The imperial war museum, currently exhibiting about the troubles in Northern Ireland. I wanted to present it in a moody way to represent my and I'm sure many others view of war.
Looking up the steep wall of Neuchâtel Castle against a blue sky with some clouds. Can you see the clouds move, if you look at them for a longer period of time?
The most characteristic chimneys were built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, with some being much older. It is not known exactly when this trend began, except that the chimney was the trademark of the master who built the house.

The seventeenth and early eighteenth century saw a revolution in farm buildings. An increase in prosperity made it possible to convert drafty wooden barns into sturdy stone built structures for animal shelter and crop storage. This landscape demonstrates the shift from wood to stone.
Palma de Mallorca has a lot to offer. Aside from the obvious sights that you can't miss, especially if you're following the tourist flow, it's always worth leaving the main streets for the smaller, quieter streets and looking left and right. Many beautiful details can only be glimpsed in this way.

Anexo a la iglesia y utilizado para dar sepultura entre los siglos XIII Y XV, servía para comunicar todas las partes del monasterio. Uno de los más originales del románico español
Ba Na Hills resort is located nearly 1,500 meters above sea level and roughly half an hour west of the central Vietnamese city of Da Nang.
Ba Na Hills resort was discovered by the French in the late nineteenth century. They have built here many large villas, sports grounds and a range of restaurants. For nearly a century, war and time have made this place gradually desolate. Yet, since the end of the twentieth century, Ba Na Hills has been woken up with the efforts of local authorities and people there. This scenic area is being upgraded and expanded.

The land upon which the castle is constructed was purchased by the oil industrialist P. L. Steingel (nephew of the famous Russian railroad builder Baron Rudolf Steingel, a German nobleman who had made a fortune extracting oil in Baku. Baron von Steingel adored the Gothic architectural style, so he ordered the prominent Russian architect Leonid Sherwood to use the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany as an example for the new construction, but to make the building even more fairytale-like.
The available land only measured 20 x 10 meters, so the castle was built up high with turrets, spires and open battlements. Inside the main tower, there were 2 tiny bedrooms. The living room, with a large fireplace and stairs, were brought closer to the “shore” for security reasons. Sherwood made a beautiful toy “copy” of the Gothic Rhine castles but did not take into account that large grottoes were located under the cliff. Behind the balconies, at the edge of the cliff, there was originally a garden, but in 1927 an earthquake occurred, and the rock upon which the castle stood broke: the garden fell into the sea, and one main tower was almost completely destroyed.
The next large-scale reconstruction took place in the 1960s. Originally it was proposed that the castle be dismantled brick by brick and moved “to the mainland”, however, this idea was abandoned. The Soviet architect Tatiev was responsible for the eventual reconstruction and the Swallow’s Nest was “rebuilt” with the entire castle being dismantled with each brick numbered and then reassembled on an earthquake-resistant slab placed on top of the rock.
Известный всем небольшой замок на вершине скалы в поселке Гаспра, недалеко от Ялты, построен в 1911 году архитектором А. Шервудом по заказу барона Ф. Штейнгеля. Известный нефтепромышленник хотел придать своей даче образ рыцарского замка и даже дал название «Генералиф», что означает «замок любви». Однако это название не прижилось. Архитектор построил дачу-замок в готическом стиле, добавив в убранство фасада аркатурные фризы, декоративные башенки, зубчатое завершение стен.
Размер постройки совсем не велик: ширина 10 метров, длина 20 метров, а высота 12 метров. Столь величественным здание делает, безусловно, его местоположение, ведь высота скалы, на которой оно расположено, — более 40 метров. Внутри дома разместились прихожая, гостиная с большими окнами, лестница, ведущая на башню, и две спальни.
Барон В. Штейнгель продал дом в 1914 году и уехал из России. Новый хозяин открыл в «Ласточкином гнезде» ресторан, который успешно работал.
Угроза над постройкой нависла во время землетрясения 1927 года, когда обрушилась часть скалы. К счастью, здание устояло, но была частично разрушена башня и пострадала смотровая площадка. В последующие годы здесь размещался красный уголок дома-отдыха, читальный зал, а затем столовая, пока здание не опустело из-за аварийного состояния.
Реконструкция началась в 1968 году и продлилась три года; под основание «Ласточкиного гнезда» была подведена монолитная железобетонная труба, были восстановлены архитектурные элементы наружного декора.

Pizzo, also called Pizzo Calabro, is a seaport and comune in the province of Vibo Valentia (Calabria, southern Italy), situated on a steep cliff overlooking the Gulf of Santa Eufemia.
What a great design! Within the venerable old walls that have been left standing all around, Jean Nouvel has created a modern masterpiece. Old meets modern! An absolutely great transformation of the old building into a functional modern opera house.
The semicircular dome bends over the walls and above the building bends the firmament.
