Cet endroit a été reconnu par tous les explorateurs urbain comme étant l’un des plus beaux lieux abandonnés au monde. Il faut le reconnaître le site est grandiose on se croirait d’ailleurs dans une immense nef avec une ouverture sur le ciel.
Cette tour en béton armée fût bâtie en 1921 et le site industriel fût définitivement fermé en 2007. Pendant près de 90 ans la tour de .... a refroidi la centrale à charbon . Cette centrale thermique au charbon était responsable d’environ 10% des émissions de CO² du pays. C’est donc pour cela que la décision a été prise de fermer la production. Quant on pense qu’au même moment l’Allemagne a décidé de fermer ses centrales nucléaires pour ouvrir des centrales à charbon… Cela fait froid dans le dos.
The ceiling frescoes in the Freising cathedral.
The cathedral of Freising was built in Romanesque style from 1159 to 1205. First change to the interior was the replacement of the flat Romanesque wooden ceiling by a Gothic vault ceiling during 1481 to 1483. In a further change during the Baroque period the Gothic vault ribs were removed, the final change was the Rococo decoration created around 1724 by the brothers Cosmas Damian Asam and Egid Quirin Asam.

Have I told you lately that I love you_Van Morrison
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
For the morning sun in all it's glory
Meets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Songwriters: Van Morrison

Well, maybe I will edit another tonight out of boredom, hehehe.
The logs that supported the floor boards in the room above this passageway fascinated me. The structures on either side of the passageway constituted one home.
The panels of the honeycomb glass ceiling Reykjavik's Harpa Concert Hall offer multitude of abstracts.

At Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot), which is a royal castle built in a northern Renaissance style, for the Danish king Christian IV. The main building of the castle was built 1602-1620 (replacing an older structure). For a long time it served as a royal residence, but it was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859 (which spared only the chapel and audience chamber). The castle was restored, using old plans and drawings to give it its proper look - with generous donations made by J.C. Jabosen (who made a fortune founding the Carlsberg brewery), to turn it into a National Museum, which it still is to this day.
So yes, this is a 19th century vision of how a Renaissance ceiling should look like.

Wnętrze katedry w Monreale podzielone jest na na trzy nawy rzędami kolumn. Nawa środkowa jest dwa razy szersza od bocznych.
Podłoga i wewnętrzne mury katedry w dolnych partiach wykończone są platerowanym marmurem na wzór islamskich meczetów. Górne partie ścian pokrywają bizantyjskie mozaiki, wykonane przez artystów miejscowych i przybyłych z Konstantynopola w latach 1179 - 1182.
W apsydzie wewnętrznej na całej powierzchni ukazana została dominująca wnętrze katedry postać Chrystusa jako Pantokratora.
"...Beyond the door
There's peace, I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven!"
