Exquisite vases on the wall parapets, aerial arches with baroque reliefs and countless statues of ancient Greek gods that adorn the courtyard territory consisting of several descending terraces became an additional decoration of the palace. The sculptures were an exact replica of the ancient sculptures of the Berlin Museum, with the only difference being that ours were gypsum, imitating marble. The park designer introduced his “zest” into the design of the territory. The trick was that the “female” figures were located from the southern part of the palace, where the bedchamber of Maria Feodorovna was located. Statues of male gods "dispersed" from the north side of the palace, respectively, from the side of the emperor's chambers.
Unfortunately, out of almost 30 figures, only six have survived to our times. Surprisingly, they are all paired: two satyrs, two chimeras and two sphinxes. The rest were irretrievably lost, dashing times of wars and revolutions did not spare them.
Вся придворцовая часть парка, занимающая около 1,5 десятин, была украшена скульптурами. Они были установлены вокруг дворца, на подпорных стенах, в нише второго этажа и на открытом в то время балконе. Всего было установлено 29 скульптур и 6 декоративных ваз. Согласно архивным документам, скульптуры изготовлялись из искусственного камня и отливались из гипса. Статуи из искусственного камня (их было 12) были выписаны через петербургскую фирму "Кос и Дюр" из Метлаха и обошлись в среднем по 250-300 рублей. Гипсовые скульптуры также были отлиты за границей и представляли собой копии статуй из Императорского Берлинского музея изящных искусств. Некоторые гипсовые скульптуры были окрашены масляными красками под цвет мрамора. Статуи изображали античных богов, философов, аллегории различных искусств и наук.
К сожалению, большая часть скульптур, украшавших дворец, не сохранилась. Некоторые из них были сделаны из недолговечного материала и уже к 1909 году были сильно повреждены, что вызвало необходимость снять их.
Некоторые из скульптур были утрачены уже в советское время.
Уцелело лишь 6 скульптур: два сатира, два дракона (иногда их называют химерами), два сфинкса. Последние, очевидно, были сделаны здесь, на месте, по моделям, привезенным из Петербурга и выполненным скульптором А.Г. Бауманом, работавшим над оформлением Массандровского дворца.
Le Palais du Peyrou - The relatively large Swiss mansion was built between 1765 and 1771 for Pierre-Alexandre Du Peyrou by the Bernese architect Erasme Ritter. The still mainly original interior of the mansion was executed by highly skilled craftsmen.
In 1858 the city of Neuchâtel bought the mansion and restored it to its former glory. Today Le Palais du Peyrou contains a restaurant and it is also used for ceremonial events by the city.
According to one of the legends it was founded in 891. Originally it belonged to the Constantinopolitan Patriarchate. The first record of the monastery dates back to 1578. From 1778 (the Christians’ outcome from Crimea) to 1794 the monastery does not function. From 1806 it becomes the base monastery for the Black Sea Fleet hieromonachs. New temples are built: 1816 — the Great Martyr George Temple, 1850 — the Exaltation of the Cross Temple, 1893 — the Cave Church of the Nativity of Christ. The monastery is closed in 1929. It was revived in 1994. In 2000 there started the building of the Great Martyr George Temple, ruined in 1927.
Православный мужской монастырь в Балаклавском районе Севастополя, расположен у мыса Фиолент, на побережье Чёрного моря. По преданию, монастырь в 891 году основали греки-мореплаватели. Как гласит легенда, возле Фиолента их настигла буря, при этом судно чуть не разбилось о скалу. Путешественники попросили святого Георгия Победоносца о помощи, и буря утихла. В благодарность моряки основали на берегу обитель с церковью во имя этого святого.

The image depicts a narrow alleyway lined with traditional stone houses. The houses have bright green shutters that stand out against the warm, tan-colored stone. The alleyway is bathed in sunlight, casting a golden glow on the scene. The houses have red tile roofs and you can see some plants growing on the balconies. The atmosphere seems peaceful and charming, typical of a small village on the island of Mallorca on a beautiful sunny day.

Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy, like Venice itself, it could more correctly be called an archipelago of four islands linked by bridges. It is situated near Torcello at the northern end of the Lagoon, and is known for its small, brightly painted houses, popular with artists. The colours of the houses follow a specific system originating from the golden age of its development, if someone wishes to paint their home, one must send a request to the government, who will respond by making notice of the certain colours permitted for that lot.

Have you ever been to Basel?
Just arrived and just in time for the blue hour, we stood on the middle Rhine bridge. With the camera aimed at the banks of the Rhine and the river, there was a wonderful atmosphere, peaceful and because we were in the middle of the city, nevertheless happy and lively.
All visitors of Burano remain intrigued by the many colours and the colorful houses that are reflected into the green waters of channels, by the leaning bell tower, by the tranquility and the calmness with which the elderly ladies embroider original Burano lace by their tombolo (or lace pillow), while they are laughing and chatting in squares among them. It seems to be in paradise.
The Tour Incity is high and visible from far away. And thus he strongly shapes the skyline of Lyon. But just as interesting as the height and the many floors is what is at the foot of the skyscraper. It is Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse...the name says it all. Here, every hungry mouth will find something tasty.
And if the sun helps a little in the golden hour, a modern somewhat cool skyscraper with a lot of glass, almost becomes a romantic spot in the middle of Lyon.

Antoine Berjon is the name of the gentleman in focus in the center and the sculpture was created by Clément Jayet. I don't know either of them and neither do I know the woman in the picture in the background, not to mention the blurred gentleman in the foreground. But the arrangement in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lyon appealed to me and tempted me to play with the depth of field.
Photographed handheld, it is once again amazing to me how you can get good pictures in a rather dark room of a museum.

Actually just a normal alley in Toulouse. Not ugly, not particularly pretty, just a normal alley. But what a bright spot the fresh, colorful, good-smelling flowers bring to everyday life. The warm light of the store and the colorful flowers magically attracted my eye.
...because I got asked a lot about the sunrays: They are *not* edited / fake. They are real! It's just the interaction of the right moment in time and the right camera settings, then there is no need to fake it in post :-)

This Hungarian stilt village is built in a lake that never freezes over due to the power plant that uses it as a cooling pond. The neighbouring towns of Bokod and Oroszlány, have more than two linear miles of cabins and cottages suspended on stilts over Lake Bokodi. The little houses are mostly used by locals in the summer months, but they also cater to year-round anglers who take advantage of one weird fact about the lake — despite the frigid Hungarian winters, it rarely freezes over.
