Amazing architecture: the floating house from Ukraine

-
Image
  One of the strangest buildings, which has fascinated Internet users for decades, is located in Ucriana. The so-called floating house is located in Krasnosilka, Odessa region. It is originally a potato sorting station. The construction rests on a huge concrete block, but it is located on the side, not in the center, which makes the construction visually illogical and amazing. The builders made such a design to allow trucks to enter under the platform of the sorting station to be loaded automatically by opening hatches under the platform. Construction in the Odessa region is not unique. In the last years of the USSR several similar constructions were built, predominantly in Ukraine and Belarus. Because they have a wider "foot" and are clad in wood structure, they are not nearly as spectacular. In the floating house in Krasnosilka, the concrete foot has a color that at first sight is lost in the landscape, giving the impression that the house is levitating. Image from Belarus,...

An image (with pollution) is worth a thousand words: Leicester then and now

-
Image
   I am not sure that global warming is caused by pollution. (This is only 99.9% sure; there is still room for evidence.) But images like this one (Leicester 1950) think that it shouldn't give way to a discussion we need to behave responsibly, protect the environment, reduce pollution. Of course, developed States have a greater responsibility than the rest of the world, and the United States above all. But I remember a short visit to a Central European country many years ago, when I hit a truly apocalyptic landscape. The image of Leicester would have seemed brilliant in addition to the red fog there. Video: Residential districts of Leicester today, built on former industrial zones

A 2 thousand year old building and still functional

-
Image
  A building in Istanbul is so old that it has captured all the empires that have mastered this city. It's not just a simple — construction it's a veritable time capsule where history has laid layer upon layer over centuries. From Rome at present, in one wall At the base of the building you can see elements typical of the Roman Empire: thick stone walls and massive columns, reminiscent of the era when the city was called Byzantion and was part of the vast empire of Rome. Byzantine marks over the Roman ruins Immediately above it rises structures with elegant arches and specific details of Byzantine architecture. These elements were added in the period when the city became Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire and one of the most important centers of the medieval Christian world. New shape during Otoman Empire On the next level, masonry and style become more functional, reflecting the Ottoman period, when the city was conquered by the Turks in 1453 and transformed i...

Sighisoara - old town (one of last medieval cities inhabited in Europe - pictures)

-
Image
  Open: Sighisoara City street images from Sighisoara - the old town and the center of the fortress UNESCO monument of great importance, Sighisoara Fortress has benefited from funds for a quality restoration so that today it offers noted tourist services, especially on the side of accommodation and tourist attractions. The most interesting is to take accommodation in one of the small hotels in the citadel, usually decorated in the traditional Saxon style. Entertainment and culinary attractions are not exactly on the same level, events (on the entertainment side) sometimes have a kitsch air, and good food is hard to find. Many of the restaurants offer bad or ordinary food at unjustified prices, relying more on the location of the place than on the kitchen. source: Travel blog

Amazing images from the sky: Kartoffelraekkerne in Copenhagen

-
Image
  sources of images: Facebook and Instagram, via https://drivemagazine.ro/, https://kartoffelraekkerne.dk/ et al. Copenhagen's Quirky Charm: Soaring Over the "Field-of-Potatoes" Copenhagen is a city that beautifully blends modern design with its rich history. Beyond the sleek harbors and cutting-edge architecture, lies a charming district with a character all its own, often described as the “architecture field-of-potatoes.” Tucked between Øster Søgade and Øster Farimagsgade, this unique area offers a delightful, slightly chaotic visual experience when viewed from above. But what exactly gives this neighborhood its distinctive name and why is it so beloved? A Patchwork Quilt of History The “field-of-potatoes,” is not a derogatory term. It's a loving nod to the slightly haphazard, wonderfully varied collection of older buildings that dominate this section of the city. From an aerial perspective, these homes – each a unique size, shape, and design – sprawl out like potat...
