Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church, also known as Calvary-Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church, is a historic Episcopal church complex located at Rochester in Monroe County, New York. Designed by Richard M. Upjohn, it was constructed in phases between 1873 and 1880. The Gothic Revival style brick and stone complex consists of two interconnected sections: the church, composed of the church, bell tower, and entry porch, and the original rectory and chapel. The high altar and window were designed by George Hausshalter. The window was made by the Tiffany studios of New York. In 1968, the Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church merged with Calvary Presbyterian Church to form Calvary St. Andrews, a Presbyterian parish.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1] It is located in the South Wedge Historic District. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Andrew%27s_Episcopal_Church_(Rochester,_New_York)

This is the reverse shot of the buildings I took at the bus stop the other day. Kinda cool. I like them.
The building manager/courtesy officer is doing a real crappy-ass job. Yesterday these people living in the floor below me had loud music with heavy bass and wouldn't turn it down until I had to get out on the balcony and yell at them. And now, at 5:40 AM, the fire alarm has been going on for over half an hour. What the hell is this dead-beat doing. It's pissing me off.

Watts Towers, group of folk-art towers in the Watts section of Los Angeles. The complex was built (1921–54) single-handedly by the self-taught Italian immigrant Simon Rodia (also spelled Rodilla, 1879–1965). Of varying heights (the tallest is nearly 100 ft/30 m high) and shapes, they are enigmatic and extraordinarily fanciful structures, sculptural in appearance and reminiscent of Antonio Gaudí's imaginative architecture. Elegant monuments to Rodia's inventiveness and industry, they are constructed of steel, stone, and cement, often in a kind of filigree, and inlaid with found objects such as china shards, bits of glass, seashells, and bottle caps in a multitude of patterns. Once considered an eyesore and threatened with demolition, the complex was eventually recognized as a significant work of art and designated a national landmark. Damaged by the 1994 earthquake, the towers underwent extensive renovations from 1995 to 2001.

The Louis Hartlooper complex stands at the southern end of the Oudegracht where it meets the canal that surrounds the ancient city centre. Louis Hartlooper was a character in Utrecht's past ... a film narrator from the silent film era.
The building itself was originally a police station, designed in the "Amsterdam Style|" by local architect John Isaac Planjer. Planjer was responsible for many of the more interesting civic buildings in Utrecht.
The building was converted to a multi-screen cinema between 2002 and 2004. To accommodate the theatres the interior was enlarged by digging down into the ground, as the exterior is not allowed to be changed.
IT was re-opened in 2004 by Louis Hartlooper junior and now specialises in art house films.

Colt provided a smoke control scheme, which consisted of pneumatic Seefire ventilators linked to a central control system. These have translucent blades to maximise daylight entry, and provide fire protection for the malls, fire escape routes and stock rooms.

Walking through the mirror maze in the petroleum exhibit at the Museum of Science & Industry. I was supposedly imagining myself as a hydrocarbon molecule, and getting lost among the increasingly complex hydrocarbon molecules on the mirrors. I was actually just getting annoyed at all the kids running around, but that's about par for the course.

Men's waistcoats changed in style across the Georgian period, starting off long with no collar, and becoming shorter and shorter until they finished just above the level of the waist, frequently with turn over collars. This mid-length example is from the 1730s, the same decade that Bath entrepreneur and philanthropist Ralph Allen (1693-1794) donated funds and stone from his quarries on Combe Down to found the Mineral Water Hospital in the centre of the city.

The Bath Assembly Rooms, built 1769-71, designed by John Wood, the Younger (1728-82).
Opened by subscription on 30 September 1771 to serve the fast-expanding upper town, this 'large and noble block' (Pevsner) became the heart of polite Bath society: see the description in Dickens's 'The Pickwick Papers' (1836). One of the most magnificent of all Georgian civic buildings, it entered use as a lecture and concert hall (in which Liszt performed) in the 19th century before becoming a cinema and market in the 20th. The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), through the munificence of Ernest Cook, bought the building in 1931. It was lavishly restored under the eye of Mowbray Green, the Bath architect, and re-opened in October 1938. Severe bomb damage in April 1942 affected the interior, and the ballroom in particular, leaving the building a gutted shell: this was Bath's most severe architectural casualty of the war. A second full restoration was undertaken in the early 1960s under the direction of Sir Albert Richardson, assisted by E.A.S. Houfe; Oliver Messel advised on the decorative schemes. The Assembly Rooms were re-opened in May 1963. The complex now includes the Museum of Costume, housed in the basement (work undertaken in 1978-79).

The Musee Unterlinden in Colmar is housed in a former Dominican monastery and is one of France's foremost art museums. The old cloister and chapel remain at the heart of the complex with the latter suitably converted to a display area for altarpieces.
However fine the museum's rich collection may be there is one star attraction here, namely Matthias Grunewald's Issenheim Altarpiece (painted sometime between 1490 & 1516).
Housed appropriately in the former monastic chapel, the altarpiece consists of several paintings mounted seperately in order that opening and closing panels would reveal different images suited to respective days of the church calender.
The altarpiece was originally in the Antonnine monastery at Issenheim but was removed after it's closure during the French Revolution, eventually being deposited at the new Musee Unterlinden in 1852. The original framework has been lost, what survives are the sculptures (by Nicholas of Hagenau) from the core of the altarpiece and Grunewald's stunning series of paintings, culminating in his famous Crucifixion group, featuring an agonisingly wounded and exaggerated Christ.
Further horror can be found in the Temptation of St Anthony where the hermit saint is beset by a gang of demons who make Hieronymous Bosch's creations look quite tame. There is also extreme joy and beauty to be found in the images of the Virgin & Child before radiant angel musicians and the strangely luminous Resurrected Christ.
Bangkok's most unmissable attraction is of course the Grand Palace, and most specifically the temple complex of Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), famed for it's riot of coloured and gilded ornament, paintings and sculptures; quite simply, so visually stunning there is nothing quite like it anywhere else!
The Palace and Temple complex were begun in 1782, the year the capital was moved to Bangkok, and parts of the palace buildings betray 18th century European influence combined with traditional Thai style, such as the breathtaking gilt spires on the roof. Most of the interiors of the Palace itself are off limits to visitors since, although no longer the main residence of the thai monarchy, it is frequently used for state functions and ceremonies.
The Wat Phra Kaew complex however is the greatest draw, famed for it's stunning architecture and the famous 'Yaksha' guardian figures that flank all the main entrances to the complex. These towering figures, with their rich colours and tapering crowns, represent demonic characters from the mythological epic the 'Ramakien', and are identifiable as distinct individuals, all here serving a benign, protective role.
The Ramakien is also the subject for a stunning sequence of wall paintings within the cloister that encirlces the entire site, illustrating in minute detail the battles of the heroic monkey warriors, led by the monkey god Hanuman, against the demonic armies and kingdoms of Tosakan.
The Temple of the Emerald Buddha itself forms the largest structure and contains the venerated (though small) Buddha image. The complex contains several other iconic buildings clad in sumptuous decor, most notably the library or 'mondop' with it's gilt spire along with the great golden stupa.
The temple complex is technically a royal chapel rather than a working monastery like most Thai temples as it has no resident monks (the sheer volume of visitors leaves little room for anyone else anyway!).
