The Rundetaarn, or the Round Tower in English, is a 17th century tower and one of Copenhagen's more popular tourist attractions. Easily accessible today, round and round you go as you walk up its spiral ramp to the top. Originally built as an astronomical observatory, today it's a great place to get a commanding view of the older part of Copenhagen.
In the distance, you can just make out the Øresund Bridge. Flying in/out of Copenhagen, you may notice this bridge seemingly connect the city of Copenhagen to a tiny island with virtually nothing on it. I admit I was perplexed when I saw this, as I couldn't understand why anyone would spend so much money to build a huge bridge to an island of nothing. As it turns out, it's actually the artificial island of Peberholm.
A number of interesting engineering and economic challenges were solved by placing an artificial island that connects the bridge to an underground tunnel, linking Copenhagen in Denmark with Malmo in Sweden. Everything from ship traffic to air traffic and freight train traffic had to balanced to come to the solution.
In the end, you get a bridge that looks like it goes to nowhere from the plane, but in reality provides a link between these two cities. The rest of the views, with its spires piercing the horizon is as beautiful as it is colorful.

Кальтаджироне (итал. Caltagirone) - Площадь Умберто I (Piazza Umberto I) - the Norman Cathedral of San Giuliano
The official date of foundation of the company is considered to be 1849. This year, on December 6, the confectioner "had the good fortune to deliver" products of his skill to the table of members of the imperial family, and for those products he received the highest approval of the Empress and Grand Duchesses. Already 2 years later, in 1851, a workshop for the production of sweets and chocolate, opened according to Württemberg by Theodor Ferdinand von Einem, began work on the Arbat. In 1867, an entry appeared in the directory "Factory enterprises of the Russian Empire": "Einem. The partnership of the steam factory of chocolate, sweets and tea cookies". After the October Revolution, the factory was nationalized and received the name "State Confectionery Factory No. 1, formerly Einem". In 1922, she was given the name "Red October".
Официальной датой основания предприятия считается 1849 год. В этот год 6 декабря кондитер «имел счастье поставлять» изделия своего мастерства к столу членов императорской семьи, и за те изделия удостоился высочайшего одобрения Императрицы и Великих Княгинь. Уже через 2 года, в 1851 году, на Арбате начала работу мастерская по изготовлению конфет и шоколада, открытая поданным Вюртемберга Теодором Фердинандом фон Эйнемом. В 1867 году в справочнике «Фабрично-заводские предприятия Российской империи» появляется запись: «Эйнем. Товарищество паровой фабрики шоколада, конфет и чайных печений». После октябрьской революции фабрика была национализирована и получила название «Государственная кондитерская фабрика № 1, бывшая Эйнем». В 1922 году ей присвоили имя «Красный Октябрь»..
Another of the many block posts on the Marches line, Tram Inn is an 1894 built structure working to Hereford in the north and Pontrilas in the south.
Having riddden on the Brompton from Hereford to Moreton-on-Lugg and then down to Tram Inn, I could have done with a bit of luck in photographing the one decent train booked to pass when I was there - unfortunately 1V96 1133 Holyhead to Cardiff was "blunt end first" with DVT 82229 leading the way and 67017 at the rear.
My luck ran out even more when I got the third puncture of the day (the roadside hedges had recently been trimmed, leaving a cocktail of thorns and spikes on the road) - this time trashing the inner tube. With 7 miles still to go I was in for a long walk, until a passing motorist stopped and kindly offered a lift back to Hereford.
A new set of tougher Brompton tyres have already been ordered!
Пале́рмо (др.-греч. Πάνορμος, лат. Panormus, итал. Palermo, сиц. Palermu) — главный город итальянского региона Сицилия , административный центр одноимённой провинции.
The Navigli are a system of canals and waterways whose construction lasted 7 centuries (from XII to XIX century) that connected the lake Maggiore, the lake Como, the Ticino river and the Po river and also connecting Milan with Switzerland, North Eastern and Western Europe and to the sea and irrigate and productive huge areas. In just 35 years had been built 90 km of waterways and the first canal was realised in the XII century when began the construction of the Naviglio Grande with a system of dams invented by Leonardo Da Vinci in the XV century. (you can still see Leonardo’s Dam along Naviglio Pavese). Then, in 1457, Francesco Sforza, Lord of Milano, ordered the realization of another Naviglio, the Naviglio della Martesana, and in 1482 Ludovico il Moro commissioned Leonardo Da Vinci to plan a system to connect Lake Como to Milan and you can find drafts at the Museum of Navigli. The Famous Duomo di Milano has been build with the Marple coming via these canals. In 1805 Napoleon ordered to complete the Naviglio Pavese used also for trasportation of the Candoglia marble for the construction of the Duomo Cathedral. Then in the second half of the XIX century trains and railways become the first means of transport and the Navigli canals were less used and finally abandoned when cars appeared and only used by industries that polluted waters.
Большой Канал (Naviglio Grande), судоходный уже во второй половине XIII века, является наиболее значимым достижением инженерии водных ресурсов на территории Ломбардии. Канал, проходя через г.Аббьятеграссо (Abbiategrasso, провинция Милана), соединяет реку Тичино (fiume Ticino) с Миланом. Вдоль него расположены многочисленные усадьбы знатных семей, построенные в период с XVI по XIX века. Наличие большого торгового пути в эпоху правления династий Висконти и Сфорца было значимым для строительства города: кандолийский мрамор, используемый при строительстве Миланского Собора (Duomo), розовый бавенский гранит и другие горные породы, а также песок и древесина доставлялись с озера Маджоре (lago Maggiore) посредством системы котлованов и судоходных каналов, созданной с использованием средневековых оборонительных рвов. Этот водный путь, строительство которого было завершено во второй половине XV века, известен как кольцо каналов (cerchia dei Navigli). Вдоль него располагались многочисленные открытые склады и погреба, называемые щостре (sciostre). Мрамор для строительства Миланского Собора (Duomo) грузился на баржи со знаменитой надписью AUF (от латинского «ad usum fabricae» - «для использования при строительстве»), которая гарантировала свободное прохождение груза через таможенные барьеры. Баржи причаливали к берегу небольшого озера Санто Стефано (laghetto Santo Stefano). Квартал Навильи (Navigli) с его торговыми и ремесленными лавками, многочисленными ресторанами и барами, художественными мастерскими, расположенными на берегах каналов и вдоль бичевой тропы, становится одним из наиболее оживленных мест города. Стержнем квартала является Дарсена (Darsena), искусственный водоем, построенный в 1603 г. и превратившийся в настоящий городской порт. В него стекаются воды Большого Канала (Naviglio Grande) и реки Олона (Olona, в настоящее время протекающей под землей), в нем берет свое начало Павийский Канал (Naviglio Pavese). До перекрытия, произошедшего в 1929 - 1930 гг., внутреннее кольцо Каналов также наполняло Дарсену водой через шлюз Виаренна (Viarenna) (в настоящее время на этом месте проходит улица Конка дель Навильо (Conca del Naviglio).

Desde la playa observé como ese par de jovenzuelos disfrutaban mojándose con las olas que se estrellaban contra el dique de entrada al puerto de Lagos (Portugal). Rápidamente me acerqué a ellos con cierta precaución, ya que la pleamar estaba alcanzando en ese momento su punto más elevado y pude captar la imagen que expongo.
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.

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.
VISEU (Portugal): Claustro da Sé catedral.
A acção de D. Miguel da Silva, um dos introdutores do Renascimento em Portugal, foi determinante. Para além de protector do célebre Grão Vasco, é a este prelado que se deve o claustro catedralício, obra renascentista por excelência, com grandes influências da tratadística italiana. (1)
O claustro tem planta quadrada, de dois pisos, o primeiro de raiz maneirista, baseada na tratadística italiana, com colunas jónicas, sendo o segundo setecentista, com colunas dóricas unidas por balaustrada; as colunas do primeiro piso pousam num murete contínuo, formando um número par de tramos, com duas colunas nos ângulos, reforçando a estrutura, em detrimento da leitura contínua do espaço; tem cobertura em abóbada de cruzaria assente em mísulas no alinhamento das colunas, sendo de madeira no segundo piso.
