Very interesting, the New Gourna bulding, cacian. it looks likes a human beehive. I looked for images from the inside, but didn,t find any. They were probably forbidden.
Gorgeous opera house, Tailor!

Pablo Neruda´s Houses. I visited two of them years ago. They are works of art in themselves, even the place under the stairs was cluttered with interesting colorful objects. I didn´t visit Isla Negra.

Interesting concept, and roses!... the narrator mentioned Twickenham (my Mother's birthplace) but research shows no mention of the park in Twickenham, although Richmond is; perhaps nearby.

The Shard, England... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shard

[Danik 2016]

The Tower Of London

The Shard is impressive, but I wouldn´t like to live in an urban glass tower.

It reminded me of another tower, which, I see now, has become a big piece of business. (Well, at least the prison itself wasn´t turned into a dining room for 80 people :(.

That is your Church, I think, in the NL. Here you have the main Temple of São Paulo:

Ishtar Gate:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishtar_Gate

[tailor STATELY]

Sanchi... incredible ancient bas relief and other artwork.

Yes, the beautiful Temple in S.P. (its structure reminds me of my local temple)... a wonderful history I hadn't read before. I recall that one of our General Authorities, Elder Ulisses Soares, is from S.P. . As a convert late in life I've only attended two temples (though many times): receiving my endowments at the Oakland, California Temple in 2005, and attending the dedication at the Sacramento, California Temple (my current local temple) in 2006. I visited the Seattle, Washington Temple just after my Mother passed on, but it was closed at the time.

Ishtar Gate... exquisite artwork dating to a period of time with events important, coincidentally, to my faith:
King Nebuchadnezzar II reigned 604–562 BCE, the peak of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. He is known as the biblical conqueror who captured Jerusalem..

Jal Mandir... https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&safe=active&sxsrf=ALeKk00TkEzjnhcD-yJT-Cl92VyxkGxJXg:1601014286450&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=Jal+Mandir&client=opera&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjAqcv-0oPsAhVLmqQKHbRIAFgQ7Al6BAgIEG4&biw=1326&bih=665

There are several Mormon Temples in São Paulo, but I think this is the oldest one.

These old buildings are all wonderful in their grandiose conception and artistic details:

National Gallery of Modern Art, primarily @ Jaipur House, Rajpath, New Delhi, India... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Gallery_of_Modern_Art ; an interesting contrast to India's past.

Very interesting!I like the pink building

The Oca in Park Ibirapuera. Inspired by the round Indian habitations called "oca" and designed by Oskar Niemeyer

Staying on topic: Panteão da Pátria e da Liberdade Tancredo Neves (Pantheon of the Fatherland and Freedom)... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tancredo_Neves_Pantheon_of_the_Fatherland_and_Free dom

Wow! Yes, I must have shared Niemeyer buildings before, but I didn`t know or didn´t remember this one.

Qansuh al-Ghuri

Xerxes tomb is stunning with all it´s engravings. I´m glad they are restoring it.

A very different building: Yokohama City University (not sure whether I like it,but it is certainly a different concept).

Ziggurat of Ur... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIGOFlFoCLc

Beautiful... to have been free and live in classical Athens must have been wondrous.

Basilica at Pompeii... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrJJ1PjBV3k

[Danik 2016]

Yes. All these ancient buildings must have been built by slaves. I am fascinated by the story of Pompeii.

Now let´s visit a Harry Potter Scenario:Leadenhall Market

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadenhall_Market

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGVl8BaC96U

[Francis Meadows]

From one market to another: Marché du Midi in Brussels. Every Sunday, this is the place where fish traders from Ostend are selling shrimps next to men from the south selling oranges... Where Eurocrats come to find a specific ingredient they can not find anywhere else, and mingle with mothers of large families who come shopping for the week.

In the back is the lower part of Tour du Midi, long time the talest tower in Brussels. Behind is Gare du Midi, from where the Eurostars and TGV's leave for London, Paris, Lyon, ...

Leadenhall Market - Sort of an enclosed mall & bazaar all-in-one; pre-dating Columbus' accidental bump into the West Indies.

Marché du Midi - Interesting mix of rectangular prisms and outdoor markets.

Nakagin Capsule Tower, Tokyo, Japan... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakagin_Capsule_Tower

[Danik 2016]

The Brussels Markets remind me very much of the Brazilian Markets. The products are a bit different, maybe.

Nakagin Capsule Tower - A very original building, but I wouldn´t like to live in that kind of cabins. I love some room and a big window.

Forbidden City: Beyond Incredible

GM Building: odd... change the language attribute from nl to en in the address and you get the Cadillac Building... "For the downtown Detroit office tower, see Cadillac Tower. For the office tower in New York City, see General Motors Building (Manhattan)."
Anywho... the Manhatten Building is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_Building_(Manhattan) and was once owned by Harry Macklowe !!!

Kinkakuji Temple... incredible; its history includes a mad monk and gold leaf. I've been in love with Japanese gardens and design for most of my life, hence my poem Beneath the Dogwoods of May which was inspired by a poem by "breathtest" of LitNet of old (with a nod to the poets "hack" and "Hawkman", also of LitNet past/present... http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?52753-Inspired-by-breathtest- )
Lavelaer... how delightful !!!

Lavelaer- Very cute village.


Even if a fable fiction, it always strikes me like kind of Gaudi meets Saint Petersburg when walking through it.

The Price Tower - only Frank Lloyd Wright designed skyscraper ever realized: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_Tower

[Francis Meadows]

Double post. Sorry

[Danik 2016]

Olympic House, Vidy, Lausanne-Video not available here but found pics in the net. A impressive building, but it reminded me of the yet to be this year Japanese Olympics.
The Price Tower-interesting design.

Queen's Park, Maryborough (Australia)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen%27s_Park,_Maryborough (The band rotunda got me. Each Brazilian village has to have its own, with or without park).

Cool...
Wright nicknamed the Price Tower, which was built on the Oklahoma prairie, "the tree that escaped the crowded forest," referring not only to the building's construction, but also to the origins of its design. The Price Tower is supported by a central "trunk" of four elevator shafts which are anchored in place by a deep central foundation, as a tree is by its taproot. The nineteen floors of the building are cantilevered from this central core, like the branches of a tree. The outer walls hang from the floors and are clad in patinated copper "leaves." The building is asymmetrical, and like a tree, "looks different from every angle."... Wikipedia

Found some more pix of Queen's Park (while looking for the Fernery)... https://sunrisetoday.blog/2015/04/23/queens-park-at-maryborough/

Interesting. In Portuguese we have the word "curral" for stable. It seems to belong to the same linguistic family.

Lakhta... looked like a starship to me when I first saw it.

Matmata: Simple and utilitarian homes... I wonder if they're cooler than above ground homes. Soil must be nearly limestone in nature... perhaps "limed" exteriors and interiors ?
