One of the buildings belonging to the former British consulate complex close to the northern end of the Bund. On old Shanghai maps you'll find it as H.B.M. Consulate (H.B.M. = His/Her British Majesty).
Now the flagship store of a high-end Swiss watch company occupies the building.
Also note the highly attentive attitude of the gate guard...

The Consulado General de Portugal in the Rua Pedro Nolasco da Silva, Macau.
The building is the former "St. Raphael Hospital and Garden", established in 1569, the first western-style hospital in Asia.
The current appearance dates to its last reconstruction in 1939.

By the way, how must be the Brazilian Embassy / Consulate there? :¬)

The Russian Consulate is unique within all the other consulates in Shanghai, as it is still in the original building of the former Tsarist Russian Consulate. It has never ever moved to another location despite regime changes in Russia and China and the wars against the Japanese aggression with the bitter fighting along the Suzhou Creek front line.

The Consulate General of France is the consular representation of the French Republic in the state of New York, in the United States of America. The Consulate General is housed in the Charles E. Mitchell House, at 934 Fifth Avenue, between 74th and 75th streets.
The Consulate’s mission is to provide protection and administrative services to French citizens living or traveling in the district. Under the authority of the French Embassy in the United States, its consular district extends across three states (New York, Connecticut and New Jersey), as well as the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda.
Currently housing the Consulate General of France, 934 Fifth Avenue was the residence of Charles E. Mitchell, President of the National City Bank (now Citibank). Ms. Anne-Claire Legendre has been the Consul General since August 2016.
Named "Chudleigh" for his home town in Devon, England, the successful tanner and leather merchant George Lissant Beardmore built this Second Empire mansion in 1872. It was the first of many grand homes along a then-nascent Beverley Street that had only recently been parcelled off from the Boulton Estate, for which the Georgian Grange manor house served as the family seat from 1817. George Wathen Beardmore, G. L. Beardmore's son, later built additions to Chudleigh in 1890, 1900, and 1901, all designed by Eden Smith.
Chudleigh became Toronto's Italian consulate in 1930, but was seized by the Government of Canada in 1939 at the outbreak of World War II and became a Royal Canadian Mounted Police barracks. In 1962, the building was returned to the Italian Government and served as the Centro Organizzativo Scuole Tecniche Italiane (COSTI), a centre that helped Italian immigrants integrate into Toronto society. The city's Italian consulate returned to Chudleigh in 1979 after extensively restoring the century home.
Protest for Lebanon and Gaza © Linda Dawn Hammond / IndyFoto July 29, 2006 "Of the 615 people so far confirmed dead, Save The Children says that almost half are children. They make up one third of the 3,225 injured, and about 45 per cent of the nearly one million Lebanese refugees are under the age of 18, according to Unicef."
WORLD WIDE PETITION - CEASEFIRE CAMPAIGN
news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article1211289.ece
Help save the children, victims of war .
This photo was not staged. A 2 year old Palestinian baby, Isabelle, playing with a protest sign. Her mother had poured some water on her to cool off and it had created a small puddle, which the child had then played with. Across from Israeli Consulate, July 29th, 2006 protest march from the Israeli Consulate to the American consulate, Toronto, in support of the Lebanese people caught up in the deadly Israeli attack on their country. Demand for an immediate ceasefire. Unfortunately, no-one in "power" appears to be listening.
Innocent people, the majority of whom are children, continue to die. How many perished today, as the buildings they were hiding in came tumbling down around them? Places where the media either cannot or dare not penetrate? The targeted bombing of the UN observer post, with the resultant deaths of 4 unarmed foreign peacekeepers, appears to have achieved what may have been its intended goal- the UN has since pulled out its 50 remaining unarmed observers from their posts along the Southern border. This could have been STOPPED WEEKS AGO! "Two soldiers" are no justification for this kind of carnage- the "response" to their "kidnapping" serves as a cynical excuse for Israel to destabilize a neighbouring country, compromising their sovereignty and elected government's authority. Nato forces, if employed, should be there to keep the peace, NOT prop up a puppet government put in place by occupying forces. Let's hope that isn't the next strategy...
If you have the stomach to see what Israel did to the children of Quana, go to this image site- but be warned, it is graphic.

In five months of research, Human Rights Watch investigated 94 cases of air, artillery and ground attacks by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to discern the circumstances surrounding the deaths of 510 civilians and 51 combatants, nearly half the at least 1,125 Lebanese deaths during the conflict. Of the approximately 510 Lebanese civilian deaths investigated by Human Rights Watch, at least 300 were women or children.

Poland Regained: Polish Posters from the 1890s to the 1930s is a visual link to the centennial celebrations of Poland recovering independence in 1918. The posters featured were made between 1892 and 1939: after the 123-year period of the Partitions (1795-1918), when Poland was gone from the map of Europe, and during the 20 years of its existence as an independent state up until the outbreak of World War II. Exhibition will be on view in the outdoors public exhibition space on the front fencing of the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland
It is unusual to see the Royal Mile and the roads leading up to it (such as George IV Bridge seen here) so quiet and deserted, particularly given that this shot was taken well after lockdown and travel restrictions in the UK had started to ease.
George IV Bridge is an elevated street in Edinburgh, Scotland, and is home to a number of the city's important public buildings. Measuring 300 metres (330 yd) in length, the bridge was constructed between 1827 and 1836 as part of the Edinburgh Improvement Act of 1827. Named after King George IV, it was designed by architect Thomas Hamilton (1784–1858) to connect the South Side district of Edinburgh to the Old Town (Royal Mile) and then use streets on the north to connect to the New Town.
At the north end of the street, where it joins the Royal Mile (Lawnmarket), stands the French Consulate on the east side. Built between 1900 and 1905 as the Midlothian County Buildings, the building was later used by the Lothian Regional Council and following amalgamation with the District Council became a flagship Council office, including the offices of the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages from 2007.
Further south along the street lies the National Library of Scotland and (opposite) the Edinburgh Central Library, the latter being one of the many free libraries constructed with money provided by the Scottish-born philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.

This is the former British consulate complex close to the northern end of the Bund. On the left is the former residence of the consul (built 1884), on the right the consulate itself (built 1872). On old Shanghai maps you'll find it as H.B.M. Consulate (H.B.M. = His/Her British Majesty).
The slightly taller building in the right background is the Shanghai Peninsula Hotel.
In the central background the Pearl of the Orient tower, Jin Mao Tower and the SWFC, all located on the Pudong side of the Huangpu River.
Though the official location is 33 Zhongshan East No.1 Road (中山东一路33号), this is shot from the rear side of the complex, Yuanmingyuan Road.
Please also note that flickr's crappy location database wrongly states "Hongkou" instead of Huangpu, even if the photo is placed correctly onto the map/satellite image.

In the Russian war against Ukraine, Poland has been a truly compassionate and generous friend and neighbour since day one. Despite Poland and Ukraine having had historical animosities for generations, Poland opened up its border and let millions of Ukrainian refugees in, housing them, feeding them, schooling them, comforting them.
I honour Poland's incredibly kindness. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
I've been supporting the nations helping Ukraine by donating money to the Red Cross and Canada-Ukraine Foundation for the humanitarian efforts.

Feeling uplifted on the day of the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States I took an early morning Covid Exercise Walk past the Consulate General of the United States in Regent Terrace, Edinburgh.
I add in the comments below a link to my photo of Abraham Lincoln standing in the Old Calton Burial Ground at the foot of Calton Hill - part of a 1893 Memorial to Scots who fought and died in the American Civil War. This is the only monument to the American Civil War outside the United States and was the first statue to a US President outside her own borders. It is the only statue of Lincoln in Scotland.

Watch the Before-and-After Comparison to see where this photo comes from!
The story of this photo:
This is the main room at the seat of the Consulate of the Sea in Valencia, Spain. This is where the important judicial decisions concerning the Mediterranean sea were taken since 1498. Of course, at that time the chairs and the projector have not been in here. ;-)
This was quite a tricky shot to process. The original source files were a bit on the dark side and had more noise than usual because I shot with an exposure compensation of -1EV (thought it would be a good idea at that time). So, I had to work with different intensities of noise reduction of different areas of the shot. Still, I like the result.
Enjoy!
Take a look at my "HDR Cookbook"! It contains some more information on my techniques.
How it was shot:
> Taken handheld [details]
> Three exposures (0, -2, +2ev)
> Camera: Nikon D90
> Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm 1:3,5-5,6G ED VR
> Details can be found here
How it was tone-mapped:
> Preparation: developed the RAW files with ACR mainly in order to reduce the CA [details]
> Resulting TIF images were then used as input to Photomatix
> Tone-mapping: Photomatix Pro 4.0 (Detail Enhancer)
How it was post-processed:
> Post-processing was done in Photoshop
> Topaz Adjust on the entire image to get back the colors and the details [details]
> Topaz Denoise on the entire image (different intensity in different areas) [details]
> Topaz Infocus on the entire image for sharpening
> Saturation layers on the floor, the curtains , and the projector (desaturation)
> Curves layer on the floor (more contrast)
> Saturation layer on the ceiling (toned down a bit)
> Levels layer on the ceiling (more contrast)
> Levels layers on the candleholders and the projector (more contrast)
> Sharpening using the high-pass filter [details]
> Vignette effect using a masked fill layer [details]
> Watermarking
