Mandvi’s Vijay Vilas Palace stands majestically amidst the landscaped and beautifully manicured gardens watered by a number of water channels and equally impressive marble fountains. Located on the banks of the Rukmavati River, Mandvi was a bastioned town that used to serve as the summer retreat of the Kutch Kings. Tourists visiting Mandvi won’t grudge about the paucity of tourist attractions. Enjoying a distinctive popularity among the other major tourist hot spots is the Vijay Vilas Palace in Mandvi. The palace is a brilliant exemplification of Rajput architecture. One look at the palace and it won’t take the knowledgeable ones to understand that there is much similarity between the Vijay Vilas Palace, Mandvi and those of the Orcha and Datia palaces. Some of the noteworthy features of the palace comprise of central dome supported by pillars, the windows graced with colored glasses, the intricate and exquisite window carvings, the bastions at the corners and the extended porch. Another aspect that makes this place such a hot favorite for the tourists is the private beach that features air-conditioned and tented accommodation. If you claim to be a beach lover, you can’t possibly ignore the appeal of the beach that boasts of a pristine and untainted beauty.

Taken during my christmas photoshoot in Austin downtown with my friend Thiagu. I have seen this church a lot of times while driving by and always wanted to shoot. Still have a pending trip to take pictures inside the church.

The barn on the old Peterson place Williamson County, IL. Tracks in the snow - which way did the deer go?
The Carriage House was built around 1831-1832 and, as a stage coach stop between Red Bank and western Monmouth county, it was the first building people would come to when arriving by coach. Inside the building, we have some examples of early carriages from the later 1800’s. The Gardner’s Cottage was attached at the back of the carriage house as the gardener also worked in the winter months with the transportation of goods to and from the village.
Amazing that I got to see this building up close and personal. After all the history I've read and studied previously at school.

This downspout adorns the town hall in Tallinn, Estonia. Dating it is difficult, because the building has undergone several restorations. I suspect it is more recent than the 15th century structure from which it juts in this photo. What I do know is that this is not the first photo of the dragon to appear on Flickr, but it is the first one taken by me.
The flag on the left is the Estonian flag. To the right of it is the flag of the City of Tallinn.
"Located on a busy square, Tallinn's Town Hall dates back to the 13th century and is the only fully intact Gothic town hall in Northern Europe. Its current appearance can be credited to an early 15th-century reconstruction and subsequent restoration efforts. Today it hosts art galleries, concerts and government ceremonies. "
