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.
The box is a BR Midland Region type and was built in 1957, replacing the 1877 built structure which was destroyed by a derailed Buxton to Arpley freight on 9th February 1957.
I hope that modern electric cooker is better than the Baby Belling rubbish that we had to put up with in the eighties!

На улице Студеная Гора в городе Владимир возвышается храм Архистратига Михаила, который в свое время был построен согласно завещанию капитана Федора Григорьевича, что произошло в 1893 году. Проект храма был составлен губернским архитектором Афанасьевым А.П., а также инженером Карабутовым И.О. Освящение храма было произведено в середине 1893 года. В то время храм был выстроен в византийском стиле и имел отличительный от остальных наружный вид. На Владимирской земле до появления храма Михаила Архангела не существовало подобного архитектурного облика, выражающего столь четкие акустические свойства.
Masehowe is the most spectacular Neolithic chambered cairn in Orkney.
Dating from about 2750BC, its expertly-built structure and massive proportions are unique.
Visiting 12th century Norsemen left much runic grafitti inside.
The monument is also unique in that the midwinter sunset illuminates the interior.
And yes, I know it would have better if I managed to get the camera and kite higher to show the entire ditch and circle, but this really was the highest I could get with the wind conditions.
The wind was light and it was a struggle to get the kite high enough to capture this shot. For an idea of scale, to the left top of the picture where you see a gap in the ditch, the little blob is a man doing some work at the site.
Taken from a camera suspended from a kite line.
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.
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.
The Italie XIII housing project began in the 1960s but was discontinued in the 1970s before completion.
Ragusa (Italian: [raˈɡuːza] Sicilian: Rausa; Latin: Ragusia) is a city and comune in southern Italy.
In the heart of Piazza Vecchia stands the Civic Tower, otherwise known as the Campanone, which with its height of 52.76 metres, offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the old town. At the top, accessible by foot (230 steps) or more comfortably in the lift, you will find the largest bell in Lombardy. Even today, every night at 10pm the Campanone chimes one hundred time as a perennial reminder of the closure of the city gates, along the walls, during the Venetian domination.
Гражданская башня (La Torre Civica или La Torre Campanone) размещается справа от Palazzo Vecchio o della Ragione, если стоять к старой ратуше лицом. Это самая высокая башня города. Сначала высота сооружения составляла 37 м. Затем здание неоднократно переделывалось, из-за чего увеличилось в размерах, и в XVI ст. достигло высоты 57 м: чем более высокой была постройка, чем выше рангом был её владелец. Построили сооружение в XI ст. Некоторое время зданием владел богатый аристократический род Суарди-Коллеони(Suardi-Colleoni). Затем башня Suardi стала принадлежать городу, и была переименована в Torre Civica. Наверху разместили колокола, а в 1656 г. появился самый большой из них – колокол Campanone (диаметр 2, 7 м, вес 5,6 т), который и дал второе название башне. Ежедневно он сообщал о закрытии всех четырех ворот, что вели в город (в память о тех временах его звон в десять вечера раздается до сих пор). Также Campanone использовали, созывая горожан на собрание.

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.
