Die Belgische Tankstelle Vogelsang steht seit 2006 unter Denkmalschutz, da sie „zu den letzten, stilrein erhaltenen Tankstellenbauten der Nachkriegszeit“ zählt. Sie wurde Ende der 1950er Jahre als Funktionsbau des Truppenübungsplatzes „Camp Vogelsang“ von der belgischen Standortkommandantur errichtet. Die Gestaltung der Tankstelle zeigt den Baugeschmack der 1950er Jahre und weist typische Merkmale auf, die sich auch an zivilen Tankstellenbauten der Zeit finden, etwa ihr ovaler Grundriss und die beiden halbrunden Pavillonbauten, die den zentralen und über T-förmige Träger flach überdachten Bereich der Zapfsäulen einfassen.
„Die beiden Tanksäulen wurden bei der Restaurierung an Stelle der nicht mehr vorhandenen Original-Zapfanlagen neu aufgestellt.“
The Belgian gas station Vogelsang has been a listed building since 2006 because it is one of the last, stylishly preserved gas station buildings of the post-war period. It was built at the end of the 1950s as a functional building for the "Camp Vogelsang" military training area by the Belgian headquarters. The design of the petrol station reflects the architectural taste of the 1950s and shows typical features that can also be found in civil petrol station buildings of the time, such as its oval floor plan and the two semicircular pavilions that cover the central area of the petrol pumps, which are flatly roofed over T-shaped girders mounting.
"During the restoration, the two fuel pumps were set up in place of the original dispensing systems that no longer existed."

I went out today and attended a photography meetup. It feels good to be out taking pictures again after the accident.
I finally used my D90 (but not on this shot) and it seemed to be perfectly functional. I've tested my 18-105mm lens yesterday as well and it too is working. I super glued the pieces back and let it sit to dry for 2 days just to make sure it sticks. I am really relieved to know both are still working.
This will be a post and run my friends. I will catch up tomorrow when I get the chance. Thank you for visiting and leaving comments to my photos.
Goodnight.

Thanks for all the faves and kind comments!
A hospital ward, could be anywhere I would think. It is functional too, as long as you know what kind of functions are included or excluded. Is a "sense of beauty" functional? Is a piece of art included in the functions offered by a hospital? A flower perhaps? Small things can make a big difference. Most important is the other thing one cannot see in this picture - the humanity of the hospital staff and the person-to-person contact between nurses, doctors and patients. Whatever the architecture.

Circa 1921 Kodak Pocket Camera 1A-Series II.
The vintage Kodak was purchased by Pam's (my spouse) Great-grandparents, born 1840's, a few years before their death. We found it boxed in the attic when tossing things out during a visit to the house of Pam's mother. Camera is still functional.
Enschede, the Netherlands
Voormalig V&D gebouw
The building was occupied by Vroom & Dreesmann on April 1, 1939 on the Korte Hengelosestraat until the end of 1969. The design by architect Jan Kuyt [June 27, 1884 – February 9, 1944] was designed in the functional style.
The department store in Enschede is one of the last department stores that Jan Kuyt designed for V&D. Jan Kuyt was the chief architect for Vroom & Dreesmann and designed eight fortresses in the Netherlands for V&D.
Also characteristic of the architectural style is the brickwork in Norwegian chain bond. In 2007, the building was completely renovated, mainly on the inside, and made suitable as an office building.

Sciacca's biggest industry is fishing and the town's fishing harbour is large and functional rather than picturesque. Around 500 boats are based here. The port can be reached down a road or flights of steps from the main part of town, which is perched up above. Although it isn't picture-postcard pretty, the harbour offers a chance to see a real working fishing industry, get views back towards the town, and to enjoy incredibly fresh seafood at one of the restaurants in this part of Sciacca.

They fly sooo fast when directly overhead..favored to close in on this one in the short instant available.
This is the new 54,000 square metres large concert, congress and hotel complex in Malmö. The building consists of a composition of cubic volumes that are mutually twisted and given different sizes to meet the directions and building heights of the surrounding city. The façades are designed with a homogeneous expression to make the composition appear as one architectonic sculpture.
The new cultural centre becomes an open, expressive and dynamic building that is manifold in both its activities and its architecture. The point of departure for the building design is the modern Scandinavian architectural tradition with the clear functional organisation and the accessible and open ground floor lay-out. The building becomes the focal point and a landmark for Malmö – a place where the spirit of the city, the diversity and the intimacy is given an architectonic expression.

Tak Wing Pawn Shop
The building at No. 72 Des Voeux Road Central is four-storey high. It is a typical verandah-type shophouse where the front façade projects over the pavement and is supported by two columns to form a covered walkway. It is easily identifiable by the five plastered plaques bearing the Chinese name“德榮大押” on the front façade facing Des Voeux Road Central and the side elevation facing Man Yee Lane (萬宜里). The wall of the side elevation is finished with plaster marked with faux horizontal joint lines. There are altogether 15 metal-framed windows on the side elevation, with one row of four situated slightly higher than the others, which are believed to be the windows for the internal staircase. On the ground floor at the rear elevation is an enclosed backyard. A flagpole used to sit on a short stepped base on the left-hand side of the roof, but it was removed sometime between 1980s and 1990s and only the base remains now.
The building is situated at the intersection of Des Voeux Road Central and Man Yee Lane. Its location on the corner provides a side entrance, catering to customers who wish to avoid being seen entering the pawnshop from the main street.
The unique setting and some iconic features of a traditional pawnshop can still be seen inside the shop on the ground floor today. The main hall features a wooden “shy screen”(遮醜板), in an L-shape, blocking the view inside from the main door and side entrance to protect customers’ privacy. Behind the screen is a high counter that divides the front and back of the shop, where the pawnbroker serves customers. The height of the counter allows the pawnbroker to have a full view of the shop to ensure security. However, both the wooden screen and the finishes of the high counter are relatively new, following recent renovations carried out on the ground floor.
Security is a prime concern for this building, as evidenced by the verandahs on the upper floors, all of which are fitted with green metal grills to safeguard the pawnshop from burglars. Of particular interest are the coin motifs along the bottom of the metal grills, adding some decorative details to the functional design of the building.
The original built form of the building, including the footprint and the verandahs with their supporting columns, has been retained. Various renovations have been carried out over the years on both the exterior and interior of the building on the ground floor, such as the supporting columns and all the walls have been refurbished with new stone tiles and the floor has been laid with new modern tiles.
The changes seem to be mainly confined to the ground floor, whereas the exterior of the upper floors has remained intact. The only exception is that the figure “1940” that was previously painted on the roof parapet has now been removed. Overall, the building has been kept in a generally authentic condition in terms of its built form and original appearance. The building is an example of traditional pawnshop occupying an entire pre-war shophouse. The ground floor still opens for business, while the upper floors, which were previously used to store large pawned items, seem to be vacant. Pre-war shophouses that are entirely dedicated to a single pawnshop are becoming increasingly rare in Hong Kong as a result of urban development.
