Built in 1981. Architects: L.Melanchthon, P.Savina, V.Shestopalov, N.Baranov. Engineer V. Chudnovsky. The project of the House of Soviets itself was considered very progressive for its time, since it did not cause serious damage to the architectural appearance of the central part of the city, the administration building on both sides of the buildings of the office premises of the VIII- XIX centuries forms a single ensemble with them.
Здание администрации Ярославской области, построенное в 1981 году, завершило реконструкцию Советской площади. Архитекторы постарались гармонично вписать его в уже сложившийся архитектурный ансамбль, сохранив масштабность и очертания бывшего Дворца наместника. Обратите внимание, что современные строгие фасады здания, облицованные белым камнем, одновременно тактично стилизованы под классицизм. Авторы проекта данной постройки архитекторы Шестопалов, Малашонок, Савинова, инженер- конструктор Чудновский были удостоены Государственной премии РСФСР.
Built in 1885, the Church of the Intercession in Oreanda has long been one of the most iconic religious sites in the whole of Greater Yalta. Starting with Emperor Alexander III, all subsequent Romanovs prayed in it. It is the Intercession Church that Chekhov mentions in his story "The Lady with the Dog". In the architectural and cultural sense, the temple is interesting because it is made in the Georgian-Byzantine style, which is not quite familiar to Russia, which is distinguished by the construction in the form of a cross, a cone-shaped dome on which an openwork four-pointed Byzantine cross stands.
Построенная в 1885 году, церковь Покрова в Ореанде долгое время была одним из самых знаковых религиозных объектов всей Большой Ялты. Начиная с императора Александра III, в ней молились все последующие Романовы. Именно Покровская церковь упоминается Чеховым в его рассказе «Дама с собачкой». В архитектурно-культурном смысле храм интересен тем, что выполнен в не совсем привычном для России грузино-византийском стиле, который отличает постройка в виде креста, конусовидный купол, на котором высится ажурный четырёхконечный византийский крест.
One of Quinta de Regaleira's most fascinating feature is located beneath the ground – a pair of wells spiraling deep within the earth. The wells were never used, nor intended for water collection. Instead, these mysterious underground towers were used for secretive initiation rites.
The ‘Initiation Well’ or ‘Inverted Tower’, consist of ‘winding stair’ architecture, which carries symbolic meaning including the death/rebirth allegory common to many hermetic traditions.
The well contains nine platforms, which are said to be “reminiscent of the Divine Comedy by Dante and the nine circles of Hell, the nine sections of Purgatory and the nine skies which constitute Paradise.”

Located within the boundaries of Baisha Town, Yangshuo County, Fuli Bridge was built over 500 years ago in the Ming Dynasty. The bridge measures 30 meters in length, 10 meters in height and 5 meters in width.
Single-arched stone bridges were a common type of bridge built in ancient China due to their strength and sturdiness, and like many of them, the Fuli Bridge has survived thanks to its high resistance to weathering.

GUIMARÃES (Portugal): Centro Ciência Viva de Guimarães.
O Centro Ciência Viva de Guimarães – Curtir Ciência (uma alusão direta à tradição dos curtumes) ocupa o espaço da antiga Fábrica Âncora, em frente à Loja dos Registos, na Zona de Couros. Inaugurado a 17 de dezembro de 2015, o equipamento conta com uma exposição permanente com cerca de duas dezenas de módulos de sete áreas do conhecimento.
Edifício com história devolvido às pessoas
A antiga Fábrica Âncora apresenta-se como um ícone da tipologia construtiva de Couros, sendo um edifício de referência. Em 1269, foi constituída em Guimarães a Confraria de Sapataris, que terá estado na origem, em 1315, da Irmandade de S. Crispim e S. Crispiniano, fundada pelos mestres sapateiros João Baião e Pero Baião, que dotaram logo a instituição de uma fonte de rendimento ao legarem uma poça de curtumes na Rua de Couros, com sete pias de pedra.
A zona foi densamente povoada, tendo outrora faltado muitas vezes casas para as famílias operárias. A importância que então ostentava a atividade dos curtumes persiste ainda hoje em manifestações culturais vimaranenses. É o caso da Peregrinação Anual à Penha, uma das maiores celebrações religiosas do concelho que teve origem numa iniciativa de curtidores e surradores.

Levens Bridge on a damp cold Cumbrian morning.
Levens Bridge is a rubble built structure, with two segmental arches and cutwaters to the central pier. It has been widened more than once; the centre is perhaps 17th century, the west side 18th or 19th century and the east side modern. Grade 2.

Построенная из итальянского мрамора в византийском стиле, Крестовоздвиженская церковь видела за свою двухсотлетнюю историю много знаковых событий. Здесь отпевали императора Александра III. Здесь приняла православие будущая жена Николая II Александра Федоровна. В Крестовоздвиженской церкви новый император присягнул на верность российскому престолу.

The hotel is located at the beginning of Tverskaya Street, near its intersection with Mokhovaya Street - in close proximity to Red Square and the Moscow Kremlin.
In the 19th century, the Paris Hotel was located on this site, which was demolished during the general reconstruction of Moscow in the 1930s. Until 2002, a 22-storey building of the Intourist Hotel, built in 1970, stood on this site.
The opening of The Ritz-Carlton, Moscow took place on July 1, 2007. The hotel building was built in 2005-2007 according to the design of the team of authors headed by architect A. D. Meyerson.
Гостиница расположена в начале Тверской улицы, вблизи её пересечении с Моховой улицей — в непосредственной близости от Красной площади и Московского Кремля.
В XIX веке на этом месте находилась гостиница «Париж», которая была снесена в ходе генеральной реконструкции Москвы 1930-х годов. До 2002 года на этом месте стояло 22-этажное здание гостиницы «Интурист», построенное в 1970 году.
Открытие гостиницы «The Ritz-Carlton, Moscow» состоялось 1 июля 2007 года. Здание гостиницы строилось в 2005—2007 годах по проекту авторского коллектива, возглавляемого архитектором А. Д. Меерсоном.

Today we went to Al Ittihad Square Park at Sharjah for a meet-and-greet with fellow Bengali's in UAE. This is located at Sharjah's Corniche, i.e. seafront, and is a lively place especially in the evening. Families of all nationalities flock to this park with portable chairs, snacks and even full blown barbecue equipment and dinner. Nearby was the local mosque that was lit brilliantly at night. Fortunately, I was carrying all my camera equipment, including the tripod for night-time long-exposure shots. I set up my equipment and took this shot that embodies a little bit of Sharjah at night, a city that revels in good cheer and social life amongst beautiful Islamic cultural artifacts and art.
GUIMARÃES (Portugal): Zona de Couros.
Em Guimarães, a Indústria dos Curtumes, que remonta à Idade Média, desenvolveu-se com sucesso até meados do séc. XX, fazendo da cidade uma referência nacional no setor. No séc. XIX, a atualmente designada Zona de Couros foi um núcleo privilegiado da indústria de transformação de peles, onde se manteve uma produção baseada nas técnicas tradicionais e no trabalho manual. Ainda que pouco significativas, as primeiras tentativas de inovação e modernização dos processos de produção surgiram apenas nos inícios do séc. XX, fazendo com que esta indústria se mantivesse ativa até meados do século. Em julho de 1977, a Zona de Couros é classificada como Imóvel de Interesse Público, no que constituiu a primeira iniciativa legislativa do género realizada em Portugal em torno da arqueologia industrial. Esta classificação vem reconhecer a importância da atividade e contribuir para a preservação dos vestígios desta indústria local. Na Zona de Couros, existem diversos edifícios que foram construídos para a instalação de fábricas destinadas à transformação das peles em couros, com os seus típicos secadouros e tanques de tinturaria.

Walking through the streets of Palma de Mallorca in July you can't be sure whether you truly are in Spain or rather in Germany or England. But if you leave the crowded places and turn into smaller alleys and streets you find Spain, away from tourists and shops full of cheap souvenirs. And that are the places I love to discover.
Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!
A late blue hour shot from the famous Landwasserviadukt in Switzerland. Luckily the bridge was already lightened. I really like opposite colors: Yellow light on the bridge and the light trail of the train. Dark blue from the natural light reflected on the snow.
