La Casa de Pilatos, chiefly built between the 15th and 16th centuries, is an example of an Italian Renaissance building with Mudéjar elements and decorations. It is considered the prototype of the Andalusian palace.
The palace is decorated with azulejo tiling and ceilings of Mudéjar honeycomb.

On Wednesday night, I enjoyed a meal here with friends. We had just found out a new chemo cocktail was available for my friend and we celebrated the hopeful path. It was a good night.

Veysel Karani Camii ve Türbesi
Siirt Baykan'da bulunan cami ve türbe, tam olarak Ziyaret Beldesi’nde bulunuyor. 6. yüzyılda yaşamış olan Veysel Karani'nin türbesinin ilk olarak Selçuklular döneminde yapıldığı sanılıyor ancak zaman için türbe özgünlüğünü tamamen yitiriyor. Günümüzde mimarisinin tarihsel bir değeri olmasa bile Veysel Karani'nin manevi şahsına yönelik duyulan ilgiden ötürü türbe önemli bir ziyaretçi akınına uğruyor...

Inside the Cabinet War Rooms.
During the Second World War, a group of basement offices in Whitehall served as the centre of Britain’s war effort. The complex, known as the Cabinet War Rooms, was occupied by leading government ministers, military strategists and Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Following the devastation of the First World War, military planners feared up to 200,000 casualties from bombing in the first week of a future war.
Plans to evacuate the prime minister, cabinet and essential staff from London were drawn up as early as the 1920s, but concern that Londoners would feel abandoned if the prime minister and government were in a safe place, and issues about the speed of evacuation, led to a search for an emergency shelter in central London.
In June 1938 the New Public Offices building was selected. It was near Parliament, with a strong steel frame and a large basement.
The basement was adapted to provide meeting places for the War Cabinet during air raids and also housed a military information centre based around a ‘Map Room'. Here, vital information for King George VI, Prime Minister Churchill and the armed forces was collected.
The Cabinet War Rooms became fully operational on 27 August 1939, a week before Britain declared war on Germany.
Churchill’s War Cabinet met here 115 times, most often during the Blitz and the later German V-weapon offensive.
The Cabinet War Rooms were in use 24 hours a day until 16 August 1945, when the lights were turned off in the Map Room for the first time in six years.

A big mural on the ceiling of the old Chicago library (?). I think it was the old library. Might have been some hotel though.
The Legislative Council chamber of the Queensland Parliament. This room is no longer used for legislating, since the upper house was abolished in 1922. It's still fitted out as a parliamentary chamber, but is now used only to host functions and VIP visits.
The lighting balance was a killer for this shot. We have daylight streaming in the windows, tungsten lighting from the chandeliers, and strips of fluorescents around the edges of the ceiling (making that greenish glow).

"Our space is one of contrasts, a fusion of the old and new, the heavenly and worldly. Traditional Korean architecture contrasts with elements of modernism found in the chic lightings, tea bar and angular dark wood furniture. Commanding the ceiling, the decorative Korean dan chung mural contrasts with the simplicity of the walls. The colorful elaborate patterns on the ceiling which were traditionally used to enhance the majesty of ceilings in Korean palaces and temples symbolized the utopian world of ultimate freedom and peace. At Franchia, the dan chung represents our philosophy of freeing the mind and spirit through tea tao."
