The Westhafen Tower is a striking modern skyscraper located in Frankfurt, Germany.
Completed in 2004, it stands 109.8 meters tall with 30 floors. Its most iconic feature is the cylindrical design, covered with a green-tinted, diamond-shaped glass facade, often referred to as "the Geripptes" for its resemblance to a traditional Frankfurt apple wine glass.
Positioned near the Main River, the tower is primarily used for office spaces and is a prominent part of the city's skyline, blending contemporary architecture with its vibrant surroundings.
Standing well back from the street on a very large block, this impressive Reformist (Arts and Crafts) style mansion would have been built in the first decade after Australian Federation in 1901.
The wonderful central gable is capped by a hipped roof treatment, an architectural feature which is very Arts and Crafts inspired, as is the choice of a plain rough cast stuccoed rendering on the walls with minimal detailing by way of a few select picked out feature bricks. This villa has no stained glass in any of its windows.
Arts and Crafts houses challenged the formality of the mid and high Victorian styles that preceded it, and were often designed with uniquely angular floor plans. This villa appears to be no exception to the rule, with the main entrance to the house out of the photograph to the right hand side of the building.
This style of house would have appealed to the moneyed upper-classes of Ballarat whose money came from either the Nineteenth Century gold rush, or from the wool or farming industries that developed post the boom. Comfortable and very English, it would have shown respectablity and not inconsiderable wealth.
Located on Ballarat’s Doveton Street, the former Lutheran Church was built in 1876 to the grand designs of local Ballarat architect C. D. Figgis and was constructed by Taylor & Ellis.
The church building is architecturally quite striking with a formal composition with elements of a Ruskinian Italian Gothic style. It features with banded brick arches, Lombardic motifs and an attenuated version of a stepped arcaded corbel table leading to the central tower. The tall blind arcading of the tower is similar to the Campanile at Venice. The tower has an arcaded corbel table with trefoil arches, above which is a parapet with quatrefoil openings surmounted by a slate clad pyramidal roof. The lower part of the building consists of more conventional elements. There are two occuli in the gable ends flanking the tower and the banded Gothic openings have nail head brick label moulds. At the base of the tower there are two entrance doors under a Gothic banded arch surrounded by cream brick nail head moulding, and an outer Scotia label mould; these continue down to a low impost height and return horizontally as a string course across the facade. Banded Gothic openings and a patterned string course at low impost height lightens the heaviness of the red brickwork. The side elevation has the same nail head and Scotia string course at impost level rising up as stilted segmental arches over the double lancet windows in each of the five bays. The combination of unusual elements in patterned relief brickwork, and the imposing superimposed Venetian Campanile combine to make this a unique church composition.

Although not famous for its Art Deco architecture, the provincial Victorian city of Ballarat, which was established between the 1860s and 1880s when the area was at the centre of a gold rush, does have some fine examples of interwar and post war architecture when the gold boom was replaced with wealth generated through grazing and agriculture.
During the 1920s and 1930s, those people thriving from farming or local industry had plenty to spend in local shops. This wonderful Art Deco facade (circa 1925 - 1930) belongs to the PPL Building in Ballarat's main shopping thoroughfare, Sturt Street. Whilst the street level may have fallen victim to the changes in marketing, the upper floors remain unchanged by fickle owners. It still retains its striking minimalist Art Deco design. It features the building's name in a rounded cartouche on the building's corner facade which overlooks Albert Street. The PPL Building has a stylised stepped roofline, long spandrels with rounded edging and glass brick windows, all of which were popular architectural features of the Art Deco movement in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The rounded edges are very representative of the Streamline Moderne movement, and the building is everything a smart and successful business would want in the booming interwar years in Australia.

Designed by local architectural firm Terry and Oakden, the former Wesleyan Church of Ballarat was constructed between 1883 and 1884. Built on the corner of Lydiard and Dana Streets, on the crest of a steep hill, the former Wesleyan Church is architecturally significant as an important and essentially intact example of the work of the prominent firm of architects Terry and Oakden.
The Gothic design of the former Wesleyan Church, which skilfully handles a difficult site, is important as a striking example of polychromatic brickwork. The elongated windows of the former Wesleyan Church, with geometric tracery, are also of significance for their notched brickwork diaper patterns, together with the horizontal wall banding the lozenge motifs.
The buildings are of historical significance as a symbol of faith and identity of the Wesleyan community in Ballarat, which was, at the time of construction, was one of the wealthiest cities in Victoria, indeed Australia, at the time.
The buildings are significant in their ability to indicate the aspirations and values of Wesleyans in the colony in the Nineteenth Century. Whilst Wesleyans typically constructed austere chapels, it is probable that this elaborate church at Ballarat was intended to be a symbol of the faith of Ballarat Wesleyans.

Whee doggy, it was a solid evening and a good morning for drop shots. Rain in the evening. Mist early in the morning. Gray, bleak, dreary -- a perfect time to run out, get damp, and snap some droplet shots.
Though, yet again, the neighbors surely wonder what the heck I'm up to.
True story: the other day, I was out there taking shots, and the (newish) neighbors had their children out there, and when I appeared, they quickly ushered them inside, like I was some kind of tiger shark entering the perimeter (or, more likely, they feared I was some kind of pre-vert, when really, I'm just some macro-obsessed weirdo).
Good times.
I'll be bouncing around photostreams while I have a free moment, today.
Situated at 25 to 29 Barkly Street in the Victorian provincial city of Ballarat, the former East Ballarat Free Library is to this day, still an imposing building. When it was built in 1867, it must have been even more imposing, as it would have been one of only a few permanent structures in the area, which was filled with tents as the are was hit by goldmining fever.
The East Ballarat Free Library is not only imposing, but has an unusual design using polychromatic brickwork to define separate highly individual elements of the facade, rather like much of the Methodist Church architecture built during slightly later periods. The library is the only known work of the architect C. Ohlfsen Bagge, and dates from 1867. At that date it represents an early use of coloured brick-work in Victoria. The building is of architectural importance as an early example of the polychromatic Gothic Revival style which survives substantially intact with a number of fine interiors including the spiral staircase, the original library, the hall and the pine-lined rear rooms. The construction of the front section of the Barkly Street was completed in 1869. C. Ohlfsen-Bagge acted as honorary architect and the interior design and supervision as carried out by J. J. Lorenz. The builders were Boulton and Fyfe and the interiors were completed by Fly Brothers.
Established in 1862 the East Ballarat Free Library was amongst the earliest of Ballarat's social and educational institutions and when housed in its own building in Barkly Street, the library built up an outstanding collection which was second in Australia only to the State Library of Victoria . It served as a focal point for educational purposes; the school of design founded there in 1870 advancing to become the Ballarat East branch of the school of mines in the 1900s. The library was officially closed in 1973 after a life of 111 years. The books were taken to the Camp Street Library and the Ballarat Historical Society's exhibits were moved from Camp St to the Old Ballarat East Library. In 1980 the Ballarat School of Mines Council presented a proposal to the Ballarat City Council regarding occupying and managing the East Ballarat Free Library as a School of Traditional Crafts. The proposal included maintaining the building in optimum condition. In 1983, land formally occupied by the East Ballarat Free Library in Barkly St was gazetted as a reserve for educational purposes and allocated to the Ballarat School of Mines. In 1987 the former East Ballarat Library reopened after extensive renovations and repairs, as the Management Training Centre of the Ballarat School of Mines.

These pretty peep windows feature on a Metroland Art Deco Villa in the Ballarat suburb of Wendouree.
Well proportioned, this small stand alone villa was biscuit coloured when previously photographed and unoccupied. In the ensuing months, the stuccoed brick walls have received a fresh coat of white paint. Sadly, this has covered the feature band of red and brown bricks around the foundations of the building which matches its neighbour. The picked out feature bricks around the chimney breast and above the windows to either side of the chimney have also been covered.
This style of home was one that aspirational middle-class families in the 1920s saught. Cottage like in style, it is not too showy, yet represented the comfort and modernity that the burgeoning Australian middle-class wanted. Adding to its cottage like appearance, it features latticed leadlight windows.
Fragment of a border, early 19th century. Black silk embroidery on white cotton in buttonhole and running stitches. 12.5x41 cm.
This block of Art Deco flats in East Melbourne has a wonderful entranceway with geometric Jazz Age designs around its stairwell windows. The stairwell area itself with its stepped roofline has been made an architectural feature as it stands out from the rest of the block's facade. This block of flats is typical of the Art Deco architecture that came out of England after the war. They are as chic today as when they were first built in the 20s or early 30s.
An abstract architectural study focusing on the repetition of form and the intensity of color. This tight crop isolates a series of leaf-like or flame-shaped cutouts in a dark metallic surface, illuminated from within by a powerful, saturated red glow. The diagonal orientation of the cutouts creates a sense of movement and energy, while the subtle highlights on the edges of the metal provide a sense of three-dimensional depth.
A close-up shot captures the intricate play of light and shadow on a weathered, grey-painted wooden door with classic raised panels. Diagonal shadows, likely cast by a nearby lattice or window frame, slice across the surface, creating a dynamic geometric pattern that contrasts with the door's formal, symmetrical design. The muted color palette and soft, directional lighting evoke a quiet, contemplative mood, highlighting the texture of the paint and the subtle imperfections of age.

The rounded edges are very representative of the Streamline Moderne movement, and the building is everything a smart and successful business would want in the booming interwar years in Australia.

Ballarat is a provincial Victorian town established during the Australian Gold Rush. For many years it was an extremly prosperous town which demonstrated its wealth through architecture on a grand scale. As a result, there are buildings and public infrastructure from different decades and even different centuries right alongside one another. Although not famous for its Art Deco architecture, the city does have some fine examples of interwar and post war architecture when the gold boom was replaced with wealth generated through grazing and agriculture.
This wonderful Art Deco facade (circa 1930) with geometric designs and minimalist detailing belongs to a shop built in Ballarat's main shopping thoroughfare, Sturt Street. Sadly, years of weathering and neglect have left it marked, cracked and decaying.
