Historically significant building....Tour Perret (English: Perret Tower) is a 29-storey, 110 m (360 ft) residential skyscraper in Amiens, France. It has been described as France's first skyscraper, and was registered as a historic monument in 1975.
Its building was part of a large scale reconstruction project helmed by architect Auguste Perret in the Place Alphone-Fiquet neighborhood, which also involved a rebuild of the nearby railway station.The design phase started as early as 1942, following extensive damages suffered by downtown Amiens during World War II.[8] Perret intended it as an office building before authorities overruled him.
Originally measuring 104 metre,[8] Tour Perret was the highest, and the first 100-plus metre skyscraper built in France, although it was not the highest in Western Europe, as it has sometimes been written.The building actually fell slightly short of its intended height as its topmost part, a belfry adorned with a monumental clock, was never built due to delays and cost overruns.
In 2005, the tower was finally completed with a so-called Sablier de lumière (English: Hourglass of Light) designed by architect Thierry Van de Wyngaert. It is a cube made of 192 active glass pannels whose transparency can be electrically adjusted, illuminated by twelve circular neon lamps which project different colors depending on the time of day. In 2017, the lighting system was redesigned and simplified for cost and practicality The cube's addition brought the height of the building up to 110 metre.
In het centrum van Reykjavik staat één van de bekendste toeristische trekpleisters van de stad, de Hallgrimskirkja kerk (de kerk van Hallgrimur). Deze opvallende kerk is de grootste kerk van Reykjavik en tevens het hoogste gebouw van heel IJsland. Doordat de kerk op een heuvel staat torent het kerkgebouw hoog boven Reykjavik uit.
De bijzondere kerk, die vernoemd is naar de bekendste dichter van IJsland, Hallgrimur Petursson (1614-1674), is zeker een bezoekje waard. Niet alleen vanwege de prachtige architectuur, maar ook vanwege de 74,5 meter hoge toren die je tegen betaling kunt bezoeken. Bovenop de Hallgrimskirkja heb je een schitterend uitzicht over heel Reykjavik en kun je goed zien hoe kleurrijk de hoofdstad van IJsland is. Ook kun je de haven, kust en de bergen in e verte zien liggen. Als het heel helder weer is, en je goed kijkt kun je zelfs Groenland en Amerika in de verte zien liggen.
Door de hoogte en het opvallende uiterlijk van de kerk is de Hallgrimskirkja één van Reykjaviks bekendste symbolen geworden en trekt de kerk jaarlijks tienduizenden bezoekers.
Well preserved delightful historic city core of Ptuj.

An original piece from the series “Blast”, oil on thick paper, 44 x 44 cm, 2020. Original sold.
Some concentric circles are superimposed over a very simple geometric pattern that resembles a city map, recalling the idea of an explosion. From the intersection of the two overlapped geometries, decorative forms are born, and somehow they dampen that suggestion of violence and destruction. The explosion thus is crystallized, becoming one with the surrounding elements and sharing their fragility.
An original piece from the series “Code”, oil on paper, 35 x 35 cm. Original sold.
The European travelers who made the grand tour in Italy in the nineteenth century, brought back home, in their drawings and memories, a romantic, bucolic, partly false image of the country. They started the journey with a predefined idea and expected to find that, so they were able to see ancient ruins in idyllic landscapes, ignoring the poverty and misery surrounding them.
In the same way the map of a city can become a plot of memories or even the falsification of memories. There will be in that map some gaps, or forgotten parts, and parts that we remember as we would like them to have been and not for how they really were.
The map can become a personal and intimate diary, where we record our experiences. That map can even become the abstract representation of the ideal life we would have liked to live, a melancholic outline of our regrets and broken dreams.
I love the CI from Groningen and the way the people, shops etc fill it with life.

London is the largest urban area and the capital of England and the United Kingdom. An important settlement for two millennia, London's history goes back to its founding by the Romans. Since its settlement, London has been part of many important movements and phenomena throughout history, such as the English Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and the Gothic Revival. The city's core, the ancient City of London, still retains its limited medieval boundaries; but since at least the 19th century the name "London" has also referred to the whole metropolis which has developed around it. Today the bulk of this conurbation forms the London region of England and the Greater London administrative area, with its own elected mayor and assembly.
London is one of the world's leading business, financial, and cultural centres, and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion and the arts all contribute to its status as a major global city. London boasts four World Heritage Sites: The Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey and St. Margaret's Church; the Tower of London; the historic settlement of Greenwich; and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The city is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and its popularity has increased over the years due to economic growth.
London's diverse population draws from a wide range of peoples, cultures, and religions, and over 300 languages are spoken within the city. As of 2006, it has an official population of 7,512,400 within the boundaries of Greater London and is the most populous municipality in the European Union. As of 2001, the Greater London Urban Area has a population of 8,278,251 and the metropolitan area is estimated to have a total population of between 12 and 14 million.
The 2012 Summer Olympic Games will be held in London from 27 July to 12 August 2012, followed by the 2012 Paralympic Games from 29 August to 9 September. I hope this aerial photos of London will help you during your stay in this beautiful metropolis!
