Arch of Titus in the Forum, Rome. This is especially interesting in the detailed relief on the south panel showing the spoils of the temple of Jerusalem being carried off by the Roman soldiers.

Em Gammel Mønt, em Copenhaga, Dinamarca, ergue-se um edifício de fachada laranja que sobressai entre as construções vizinhas. As suas janelas alinhadas e o telhado tradicional evidenciam a arquitetura histórica da cidade. Na base, os grafites acrescentam um elemento urbano ao ambiente. A presença da placa "Gammel Mønt" e da loja "Skipper Stoffer" remete para a história e a atividade comercial desta rua.

The neoclassical palace was built in 1839 on behalf of the Greek merchant Nicolò Stratti, architect Antonio Buttazzoni.
One of the most stunning features of Hearst Castle is the opulent Roman Pool, an indoor swimming pool that looks straight out of a palace from ancient times. This jaw-dropping masterpiece is located beneath the tennis courts and is modeled after the luxurious baths of ancient Rome. Adorned with intricate blue and gold mosaic tiles, the pool is a symbol of wealth and grandeur, capturing the imagination of anyone who visits.
Designed by architect Julia Morgan, the Roman Pool was completed in the mid-1920s and remains one of the most iconic aspects of Hearst Castle today. The small glass and gold tiles (tesserae) are laid out in mesmerizing geometric patterns, with the recurring motif of the ancient Greek key and several depictions of mythological figures, including Neptune and Nereid. The deep blue hue of the tiles combined with the pool’s dramatic lighting creates a surreal and reflective effect, making it seem almost otherworldly. Eight Roman-style statues guard the space, adding to the classical grandeur.
Each corner and detail in the pool was meticulously planned, down to the alabaster lamps that stand elegantly by the pool’s edge, casting a soft glow. The ceiling, though weathered over time, complements the lavishness of the pool with its ornate design.
Visiting Hearst Castle and seeing the Roman Pool is like stepping into a different era, a place where art, architecture, and opulence meet. For architecture buffs and those with a love for history, this pool is not just a swimming area—it's an artistic experience not to be missed.
Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac is a 130 years old hotel, built on the site of residences of colonial governors, and overlooks the old Port Quebec at the mouth of St. Lawrence River (Fleuve Saint-Laurent).
Not surprisingly, this hotel has seen much history, including two Allied conferences during World War II, and counts international royalty and world leaders such as Ronald Reagan among its guests.
The hotel has also been used as location for various films and TV shows, and according to some tour guidebooks, it is the most photographed landmark in Quebec City.
Architectural Elegance gazing up into the geometric grandeur of Tokyo Station's restored dome. A symphony of radial beams, ornate moldings, and classical windows converge towards the central skylight. This monochrome capture emphasizes the interplay of light and shadow, highlighting the timeless craftsmanship of early 20th-century design
The Guildhall is a historic building within the City of London, off Gresham street. It has been used as a town hall for several hundred years, and is still the ceremonial and administrative centre of the City of London Corporation. The building has had many incarnations but the current one was built between 1411 and 1440. Unfortunately the building to the right, The Guildhall Art Gallery, obscures part of the historic building. A strange, later addition to the site.
Back on my New Yawk shit for a minute.
In the sitcom cartoon "Futurama" which is supposed to take place in some sort of dystopian future, they always refer to NYC as New, New York City. These days that phrase is becoming more popular with the tremendous editions of new and modern skyscrapers being added to the skyline.
Curving canyon views of Wall Street. The Fidi area of Lower Manhattan has a beautiful collection of Beaux arts styled buildings from the 1920's era of skyscraper architecture.

This panorama comprises five images showing the Sun setting over the medieval and Renaissance town of Montepulciano, southern Tuscany.
While the enormous ball of hot gas that is our star cannot be directly seen, its presence is suggested by the radiant streams of light emanating from below the horizon — called anticrepuscular rays, or antisolar rays.
Despite appearing to meet at a point just below the horizon, the rays are in fact near-parallel beams of sunlight. Similar to the way that parallel railway lines seem to converge at a point in the distance, this is a trick of perspective; while these rays of sunlight do eventually meet at the Sun, it is a great deal further away than they make it appear.
Earth’s atmosphere, made up of gases, particulates and clouds, has shaped the way humans have seen the Sun for as long as they have been able to perceive it, for example making the white-hot star appear yellow against a blue sky, masking the infinite blackness of space.
However, as soon as we get past this protective layer, the true effect of our raging Sun becomes apparent in the fast changing, and potentially harmful environment of space, where space weather rules.
Space weather refers to the environmental conditions in space as influenced by solar activity; besides emitting a continuous stream of electrically charged atomic particles, the Sun periodically emits billions of tonnes of material threaded with magnetic fields in colossal-scale ‘coronal mass ejections’.
These ‘solar sneezes’ can and have caused significant disruption to Earth’s protective magnetic bubble and upper atmosphere, affecting satellites in orbit, navigation systems, terrestrial power grids, and data and communication networks. A recent ESA study estimated the potential impact in Europe from a single, extreme space weather event could be about €15 billion.
For this reason, ESA is planning a new mission to monitor the Sun’s activity and provide early warnings. The spacecraft will be positioned between the Sun and Earth at a special position called the fifth Lagrange point. From here, it can observe the ‘side’ of our star, detecting rapidly changing solar activity before it reaches Earth, providing much-needed warning of extreme weather events, allowing measures to be taken to protect and minimise any possible damage to satellites in orbit or infrastructure on Earth.

I had a chance to bring my camera to work with me to grab some shots of the city from a rooftop 40 floors above Lower Manhattan. By chance there were workers rappelling on another skyscraper's rooftop as I was setting up my camera. They seemed to be higher than the rooftop I was on so I grabbed my telephoto lens and captured a few shots of them busy at work over 500ft. above the streets of the Financial District. The thought alone was enough to turn my legs into noodles and make my palms sweat. I was in a secure location on the rooftop but that didn't stop me from feeling a bit weezy watching them through my zoom lens. As the title says that line of work is not for everyone.
Below I added a couple of other shots so you can get a sense of the scale of the building & to see how high up they were. Zoom in to see the details of the work being done and of course the classic 1920's architecture of Lower Manhattan.
