Riding a Venetian gondola is graceful and romantic, but expensive. A typical venetian boat ride cost between 80,00 and 100,00 Euro for a 40 minutes ride.
In the dozen or so times I have been though Tokyo I have only seen Fujisan once! This last trip the sky was clear so I headed up the sky tree to grab this shot looking over Tokyo. Mount Fuji or Fujisan is the highest mountain in Japan 3,776.24 m (12,389 ft). Honshu Island, Japan

The first fortification on this site was built in 1368. Years later it was enlarged and became a splendid ducal palace, which was then practically completely destroyed during the Golden Ambrosian Republic. The Sforza family reconstructed the castle and made it into one of the most magnificent residences in Italy. Years later, the castle was used once more as a fortification under the Spanish and Austrian domination. Napoleon ordered the demolition of the castle in 1800 and a year later the Spanish bastions and towers were destroyed. During the second half of the nineteenth century the population was torn between keeping the Castle or destroying it to build a residential neighbourhood. However, the castle remained and the architect Luca Beltrami was instructed to renovate the castle, restoring it as it was when the Sforza family resided in it. The restoration was completed in 1905 and the central tower (Torre Filarete) and the were inaugurated. The park was built on the former parade grounds. During World War II the castle was severely damaged. At the end of the twentieth century the Castle square was built with a fountain in the centre. However, in the sixties it was destroyed when the Milan Metro was built. In 2005, the restoration of the Cortile della Ghirlanda and the halls of the castle were completed.
Изначально этот замок был построен в XIV в., когда аристократическая династия Висконти решила обзавестись резиденцией рядом с Миланом (на тот момент эта территория не входила в черту города). Несмотря на возведенные вокруг замка оборонительные сооружения, семья Висконти была атакована при свержении власти и была вынуждена покинуть свой дом. Сам замок был наполовину разрушен бунтующей толпой. Через несколько лет существования новой республики к власти пришел Франческо Сфорца, военачальник и новый герцог Милана, который сделал Сфорцеско своей резиденцией, и при нем полуразрушенный замок был восстановлен. Резиденцией герцогов замок стал лишь при сыне Франческо Сфорца — Галеаццо. Он расширил замок и привлек к внутренней отделке искусного архитектора Феррини. В XVI в. во время Итальянских войн замок был покинут хозяевами и пришел в упадок. Сфорцеско продолжал подвергаться набегам во время Революционных войн и был значительно поврежден. Его реставрация была проведена лишь в 1833 г., и тогда замок приобрел множество романтических черт. Однако во время войн в середине XIX в. между итальянцами и австрийцами замок Сфорца снова был разграблен и пребывал в запустении до 1900 г. В этом году было проведено масштабное восстановление замка, и по сей день он существует в том виде, который он приобрел при реставрации.
Российские туристы, посещая крепость Сфорца, сразу отмечают его внешнее сходство с Московским Кремлем. Основные похожие черты этих двух достопримечательностей — форма башен и череда зубцов на крепостных стенах. Причина этих сходств заключается в следующем: главную башню Сфорцеско проектировал Антонио Филарете. Этот архитектор одно время работал с другим известным итальянским мастером — Аристотелем Фиораванти. Именно Фиораванти был автором проекта Кремля в Москве.
At the foot of a blue wall on Carrer del Museu in Valencia, the facade of a tiny house attracts the attention of passersby. The house is only a foot or two tall, but it is designed in a classically Valencian style. It has a Spanish tiled roof, a little fountain, and a “garden” to the side. Its small size means no human can ever visit the Cat House.
When I think of August, I think of travel. This photo captures the spirit of those amazing destinations, filled with surprise, and glamour and mystery.
One of the places I most want to go is Prague, a bucket list destination for sure, but nevertheless. So I decided to imagine what it would look like through the lens.
Alex Jansen, who represents this corset manufacturer, came into Union 206 to re-imagine what such a scene would look like. This is a composite of a shot of Alex and an iStock image, featuring the Charles Bridge illuminated by gas lanterns in early foggy morning, Prague, Czech Republic.
St. Bernard de Clairvaux Church is a medieval Spanish monastery cloister which was built in the town of Sacramenia in Segovia, Spain, in the 12th century but dismantled in the 20th century and shipped to New York City in the United States. It was eventually reassembled at 16711 West Dixie Highway, North Miami Beach, Florida, where it is now an Episcopal church and tourist attraction called Ancient Spanish Monastery. It is the oldest European-built structure in the Western Hemisphere.
