Picture Day!

So, today is picture day at Hogwarts. I am not a huge fan of having my picture taken since I do not look as good as I did when I was a young witch. However, one must do what one must do. At least they had different backgrounds to choose from, everything from France to Outer Space. I chose something pretty. The Bellas Artes building in Mexico City.

I fell in love with this building when I was there, so of course I wanted to go back and relive my love affair with it. It has an interesting history, as it was built with 2 different architectural styles. I don't remember the exact details of it, but it has to do with some major event happening and the original architect being fired or leaving. Here is a Wiki on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palacio_de_Bellas_Artes

There are also some interesting tid bits I learned on the tour I took of it. Apparently the outside architect really loved his dog, so there is a little dog face on the outside of the building as a tribute. There's a lot of other little interesting facts I could post about the building, but I have to go work on my Transfiguration homework and then cast a cleaning spell, so without further ado.

Here is the final product of picture day:
