Slangenburg Castle is a castle in the municipality of Doetinchem in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands.
The castle is first mentioned in 1354 as the property of Maes (Thomas) van Baer.
Slangenburg Castle was constructed in the Late Medieval period. In the 17th century the castle became the property of General Frederik Johan van Baer, also known as General Slangenburg, who rebuilt it for residential purposes.
The last private owners were a German family called Passmann, who are buried in a private cemetery next to the moat.
At present the castle is used as a guesthouse by the nearby Benedictine monastery, St. Willibrord's Abbey (Sint-Willibrordabdij), a newly built structure of the 1950s situated on a part of the castle's former estate. The original monastic community, from Oosterhout Abbey, was initially accommodated in the castle itself in the years immediately following the war.

Zwischen beiden verlaufen mehrere Fernbahngleise sowie der Straßenzug Freihafenelbbrücke, über die eine Fußgängerbrücke, der sogenannte Skywalk, hinwegführen soll.

Aujourd'hui j'ai viisté la Grande Mosquée de Paris, cela faisait longtemps que je voulais le faire. Je ne regrette pas, elle est vrailment magifique et le jardin intérieur un havre de paix et de fraicheur.
Merci à @mel.butterfly pour sa collaboration à l’insu de son plein gré sur cette photo.

Elle est située 6, rue Georges-Desplas dans le quartier du Jardin-des-Plantes du 5e arrondissement de Paris. La mosquée, inaugurée le 15 juillet 1926, a été construite au nom de la Société des habous des lieux saints de l’islam. Elle est la plus ancienne des mosquées de France métropolitaine servant au culte.
L’histoire de la mosquée de Paris est liée à la colonisation. Elle fut conçue comme un geste pour commémorer la mort des soldats indigènes lors de la Première Guerre mondiale.

queda dentro de mí; y tus rincones,

New York City - January 24, 2023: Long exposure of clouds over Lower Manhattan, the East River and the pilings near Brooklyn Bridge Park.
The image of this single plant somehow thriving in what must be the smallest, most inhospitable niche on a window ledge of St. Peter's Church in Harper's Ferry National Historic Park, WV, grabbed my attention during a recent visit.

Ursprünglich wurde das Wasserschloss als Unterkunft und Werkstatt für die Hafenarbeiter genutzt, welche die Wartung und Reparatur der hydraulischen Speicherwinden ausführten. Sie wurden Windenwärter bzw. Windenwächter genannt und hatten – neben anderem technischen Personal – das Privileg, in der Speicherstadt wohnen zu dürfen.
Die Winden waren ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Speicherhäuser: Es gab – und gibt bis heute – keine Lastenaufzüge. Sämtliche Waren wurden mit Winden außen an den Fassaden zu bzw. von den Lagerböden der Speicher gezogen.
Die für die Wartungsarbeiten erforderlichen, zum Teil schweren Ersatzteile konnten von hier aus über die Straßen und Kanäle transportiert werden. Auf dem Wasserweg über zwei Kräne an der Ostseite des Gebäudes, zu Land über eine alte Pflasterstraße, die direkt in das Gebäude führt und hinter den großen Flügeltüren des Wasserschlösschens endet.
Heutzutage wird das Gebäude gewerblich genutzt. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich eine Gewerbefläche für Teehandel mit angeschlossener Gastronomie. In der ersten Etage ist ein Anbieter für Sauerstofftherapie ansässig. Wegen seiner Lage und Architektur diente es auch als Kulisse für Fernsehproduktionen, beispielsweise für die TV-Kinderserie „Die Pfefferkörner“.
Das Wasserschlösschen firmiert außerdem als „Außentraustelle“ des Standesamts Hamburg–Mitte.
Originally the moated castle was used as a shelter and workshop for the dockers, who carried out the maintenance and repair of the hydraulic storage winches. They were called Windenwächter or Windenwächter and had - in addition to other technical personnel - the privilege to live in the Speicherstadt.
The winches were an important component of the storage buildings: there were - and still are today - no freight elevators. All goods were drawn with winches on the outside to the facades to or from the storage floors of the store.
The spare parts required for the maintenance work, some of them heavy, could be transported from here over the roads and canals. On the waterway over two cranes on the east side of the building, on land over an old paved road that leads directly into the building and ends behind the large double doors of the water castle.
Nowadays the building is used commercially. On the ground floor there is a commercial space for tea trade with attached gastronomy. On the first floor, a provider of oxygen therapy is located. Because of its location and architecture, it also served as a backdrop for television productions, such as the TV series "Die Pfefferkörner".
The Wasserschlösschen also trades under the name "Außenentraustelle" of the registry office Hamburg-Mitte.
In this photograph, you can see a long cause-way leading to the Baradari. This building is part of the Hiran Minar Complex. This garden was constructed during this time of Mughal emperor Jahangir in about 1606 A.D. In memory of his pet antelope, named Mansraj.
The architecture of this room is so rich that it almost seems to cause nausea while your brain trying to process all this texture from the ground to the ceiling, it really makes you all chicken skin.
I cannot resist to transcript the text about this hall from wikipedia in here, it's really amazing:
The Sala de los Abencerrajes (Hall of the Abencerrages) derives its name from a legend according to which the father of Boabdil, the last sultan of Granada, having invited the chiefs of that line to a banquet, massacred them here.[citation needed] This room is a perfect square, with a lofty dome and trellised windows at its base. The roof is decorated in blue, brown, red and gold, and the columns supporting it spring out into the arch form in a remarkably beautiful manner. Opposite to this hall is the Sala de las dos Hermanas (Hall of the two Sisters), so-called from two white marble slabs laid as part of the pavement. These slabs measure 500 by 220 cm (15 by 7½ ft). There is a fountain in the middle of this hall, and the roof — a dome honeycombed with tiny cells, all different, and said to number 5000 — is an example of the "stalactite vaulting" of the Moors.
