Yes, there are moments when you even have a city like Venice almost all to yourself, and not even necessarily in a small alleyway away from the hustle and bustle of the tourists. Just visit Venice in January and wait for a cool and rainy night and the city is almost deserted.

One of the most famous ghost towns in the world. It was once a small but very rich mining village, now a group of abandoned houses invaded by the sand of the Namib desert. A photographers paradise!

The abandoned Cinéma Normandie stands as a relic of another era, its faded sign and peeling paint hinting at a time when films flickered on the screen and crowds filled the seats. Now, the boarded-up entrance and weathered poster tell a story of a place left behind, yet the ghost of its cultural vibrancy lingers in the air. The empty walls seem to whisper memories of stories once told within, but now silence and decay have taken the stage.

The Ayalon Institute was a secret ammunition factory disguised as part of a kibbutz to fool the British back in the 1940s. Jewish people used the factory in their efforts to fight for the independent state of Israel. Organizers went to extreme measures to build and sustain this secret factory within the kibbutz. Between 1945 and 1948, the Ayalon Institute produced more than 2 million 9mm bullets.
During the British mandate, the Jewish people began planning ways to make machinery and guns to fight for independence. While manufacturing guns didn’t prove to be that difficult, it was very challenging to make bullets for the guns.
So, a group of Jewish people decided to build a ammunitions factory under a kibbutz, which is a communal area of land designed for a specific purpose, such as farming. The area was near a British base. In 1945, the group built structures on the surface that resembled a kibbutz and in about three weeks, they built an entire ammunitions factory eight meters underground. The factory was about the size of a tennis court.
The factory stopped operating in 1948, three years after being built. In 1987, the factory was restored and turned into a museum that is now open to the public.
In January, the sun is already low above the horizon in the early evening. Its soon-to-be last rays make the clouds above the Grand Canal in Venice glow in warm, golden colours. The images Mother Nature conjures up in the sky are always spectacular.

"Castle Hill Lighthouse is a solidly built structure, and has needed little more than routine care and maintenance over the years. The original wooden stairs were replaced by concrete steps in 1992. Castle Hill Light remains an important active aid to navigation, showing a flashing red light every thirty seconds, and has been used countless times as a beginning and ending point for the famous yacht races taking place in Newport." (lighthousefriends)
When I'm travelling to a place and have my camera in my luggage, I often have a few pictures in my head that I want to take. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don't. But I'm always surprised at the spontaneous motifs that appear when you just walk through the neighbourhood with your eyes wide open.
Like this mirror, for example, which was leaning against a wall in Venice and in which the backdrop of the lagoon city is wonderfully reflected. It's definitely worth getting down on your knees for and in front of it.

This Hungarian stilt village is built in a lake that never freezes over due to the power plant 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.

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.

Turf roofs are traditional Scandinavian living roofs. They're fairly common throughout the Faroe Islands, and you can even find them in the middle of the bigger towns as well. Overall though, there's a mix of traditional turf houses and houses with more modern construction techniques.
There are a number of environmental and cost benefits to having a turf house, such as reduced heating costs and longer lifespan of the roof overall. From a practical standpoint though, you now have to maintain your roof more so than modern roofs. They are however, quite cool to look at.

The structure was covered with white and pink marble from the Candoglia quarry in Val D’Ossola. The Cathedral’s roof is covered in openwork pinnacles and spires crowned with sculptures that overlook the city.
Фасад здания, его шпили и внутренние помещения, украшены невообразимым числом статуй – 3400. В это число входят изображения исторических личностей, святых, мучеников, пророков и прочих библейских персонажей. Не обошлось и без верных символов средневековья – горгулий и химер. Они, как верные атрибуты готики, угнездились на стенах здания, отгоняя нечисть. Среди наружной отделки здания попадаются весьма любопытные экземпляры, например, изображение Муссолини или же древний прототип статуи Свободы, что ныне стоит в США.

Szék is an island of Hungarian ethnicity in central Transylvania (Romania). The town received its name in the Middle Ages from the local salt mines (szik in the old language means salt).
The Szék community managed to preserve its unique folk traditions, distinctive styles of music, dance, embroidery, and costume through the centuries. Many of the older villagers still wear their traditional costume as they go about their everyday life

Hurricane Irma did considerable damage in Cuba in 2017. But because they have mainly soild well built structures and a comprehensive, all-hands-on-deck national program of disaster preparation, evacuation, relief, and recovery that involves virtually every citizen, from the national to the local levels loss of life is rare.

L'ouragan Irma a fait des dégâts considérables à Cuba en 2017. Mais parce qu'ils ont principalement des structures solides et bien construites et un programme national complet et pratique de préparation aux catastrophes, d'évacuation, de secours et de rétablissement qui implique pratiquement tous les citoyens, de la du national au niveau local, les pertes de vie sont rares.
As I strolled along the limestone path that has been bathed by sun and rain for 1,000 years, I felt I entered a world like fantasy that came to life, that took me back in time a thousand years.

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.
