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.
Often referred to as the Coronado Heights Castle, this stone shelter sits at the top of the hill and commands a view of miles in any direction.

I recently came back from an 8 day trip to India. It was my first time there, and a relatively short one at that considering the primary reason for my trip was for a friend's wedding. It meant I had to be a bit creative to cram in as much as possible into the trip. For a country that is roughly 1/3rd the size of the U.S., but with just over 4x the population, I largely just scratched the surface. But every once in a while, I think I got beneath it, to take a look at the real life, and how people are living.
As of 2014, 58% of the population were living on less than $3.10 per day. While different organizations use different methods to calculate the poverty line, you can say that roughly 12-18% of the population lives below the poverty line. For a country as populous as India, that means that roughly 20% of the world's poorest people live in India.
One such concentration of those poor is in the Dharavi slum. Located in Mumbai, it is the largest slum in Asia - the other Asian slums being in neighboring Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Walking through the slum, you can see the cramped conditions people live in. While the slum does have some basic services for electricity, water, police, and so on, it's safe to say that the standards of those services, notably sanitation, are not great.
Photography inside Dharavi is a bit of a touchy subject. Some residents dislike being photographed, and tour companies come under pressure to not be seen as exploiting the poor. It's a bit ironic since elsewhere in India, namely in the Andaman Islands, the indigenous Jarawa tribe is showcased as if they're in some sort of human zoo. I just want to document the current state of life, and hope that's what I'm achieving.
One of the things I've found over the years is that if you carry a big dSLR or interchangeable lens camera with big zooms, besides standing out, people will assume you are a professional photographer. Sometimes that can work to your advantage, but in situations like this, it almost never does. Using a smaller camera is disarming in comparison, and will let you get the shots you want without causing as much grief. This is exactly the reason why I'm a huge fan of the Sony RX1 series of cameras. While it might not have a zoom, getting full-frame, 35mm quality in a tiny package is amazing. I used the Sony RX1RmII to shoot throughout Dharavi. Hope you will enjoy my photos from Dharavi and throughout India in the posts ahead.

Stone built structure on the quiet hillside of Morven. Thought to possibly be a sheepfold but I'm not too sure. Very intriguing.
View of the magnificient frescos depicting Bible stories, 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.

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.
