St. John's Gate

Quebec City. April 2026.

#doorsday #monochrome #blackandwhite #quebeccity #quebec #architecture #photography

Black and white photograph of a pedestrian gate in a stone wall, part of the fortifications of Quebec City. On the left is the larger gate for vehicles, and on the right is the wall itself with a commemorative plaque. Through the gates, St-Jean Street is visible, lined with historic buildings, parked vehicles, and numerous pedestrians. Small patches of dirty snow melt at the curb, wetting the cobblestones and asphalt.

Photographie noir et blanc d'une porte pour piétons dans un mur de pierres faisant partie des fortifications de la ville de Québec, avec à gauche la plus grande porte pour les véhicules et à droite le mur lui-même avec une plaque commémorative. À travers les portes, la rue St-Jean avec ses bâtiments anciens, des véhicules stationnés et de nombreux piétons sur la rue. De petits bancs de neige sale fondent en bordure de rue et mouillent les surfaces de pavé et d'asphalte.

Eaton Centre, Montreal

#architecture #light #montreal #photography

Photograph of a golden sand-colored ceiling formed by panels creating four inverted, somewhat flared pyramids, whose apexes are offset from their center, and whose edges are illuminated by neon or LED lights. The combination with other beams creates plays of light and color on the surfaces.

Photographie d'un plafond de couleur sable doré formé de panneaux créant quatre pyramides inversées, assez évasées, dont les sommets sont décalés par rapport à leur centre, et dont les arêtes sont illuminées par des lumières de style néon ou DEL. La combinaison avec d'Autres faisceaux crééent des jeux de lumière et de couleurs sur les surfaces.

The ceiling of the Jalil Khayat Mosque, Arbil, Iraq

The interior showcases intricate designs, vibrant patterns in red, orange, and blue that adorn the walls and ceilings. A vibrant, large chandelier hangs from the center, illuminating the detailed artwork of the grand central dome and surrounding semi-domes and arches.

The modern world, the modern city. Buildings reach for the sky with the ubiquitous chain restaurant anchoring the foundation.

How Many Workers Built a Medieval Cathedral?

How many workers did it really take to build a medieval cathedral? Evidence from Girona Cathedral suggests the answer was far fewer than most people would imagine.

Illuminati HQ

https://justin-farrimond.pixels.com/featured/illuminati-hq-justin-farrimond.html

Time owns no fixed point in space. This building, in this point of time, is an Illuminati HQ.
A bank, a brothel, a gentlemen's club, a rendition basement and a gallery space - all occupy this grid in Northern England.

The joy of repetition 🔁

Back to one of my favourite abandoned buildings to photograph in Leicester yesterday.

Shot from the roof of the equally hideous Lee Circle car park. A Brutalist empire that some even refer to as a tourist attraction 🤣 If you love the smell of piss, it comes highly recommended 🤢

Whenever I see the three doors in a row on W.M. Whyte's 1885 tenements on Queen's Drive in Glasgow, I'm always reminded of the Monty Hall Problem. Based on the US game show Let's Make a Deal, this problem shows how poor the intuitive human understanding of probabilities actually is.

Beauty In Simplicity

I love the simplicity of this small stone building on the Isle of Iona, Scotland. Not sure of its purpose but it's easy to find between the nunnery ruins and the village hall.

A vibrant yellow house stands out with its wooden door and dark window, framed by the delicate pink blossoms of a tree in full bloom. The juxtaposition of the bright facade with the soft flowers creates a cheerful and inviting scene in Snoqualmie, Washington.

Visited the historic Northwest Railway Museum, built in 1890 and looked charming in Spring settings.
Snoqualmie, WA

The charming Northwest Railway Museum (NRM) built in 1890 is nestled under the blooming branches of a cherry blossom tree, with soft pink flowers contrasting against the rustic, vintage architecture in Snoqualmie, Washington.
It is the oldest continuously operating train station in the state of Washington and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
Today tourists can take the train from the Depot to the top of Snoqualmie Falls, then to North Bend and back. A new period-appropriate (and very ornate) cedar shingle roof was completed in 2024.

Theatre DeVille

The Theatre DeVille is a nightclub in Vacaville, California. The venue went through a major renovation where the new owners sunk a large amount of money into a state of the art sound system.
The building located has been occupied by a number of tenants including a theatre and a church just to name a few. The renovation to it's new form took a good part of a year.

RE: https://exquisite.social/@EricBono/116212653945182368

OP's link takes you to a an article about a rather interesting new architectural project in Brasilia, Brazil, developing an entire block for a world trade centre that takes a... okay I have _opinions_ about Brasilia, and they aren't positive, but this seems to be... better.

Anyway, if you're into modern ecodesign, it's interesting. Encouraging, even.
