New building facade: The Dutch Vault
Royal Dutch Mint, Houten (NL)
After countless juxtapositions it has become clear to me that these can be found everywhere. For the unsuspecting audience, the complicated juxtapositions are often too difficult to read, while the simple ones are too easy for the attentive observer.
Now it's time for something different, a subject that has always fascinated me. Surprising compositions in the everyday, a special view of buildings, lines made abstract. I hope the intention comes across. The name of the new series is Lines and planes.
This curious building suggests depth that, on closer inspection, is based on optical illusion. From a distance, this hall is a real eye-catcher. It is the new warehouse and distribution center of the Dutch "Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt" in Houten. The KNM produces not only Dutch coins but also delivers coins to over 70 countries worldwide.
Designed by Wastiau & co architects from Belgium, the warehouse looks like a massive gold brick. The golden color on the outside was specially made to match the colours of the Euro coins.

I just like this railway station ... I only pass through though on my way to elsewhere ... and one day I will stay longer and discover the town ..
Tout simplement j'aime cette gare ... je suis pourtant toujours de passage.... et un jour je resterai plus longtemps pour découvrir un peu cette ville.
At the time of taking this I wished I'd had a good looking model to put in the foreground, the little boy from the shot before last for instance, but there was no one there, but now several months later I quite like the picture.
A single exposure processed in Lightroom.
So, this evening my flickr pages have changed again..... Why is it they always add something that makes it worse!!!
Edit: have I been the subject of a hoax? Pages I opened over about half an hour had a new appearance, and now they've gone back to how they were before....phew!
Thank you very much for your comments and for your faves.

Its pretty rare these days that i dont end up playing with a shot in photoshop for a good half hour. But this one is completely unaltered, not even the slightest bit of cropping. I rock! :D

Lying halfway between Lisbon and Oporto in the Beiras region of central Portugal, venerable Coimbra nestles on the banks of the River Mondego in dignified glory. Famed for its university - the oldest in the country - and a fantastic collection of handsome churches, serene monasteries, and lively cultural institutions, Coimbra is also a busy commercial hub with its many shops, boutiques, and appetizing choice of cafés and restaurants. No.9 oldest University in the world although originally established in the Portuguese capital in 1290, the University of Coimbra, was relocated a number of times by demanding kings, finally ending up in Coimbra, the country’s third-largest urban center and home to much Roman-era history. With a student community of almost 25,000, the University of Coimbra has been through many radical reforms, and for decades of the 18th century it was the only operating university in Portugal. In 2013, the University of Coimbra was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in recognition of its historical buildings, open courtyard, cultural traditions and stunning city-wide views.
The small but charming Capela de São Miguel aat the University of Coimbra was built in 1517 to replace a former mediaeval private oratory. The project belonged to Marcos Pires although he died in 1521 and his work had to be finished by Diogo de Castilho. The entrance to the chapel is through a neo-classical door made by José de Carvalho in 1780. Inside, the walls of the upper choir and pulpit are covered in 18th-century azulejo panels, made in Coimbra but denoting a Dutch influence. In the nave, the tile covering consists of 17th-century azulejos made in a Lisbon workshop. Visitors should also take note of the baroque organ from 1733, decorated with patterns denoting an oriental influence.
De Portugese stad Coimbra heeft tijdens de middeleeuwen gefungeerd als hoofdstad. Destijds stond de stad bekend als Aeminium. De plaats ligt ongeveer 120 kilometer ten zuiden van de stad Porto vandaan. In Coimbra zijn veel waardevolle herinneringen bewaard gebleven die ons meer kunnen vertellen over de afgelopen zeven eeuwen. De universiteit heeft hier een groot aandeel in gehad. De Universiteit van Coimbra is één van de oudste universiteiten van Europa en daarmee van de wereld en is de oudste universiteit van Portugal. De studenten houden de historie volle stad Coimbra goed in leven. De Universidade de Coimbra heeft het zijn eervolle vermelding vooral verdient aan de hoogstaande kwaliteit en diversiteit van kundigheid aan wat er wordt gepresenteerd. De universiteit heeft naast de vijf campussen ook nog een prachtigebibliotheek Joanina, botanische tuin, theater, musea, bioscoop en heel veel prachtige oude gebouwen die samen de universiteit van Coimbra vormen. Niet voor niets is het onlangs toegevoegd op de lijst van Unesco World Heritage Site. De kleine maar prachtige kapel van de heilige São Miguel werd gebouw in 1517 ter vervanging van een oud, middeleeuws privé-oratorium. De bouw werd uitgevoerd door Marcos Pires. Hij stierf in 1521 voordat hij zijn werk kon voltooien, zodat Diogo de Castilho dat deed. De muren van het hoogkoor en het gestoelte tonen tegeltableaus die in de 18e eeuw in Coimbra werden gemaakt, met Nederlandse invloeden. De muurtegels van het middenschip zijn uit de 17e eeuw en werden in Lissabon vervaardigd. Opvallend is ook het barokke orgel uit 1733 dat versierd is met afbeeldingen met oosterse invloeden.

اصفهانا سرزمینم را نگینی
گوهر تابنده ایران زمینی
سر فرازا سر خوشا اکنون
بایتخت امت دین مبینی
ای نسیما بر سر کویت صبحگاهان شامگاهان
بر مشام عاشقان خاک گتروی سباهان
Hard to resist not to try it again while I'm there. The famous central hall of the London Natural History Museum.

Cathédrale Saint-Just-et-Saint-Pasteur de Narbonne, Aude, Occitanie, France
Narbonne Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Just-et-Saint-Pasteur de Narbonne) is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in the town of Narbonne, France. It is a national monument and dedicated to Saints Justus and Pastor.
It was the seat of the Archbishop of Narbonne until the Archbishopric was merged into the Diocese of Carcassonne under the Concordat of 1801.
The cathedral is situated in the heart of the present city of Narbonne, but in the Middle Ages was located by the city wall.
The idea to build a Gothic cathedral was a political decision made in 1268 by Pope Clement IV, the former archbishop of Narbonne. He decided that it would be a monument made in the magnificent style of the Kingdom of France.
