Early morning at the Colosseum in Rome in April 2017.
After decades of exposure to car exhausts the external walls of the Colosseum turned an ugly patchy black. But in the last few years the walls have been cleaned and the car traffic was banned from the road along the amphitheatre. Finally recently the last bits of scaffolding have been removed and now we can see the famous Colosseum in its full glory.

In 1996 the Thomas church on the Prinses Irenestraat in Amsterdam-Zuid was built and it’s currently owned by the Protestant church Amsterdam.
From 1955 there were plans for a Reformed church in the New South area of Amsterdam. The original building plans changed and the church became somewhat on the edge of the residential area instead of on a main road. Nowadays it is very close to the Zuidas and it’s office buildings.
The building was designed by architect Karel Sijmons and stands out for its austere layout, which is entirely devoted to Protestant worship. Three themes are central to this: the Word, the Baptism and the Supper.
The church has a sandstone floor which is a reference to the journey of the people of Israel through the desert and the undulating roof symbolizes the sea through which God led the Israelites under the leadership of Moses. The architect was inspired by the Notre Dame du Haut chapel in Ronchamp in France by architect Le Corbusier. This chapel also has a wavy roof.

MuCEM + Fort Saint-Jean, Marseille, France - 2013 -Architects: Rudy Ricciotti and C+T architecture
Views, sea, sun, a mineral quality, which all must be orchestrated by a program that will become federal and cognitive. First of all a perfect square of 72 m per side, it is a classic plan, Latin, under the control of Pythagoras. Within this square, another of 52 m per side, comprising the exhibition and conference halls identified as the heart of the museum.
Around, above and below are the service areas. But between these areas and the heart, openings entirely bypass the central square and form interconnected spaces. More interested by the views of the fort, the sea or the port, the culturally overwhelmed visitor will choose this route. Along two interlacing ramps, he will then plunge into the imaginary of the tower of Babel or of a ziggurat in order to climb up to the rooftop and on to Fort Saint- Jean. This peripheral loop will be a free breathe, enveloped by the smells of the sea from the proximity to the moats, a pause to dispel any lingering doubts about the use of the history of our civilizations. The MuCEM will be a vertical Casbah.
The tectonic choice of an exceptional concrete coming from the latest research by French industry, reducing the dimensions to little more than skin and bones, will affirm a mineral script under the high ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean. This sole material in the colour of dust, matt, crushed by the light, distant from the brilliance and technological consumerism, will commend the dense and the delicate. The MuCEM sees itself evanescent in a landscape of stone and Orientalist through its fanning shadows.

The Saint Hilarion Castle lies on the Kyrenia mountain range, in Cyprus. This location provided the castle with command of the pass road from Kyrenia to Nicosia. It is the best preserved ruin of the three former strongholds in the Kyrenia mountains, the other two being Kantara and Buffavento.
History
The castle is not named after St. Hilarion, active in Palestine and Cyprus in the 4th century. It was named after an obscure saint, who is traditionally held to have fled to Cyprus after the Arab conquest of the Holy Land and retired to the hilltop on which the castle was built for hermitage. An English traveller reported the preservation of his relics in the 14th century.[1] It has been proposed that a monastery built in his name preceded the castle, which was built around it. However, this view is not supported by any substantial evidence.[2]
Starting in the 11th century, the Byzantines began fortification. Saint Hilarion, together with the castles of Buffavento and Kantara, formed the defense of the island against Arab raids against the coast. Some sections were further upgraded under the Lusignan dynasty, whose kings may have used it as a summer residence. During the rule of Lusignans, the castle was the focus of a four-year struggle between Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II and Regent John d' Ibelin for control of Cyprus.
Much of the castle was dismantled by the Venetians in the 15th century to reduce the cost of garrisons.
Architecture
View of the Queen's window (Queen Elanor) in the upper ward.
The castle has three divisions or wards. The lower and middle wards served economic purposes, while the upper ward housed the royal family. The lower ward had the stables and the living quarters for the men-at-arms. The Prince John tower sits on a cliff high above the lower castle.
The upper ward was surrounded by a 1.4 metre-thick Byzantine wall, made of rough masonry. The entrance is through a pointed arch built by the Lusignans. This was protected by a semicircular tower to the east. Within the ward is a courtyard, with twin peaks being situated to either side of it. To the north-east is an extremely ruined kitchen. To the west are the royal apartments, dated by various sources to the 13th or 14th centuries. Although mostly ruined today, this was a structure in the northeast-southwest axis, with a length of 25 m and width of 6 m. It has a basement containing a cistern and two floors. The ground floor has a height of 7 m and a pointed barrel vault. The upper floor is known for its carved windows, one of which is dubbed the Queen's Window.[4][1] These are placed on the western wall, which has a scenic view of the northern coast of Cyprus, especially the plains of Lapithos.

Day 5 of 8 :: NYC Family Vacation
Another amazing day. We walked a decent section of Central Park up to Tavern on the Green and had an outstanding brunch and then wandered around the Upper West Side a bit. Hit the Central Park Zoo, as well as the American Museum of Natural History. We wrapped the day up by mercifully getting to sit down and enjoy what ended up being one of the highlights of our trip, which was an evening boat tour around Manhattan. We started on the west side of Manhattan on the Hudson which took us south and up the east side of the island up the East River, out around Lady Liberty, and back. Truly amazing architecture, views, bridges and really the overall experience. As always, my little blurb doesn't do it justice, but this shot is of the Empire State Building, just before sunset, with The Vessel in the foreground and I believe W 33rd St creating the path.
