These are upright containers, and I stood in one laying down that was also empty to take this picture....see?
Tata House, one of the premier houses of the Doon school was founded in 1937-38 and named after the most illustrious Industrialist of 20th Century in India Mr.J.R.D. Tata. Famous in school as the house of Warriors, it is located adjacent to the school library. It is presently one of the oldest and the most beautifully constructed buildings in the school campus.
It has a unique structure consisting of a quadrangle having a water fountain statue situated in the centre. There are two Housemasters, and one Dame {matron}.

resto sempre affascinato dalle vecchie finestre e imposte in legno...immagino sempre le migliaia di volte che sono state aperte.....e a quanta Vita sia stata "guardata" attravero loro "guardata".
Заложен каменный двухэтажный храм был в 1777 году. Богослужения в храме продолжались до января 1930 года, затем в здании храма разместились курсы "Сибжелдорстроя". В 1947 - 1994 годах здание храма занимал Томский завод резиновой обуви. В 1995 году Богоявленская церковь была передана Русской Православной Церкви в бессрочное безвозмездное пользование. Сейчас это храм является кафедральным собором. При собооре расположена Томская духовная семинария.
Laid a two-storey church was in 1777. Worship in the temple continued until January 1930, then housed in the building of the temple courses "Sibzheldorstroya." In 1947 - 1994 years of church building occupied Tomsk plant rubber footwear. In 1995, the Church of the Epiphany was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church in unlimited free use. Now it is the temple of the cathedral. When soboore located Tomsk seminary.
This is the best picture I could get that day - Not the best but after playing with the excessive exposure this it!
Behold the flatiron!
The Church of the Annunciation of the Holy Virgin is the Orthodox cathedral of Kharkov city. First church with this name, with wooden belfry was built in 1655. In 1789 the erecting of new stone church began. It has been built in early classicism style. As flock multiplied with a growth of city in 1888 it was considered to erect a new much greater church aside of active one. It was intended to serve as main church of Kharkov city, i.e. as cathedral. Cathedral's project has been designed by architect of Kharkov Technology Institute prof Michail I. Lovtsoff. It was styled in quazi-Bizantyne style which was actually in a great vogue in Russia. The huge 300-feet belfry has been designed in quazi-Gothic style. The total price of building exceeded 400000 golden roubles. 7 mlns of bricks have been expended. The church was consecrated in 1901. Now it is the centre of Kharkov Diocese.
Modern architects tells that this kind of style is "eclecticizm". I know that "eclecticizm" is a sort of obscenity in architecture, it meens something ugly and awful. But I'm definitely not a specialist ina branch of arcitecture. And for my non-educated point of view this cathedral is looking nice and slim, even despite it's monstruos dimensions
St Mary, Over, Cambridgeshire
I was on a bike ride on a beautiful winter day, and had arranged my route to visit Swavesey, where my Mortlock ancestors come from. My great-grandmother's brother John had run the family bricklaying business in the second half of the 19th Century, and I wondered as I cycled through how many of the houses were his work. A few fields and the Cambridge Guided Busway separate Swavesey from Over. The four contiguous villages of Swavesey, Over, Willingham and Longstanton all have quite different characters, despite all having a population of barely 5,000 people each. Swavesey is a fairly workaday place stretched along a straight road which suddenly opens out into a lovely former market place. Over has more of a feel of nearby former Huntingdonshire, a convoluted village with plenty of old stone buildings including a rather grand 19th century 'Town Hall'. Oh, and one of Cambridgeshire's biggest churches.
A big stone spire tops a big stone church of the first half of the 14th Century. 'A remarkably ornate church' says Pevsner, and he's right. Every surface has been decorated with trails of ball-flower vine and little heads, and big unusual gargoyles look out, including a fat owl and a woman emptying a jug over whoever is standing below - I'd love to think that this is a play on the parish name. Above the west door is an extraordinary survival, a relief of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin which must date later. The only crimp is that this vast church is shoe-horned into a tiny graveyard, and it is almost impossible to get a distant view of it. The church is open every day, and the interior is similarly richly decorated with carvings, all the capitals being surrounded by little heads, each one different. The church is wide and full of light. There is a rood screen, and some good misericord seats including one of a green man. The church was in the patronage of Ramsey Abbey, and the stone would have been shipped across the fens - easier than dragging the fields and riverbeds for building stone, and producing a fabulous church.
Over merges into Willingham. They are about the same size, but quite different in character. There is a crossroads in Willingham with traffic lights, of which I am sure they are very proud, and, I kid you not, a one way system. But all this urban inanity is a helpful foil to the delights of another fine church.

PBS is excited to be apart of the La Posada retirement community in Arizona. This community is on the cutting-edge of residential construction through its use of green building practices. The most eco-friendly and eco-conscious designs and technology are at the forefront of this new neighborhood and PBS Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) will be the green building product used to frame these homes. La Posada announces Park Centre Homes, a state-of-the-art addition to the campus that will be specifically constructed to offer the healthiest, greenest lifestyles in Arizona.
With Park Centre Homes' focus on "green" building, La Posada is pleased to be working in conjunction with Pepper Viner Homes of Tucson, Arizona on this project. Pepper Viner is a leader in environmentally-friendly residential construction
The Park Centre Homes were deliberately designed with the flexibility to position the homes on each individual lot to maximize each home's architectural features. This allows for the shading of major living spaces and patios as well as greater access to the home from the street. To combat the warm Arizona afternoon sun, Park Centre Homes have two patios, both accessible from the great room. This orientation ensures at least one patio is always shaded from the sun.
Some home plans, based on their orientation and site location, offer window features that allow more natural light, but all floor plans utilize solar tubes that collect and diffuse natural light into halls and closet areas. Landscaping and the strategic use of trees will be an integral part of each Park Centre home. Trees will be planted in specific locations and in sufficient numbers to provide a natural heat barrier to the home.
Park Centre Homes is introducing Southern Arizona to new construction methods for residential building, designed to accommodate future environmentally "green" features. This includes the use of greywater systems, environmentally-sensitive concrete slabs, structural insulated panels and more.
Each interior item in a Park Centre Home has been selected to meet the U.S. Green Building Councils standards. This means a Park Centre Homed will provide a clean and healthy environment in which to live.
For floor plans and additional information on this community, please visit www.parkcentrehomes.com

Presqu'ile | Place de la Comédie
A first theatre was built here by Soufflot during the 18th century. Nevertheless, the theatre soon became too small and a brand new one in a neo-classical style has been rebuilt.

1830-31.
At the beginning of the 1980s, out of age and not meeting the needs any more, the Opera had to be renewed.
Arch. Jean Nouvel
1986-93.
Outside the opera house, Nouvel only kept the outer walls. He also dug new underground levels and added a semi-cylindrical dome that is used by dancers. On the opera house front wall, 8 muses have been kept in place (Uranie, the 9th one was removed to respect the symmetry of the building).
