Nestled in the midst of "Museum Mile", which includes the Guggenheim Museum and the Frick Collection, and diagonally across from the Metropolitan Museum on the southeast corner of 79th Street and 5th Avenue, is one of the most magnificent and regal turn-of-the-century mansions in New York City today. This French Renaissance style structure houses the jewel of the Ukrainian community: the Ukrainian Institute of America. The history of the acquisition of the mansion by Mr. William Dzus, the founder of the Ukrainian Institute of America, dates back to 1898 when Isaac Fletcher, a banker and railroad investor, commissioned the famous architect C.P.H. Gilbert to build a house using William K. Vanderbilt's neo-Loire Valley chateau as its model, on the property which was originally the Lenox farm.
This was my first time inside the Landmark Center in St. Paul. This is a beautiful building, full of amazing Minnesota history.

DEWAN TUNKU CANSELOR (DTC)
Built in 1965, Dewan Tunku Canselor (DTC) is a landmark for University Malaya. It is here that the convocation ceremonies for
graduation have been held annually since August 1966 and to the hosting of numerous functions of the university including semester
examinations, special studio class, theatres performances, seminars and conferences. DTC was designed with a strong influence of
Brutalism Architecture and Modernism Movement. The two and half storey building was constructed mainly with off-form concrete
structure using egg-crate reinforced concrete ceiling and ‘beton brut’ images. On June 29th, 2001, a pre-dawn fire gutted the
building and almost ninety percent of the building was destroyed. The Faculty of Built Environment, University Malaya
participated in the effort of reconstructing the building to its original condition.
Note: CAMPUS BRUTALISM
In the late 1960s, many campuses in North America were undergoing expansions and, as a result, there are a significant number of Brutalist buildings at American and Canadian universities, beginning with Paul Rudolph's 1958 Yale Art and Architecture Building. Rudolph's design for the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is an example of an entire campus designed from scratch in the Brutalist style.

Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom).
The church was dedicated to LOGOS, the second person of the Holy Trinity, which as you can imagine took place on the 25 December. Later it was converted to a mosque. Now it serves as a museum (Wiki)

Today was another awesome day. First off we went in to the Colloseum, using our Roma Pass to skip the lines (It was even faster than the guided tour groups line!), then we met back up with Karrie-Ann, Sophie and Jo and wandered over to Castel St Angelo, before eventually meandering home.
Once it was almost dark, Mark and I then headed back to the Colloseum to shoot it all lit up at night.
This is SOOC.
(and yes, I know I have a self-portrait theme for my 366 this month, but this one HAD to be shared!)
Churches That Touch Your Soul.
#Scanning #35mmfilm has had me reliving my travels in 1995. #Trabzon is a city on the Black Sea of northeastern Turkey and is part of the #silkroad. Hagia Sophia was built in circa 1250s. It is characterised by a high central #dome and four large column arches.
