Part of the A-Bomb Dome (Genbaku Dome), the only structure left standing after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on the 6th of August 1945. Easily one of the most impressive war memorials I have visited.

Portrait of an elderly Buddhist monk smiling warmly inside his small temple cell in Yangon, Myanmar. His deeply lined face, missing teeth, and long white eyebrows reflect wisdom, faith, and humility. Behind him, a Buddha statue and colorful mosaic tiles form a shimmering backdrop that evokes the spirit of Buddhism. Captured on Kodak Portra 160 35mm film, this analog portrait conveys serenity, dignity, and the quiet beauty of monastic life.

Black and white image of Singapore’s iconic Marina Bay Sands hotel seen through a rain-streaked window. Raindrops soften the bold modern architecture and sleek towers, revealing the skyline’s geometric beauty, symmetry, and quiet urban minimalism and giving the building an almost organic fragility.

Today's #Windowfriday photo comes from Rotterdam. Reflected is the Pelgrim Fathers’ Church, from where the Pilgrim Fathers set sail for England in 1620 before sailing to the New World.

#FensterFreitag #history #architecture #rotterdam #church
Reflection of the historic Pelgrim Fathers’ Church (Pelgrimvaderskerk) in a weathered window in Rotterdam’s Delfshaven district. The church’s red-brick façade and white-trimmed windows appear framed within the glass panes, with faint details of nearby buildings and blue sky adding depth to the mirrored scene. The aged white window frame shows peeling paint and texture, enhancing the sense of history and timelessness
