I think this was originally a Ranch Style Shell Service Station from the 1960s or 1970s....or as one viewer suggested a former Enco/Exxon.
Le Harpa est situé au Austurbakki 2, près de l'intersection des rues Lækjargata et Kalkofnsvegur, à Reykjavik, capitale d'Islande. Une vue à partir de la Sculpture & Shore Walk qui longe la route 41 le long du rivage de la baie Faxaflói.
L'immense complexe Harpa est d'abord une salle de concerts et un centre de congrès, hébergeant aussi restaurants, bars et disquaire, est le fleuron de la geste architecturale islandaise et le symbole de la revitalisation du front de mer de la ville. L'orchestre symphonique d'Islande et l'opéra d'Islande y sont rattachés.
Inauguré en mai 2011, l'Harpa a été conçu par la firme danoise Henning Larsen Architects et somptueusement habillé par le designer islandais Ólafur Elíasson. Etonnant, selon le jour, l'heure et l'état du ciel, sa carapace aux multiples écailles se métamorphose. À l'intérieur, le regard glisse sur les murs lisses et noirs comme de la lave, puis s'arrête sur le plafond couvert de miroirs en 3D.

Direkt an der Spree mitten in Berlin liegt das Regierungsviertel mit seinen aufwändig gestalteten Bauten. Das Reichstagsgebäude und seine Umgebung werden gern als "Berliner Regierungsviertel" bezeichnet. Das ist falsch, denn im Reichstagsgebäude ist der Bundestag, also das Parlament, untergebracht, und auch die Gebäude in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft, die nach dem Umzug von Bonn nach Berlin entstanden sind.
Built in the 1840’s, Kemp Street 2021 is an attractive row of small brightly coloured terraced houses, some currently selling for £500k plus. But walking down the street its industrial past can be seen.
Number 34 has an original sign still visible, which reveals that in a former life it was used as a warehouse or butchers for Argentinean frozen meat. 100 years ago it was the Camden Arms.
Next door at number 35 a sign for the Evening News is clearly visible. In 1869 it was in use as a corn and coal merchant.
Number 29, on the opposite side was another pub, the Blue Anchor.

Owned and operated by the Students' Union, SUB is a hub of student activity, and houses all of the SU's services and most of its businesses, including Room at the Top and the Horowitz Events Centre.
The building contains several different spaces (including a designated "quiet space" on the Lower Level) where students can study or relax for as long as they choose, an essential service that is a key part of a thriving campus environment.

Castle Hohenzollern.
The castle is huge. I was allready on top of the second level of walls when I took this picture!
The fortress was rebuild for the second time starting 1850 and represents the romantic ideal of an medival fortress without the over the top excessive decoration of Schloss Neuschwanenstein.

On the Plaque:
Built in 1858 on Markham Road in Scarborough Village, this house was inhabited for over 80 years by descendants of Wm. Cornell who came from Rhode Island in 1799.
Inherited by Matilda Cornell from her father Charles in 1887, it remained her home until 1944. It was then acquired by Wm. Lye who operated the Lye Organ and Piano Works in an adjacent shop until 1961 when the property was expropriated for a new railway bridge.
In 1962 the Scarborough Historical Society, with generous support from the West Hill-Highland Creek Lions Club and Township Council, moved the house here to Thomsom Park and furnished it in the style of a late 19th century rural dwelling.
To wander the streets of Madrid is to bathe in the endless beauty of the arcitecture there, much of it dating back hundreds of years. My photograph of this building is just one minor example of the above. I was also attracted to the composition, however, by the evidence it provides of modernity's never-ending and opportunistic encroachment into urban environments. 'Twas ever thus, I suppose.
