Double entendre. Reflections of course meaning those in the water here but also because this was my first trip away alone in 2 months (not the 1 month I thought). It allowed me to think about my recovery, where I am now compared to not so long ago, about the next steps, basically reflect on my life. Even my photography, because I was in such a rut with it. This trip allowed me to think more clearly about so much and funny enough, I got one of my favourite photos out of it.
At over 500 years old, the Fuli Bridge is yet another ancient stone bridge which can be found in the countryside around Yangshuo, China.

Just photographing a painting in a museum is not very challenging....and not very interesting to look at if you just stand in front of it and point the camera directly at it. That's why I try to make the picture more interesting (and challenging for me) by including the surroundings.
Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!
The Janike-khanym mausoleum is an almost completely preserved mausoleum of the 15th century. - a fine example of "Seljuk" architecture. It is a monumental octagonal structure under a tiled roof, decorated with carved columns along the edges of the edges. It is adjoined by a carved portal with a massive arch, and an Arabic calligraphic inscription is carved at the entrance: these are hadith texts, in which, among other things, there are the words "This world is a dwelling of vanity, but the future life is eternal." In the depths of the mausoleum, on a stepped elevation, one can see a tombstone decorated with an elegant, like ornament, Arabic inscription: "This is the tomb of the great empress Janike-khanym, daughter of Tokhtamysh-khan, who died in the month of Ramadan in 841 (1437)."

Мавзолей Джанике-ханым — почти полностью сохранившийся мавзолей XV в. — прекрасный образец «сельджукской» архитектуры. Это монументальное восьмигранное сооружение под черепичной крышей, украшенное по ребрам граней резными колонками. К нему примыкает покрытый резьбой портал с массивной аркой, а у входа высечена арабская каллиграфическая надпись: это тексты хадисов, в которых, среди прочего, встречаются слова «Этот мир есть жилище суеты, будущая же жизнь вечна». В глубине мавзолея на ступенчатом возвышении видно надгробие, украшенное изящной, словно орнамент, арабской надписью: «Это гробница великой государыни Джанике-ханым, дочери Тохтамыш-хана, скончавшейся месяца рамазана 841 года (1437)».

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.

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 Shwedagon Pagoda is one of the most famous pagodas in the world and it is certainly the main attraction of Yangon, Myanmar’s capital city.
The formal name of the Shwedagon Pagoda is Shwedagon Zedi Daw, which translates as The Great Golden Mountain Stupa. Nothing could be nearer to the truth, the stupa is plated with nearly 22,000 solid gold bars, it’s set with over 5500 diamonds, the main spire boasts 2300 rubies, sapphires, and other gems, and 4000 golden bells… not forgetting the largest of which is a whopping 72 carat diamond.

The 'Judges Chair' in Dunnabridge Pound. A granite built structure which is believed to have been built in the 16th century to provide shelter for the pound keeper. It is close to the B3357 road between Two Bridges and Dartmeet in the Dartmoor National Park.
Ref: www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM134B_Judges_Chair_Dunnabrid... "No one knows for sure why this 'chair' is called the Judge's Chair, some say it's linked with the Stannary Court at Crockern Tor which is not far away. The purpose of the Judge's Chair was to provide shelter for the pound keeper. His role was to oversee animals that were driven to the pound following the drifts and to collect any necessary fines from their owners.
Drifts were a round-up of livestock who had illegally grazed within the Forest of Dartmoor."
It is also said that the last pound keeper, Miss Dinah Tuckett was a formidable character, barring the gate and refusing to release any animal before the fine crossed her palm.
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.

El Asahi Beer Hall es uno de los edificios más singulares y característicos de la zona de Asakusa en Tokio. Como su nombre ya indica, este edificio de 22 pisos es la sede de la cervecera Asahi.
Fue construido en el siglo XIX por el General Hugo (padre del escritor Víctor Hugo) durante la Guerra de la Independencia (1808 -1814), con el objetivo de abrir un hueco por el recinto amurallado para conquistar el castillo de la Piedra Bermeja.
Tolga Convent was founded in 1314 on the left bank of the Volga river, on the place of miraculous appearance of the Tolga Icon of the Mother of God. Against all odds of history, beginning with Mongol Yoke, Tolga Convent emerged from ruins and desolation and nowadays attracts thousands of pilgrims. The convent is located not far from Yaroslavl; on the left bank of the river Volga, at the place of confluence of a small river Tolgobolka (or Tolga) into Volga. White stone walls with high angle towers, cathedrals with multiple heads, glaring golden domes and crosses and a predominating massive bell-tower form one magnificent harmonious structure, captivating eyes of those travelling along Volga. The cedar grove has been planted here in the 16th century to commemorate the miraculous appearance of the icon after fire.
Епископ Прохор, возвращаясь по Волге в Ярославль из Белозерья, 7 августа 1314 года вместе с бывшими при нем священниками остановился ночевать на правом берегу Волги в 8 верстах от Ярославля. В полночь он увидел на противоположном берегу сияющий огненный столп и мост к нему. Утром 8 августа там была обретена икона Пресвятой Богородицы. На этом месте святитель начал строить церковь. В начале XV века здесь произошел пожар. Сгорели кельи, ограда, пламя мгновенно объяло и церковь. Спасти из церковной утвари ничего не удалось. Но когда огонь потух, святую икону обрели вне монастыря, в лесу, совершенно невредимую и сияющую светом. В Смутное время Толгская обитель была полностью разорена, но чудотворная икона уцелела. 1612 год отмечен в летописи монастыря древнейшим из известных крестных ходов с Толгской иконой Богородицы в Ярославль, назначенный тогда сборным пунктом для народных ополчений, собиравшихся для спасения Москвы и Русского государства.

Khan el-Khalili (Arabic: خان الخليلي) is a famous bazaar and souq (or souk) in the historic center of Cairo, Egypt. The bazaar district is one of Cairo's main attractions for tourists and Egyptians alike. It is also home to many Egyptian artisans and workshops involved in the production of traditional crafts and souvenirs.
Cairo itself was originally founded in 969 CE as a royal city and capital for the Fatimid Caliphate. Gawhar al-Siqilli, the general who had just conquered Egypt for the Fatimids, ordered the construction of a great palace complex to house the caliphs, their household, and the state's institutions. The site of Khan el-Khalili today was originally the southern end of the eastern Great Fatimid Palace, as well as the location of the burial site of the Fatimid caliphs.
