Restored in the 1990s after decades of neglect, Prague’s most exuberant and sensual building is a labour of love, every detail of its design and decoration carefully considered, every painting and sculpture loaded with symbolism. The restaurant and cafe flanking the entrance are like walk-in museums of art nouveau design; upstairs are half a dozen sumptuously decorated halls that you can visit by guided tour.
The Municipal House stands on the site of the Royal Court, seat of Bohemia’s kings from 1383 to 1483 (when Vladislav II moved to Prague Castle), which was demolished at the end of the 19th century. Between 1906 and 1912 this magnificent art nouveau palace was built in its place – a lavish joint effort by around 30 leading artists of the day, creating a cultural centre that was the architectural climax of the Czech National Revival.

The photograph captures a fragment of ancient Rome through its columns. Their repetition and weathered surfaces suggest endurance built over centuries. In a city where new layers constantly rise beside the old, these structures testify to how the past endures while discoveries keep adding to its fabric.
These are the stairs for a house I'm currently designing, painted the whole place white, and well I wont explain the whole project here since i'm just showing the stairs tho I will say they are for a small house in the woods... that blue thing at the end of the stairs is the top of a mountain called Sierra Madre Oriente, In Mexico :3
Its just really out of focus here ... also you might notice some strange lighting like why is the top left corner so dark? its just cause i took the picture at a balcony so the roof is blocking the sky there tho the lighting inside the stairs isn't affected.
Hope you like it, more info about the project here < www.flickr.com/photos/38713682@N03/6159687038/in/photostream
Established on 23 March 1825 in Edinburgh, the Life Insurance Company of Scotland changed its name to the Standard Life Assurance Company in 1832 by royal assent.
The Bombay office is a wonderful example of British commercial architecture transplanted to Bombay. Highly decorative, featuring balconies, balustrades parapet and urns, it was designed by leading Bombay architects Gostling & Morris. Like the Calcutta building, it features Standard Life's logo of the biblical Ten Virgins in statue form in the main pediment; the parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13,) being deemed to be an appropriate motif for an insurance company with the message of always being prepared for future contingencies. The year '1825' (being the founding of the company) cane be deciphered through the grime.
Named after William Hornby, Governor of Bombay from 1771 to 1784, Hornby Road is at the heart of the European center of the Fort area of Bombay. This busy streets cape retains its heritage architecture, a medley of Victorian Neo-Gothic, Indo-Saracenic, Neo-classical and Edwardian structures linked together by a continuous ground floor pedestrian arcade mandated by government regulation in 1896. The pedestrian arcade provided shelter from rain and the sun and remains among the early urban design statements of colonial India.

The pointe Saint-Mathieu (Lok Mazé in Breton) is a headland located near Le Conquet in the territory of the commune of Plougonvelin in France, flanked by 20m high cliffs.
This picturesque site comprises the ruins of St-Mathieu abbey (11th-12th centuries), the light house (built in 1835) and the signal station (built in 1906).
The St Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral, Nice (French: Cathédrale Orthodoxe Saint-Nicolas de Nice, Russian: Николаевский собор, Ницца) is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral located in the French city of Nice. It is recognized as a national monument of France, and it currently belongs to the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate. It is the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Western Europe.
The cathedral was opened in 1912, thanks to the generosity of Russia's Tsar Nicholas II.
Beginning in the mid-19th century, Russian nobility visited Nice and the French Riviera, following the fashion established decades earlier by the English upper class and nobility. In 1864, immediately after the railway reached Nice, Tsar Alexander II visited by train and was attracted by the pleasant climate. Thus began an association between Russians and the French Riviera that continues to this day.
The cathedral, consecrated in December 1912 in memory of Nicholas Alexandrovich, Tsarevich of Russia, who died in Nice, was meant to serve the large Russian community that had settled in Nice by the end of the 19th century, as well as devout visitors from the Imperial Court. Tsar Nicholas II funded the construction work.
After 1917, Communist persecution of religion in Russia led some Russian Orthodox dioceses abroad to form jurisdictions not affiliated with Moscow. One of these, the Paris-based exarchate, later assumed control of the Nice cathedral.
On 20 January 2010, a French Court (the Tribunal of First Instance at Nice) ruled that the title to the Cathedral should be held by the Russian state. [Wikipédia]

In the stillness of night, two wooden benches lie side by side, casting shadows along a stone pathway, illuminated softly by a nearby lamp, creating a serene moment.

The Duckweed looks a bit brown because it is taking over much of the fresh water on the plantation that they are trying to control some of it with natural herbicides.

The Euphrasian Basilica (Croatian: Eufrazijeva bazilika, Italian: Basilica Eufrasiana) is a basilica in Poreč, Croatia. It has been listed on the UNESCO World heritage since 1997.
The episcopal complex, including, apart the basilica itself, a sacristy, a baptistery and the bell tower of the nearby archbishop's palace, is one of the best examples of early Byzantine architecture in the Mediterranean region.
The present basilica, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built in the sixth century during the period of Bishop Euphrasius. It was built from 553 on the site of the older basilica that had become dilapidated.
Following the earthquake of 1440 the southern wall of the central nave of the basilica was restored, so that in place of the windows which were destroyed, other were built in the Gothic style.
The wall mosaics were executed by Byzantian masters and the floor mosaics by local experts. The construction took about ten years. Euphrasius, holding the church in his arms, is represented on one of the mosaics on the apse, next to St. Maurus.
