Staircase in the Technical University of Regensburg. The university also has an "Institute of Scalology", which is the science of the originalities and the appeal of stairs, or in brief, "knowledge of the staircase". This is the only one worldwide - with regard to my photographic obsession quite funny, isn't it? 😄
Next to the Sanssouci Park is the landmark of the University of Potsdam: The Communs, the representative outbuildings of the New Palace. A relatively young university that was founded in 1991.
Давненько Ужи не выбирались на белый свет,а все почему? Ясное дело-пресмыкающиеся, зимой впадают в спячку)) Потому навязала им теплых свитерков и вывела прогуляться. Скорей бы весна, да?
За чудесный лот спасибо Bonnie Hutton ( если моя память не спит с другим))
Warsaw University Library roof garden, covering an area of over 1 ha, is one of the largest roof gardens in Europe. The garden is divided into two parts: the upper and the lower part, which are joined by a cascading stream.
The lower part includes amongst others a fish pond, where ducks have taken residence, as well as a series of granite sculptures on cosmological themes. The upper garden comprises of four parts: the golden part (to the north), the silver part (to the east), the crimson part (to the south) and the green part (to the west). Each one features different vegetation whose colors reflect their names.
Individual sections of the garden are connected by paths, bridges and pergolas. The rooftop is also an ideal viewing point of Warsaw’s panorama as well as the library interiors.

Oxford Road, Manchester
My last outing with Eddie and Steve and to an area I’ve never visited. Once you pass under the bridge for Oxford Road Station it’s like passing through the Twilight Zone… a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination.
There are many areas of Manchester that are rough to say the least but here in university land the area in surprisingly new with modern architecture mixing in with the old. There is a laid-back vibe to the place, not surprisingly… it’s full of students. It’s clean, the odd bit of graffiti I spotted is even spelt right!
There’s a good insight into the University and its history on Wikipedia, but I’ll just attach the link rather than paste the lot in.
