The history of this church is documented as early as the 10th century. The present name derives from a Norman confraternity that rebuilt the church, and dedicated it to the Virgin of the Annunciation. The Ottimati were a congregation of nobles founded by the Normans. Over time, these included the Filocamo, Griso, Altavilla and Borboni. Церковь Оттимати была построена в византийском стиле, примерно в X веке в центре Реджо, на Замковой площади, совсем рядом со старинным замком. Потом с приходом сюда норманнов добавились детали, свойственные новой эпохе. В 1594 году, во время вторжения сарацинов, церковь была подожжена и сильно повреждена.

The Khan's Palace in Bakhchisaray was built in the 16th century and served as a residence for a succession of Crimean Khans. The Crimean Khanate was a Turkic vassal state of the Ottoman Empire from 1478 to 1774 -- the longest-lived of the Turkic khanates that succeeded the empire of the Golden Horde.

Строительство дворца началось при Менгли-Гирее I в 1503 г. параллельно с новой Ханской столицей, к этому периоду времени относится возведение Демир-Капы. Но основные работы по его созданию велись в период правления Сахиб-Гирея I: с 1532 по 1551 гг. было построено большинство прекрасных зданий.
Однако говорить, что возведение его закончили незадолго до смерти Сахиб-Гирея, было бы неправильно. Фактически каждый из ханов добавлял что-то свое – так и продолжалось до ликвидации Крымского ханства в 1785 г. Во время русско-турецкой войны 1735-1739 гг. в 1736 г. Бахчисарай был взят русскими войсками, а ханская резиденция сожжена по приказу фельдмаршала Миниха.

The main facade of the palace
The white-stone Livadia Palace, which served as a summer residence for Russian emperors in the 19th - 20th centuries, is not just the most beautiful architectural installation of Crimea’s southern coast, but also an important historical monument. Here, Allied leaders defined the fate of the post-WWII world.
The history of the palace began in 1834, when Polish magnate Lev Potockiy bought the tiny Livadia village near Yalta and built his mansion here. Thirty years later, emperor Alexander II bought the mansion and made it his summer residence. On the tsar’s orders, the house was rebuilt and turned into a real imperial palace.
By the beginning of the 20th century, the palace became decrepit and emperor Nicholas II, the palace’s master at the time, ordered it to be destroyed and a new palace to be built. Yalta’s architect Nikolay Krasnov was given the project, and he created a real architectural masterpiece, which blended harmoniously with the picturesque landscape.
Livadia Palace was built in Italian Neo-Renaissance style; however, Byzantine, Eastern and Gothic motifs were also added to it.
Александр II подыскивал место, которое можно было бы превратить в нечто вроде санатория для его больной туберкулезом жены. В 1861 году владение Потоцкого было выкуплено казной. И.А. Монигетти, а затем А.Г. Венсан перестроили дом Потоцкого, построили отдельный дворец для наследника престола и прочих царских родственников, Свитский дом, Крестовоздвиженскую церковь и еще ряд зданий.
В виде, обретенном при батюшке, имение очень нравилось императору Александру III, который и умер здесь в 1894 г. Впрочем, этот царь предпочитал жить во дворце наследника, а главное здание использовал для официальных целей.
В 1910 году старый Большой дворец был снесен. По проекту Н.П. Краснова за 17 месяцев на его месте появилось новое здание, прозванное из-за цвета камня Белым дворцом.
В 1925 г. бывшая царская резиденция была превращена в санаторий для больных туберкулезом, преимущественно крестьян. Пациенты тут не только лечились, но и учились – работали курсы ликвидации безграмотности, читались лекции по истории, экономике, политике, а также агрономии и другим сельскохозяйственным дисциплинам.
Гитлеровцы во время оккупации ограбили комплекс нещадно – были вывезены как исторические ценности, так и лечебное оборудование санатория. При отступлении оккупанты подорвали дворец наследника.
Однако советское руководство обеспечило настолько быстрое восстановление, что в феврале 1945 г. Ливадия стала основной площадкой для проведения Ялтинской конференции лидеров стран антифашистской коалиции. И.В. Сталин разместил высоких гостей в лучших крымских дворцах.

Kwun Tong Garden Estate (Chinese: 觀塘花園大廈), or Garden Estate (Chinese: 花園大廈), is a public housing estate in Ngau Tau Kok, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong, developed by the Hong Kong Housing Society, near the MTR Kwun Tong Line's Ngau Tau Kok Station. It is the largest Housing Society estate by number of flats (4,921). It was the first public housing estate in Kwun Tong District. It comprises five blocks built in 1965 and 1967 respectively, plus Lotus Tower (Chinese: 玉蓮臺), which comprises four blocks built on the site of the earliest Garden Estate blocks. Kwun Tong Garden Estate was built by the Hong Kong Housing Society between the 1950s and 1960s to accommodate the workers working in the industrial area on the newly reclaimed land along Kwun Tong harbourfront. 7 blocks of Phase 1 were completed in 1958 and 1959, while 5 blocks of Phase 2 were completed in 1965 and 1967. To cope with the redevelopment project of the estate, Phase 1 blocks were demolished in 1983 and 1987 respectively. They were replaced by the blocks of Lotus Tower built in 1987 (Block 4) and 1990 (Block 1 to 3) respectively.

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.
Деревянная приходская церковь Воскресения уже стояла на месте собора к 1629 году. В 1655 году была написана чудотворная икона Шуйской-Смоленской Божьей Матери иконописцем из Шуи, Герасимом Иконниковым. В 1667 году была возведена каменная церковь взамен деревянной, но сгорела в 1710 году. Строительство современного храма продолжалось в 1792-98 годах на средства прихожан. 19 сентября 1799 года епископ Владимирский и Суздальский Виктор освятил собор. Уцелевший во время пожаров чудотворный образ был перенесён в храм.
Under Trajan's rule, the Roman empire reached the peak of its power. During his 20 years rule, Trajan was often concerned with public works. The most notable were public baths, of which little survives, and a new commercial quarter known as Trajan's Market, created by cutting away the slope of the Quirinal Hill. A fascinating and complex structure, utilitarian but possessing an austere monumental beauty, the market hosted more than 150 shops and offices on three levels connected by streets.
FAFE (Portugal): Casa do Penedo.
Casa construída nos anos 70 (terminada em 1974) a partir do aproveitamento de quatro rochas. As paredes externas foram revestidas com pedregulhos, semelhantes às rochas originais.
A casa tem dois pisos. No primeiro há uma sala e uma pequena cozinha. No andar de cima, uma casa de banho e três quartos. Tudo bem pequeno, inclusive as camas, para caber no espaço deixado pelas pedras.
A classic shot of the Huisman Musterd #Mill over at the Zaanse Schans in Zaandam, the Netherlands. Zaanse Mustard is a well known product in the Netherlands and this windmill had definitely contributed to the reputation of it. This composition is similar to an earlier posted blue hour portrait version. I just love how the evening light bounces off the side of the shed in this image. This is what makes the shot work for me, how about you?
