The Bayon Temple was built in the late 12 th or early 13 th century A.D. by Jayavarman VII, one of the Khmer Empire’s greatest kings. The Bayon Temple served as the state temple of Jayavarman’s new capital, Angkor Thom. Given the centrality of Buddhism in the Khmer Empire, the Bayon Temple stood at the center of Angkor Thom. Unlike the other temples built by the Khmer, Bayon Temple is unique in that it was the only state temple built primarily as a Mahayana Buddhist shrine dedicated to the Buddha. After the death of Jayavarman, the features of the Bayon Temple were altered according to the religious belief of his successors, thus containing Hindu and Theravada Buddhist elements that were not part of the temple’s original plans. Байон - известный своей архитектурой кхмерский храм в Ангкоре. Построенный в конце 12-ого столетия или в начале 13-ого столетия как официальный государственный храм Короля Джаявармана VII - буддиста направления Махаяны, Байон стоит в центре столицы Джаявармана - Ангкора Тхом. После смерти Джаявармана, он был изменен и увеличен более поздними индуистскими и буддистскими королями, проповедовавших Тхераваду в соответствии с их собственными религиозными предпочтениями.
Наиболее отличительная особенность Байона - это множество безмятежных и массивных каменных лиц на многих башнях, которые выступают из верхней террасы и группы вокруг ее центральной башни. Храм известен также двумя внушительными ансамблями барельефов, которые представляют необычную комбинацию мифологических, исторических и бытовых сцен.
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.”

Corfe Castle again, but this time on long exposure.
I love the way the clouds where moving that day and I guess because all the storms that happened on the following days, that was just an indication how things would be. It was just two days in UK, but Mark Bauer and I went to some fantastic locations.

High above the town of Wil on the observation tower, you have a wonderful view into the distance to the mountains, but also to the city of Wil with its beautiful old town situated on a hill. So it doesn't always have to be a drone, a walk up the next hill will do.

Музей «Старый Владимир» разместился внутри бывшей водонапорной башни, построенной в конце 19 века для водоснабжения Владимира. После реконструкции водопроводной системы в 1950-х годах башню было решено перевести в разряд городских памятников. В 1975 году состоялось открытие музея, посвященного провинциальному Владимиру 19–20 веков.
Donghai Bridge, literally "East Sea Grand Bridge", is one of the longest cross-sea bridges in the world. It was completed on December 10, 2005. It has a total length of 32.5 km and connects mainland Shanghai with the offshore Yangshan deep-water port in China. Most of the bridge is a low-level viaduct. There are also cable-stayed sections to allow for the passage of large ships, largest with span of 420 meters.

LUSO (Portugal): Palace Hotel do Buçaco.
Este singular e mundialmente famoso palácio neo-manuelino, construido pelos monarcas portugueses nos finais do Século XIX, constitui uma das jóias artísticas da Europa. Subordinado, de um modo geral, ao tema das Descobertas dos Portugueses, o conjunto exibe uma riqueza de decoração com uma exuberância de arcos abobadados, escadarias em mármore, tapeçarias raras, quadros de mestres pintores e peças de alguns dos mais notáveis artistas portugueses, para espanto e encanto dos hóspedes.
O rei D. Carlos, que encomendou esta obra, não viveu para a ver. O filho D. Manuel II, visitou-o brevemente antes do exílio. A transformação em hotel de luxo, com vinhos próprios, deveu-se a uma inspiração do cozinheiro real.

The « Japanese Bridge » is a picture I took at "la défense" in Paris.
View from the Past
I used to come here a lot when I was a kid. There was a tiny dam across the water to get to the island (where this image was taken from) We would crawl over the dam as it was only as wida as your foot and play on the island we had named 'Rabbit Island'…
Those were the days…

The Roche Towers are skyscrapers in the Swiss city of Basel. They are the tallest buildings in the country.
The illuminated building, also known as "Building 1" (German: Bau 1), was financed by pharmaceutical company Hoffmann-La Roche and designed by Herzog & de Meuron. It cost 550 million Swiss francs to build.
As part of Roche's 125th anniversary celebrations, the towers were illuminated in early October 2021.

As early as during the Roman era this area was the heart of Milan. Later, during the Middle Ages, when there were several churches clustered together here, it was the center of religious life in Milan. In 1859, when the cathedral was close to completion after a construction period of almost five hundred years, the city of Milan decided it was time to create a large square at the foot of the cathedral. It launched a competition for the design which attracted 176 participants. The Italian architect Giuseppe Mengoni was selected as the winner. To create the square and surrounding buildings, a whole neighborhood right in the heart of historic Milan had to be demolished. Construction started in 1862 and the project took about twenty years before it was finally completed.
Соборная площадь была основана еще в 14 веке по приказу сановника Адзоне Висконти. Площадь имела вид прямоугольника и постепенно застраивалась зданиями, над созданием которых в разные эпохи трудились самые известные архитекторы Милана. Свой актуальный вид Соборная площадь получила благодаря архитектору Джузеппе Менгони, работавшему над реставрацией площади с 1859 по 1877 год, а также архитектору Порталуппи. Последний выполнил в 1929 году строительство новой паперти у Миланского кафедрального собора и мостового покрытия.
