The Indiana State House houses the seats of Government for the State of Indiana. This historical building, completed in 1888, is home to all executive offices, the Indiana State Senate, the Indiana House of Representatives, and the Indiana State Supreme Court, among others. The four-floors of the State House also contain both the House and Senate Chambers
Made of Indiana limestone and designed in classical Renaissance Revival style, the architecture of the Indiana Statehouse was influenced by the national Capitol. As architecturally beautiful as it is functional, the interior is marked by a stained glass dome, marble floors and steps, granite columns, an ornate balcony, and period wall and ceiling designs. Flowering trees and shrubs as well as historic markers and monuments dot the Statehouse grounds.
The Rotunda's soaring architecture, stained glass dome, and ornate columns and statues also make it a popular location for weddings, and is generally booked over a year in advance. The facility is featured at bridal shows, in local magazines, and at photography studios. The Rotunda will comfortably accommodate 170 guests.
This shot was taken through a thick plate glass window and there is some reflection in the photo. I was seated in a revolving roof top restaurant and this view did not come around very often.

The University of San Diego is a Roman Catholic university located approximately two miles north of downtown San Diego, on the north crest of Mission Valley in the community of Linda Vista.
Alcalá Park sits atop the edge of a mesa overlooking Mission Bay and other parts of San Diego, California. The philosophy of USD's founderess and her fellow religious, relied heavily on the belief that studying in beautiful surroundings could improve the educational experience of students.
Thus, to complement the natural beauty of the area, the university's buildings are designed in 16th-century Spanish Renaissance architectural style, paying homage to both San Diego's Catholic heritage and the Universidad de Alcalá in Spain. Many students and faculty choose to live on campus and immerse themselves in this architectural atmosphere and setting. (Wikipedia)
Mostar was named by "the bridge keepers" (natively: mostari) who kept the bridge over river Neretva. During Turkish occupation, The Old Bridge was built and became one of the symbols of Mostar. The bridge was destroyed by Croatian Defence Council units during the Bosnian-Herzegovian War, on November 9, 1993 at 10:15 am.
A monumental project to rebuild the Old Bridge to the original design, and restore surrounding structures and historic neighbourhoods was initiated in 1999 and mostly completed by Spring 2004. In July 2005, UNESCO finally inscribed the Old Bridge and its closest vicinity onto the World Heritage List.
