A number of houses in Berkeley feature columns at the facade, a style popular in the 19-teens when many were built near the UC Berkeley campus. Originally, many housed professors and their families, but later were turned into apartments for off-campus student housing (privately owned and operated, as now).
The Château de Chambord is one of the most recognisable châteaux in the world because of its very distinctive French Renaissance architecture which blends traditional French medieval forms with classical Renaissance structures. The building, which was never completed, was constructed by Francis
Chambord is the largest château in the Loire Valley; it was built to serve as a hunting lodge for Francis I, who maintained his royal residences at the Château de Blois and Amboise. The original design of the Château de Chambord is attributed to Italian architect Domenico da Cortona; Leonardo da Vinci may also have been involved or influenced the design.
Chambord was altered considerably during the 28 years of its construction (1519–1547), during which it was overseen on-site by Pierre Nepveu. With the château nearing completion, Francis showed off his enormous symbol of wealth and power by hosting his old archrival, Emperor Charles V, at Chambord.
In 1792, in the wake of the French Revolution, some of the furnishings were sold and timber removed. For a time the building was left abandoned, though in the 19th century some attempts were made at restoration. During the Second World War, art works from the collections of the Louvre and the Château de Compiègne were moved to the Château de Chambord. The château is now open to the public, receiving 700,000 visitors in 2007. Flooding in June 2016 damaged the grounds but not the château itself.
Construction of the current Parliament
Buildings started in 1893 and they were
officially opened on February 10, 1898.
The architect, Francis Rattenbury, was just
25 years old when he won the competition
to design the new buildings.
The style of the Parliament Buildings has been
described as ‘free classical’ and ‘Romanesque.’
Raw materials from throughout British
Columbia were used for the construction
of the buildings, including andesite from
Haddington Island for the 150 meter
(500-foot) long façade and granite from
Nelson Island for the foundation and front
stairs. The roof is capped by 33 copper domes
of different sizes. On top of the central dome,
stands a gold plated, two-metre tall statue of
Captain George Vancouver. Each night, the
buildings are illuminated by more than 3500
energy-efficient light bulbs.
In addition to the magnificent Parliament
Buildings, the Legislative precinct is home to
numerous landmarks of historical importance
and many beautiful fountains, trees, and
gardens.

Most people regard redundant gasometers as eyesores that should be demolished as quickly as possible.....and to be honest, I can't honestly put up much of an argument against with this soon to be demolished example from Weymouth. However, they have always been a source of fascination ever since I was a child. As an adult I watched many televised cricket Test Matches from the Oval in London, with the adjacent gas holder looming behind the ground. Get them whilst you can. They are disappearing fast.

Behind the scenes moments
The Clewiston Inn (also known as The Inn) is a historic site in Clewiston, Florida, United States. It is located at U.S. 27, west of the junction with CR 832, and is the oldest hotel in the area of Lake Okeechobee. On February 21, 1991, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The Clewiston Inn was originally built along the unprotected waterfront of Lake Okeechobee in 1926 by the Clewiston Company, the community, and real estate development arm of Bror Dahlberg's Southern Sugar Company. Ownership passed to the United States Sugar Corporation in 1931 when Charles Stewart Mott formed the company and acquired the assets of the Southern Sugar Company, which went into bankruptcy in 1929. The building survived the great 1926 and 1928 hurricanes but was destroyed by a fire in 1937 and the classical revival style structure was rebuilt in 1938. The Everglades Lounge and Bar inside has a 360-degree wildlife mural featuring the flora and fauna of the Florida Everglades. It was created in the early 1940s by J. Clinton Shepherd (1888-1975). This Palm Beach artist stayed at the Inn for many months, making frequent trips to the Everglades to sketch the animals.

Ellen (9) is one of my piano pupils, and wanted a blue house with a Classical interior (her words!!). Walls decorated with 5p coins and a button.
The Goethe House (the yellow house to the right) is one of the 12 buildings/ensembles that the World Heritage consists of. In the late 18th century and early 19th century the town of Weimar witnessed a remarkable cultural flowering, attracting many writers and scholars. The German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was one of them. He settled in Weimar in 1775 and in 1782 he moved in to this house. He became friends with German poet Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805). This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism.

Please have a look on my other Interesting Shot comments & critics are most welcome =) thanks
The origin of the name dates back to ancient times; since then the town has been part of the Roman, the Byzantine, the Frankish and the Ottoman Empires. Kyparissia did not became Greek again until the Greek War of Independence which began in 1821 and was finally won in the late 1820s. After World War II and the Greek Civil War, several buildings were rebuilt, but much neo-classical architecture remains today.It is also an agricultural trade centre. Olive growing dominates the local agriculture; the town is almost surrounded by olive groves and trees and mixed farming. Forests including cypresses and pines lie to its east.
There is an acropolis and a fortress built during the Frankish period.
Downtown is nearly 200 m from the shoreline of the Ionian Sea, which includes the nearby Gulf of Kyparissia (Kyparissiakos Kolpos), and west of the nearest mountains. The town has a port to the northwest in the bay;
its barriers are almost shaped like the letter G, but the southwest barrier runs to the northwest from the point.
The port is mainly used for cargo purposes and has no ferry services.
The shoreline features sea turtles, Caretta caretta.

The 45EPIC landscapes and goddesses are straight out of Homer's Iliad & Odyssey!
I'm currently updating a translation with the Greek names for the gods and goddesses--will publish soon! :)
"RAGE--Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Zeus fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. " --Homer's Iliad capturing the rage of the 45EPIC landscapes and seascapes! :)
