The ruins of the 5,500 year old Ġgantija temple complex outside Victoria on the Maltese island of Gozo.
Teotihuacan is one of the most famous and important sites of ancient Mexico, best known for it's enormous Avenue of the Dead and the great pyramids of the Sun and Moon.
Although the site was known in Aztec times as the 'Birthplace of the Gods' it is actually significantly older, with most of the major structures built between 100-250AD and the city, one of the largest ever ancient settlements in the Americas, was believed to have been still inhabited up to the 8th century.
Today the vast scale of the complex, particularly the so called Avenue of the Dead, nearly 3km long and flanked by ancient ruins and terraces, continues to awe visitors. At the north end of the Avenue sits the Pyramid of the Moon, whilst it's much larger counterpart, the Pyramid of the Sun, sits halfway up it's eastern side. At the southern end sits the Ciudadela complex which centres on the smaller pyramid of Quetzelcoatl, earlier and more ruined than the larger pyramids but retaining it's stunning original sculptural decoration on part of it's western face, featuring the iconic feathered serpent heads.
Aside from the great ceremonial structures there are also residential buildings, particularly the palatial complex at the north west corner that retains some vivid fragments of it's original mural decoration.

The 2022 Kimble Complex Fire was the largest wildfire in Wayne National Forest history. It started out as several smaller wildfires on a day with enhanced fire weather conditions, grew into a single large wildfire, and then blew up in size as fire weather conditions worsened. By the end, it burned 1,338 acres and took dozens of wildland firefighters, multiple fire engines, dozers, and more to contain. The cause of the wildfire remains under investigation.
The Kimble Complex Fire came on the heels of dozens of small and medium size wildfires that occurred throughout southeast Ohio during the fall fire season. Between October 8 and November 22, our wildland firefighters responded to an average of 1.5 wildfires a day.
We rely on you to be fire aware and help prevent wildfires in the first place! Know your state and local fire laws, follow the statewide 6 AM to 6 PM burn bans during the spring and fall fire seasons, never leave fires unattended, and always put fires completely out until they are cool to the touch. Remember, only YOU can help prevent wildfires!

The small thermal baths complex is one of the most antique thermal buildings brought to light in Baia. The distribution of the roms and the rigid axial structure make it similar to the other thermal buildings discovered in the towns near Vesuvius. The first building phase dates back to the middle of the 1st century BC, but it was restored and enlarged during the 2nd century AD.
The building develops around a laconicum, a steam bathing room, belonging to the original building. At its side there were warm areas or lukewarm areas where it was possible to bathe in the thermal waters. All the warm areas have suspensurae and tegulae mammatae, and use natural streams coming from the ground sources through special canals, which in this building are visible in the west side of the laconium and in its south areas. This building was completed on the south side by the cold areas of apoditerium and frigidarium.
The partial chage of use of the west side of frigidarium belongs to a later restoration period. It became a latrina and was so excluded from the thermal routes. Mosais and plaster wall decorations are preserved in the building and they date back to a restoration of the building in the mid 1st century AD.
Visitors to the Ġgantija temple complex walk on a raised boardwalk and have to stay between the handrails in order to protect the 5,500 year old temple ruins.

Rondreis door het bijzondere en mooie Myanmar, voorheen Birma …, november 2013
Vlakbij Monywa, iets ten westen van de stad Mandalay, vind je het grootste liggende Boeddhabeeld ter wereld. De gigantische goudgekleurde boeddha meet van kop tot teen negentig meter. Bezoekers kunnen aan de achterkant naar binnen. Vervolgens komen ze in een ruimte met negenduizend kleine afbeeldingen die het leven laten zien van ‘de verlichte’ en zijn volgelingen.
Achter het liggende beeld is sinds kort ook een staande boeddha gebouwd van 167 meter hoog. Weer daarnaast ligt Bodhi Tataung, een tuin waar achtduizend boeddha’s in rijen staan opgesteld.
The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly known as Karnak (/ˈkɑːr.næk/[1], from Arabic Khurnak meaning "fortified village"), comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings near Luxor, in Egypt. Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom and continued into the Ptolemaic period, although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of the eighteenth dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes. The Karnak complex gives its name to the nearby, and partly surrounded, modern village of El-Karnak, 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles) north of Luxor.
The complex is a vast open site and includes the Karnak Open Air Museum. It is believed to be the second[citation needed] most visited historical site in Egypt; only the Giza Pyramids near Cairo receive more visits. It consists of four main parts, of which only the largest is currently open to the general public. The term Karnak often is understood as being the Precinct of Amun-Ra only, because this is the only part most visitors see. The three other parts, the Precinct of Mut, the Precinct of Montu, and the dismantled Temple of Amenhotep IV, are closed to the public. There also are a few smaller temples and sanctuaries connecting the Precinct of Mut, the Precinct of Amun-Re, and the Luxor Temple.
The Precinct of Mut is very ancient, being dedicated to an Earth and creation deity, but not yet restored. The original temple was destroyed and partially restored by Hatshepsut, although another pharaoh built around it in order to change the focus or orientation of the sacred area. Many portions of it may have been carried away for use in other buildings.
The key difference between Karnak and most of the other temples and sites in Egypt is the length of time over which it was developed and used. Construction of temples started in the Middle Kingdom and continued into Ptolemaic times. Approximately thirty pharaohs contributed to the buildings, enabling it to reach a size, complexity, and diversity not seen elsewhere. Few of the individual features of Karnak are unique, but the size and number of features are overwhelming. The deities represented range from some of the earliest worshiped to those worshiped much later in the history of the Ancient Egyptian culture. Although destroyed, it also contained an early temple built by Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), the pharaoh who later would celebrate a near monotheistic religion he established that prompted him to move his court and religious center away from Thebes. It also contains evidence of adaptations, using buildings of the Ancient Egyptians by later cultures for their own religious purposes

Cologne Germany - The newly designed, restructured Rheinauhafen waterfront complex is a young and attractive district of Cologne. The 210,000 m² development, which is located right on the Rhine, not far from to the city center, has quickly become established as one of Cologne’s popular attractions. The waterfront district features a mix of modern residential and office buildings interspersed with many cafés, restaurants, and galleries. And visitors with a passion for architecture and culture will also find points of interest in the Rheinauhafen. The centerpiece of the new Cologne promenade is the trio of buildings called the “Kranhäuser” (crane towers), which rise to a height of about 60 meters. The buildings, which are shaped like hoisting cranes, are defining elements of the skyline on the west bank of the Rhine. Also on the west bank of the Rhine is a newly opened four-star superior hotel — the trapezoid-shaped art’otel cologne. On permanent display in this eye-catching building with its colorful windows are dramatic and picturesque collages by the Korean artist SEO, a former advanced student in Georg Baselitz's master classes.
The Häfen und Güterverkehr Köln AG company and the city of Cologne began to redesign the old waterfront area and develop unused lots in 1998. The design for the revitalization was created by the renowned Hamburg-based architecture firm Bothe, Richter, Teherani. Many old structures were extensively renovated to suit their new uses, including the waterfront area’s former granary, called the “Siebengebirge” (seven hills) by local residents because of its seven steeply sloping gables. The mingling of historic landmark buildings and modern architecture is a characteristic feature of the Rheinauhafen.
Oehler Mill Complex
Shelby, Wisconsin
Listed 5/22/2013
Reference Number: 13000314
The Oehler Mill Complex is being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for its local significance under National Register (NR) Criterion C, architecture. It is significant at the local level with a period of significance of 1862-1907, dates encompassing the construction of the mill and the associated buildings of the milling complex. Research was undertaken to assess this potential utilizing the NR significance area of Architecture, a theme that is also identified in the State of Wisconsin's Cultural Resource Management Plan (CRMP). This research centered on evaluating the resources in the Complex utilizing the Italianate Style and Stone Construction subsections of the Architectural Styles study unit, and the Milling subsection of the Industry study unit portions of the CRMP. 17 The results of this research are detailed below and determined that the Complex's fine stone and brick Astylistic Utilitarian Vernacular Form flour mill building and its two fine associated brick Italianate style houses are locally significant under Criterion C, architecture. The mill is a now exceptionally rare example of an early rural flour and grist mill and its significance is heightened by the fact that the houses of Valentine Oehler and Gottfried Oehler, the two brothers who built it and ran it, are both extant and are situated on either side of it.

This is the Philae Temple Complex, located on Agilkia Island, though it was originally located on Philae Island at Aswan in Upper Egypt. Constructed between 380 and 362 BC under Nectanebo I of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, the primary temple structure of the complex was built to honor Isis, the mother goddess and most important female deity in the Ancient Egyptian religion. The temple also gained quite a few smaller temples dedicated to various deities, including Hathor, and it is believed that the site was the last active Ancient Egyptian religious site after all pagan religious practices were banned by the Roman Empire in the 4th Century AD, in favor of Christianity, with the last known Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic carving being found at the site, dating to the late 4th Century. In 537 AD, religious ceremonies were halted at the site by the local commander, and the structure then became the Church of St. Stephen, with many of the carved reliefs being vandalized and the stone columns and walls having carvings of crosses and other religious symbols being added, while the temple structure itself remained largely intact for over a millennia. The temple complex includes the Vestibule of Hadrian, a tall Roman-era structure, and several Ptolemaic-era column capitals that were never completed, and remain in an unfinished state. The temple attracted a lot of attention in the 19th Century due to its picturesque location, immaculate state of preservation, and lack of sediments or debris obscuring the structure. The darkest period in the structure’s history began in 1902, when the British government, which controlled Egypt at the time, constructed the Aswan Low Dam on the Nile River, with the water level behind the dam rising up over the base of the temple, damaging the structure. The dam was raised twice, further covering more of the structure and leading to yet more damage. When the Aswan High Dam was under construction in the 1960s, UNESCO stepped in and moved the temple to higher ground, rescuing it from its watery grave.

The Cliftonville Lido was an exciting entertainment complex in the 1960's. Now most of the public area has been closed and boarded up. Only the café seems to be doing business - to private hire parties only.
