San Giorgio Maggiore is a 16th-century Benedictine church on San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice. The basilica was designed in the classical renaissance style by Andrea Palladio, and built between 1566 and 1610.
The innovative sanatorium-resort center "MriyaResort & SPA" is located in the picturesque village. Landslide 25 km from hospitable Yalta. This complex is truly the pearl of the Black Sea resort, as evidenced by the full compliance with international standards among hotels of this level. The main building of the hotel, made in the form of lotus petals, is distinguished by its uniqueness and is the most recognizable in the world, because it was designed by the very famous Norman Foster, an architect from Britain.
Инновационный санаторно-курортный центр «MriyaResort&SPA» находится в живописном с. Оползневое в 25 км от гостеприимной Ялты. Этот комплекс поистине является жемчужиной черноморского курорта, на что указывает полное соответствие международным стандартам среди отелей этого уровня. Выполненное в виде лепестков лотоса главное здание гостиницы отличается своей уникальностью и является самым узнаваемым в мире, ведь его дизайном занимался весьма известный Норманн Фостер – архитектор из Британии.
The Stauropegic Resurrection New Jerusalem Monastery is one of the most famous monasteries in the Moscow Region. It is a unique and sacred place, marvellous in its design, having been crafted by architects from several epochs. It reproduces the layout of key religious sites in Ierusalem – the Resurrection Cathedral is the counterpart of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre with its side chapels and the underground Sts Constantine and Helena Church is the counterpart of the cavernous Palestinian church. The natural landscape around the monastery bears Biblical names: Mounts (or, rather, hills) Tabor, Hermon, Sinai, Mount of Olives, the Jordan river (Istra), and the Garden of Gethsemane.
Известен и под другим названием – Воскресенский Новоиерусалимский монастырь. Мужская православная обитель была основана в 1656 г. рядом с городом Истра в Подмосковье. Своим появлением она обязана патриарху Никону, пожелавшему разбить в этом месте резиденцию патриархов. Сам Никон многократно останавливался здесь на ночлег, ведь ему часто приходилось посещать Иверский монастырь (ездил он по старой Волоколамской дороге). Строительством нового монастыря патриарх желал добиться обустройства центра православного мира на московской земле. При этом планировалось, что грандиозное сооружение станет топографически передавать храм Гроба Господня, расположенный в Иерусалиме. Закладка монастыря производилась на холме с палестинским названием Сион. С восточной стороны к обители прилегал Елеонский холм, ее северным «соседом» был холм Фавор, а местная река Истра получила новое название – Иордан.

"Muckross Abbey - Tree of Life"
As a professional photographer, I spend countless hours researching future destinations. Locations, cultures, topography, temperature, tide schedules, sun - moon - twilight times, google maps/earth, and much more. Occasionally (and hopefully) you stumble upon unforeseen gems. I had read good things about the Muckross area of Wicklow, Ireland. Walking through the brilliant masonry of the Abbey I could see the majestic tree like a light at the end of a dark tunnel. Breathtakingly perfect and enormous, to the point where I wondered if it was real? The base has a twisted bark pattern that rises 10 meters to an amazing canopy, filling the entire ceiling of the courtyard. The sun positioned to create a nice sunstar between the intersections of the tree and the masonry. One of my favorite photos of the trip.

Cattedrale, eretta nel 1121 in epoca normanna e dedicata da Callisto II a Santa Maria Assunta e agli Apostoli Pietro e Paolo.
Nel 1309 venne edificata la cappella di San Vitaliano addossata alla facciata laterale sinistra, vicino all'ingresso detto "porta dell'olmo" e, nel 1588, di fronte ad essa fu edificata la cappella del Santissimo Sacramento, conferendo all'edificio una sorta di schema planimetrico a croce latina. Nell'altare della cappella di San Vitaliano furono deposte in tre nicchie le reliquie di San Vitaliano, patrono della città, di San Fortunato e di Sant'Ireneo, già patroni della città bizantina. La chiesa venne anche rimaneggiata nel 1511 con una facciata rinascimentale, che crollò a causa del terremoto del 1638. Нынешнее здание городского собора датируется XVI веком и было построено на месте более старой церкви, посвящённой Деве Марии и апостолам Петру и Павлу. Фасад в стиле эпохи Возрождения был добавлен позже, когда здание восстанавливалось после землетрясения.

The white-stone Livadia Palace, which served as a summer residence for Russian emperors in the 19th - 20th centuries, is not just the most beautiful architectural installation of Crimea’s southern coast, but also an important historical monument. Here, Allied leaders defined the fate of the post-WWII world.
The history of the palace began in 1834, when Polish magnate Lev Potockiy bought the tiny Livadia village near Yalta and built his mansion here. Thirty years later, emperor Alexander II bought the mansion and made it his summer residence. On the tsar’s orders, the house was rebuilt and turned into a real imperial palace.
By the beginning of the 20th century, the palace became decrepit and emperor Nicholas II, the palace’s master at the time, ordered it to be destroyed and a new palace to be built. Yalta’s architect Nikolay Krasnov was given the project, and he created a real architectural masterpiece, which blended harmoniously with the picturesque landscape.
Livadia Palace was built in Italian Neo-Renaissance style; however, Byzantine, Eastern and Gothic motifs were also added to it.
Александр II подыскивал место, которое можно было бы превратить в нечто вроде санатория для его больной туберкулезом жены. В 1861 году владение Потоцкого было выкуплено казной. И.А. Монигетти, а затем А.Г. Венсан перестроили дом Потоцкого, построили отдельный дворец для наследника престола и прочих царских родственников, Свитский дом, Крестовоздвиженскую церковь и еще ряд зданий.
В виде, обретенном при батюшке, имение очень нравилось императору Александру III, который и умер здесь в 1894 г. Впрочем, этот царь предпочитал жить во дворце наследника, а главное здание использовал для официальных целей.
В 1910 году старый Большой дворец был снесен. По проекту Н.П. Краснова за 17 месяцев на его месте появилось новое здание, прозванное из-за цвета камня Белым дворцом.
В 1925 г. бывшая царская резиденция была превращена в санаторий для больных туберкулезом, преимущественно крестьян. Пациенты тут не только лечились, но и учились – работали курсы ликвидации безграмотности, читались лекции по истории, экономике, политике, а также агрономии и другим сельскохозяйственным дисциплинам.
Гитлеровцы во время оккупации ограбили комплекс нещадно – были вывезены как исторические ценности, так и лечебное оборудование санатория. При отступлении оккупанты подорвали дворец наследника.
Однако советское руководство обеспечило настолько быстрое восстановление, что в феврале 1945 г. Ливадия стала основной площадкой для проведения Ялтинской конференции лидеров стран антифашистской коалиции. И.В. Сталин разместил высоких гостей в лучших крымских дворцах.
Across the Tages River from Lisbon lies Almada, a somewhat lesser know area which nonetheless reveals itself in it’s charm and authentic character. This desolate charm will all disappear soon with the inevitable real estate developments planned for the riverside.

Thank you for having the time to look threw my work.
The events that led to construction of the Kazan Cathedral took place in 1612 during the Time of Troubles, following the end of the Rurik dynasty. During this period Polish forces, in supporting claims to the Russian throne, had occupied Moscow. Russian liberation forces on the way to retake Moscow were led by Prince Dmitri Pozharsky and Kuzma Minin from Yaroslavl. They carried with them the Our Lady of Kazan Icon from Yaroslavl. The Russians laid siege to the Poles who occupied the Kremlin and the walled Kitai-gorod area next to the Kremlin. The Poles were soon defeated and retreated from Russia.
Following the expulsion of the Poles, Prince Dmitri credited their victory to the divine help of the Icon of the Theotokos of Kazan. In honor of the icon, and to commemorate the victory over the invaders, Dmitri financed the construction on Red Square of a small wooden church dedicated to the icon. The church was placed in the northeast corner of Red Square as one enters the square through the Resurrection Gate. The wooden church was destroyed by fire in 1632. Tsar Michael directed that the church be replaced. This time it was built of brick. The new church had a single dome and featured a number of tiers of Kokoshniki, a wide gallery, and a tent shaped belfry. Over the years many modifications were made to the church so that its original design was lost. While attempts, by Peter Baranovsky, were made between 1929 and 1932 to restore the exterior of the cathedral to its original appearance, the accuracy of the restorations were questioned.
In 1936, the year of the three hundredth anniversary of the cathedral, the Kazan Cathedral was destroyed as the Bolshevik dictator Joseph Stalin (nee Joseph Vissarionovich Djugashvili) ordered the Red Square cleared of churches so that it could be used for military parades. In addition to the cathedral, the Resurrection Gates. that stood at the entrance to the Red Square, were also demolished so as to not inhibit entry of parade vehicles and armed forces personnel onto the square.
Within the Perestroika initiatives of the late 1980s, a decision was made to re-build the Kazan Cathedral. The reconstruction was conducted under the direction of architect Oleg Zhurin, a pupil of Peter Baranovsky, using Baranovsky’s plans that he had prepared in the early 1930s. Construction began on November 4, 1990, the feast day of the icon, with the laying of the cornerstone by Patriarch Alexei II. Three years later, the restored cathedral was consecrated and reopened on November 4, 1993.
Собор Казанской иконы Божией Матери был воздвигнут в память об освобождении Русского государства от польско-литовских интервентов, которое совершилось при помощи и заступлении Божией Матери, явившей Свою милость через чудотворную Казанскую икону. Храм был построен на средства первого царя династии Романовых Михаила Феодоровича и освящен в 1636 г. Со времени постройки храм стал одной из важнейших московских церквей, его настоятель занимал одно из первых мест в московском духовенстве.
На протяжении своей истории собор неоднократно перестраивался — в 1760-х, 1802-05, 1865 гг.
В 1920-е гг. в соборе некоторое время служили обновленцы. В 1925-1933 гг. проводилась реставрация собора под руководством архитектора П.Д. Барановского. В 1928 г. была снесена колокольня собора. В 1930 г. Казанский собор был закрыт, а в 1936 г. — снесен.
Собор был восстановлен в 1990-1993 гг. на средства мэрии Москвы и пожертвования граждан. Казанский собор — первый из полностью утраченных в советское время храмов Москвы, который был воссоздан в первоначальных формах. Воссоздать исторический облик храма стало возможным благодаря обмерам, сделанным архитектором П.Д. Барановским перед разрушением храма, и исследованиям историка С.А. Смирнова. 4 ноября 1993 г. храм был освящен Святейшим Патриархом Алексием II.

Second shot from my two days with Mark Bauer. We spent quite few time driving around and ended up at Corfe Castle for some shooting.
The clouds were moving incredible fast, it was just a question to wait for the right time to get the sun lighting the Castle.

Lujiazui skyline@4:50 am. I got up very early and took a taxi to the Bund, which is approximately 20 km away, to take sunrise shots. It turned out to be a rainy day. The sunrise glow only last no more than 30 seconds, followed by a light rain. Another shot with the sunrise glow will be uploaded in the future.

Jyväskylä seen from Kuokkala Bridge. I couldn't resist taking a few photos because I don't often go there and now I happened to be there at sunset.

I had two weather predictions apps on my mobile to check for rain. Believe me: I had one saying torrential rain. Other saying cloudy day. Because I had a really though week, I really wanted to sleep. But no one would be there to take the shot for me wouldn't? So I woke up and seriously consider the app with torrential rain to be right.. LOL.
It wasn't. So packed my stuff and went to the beach to be blessed by a crazy cloudy moving morning with just few breaks of sun. More to come.
