Dramatic weather with atmospheric clouds over the mountainous Scottish landscape. Rain pours down over a Mountain range and rolling fields of heather in the Scottish Highlands between Glasgow and Glencoe. Dramatic light on through showcasing the golden foliage and ethereal atmosphere in Fall.
Церковь датируется 11 веком и считается древнейшей из церквей Вибо-Валентии. В 1905 году церковь Санта-Руба почти полностью уничтожило страшное землетрясение, и только недавно она была отремонтирована и вновь открыта для публики. Во внутреннем убранстве церкви особого внимания заслуживает отреставрированная древняя статуя Мадонны-делла-Санита.
One of the things i understood when i was in Vanuatu was the religion system: on the island, you have Presbyterian,Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Seventh-day Adventists. They all work on the same system: they try to convert those people who have some long time believes in many spirits stuff, and once they are converted to their new religion, the kid have to got to school...and pay for education! When i was in Malekula i had the chance to see a local conference of an english priest, and it was a shame to hear him selling religion like a product to his staff...

The Roman Catholic church of St Charles in Gosforth was built in 1911 (replacing an earlier iron-built structure) and is a handsome building with two small west steeples flanking the main facade and a wide cruciform body culminating in a shallow apse. The interior is partially enlivened by marble-cladding, particularly around the sanctuary.
The outstanding features here however are in glass, principally the two large windows that dominate the north and south transepts, the largest windows in the church and both filled with gloriously rich stained glass by Harry Clarke Studios of Dublin and installed in 1945 (long after the death of Clarke himself and most likely designed by his successor Richard King). The south window depicts the Nativity, whilst that to the north represents the Deposition, with Christ's body being removed from the Cross. There is a further window by the same studio in the south nave clerestorey depicting Christ before Pilate, somewhat smaller and sadly less accessible.
This is a thoroughly rewarding church to visit for lovers of stained glass, though it is best to check with the church about access as it isn't always open outside mass times.

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.

مسجد المحمودية
(القاهرة التاريخية)
يقع هذا المسجد
بميدان محمد علي
على يسار الصاعد منه إلى القلعة،
أنشأه محمود باشا
وإلى مصر من قبل الدولة العثمانية في سنة (975 هـ) ~ ( 1567م ).
👈له مدخلان متقابلان أحدهما
في منتصف الوجهة الشمالية
والثاني في منتصف الوجهة الجنوبية
ويتوصل إلى كل منهما ببضع درجات ، ،
وهو خال من جهاته الأربع ومبنى مرتفعا عن منسوب الطريق وفتح بوجهاته صفان من الشبابيك تعلوها مقرنصات وتتوجها شرفات مورقة، ومنارته أسطوانية تحليها خطوط رأسية بارزة ولها دورة واحدة مكونة من مقرنصات متعددة الحطات وتغطيها مسلة مخروطية على نمط مآذن الطراز العثماني، وهى تقوم على قاعدة أسطوانية مثلها تقع بالناصية الشرقية الجنوبية للمسجد كنظيرتها بمسجد السلطان حسن.
وتخطيطه
عبارة عن حيز مربع طول ضلعه 19.80 متر تتوسطه أربعة أعمدة ضخمة من الجرانيت ترتكز عليها أربعة عقود تحمل سقف الجزء الأوسط من المسجد المرتفع عن باقى سقفه. ويتوسط الجدار الشرقي محراب حجري بجواره منبر خشبى وإلى يساره باب يؤدى إلى مربع صغير بارز عن سمت جدار المحراب تغطيه قبة مرتفعة ووقوع القبة خلف المحراب ظاهرة اقتبست من مثيلتها بمسجد السلطان حسن أيضا. وجميع أسقف المسجد من الخشب المنقوش بزخارف جميلة ملونة ومذهبة ويحيط بها إزار مكتوب به آيات قرآنية واسم المنشئ وتاريخ الإنشاء سنة 975 هجرية. هذا ويحلى جدران المسجد من الداخل شبابيك من الجص المفرغ المملوء بالزجاج الملون. وقد توالت أعمال الإصلاح بهذا المسجد وكان آخرها ما أمر به جلالة الملك المعظم فاروق الأول من تقوية عقوده وإصلاح سقفه وقد تم ذلك في سنة 1940 ميلادية. #IsLam #Mosque #Sheikh #minaret #islamic_architecture #byzantine #palace #bosphourus #muslim #basilica #Buliding_Exterior #City #Architectural_Dome #Momunment #Religion #Built_Structure
The Massandra Palace, built in the 19th century in Upper Massandra on the Southern coast of Crimea, was the residence of Emperor Alexander III. The building was built in the style of ancient castles of the period of the French king Louis XIII. It is often called the "little Versailles".
