In a backyard in Venice, stepping through a door into a house and looking up reveals art as it hangs elsewhere in a museum. It is always impressive to see what the city has to offer, and not just around the tourist hotspots.

Which is the most beautiful island of them all? Within the Faroe Islands, it's hard to pick a clear winner. Around every corner is another waterfall or dramatic landscape. Kalsoy is no different in that it has some absolutely stunning views.
This small stream, for example, turns into a tidefall, emptying into the ocean in magnificent fashion. Not quite sure the purpose of this tiny turf roofed structure. It's the right size for a hobbit, but not so much for the Faroese people.

The roar of Big Boy's whistle cuts through the crowd that has gathered on the Warrensburg Depot platform; an 1889-built structure dating back to when sights and sounds like this could be expirienced everyday. Although this line between Jefferson City and Kansas City was originally part of the Missouri Pacific system, the welcomed prescence of steam in Warrensburg returned for just a moment before once again falling still.
UP 4014 was originally built in November 1941 at ALCO's Schenectady Works in New York, and was 1 of 25 "Big Boy" 4-8-8-4 articulated steam locomotives built for the Union Pacific (first order (4884-1 class) numbered UP 4000-4019 being built in 1941 and second order (4884-2 class) numbered UP 4020-4024 being built in 1944). While the class was originally to be named Wasatch, the name Big Boy was ultimately chosen from the chalked words scrawled on UP 4000's firebox door among completion at Schenectady Works. These massive locomotives at the time were the largest steam locomotives built for the Union Pacific, stretching 85 feet (132 feet including the tender) and equipped with 8 68-inch drivers. Originally, the Big Boys were assigned to haul large freight trains across the mountains between Odgen and Green River, but would eventually find themselves as far as Cheyenne, North Platte and Denver in later years. UP 4014 ran it's last revenue freight train on July 20, 1959 between Laramie and Cheyenne, with the final revenue Big Boy run concluding just a few hours later. UP 4014 is 1 of 8 Big Boys to survive, and was donated to the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society of Pamona, California in 1961. In 2013, Union Pacific reaquired UP 4014, and in 2019 fired it up for the first time in 60 years.
And now, the date is exactly 67 years and 1 day since UP 4014 made it's final revenue run in Wyoming, and we find ourselves witnessing this Big Boy leading the Coast-to-Coast Tour Special for America's Semiquincentennial. Today, UP 4014 is leading UP PJCKC between Jefferson City and Kansas City with UP 1776, an EMD SD70M, acting as the diesel "helper" for this move. Along with that, UP 4014 is currently wearing UP 844's original Hancock Longbell 3-chime whistle and has also received some cosmetic treatment for the special move that has travelled around both Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern territory.

Пале́рмо (др.-греч. Πάνορμος, лат. Panormus, итал. Palermo, сиц. Palermu) — главный город итальянского региона Сицилия , административный центр одноимённой провинции.
El Palacio de Miramar, también denominado Palacio Municipal de Miramar o Palacio Real, es un palacio de estilo inglés situado en San Sebastián.
Fue construido en 1893 por José Goicoa, por encargo de la Casa Real española
En la dársena del canal castilla, a su paso por Medina de Rioseco, aún se conservan los antiguos almacenes, la casa del encargado del muelle con un reloj de sol en su fachada, los restos de una antigua barcaza y la fábrica de harinas «San Antonio».
The Church of the Holy Archangel Michael over the village of Oreanda was built in 2006 at the foot of Mount Ai-Nikola. As archaeological excavations indicate, an ancient Christian monastery used to be located on this site. The temple was built by the famous Yalta architect Vyacheslav Bondarenko and is surrounded by mountains. When broadcasting the singing of the male church choir, voices repeatedly reflected from the rocks create an unusual acoustic effect. Such a monumental sound can only be achieved in special concert halls.
В п. Ореанда храм Архангела Михаила построен по проекту архитектора Вячеслава Александровича Бондаренко. Храм начали строить в 2005 г., а уже 21 ноября 2006 г., в день празднования Собора Архистратига Михаила и прочих Небесных сил бесплотных, совершилось его торжественное открытие и освящение. С этого времени тут начали совершаться богослужения, таинства крещения и венчания, другие требы.
В плане он квадратной формы, а с востока прибавлена алтарная часть в виде полукруглой апсиды. С других сторон стены завершаются треугольными фронтонами, опирающимися на капители белоснежных колонн. Сооружение имеет пять глав: большая, возвышающаяся в центре, символизирует Иисуса Христа, а четыре угловых – евангелистов.
The land upon which the castle is constructed was purchased by the oil industrialist P. L. Steingel (nephew of the famous Russian railroad builder Baron Rudolf Steingel, a German nobleman who had made a fortune extracting oil in Baku. Baron von Steingel adored the Gothic architectural style, so he ordered the prominent Russian architect Leonid Sherwood to use the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany as an example for the new construction, but to make the building even more fairytale-like.
The available land only measured 20 x 10 meters, so the castle was built up high with turrets, spires and open battlements. Inside the main tower, there were 2 tiny bedrooms. The living room, with a large fireplace and stairs, were brought closer to the “shore” for security reasons. Sherwood made a beautiful toy “copy” of the Gothic Rhine castles but did not take into account that large grottoes were located under the cliff. Behind the balconies, at the edge of the cliff, there was originally a garden, but in 1927 an earthquake occurred, and the rock upon which the castle stood broke: the garden fell into the sea, and one main tower was almost completely destroyed.
The next large-scale reconstruction took place in the 1960s. Originally it was proposed that the castle be dismantled brick by brick and moved “to the mainland”, however, this idea was abandoned. The Soviet architect Tatiev was responsible for the eventual reconstruction and the Swallow’s Nest was “rebuilt” with the entire castle being dismantled with each brick numbered and then reassembled on an earthquake-resistant slab placed on top of the rock.
Известный всем небольшой замок на вершине скалы в поселке Гаспра, недалеко от Ялты, построен в 1911 году архитектором А. Шервудом по заказу барона Ф. Штейнгеля. Известный нефтепромышленник хотел придать своей даче образ рыцарского замка и даже дал название «Генералиф», что означает «замок любви». Однако это название не прижилось. Архитектор построил дачу-замок в готическом стиле, добавив в убранство фасада аркатурные фризы, декоративные башенки, зубчатое завершение стен.
Размер постройки совсем не велик: ширина 10 метров, длина 20 метров, а высота 12 метров. Столь величественным здание делает, безусловно, его местоположение, ведь высота скалы, на которой оно расположено, — более 40 метров. Внутри дома разместились прихожая, гостиная с большими окнами, лестница, ведущая на башню, и две спальни.
Барон В. Штейнгель продал дом в 1914 году и уехал из России. Новый хозяин открыл в «Ласточкином гнезде» ресторан, который успешно работал.
Угроза над постройкой нависла во время землетрясения 1927 года, когда обрушилась часть скалы. К счастью, здание устояло, но была частично разрушена башня и пострадала смотровая площадка. В последующие годы здесь размещался красный уголок дома-отдыха, читальный зал, а затем столовая, пока здание не опустело из-за аварийного состояния.
Реконструкция началась в 1968 году и продлилась три года; под основание «Ласточкиного гнезда» была подведена монолитная железобетонная труба, были восстановлены архитектурные элементы наружного декора.
In 1892, on a picturesque climbing cliff - a red rock - at an altitude of 400 m above sea level, the foros church was laid. A church was built on the means of owner of the estate of the form, "Tea King" A.G. Kuznetsov in memory of "wonderful" events on October 17, 1888 at the Kursko-Kharkov Bil Station railwayWhen, during the crash, the royal family remained unharmed.
The place for the construction was chosen the most picturesque: the church was built on the red color of a sheer cliff, ripped away from the main array, surrounded by the greens of the forests. She seems to soar between heaven and earth.
The project developed an architect N.M. Chagin. The church was built in the Byzantine temple style, which is distinguished by a special technique of masonry from wide flat brick-dlinges and using numerous domes by type of Russian wooden temples. With her silhouette church reminds Moscow Churches of the late XVIII century.
Церковь Воскресения Христова была построена после железнодорожной катастрофы на станции Борки, в которую попал император Александр III со своей семьёй. К счастью, никто из членов императорской семьи не пострадал. Такое чудесное спасение стало поводом для возведения нового храма. Церковь Воскресения Христова была построена в 1892 году. Для ее возведения понадобилось четыре года. Оба яруса Церкви Воскресения Христова возведены в стиле византийских построек, а материалом послужил белый инкерманский камень. Девять куполов имеют разные размеры, что очень напоминает российские церкви ⅩⅦ столетия. Украшает церковь крыльцо, расписанное узорами, и стремящаяся высоко вверх колокольня. Использованный в строительстве каррарский мрамор, а также разноцветные витражи, придавали храму торжественность и нарядность.

Пример фортификационного сооружения, выполненного в неаполитанском стиле. Он расположен при входе в порт на месте старого акрополя и в плане представляет собой многоугольник, фланкированный круглыми бастионами. Costruito nell'840 per difendere la città dalle incursioni dei Saraceni, fu modificato nel 1541 da Carlo V. Presenta una pianta poligonale, e due torri: una più massiccia detta "Torre Aiutante", e un'altra detta "Torre Comandante". Attualmente il castello ospita una sezione del museo archeologico nazionale di Crotone e la Biblioteca Comunale "Armando Lucifero"
