Exterior of a modern office building

nobody@flickr.com (Elisabeth0320) — Sun, 15 May 2011 03:55:36 -0700

A lot of people wonder why I take so many architectural shots, I've taken the time to write down why I'm so fascinated by architecture. Although I'm not a writer nor a talker ;-)
What attracts me to take a picture of a building is the fact that we live in them, we work in them and most of us sleep in them.
Architecture "can" make a city beautiful and functional. The team work, passion, effort and stress behind the project

Unfortunately in Luxembourg I'm often prohibited by security guards to photograph the "exterior" of public EU buildings or regular office buildings while I'm on the sidewalk !?!
I usually ask the guards what law prohibit photographing a building, they are always silent ...

This picture is taken through the window glass on the first floor of the Court of Justice of the European Union using a fluorescent white balance. The Court of Justice didn't had any issues to photograph the building ;-)
Architect Dominique Perrault, construction 1996-2008

Castle Bock Ruin

nobody@flickr.com (Elisabeth0320) — Sun, 22 Jul 2012 02:40:03 -0700

Elisabeth0320 posted a photo:

In 963 Count Siegfried acquired a small castle on the "Bock” rock which was to become the birthplace of the city [and country] of Luxembourg.
Over the centuries, the Bock and the surrounding defences were reinforced, attacked and rebuilt time and time again.

Hardly surprising then that the fortifications and the historic Old Town enjoy an international reputation.
In 1994, they were included on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

at the left: the "Hollow Tooth" ruin, part of the old castle "Bock" with canon loopholes.

"The Knight Brewery" - "Browery De Ridder"

nobody@flickr.com (Elisabeth0320) — Wed, 30 May 2012 01:37:02 -0700

Elisabeth0320 posted a photo:

Brewery De Ridder is a former brewery in Maastricht, (Netherlands).
The town brewery was situated in "Wyck" in the eastern city center.
For decades, the brewery lager brewed "Ridder Pils" (Pils Knight), and since the 80's of the 20th century also the"Wieckse White" wheat beer. The acquisition of the brewery by beer giant Heineken, and the success of the wheat beer, have led that the production has been transferred to other locations and the brewery on the banks of the Meuse is now empty.
Redevelopment plans are in make for this monumental building.

Banque et Caisse d'Epargne de l'Etat, also known as the BCEE, is French for the State Savings Bank.
The BCEE was created in 1856 and is the oldest bank in Luxembourg.
This impressive building was constructed from 1909 to 1913. Once the headquarters of the bank, it now is home to the bank's museum.
The bank's tower is one of the most noticeable landmarks in the city and can be seen from many locations.

The medieval town core with St Michael's Church, once the castle chapel.
On the right hand "The Pont du château" (=Castle's Bridge), a rather curious structure. it provides no less than four ways of crossing between the cliffs: the road over the top, a passage by way of the four upper arches, a spiral staircase up through the main arch and a tunnel under the road at the bottom.
