La Napoule Castle is a castle located in France in the town of Mandelieu-la-Napoule in the Alpes-Maritimes region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
Built in the fourteenth century by the Counts of Villeneuve on the road from the waterfront, the castle and its gardens are listed historic monuments by order of 6 January 19471 and the park is labeled "Remarkable Garden".
Matheson Hammock Park is a 630 acres urban park in metropolitan Miami at 9610 Old Cutler Road, just south of Coral Gables, Florida. The park surrounds the north and western ends of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.
Matheson Hammock opened in 1930 as the first county park of Dade County, a gift of 80 acres to the county from William J. Matheson. Originally administered by the county's first director of public parks, A. D. Barnes, and designed by the landscape architect William Lyman Phillips, today it is owned and managed by Miami-Dade County.
Matheson wanted the land to be used as a park "to preserve the wild and natural beauty." It grew with further donations by the Matheson heirs, purchases by county commissioner Charles Crandon, and other donations to its current 630 acres. Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) crews were assigned to Matheson Hammock in 1936 and began to develop the Bayfront park area. Coral stone buildings rose and the picnic area had a coral stone shelter.
Without the use of the inexpensive and skilled labor force under the state and federal assistance programs, it would have been impossible to build the miles of carefully hewn coral-stone walls and native stone buildings. The quality of the CCC's work was verified in 1945 when a hurricane resulted in 12-foot waves rolling over Matheson Hammock, causing immense damage to equipment and furnishings, and depositing layers of mud and trash in the park, but the basic CCC structures stood firm and the park recovered.
(The Civilian Conservation Corps-built structures have served as a gateway for Texans' interactions with the outdoors for decades. Though many visitors might not give a second thought to a park's architecture, the CCC buildings are the product of an architectural vision of people and nature and how they interact.)

La ciudad alegre. Cuentan que la costumbre de recurrir al coloreado de las fachadas surgió, entre los pescadores, como una necesidad para identificar su hogar.
La cabecera románica es el elemento arquitectónico más antiguo y está formada por tramo recto y ábside. Al exterior presenta tres arcos de medio punto con capiteles decorados. Se unen los tres a través de una imposta taqueada que recorre todo el hemiciclo.
It was almost two years ago when i was for a couple of days in Kuwait city.
Wow it was so hot that it was not even possible to get wet from the sweat because it would evaporate instantly, I believe it was 49° or 50°C on one of those days.

The Big Khan Mosque is located on the Palace Square to the east of the northern gate. It is one of the largest mosques in the Crimea and one of the first buildings of the Khan's palace. The mosque was built in 1532 by Sahib I Giray and bore his name in the 17th century.
In 1736 the mosque was damaged by fire and later restored during the reign of Khan Selameta Giray.
Большая Ханская мечеть является одним из главных символов Бахчисарая. Построенная в 1532 году при Сахибе I Герае, она до сих пор считается одной из крупнейших мечетей Крымского полуострова.
Внушительное сооружение со стрельчатой аркадой и майоликовыми вставками венчает четырехскатная черепичная крыша. Своды внутреннего зала поддерживают высокие колонны, а на южной стене мечети расположены красивые витражные окна и михраб.
По периметру верхнего яруса проходит широкий балкон, или хоры, где можно увидеть великолепную Ханскую ложу, также украшенную витражами и узорами. В Ханскую ложу со двора ведет отдельный вход. Большая Ханская мечеть имеет два островерхих десятигранных минарета, достигающих в высоту 28 метров. Крыши минаретов венчают бронзовые полумесяцы.
В 50-е годы XVIII столетия во дворе мечети работало медресе, не сохранившееся до наших дней. В советское время Ханская мечеть была закрыта, а ее помещения использовались под музей и лапидарий. И лишь недавно мечеть была вновь возвращена верующим.
