There are many places in Altai covered with legends and superstitions. This place is a portal of power, it is also the entrance to the underworld
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.
The Roman Catholic church of St Charles in Gosforth was built in 1911 (replacing an earlier iron-built structure) and is a handsome building with two small west steeples flanking the main facade and a wide cruciform body culminating in a shallow apse. The interior is partially enlivened by marble-cladding, particularly around the sanctuary.
The outstanding features here however are in glass, principally the two large windows that dominate the north and south transepts, the largest windows in the church and both filled with gloriously rich stained glass by Harry Clarke Studios of Dublin and installed in 1945 (long after the death of Clarke himself and most likely designed by his successor Richard King). The south window depicts the Nativity, whilst that to the north represents the Deposition, with Christ's body being removed from the Cross. There is a further window by the same studio in the south nave clerestorey depicting Christ before Pilate, somewhat smaller and sadly less accessible.
This is a thoroughly rewarding church to visit for lovers of stained glass, though it is best to check with the church about access as it isn't always open outside mass times.

By tradition, this is one of the churches built on the orders of Matilda of Tuscany (1046-1115). Its layout reminds of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, while its proximity to Sant'Andrea basilica – where the Blood of Christ is guarded – reminds of the Calvary.
Была построена в 1080 - 1151 годах, это - ломбардский романский стиль. Самое интересное — это форма, таких круглых церквей в Ломбардии остались считанные единицы. Внутри можно увидеть сохранившиеся следы византийских фресок.

The house of Baron Fredericks (the official name until 1917 - "ministerial house with apartments for ladies") was erected in 1901–1902. Petersburg architect Alfred Avgustovich Biber.

The most unexpected part of my journey on bicycle from Dijon to Auxerre: discovering the enchanting Fosse Dionne in Tonnerre, a magical grotto with ancient Roman and medieval roots. Divers have never reached its source due to its mysterious and tight passages, although a few have died trying to find out. 🚴♂️✨💧

New Babylon
The newest edition to my long exposure architecture shots. I was in The Hague for a business portrait and while I was there anyway I thought why not shoot some more? The conditions were perfect for long exposure architecture shots!
13 seconds exposure in broad daylight by the grace of my #formatt #Hitech IRND 10-stopper
I am very happy how this shot ended up even though I didn’t make much of it whilst taking the shot. During the processing it all fell into place, processing was quick and easy and the result satisfying!

My latest view of Miami and Brickell's Financial District photographed from Key Biscayne.
It is an HDR kinda processed image with the last frame exposed at 149s to bring drama into the image with the running clouds. I selected three frames exposed at different times during dusk, to work with in the processing. Too long of a story.
As always, very sorry for the obvious watermark stamp. I dislike it tremendously too. It's just necessary commercial protection.
Thanks a lot for viewing!

Rila Monastery was founded in the 10th century by St John of Rila, a hermit canonized by the Orthodox Church. His ascetic dwelling and tomb became a holy site and were transformed into a monastic complex which played an important role in the spiritual and social life of medieval Bulgaria.
There has been a castle on this site in Inverness for many centuries; however, the current red sandstone structure, displaying an early castellated style, is the work of the nineteenth-century and was primarily used as a prison. It currently holds the houses Inverness Sheriff Court.
Scheveningen Sunset
A classic shot of the Pier in Scheveningen with a little twist to it. I love how they have painted al the pillars into rainbow colors. it makes for such a nice sight underneath the pier. And… what do you do when there are no clouds and the sky is boring? Block the sky in this case with a pier! Another image from last weeks visit to the awesome city of #scheveningen
