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.

A couple of weeks ago I went out with fellow photographer, Monica Ramanathan, to photograph Petco Park. We chose an evening where the Padres were playing at home so the stadium would be illuminated. Since that time, the San Diego Padres have clinched a postseason berth during a full-length season for the first time since 2006! I guess I need to photograph Petco Park more often to help the Padres win, but unfortunately, they will be playing on the road for the start of the National League playoffs. Favorite, share, comment.

Ford's Theatre, at 511 10th Street NW, which had been used for various stage performances beginning in the 1860's, is most famous for being the site of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. After being shot, the fatally wounded President was carried across the street to the Petersen House, where he died the next morning. The theatre and house are preserved together as Ford's Theatre National Historic Site.
The site was originally a house of worship, constructed in 1833 as the First Baptist Church of Washington. In 1861, after the congregation relocated to a newly built structure, John T. Ford bought the former church and renovated it into a theatre. He first called it Ford's Athenaeum. It was destroyed by fire in 1862, and was rebuilt, opening the following year as Ford's New Theatre.
Just five days after General Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House, Lincoln sat in the "State Box" watching Our American Cousin. A well-known actor, John Wilkes Booth, desperate to aid the dying Confederacy, stepped into the box and shot Lincoln in the back of the head. He then jumped onto the stage, and cried out "Sic semper tyrannis" just before escaping through the alley.
Following Lincoln’s death, the public demanded the closure of the Theatre. The United States Government seized the building, with Congress paying Ford $100,000 in compensation, and an order was issued forever prohibiting its use as a place of public amusement. The theatre was eventually taken over by the U.S. military and served as the home of the War Department records on the first floor, the Library of the Surgeon General's Office on the second floor, and the Army Medical Museum, during the period 1866-1887. In 1887 the medical uses were eliminated and it became a War Department clerk's office. The front part of the building collapsed on June 9, 1893, and killed 22 of those clerks, injuring another 68. The building was repaired and used as a government warehouse until 1931.
Along with the Peterson House, it was transferred from the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks of the National Capital to the National Park Service in 1933 and sat unused until 1954, when Congress approved funds for restoration, which was completed in 1968. Since then, Ford's Theatre has been both an active theatre presenting plays and musicals and a museum containing portions of the Olroyd Collection of Lincolniana. On display are multiple items related to the assassination, including the Derringer pistol used to carry out the shooting, Booth's diary, Lincoln's coat and blood-stained pillow, and the original door to Lincoln's theatre box.

Todo Paris está en obras para las olimpiadas de 2024, pero de noche no se ven tanto los andamios.

For a very short time, when the lights of the Chain Bridge pillars are just warming up - they are green in color . After a few moments the pillars are illuminated with the regular, yellowish colored light.Traffic flows through the bridge and the Clarck Adam roundabout at the blue hour in Budapest, Hungary.
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.
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 soldier's barracks at Fort Larned National Historic Site near Larned, Ks. in Pawnee County. Fort Larned was established to protect travelers, trail commerce, and the mail on the Sante Fe Trail. The fort complex consists of nine buildings arranged around a 400 ft. square parade ground.
There is a weekly market in Sineu. It is said to be one, if not the biggest. For sure it attracts many people, primarily tourists. If you take it upon yourself to get up a little earlier, you don't exactly have the market to yourself, but it is still quiet and less touristy. Also in the church, which watches over the village in the middle of the hustle and bustle, it is even more tranquil. And also the seller just outside the church has some time to read.
Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!
The fort was constructed on the site of an ancient watchtower and construction began in 1556 under the direction King John III who wished to have the mouth of the Tagus river sufficiently protected from invaders.
The fortress was used as a political prison both at the end of the Portuguese monarchy and during the Salazar dictatorship with prisoners held in awful conditions.
The structure was constructed primary for defence and lacks any artistic beauty with the solid walls constructed from drab stone and masonry plaster.
the interplay of shadows and people, both realistic and figurative, occurred at the main church in pollença on a sunday morning in winter.

The cathedral in St. Gall is beautiful and richly decorated with frescos. As one of other numerous visitors to the church, it is almost impossible to capture it in their full glory in a photo. So I stuck to the details that are perhaps often overlooked.
But whenever you are in St. Gallen, make sure to step into the cathedral and admire it in all its glory. And especially the craftsmanship of the builders.

The villages of Santorini Greece are considered among the most beautiful villages in the Greek islands. Fira is one of the most famous village, perched on the edge of the caldera and giving amazing view to the Aegean Sea.
I have always loved this housing estate in Kowloon Bay. It is especially beautiful at dusk.

After a rainy afternoon in Paris. The clouds finally broke away and left us with these beautiful puddles reflecting the Eiffel Towers iconic glow.
The Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel, [tuʁ ɛfɛl], nickname La dame de fer, the iron lady) is a wrought iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. Built in 1889, it has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest building in Paris[10] and the most-visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair.
The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to assume the title of the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930. However, due to the addition, in 1957, of the antenna atop the Eiffel Tower, it is now taller than the Chrysler Building. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France, after the Millau Viaduct.
The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend, by stairs or lift, to the first and second levels. The walk from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. The third and highest level is accessible only by elevator. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants.
The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.
It's a very lucky day for me to take a picture and meet the sky. Really happy
This picture I took before sunset and came to hide with another picture when I opened the building at night.
Dusk hours with their warm colors, doubled by the lake reflection, could turn urban sterile and overly aesthetically designed into a pleasant place.
