my entry for buildingfriday.... wasnt a easy choice today, i like buildings ... and ofcourse i thought about a fort !! :-))
but then i remember this one from our last vacation in France ... the "Janus temple" always impresses me by looking at such an old building !! ..here some information i found at Wikipedia about Janus !
Janus was frequently used to symbolize change and transitions such as the progression of future to past, of one condition to another, of one vision to another, the growing up of young people, and of one universe to another. He was also known as the figure representing time because he could see into the past with one face and into the future with the other. Hence, Janus was worshipped at the beginnings of the harvest and planting times, as well as marriages, births and other beginnings. He was representative of the middle ground between barbarity and civilization, rural country and urban cities, and youth and adulthood.
it was raining when i took this ones ...so sorry for the poor quality !
Have a great weekend my friends !!
