Excerpt from english.cha.go.kr/html/HtmlPage.do?pg=/royal/RoyalPalaces...:
If one passes the garden at the rear of the Juhamnu Pavilion and walks down along the slope of the hill leading into the stairway, the person can find a square pond on the opposite side and a pavilion on the north bank of the pond. This is the Aeryeonjeong, which is composed of only 1 kan. Looking out of the windows of the pavilion, one can enjoy a wonderful view. It looks like just a framed picture, owing to the decorations attached to the upper part of the pillars. Of course, the mood of the picture depends on the season. In particular, the stone structure, through which water comes into the pond, is opposite excellent in beauty and technique of design.

Música cristiana | "El resultado obtenido por conocer a Dios" Adorar a Dios en espíritu y en verdad
👉 www.kingdomsalvation.org/es/videos/result-achieved-by-kno...
Un día,
sientas que el Creador
ya no es un misterio,
que el Creador nunca se ha escondido de ti,
que el Creador
nunca ha ocultado Su rostro de ti,
que el Creador no está en absoluto lejos de ti,
que el Creador ya no es
Aquel que anhelas constantemente en tus pensamientos,
pero que no puedes alcanzar con tus sentimientos,
que Él está real y verdaderamente
montando guardia a tu izquierda y a tu derecha,
proveyendo para tu vida, y controlando tu destino, controlando tu destino.
Él no está en el horizonte remoto
ni se ha escondido muy arriba en las nubes.
Está justo a tu lado, presidiendo sobre la totalidad de ti.
Él es todo lo que tienes y la única cosa que tienes.
Ese Dios
te permite amarlo desde el corazón,
aferrarte a Él, mantenerlo cerca, admirarlo,
temer perderlo,
y no estar dispuesto a renunciar más a Él ni a desobedecerle,
evitarlo ni colocarlo a una distancia de ti.
Lo único que quieres es preocuparte por Él, obedecerle,
compensarle todo lo que te da, y rendirte a Su dominio.
Ya no te niegas a que Él te guie,
provea, cuide y guarde;
ya no rechazas lo que Él te domina y ordena,
lo que Él te domina y ordena.
Sólo quieres seguirle, caminar a Su lado a Su izquierda o a Su derecha,
seguirle, caminar a Su lado a Su izquierda o a Su derecha.
Sólo quieres aceptarlo como tu único y exclusivo Señor,
sólo quieres aceptarlo
como tu único y exclusivo Señor, tu único y exclusivo Dios.
Ya no te

Tο αρχιτεκτονικό αυτό “τζιβαερικό” είναι προσωπικό επίτευγμα του σεμνώς εικονιζομένου πατρός Αθανασίου Κούτσια εξ αρχής έως πέρατος. Ενός παναξίου Έλληνος ιερέως του οποίου το πράγματι τιμημένο ράσο σπάνια θα το δεί κανέις να μην έχει το ανέμισμα της αεικινησίας όπως σ'αυτά τα ελάχιστα δευτερόπλεπτα στην διάρκεια των οποίων μου έδωσε ευχή να τον φωτογραφίσω.
Το θρησκευτικό κτίσμα του 1903,πρίν λίγα χρόνια ήταν σε κακό χάλι εξωτερικά με επιχρίσματα να καλύπτουν την ωραιότητα της πέτρινης υφής και εσωτερικά με μυριάδες προβλημάτων να θέτουν σε κίνδυνο το εκκλησίασμα αλλά και τα κειμήλια του ναού.
Αυτός το οραματίστηκε,αυτός με θαυματουργικό τρόπο,βρήκε τα κεφάλαια εκ του μηδενός και αυτός με απεριόριστη προσωπική εργασία διότι είναι και “επαγγελματίας” τεχνίτης καταπιανόμενος και καταφέρνοντας τα πάντα,το έφερε εις πέρας πρό διετίας παραδίδοντάς το στις επόμενες γενεές εδραίο τε και κεκοσμημένον εις δόξαν του Τριαδικού Θεού και των προστατών της ενορίας Πρωτοκορυφαίων Αποστόλων Πέτρου και Παύλου.
Με τις ίδιες μηδενικές δυνατότητες και προϋποθέσεις ξεκίνησε και στέριωσε ένα αξιοζήλευτο για επαρχία κοινωνικό παντοπωλείο αναλαμβάνοντας μεριμνικές ευθύνες οι οποίες δεν αναλογούν στην Εκκλησία αλλά στο κράτος παρέχοντας κουφισμόν σε χειμαζομένους,πενομένους και ποικιλοτρόπως εμπεριστάτους αδελφούς μας. Ξέρω ότι θα σκοντάψω στην σεμνότητα και την γνήσια ταπείνωσή του αλλά η αλήθεια είναι ο ίδιος ο Χριστός “Εγώ ειμί η οδός και η αλήθεια” Ανεπιφύλακτα κατατάσσεται στην σωρεία των Ελήνων κληρικών οι οποίοι,μέσα από αφανείς για τους πολλούς προσωπικούς Γολγοθάδες συνεχίζουν αγόγγυστα την Σταυρική παράδοση και πορεία του τιμημένου ράσου έχοντας βαθιά μέσα τους ριζωμένη την βεβαιότητα της Αναστάσεως δικαιώνουν απολύτως τον “κλήρον” του Θεού! (από όπου και προέρχεται η λέξη κληρικός)! Πάτερ,εύχεσθε υπέρ ημών!
This architectural “jewel” is a personal achievement of the modestly portrayed father Athanasios Koutsias from the beginning to the end.
A panhandled Greek priest whose truly honored race will rarely see anyone get the whirlwind of movement as these few seconds during which he he gave me a bless to photograph him.
The religious building of 1903, a few years ago, was in bad shape on the outside with plaster covering the beauty of the stone texture and on the inside with a myriad of problems endangering both the church and the relics of the church.He envisioned this, miraculously, he found the funds from scratch and he did unlimited personal work because he is also a "professional" craftsman, swallowing everything and accomplishing it two years ago, delivering it to future generations glorified the Triune God and the guardians of the parish of the Apostles Peter and Paul.
With the same zeros of opportunity and conditions, he began and desecrated an enviable social grocery
Excerpt from temple.bongeunsa.org/public_html_en/intro/buddhist.asp:
Yeongsanjeon ( Disciples Hall )
Enshrined in the center of this hall is a Statue of the Sakyamuni Buddha, with a statue of Mahakashyapa on his left, Ananda on his right and 16 Arahants are on both sides. Buddhist Paintings such as the painting of Buddha, the painting of Guardian Deities and paintings of portraits of sixteen Arahants bring the atmosphere of this hall. In Korea, Buddhists believe that Arahants have supernatural powers and respond quickly to the Buddhists' wishes. That is the reason why many Buddhists pray for their wishes here.

Ci sono luoghi in cui sembra che le lancette dell'orologio siano ferme da anni, in cui quel che è vecchio non dà di stantio ma acquista valore fino ad essere definito vintage, luoghi in cui nonostante il turismo si respira ancora l'aria genuina del paese.
Polignano A Mare è uno di questi posti fuori dal tempo.

Bastet was also referred to by the following titles: “The Lady of the East” due to her protective nature, “The Female Devourer” based on the meaning of her name and “the Tearer” due to her destructive second nature.

Excerpt from www.mtr.com.hk/en/customer/community/art_archi_cosmos.html:
Art in station architecture
Artwork Title:
COSMOS
Artist Name:
Naomi Kobayashi
Artwork Location:
Upper Platform, Lai King Station
Form of Artwork:
Ring-shaped metal wire-frame sculpture, ceiling hanged
Artwork Completion Date:
August 2009
Artist's Concept:
I (the artist) think the intention of "COSMOS" is to communicate the unity of the never-ending providence of nature's cycles of life and eternal cycles of the universe. I strive for spaces that have an airy feeling, that incorporate air and wind within them. One day, when I took a walk in the early morning when the rice flowers were blooming, a number of white thread-like spider webs were stretched across the leaves. Morning dew was sprinkled on the strands of the web. The sun had just risen, imparting the rice paddy with a silvery sparkle. This experience awakened my consciousness of nature's blessing-the changing seasons, the cycles of nature, my own being. And I directed my hands into motion hoping to infuse this concept into my work just as if I were composing a poem.
Excerpt from temple.bongeunsa.org/public_html_en/intro/buddhist.asp:
Daewoongjeon ( The Main Buddha Hall )
Daewoongjeon was rebuilt in 1982. Inside the hall, the Statues of three wooden sitting Buddhas are enshrined (National Treasure, No.1819). In the center is the Sakyamuni Buddha with the Medicine Buddha (Bhaisajyaguru) on his left and the Amitabha Buddha of the Western Pure Land (the Buddha of infinite Light) on his right. Behind the statues of the three Buddhas, there is a beautiful painting portraying the theme of the three Buddhas. Also unique architectural features add dignity to its beauty: the dragon image on the railing of the stairs, which was used exclusively for the palaces of kings. The pillars, stylish window frames, roofs and eaves also show the echo-friendly beauty of traditional wooden buildings of Korea.

Excerpt from www.discoverhongkong.com/ca/explore/discover-sha-tau-kok....:
Located in Hong Kong’s North District and right next to Shenzhen’s Yantian District, Sha Tau Kok was designated as part of the Frontier Closed Area in 1951. Since then, Sha Tau Kok has been accessible only to individuals with a closed area permit. Back in the days when Sha Tau Kok was closed to non-residents, visiting the border town also required a guarantee from a local resident. As it begins to open gradually, Sha Tau Kok has become a great choice for weekend getaways.
The first phase of the opening of Sha Tau Kok began in June 2022, followed by the second phase starting January 2024. Visitors can board a kaito ferry to explore Sha Tau Kok and enjoy the area’s beautiful scenery, unique attractions and local delicacies, either independently or through local tours. You can also take a ferry to nearby islands and areas, such as Lai Chi Wo, Kat O, Ap Chau and Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark.
The opening of Sha Tau Kok
•The daily quota of visitors with the Tourism Closed Area Permit is set at 2,300 individuals, and 700 group visitors on weekends and public holidays. There is no quota limit for groups on weekdays.
•Individual travellers must enter Sha Tau Kok by public transport, with the addition of ferry services to Sha Tau Kok from Lai Chi Wo/Ap Chau/Kat O. Private cars are NOT allowed.
•Area: Sha Tau Kok (excluding Chung Ying Street).
•Opening hours: Every day from 7am to 9pm.
Excerpt from miyajima.or.jp/english/spot/spot_other.html:
Designated as a National Important Cultural Property on August 29, 1910
Hokoku Shrine is dedicated to the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi (one of the three unifiers of Japan in the 16th century) and his loyal aid Kato Kiyomasa. The reason for building this structure is clearly stated in a letter by Ankokuji Ekei, head monk of Ankokuji Temple. In 1587, Ekei asked Daiganji Temple, the temple in charge of construction and repair work in Miyajima including Itsukushima Shrine, to build a Buddhist library in which the chanting of Senbu-kyo sutras could be held every month. As there is no board ceiling or outer gate, it is believed that the construction of the building was not completed.
Originally, Amida Buddha and two subordinate Buddhist saints, Anan and Kasho-sonja, were enshrined in the Buddhist altar until the early Meiji era. Since that time, however, the altar has been used in Shinto rituals.
The building is called Senjokaku (Hall of One Thousand Tatami Mats), reflecting its standing as the largest structure on Miyajima Island. The shrine was a popular landmark in Miyajima where many people came to relax and cool themselves and to buy popular souvenirs such as tooth picks, and a variety of legends and traditions have been created here.
The fact that this structure, unique among the buildings belonging to Itsukushima Shrine, is unpainted and that its exact date of founding is recorded makes it a valuable gauge of the passage of time. The traces of weathering on its pillars and floor boards can be used to determine the approximate age of any other wooden structure on Miyajima.
A piece of wood used as a measuring device in the reconstruction work of the O-Torii in 1873 hangs on a pillar under the floor of the south part of the shrine. Countless votive picture tablets that had been hanging on the walls of Itsukushima Shrine buildings until the mid Meiji era decorate the walls inside the hall.
The shrine did not yet exist at the time of the Battle of Itsukushima in 1555 when the Mori clan defeated the Sue clan to unify the Chugoku region. The headquarters of the Sue clan was located on this hill, which was then called To-no-oka (Pagoda Hill). Starting in the Meiji era, the hill was developed through the establishment of stone steps, among other additions.
Excerpt from www.japan-experience.com/all-about-japan/miyajima/temples...:
Its bare appearance may not intrigue you at first. Only unfinished walls and a hundred pillars. Although the building is pretty, there is something missing. But once inside, look up: the gigantic ceiling is covered with a mosaic of paintings whose subjects are as varied as the styles and periods of implementation. Medieval battles, Buddhist representations, landscapes and animals in a modern style, the eye does not know where to turn.
