Es haben sich in der Höhle mehr als 8000 Buddhastatuen angesammelt. Die ältesten stammen aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, und neue Votivgaben kommen bis heute hinzu. Wissenschaftler drängen auf die Aufnahme der Stätte in die UNESCO-Liste des Weltkulturerbes.
Die Kalkstein-Höhlen befinden sich in einem Höhenzug bei der Stadt Pindaya. Auf dem in Nord-Süd-Richtung verlaufenden Grat befinden sich drei Höhlen, aber nur die südliche Höhle kann betreten und erforscht werden. Es ist nicht bekannt, ob die beiden anderen über eine längere Strecke in den Hang eindringen. Die Höhlen sind über einen gedeckten Treppenaufgang zugänglich. Ausgehend von der geräumigen Eingangshalle führt ein Netz von Gängen tief in den Berg. Die Wände der kleinen Hallen und der Gänge sind bedeckt mit meistens vergoldeten Buddhastatuen aus verschiedenen Materialien und in unterschiedlichen Größen.
The Pindaya Caves are a Buddhist pilgrimage site and a tourist attraction located on a limestone ridge in the Myelat region. The area is part of the ancestral homeland of the Danu people. There are three caves on the ridge which runs north-south, but only the southern cave can be entered and explored. It is not known whether the other two penetrate for any extended distance into the hillside. Scholars have been pushing for the site's inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Deutsches Historisches Museum, Zeughaus
Berlin
"Das 300 Jahre alte Zeughaus ist der bedeutendste erhaltene Barockbau in Berlin und das älteste Gebäude an der Straße Unter den Linden. Vier Architekten waren für seine Entstehung von 1695 bis zur endgültigen Nutzung 1729 verantwortlich: Johann Arnold Nering (1659–1695), Martin Grünberg (1655–1706), Andreas Schlüter (1659–1714) und Jean de Bodt (1670–1745). Seinen besonderen Platz in der Kunstgeschichte verdankt das Zeughaus nicht zuletzt der hohen Qualität seiner bildhauerischen Arbeiten. Am bekanntesten sind die als Masken gestalteten 22 Schlusssteine, die Andreas Schlüter für den Innenhof schuf." www.dhm.de/ueber-uns/die-gebaeude.html

Church and School Building in the Open-Air Museum of Detmold.
The LWL-Freilichtmuseum in Detmold is a great place to learn and experience the world of our ancestors. The open-air-museum is covered with buildings, tools, animals and plants of countryside life in Northwest Germany in the last couple of centuries. An endless source of inspiration for HDR photography.

Thingvellir is a place that instantly inspires awe due both to its topography and its history. It is situated in a rift zone where the North American and the Eurasian tectonic plates meet. There are rugged cliffs lining the valley, beneath which the world’s oldest parliament, the Alþing, first convened in 930AD. Waterfalls cascade over the rock walls, filling pools in which witches and other law breakers were once drowned for their offenses. Beheadings took place in other locations. Upon the Law Rock, the Law Speaker would recite the laws of the land from memory and others would make announcements, level charges, and raise issues of importance to the Icelandic people
Position: This photo was taken in the historic part of Málaga. Málaga is capital of the Province of Málaga, in the autonomous community of Andalusie, Spain. Málaga's history spans about 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest cities in Europe and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.
This screen normally stays shut, like the one next to it, but this one is special because the screen is torn--making the space between the screen and the window panes a terrific hideout for a cat. As Muse can probably tell, an orange tabby, a brown tabby, and a white cat have all passed through this portal (& maybe more).
