Customs House on the Bund was built between 1925 and 1927, replacing a smaller Customs House which stood on the same site.
The clock in the tower was the largest in Asia when it was built, its face measuring 5.4 metres in diameter with a 3.17 m long minute hand.
The buildng still houses the Shanghai Customs department, though China Customs also has a modern building on the Pudong side of Huangpu River - directly opposite the historic building.

LOKMA (friedcake)
The lokma of Izmir is very famous… This dessert is prepared in the following way: The dough with yeast (Put a little tea sugar into the dough) is put in very hot oil. When the dough is taken out of the oil, put some sweet syrup on it. There are queues in front of every place where this dessert is well-prepared.
Answer to sevgili Rita'm : This info was from the internet.What they mean by ''tea sugar ''must really be the refined type of sugar as you said .And not in cube form (I mean lumps of sugar) but in tiny granule (grain) type I guess.So you put spoonfuls of it.
Just has the pleasure of meeting up with Warren (Fasene) on his trip to Adelaide. Thanks mate for a great little industrial shoot.
I even liked the design on the pillars. No detail was missed.

Colours I perhaps wouldn't have picked, but they create subtle distinction within the building.

I managed to fit in a quick visit to Dublin before Christmas and six weeks of lockdown here. This is the Customs House, with some seasonal lighting. A belated Merry Christmas to everyone!
The church is a Co-cathedral to the Eparchy of Piana degli Albanesi of the Italo-Albanian Catholic Church, a diocese which includes the Italo-Albanian (Arbëreshë) communities in Sicily who officiate the liturgy according to the Byzantine Rite in the Koine Greek language and Albanian language. The Church bears witness to the Eastern religious and artistic culture still present in Italy today, further enhanced by the Albanian exiles who took refuge in southern Italy and Sicily from the 15th century under the pressure of Turkish-Ottoman persecutions in Albania and the Balkans. The latter influence has left considerable traces in the painting of icons, in the religious rite, in the language of the parish, in the traditional customs of some Albanian colonies in the province of Palermo. The community is part of the Catholic Church, but follows the ritual and spiritual traditions that largely share it with the Eastern Orthodox Church.
The church is characterized by a multiplicity of styles that meet, since, through the succession of centuries, it was enriched by various tastes in art, architecture and culture. Today, it stands as a church-historical monument, and subject to protection.
The Forehall is decorated with later frescoes of comparatively little artistic significance. The frescoes in the middle part of the walls are from the 18th century, attributed to the flemish painter Guglielmo Borremans.
Since 3 July 2015 it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale.

A part of my Castles America series, the US Customs House, Portland, ME, circa 1872, as seen on October 17, 2023.
We visited this extraordinary archaeological site which was once the most northern Roman fortress at the edge of the Roman Empire in Dacia, nowadays Romania. We walked on the Roman road which once connected Porolissum castrum with other Roman cities (Napoca, Apulum, Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa), crossed the Danube at Drobeta and continued all the way to Rome.
See below some details about the site from Wikipedia.
"Porolissum was an ancient Roman city in Dacia. Established as a military camp in 106 during Trajan's Dacian Wars, the city quickly grew through trade with the native Dacians and became the capital of the province Dacia Porolissensis in 124. The site is one of the largest and best-preserved archaeological sites in modern-day Romania, 8 km away from Zalău, Sălaj County.
Even though the city was founded as a military center in the middle of a war, the garrison of Porolissum seems to have lived in peaceful coexistence with their Dacian neighbours - several Dacian villages that were apparently founded after the city of Porolissum have been uncovered by archaeologists on the surrounding hills. There are also some inscriptions mentioning city officials with Romano-Dacian names, indicating close cooperation on a political level.
The excavations by a number of teams are ongoing and have uncovered remnants of both the military installations and the civilian city, including public baths, a customs house, a temple to Liber Pater, an amphitheatre, insula consisting of four buildings and a number of houses. The main gate (Porta Praetoria) of the stone fortress has been rebuilt." (Wikipedia)
Inside the city's first skyscraper, the Custom's House Tower features an ornate rotunda with flags of the various merchant houses prominent at the time of its construction. Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Had a bit of time to kill while Mrs W had her hair done.
I love the area around the Customs House on Purfleet. I'd not noticed this view before.

The construction of the Customs House, at 1 Front Street, south of Lambard Street, was started in 1852 and finished in 1858. The building was unusual at that time for its fire-proof construction with iron beams inside the stone walls. The original building was completely made of granite. The 1912 addition was also granite from the same quarry at Mussel Ridge Islands in Penobscot Bay. The architectural style of the 2.5 story building is Italianate. The roof is a hipped roof. That architectural style was rarely seen in this area at that time. The building is considered elaborate because of the detail of how the stone was cut, set, and placed.
