from the museum's website:
"Terunobu Fujimori insists that his buildings should by-pass any architectural style that has developed since the Bronze Age. The charred pine exterior of this elevated teahouse resembles the tough, blackened shell of a beetle. It expresses an avant-garde attitude to architecture that somehow aspires to a primitive state.
The dramatic process of burning the timber panels provides a textured and tactile surface - an extreme materiality. It also preserves the wood and extends the lifetime of the building.
Fujimori sees the structure as a site for a quintessentially 'English' version of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Teahouses often act like pieces of clothing. They are compact spaces that wrap around us like extensions of our bodies. Visitors enter the structure by climbing a ladder barefoot and squeezing through a narrow hatch - a profoundly physical process that momentarily distracts us from our surroundings.
Many of Fujimori's teahouses are designed to re-configure our views of the surrounding landscape. Similarly, 'Beetle's House' offers visitors a unique perspective on this day-lit gallery."
Деревянная приходская церковь Воскресения уже стояла на месте собора к 1629 году. В 1655 году была написана чудотворная икона Шуйской-Смоленской Божьей Матери иконописцем из Шуи, Герасимом Иконниковым. В 1667 году была возведена каменная церковь взамен деревянной, но сгорела в 1710 году. Строительство современного храма продолжалось в 1792-98 годах на средства прихожан. 19 сентября 1799 года епископ Владимирский и Суздальский Виктор освятил собор. Уцелевший во время пожаров чудотворный образ был перенесён в храм.

Described by Goethe as a "sublimely towering, wide-spreading tree of God" and by Victor Hugo as a "gigantic and delicate marvel", the Strasbourg Cathedral is visible far across the plains of Alsace. It can be seen from as far off as the Black Forest or the Vosges Mountains. The reddish-brown sandstone from the Vosges mountains gives the cathedral its distinctive colour.

No quedan más que un conjunto de paredes de adobe, montones de escombros, restos de algunas celdas y parte de la Iglesia, de la que se conserva la espadaña.
Rainbow Pillars
A classic shot of the Pier in Scheveningen.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 my visit to the awesome city of #scheveningen

The living proof of Vladimir's former greatness is the unique monument of antiquity - the Golden Gate. The gate was built in 1164 during the reign of Alexander Bogolyubsky In the old days, when the city was surrounded by thick walls and the Gate served as the main entrance to the city, a kind of Arc de Triomphe of the capital. It was from there that foreign ambassadors and distinguished guests entered the city, the warriors returned from military campaigns.
There, the people met the future Grand Princes, Alexander Nevsky and Dmitry Donskoy. The Golden Gate was built of white stone; its heavy oak sections were covered with gilded copper sheets.
У Владимирских Золотых ворот богатая история: она ведет начало с 12 века, когда князь Андрей Боголюбов перенес столицу из Суздаля во Владимир. Согласно преданию, с открытием в крепостной стене парадного въезда поспешили, и створки ворот упали, придавив несколько человек. Князь приказал поднять ворота и в отчаянии взмолился Богородице о спасении пострадавших горожан, и — о чудо! Все придавленные люди оказались целы и невредимы.
За многие века проездная арка подвергалась разрушениям, а ворота неоднократно выгорали в пожарах. Каждый раз въезд восстанавливали, а в 18 веке сделали его удобным для экипажа императрицы Екатерины II и соорудили надвратную церковь.

Каркасная башня с часами. Они долгое время (каламбур) стояли, сейчас идут. Насколько известно, сделали каркас не по чьей-то прихоти, а как решение проблемы с разрушением здания.
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.

"Las cúpulas bizantinas de Lanzarote son el conducto de las humaredas del epicentro de las cocinas del diablo"

Esta torre data del Siglo XV; y es una robusta construcción coronada con una clásica cúpula en forma de cebolla, que durante mucho tiempo alimentó de agua las fuentes de la ciudad.
Los palomares son construcciones civiles que salpican los alrededores de Piquera de San Esteban como sucede con el resto de las poblaciones de la comarca.
It needs no description, probably every child knows it, the Eiffel Tower. It towers high above the city of Paris. The landmark par excellence. Have you ever imagined what the city would look like without it? There would be something missing.
Hace tiempo que acabó la misa de ocho, ya no se escuchan las alocadas carreras de los niños ni el murmullo de los corrillos. Solo el eco de pasos de unos amantes resuenan en la distancia mientras hablan de eso que llamamos amor.
Nuestra fugaz escapada de fin de semana para conocer la comarca de Tierra de Campos fue pasando mientras las horas raudas se iban consumiendo. La hora de regresar llegó dando fin a un finde intenso, 32 localizaciones publicadas (algunas se quedaron para mejor ocasión), tiempo tormentoso y mil recuerdos.
Pertenece a la orden de las Carmelitas Descalzas desde el siglo XVII. El paso de los años destruyó lo que fue una bella construcción barroca que aún mantiene en pie una bella portada y los restos de los que fueron sus muros.
Temple Island, Henley on Thames.
Temple Island is an eyot, about a mile and a half north and downstream of Henley-on-Thames. The downstream end of the island is the start of the Henley Royal Regatta course.
The building on the island is an ornamental temple, a folly constructed in 1771 and designed James Wyatt.
The photograph is a composite of several long exposure images to give an approximately 16-minute exposure.
