The Loggia del Papa is a 15th-century Renaissance open-air arcade in the Piazza of the same name in Siena, Tuscany, on Via del Porrione. The Loggia was erected by Pope Pius II in honor of his family. Construction was commenced in 1462 and completed within a year. It was a busy period for Pius, as he had also just finished a massive reconstruction of his nearby home village and renamed it Pienza, after his good self. Next to the Loggia (on the right) is the baroque Catholic church of San Marino. It pre-dates the Loggia by several hundred years (!!), however the impressive facade was (only recently) added in 1613, with the bell tower being completed in 1738.
As you can see from my photograph, I was alone on the street. It was not long after sunrise in Autumn, so even in shadows I was getting really crisp reflected light.

Brinkburn Priory architecture. Apart from the church not much remains of the monastery that once occupied this site, some of it was incorporated into the 19th Century manor house that now stands next to it, the interior of which has also been gutted. England

If there was one building that could encapsulate the Parisian feel of Potts Point it would be the Macleay Regis at 12 Macleay Street.
The iconic Art Deco unit block is central to Macleay Street and is distinguished as one of Australia’s finest heritage buildings. Its grand foyer and elaborate features have been home to the upper echelons of Sydney society, many of whom have lived in the ‘Regis for decades.
The Macleay Regis oozes old-world glamour from every one of its ten floors. Read on to find out about the origins of this charming architectural gem.
I enjoyed my wander round Fochabers and what is more the car park is free at the square. These are some of the houses at the square and they are well kept and attended too.
One of my favorite old Baltimore Homes. The Sellers Mansion in Lafayette Square was built in 1868 by Matthew Bacon Sellers a millionaire trustee of the Old Northern Central Railroad. In its long history it has played many roles since Mr Sellers owned the house including being a church. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places sadly the once grand home has been abandoned for more than 20 years awaiting hopefully a second chance.
