The Menara gardens are located to the west of Marrakech, Morocco, at the gates of the Atlas mountains. They were built in the 12th century (c. 1130) by the Almohad ruler Abd al-Mu'min.
The name menara derives from the pavillon with its small green pyramid roof (menzeh). The pavilion was built during the 16th century Saadi dynasty and renovated in 1869 by sultan Abderrahmane of Morocco, who used to stay here in summertime.
The pavilion and basin (an artificial lake) are surrounded by orchards and olive groves. The intention of the basin was to irrigate the surrounding gardens and orchards using a sophisticated system of underground channels called a qanat. The basin is supplied with water thanks to an old hydraulic system which conveys water from the mountains located 30 km approximately away from Marrakech.

Svolvær is the administrative centre of Vågan Municipality in Nordland County, Norway. It is located on the island of Austvågøya in the Lofoten archipelago, along the Vestfjorden. The 2.37-square-kilometre (590-acre) town has a population (2018) of 4,720 which gives the town a population density of 1,992 inhabitants per square kilometre (5,160/sq mi)(Wikipedia).
Its the major city and many people who wants to visit the Northern Norway fly here and start their journey from here onwards. Also, I really enjoyed the hikes near the city and view of the city from the top of the mountains near by were breathtaking.

L’effet multiplié des écailles multicolores de la carapace du Harpa situé au Austurbakki 2, près de l'intersection des rues Lækjargata et Kalkofnsvegur, à Reykjavik en Islande. Une vue captée au bord de la surface de la carapace de l'édifice.
L'immense complexe Harpa est d'abord une salle de concerts et un centre de congrès, hébergeant aussi restaurants, bars et disquaire, est le fleuron de la geste architecturale islandaise et le symbole de la revitalisation du front de mer de la ville. L'orchestre symphonique d'Islande et l'opéra d'Islande y sont rattachés.
Inauguré en mai 2011, l'Harpa a été conçu par la firme danoise Henning Larsen Architects et somptueusement habillé par le designer islandais Ólafur Elíasson. Etonnant, selon le jour, l'heure et l'état du ciel, sa carapace aux multiples écailles se métamorphose. À l'intérieur, le regard glisse sur les murs lisses et noirs comme de la lave, puis s'arrête sur le plafond couvert de miroirs en 3D.

"Canada’s First Railway Tunnel was completed in 1860 for the Brockville and Ottawa Railway and later owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway until being acquired by the City of Brockville in 1983." -brockvillerailwaytunnel.com
It's now open to the public and has been renovated with a new walkway, LED lights and speakers that give the illusion that a train is passing through. (it's fairly convincing if you close your eyes)
I'm looking forward to coming back here when it opens again (it's closed for the winter) this was my first time here, and I was a little rushed because I was with people and I didn't want to hold them up... too much.
