La Grey Street, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, comté de Tyne and Wear, Angleterre. Une vue à partir de l’intersection avec Market Street.

 

Il s’agit de l'une des plus belles avenues d'Angleterre. Elle constitue le cœur du centre-ville néoclassique de Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Récemment restauré, il fait l'orgueil de la ville et sert de référence aux historiens de l'architecture pour définir le style Tyneside Classical.

 

Au bout de la rue s’élève le Grey Monument qui honore Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, politicien partisan de la paix et de la justice qui fit adopter le Great Reform Act of 1832. La colonne est l'œuvre du même créateur que pour la colonne de Nelson à Trafalgar Square.

 

Newcastle-upon-Tyne est une ville universitaire située au bord du fleuve Tyne, dans le nord-est de l'Angleterre. Avec sa ville jumelle, Gateshead, elle a été une importante plaque tournante de la construction navale et de la production industrielle pendant la révolution industrielle. Elle constitue désormais un centre d'affaires, d'arts et de sciences.

Aizanoi, just outside the small town of Çavdarhisar, near Kütahya, Turkey.

The ancient city of Aizanoi was the site of the world's first stock exchange! The city was at its peak in 2nd/3rd century AD.

 

I am glad I caught a few tourists walking around so it gives an idea of scale!

The Anglican Cathedral of St. Paul was built by the widow of King William IV between 1839 and 1844. The cathedral stands on the site where the Auberge d’Allemegne once stood.

Dedicated to St. Paul it has a massive steeple rising 65 metres high; a prominent spot in Valletta’s skyline.

Built in the neo-classical style, the Cathedral’s facade and exterior are simple with Ionic pillars and sophisticated Corinthian columns in the aisles

 

The Basilica of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a Roman Catholic church in the Maltese capital Valletta on the island of Malta. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, which includes the entire city of Valletta, and is one of the most famous churches and main tourist attractions of Valletta.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is a Corinthan capital - though I found it in Alicante, Spain.

Magnificent Monday to you.

The Long Corridor is a covered walkway in the Summer Palace in Beijing, China. The total length of the Long Corridor is 728 metres and it is decorated with more than 14,000 paintings, especially on the ceiling and its beams, which divide it into 273 sections. Along the corridor there are four octagonal pavilions. Each of these pavilions symbolises the four climatic seasons of the year. The more than 14,000 paintings have a wide variety of subjects: historical figures, famous buildings, landscapes, flowers, birds, fish, insects... Of particular importance are those depicting folk and traditional tales, fables and episodes from classical Chinese literature. As a part of the Summer Palace, the Long Corridor was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in December, 1998.

There is no doubt that the Long Corridor is a beautiful place during the day. But it is at night, with the arrival of darkness and the lighting of the chinese lanterns, that it reaches its true splendour, creating a special atmosphere and transforming into a long, luminous and sinuous thread in the midst of the darkness. It is at night when it becomes a magical place, where stories, tales, fables, imagination... come to life and arise. Dreams and tales, in the middle of the night and darkness.

En el silencio sin aliento de las 4 a.m., en la oscuridad se encuentra un triste cliché envuelto en el azul marino de las estrellas que se desvanecen lentamente. Dime cómo llegó ésto a ser.

Háblame... insomnio.

 

.....

Duérmete y cállate, cariño. Es hora de dormir, hora de apagar la luz. Dulces sueños te esperan tras tus ojos cerrados y una manta de noche, donde las chinches no pican. Duérmete y calla hasta la mañana. Has dicho todas tus oraciones, és hora de hacerlas realidad. No te preocupes, tu papi está aquí, si lo necesitas esta noche. Tranquiliza tu mente. Descansa tus ojos y duerme bien.

Goodnight.

Monschau is located in the hills of the North Eifel, within the Hohes Venn – Eifel Nature Park in the narrow valley of the Rur river. The historic town center has many preserved half-timbered houses and narrow streets have remained nearly unchanged for 300 years, making the town a popular tourist attraction nowadays. An open-air, classical music festival is staged annually at Burg Monschau. Historically, the main industry of the town was cloth-mills

The Fitzwilliam Museum on Trumpington Street, Cambridge, opened its doors to the public in 1848. The architecture of this building itself is a kind of appropriation of Greek and Roman antiquity - almost as if the British Empire was its legitimate successor civilisation. The museum is holding collections of exquisite quality, and the exhibits from Ancient Greece and Cyprus, Rome and Egypt are indeed superb. I must admit that classical antiquity, in the midst of which Christianity originated, is still the yardstick against which I measure our own attempts at being civilised. Fuji X-E2.
