The Natural History Museum in London is a natural history museum that exhibits a vast range of specimens from various segments of natural history. The museum is home to life and earth science specimens comprising some 80 million items within five main collections: botany, entomology, mineralogy, palaeontology and zoology. The museum is a centre of research specialising in taxonomy, identification and conservation. Given the age of the institution, many of the collections have great historical as well as scientific value, such as specimens collected by Charles Darwin. The museum is particularly famous for its exhibition of dinosaur skeletons and ornate architecture—sometimes dubbed a cathedral of nature—both exemplified by the large Diplodocus cast that dominated the vaulted central hall before it was replaced in 2017 with the skeleton of a blue whale hanging from the ceiling.

L'église d'Hérémence est une église atypique construite en béton. Une curiosité qui vaut le détour. L'intérieur est étonnant, avec des entrées de lumière naturelle qui mettent en relief les formes intérieures. Grand angle conseillé, si possible trépied car peu de lumière.
Hard to resist not to try it again while I'm there. The famous central hall of the London Natural History Museum.

Imposing architecture in the Natural History Museum London. Indeed it was not as empty as it seems on this picture. I spent some time on it in postproduction to get rid of a guy on the stairs and a green sign in the very middle, showing the way to an emergency exit. But cleaned up this way it looks much better.
Early Sunday morning at the Oculus transport hub in New York, before the crowds appear. This beautiful building, designed by the famous Santiago Calatrava, is located in the area of the former Twin Towers.

The Glasgow Museum of Transport Scotland was established in 1964 and initially located at a former tram depot in Pollokshields. In 1987 the museum was relocated to the city's Kelvin Hall, then moved to its current location in the Riverside Museum building at Glasgow Harbour in 2011. The museum houses the oldest surviving pedal cycle and the world's leading collection of Scottish-built cars and trucks and makes a great day out if visiting Glasgow.

The Dancing House, or Fred and Ginger, is the nickname given to the Nationale-Nederlanden building on the Rašín Embankment in Prague, Czech Republic. It was designed by the Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić in cooperation with Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry on a vacant riverfront plot. The building was designed in 1992 and completed in 1996. The very non-traditional design was controversial at the time because the house stands out among the Baroque, Gothic and Art Nouveau buildings for which Prague is famous, and in the opinion of some it does not accord well with these architectural styles. The then Czech president, Václav Havel, who lived for decades next to the site, had avidly supported this project, hoping that the building would become a center of cultural activity. Gehry originally named the house Fred and Ginger (after the famous dancers Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers – the house resembles a pair of dancers) but this nickname is now rarely used; moreover, Gehry himself was later "afraid to import American Hollywood kitsch to Prague", and thus discarded his own idea.

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
