The Avant is a multi-use tower occupying an entire city block between Elmwood Ave and Delaware Ave in Buffalo, New York. It houses class A office space, and the Embassy Suites hotel, and luxury residential condominiums on the top three floors. When it was completed in 2009, the building housed the most expensive group of condominiums ever built in the Buffalo metropolitan area. The building's remodeling is the largest recycling project in Western New York history.
Originally called the Thaddeus J. Dulski Federal Building, it was sold in April 2007 for $6.1 million and began renovated for $83 million. It is the 22nd tallest building in Buffalo.
Architect: Stieglitz Snyder Architecture
Under the shady roof
Of branching Elm Star-proof,
Follow me,
I will bring you where she sits
Clad in splendor as befits
Her deity.
Such a rural Queen
All Arcadia hath not seen.

Pulpit Hill in Oban normally has fabulous near 360 degree views. However in the snow clad clouds of a cold February day there was little of the scenery to be seen.
This little chap however made the climb worthwhile.
Corvids are one of my favourite species always full of character and mischief and none more so than this little beauty the hoodie.
Closely related to England's Carrion Crow they are to me a lot cheekier and more flamboyant than their close cousins.
Whilst not everyone's cup of tea I am a self confessed fan going far enough to having a real passion for them.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
Detail from a large drum-shaped building on the waterfront in Akureyri on the north coast of Iceland. The geometric basalt columns that are a common feature of Icelandic geology have been sliced and affixed to the exterior, with attention to spacing so that whole columns frame all openings. The effect is quite striking - one could easily picture a whole town built this way - but the earthquake-conscious Californian in me worries a lot about how the stone is attached.

Siège de la Banque Postale construit par le cabinet d'architecture Chaix et Morel et Associés.
Le bâtiment forme un volume sobre et monolithique. Les façades sont entièrement revêtues de verre sérigraphié y compris dans les parties inclinées au sommet qui simulent une toiture haute.
Head office of the Banque Postale built by the architectural firm Chaix et Morel et Associés.
The building forms a sober and monolithic volume. The façades are entirely clad in screen-printed glass, including the sloping parts at the top which simulate a high roof.
I have a strong artistic bias toward doing things I haven't done before, and a stronger ones to trying things I've never even seen before.
I'd love to see someone guess the lighting on this one. UPDATE: Solution is here

The Nature is the most beautiful dress.
I needed to lie down prone on the snow for shooting this shot. Of course I did ! The snow was over 15cm deep and so soft. I remembered my childhood and got excited. It was so fun !!
One reason why the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is one of the most photographed buildings in the world is undoubtedly the facade, which is made from exactly 42,875 titanium panels. This is a re-edited version from a trip in 2019 with some more drama.

The vast majority of people we saw in Japan wore modern "western" clothing, but we saw women in kimono walking down the street or on the train more often than I expected. Typically they were carrying cell phones, shopping bags and umbrellas and just generally going about normal daily life.

“The abstract building cladded in six different types of glass stands like a bowl at the core of medical university Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. The auditorium seats 1000 persons. As Karolinska Institutet selects the Nobel Prize laureates in medicine or physiology, there has been a demand for a large venue for their lectures. The façade of glass on a glulam structure is wrapped around the building that leans heavily over the highway, announcing the presence of research and education in the cities of Stockholm and Solna.”

The Acheron, river of woe, is the first river reached by the dead on their final journey. Countless souls are whisked across the black depths by Charon, ferryman of Hades. Each soul pays but one coin to cross yet Charon’s wealth must equal that of Midas himself.
"In ten thousand streams it gushes with tears and pains. . . the Acheron carries pains for mortals. Licymnius, Fragment 770 (from Porphyry, On the Styx) (trans. Campbell)
"A rock funereal overhangs the slothful shoals of the Acheron, where the waves are sluggish and the dull mere is numbed. This stream Charon tends, clad in foul garb an to the sight abhorrent, and ferries over the quaking shades..." Seneca, Hercules Furens 762 ff
"But sail upon the wind of lamentation, my friends, and about your head row with your hands' rapid stroke in conveyance of the dead, that stroke which always causes the sacred slack-sailed, black-clothed ship to pass over Acheron to the unseen land where Apollo does not walk, the sunless land that receives all men." Aeschylus, Seven Against Thebes 854
