An architectural perspective of a segment of Baclaran Church between the pews and the open air side entrances. Baclaran, Manila, Philippines
A vault made to contain the most volatile of your experiments! And a crystal too.
See In-world and at marketplace.
While touring in Tuscany we used the old walled town of Lucca as a base of operations for a week. This symmetry of this scene caught our attention and the bicycles were an added extra.

El monasterio fue mandado construir por los Reyes Católicos tras haber vencido en la batalla de Toro en el año 1476, con el propósito de que fuera el mausoleo real donde se enterrasen a su muerte.
Se construyó entre los años 1477 y 1526 por el arquitecto Juan Guas y su estilo es gótico flamígero. Consta de un bello claustro de dos plantas, y la iglesia es la primera que tiene claustro a los pies, tradición que perdurará en España durante siglos. La decoración exalta los símbolos de los Reyes Católicos con un amplio programa propagandístico, con la leyenda "Tanto monta" y el águila, el yugo y las flechas entre otros.
La figure dominante de l'ensemble décoratif est le Christ Pantocrator en buste, levant la main en signe de bénédiction,
dans la main gauche, il tient l'Evangile de Jean, dans lequel on peut lire en grec et en latin: "Je suis la lumière du monde, ceux qui me suivront n'erreront pas dans les ténèbres, mais auront la lumière de la vie".
This is Allhelgonakyrkan, a gothic revival church in Lund, located in southern Sweden. I recall having to wait out some kind of choir practice before taking my photos.
I know there are a great many historical churches in England but this one is very extraordinary and almost unique. The village of Lastingham is in the North York Moors National Park and its village church St Marys is itself very old. However it’s when you enter the church and go down the steep stone steps in the centre of the nave that you really begin to travel in time.
There are records that suggest a monastery was founded on this site in about AD650 . Around AD 725 the first stone church was built, and Cedd an important missionary from Lindisfarne human remains were reburied beside the altar. Stephen of Whitby refounded the Saxon monastery as a Benedictine house in 1078. Stephen built this present crypt over the place where Cedd was believed to have been buried. The crypt has been relatively unchanged for well over a thousand years.
I have not visited the Crypt for many years and it was a great pleasure to descend again into this remarkable space, which has a strange quality of calm.
I would agree with Simon Jenkins, author of England's Thousand Best Churches, when he calls the Norman crypt of St Mary's church in Lastingham 'one of England's special places'. He’s certainly right.
Technically the image is far from perfect I was balancing deep shadows a bright window and some strong LCD lights but I think you will get a sense of the place. In terms of size I would guess its about 100 meters long and 40 meters wide
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED.

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.
