View of the Paul Löbe House on the banks of the Spree and the Reichstag building in Berlin. Both buildings are located in Berlin's government district. The Reichstag building has been the seat of the German Bundestag since 1999. The Paul Löbe House is a functional building of the German Bundestag and named after Paul Löbe, President of the Reichstag and former President of the first German Bundestag.
Pigadia, the major port and capital of Karpathos, is not exactly beautiful. The architecture is mixed. Most buildings are modern cubes with balconies and straight lines, not ostentatious but functional, but some houses - like this one - are built in an eclectic style with local colors in traditional international elements and are quite beautiful with arches and balusters.
Staying here is enjoyable, as there are no cars in the city center, and you can eat a variety of dishes, from local cuisine to pizza, Chinese, Mexican and other international food.

Please have a look at my albums:
… all that is left of the defunct Petite Ceinture line. This is the derelict part of the station. The rest is fully functional for all local lines terminating in Paris Saint-Lazare.

View from the Sedrun multi functional station inside the Gotthard base tunnel.
The exit of the tunnel in this direction is 20 km away, in the other direction it is even 37 km away.
By chance I had the opportunity to visit the tunnel through the SBB gottardino program. Once the tunnel goes into full operation in December 2016, it will no longer be possible for the public to have such a close look.

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.
Still fine tuning my new camera.
I am liking it more and more as I am learning about the new and improved functionalities!
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.

La maison en dessous de l'image est le musée Guido Gezelle, poète flamand du 19ème siècle, fait partie des figures majeures de la littérature belge. Étudiant au grand séminaire de Bruges, il est ordonné prêtre et enseigne aux étudiants. Le flamand n’est pas une langue considérée comme noble et pourtant le jeune professeur commence à écrire ses premiers vers en néerlandais. Pour avoir défendu les plus faibles, ses supérieurs lui imposent une des paroisses les plus pauvres de la région. Il retourne finalement à Bruges en 1889 ou il y reste jusqu’à sa mort dix années plus tard.
Reconnu de son vivant pour la qualité de ses poésie, Guido Gezelle a cumulé les honneurs à partir de 1886. En 2012, la ville de Bruges l’a déclaré plus grand héros de Bruges et sa maison natale est transformée en musée depuis 1926.
Le musée Guido Gezelle (Gezellemuseum), situé à l’Est de la ville non loin d’un moulin au sein d’un quartier populaire et tranquille est complété d’un jardin romantique ou on imagine très bien le poète travaillant à l’ombre des grands arbres. La maison qui accueille le musée est une batisse rustique et fonctionnelle du 16ème siècle. Le père du poète y travaillait comme jardinier pour le compte d’un important commerçant de la ville. Guido y a donc vécu de nombreuses années et la nature, thème cher à ses écrits a certainement été inspiré par le jardin attenant.
The house below the image is the museum Guido Gezelle, Flemish poet of the 19th century, is one of the major figures of Belgian literature. A student at the major seminary in Bruges, he was ordained a priest and taught students. Flemish is not a language considered noble and yet the young teacher begins to write his first verses in Dutch. For having defended the weakest, his superiors imposed on him one of the poorest parishes in the region. He finally returned to Bruges in 1889 where he remained until his death ten years later.
Recognized during his lifetime for the quality of his poetry, Guido Gezelle accumulated honors from 1886. In 2012, the city of Bruges declared him the greatest hero of Bruges and his birthplace has been transformed into a museum since 1926.
The Guido Gezelle Museum (Gezellemuseum), located to the east of the city not far from a mill in a popular and quiet area, is complemented by a romantic garden where you can easily imagine the poet working in the shade. tall trees. The house that hosts the museum is a rustic and functional building from the 16th century. The poet's father worked there as a gardener for an important merchant in the city. Guido therefore lived there for many years and nature, a theme dear to his writings, was certainly inspired by the adjoining garden.
This image captures the striking beauty of an aged wooden door in Palermo, steeped in history and character. The door's weathered surface bears the marks of time, with peeling paint, cracks, and patina that hint at decades, if not centuries, of use. Intricately carved details at the top of the frame suggest a touch of Baroque influence, characteristic of Palermo's rich architectural heritage. A faint emblem or crest is still visible above the doorway, though it has faded with time, likely representing the historical or familial significance of the building.
To the left of the door, mismatched wooden planks reinforce the structure, a testament to a pragmatic yet artistic approach to preservation. The lock and metal handle are robust and functional, contrasting with the delicate craftsmanship of the frame. These elements tell a story of a building that has served both practical and aesthetic purposes. A splash of orange on the left adds a contemporary touch, possibly from a modern repair or addition.
Surrounding the door, the textured stone and marble facade hint at a building of importance, blending materials and styles that reflect the eclectic influences in Palermo's architecture. The sunlight illuminates the scene, accentuating the textures and tones, from the warm wooden hues to the cool marble details. This doorway is not just an entrance but a gateway into the layered history of Palermo, inviting the viewer to imagine the stories it could tell.

One of London's most recognisable sights, familiar from dozens of movies. Its Neo-Gothic towers and sky-blue suspension struts add extraordinary elegance to what is a supremely functional structure. London was a thriving port in 1894 when it was built as a much-needed crossing point in the east, equipped with a then-revolutionary stream-driven bascule mechanism that could raise the roadway to make way for oncoming ships in just three minutes!

This is one image in a series on the city at night–––the magic and lure of its lights, the mix of architectural styles, the resulting dynamic when framed with a portion of the purely functional parking decks which served as my shooting platform. In the end though, it is the light that drives these images, providing the visual magic and lure that is a city at night. To see more in the CITY LIGHTS series, check out my City Lights Album
