Au pied du Seelbourg et du Koenigstuhl, à une altitude de 650 mètres s'élèvent une ancienne ferme et une petite chapelle. Lieu de randonnée privilégié, cet endroit idyllique attire chaque année de nombreux promeneurs prêts à découvrir les beautés et la majesté de sites et de forêts. Depuis 1930, la famille Barlier-Ertlé exploite l'auberge.
Lake Louise, Canadian Rockies, Canada.
Lake Louise has become symbolic of the quintessentially Canadian mountain scene. This alpine lake, known for its sparkling blue waters, is situated at the base of impressive glacier-clad peaks that have long been at the heart of Canadian mountaineering. At about 2.5 kilometres long and 90 metres deep, the lake offers a surreal paddling experience in the warm summer months and one of the most scenic skating rinks in the world in winter.
The hamlet of Lake Louise, located just minutes from the lake itself, has been developed over the last century to serve the needs of people visiting this astonishingly accessible and picturesque area of Banff National Park.

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.

A great number of the outdoor structures at MONA are clad in corten steel. It is a steel designed to weather and rust, and looks great. The effect is a distressed antique one and suits the (at times) steampunk vibes around the MONA campus.

Dudiptsar Lake or Dudipat Lake is a lake encircled by snow clad peaks in Lulusar-Dudipatsar National Park. The lake lies in the extreme north of the Kaghan Valley, in the Mansehra District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, in northern Pakistan. The word "dudi" means white and "sar" means lake. This name has been given to the lake because of the white color of snow at surrounding peaks. In summer the water of the lake reflects like a mirror. The word "sar" is used with the name of each lake in the area, translating as 'lake.'

One of the timber clad houses on the beach at Dungeness.
The building in the background on the far left of the photo is one the 2 non-operational nuclear power stations that are in the process of being decommissioned.
Architecte : Jacques Ferrier.
La singularité du bâtiment de Jacques Ferrier se fonde sur le lien que le nouveau siège communautaire crée avec le paysage de Rouen. Son profil contraste avec l’omniprésence des plans horizontaux qui caractérise ce site portuaire, et sa silhouette fait écho aux bâtiments industriels rénovés de la rive droite. Les obliques du volume répondent aux silhouettes des grues et des objets portuaires, aux étraves des navires qui passent. Le bâtiment révèle et se sert de la puissance du site pour intensifier la vie urbaine sur la rive gauche. En prolongement du futur parc, le bâtiment est à son tour créateur de contexte pour le futur écoquartier dont il sera la proue.
Son architecture facettée et transparente est conçue pour jouer des variations de lumière du ciel normand, des reflets de l’eau et des couleurs du climat. Le bâtiment est revêtu d’une façade d’écailles de verre colorées. Irisant et diffractant la lumière solaire, elles parent le bâtiment de touches de couleur qui se démultiplient avec les reflets du fleuve. Ce registre poétique est inspiré de l’impressionnisme et de Claude Monet. Le verre est revêtu d’une couche d’oxydes métalliques qui, de l’extérieur crée un reflet iridescent coloré, et s’efface vu de l’intérieur, n’altérant pas la vision des espaces de travail.
Architect: Jacques Ferrier.
The singularity of Jacques Ferrier’s building is based on the link that the new community headquarters creates with the landscape of Rouen. Its profile contrasts with the omnipresence of horizontal planes that characterize this port site, and its silhouette echoes the renovated industrial buildings on the right bank. The oblique lines of the volume respond to the silhouettes of cranes and port objects, and to the bows of passing ships. The building reveals and uses the power of the site to intensify urban life on the left bank. As an extension of the future park, the building is in turn a creator of context for the future eco-district of which it will be the prow.
Its faceted and transparent architecture is designed to play on the variations in light of the Normandy sky, the reflections of the water and the colors of the climate. The building is clad in a façade of colored glass scales. Iridescent and diffracting sunlight, they adorn the building with touches of color that multiply with the reflections of the river. This poetic register is inspired by impressionism and Claude Monet. The glass is coated with a layer of metallic oxides which, from the outside creates a colored iridescent reflection, and fades when seen from the inside, not altering the vision of the work spaces.

There's a strange cylindrical office building right next to the number "5" on the front of the UBS building Broadgate Circus. It's always looked a bit out of place, especially after all the redevelopment in the area, so someone has decided to clad it in golden rectangles, and to be fair it looks pretty good!
It's a tricky one to shoot - where you've got room to maneuver you'll find there are two large windows in the way that spoil the look a bit. To get a shot without them you need to go down the side of the building, but it's right next to another so you don't have a lot of room to get it in frame. I took this at 35mm, but wish I'd had something a bit wider.
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

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.
