Madrid, Spain
Santa María la Real de La Almudena is de katholieke kathedraal van Madrid, Spanje.
Ondanks dat de plannen voor een kathedraal in de Spaanse hoofdstad stammen uit de 16e eeuw, begon de bouw van de kerk pas in 1883. De kathedraal werd door Paus Johannes Paulus II gewijd op 15 juni 1993.
De kathedraal zou eerst in een gotische stijl worden gebouwd, maar om het gebouw beter te laten aansluiten bij het Koninklijk Paleis is later besloten de neoclassistische stijl te gebruiken. Het interieur is modern met zelfs pop-art invloeden.

I remember going with someone over to the Wellington Destructor near this spot to check out the building as word online was it was accessible. It wasn't, but we saw Stan who lived in the incinerator and his cats. We walked around and found this old garage under demolition. It was the first active demolition site I checked out with a freshly reassembled shit fish eye, a Zenit 16 that sheared apart at another location the week before.
This spot wasn't super interesting, but I'm still a sucker for a building with no roof 17 years later.
Kolomya is a lovely old town in southern Galicia, western part of Ukraine, formerly province of Austrian Monarchy. It is stuffed with architectural gems not all of which are in a good condition. But nevertyeless those who have eye can see and really admire the beauty and elegance on almost every corner. It is also full of contrasts. You may pass by fashionable coffee place or modern boutique and by turning few meters in any direction bump into totally abandoned backyard looking like nobody ever took any care of it for ages. The archiecture, at least interesting part of it, rages mostly between end of 18th till beginning of 20th century. Decent amount of Art Deco buildings is also quite impressive, though even untill now most people don't understand their beauty and don't honor them as much as they deserve.
Did this with my friend Julia, who's a qualified Architecture, mine is on the left, and hers on the right.

This is a courtyard of the Sintra National Palace. It was a castle at what is now Sintra in the Moorish Al-Andalus era that began with the Umayyad conquest of Hispania in the 8th century.
Located downhill from the Castelo dos Mouros, it was the residence of the Islamic Moorish Taifa of Lisbon rulers of the region. The earliest mention in a source is by Arab geographer Al-Bacr. In the 12th century the village was conquered by King Afonso Henriques, who took the 'Sintra Palace' castle for his use.
The palace had pair of extraordinary kitchens, each with a wall of ovens and cooking stoves above which, in place of a ceiling, rise an enormous pair of conical chimneys that taper as they reach skyward.
Sirius, is a housing commission building with million dollar views of Sydney Harbour from Millers Point. This apartment building of brutalist architecture opened in 1979, designed by Theo Gofers. Residents were forced out in 2015, with the site likely to be redeveloped into yuppie apartments.
The Sydney Opera House can be seen photobombing in the background. Photographed from the walkway on the Bradfield Highway.

The agricultural sector is one of the main land users in Europe and thus shapes landscapes in rural areas. It has various direct and indirect impacts on the environment and is itself dependent on natural resources.
From Winslow Arizona, we headed East to explore Petrified Forest National Park. We decided to go anyway, even after a local woman from Sedona had a less-than-stellar opinion of the place. We were all delighted with what the Park had to offer, and reveled in the light as we reached the end of the self-guided tour.

I love seeing blimps - there's something both peaceful and threatening as they float overhead.
This one drifted above the city of Boston during a Red Sox game. I saw it from Christian Science Plaza, an amazing complex of imposing buildings.
Le passage Pommeraye est une galerie marchande de Nantes, en France.
Construit à partir de fin 1840, il est mis en service le 3 juillet 1843, et classé monument historique depuis le 26 décembre 1976. Tirant sa particularité d'être construit sur un terrain présentant une forte déclivité, il s'étend sur trois niveaux distribués par un escalier central, et est un des attraits touristiques de la ville. Si sa construction a entraîné la ruine de son promoteur, Louis Pommeraye, le passage, considéré comme une réussite architecturale, est resté un lieu de commerce florissant. Il a bénéficié d'une rénovation achevée en 2015.
Le 7 mai 2015, le nom
« Passage Pommeraye » devient une marque commerciale déposée auprès de l'Institut national de la propriété industrielle (INPI).

HFF Everybody!
Can you tell I have doofused OUT today? I don't EVEN know what day it is! Sorry! Happy THURSDAY, Folks! It was Art Day! DOH!
Certainly not the most beautiful of Cathedrals, nor the easiest to take photographs of or within. The drama comes from the location here in St David's. Being so distant and remote from more refined civilization the Cathedral here has developed a brooding mass-full quality rather than an ornate and uplifting feel. This was a new angle on the place for me on my return visit. Difficult contrasts to balance here and black and white was the best solution to dealing with them.

This was one of my favorite locations, the Simcoe location of the American Can Company. The Art Deco details, the odd little town, and the water tower.... all amazing and special for the area. I visited it twice before it was torn down in 2011. It opened in 1929 and closed in 1991 only 3 years after being bought by Ball Packaging. The view from the top floor was the best on a nice day.
