Il y a un spectacle plus grand que la mer, c'est le ciel; il y a un spectacle plus grand que le ciel, c'est l'intérieur de l'âme (Victor Hugo)
Happy Monday Blues all!
Here's a shot of one of the towers around The Taj Mahal. I have deliberately kept the other small structure in the frame for the sake of perspective.

Took this back in December, forgot to upload. This is in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington DC. I really like the color.
La Mezquita in Córdoba, Spain. This Córdoba Mosque-Cathedral is regarded as one of the most accomplished monuments of Moorish architecture - and it was one of the highlights of our southern Spain trip last fall. The Moors began building the Mosque in 784AD. When the Christians took over Córdoba in 1236, King Charles V gave permission to construct a cathedral inside the Great Mosque. But construction didn't begin until 1523 - and it was decided to insert the new cathedral in the very heart of the former Mosque. To witness that monument with it's striking contrasts between the two different architectures and religions is amazing. The columned "haram" or Prayer Hall represents a forest, possibly of palm trees. Of the original 1293, 856 columns remain today.

Freising Cathedral, also called Saint Mary and Corbinian Cathedral (German: Mariendom), is a romanesque basilica in Freising, Bavaria. It is the co-cathedral of the Catholic Archdiocese of Munich and Freising. The Freising Cathedral is also known for being the place where Pope Benedict XVI was ordained a priest.
After a fire had destroyed the old cathedral, the church was constructed from 1159 onwards and consecrated in 1250. St Mary's cathedral was the first brick structure to be built north of the Alps since ancient times.
The tomb of St. Corbinian, the patron saint of the bishopric, is located in the four-nave crypt ot the cathedral. In the centre of this crypt one of the most distinguished sculptures in Europe is located: the so called Bestiensäule (the column of beasts), carved out of stone in the high Middle Ages.
The rococo decoration of the interior created in 1724 is a work of Cosmas Damian Asam and Egid Quirin Asam.

無數人走過廣場
跨過這些柱子的間隙間
踏在陽光和影子上
帶走了回憶
也許還有些許淡淡的塵埃
而這裡卻依舊如同他們剛來時的樣子
千年不變
(Countless people passed the square
Across among the gaps between these columns
Stepped up the sunshine and shadows
Took away memories
Maybe a little of dust
And here it still looks like when they first came
Unchanged for hundreds of years)
