Este mirador, con vistas al Danubio y a Pest, fue construido sobre una parte de las paredes del castillo entre 1895 y 1902, con una mezcla de estilos, entre el neogótico y el neoromántico, y se caracteriza por tener siete torres de visibilidad decorativas, que simbolizan las siete tribus húngaras que conquistaron la tierra que se convertiría en el reino de Hungría. -
What a futuristic and fantastic building! This museum convinces not only with its contents, which include permanent exhibitions and also temporary exhibitions about anthropology and science. The whole museum is packed in extremely appealing and great architecture.
A visit is doubly worthwhile because of the exhibits and because of the building.
By the way it's the Musée des Confluences...and it is located in the very south of the peninsula formed by the Saône and the Rhône in Lyon, just before their confluence....guess where the name comes from.

During a solo photo walk along the corniche of Marjan Island, I took a close-up of the distant shores of the high-rises of Ras Al Khaimah. I processed a monochrome sepia version of the full-color shot for atmospheric effect.
Thank you to everybody that views, comments and for favouring my images. Always greatly appreciated.

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.

Tolga Convent was founded in 1314 on the left bank of the Volga river, on the place of miraculous appearance of the Tolga Icon of the Mother of God. Against all odds of history, beginning with Mongol Yoke, Tolga Convent emerged from ruins and desolation and nowadays attracts thousands of pilgrims. The convent is located not far from Yaroslavl; on the left bank of the river Volga, at the place of confluence of a small river Tolgobolka (or Tolga) into Volga. White stone walls with high angle towers, cathedrals with multiple heads, glaring golden domes and crosses and a predominating massive bell-tower form one magnificent harmonious structure, captivating eyes of those travelling along Volga. The cedar grove has been planted here in the 16th century to commemorate the miraculous appearance of the icon after fire.
Епископ Прохор, возвращаясь по Волге в Ярославль из Белозерья, 7 августа 1314 года вместе с бывшими при нем священниками остановился ночевать на правом берегу Волги в 8 верстах от Ярославля. В полночь он увидел на противоположном берегу сияющий огненный столп и мост к нему. Утром 8 августа там была обретена икона Пресвятой Богородицы. На этом месте святитель начал строить церковь. В начале XV века здесь произошел пожар. Сгорели кельи, ограда, пламя мгновенно объяло и церковь. Спасти из церковной утвари ничего не удалось. Но когда огонь потух, святую икону обрели вне монастыря, в лесу, совершенно невредимую и сияющую светом. В Смутное время Толгская обитель была полностью разорена, но чудотворная икона уцелела. 1612 год отмечен в летописи монастыря древнейшим из известных крестных ходов с Толгской иконой Богородицы в Ярославль, назначенный тогда сборным пунктом для народных ополчений, собиравшихся для спасения Москвы и Русского государства.
