ganganath Jha, and Gopinath Kaviraj among others.
In 1857, this College Started Postgraduate teaching. Whereas the examination system was adopted in 1880.
In 1894 the famous building of Saraswati Bhavan Granthalaya was built, where thousands of manuscript are preserved. These manuscripts are edited by the Principal of College and published in the form of book.
The series of these books are known as Sarasvati Bhavana Texts.
More than 400 books are published in this series.
After independence of India, in the year 1958 the effort of Sampurnanand changed the status of this institution from college to a Sanskrit University.
In the year 1974 its name was changed to Sampurnanand Sanskrit University.

London Midland Class 150 Sprinter 150107 waits for departure from University with the 18:26 1V25 Birmingham New Street to Worcester Shrub Hill. I had the option of catching a slightly earlier 323 EMU service, but I fancied a trip on a London Midland 150, something I haven't done for quite some time.
Had a great time taking some photos from the riverside at the University of Tampa on Sunday morning. This was my first time using the HDR function on my camera, and I am happy with the results.
Crepe Myrtle blooming adds to the exceptional beauty of the Administration Building!!! I mistook it for a Chapel!!!
University of Portsmouth student accommodation.
I usually photograph buildings making sure verticals are vertical etc.so thought try tilt camera at angle and look up to accentuate converging verticals, taken with wide angle lens.
Bit trial and error deciding where to crop.
Intent to make all b&w, but made some colour as top of building is yellow.
I like the clouds.
Crosscountry Class 220 Voyager 220033 cruises through University with the 12:17 (2E) 1M37 Bristol Temple Meads to Manchester Piccadilly. The tapered body profile is clearly visible in this view, although these units weren't designed to tilt. The similar Super Voyager units were built with tilt equipment but this has been disabled on the Crosscountry fleet.
UP 2208, 1992, & 5775 lead the UPBN transfer through University Junction on a cloudy June day. Usually I'm not a big fan of angles like this, but it was basically the only picture of this train that turned out somewhat salvageable. Taken on 6/10/18.
