The Scaligeri Tombs, located in the historical center of Verona, is a monumental funerary complex in the Gothic style of the Scaliger family. Intended to contain tombs of some of the family's distinguished representatives, including the biggest Lord of Verona, they are located next to the church of Santa Maria Antica. The French historian Georges Duby in his Medieval Europe has defined the tombs as one of the most distinguished and significant monuments of Gothic architecture.
Усыпальницы трех правителей Вероны из династии, правящей там в 13-14 веках — единственное в своем роде «подвесное» захоронение, памятник средневековой готики. На гербе семьи изображена лестница (ит. scala), от этого слова произошла фамилия основателя рода — Мастино делла Скала, который, будучи «Капитаном народа», продвигал владения Вероны на север.
Ever since humans built structures, the barn swallows used the structures for nesting. There were 3 females nesting in the barn but only this one male. I can see why the ladies like him -- he's very debonaire. When the swallows arrive, we know that spring is on its way.

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.
The palace was built as a summer residence of the prominent statesman of Russia, Governor-General of the Novorossiysk Territory, MS. Vorontsova (1782-1856). The palace was designed by the English architect Eduard Blor. In the development of English Romanticism of the first half of the XIX century. a great role was played by the fascination with the monuments of antiquity, their study and restoration. This activity was dedicated to Blor in his youth. The German gardener Carl Kebach supervised the breakdown of the park. Shattered by the principle of the amphitheater, the whole composition of the park contains spatial connections, oriented along the countries of the world and stretching from the base of the amphitheater - "Tea House" on the beach - to all architectural objects of the park, the palace, to all visible and invisible centers of the landscape. Everything is thought out and fixed by the strict logic of the classical plan, hiding under the free picturesque lines of the flower garden.
Алупкинский дворец, шедевр архитектуры романтизма, строили почти 20 лет, с 1828 по 1848 год, по заказу могущественного генерал-губернатора Новороссийского края, аристократа и англомана графа Михаила Семеновича Воронцова. Граф самолично выбрал место для своей крымской резиденции на живописном каменном мысу у подножья горы Ай-Петри в малоизвестном татарском селе Алупка. Органично вписать здание дворца в окружающий ландшафт удалось англичанину Эдварду Блору — автору замка Вальтера Скотта в Шотландии, придворному архитектору британской короны. В архитектуре Воронцовского дворца Блор соединил разные стили — английский, неомавританский и готику, отдав должное светской моде того времени на романы Вальтера Скотта и восточные сказки.

Being the most populated country on Earth, with well over a billion people, at times it can seem like there's always people around everywhere you go. While the Great Wall in Simatai wasn't exactly deserted, it was relatively quiet. Plenty of wall to explore without running into someone else every step you take. It's a strong contrast from some of the other places I visited in China such as Huangshan or any of the more touristed cities.
It's not exactly hard to walk on the wall. It is uneven, and you are constantly going either up or down, so it can be tiring at times, but it's still a giant stone path. Just, elevated a bit. How much you want to cover is up to you. The various fortifications and watchtowers invite themselves to a little bit of a look around.
Anytime I visit such a historical site, I always try to imagine what it must've been like when it was built. Were the guards annoyed that they got sent off on 'wall duty'? Or was it a more coveted post? If nothing else, they got to look out into the vast mountainous beauty of the land.

In Piazza Sant'Ambrogio, near the eponymous basilica, lies the Tempio della Vittoria dedicated to the Milanese war casualties. It was built between 1927 and 1930 based on a design by Giovanni Muzio, who collaborated with the architects Gio Ponti and Tommaso Buzzi. The monument, which is inspired by sixteenth century architecture, is the sum of various styles of funerary and monumental art, from the mausoleum of Teodorico in Ravenna to the Tower of Winds in Athens. The various sculptures are a sample of the aesthetic tastes of the '30s. The most famous work - by Adolfo Wildt - is located in the alcove opposite the entrance and depicts S. Ambroggio. The walls around the central nucleus of the crypt display bronze plaques with the names of ten thousand Milanese who died during the war. The temple is crowned by an electric light beam with four rotating rays, visible more than ten miles away.
Tempio della Vittoria - это мраморный мемориал, который находится рядом с казармами Гарибальди. Он был открыт 4 ноября 1928 года в 10 - ю годовщину Витторио Венето-битвы, выигранной итальянцами в Первой мировой войне. Этот памятник увековечивает память погибших в миланской войне. Мемориал был причиной для споров с самых первых дней проекта, возглавляемого Джованни Музио в сотрудничестве со своей командой, состоящей из Каби Оттавио, Альберто Новелло Альпаго и Джио Понти. Структура имеет восьмиугольную форму и три этажа. Впечатляющий ассортимент материалов был использован во время строительных работ Tempio della Vittoria. Внутри есть много красивых памятников, таких как Мавзолей di Rosa dei Venti Teodorico или di Atene. Сигнальный фонарь с верхней части здания можно увидеть ночью и на расстоянии 15 км. Во время Второй мировой войны мемориал получил значительные повреждения из-за бомбардировок.
