We went to this popular hangout spot as I was in the mood of shooting long exposure shots with the bridge in the frame.
To our surprise, the park now had fences on the edge probably to discourage people from jumping into the sea.
The filled-up premises of the Cave Church of the Nativity of St. George Monastery were found in the thickness of the rock and restored in 1892-93; he survived to this day, probably due to the fact that he was located on the territory of a military unit. The entrance to the temple, like the altar, is carved into the rock. The facade is designed as a wall surrounding the portal. The second tier of the chapel with three glazed arches is located above the portal. The cross reigns over the whole composition.
In 2000, the chapel of the Iberian Icon of the Mother of God was restored according to the project of the late Archimandrite Augustine (Polovetsky), as a monument in honor of the 2000th anniversary of the Nativity of Christ. The chapel contains the remains of the monastery's churchwarden, Prince A. N. Golitsyn, the infantry general of Count Ivan Osipovich Witte, the daughter of the Sevastopol merchant Ivanov, and two unknown persons.
Засыпанное помещение Пещерного храма Рождества Христова Свято-Георгиевского монастыря было найдено в толще породы и восстановлено ещё в 1892-93 годах; он дожил до наших дней, наверное, благодаря тому, что был расположен на территории военной части. Вход в храм, как и алтарь, вырублены в породе камня. Фасад выполнен в виде стены, окружающей портал. Над порталом расположен второй ярус часовни с тремя остеклёнными арками. Над всей композицией властвует крест.
В 2000 году была восстановлена часовня Иверской иконы Божией Матери по проекту покойного архимандрита Августина (Половецкого), как памятник в честь 2000-летия Рождества Христова. В часовне покоятся останки ктитора монастыря князя А. Н. Голицына, генерала от инфантерии графа Ивана Осиповича Витте, дочери севастопольского купца Иванова и двоих неизвестных.

A picturesque view of a traditional Chinese stone bridge spanning across the calm waters of West Lake in Hangzhou, China. The golden hues of the setting sun cast a warm glow on the water, creating a shimmering reflection that adds to the peaceful ambiance. Silhouetted against this backdrop are three individuals, one holding an umbrella, who appear to be taking in the stunning scenery from the bridge's archway.

In 1892, the Imperator Alexander the Third invited the main wine-maker of Crimean and Caucasian feudal lands Count Lev Golitsyn, who had already been known as the founder of wine-making enterprises in the New World, to Massandra. It was he who ordered to build the first underground winery with tunnels in Russia in order to produce and ripen table and dessert wines. Its construction lasted four years.
Constructed from the light-grey Crimean stone, the Massandra winery’s building is reminiscent of a medieval castle with tower and forged iron gates. The wine cellars are cut underneath it: the fan of seven 150 meter-long tunnels goes deep into the rock and forms galleries with stone niches for many-year-old vintage wines. This natural storehouse has unique microclimate with stable temperature of +12 degrees Celsius all the year round. This temperature is considered to be ideal for high quality dessert and fortified wines’ storage.
Today, the Massandra winery has one of the largest wine collections in the world that numbers over a million vintage wine bottles, including 10 to 200 and more year-old wines. There are several truly unique items: for instance, Sherry de la Frontera, produced in 1775 and considered to be the oldest wine in the world. Massandra winery has its own museum stock that includes up to three bottles of each wine from winery’s collection.
Массандровский завод - первый в России винный завод тоннельного типа. Строительство начали в 1894 году и уже в 1898 году было произведено первое вино, которое и послужило началом коллекции Массандровского завода.
На сегодняшний день Массандровский завод является обладателем самой большой в мире коллекции вин, около 1- миллиона бутылок, этот факт внесен в книгу рекордов Гиннеса. В коллекцию вошли вина Франции, Италии, Португалии, Германии и, конечно же, собственного производства.
Помимо производства вина завод славится своей архитектурой. Основное и первое здание завода было построено в 1897 году, по утвержденному проекту князем Голицыным, в стиле средневекового замка. Архитектура полностью пронизана строгой готикой и военным минимализмом. Чуть позже в проект внеслись декоративные элементы. Замок выстроен из массивных каменных блоков, поэтому стены получились от 0,45-1 метра в толщину, узкие окошки, которые выполненные в виде бойниц.По центру арочный массивный вход с кованными воротами. Под замком в два этажа расположились винные подвалы, оборудованные под содержание и хранение вина.
A view of Neuschwanstein Castle with storm clouds behind, you can understand how this palace famously inspired Disney's Sleeping Beauty castle. Neuschwanstein Castle or Schloss Neuschwanstein is a nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. Translated into English, New Swanstone Castle was built between 1869 and 1886, the castle was intended as a home for king Ludwig II of Bavaria until his death in 1886. The palace was commissioned by the king a as a retreat and as a homage to Richard Wagner. The King didn't use the Bavarian public funds for this extravagance, instead Ludwig funded the building of the palace from his personal fortune and some extensive borrowing.

I spent an early morning at the Taj Mahal to take in sunrise and rush around in a desperate attempt to get a few key photos before the place was overwhelmed with tourists. On my eventual way out, I came across this geometrically pleasing hallway.

Iceland can be rather large or small depending on your perception of it. The way maps are projected can distort its size. Kentucky is only slightly larger than Iceland for instance, but with a population density 13x that of the island. With the small population, the whole place just seems much larger.
Over 1/3rd of the population of Iceland call its capital city of Reykjavik home, and if you include the Capital Region as a whole, you've got over 60% of the population living in just over 1% of the size of the country. With that kind of urban density, the rest of the island is suddenly even more sparsely populated.
I really wish I had time to explore Reykjavik, but realistically I just had a few meals and didn't do any sightseeing as I was either working or touring outside of the city. One week in Iceland is enough time to take in the major sights in the West and South, especially if you're on a true vacation and not just working remotely like I was. If you really want to see the country though, I'd recommend a minimum of two weeks so that you can either explore the parts in depth you're interested in, or do a drive around the ring road. 3-4 weeks, and now you're talking about really seeing Iceland as it deserves to be seen. Well, I only spent a week, so I guess that means I have to keep returning till I see it all, right?
This view of Reykjavík was taken from Perlan. I ate a rather expensive below-average dinner where I can only assume my money was spent more for the view inside a rotating restaurant than for the food itself. Food in Iceland can be fairly expensive, but it can also be quite delicious - just not at Perlan. The ginormous Lutheran church Hallgrímskirkja dominates the skyline. Its design is meant to resemble the basalt lava flows you can find around the island.
Strong low sunlight after rain produced a lovely rainbow over the largest brick-built structure in East Anglia
Multi-apartment residential building, built in 1937, Stalinist Empire. If you look from the embankment, you get the impression that this is an ordinary Stalinka. But if you go deeper, you will see an unusual high portico-passage, above which, it seems, there is an apartment with arched windows. Built in 1937 .
Два корпуса одного жилого дома, построенного в 1937 году по проекту Ивана Николаевича Дубова. В 30 е годы двадцатого века перед архитекторами была поставлена задача создать новый образ социалистического города, где историческая застройка не рассматривалась как нечто ценное, и ей вполне можно было пренебречь или даже снести. Поэтому нужно отдать должное архитектору Ивану Николаевичу Дубову, который в своем проекте сохранил церковь Николы Надеина — первый каменный храм в Ярославле 17-го века , возведенный на купеческом дворе. Он попытался связать вновь выстроенные им современные здания с памятником древнерусской архитектуры. Размер церкви определил и расстояние между двумя корпусами нового жилого дома. Ступенчатые объемы торцевых фасадов домов и полукружья окон словно повторяют очертания элементов церкви. Колоннада по бокам зданий создает своеобразную оправу, открывая нам «дорогу к храму»..

Тра́пани (итал. Trapani, сиц. Tràpani) — коммуна в Италии, административный центр одноимённой провинции Сицилии.
Segesta (Ancient Greek: Ἔγεστα Egesta;[1] Sicilian: Siggésta) was one of the major cities of the Elymian people, one of the three indigenous peoples of Sicily.
The Basilica of San Lorenzo was established during the fourth century and is the oldest church in Milan. It is dedicated to San Lorenzo and is built with enormous blocks that were taken from other Roman sites. The church’s interior is decorated with marble and impressive mosaics. One of the temple’s highlights (which is not to be missed) is the Chapel of Saint Aquilino with its fourth-century Byzantine mosaics, adjoining the main church. You can access a type of crypt from the Cappella di Sant'Aquilino, where you can see some of the original materials with which the church was built, which were all extracted from a Roman amphitheatre in the area. In the square in front of the church are the Colonne di San Lorenzo (Columns of St. Lawrence),sixteen columns dating from the third century from ancient Milan, the Roman Mediolanum. The church’s courtyard houses a copy of a bronze statue of Constantine the Great, the first Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity.
Базилика святого Лаврентия (Basilica di San Lorenzo Maggiore) была построена в конце IV в. на том месте, рядом с которым находился античный амфитеатр. Камни, послужившие для возведения древнеримского сооружения, использовались в качестве материала для новой церкви. Имя спроектировавшего храм архитектора не дошло до наших дней, однако известно, что он был византийцем. Этот факт доказывает и форма базилики, представляющей собой центральный корпус с четырьмя апсидами, который зажат четырьмя башнями. Вероятно, строительство храма велось при епископе Амвросии Медиоланском. Церковь освятили в честь святого Лаврентия, архидиакона римской христианской общины, заживо изжаренного на железной решетке в 258 г. В конце IV в. к базилике были пристроены капеллы Сант-Аквиллино и Сан-Ипполито. Капелла, названная мавзолеем Сан-Систо, появилась в начале VI в. За долгую историю своего существования церковь пережила несколько пожаров и в 1573 г. обрушилась. Восстановительные работами руководил архитектор Мартино Басси, который сохранил первоначальный план базилики, добавив лишь купол, установленный на высоком барабане. На площади перед базиликой стоит Колонна Сан-Лоренцо (III век) — наследие древнеримского Медиоланума, существовавшего задолго до Милана. Также перед базиликой расположены копия памятника императору Константину – первому христианскому императору Римской империи и памятник Лазарю начала 18 века.
