Mirror ceiling and giant chandelier inside the main prayer hall of Shah Cheragh Holy Shrine, a Shia Muslim mosque, funerary monument & pilgrimage site, located in Shiraz, Fars province of Iran.
Shah-e-Cheragh is Persian for "King of the Light". The mausoleum houses the tomb of the brothers Ahmad and Muhammad, the son of the seventh Emam known as Shah-e-Cheragh (king of the light). They took refuge in Shiraz during the Abbasid persecution of Shia Muslims at the beginning of the third Islamic century, and died there. The site is the third most venerated pilgrimage destination in Iran, after the shrines of Imam Reza in Mashhad and Fatima Masumeh in Qom.
The mosque is depicted on the reverse of the Iranian 200 rials banknote.

View of the magnificient frescos inside the main prayer hall of Vank Cathedral (Holy Savior Cathedral, Church of the Saintly Sisters), in Isfahan, Isfahan province of Iran.
The cathedral was established in 1606, dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of Armenian deportees that were resettled by Shah Abbas I during the Ottoman War of 1603-1618.
The interior is covered with fine frescos and gilded carvings and includes a wainscot of rich tile work. The delicately blue and gold painted central dome depicts the Biblical story of the creation of the world and man's expulsion from Eden. Pendentives throughout the church are painted with a distinctly Armenian motif of a cherub's head surrounded by folded wings. The ceiling above the entrance is painted with delicate floral motifs in the style of Persian miniature. Two sections, or bands, of murals run around the interior walls: the top section depicts events from the life of Jesus, while the bottom section depicts tortures inflicted upon Armenian martyrs by the Ottoman Empire.

Ben and I were planning a stick built structure, but lumber prices have skyrocketed in the past few months, so we bought two shipping containers and are building a roof over them, and the space in between.
Apparently a potential insect invasion in Eastern Europe and Russia caused mills to process a lot of trees, running the price down and China bought their lumber. North American mills shut down over low prices and now there is a huge lumber shortage here, running the price way up. You really see it when you go to buy lumber and they don't have much.
We ordered these trusses from a commercial place and paid for them months ago, and they didn't ask for more money, just delivered them.
Пале́рмо (др.-греч. Πάνορμος, лат. Panormus, итал. Palermo, сиц. Palermu) — главный город итальянского региона Сицилия , административный центр одноимённой провинции.
Cliffs and small lighthouse on a cloudy Winter day in Portonovo in Galicia, Spain, with the entrance to the Ria de Pontevedra in the background. Long exposure.
i like the contrast between the geometric forms of the staircase and other built structures and the moving man. its kind of symbolistic for life itself.
I stood here witnessing the last Sunset of 2016 set behind the estate and waited patiently for the artificial lights to come on. Photographing with the Voigtländer 10mm Ultrawide was never easy but this composition brought the best out of it. The Ultrawide view allowed me to compose almost the entire estate. Perfectly matched with the superb sensor power of the Sony A7RM2, I took in the scene with 2 exposures balancing the sky and foreground.
Hong Kong is definitely one of my favorite cities for photography.

Stone built structure on the quiet hillside of Morven. Thought to possibly be a sheepfold but I'm not too sure. Very intriguing.

Piazza Cordusio is a square in central Milan, Italy. The piazza takes its name from the Cors Ducis which was found in the square during Longobard times. It is well known for its several turn-of-the-19th-century Neoclassical, eclectic and Art Nouveau buildings, banks and post offices. Even though many of these have now relocated elsewhere, it is still an important commercial square in the city and hosts the Palazzo delle Assicurazioni Generali, the Palazzo del Credito Italiano and the Palazzo delle Poste, former Borsa di Milano. Piazzale Cordusio hosts the Cordusio metro station and is the starting point of the elegant pedestrian Via Dante which leads to the imposing medieval Castello Sforzesco, or Milan Castle. Opposite to Via Dante, Cordusio borders onto Piazza Mercanti, former city centre in the Middle Ages, which leads directly to Piazza del Duomo, today's city centre.
Площадь Кордузио - одна из красивейших площадей в центре Милана. Ее часто называют "квадрат банков", так как здесь расположены штаб-квартиры нескольких крупных банков: ЮниКредит, Интеза Санпаоло и Барклай, а также крупнейшая страховая компания Ассикурациони Дженерали. Название площади произошло от слов Cors Ducis или Герцогский суд, который был на этом месте в V-VII веках нашей эры. От площади берет свое начало пешеходная улица Via Dante, ведущая к замку Сфорца. Дворцы на площади Кордузио были построены на рубеже XIX - XX веков и прекрасно сохранились. Здесь расположены Палаццо делла Ассикурациони Дженерали, Палаццо делла Поста, Палаццо дель Кредито Италиано. В центре площади находится монумент великого итальянского литератора XVIII века Джузеппе Парини, архитектор Лука Бельтрами.

The announcement made in October 2009 by General Secretary Kim Jong-Il, the North Korean leader, to have built 100,000 apartments in Pyongyang by 2012 officially aims at facing the housing shortage in the capital city. But it also represents a challenge to give evidence of the communist regime overall prosperity. The Stalinian regime had already pretended to amaze the rest of the world in the 1950’s claiming its ability to construct an apartment for a family in 14 minutes only!
This time it might be a little different. Despite the university students’ conscription and the mobilization of the army, many observers doubt the ability of North Korea to complete the buildings by its founder’s 100th birthday in 2012. In fact, it is not only a matter of housing: the energy and water supply as well as transports for 100,000 families need the building of extra-infrastructure.
Lately, reports have emerged of construction projects having been downsized and sites idling due to materials shortages. By the end of 2011, only 500 units are built, which forces the authorities to reduce the target to 20,000 to 25,000 apartments in total.
