On the way to southern France, we made a short stop in Lyon.
On the left side you see four towers. These are located on the grounds of the public swimming baths "Center nautique Tony Bertrand". Designed by the french architect Alexandre Audouze-Tabourin and realized on the occasion of Lyon's bid for the 1968 Summer Olympics.
P.S. It's a long exposure with a neutral density filter.
The stunning design and subsequent construction of the Basilica Gospe od Otoka (Solin, Croatia) can be attributed to Vyonyx Architecture, an architectural design and research office based in the UK, Croatia, and France.
De kleine autorails van de Nationale Maatschappij van Buurtspoorwegen vertoonden zich vroeger ook in stedelijke omgeving. Vanuit de stad werden de minder drukke lijnen op het platte land bediend.
Tijdens het jubileumfeest 150 jaar tram in Gent was ook autorail 86 van de ASVI in de stad te zien. Door het geronk, het gerook en het gebruik van de tweetonige hoorn trekt de motorwagen de aandacht van de wandelaars in het op zondagochtend rustige centrum van de stad.
Het neoclassicistische voormalige paleis van justitie is gebouwd naar een ontwerp van de stadsarchitect Lodewijk Roelandt (1786-1864). Het gebouw is in de periode 1836-1846 gerealiseerd.
And so, this is the last photo of this most amazing place. All the other photos are now on my blog, lots of really nice landscape and self-portraits for you to see! ;-)
The Köbogen in Düsseldorf. (1)
This area has become very popular in Summer-- there are shops --and --'Apple' on the other side of the buildings--and some really good restaurants and street cafés. My shot is from the Hofgarten--a beautiful city park.
And so, this is what I found after I got on the dirt road, as I mentioned before.

Recently, Alexia Sinclair wrote something about Patrons, and I'll maker her words mine:
"Patrons
Although I am ever grateful for the heart felt and generous complements that weave their way into my life and my inbox daily, one can’t survive on words alone. Please know that the psychological support is most certainly fuel for my fire.
However, financially, artists survive on the generosity of patrons. Patrons are people (often ordinary people) who believe in my work to such a degree that they are prepared to purchase my art to collect and love for life or choose to commission personal works of their own.
Readers, it’s time to purchase some art and hang it on your wall and admire it every time you pass it by. Why? Our world would be a very bland place without art. We are in desperate need of a renaissance."
p.s. the link to my prints is on my profile, if anyone feels interested.
The Cathedral church of the Diocese. As originally built by A.W.N. Pugin in 1841-48 this was the largest Catholic church in England, and the obvious choice of a Cathedral for the new Diocese of Southwark, created in 1850. The Cathedral contains a number of important furnishings by Pugin and his son Edward. The building was badly damaged by wartime bombing and rebuilt in a different form by Romilly Craze. The new design impresses in its overall massing, although the non- completion of the tower detracts from the building’s impact in the townscape and the detailing is rather dry and lacking in vigour. The same cannot be said of the Harry Clarke stained glass, the most successful of the post-war additions to the Cathedral. The building occupies a prominent corner site opposite the Imperial War Museum. Frederick Walters’s ancillary buildings lie to the rear and are in medieval domestic style, possibly influenced by nearby Lambeth Palace.
The brand-new ultra-luxury hotel is situated on the world-famous Palm in Dubai. The architects describe the striking look as "a series of discrete human-scaled blocks arranged for optimal views, stacked to span over dramatic voids." The Royal Atlantis is divided into two towers, with one devoted to a resort and the other to residences. They are connected by a bridge filled with pools, lounges, and cabanas – Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Elements of old and new textile factories reflected in a modern glass facade at the Textile Museum.

The Paramount opened in 1930. It was slated for demolition in 1984. A group of concerned citizens organized a successful effort to procure the deed one month before the demolition was to begin. The theater has been painstakingly restored and now hosts classic films, stage plays, concerts and orchestral performances. Info from Cinema Treasures.
“Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.”

This image depicts the architectural features of Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum. The Rijksmuseum, which in English means – The State Museum, is one of the most breathtaking museums in the world.
In 1800, the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum opened first its collection to the public as the Nationale Kunstgallerij (National Art Gallery). It moved several times before being established in Amsterdam (1808) by the decree of the King of the Netherlands Louis Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon.
In 1885 Rijksmuseum moved to this beautiful building, designed by the Dutch architect Petrus J.H. Cuypers, and built in the then fashionable Dutch neo-Renaissance style, using historical neo-Gothic elements in it form and decoration.
The unique position Rijksmuseumin Amsterdam gained in the world throughout the centuries, comes not only from the possession of many masterpiece paintings of Dutch and world art. Along the masterworks like Rembrandt’s “Night watch”, several paintings by Vermeer, van Dyck and Jan Steen, the museum has truly exceptional collection of the antique objects of the material Dutch culture, vast collection of prints, drawings and the classic photography.
And now, all the photos from the workshop are on my blog, in case you want to see more photos and read a little bit of what went on :)

It was a happy coincidence, but the day we decided to photograph the church, it was also a beautiful full moon in the sky.
It wasn't the super moon, unfortunately, but lovely nonetheless.
I think I'll make yet a series of churches and the full moon.
My first would had been this one.

Hello everyone! I've been a bit busy lately, editing some beauty shots from this photoshoot. There is a lot that is more commercial and intitutional and that I might share on my blog, but a few were more editorial like this one, full of drama and beauty.
The two bottom parts were added later on photoshop, using the flowing dress of two other photos. I'm not much into doing that but in this case it was essencial for the impact of the photo.
The crew directly involved in the making of these photos were great, and I'm in love with the location, a budhist temple :)

On another note, it seems one of my self-portraits inspired Laura Sardinha to create this super awesome illustration: Followed by Demons, take a look and give her some well deserved congratulations! ;-)
Built in the 15th century, this castle served as residence of Mazovian princes. Once the capital was moved to Warsaw from Krakow, the castle served as seat of the king and the government. The castle has been renovated repeatedly and destroyed completely during World War II. It was rebuilt between 1971-1988 using castle remains and rubble. Today, the segment with the clock tower opens the way to the Old Town. Museum attractions include two original Rembrandt paintings as well as works by Bernardo Bellotto, aka Canaletto, court painter to Polish King Stanisław August Poniatowski. Canaletto’s paintings were vital during Warsaw’s post-war reconstruction.
