I'll take it. Wrap it up for me.
Wrap what up, sir?
You know, the building. I'll take it.
But sir, it's a building. And it's not for sale.
You're not listening. I want it. I'm taking it.
You're not from around here, are you?
No, I'm from Jersey. Why?
This building is a beloved art deco icon.
Yeah? So?
So I suggest you walk out quietly. While you can.
Oh do you?
A few of my friends will be right behind you.
Right. I see your point. It should stay here. But I'll come back and visit, ok?
Please do. And be careful out there. This is Detroit.
Yeah?
Yeah, not Jersey.

The Shine Dome, Canberra

ÀCanberra landmark since its construction in 1959, the Shine Dome has received numerous awards and is one of seven projects the Royal Australian Institute of Architects has nominated to the World Register of Significant Twentieth Century Architecture.
Many people think of Sydney as Australia’s Capital, but it is not. The capital is Canberra, a small, purpose designed and built city in the Australian Capital Territory. It is inland, in the lower levels of the Snowy Mountain Range, with a population of around 400,000. With embassies, the head departments of all government agencies, and federal Parliament House, it is a city with lots af cultural and artistic facilities. I have lived here for only 6 years, but have become a real lover of it.
Happy Sunday, everyone.

Mecklenburg-Foto (Reinhard L.) has posted:

Stortorget bedeutet "Hauptplatz" oder "Großer Platz". Er gilt als schönster und historisch bedeutsamer Platz von Stockholm.
Hier wurden Märkte veranstaltet und "er war auch Schauplatz einiger der dramatischsten Ereignisse in der schwedischen Geschichte" (go2stockholm.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten/stortorget ).
Der Brunnen diente in der Vergangenheit der Bevölkerung zur Wasserversorgung.

France - Abbey of Saint-Riquier

nobody@ipernity.com (Jaap van 't Veen) — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 07:06:17 +0000

Jaap van 't Veen has posted:

The Abbey of Saint-Riquier was founded around 625 and later came under royal protection with King Dagobert I. In 790 it became a major center of the Carolingian Empire when Charlemagne appointed his close friend, Angilbert, as abbot.

At the end of the 9th century, the abbey was destroyed by Norman invaders. Over the centuries, it suffered more than fifteen pillages and devastations. Yet, always rebuilt and enriched, the abbey remained an important religious and theological center.

After the Revolution, the convent buildings were for a time turned into quarries, then later housed hospitals or seminaries. The entire site was purchased in 1972 by the Department of the Somme and became a cultural center.

The church reveals a stylistic diversity, featuring elements of early, classical, and flamboyant gothic. The 15th-century façade - richly sculpted - is dominated by a central tower rising to 50 meters.

Edna, darling, I have something to tell you.
Yes, Stanley?
I'm concerned about our investments.
Really? Should I be worried?
Well, as you may have heard, the economy is a bit. . . rocky at the moment. Actually, it's a little out of control and scary.
Oh dear! But that won't affect our holiday cruise to the islands, will it?
Well, we may have to stick to the Caymans and West Indies, I'm afraid.
And miss South America? How will I break it to the servants in Rio and Buenos Aires?
We must all make sacrifices, my dear. I hate to do it, but, regrettably, I'm letting them go.
You are such a benevolent man, Stanley.
I try, Edna.
