(Dutch: Provinciaal Hof) The Provincial Court is a neo-Gothic building on the Markt (main square) in Bruges. It is the former meeting place for the Provincial Government of West Flanders.
The old building for the provincial government meetings, burned down in 1878. A replacement was started in 1887 by the architects Louis Delacenserie and René Buyck. A post office was opened in 1891, and the first part of the Provinciaal Hof in 1892.

Bruges is an outstanding example of a medieval historic settlement, which has maintained its historic fabric as this has evolved over the centuries, and where original Gothic constructions form part of the town's identity. The different phases of its development include the central Market Place with its belfry, the Béguinage, as well as the hospitals, the religious and commercial complexes. As one of the commercial and cultural capitals of Europe, Bruges developed cultural links to different parts of the world.

Wikipedia: The Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge", Italian pronunciation: [ˈponte ˈvɛkkjo] is a Medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewellers, art dealers and souvenir sellers. The Ponte Vecchio's two neighbouring bridges are the Ponte Santa Trinita and the Ponte alle Grazie.
The bridge spans the Arno at its narrowest point where it is believed that a bridge was first built in Roman times, when the via Cassia crossed the river at this point. The Roman piers were of stone, the superstructure of wood. The bridge first appears in a document of 996. After being destroyed by a flood in 1117 it was reconstructed in stone but swept away again in 1333 save two of its central piers, as noted by Giovanni Villani in his Nuova Cronica. It was rebuilt in 1345, Giorgio Vasari recorded the tradition in his day, that attributed its design to Taddeo Gaddi. Besides Giotto one of the few artistic names of the trecento still recalled two hundred years later. Modern historians present Neri di Fioravanti as a possible candidate. Sheltered in a little loggia at the central opening of the bridge is a weathered dedication stone, which once read Nel trentatrè dopo il mille-trecento, il ponte cadde, per diluvio dell' acque: poi dieci anni, come al Comun piacque, rifatto fu con questo adornamento. The Torre dei Mannelli was built at the southeast corner of the bridge to defend it.
It has always hosted shops and merchants who displayed their goods on tables before their premises, after authorization of the Bargello (a sort of a lord mayor, a magistrate and a police authority). The back shops (retrobotteghe) that may be seen from upriver, were added in the seventeenth century.
It is said that the economic concept of bankruptcy originated here: when a merchant could not pay his debts, the table on which he sold his wares (the "banco") was physically broken ("rotto") by soldiers, and this practice was called "bancorotto" (broken table; possibly it can come from "banca rotta" which means "broken bank"). Not having a table anymore, the merchant was not able to sell anything.
During World War II, the Ponte Vecchio was not destroyed by Germans during their retreat of August 4, 1944, unlike all other bridges in Florence. This was allegedly because of an express order by Hitler. Access to Ponte Vecchio was, however, obstructed by the destruction of the buildings at both ends, which have since been rebuilt using a combination of original and modern design.
The library was built in the year 1900. Architect: Hans Hedlund.
Nowadays the building is a library for the University of Gothenburg and an archive for the city.

The Doge's Palace (Italian: Palazzo Ducale) was the residence of the Doge of Venice, the supreme authority of Venice. It was built in 1340 and extended and modified in the following centuries (you can for example see how the two big windows to the right differ from the rest). It became a museum in 1923. Notice all the black gondolas in front of the palace.

Venice is a unique artistic achievement. The city is built on 118 small islands. Venice also has one of the highest concentrations of great monuments such as Piazza San Marco with the cathedral and Palazzo Ducale.
It was from Venice that Marco Polo (1254-1324) set out in search of China, Sumatra, India and Persia.
The occurrence of exceptional high waters poses nowadays a significant threat to the protection and integrity of Venice lagoon and historic settlements.

Cityscape in IR infrared. Downtown Oslo.
Nikon Z5 (full spectrum modified by PrimaLuce, Italy), Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 lens, B+W 093 IR filter. This lens does quite well in IR and a weak hot spot only develops when the lens is stopped fully down. So eminently usable despite the reduced file size as the 23mm is a DX lens and Z5 an FX model. Perhaps I should get say another Z30 and modify it for IR shooting?

Sthlm 01 in not a classical skyscraper. At a closer look you will see how extra ordinary this newcomer actually is. The emblematic geometry of the tower – a conical star that gradually extends its perimeter as it rises into the sky – minimises its footprint on this limited site. On the two different ground levels of this office building there are commercial units while a restaurant and sky bar on the top level of the high-rise offer spectacular views of the city.
The façade of the tower presents a striking chromotope that gives identity to the new district and provides a landmark for orientation.

(Swedish: Forsviks Bruk) The Worker's lodge, then 23 rooms (built in 1861). Nowadays a youth hostel. The traditional red paint contains pigment from the copper-mine in Falun, Dalecarlia.
600 years of industrial history: In 1410 Cecilia Jonsdotter Roos donated the Forsvik farm to the convent in Vadstena and when the monastery took it over there was already a flour mill on the farm.
The buildings in the factory area are listed buildings (Swedish: byggnadsminnen) and enjoy the strongest legal cultural and historical protection available.
