The mausoleum is to honour of the hero Pahlavon Mahmud, writer, philosopher and fighter who has become a patron saint of Chiwa. After the legend he helped the Indian ruler, and to recompense him, he asked what he wants as a present. He asked to release his fellow citizens in the prison so many as possible who could contain a cowhide. This was accepted, but he cut it in thin pieces to receive a very long belt which saved a big number of them.
The mausoleum comes from 1362, however, was rebuilt in 19. and in 1913 to be converted into the mausoleum of the Khan family. The room is in the Persian style with a turquoise-coloured dome in which the grave of the Khan Mohammed Rakhim is accommodated. In another space there is the tomb of Pahlavon Mahmud, decorates with tiles.

It was one of the libraries established outside Istanbul during the reign of Mahmud II and was built in 1827-28 by Mehmed Necip Pasha, who was famous for his services as governor of Damascus and especially Baghdad. In Tire, which is similar to Ottoman cities such as Manisa and Bursa in terms of its historical riches, the library, which is one of the last important examples of the many works created since the Principalities period, was established near the old small library named after Ibn Melek, one of the Ottoman scholars, and on the site of the Ismâil Efendi Madrasah.
The library currently has a total of 2282 Arabic, Persian and Turkish works, 1147 of which are manuscripts and 1135 of which are printed. 671 of these are valuable works provided by Necip Pasha and preserved in red leather cases after maintenance. With grants from various individuals and organizations, the total number of books has reached 11,330.

Nusretiye Mosque is an ornate mosque located in Tophane district of Beyoğlu, Istanbul, Turkey. It was built in 1823–1826 by Sultan Mahmut II.
The mosque was commissioned by Mahmud II and built between 1822 and 1826 in the Tophane neighbourhood. Its name commemorates the "victory" which Mahmud II won by destroying the Janissaries in 1826, the year of the mosque's completion. Mahmud II also built a new artillery barracks and parade ground near the mosque at the same time, replacing the barracks which had been built on this site by his predecessor Selim III and which had been recently destroyed by the Janissaries. This continued Tophane's association with the age of reforms initiated by Selim III.
The mosque is the first major imperial work by Krikor Balian, from the prominent Balian family of Armenian-Ottoman architects. It is sometimes described as belonging to the Empire style, but is considered by scholar Godfrey Goodwin and Doğan Kuban as one of the last Ottoman Baroque mosques. Ünver Rüstem describes the style as moving away from the Baroque and towards an Ottoman interpretation of Neoclassicism. Goodwin also describes it as the last in a line of late imperial mosques that started with the Nuruosmaniye Mosque in the 18th century.
The mosque follows the model of Selim III's imperial mosque in Üsküdar, as seen in some of its details and in the portico and double-winged imperial pavilion fronting the mosque. The mosque was innovative in other details such as the greater use of vaults and stairways, the use of wood instead of stone for elements like stairs, and in the decoration of the dome where the traditional circular Arabic inscription is replaced with a vegetal foliate motif. Despite its relatively small size the mosque's tall proportions creates a sense of height, which may the culmination of a trend that began with the Ayazma Mosque. From the outside, the mosque's most notable details are the extreme slenderness of its minarets and its two Rococo-style sebils which have flamboyantly undulating surfaces.

This photo was ranked amongst the "World's Best Photo of Malaysia"
Due to security concerns after the 9/11 tragedy, you cannot legally take any photos taken on or near a bridge in NYC without permission. It is a pity that some people have become so paranoid that we are willing to allow our most basic civil liberties to be trampled upon. Do the powers that be honestly beleive that by stopping people from taking pictures is going to make us safer? An inability to take photos "of bridges" is only a measurement of how completely insane we have ourselves become. Attempting to legally regulate the rays of light bouncing off of things serves NO CAUSE except to demonstrate our deep state of national psychosis.

Tophane Fountain
Tophane Fountain (Turkish: Tophane Çeşmesi) is an 18th-century public water fountain built by Ottoman sultan Mahmud I in the Ottoman rococo architecture and situated in the square of Tophane neighborhood in Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, Turkey.

History
The sebil, a public fountain to provide drinking water for travellers and running water for praying people's ritual washing needs, was commissioned by Sultan Mahmud I (reigned 1730–1754).[1][2][3] It was built in 1732, in an era with great importance attached to the construction of many fountains.
It is situated in the square, which is formed by the intersection of Tophane İskelesi Street and Necatibey Street.[1] The fountain neighbors to Kılıç Ali Paşa Complex in the southwest, Nusretiye Mosque in the northeast, the Tophane Workshops in the northwest and the Quay in the southeast.[2]
The fountain underwent two major restorations. The first one was realized in 1837, at which its roof was completely changed, and a flat roof in the form of a terrace was adapted. In the 1956–1957, it was restored in the framework of urban transformation, and the roof and wide eaves were rearranged sticking by the original form seen at engravings.[2][3]
In 2006, one of Turkey's largest conglomerates contributed to the renovation and refining works at the fountain. At this occasion, the fountain was supplied with water again.[1][3][4]
Architecture
The fountain was built as a stand-alone structure in the type of a "square fountain" (Turkish: meydan çeşmesi). It looks like a monument, but contributes an architectural integration to the Kılıç Ali Pasha Complex (1580), which is situated nearby. It has the form of a square prism in general. However, the lower half of the structure has an octagonal plan, which transforms into a square at the upper half with the help of muqarnas.[1]
It was designed by the court architect Kayserili Mehmed Ağa in the rococo architectural style of Ottoman Tulip Period (1703–1757).[1] It is adorned with ornamentation showing a transition from classical to rococo style. Its design shows similarities with the Fountain of Ahmed III at Topkapı Palace (1729) and the Fountain of Ahmed III in Üsküdar (1729).[5][6][7]
All four facades have the same design,[2] a faucet inside a lancet arch in the middle over a watering trough to enable for bucket filling, livestock drinking or taking ritual body washing for prayer. The lancets are flanked by semicircular niches resembling a mosque's mihrab. The higher-attached faucets over a sink in the four corners were designed to spend drinking water for people. A number of relief fruit tree motifs in pots adorn the structure.[1] The lead-sheet covered wooden roof has wide eaves, and is topped by a dome in the center.[5]
The fountain features an inscription surrounding the entire structure and including a poem of Nahifi written in Islamic calligraphy.[1]

The B&W dilemma:
In B&W it looks like it could have been captured just about any time, which doesn't make it less compelling visually but to me it feels like it has less of a story to tell. Try thinking this for a comparison: In B&W you'd be saying "here's a beautiful scene in Kuala Terengganu with great silhouette, clouds and reflections" whereas in color you'd be saying "on this day I was rewarded with the rare chance to see this beautiful golden sunrise in Kuala Terengganu, illuminated and glowing for but a few moments, the memory of which I will carry with me for the rest of my days".

در قدیم پادشاهان برای آنکه از شرایط زندگی مردم مملکت خود مطلع شوند با لباس مبدل و معمولی در شهر می گشتند. همچنان که سلطان محمود غزنوی چنین می کرد.
In ancient times, kings wore ordinary clothes in disguise to find out about the living conditions of the people of their country. As Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni did.
The construction of the Nuruosmaniye Mosque was started by Sultan Mahmud I in 1748 and completed by Sultan Osman III in 1755. It's a typical Baroque and Rococo style mosque which was a very popular architecture of 1700's within the Ottoman Empire. The mosque was built on one of the seven hills of Istanbul by a Greek minority architect named Simeon and Mustafa Aga.
The mosque has a semi-circular courtyard with no fountain for the ablutions but only taps today. There are two minarets each having two balconies. It has a single dome and no column within the prayer hall but raised on four large arches, having a diameter of 25 meters (82 feet) and the height of 43 meters (141 feet).

Swat Valley Travelogue - 2015 (1/N)
We started our journey on 05 June 2015 at 8:28 AM. A jeep was hired by us with the help of owner of the hotel. We had a stay there. On our way, we passed through Kalam Forest instead I should say that we run through the Forest to save time for our destination which was Mahodand Lake. This place is known as Mahi Banal and is one of the picturesque places on the way.

This is the Pahlavon Mahmud Mausoleum, one of the most important landmarks in Khiva. The large turquoise dome – the biggest in town – stands out above the old city walls of Ichan Kala. It's the final resting place of Pahlavon Mahmud, a 13th-century poet, philosopher, healer, and legendary wrestler who later became Khiva's patron saint.
Over time, the site became a royal burial place for Khiva's rulers. The building is known for its detailed tilework and spiritual atmosphere.
I took this photo around midday, which isn't the best time for photography. The strong sunlight makes the shadows harsh and flattens some beautiful details. But even in this light, the dome's color and overall structure still look impressive.
