The Grade II Listed St Matthew's Church ln the shore of Rutland Reservoir, in the county of Rutland.
The church was built in classical style for the Normanton Hall estate on the site of a 14th-century building. Except for the tower, the medieval church was rebuilt in 1764 by Sir Gilbert Heathcote, 3rd Baronet. A new classical tower and the western portico were built by Thomas Cundy junior between 1826 and 1829, based on the design of St John's, Smith Square, Westminster; the nave and apse were constructed in 1911, by J. B. Gridley of London.
The church was de-consecrated in 1970 and was to have been demolished as part of the reservoir construction, as its floor was below the proposed water level. Following a public outcry, the lower half was filled with stone and rubble, and a concrete cap constructed just below the level of the windows. An embankment was built around the church leaving it a prominent feature on the water's edge. The structure is owned by Anglian Water and is now used as a venue for civil weddings and concerts. It formerly housed a museum recording the history of Rutland Water.

Kirby Hall is an Elizabethan country house, located near Gretton, Northamptonshire, England. (Nearest town being Corby). Kirby was owned by Sir Christopher Hatton, Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I. It is a leading and early example of the Elizabethan prodigy house. Construction on the building began in 1570 based on the designs in French architectural pattern books and expanded in the classical style over the course of the decades. The house is now in a semi-ruined state with many parts roof-less although the Great Hall and state rooms remain intact.

The grave stele of an Athenian wife and mother, dating to ca 370 BC. An inscription giving her name, Phylonoe, is inscribed on the epistyle of the naiskos framing the scene:
Ενθάδε Φιλονόη κείται θυγάτηρ Σώφρων Ευσύνετος πάσαν έχο[υσ᾽ άρετή]ν
Here lies Phylonoe, a wise, intelligent daughter, endowed with every virtue.
The woman dressed in chiton and himation, is seated on a diphros to the left, her feet resting on a footstool. Her right arm is bent, the hand lightly resting against her right shoulder, while the left forearm rests on her lap. Her head is inclined, and when the relief is seen from some distance, it seems as if she is actually supporting her chin with her right hand.
Facing Phylonoe, there stands a woman holding an infant in her arms. Despite the grave expression on her face, she does not look at the deceased, as is often the case with secondary figures on classical Attic grave reliefs. Her gaze is directed at the infant that extends one hand to its mother, the other hand unfortunately not preserved. Phylonoe does not react to her baby’s dramatic gesture. She no longer belongs to the world of the living, where her offspring still resides. The infant’s obvious longing for its mother is not reciprocated by the deceased, who is rather detached and immersed in deep melancholy. Even though the grave stele honours Phylonoe, it is the infant’s gesture that captures the spectator’s gaze first. The image of the baby trying in vain to attract its dead mother’s attention, enhances the iconography of the relief that marked the grave of a mother by creating a particularly tragic contrast between the baby’s pathos, and the mother’s impassivity. Thus, the iconography of the stele does not focus on the sad fate of the young mother alone, but also on the motherless baby she left behind, as well as the grievous separation of the two. Death and orphanhood are juxtaposed on the stele of Phylonoe, closely linked to one another. Hence, it is not surprising that the standing woman’s gaze is not directed at the deceased, but at the unfortunate infant that has been forever deprived of its mother.

The refurbished building is based on the original courthouse, which dates back to 1849 when it was designed by J B Keane.
During construction, the remains of an early medieval graveyard were discovered on the former fire station site to the rear of the courthouse building. It appears to be associated with St Catherine’s Abbey – a 12th century settlement which is believed to have been located on what is now Catherine Street.
Here is a description of the building prior to it being refurbished: "A fine, imposing Classical-style courthouse, built to designs prepared by John B. Keane (d. 1859), which is of significance as one of the largest-scale civic buildings in the locality. Apparently disused by the late twentieth century, over-zealous renovation works carried out to reuse the building have detracted considerably from the original design, comprising an inappropriate infill return, while the interior retains little of its original form, with the exception of the entrance hall. Nevertheless, the original form of the courthouse remains discernible to the exterior, dominated by an impressive portico, and the construction and reserved detailing attest to high quality local stone masonry and craftsmanship. The courthouse remains an important component of the architectural heritage of Waterford City."

Paris, France - July 2019: Dalida statue at Place Dalida in Montmartre. The Dalida statue is a bronze bust, placed on the five blocks of nicely cut granite stones, it reflects the French music icon Dalida, with her distinct look. The bust is bronze and natural sized and was sculpted by the French artist Aslan in 1997. Place Dalida is located at the crossroads between Rue Girardon and Rue de l'Abreuvoir.
The serpentine curves and fierce lion's head of this antique door knocker seem to guard secrets behind this Parisian door. With every touch, you can almost feel the stories it has witnessed through centuries, welcoming and protecting those who dared to knock.

The panorama of classic Thai old town waterfront and Chanthaburi River, in Chanthaburi Province, in the early morning.
Les belles couleurs se projettent également sur ce beau batîment militaire qu'est l'Aubette. Il n'est bien sur plus utilisé pour une telle fonction et sert maintenant de mini-centre commercial pour le rez-de-chaussée et de salle de spectacle / musée / performance artistique pour l'étage.
Having shown a light fixture in the King's Hall a couple of days ago, I thought I'd follow up with one from the House of Representatives. I'd be interested to know which you prefer!
The House of Representatives is a large internal space in the Old Parliament Building in Canberra, with ceilings considerably higher than that of King's Hall. It is lined with timber panelling, representative of designer John Smith Murdoch's simplified classical style, with furnishings in a similar style. The timber used in the wall panelling, the desks, seats and tables is all Australian black bean wood and Tasmanian blackwood. The hand-woven carpets have a pattern of eucalyptus leaves and wattle blossom.
The House of Representatives is characterised by the colour green, representing the historic inheritance of the Representatives, as the lower house and the house in which governments are formed, from the House of Commons in the Palace of Westminster.
The Old Parliament Building was where Australia's Parliament sat from 1927 to 1988. It is now generally open as a museum for the public to visit.

Welcome to the Kingdom of Cambodia!
After two months in Vietnam it was time to say goodbye. Departing from Hanoi I flew into Saigon and then connected onward to Siem Reap, Cambodia, the gateway town to Angkor Wat, the largest religious structure in the world.
Siem Reap is both the tourist and transportation hub of Cambodia. Contrasted against the historical ruins of Angkor Wat (about three kilometers south of the temples), it is a modern town with many western amenities.
“Pub Alley” is the main street in Siem Reap that features Western style restaurants and bars. Every evening the Temple Bar features an Apsara dance show where I photographed this performer. It was very difficult to photograph the show due to the poor lighting.
Apsara dance is the traditional Cambodian dance that was practiced in the royal palaces. This traditional dance almost went extinct during the bloody reign of the Khmer Rouge.
The Khmer dance is characterized by intricate finger and body movements (i.e. flexibility) which usually convey a story or message.
Even though Thailand markets itself as “The Land of Smiles,” I would have to say Cambodia embodies that slogan. Everywhere I went I was always welcomed with a warm smile and gracious hospitality, taking into account the country’s tragic history, I found this truly amazing.
Join me on my photo tour of Cambodia!

Happy Travels!

Entrace of Esterházy Castle.
The castle is one of a couple of residences of the Hungarian-Austro noble family Esterházy, and today a museum and venue for classical music.
Being a former Austrian fortress, it was being renovated several times during the baroque period until it came into the possession of the Esterházy family and was redesigned in classical style between 1805 and 1815.
Carnegie Library building in Atlantic City, NJ USA. Built by the city in 1903 with a matching grant from Andrew Carnegie, a much celebrated Capitalistic gangster of the Gilded Age. It was operated as the Atlantic City Free Public Library until 1985 when the city opened a new, larger facility. For some years recently it was used as part of Stockton College but has now been returned to the city of Atlantic City.
I did some research in here during the 1970s when I was in college. I wrote a paper on the differences between news coverage reported by The Atlantic City press newspaper and the Camden Courier Post. I came across one story where an enterprising reporter interviewed a street prostitute about a Lions convention in town. He quoted her: "Those Lions are real tigers." Ironically, I was being stalked by a street prostitute on the Saturday afternoon I took this picture. A security guard at the building pointed her out to me and told me what she was about!
