A stunning view of a full orange moon above brightly lit Chengdu city skyline, featuring prominent skyscrapers and a tranquil night ambiance, evoking a sense of awe and wonder.
Designed by Victor Lundy and built in 1962, Unitarian Meeting House in Hartford is sited at the base of a sloped park. The circular church has tweleve concrete curved diameter-line fin walls, and steel bridge cables that support the sweeping, cedar plank roof. The roof now is covered with liquid applied membrane for water tight.
If you look at the details carefully, you realize how intricate the interior design of St. Peter's is and you can see how genius this architecture is.

Steeples in Massachusetts often times makes me think their heaven bound with the way they reach to the skies. They are very beautiful with each one being constructed different than the next
This is the former BEST Products store at 415 N Military Highway, Norfolk, VA, located in BEST Square.
This store also up until recently housed BEST Thrift. I'm not entirely sure why they closed, but now the store is vacant. if you look really close, you can make out the labelscar of the BEST logo.
A modern high-rise stands tall against a backdrop of endless forest, its sharp lines and vivid green facade contrasting with the softer tones of trees and suburban houses below. The glass balconies reflect fragments of life, while the grid-like design adds order to the vertical rise. Between city and nature, this building becomes a striking marker of human presence in the landscape — a geometric statement reaching above the treetops.

A mesmerizing view of the spiral staircase at Isola Bella, Italy. The stone steps and rustic walls create a captivating blend of history and architecture, leading the eye upwards towards the light. This unique perspective showcases the intricate design and craftsmanship of this historic site.
A Catedral de Pamplona, localizada em Navarra, Espanha, ostenta uma fachada neoclássica que substituiu a antiga fachada românica. Projetada por Ventura Rodríguez e concluída entre 1783 e 1792, a fachada exibe influências da arquitetura clássica greco-romana, caracterizada por simetria, proporções equilibradas e o uso de colunas clássicas.
Pilastras coríntias sustentam um frontão triangular, elemento típico do neoclassicismo, e a ornamentação inclui esculturas e relevos de figuras religiosas e simbólicas, realçando o significado espiritual da catedral.
A catedral, originalmente construída em estilo românico no século XII, passou por várias reformas, culminando na sua fachada neoclássica. Esta transição reflete um movimento europeu que visava reviver os princípios clássicos em resposta ao excesso barroco. A consagração da catedral em 1880 marcou um momento crucial na história religiosa de Pamplona.
Curiosamente, a fachada neoclássica foi alvo de críticas por parte do escritor Ernest Hemingway, que a descreveu como "feia" na sua obra "O Sol Também Nasce/Fiesta". Apesar desta opinião subjetiva, a fachada é considerada uma das obras mais puras e representativas do neoclassicismo na Península Ibérica.
Have you ever thought about what would happen if you were crossing this bridge and suddenly a low-scale earthquake caused it to sway? Not even to collapse, but surely your entire life would pass in milliseconds through your mind. The people who wouldn't see you anymore, those on whom the bridge would fall, or the fact that at least this beautiful afternoon light was your end. Surely, once the tremor passed, you would think twice before crossing it again, maybe you would even change jobs. In this photo, the bridge between these two buildings is highlighted by the last light of the afternoon choosing to make its final appearance for the few eyes wanting to perceive it. A well-thought-out architectural feat or pure luck on the architects' part? In any case, it's fascinating that it happens. The other floors again create an abstraction of our constructions and how we position ourselves in urban spaces.
California, USA
Stanford was founded by a railroad magnate, U.S. Senator, former Governor of California Leland Stanford, and his wife, Jane Stanford.
From an architectural point of view, the Stanfords wanted their university to look different and sought to emulate the style of English university buildings. They specified in the founding grant that the buildings should "be like the old adobe houses of the early Spanish days; they will be one-storied; they will have deep window seats and open fireplaces, and the roofs will be covered with the familiar dark red tiles." Stanford University’s original campus opened in 1891, was designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, best known for co-designing New York City's Central Park. Olmsted's design for Stanford featured a grand, open quadrangle surrounded by low-rise buildings in a Mission Revival style, which became a defining architectural feature of the campus. The main buildings were designed by Charles Allerton Coolidge of the Boston architectural firm Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge, under Olmsted’s guidance.

Buddhist temple at the base of Tokyo Tower
"Zojoji Temple (増上寺, Zōjōji) is the head temple of the Jodo sect of Japanese Buddhism in the Kanto Region. Standing next to Tokyo Tower, the temple grounds consist of some impressive structures as well as a mausoleum of the Tokugawa family and a small museum.
Most of Zojoji's current buildings are recent reconstructions except for the main entrance gate, the Sangedatsumon, which has survived many fires, earthquakes and wars and dates from 1622.
The temple was originally built in the year 1393 and moved to its present location in 1598 by Tokugawa Ieyasu who selected it as his family temple. The mausoleum of the family is located at the back of the complex and contains the tombs of six of the Tokugawa shogun.
The small museum in the basement of the temple main hall focuses primarily on the previous manifestation of the Tokugawa Mausoleum, which included ornate buildings before it was severely damaged during World War 2. In addition to various documents, the museum includes a video about the mausoleum's construction and a detailed 1:10 scale model of the former buildings."

Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. Originally known as Boulder Dam from 1933, it was officially renamed Hoover Dam, for President Herbert Hoover, by a joint resolution of Congress in 1947. Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water and produce hydroelectric power. In 1928, Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium called Six Companies, Inc., which began construction on the dam in early 1931. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques were unproven. The torrid summer weather and lack of facilities near the site also presented difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned the dam over to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule. Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States by volume (when it is full). The dam is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Hoover Dam is a major tourist attraction; nearly a million people tour the dam each year. The heavily traveled U.S. Route 93 (US 93) ran along the dam's crest until October 2010, when the Hoover Dam Bypass opened. As the United States developed the Southwest, the Colorado River was seen as a potential source of irrigation water. An initial attempt at diverting the river for irrigation purposes occurred in the late 1890s, when land speculator William Beatty built the Alamo Canal just north of the Mexican border; the canal dipped into Mexico before running to a desolate area Beatty named the Imperial Valley. Though water from the Imperial Canal allowed for the widespread settlement of the valley, the canal proved expensive to maintain. After a catastrophic breach that caused the Colorado River to fill the Salton Sea, the Southern Pacific Railroad spent $3 million in 1906–07 to stabilize the waterway, an amount it hoped in vain would be reimbursed by the Federal Government. Even after the waterway was stabilized, it proved unsatisfactory because of constant disputes with landowners on the Mexican side of the border. As the technology of electric power transmission improved, the Lower Colorado was considered for its hydroelectric-power potential. In 1902, the Edison Electric Company of Los Angeles surveyed the river in the hope of building a 40-foot (12 m) rock dam which could generate 10,000 horsepower (7,500 kW). However, at the time, the limit of transmission of electric power was 80 miles (130 km), and there were few customers (mostly mines) within that limit. Edison allowed land options it held on the river to lapse—including an option for what became the site of Hoover Dam. In the following years, the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), known as the Reclamation Service at the time, also considered the Lower Colorado as the site for a dam. Service chief Arthur Powell Davis proposed using dynamite to collapse the walls of Boulder Canyon, 20 miles (32 km) north of the eventual dam site, into the river. The river would carry off the smaller pieces of debris, and a dam would be built incorporating the remaining rubble. In 1922, after considering it for several years, the Reclamation Service finally rejected the proposal, citing doubts about the unproven technique and questions as to whether it would in fact save money.

The Cagsawa Ruins (also spelled as Kagsawa or Cagsaua) are the remnants of an 16th-century Franciscan church, the Cagsawa church. It was built in 1587 but was burned down by the marauding Dutch in 1636. However, it was reconstructed again in 1724 by Fr. Francisco Blanco. In February 1, 1814, Mayon Volcano caused its most violent and deadly eruption that engulfed the surrounding houses and killed nearly 2,000 people who took refuge inside the church. Only the belfry of the Cagsawa church remains as a grim and silent testimony of that fateful day. For almost two hundred years, it has withstood the test of time and the elements to become one of the most recognizable landmarks of Albay Province. The ruins are located in Barangay Busay, Cagsawa, in the municipality of Daraga, Albay, Philippines.
