Pyramid Warrington. Opened in 2003 the Pyramid Arts Centre is paired with the nearby Parr Hall. Partly new-build, partly an adaptation of a former school and a Magistrates Court, the complex houses the 240 seat Exhibition Hall in the former gym, and seen here the 220 seat Studio Theatre in part of the court buildings.

A pyramid is a structure whose shape is roughly that of a pyramid in the geometric sense;
That is, its outer surfaces are triangular and converge to a single point at the top.
Les Pyramides is a supple pliant cuff of two rows of little pyramid shaped beads. Embellished and connected in a series of picots that appear complex and intriguing, just like the mysteries of the great pyramids.
A cuff that is suitable for the beginning beader to the advanced.
Quick and fun to make but bold in statement.
The Pyramid of Teti is a smooth-sided pyramid situated in the pyramid field at Saqqara in Egypt. It is historically the second known pyramid containing pyramid texts. Excavations have revealed a satellite pyramid, two pyramids of queens accompanied by cult structures, and a funerary temple. The pyramid was opened by Gaston Maspero in 1882 and the complex explored during several campaigns ranging from 1907 to 1965. It was originally called Teti's Places Are Enduring. The preservation above ground is very poor, and it now resembles a small hill. Below ground the chambers and corridors are very well preserved.

Bass Fishing at Lake Pyramid in Southern California.
Ben and I really nailed the fish this day. We caught about 49 bass and 1 trout. We were drop shotting roboworms in the early morning, but then about 8:30 we decided to try a senko, which the bass just jumped all over. I even got our one trout on a four inch smoke purple flake senko. It didn't seem like the color of the bait even mattered on this day, they just chewed the heck outta the senkos.
A letter from Jim and Hal, the men from the blue boat in the photos and good friends from our Bass Fishing club, the Southern California Bassmasters:
Ben and Charlie:
This is to let you know how thankful we are. After you pointed out Spanish Pt. and hinted "Round Rocks", we actually went there and made hard attempts to find that particular location. After many tries, we think we found it. We did not leave that spot till the guard chased us out.
The red Senko worked too. Wacky style or otherwise. We caught like 10 bass there. Jim actually got one over 3-1/2 pounds (All fishermen lie. But still a shame he would not win the $3.00).
Thanks again. We surely appreciate tips that work.
Jim and Hal
P.S. With all good looking spots around there, why would one choose that particular spot with bathers not too far and picnic tables and attractive ripraps nearby? noisy traffic? why the color red? Senko? Why would one not find that spot while examining the map? This is what we call 'fishing'.

The Great Pyramid of Giza (called the Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.
This pyramid is unique in that it still has most of its smooth limestone casing. Originally this casing would have been a bright white.
Pyramid, not in the sand but made of sand. One of the few 'sky tips' that have escaped landscaping. It is that 'yukky' shade of green due to having been hydro-seeded at sometime. I don't suppose that the recent freezing weather has helped either.
The Giza Pyramids need no introduction, the largest and most famous monuments of antiquity and the sole surviving of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World.
Situated on a desert plateau to the south west of Cairo (and indeed on the very edge of the city's modern urban sprawl) the pyramids of Giza form the heart of an extensive ancient necropolis with the monumental tombs of three of Egypt's earliest Old Kingdom pharaohs marked by the vast structures. Each of the pyramids is a colossal mass of near solid masonry, without adornment and with only a few passages within each leading to burial chambers long since emptied and robbed in antiquity.
The earliest is the Great Pyramid of Khufu (sometimes referred to by the Greek title 'Cheops', or by his full pharaonic name 'Khnum-Khufu'). It is also the largest; the structure is simply enormous and remained the World's tallest building until well into the Middle Ages.
The following pyramid was built by Khafre (also called 'Khephren') and is similarly vast (often appearing in photos of the whole group as larger due to its more central position) but is significantly smaller than Khufu's monument. The smallest of the three (at around less than half the size) was built by his successor Menkaure. Both his and Khufu's monuments have much smaller satellite pyramids at their base (some in more ruinous condition) to house the tombs of their queens.
Originally all the pyramids had a smooth outer covering of white stone but this was quarried away by later generations (much of which was used for some of Cairo's greatest Islamic monuments) leaving the rough inner blocks exposed. A small section remains at the apex of Khafre's pyramid (suggestive of a snow-capped mountain) to give a sense of the original finish and overall mass.
Today the site remains the most popular in Egypt and an astonishing testament to the skill and determination of it earliest builders.
There was a conveniently located jungle-gym pyramid which I didn't actually see at any point, because it was covered in scads of people. So many people.

Pyramid of Khafre, 4th dynasty. Giza
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now Cairo, and is the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is believed to have been built as a tomb for Fourth dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu and constructed over a 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC. The tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years, it is sometimes called Khufu's Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu.

If you have 9 hours in Cairo layover, they are are enough to tour the most important pyramids in Egypt.Spend those hours among the largest and oldest pyramids in the world, the pyramids of Giza,the Step pyramid in Sakkara and give a visit to Memphis, the oldest capital of ancient Egypt.
A stunning reconstruction of part of the Pyramid of Quetzelcoatl at Teotihuacan, whose terraces were once adorned with these alternating heads of the feathered serpent god Quetzelcoatl himself, and the more stylised 'bespectacled' face of the rain god Tlaloc. The original pyramid (which we visited the following day) is now mostly a ruinous mound of masonry, with only the lower part of one of it's sides retaining these wonderful sculptures.

The Museo Nacional de Antropología (National Museum of Anthropology) in Mexico City is one of the great museums of the World. It is the most visited in Mexico and the foremost repository of the country's ancient art and cultures, with extensive collections representing the Aztec, Mayan, Olmec and many more of Mexico's ancient civilisations.
The collections are housed in an impressive modern building arranged around a huge courtyard (part of which is covered by a canopy supported solely by a bronzed column ('el paraguas') adorned with relief). The complex is the work of architect Pedro Ramirez Vazquez and opened in 1964.
No visitor to Mexico City should miss this museum and it's amazing contents, which include some of the best known, most iconic surviving relics of the pre-Columbian World.
