I was out in The Hague on a commissioned shoot and the light was awesome. Then I passed one of my favorite buildings and just had to stop and shoot it…

Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India, South Asia. Patwa-ki-Haveli (or Patwon-Ki-Haveli) is considered the most important haveli in Jaisalmer, firstly because it was the city's first ever haveli and secondly because it is not a single haveli but a cluster of 5 small havelis. The first among these havelis was commissioned and constructed in the year 1805 by Guman Chand Patwa with the remainder built subsequently over a period spanning 50 years.

Despite an apparent animosity, a significant number amongst the Iranian elite conceal big reverence and admiration for the United States and in fact encourage their children and national talents to study there, as opposed to, for example, learning from Chinese success stories. One of many unfortunate results of this is the disastrous urban planning models that get forcefully injected into Iranian cities: e.g. instead of efficient and cheap public transportation systems working like clockworks (as those doing wonders for first and second-tier Chinese cities), Iranian municipalities insist on exclusively building ever larger and multi-layered urban highways, centering their models on expanding the usable surface for individual vehicles, rather than investing on smart public transportation systems. A completely unsustainable and failing model as witnessed in most large US cities. Meanwhile, the metro and bus systems tend to lag demand and/or the times by 5-10 and 10-20 years, respectively, at least in my personal observations.
My hope is more amongst the Iranian elite can give up their (often racial-based) prejudices and see through the negative propaganda against China, so they can get themselves to learn from systems that effectively turn cars into totally optional items.

La Plaza Mayor de Ocaña es un ejemplo típico de la tipología de las plazas castellanas. Se trata de un espacio público de arquitectura neoclásica. Su construcción se inicia en 1782, finalizando tres de sus cuatro fachadas en 1791
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.
En origen debió de ser un templo románico, aunque hoy sólo queda en pie su sencilla portada de entrada, sus muros maestros y la espadañuela. La imagen del santo se guarda en una de las casas del pueblo.

Before my visit to Lyon, during my research I came across a picture of the Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon lit up at night. And of course I wanted to take a picture myself at sunset and at night.
It was a cloudless sunset and the sun was setting behind the most beautiful building reflected in the Rhône River that runs through the city.
By the way, if you like French cities and have seen most of Paris several times, visit Lyon!
Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!
New York City - June 4, 2024: Sunset over the Brooklyn Bridge and Lower Manhattan as seen from the Manhattan Bridge.
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.

This old, arched stone bridge can be found beside the road that leads to Ardentinny Beach, in Argyll, Scotland.
The northern side of the square is occupied by the ancient town hall, the Torre dei Lamberti, the Casa dei Giudici ("Judges' Hall") and the frescoed Mazzanti Houses. The western side, the shortest one, features the Baroque Palazzo Maffei, decorated by statues of Greek gods. It is faced by a white marble column, on which is St. Mark's Lion, symbol of the Republic of Venice.The north-western side occupies the site of the ancient Roman Capitol Hill, which looked towards the forum. Numerous of its buildings facing the square have maintained façade frescoes. On the southern side is the crenellated Casa dei Mercanti ("House of the Merchants", also known as Domus Mercatorum), now the seat of the Banca Popolare di Verona. Other buildings, the tall houses of the Ghetto, are reminiscent of medieval tower-houses.
Piazza delle Erbe означает «Площадь трав». В античные времена здесь располагался римский форум, а в XV в. на его месте возник рынок, благодаря которому площадь и получила свое название. Центральным элементом Пьяцца деле Эрбе является фонтан Веронской Мадонны с римской статуей IV века. Во времена Древнего Рима здесь билось сердце Вероны, и сегодня можно с уверенностью говорить, что сюда в городе ведут все дороги.
La iglesia de San Miguel es de una gran importancia a nivel artístico ya que lo más probable es que fuera el lugar donde por primera vez se edificara una galería porticada románica. Uno de los canecillos así lo atestigua.
En él aparece un monje que sostiene un libro abierto en el que se puede leer: “Me hizo el maestro Julianus en la era de 1119 (año 1081)”. Por este motivo se trataría no solo de la galería porticada más antigua de Castilla, sino uno de los primeros templos románicos de la zona sur del Duero. Declarada Monumento Nacional desde 1976.
