These magnificent columns stand at the entry to one of colonial architect John Lee Archer's finest buildings. Archer (1792-1852) is most famous for coming up with the basic design for the Ross Bridge (1836), which stonemason Daniel Herbert then set about turning into a masterpiece of symbolic design. You can check out my album on "The Story of the Ross Bridge". www.flickr.com/photos/183221334@N02/albums/72157716105920156

I could have titled this "Memories of Max", but that would have been presumptuous. The great Australian photographer of the 20th century Max Dupain (1911-1992), although well known for his iconic Australian landscapes and beach scenes, was a superb architectural photographer. In 1963 he published a book for the National Trust on Georgian architecture in NSW and Tasmania. It is loaded with magnificent monochromes. Here's a link (not to promote the selling site), but to give you an opportunity to scan some of its pages that are displayed here. It's a wonderful collection of historic photographs:

Here's a build I've been waiting to photograph for ages! It's a 'classical' steampunk city diorama, with an open back and full interior. I also lit it up using Lightailing lights!
It can also split into 2 parts, and a section comes off to reveal another hidden interior.
This main shot is a bit like the 18+ ones, with a more natural background, and some steampunky objects.

Classical Khmer kings of medieval Cambodia promoted the notion of Devarāja, a cult of the "god-king” that provided the religious rationale for royal authority. They were depicted as divine universal rulers or deified monarchs with transcendental qualities.
The gigantic smiling faces at Bayon Temple portray the great Mahayana Buddhist king, Jayavarman VII, as a living god on earth - a Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara or enlightened Buddhist saint overseeing a vast and disparate empire with an enigmatic blend of benevolence and absolute authority.
Bayon Temple served as the primary locus of the royal cult and was Jayavarman's personal mausoleum at the height of his rein over the Khmer Empire in the late 12th Century. The temple is positioned at the centre of the ancient Angkor Thom city complex and rural metropolis in northwestern Cambodia. Over 200 serenely smiling visages carved on more than 50 sandstone face-towers remain throughout the temple.

I'm surprised this kind of path or road was built in the 1930s. It's miniscule by DC standards but would probably still be an open road in Philly. Today it's closed by bollards and is wonderful pedestrian path.
