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.
The "Pont de pierre" in French, or "Stone Bridge" in English, is a bridge in Bordeaux, (in the Gironde department of France), which connects the left bank of the Garonne River to the right bank. It is 487 m in length and 19 m wide.
Это самый большой храм в Пестум и лучше всего сохранившийся. Построенный примерно в середине пятого века до нашей эры, она воплощает в себе классические черты греческой архитектуры храма
UNA MIRADA AL RETIRO
La Casita del Pescador es uno de los caprichos que el rey Fernando VII promovió en el Reservado del Parque del Retiro o zona que delimitó del uso público, para su uso personal y el de su familia. Las obras se iniciaron en 1817. La casa fue emplazada sobre la isla central de un estanque donde se podía pescar.
A LOOK AT THE RETIRO´S PARK
The Fisherman's House is one of the whims that King Ferdinand VII promoted in the Retiro Park Reserve or area that he delimited from public use, for his personal use and that of his family. The works began in 1817. The house was located on the central island of a pond where it was possible to fish.

Está construida de los huesos de más de 1.000 frailes carmelitas y en la puerta hay una inscripción que dice: Pára aquí a considerar que a este estado hás-de chegar.
Likely built between the 6th and the 9th century, at first it welcomed a community of Basilian monks. In the 11th century, it was passed on to the Benedictines, who still own it today, under the Abbey of Montecassino. Бывший монастырь 4-го века на вершине святилища острова Санта-Мария.

"L'oeil de verre" is a panorama I took at "la défense" in Paris.
Construida entre los siglos X y XII, era la entrada a la antigua fortaleza amurallada. En la actualidad forma parte de la Iglesia del pueblo y solamente se abre en ciertas ocasiones.
The magnificent fortress of Le Castella is located on the eastern end of the Gulf of Squillace in the province of Crotone. To be precise, in Isola di Capo Rizzuto looking out over the protected marine reserve of the same name. You don't need much imagination to see the Aragonese soldiers locked in combat with Turkish pirates five centuries ago.Точный век основание Ле Кастелла неизвестен, возможно, ее возвели в период Великой Греции. Впоследствии крепость претерпела целый ряд изменений и модификаций, наибольшие из них произошли в период Арагонского правления.
Tiriolo fu fondato, si dice, dai greci circa 600 anni prima della guerra contro Troia, Tryoros da cui il suo nome dai 3 monti che lo circondano. È possibile che venne fondato in questo punto per la sua grande posizione strategica; si dice anche che qui si sia fermato Ulisse e che il suo territorio sia la terra dei Feaci. La popolazione originaria era composta da greci, fino a quando il sito, circa intorno al 500 a.C., venne conquistato dalla popolazione di stirpe indoeuropea detti Brettii o Bruzi e perse i contatti con la madre-patria, la Grecia

Thank you to everybody that views, comments and for favouring my images. Always greatly appreciated.
In Infra Red. According to the Daresbury Heritage group this building is called the round chevaral and is used as a control area for the Vyrnwy Aqueduct which passes under here taking Welsh water to Liverpool. Rumour has it that it is also used to make Bombay Sapphire Gin. In the distance are the cooling towers of the Fidler’s Ferry power station.

This is a 30s long exposure shot of the Harbour Authority building in Antwerpen, Belgium. The top extension to the building was designed by Zaha Hadid. I used the Canon 17mm TS-E lens.
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.

Colegiata Santa María la Mayor de Toro, Zamora, España
Iglesia de estilo románico-gótico. Su construcción se llevó a cabo desde el último tercio del siglo XII. Posee tres naves y crucero rematado por un cimborrio, y su portada septentrional es una de las más notables aportaciones del románico de los siglos XII y XIII.
Se pueden distinguir dos épocas: un primer maestro utiliza piedra caliza clara, creando un estilo románico evolucionado; y el segundo maestro, que finaliza la construcción y cubre el templo, que emplea piedra arenisca rojiza y elementos arquitectónicos románicos menos evolucionados.
Son significativas las portadas. La portada norte de la Colegiata de Toro nos muestra al Cristo en Majestad junto a la Virgen, San Juan y los 24 ancianos de la Apocalipsis, en una representación del Juicio Final.
Collegiate Church Santa María la Mayor de Toro, Zamora, Spain
Romanesque-Gothic style church. Its construction was carried out from the last third of the 12th century. It has three naves and a transept topped by a dome, and its northern doorway is one of the most remarkable contributions of Romanesque architecture from the 12th and 13th centuries.
Two periods can be distinguished: a first master uses light limestone, creating an evolved Romanesque style; and the second master, which completes the construction and covers the temple, which uses reddish sandstone and less evolved Romanesque architectural elements.
The covers are significant. The north portal of the Collegiate Church of Toro shows us Christ in Majesty together with the Virgin, Saint John and the 24 elders of the Apocalypse, in a representation of the Final Judgment.
The house of Baron Fredericks (the official name until 1917 - "ministerial house with apartments for ladies") was erected in 1901–1902. Petersburg architect Alfred Avgustovich Biber. The three-storey building is designed in the so-called Baltic Art Nouveau style. On the western and south-western facades, metal decorations have been preserved - lattices, brackets, elements of awnings. There were several apartments inside, the largest of which belonged to Vladimir Borisovich Fredericks
Дом барона Фредерикса (официальное название до 1917 г. – «министерский дом с квартирами фрейлин») был возведен в 1901–1902 гг. петербургским архитектором Альфредом Августовичем Бибером. Трехэтажное здание выдержано в стиле так называемого «прибалтийского модерна». На западном и юго-западном фасадах сохранились металлические украшения – решетки, кронштейны, элементы навесов. Внутри было несколько квартир, самая большая из которых принадлежала Владимиру Борисовичу Фредериксу
