The columns and ceiling at the southeast corner of the Walhalla memorial.
The Walhalla memorial is a hall of fame that honours distinguished people "of the German tongue".
The idea for such a memorial is from (at that time) Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1807. The building in neoclassicistic style, modeled after the Parthenon in Athens, was finally begun in 1830 and completed in 1842.

"True stability results when presumed order and presumed disorder are balanced. A truly stable system expects the unexpected, is prepared to be disrupted, waits to be transformed.”

I don't have any info on this building,but it's one of those strikingly detailed structures I saw on my way to Union Square Park in Manhattan on 14th St.If you want to find the faces on the façade just pinch zoom your device.The two obvious ones are near the bottom, then there are four more.What I find most interesting on it however are the Greek-styled column images between the windows on each floor.There are three types.I don't know the columns for the center windows.The bottom row of windows have Corinthian columns on them and the the top row have Ionic columns on them.Interesting patterned lines going across also. That top one looks like a zipper when zoomed in.Enjoy.
