Construction of this, Michigan’s first permanent Capitol, began in 1872. The building was completed in 1878. It is, and was, a most elegant structure. It was primarily designed as a Greek Revival style.

Standing in the middle of Memorial Square in the heart of Colac, facing Murray Street is the Colac War Memorial.
Built rather like a classical temple of Roman or Grecian origin, the war memorial is built of sandstone and was erected as a tribute to those who both fought and died in the Great War (1914 - 1918), but it has been supplemented with plaques to other conflicts that occurred in later times. The shrine is engraved "1914 The Shire's Tribute 1918" and features places where conflict took place during the Great War; Egypt, Gallipoli, Palestine, Flanders, Pozieres, Polygon Wood, Bullecourt, Paschendale, Viller Brettoneux and Mont St Quinton. The Colac War Memorial was unveiled by Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Chauvel (1865 - 1945) on the 15th November, 1924. The cost of the memorial was ₤3600.00 and it was built by the monument manufacturers Sale and Keape. There are the names of 1665 men who had enlisted during the war. Those who died as a result of the conflict have their names picked out in gold lettering. A pine tree taken as a cutting from the original Lone Pine tree in Galippoli has been planted at the rear of the shrine on a lush piece of lawn.
Located approximately 150 kilometres to the south-west of Melbourne, past Geelong is the small Western District city of Colac. The area was originally settled by Europeans in 1837 by pastoralist Hugh Murray. A small community sprung up on the southern shore of a large lake amid the volcanic plains. The community was proclaimed a town, Lake Colac, in 1848, named after the lake upon which it perches. The post office opened in 1848 as Lake Colac and was renamed Colac in 1854 when the city changed its name. The township grew over the years, its wealth generated by the booming grazing industries of the large estates of the Western District and the dairy industry that accompanied it. Colac has a long high street shopping precinct, several churches, botanic gardens, a Masonic hall and a smattering of large properties within its boundaries, showing the conspicuous wealth of the city. Today Colac is still a commercial centre for the agricultural district that surrounds it with a population of around 10,000 people. Although not strictly a tourist town, Colac has many beautiful surviving historical buildings or interest, tree lined streets. Colac is known as “the Gateway to the Otways” (a reference to the Otway Ranges and surrounding forest area that is located just to the south of the town).

Kazan Cathedral or Kazanskiy Kafedralniy Sobor, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan, is a cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church on the Nevsky Prospekt in Saint Petersburg. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Kazan, one of the most venerated icons in Russia.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1801 and continued for ten years under the supervision of Alexander Sergeyevich Stroganov. Upon its completion in 1811, the new church replaced the Church of Nativity of the Theotokos, which was disassembled when the Kazan Cathedral was consecrated.
The architect Andrey Voronikhin modelled the building on St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
It was Saturday, November 4, 1989 and I was in Athens. The first thing I did after finding cheap accommodation, was head to the Acropolis. Hand-held analogue selfie at the Parthenon, just avoiding shooting directly into the sun. I visted the site again a few years ago, with my wife and son, and it's just remarkable just how few people there were there back in 1989.

Na Plaza de Sagasta, em Zamora, destaca-se o Edifício das Cariátides, um exemplo marcante da arquitetura modernista. A sua fachada é ornamentada com figuras femininas esculpidas que sustentam a varanda (cariátides), inspiradas na arte clássica. Os detalhes decorativos e as amplas janelas conferem-lhe uma elegância distinta, contrastando com os tons quentes dos edifícios vizinhos. Este conjunto arquitetónico reflete a influência do modernismo no início do século XX, num dos espaços mais emblemáticos da cidade.
It’s a joy to see this classic facade in such prime condition. The details are reminiscent of the Renaissance.
The last comparison shot with theSamyang 14mm and the TS-E 17mm. However sadly, it only took me 2 minutes to set-up the shot with the Samyang vs the 7-8 minutes of TS-E and also the extra 3 mm on the Samyang gives a totally different feel to the final image.
This image was geometrically corrected in Lightroom and also profile corrected. Under closer scrutiny there was little difference between the tilt-shift and this lens. Hard to say which is the clear winner. The fact that this lens is 1/5 the cost, I think wins big points here.

Note: I noticed that yesterday’s stats included around 30 views of this fourteen year old digital photo. After applying a light touch in Snapseed, I decided to post it as it’s one of my all-time favorites and most who follow me have probably never seen it. Please read the paragraphs below as they explain a lot.
Nashville, Tennessee has an exact-size replica of the famous Parthenon in Athens, Greece. It was constructed for the centennial of the United States in 1876 and is in a lovely park near Vanderbilt University. In the early 1980s an effort to reproduce the statue of Athena that originally occupied Greece's Parthenon was undertaken. A lot of research was done to try and be as accurate as possible. The project took eight years to complete and was finished in 1990. The sculptor was Alan LeQuire.
This photo was made with a Fujifilm FinePix A310, a 3 megapixel camera, using a 6 megapixel interpolated file. This image is from the original jpeg file. I steadied the camera against a column in order to get the best possible outcome. Another photographer, just a moment later, asked the mother and daughter to move away. He really missed the point. I think that they made the shot.

This was taken of the Peter and Paul Cathedral and Fortress across the river from the Hermitage. The Cathedral has a 123.2-metre bell-tower (the tallest in the downtown) and a gilded angel-topped cupola.
The cathedral is the burial place of all Russian tsars from Peter I to Alexander III. The remains of the Imperial martyrs, Nicholas II and his family and entourage, were also interred there, in the side St.Catherine's Chapel, on the 80th anniversary of their deaths, July 17, 1998. Towards the end of 2006, the remains of Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna were brought from Roskilde Cathedral outside Copenhagen to finally rest next to her husband, Alexander III.
The Peter and Paul Fortress (Russian: Петропа́вловская кре́пость, Petropavlovskaya Krepost) is the original citadel of St. Petersburg, Russia, founded by Peter the Great in 1703 and built to Domenico Trezzini's designs from 1706 to 1740.

Trying out a new workflow with one of my favorite shots from my archives. The twin pagodas are probably the most photographed structures at the Chinese Garden in Singapore.
Chinese Garden, also commonly known as Jurong Gardens, is a park in Jurong East, Singapore. Built in 1975 and designed by Prof. Yuen-chen Yu, an architect from Taiwan, the Chinese Garden’s concept is based on Chinese gardening art. The main characteristic is the integration of splendid architectural features with the natural environment. The Chinese Garden is modeled along the northern Chinese imperial style of architecture and landscaping.

There were probably thousands of these built in the post war period. This one is a fine neglected example - I love how the two front columns are so obviously classical with simple bases and capitals.
'Today, the Parthenon Marbles which were removed by the Earl of Elgin are in the British Museum. Other sculptures from the Parthenon are now in the Louvre in Paris, in Copenhagen, and elsewhere, but most of the remainder are in Athens in the Acropolis Museum, which still stands below ground level a few metres to the south-east of the Parthenon, but will be soon transferred to a new building. A few can still be seen on the building itself.
The Greek government has been campaigning since 1983 for the British Museum sculptures to be returned to Greece. The British Museum has steadfastly refused to return the sculptures, and successive British governments have been unwilling to force the Museum to do so (which would require legislation). Nevertheless, talks between senior representatives from Greek and British cultural ministries, and their legal advisors took place in London on May 4, 2007. These were the first serious negotiations for several years, and there are hopes that the two sides may move a step closer to a resolution.'

The incredibly beautiful terraced gardens of Rivington may appear on a sunny day to have been constructed thousands of years ago by that Empire sprung of Rome, but they were infact built a mere hundred years ago by British Industrial Soal magnate Lord Leverhulme for his Rivington estate.
The gardens are now open to the public and are a fantastic walk which I highly recommend!
