St. Joseph’s Cathedral is the oldest church in Hanoi, with construction beginning in 1886, and the design intending to emulate its Parisian counterpart (Notre-Dame de Paris). The cathedral was built in Gothic Revival-style, built of granite slabs and gorgeous stained glass windows shipped to Hanoi from France. The exterior, however, is being seriously worn down, as pollution is a severe issue in Vietnam’s capital city.

The Ascension Monastery was founded in 1690 by the bishop of Tambov and Kozlovski, St. Pitirim, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful mansions in the diocese of Tambov. The monastery is located on the northern outskirts of the city at the mouth of Alexander Hawrushka Studentsov and the rivers, and his first abbess was the sister of Bishop Pitirim, Catherine. The fate of the rich monastery was burning, and was then rebuilt, where it maintained its fertile icon within its walls, and was closed for a long period during Soviet power, which revived in the 20th century. But everything began peacefully and as in many other Russian monasteries, the poor were gradually expanded and rebuilt for several centuries. Initially, in its territory 18 cells of the nuns have been built, this was a simple hut of wood, there was not even church or clergy. The monastery received full-time status on the reform of Catherine II in 1764, since the sum of the contents did not reach 375 rubles. The first stone church of the Ascension of the Lord was established a hundred years later, those of the monastery in 1791. In 1816 was laid the first stone of the second church of the monastery. It was truly glorious days when they arrived at the monastery in the first half of the 19th century, where the nun Miropiya (Adenkova in the world) settled. It is from its name that it is associated with the exaltation of the miraculous Vyshenskii (Kazan) of the icon of the Virgin.
Тамбовский Вознесенский женский основан в 1690 году епископом Тамбовским и Козловским, святителем Питиримом. Монастырь расположился на северной окраине города в устье рек Студенца и Гаврюшки (сейчас — пересечение улиц имени Бориса Васильева и Московской). Первой игуменьей обители стала родная сестра владыки Питирима — Екатерина. Акты и грамоты об основании обители сгорели во время пожара 1724 года. Возродился монастырь только к 1744 году, тогда же была возведена монастырская стена. Как и во многих русских обителях, становление Вознесенского монастыря проходило в бедности, расширялся и отстраивался он постепенно, на протяжении нескольких веков. Сначала на его территории появились 18 келий для насельниц — простые деревянные избы, не было поначалу ни собственного храма, ни причта. Во время реформы Екатерины II в 1764 году монастырь получил статус штатного, третьеклассного, с суммой содержания в 375 рублей. Первая каменная церковь обители во имя Вознесения Господня была заложена в 1791 году в южной части монастыря.
Ribblehead Viaduct in North Yorkshire, UK. Such an imposing structure set in bleak surroundings and surprisingly hard to find an an agreeable composition. As soon as I saw the stone wall and fence posts I knew there was an interesting composition to be worked. After several minor position adjustments I finally hit the sweet spot and found this most agreeable image.

The Varberg Radio Station at Grimeton in southern Sweden (built 1922–24) is an exceptionally well-preserved monument to early wireless transatlantic communication. It consists of the transmitter equipment, including the aerial system of six 127-m high steel towers. Although no longer in regular use, the equipment has been maintained in operating condition. The 109.9-ha site comprises buildings housing the original Alexanderson transmitter, including the towers with their antennae, short-wave transmitters with their antennae, and a residential area with staff housing. The architect Carl Åkerblad designed the main buildings in the neoclassical style and the structural engineer Henrik Kreüger was responsible for the antenna towers, the tallest built structures in Sweden at that time. The site is an outstanding example of the development of telecommunications and is the only surviving example of a major transmitting station based on pre-electronic technology.

Now-deserted lighthouse on the southmost point of Sakhalin island was bulit in 1939 by japanese. It really looks like some kind of fairy-tale castle, especially when approached from the sea during the foggy weather. It is a well-built structure, with polished concrete walls inside - it was serviced until 90ies i think, and worked as an automated lighthouse for some time as well (fuelled with some kind of nuclear batteries). Not safe to climb, but you still want to look inside.

The Buonconsiglio Castle, splendid residence of the Prince Bishops and symbol of the city of Trento, is made up of different parts built in different ages: an older one, called Castelvecchio, includes Torre Aquila, with the frescoes of the Cycle of the Months, a masterpiece of Gothic art that takes us to the heart of courtly and peasant life at the end of the 14th century. Then there is a Renaissance part, the Magno Palazzo, commissioned by the Prince Bishop Bernardo Cles and richly frescoed, while another wing of the palace, the Giunta Albertiana, is from the Baroque age. During the First World War the trial against the irredentists Cesare Battisti, Fabio Filzi and Damiano Chiesa was held here.
Мощная цитадель с толстыми стенами, окнами-бойницами, оборонительными башнями, подъемным мостом – типичное строение XIII века в романском стиле. Внутри находились подземелья и камеры пыток. Через 200 лет была надстроена высокая Орлина башня (Torre dell’Aquila) – веяние готики; внутренние росписи башни – сцены времен года – ценнейший памятник готического искусства. В XVI в. к крепости был пристроен Парадный дворец (Magno Palazzo): фронтоны, галереи с колоннадами, росписи на темы античных сюжетов – это уже Ренессанс. Новая пристройка к замку – La Giunta Albertiana с элементами барокко была сделана в XVII.

In 1892, on a picturesque climbing cliff - a red rock - at an altitude of 400 m above sea level, the foros church was laid. A church was built on the means of owner of the estate of the form, "Tea King" A.G. Kuznetsov in memory of "wonderful" events on October 17, 1888 at the Kursko-Kharkov Bil Station railwayWhen, during the crash, the royal family remained unharmed.
The place for the construction was chosen the most picturesque: the church was built on the red color of a sheer cliff, ripped away from the main array, surrounded by the greens of the forests. She seems to soar between heaven and earth.
The project developed an architect N.M. Chagin. The church was built in the Byzantine temple style, which is distinguished by a special technique of masonry from wide flat brick-dlinges and using numerous domes by type of Russian wooden temples. With her silhouette church reminds Moscow Churches of the late XVIII century.
Церковь Воскресения Христова была построена после железнодорожной катастрофы на станции Борки, в которую попал император Александр III со своей семьёй. К счастью, никто из членов императорской семьи не пострадал. Такое чудесное спасение стало поводом для возведения нового храма. Церковь Воскресения Христова была построена в 1892 году. Для ее возведения понадобилось четыре года. Оба яруса Церкви Воскресения Христова возведены в стиле византийских построек, а материалом послужил белый инкерманский камень. Девять куполов имеют разные размеры, что очень напоминает российские церкви ⅩⅦ столетия. Украшает церковь крыльцо, расписанное узорами, и стремящаяся высоко вверх колокольня. Использованный в строительстве каррарский мрамор, а также разноцветные витражи, придавали храму торжественность и нарядность.

The Bridge of Sighs’ name is based on a legend, which says that in Serenissima’s time the prisoners, crossing the bridge, sighing at the standpoint of seeing for the last time the outside world. However, the legend is totally unfounded, partly because there is almost nothing to see from that angle.
The name sighs indicate only the last breath of the prisoners in the free world because, once convicted in the kingdom of Dogi they never could go back.
The emblem displayed on the bridge shows that it was built in between the 16th and 17th century, in Istrian stone, white and elegant.
Today, its symbol is over-romantic in connection with the sight of the lover’s walks in the gondola. It is perhaps the biggest attractions in Venice, and it is said that if a couple passes under the Bridge of Sighs their love will last forever.

This Hungarian stilt village is built in a lake that never freezes over due to the power plant that that uses it as a cooling pond.
The neighboring towns of Bokod and Oroszlány, have more than two linear miles of cabins and cottages suspended on stilts over Lake Bokodi. The little houses are mostly used by locals in the summer months, but they also cater to year-round anglers who take advantage of one weird fact about the lake — despite the frigid Hungarian winters, it rarely freezes over.
