Reflection of a nearby building in the glazed facade of an office block on The Bourse, Leeds. This is unedited except for cropping and is basically as taken.
The buildings of Bordeaux's Place de la Bourse reflected in the Miroir d'Eau as the sun goes down over the city.
The Place de la Bourse is the centuries-old heart of old Bordeaux, with grand buildings linking the riverside with the old city.
The riverside square was renovated in the 18th century by architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel, with the majestic old stock exchange and the Hotel des Fermes flanking the open space around the 1864 Fontaine des Trois-Graces.
In more recent years, the square has seen the city's modern tram network run through its heart, while the Miroir d'Eau, a spectacular flat water feature which intermittently reflects the city and sprays mist in which children of all ages play in, is a popular new attraction busy throughout the day.
This photo goes back to my 2012 trip to Leeds. The entryway to a shopping complex is fronted by mirrored strips that relfect the nearby buildings in parallel vertical views.

instagram.com/penna.etc: Beautiful. Love the keystone!
emmjaydoubleu: Very neat perspective! 👍
When I was still unable to drive due to my arm injury some friends kindly took us to Leeds. These were taken around the city. This must be the old stock exchange.

The Bourse does not have the brazenness of the Town Hall or the City Library, it does not audaciously stand on a major street, waiting for its inevitable plaudits. Instead, this building is well ensconced, shyly peeking out onto Boar Lane.
With the appearance of a colossal wall of magic mirrors, it is highlighted beautifully with fairy lights, held aloft by manicured box trees.

We didn't have a lot of time in Brussels on our vacation...we took a walking tour, which definitely was not a photo tour...and I didn't have time to get back to any locations for better pictures....but I like the shapes and clouds in this, thanks to the art filter on the camera. Have a great Wednesday.
p.s. Clem was moved from ICU to the cat ward yesterday afternoon...the surgeon said things look good and that he is healing well. He still isn't eating much...hopefully he ate overnight when nobody was looking and can come home today.

The Bourse, at 111 South Independence Mall East, was built from 1893-95 by the Hewitt Brothers. Brought to Philadelphia in 1890 by George E. Bartol, a prosperous Philadelphia grain and commodities exporter, the Bourse literally means a place of exchange. It was in the country's first commodities exchange, and the first in the world to house simultaneously a stock exchange, maritime exchange, and grain-trading center.
Bartol based the concept on the great Bourse in Hamburg, Germany. In 1891, The Philadelphia Bourse Corporation was formed, with each member subscribing $1,000 to the project, by an issue of stock and mortgage. The Bourse motto was “buy, sell, ship via Philadelphia”.
The building was one of the first steel-framed buildings to be constructed. Three types of masonry were used on the facade: Carlisle redstone, Pompeian buff brick and terra cotta. Inside were large columns and pilasters leading to a balcony surrounding the main floor. Bow-top girders were used to support a skylight at the third floor.
The original tenants included the American Telephone and Telegraphy, Moore and McCormick Steamships lines, grain dealers and export agents. The Bourse was also home to the Commercial Exchange, the Maritime Exchange, Grocers and Importers Exchange and the Board of Trade.
Quotations from all markets of the world and the latest financial news were received by telegraph. Pneumatic tubes connected the Bourse directly with the United States Post Office. A trading clock signaled the end of every business day.
Kaiserman Company, Inc. purchased The Philadelphia Bourse Building in 1979, renaming it “The Bourse” and adapting it as a retail and office complex. The restoration took three years to complete at a cost of $20 million, twenty times greater than the original construction cost. Today, it is one of Philadelphia’s leading commercial complexes, home to 27 retail and food service stores and more than 35 businesses.
Independence National Historical Park preserves several sites associated with the American Revolution. Administered by the National Park Service, the 45-acre park was authorized in 1948, and established on July 4, 1956.

A History of The Bourse
The concept of the Bourse – meaning a place of exchange – was brought to Philadelphia in 1890 by George E. Bartol, a prosperous Philadelphia grain and commodities exporter. While in Europe, Bartol visited the great Bourse in Hamburg, Germany. Upon his return to the United States, Bartol called together the most influential businessmen and merchants in the city, asking them to pool their resources to construct the city’s own business center – a Philadelphia Bourse.
In 1891, The Philadelphia Bourse Corporation was formed, with each member subscribing $1,000 to the project, by an issue of stock and mortgage. The Bourse motto was “buy, sell, ship via Philadelphia”.
The Philadelphia Bourse Building, the first commodities exchange in the United States, was completed in 1895. The building was one of the first steel-framed buildings to be constructed. Three types of masonry were used on the facade: Carlisle redstone, Pompeian buff brick and terra cotta. Inside were large columns and pilasters leading to a balcony surrounding the main floor. Bow-top girders were used to support a skylight at the third floor.
The original tenants included the American Telephone and Telegraphy, Moore and McCormick Steamships lines, grain dealers and export agents. The Bourse was also home to the Commercial Exchange, the Maritime Exchange, Grocers and Importers Exchange and the Board of Trade.
Quotations from all markets of the world and the latest financial news were received by telegraph. Pneumatic tubes connected the Bourse directly with the United States Post Office. A trading clock signaled the end of every business day.
Kaiserman Company, Inc. purchased The Philadelphia Bourse Building in 1979, renaming it “The Bourse” and adapting it as a retail and office complex. The restoration took three years to complete at a cost of $20 million, twenty times greater than the original construction cost.
Celebrating over 100 years as a center for commerce and trade, The Bourse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, it is one of Philadelphia’s leading commercial complexes, home to 24 retail and food service stores and more than 50 businesses

Originally built as a commodities exchange in the years 1893-95, the Bourse has since been owned by several corporations and presently is under restoration to its original glory with a food hall on the main floor and nine floors of office space. The architectural style is Beaux Arts and it's listed in the National Record of Historical Places. It's a wonderful building.

This is a four-light mullioned window from the Bourse (Børsen) located on the Slotsholmen in København. It was commissioned by Christian IV and built between 1619 and 1640. The first architect involved was Laurens Steenwinckel who died in 1619, when he was suceeded by his brother, Hans, Chief Architect to the King. The contract with the stonemason of 1619 mentions window ornaments with pediments, architraves and mouldings with 'thermae' (herms) which divide the facade, as seen here. The construction is brick on a stone plinth with sandstone dressings and the entire building is two storeys high. The main (north) front is symmetrical in design with nine gables, the centre one being given emphasis by its greater width. Both this front and the one to the south have twenty identical doorways to storerooms. Each door is round-headed supporting a two-light window above, crowned by a pediment containing a carved head. Between the doors at ground level are four-light windows - as seen here - with similar pediments to those over the doorways. The nine gables contain a pair of windows with round heads, one over the other. The elevations are divided by string courses, entablatures and richly-carved herms. Building began in 1620 and had reached the roof by 1623 which was leaded in 1624. A statue of Neptune placed on the west gable in the same year. Minor embellishments continued up to 1640.
This is the spire of the Bourse (Børsen) located on the Slotsholmen in København. It was commissioned by Christian IV and built between 1619 and 1625. The first architect involved was Laurens Steenwinckel who died in 1619 when he was suceeded by his brother, Hans, Chief Architect to the King. The contract with the stone mason was agreed on 4 May 1619. The spire dates from 1625 when Ludvig Heidenritter, its designer, was paid for 'Four Dragons' and Anders Nielsen for '3 crowns, 3 balls and 1 flag he has gilded with his own gold and fixed on the Bourse'. The dragons, made of lead and whose tails are twisted together to form a diminishing spiral, have been linked to firework dragons, and, alternatively, to emblems associated with the king. They were recast by Bøje Junge in 1775-76.

The spire on the Bourse (Børsen) in København. The Bourse is located on the Slotsholmen. It was commissioned by Christian IV and built between 1619 and 1625 on a specially constructed mound and never had cellars as a result.

Thomas Ambler (1838-1920) lived and worked in Leeds and designed many other buildings including the surviving Grade 2 listed buildings on the south side of Boar Lane, St James's Hall in New York Street, and the Grade 2 listed Moorish factory (now offices) of St Paul's House in Park Square, Leeds.
