In Italy, quite near the border of the country with Austria and Switzerland, there is Lake Reschen (Lago di Resia or Reschensee), in the middle of which an old bell tower rises. Local legend says that in winter, when the pond is covered with ice, the bells of the long-removed bells ring out from here. It is as if the dead ministers of the church, buried in graves that remained under water, pull invisible ropes - and a hymn to the glory of the Lord sounds, unheard by many...
Lake Rezia, six kilometers long and one wide, is of artificial origin - it serves as a reservoir for water used for the needs of a nearby hydroelectric power station. The flooded bell tower towering above the waters of the lake is all that remains of the city of Graun (Curon), which once stood on this site.
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.

This Odinist Temple is the first that I have ever found to worship in the Odinist faith, the ancient religion that predates Christianity. This is the religion that was originally the religion of N. Europe, Scandinavia and Britain. I found this temple entirely by accident, just walking around little streets that I had never walked down before.
Built around 1556, this small stone built structure on Bede House Lane was originally a Christian Chapel and has been a listed, protected building since 1950.

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.
The west side adjacent to the palace of Exaltation of the Cross church, built in Byzantine style. Above the entrance - the archangel Gabriel. As the original frame adds even greater value of precious stones, and Livadia Park, emphasizes the beauty of the palace.
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.

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.
