The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre), designed by I.M. Pei, is a large glass and metal pyramid, surrounded by three smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard (Cour Napoléon) of the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) in Paris. The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum.
The Giza pyramids, Giza, Egypt.
The pyramid of King Cheops.
The giza pyramids consist of 9 pyramids altogether, but only 6 remain today.
In ancient times, the pyramids were covered with white limestone on the outside and thus appear smooth, as opposed to the rocky appearance we see today. Some of the original limestone still can be seen at the top of the pyramid on the right.
The largest pyramid (which is the pyramid that is hailed as one of the 7 wonders of the world) belongs to King Cheops.
The second pyramid belongs to King Cheops' son, Kefren. Interestingly, King Kefren's pyramid appears as the largest pyramid among the 3 pyramids, eventhough it's not. The reason behind it is that King Kefren wanted to build a pyramid that is bigger than his father's, but it was against the law at the time. So, he strategically built his pyramid on higher grounds, and thus, would appear larger than his father's tomb. In front of his pyramid is the infamous Sphinx, to guard his eternal resting grounds.
The third pyramid belongs to King Kefren's son, Menkaure. There're 3 smaller pyramids beside Menkaure's pyramid, which is for his mother, his favorite wife, and his child, each.

En amont du Forum de la paix à Paris (11-13 novembre), Handicap International a organisé le 7 novembre un rassemblement avec des parlementaires français, devant l'Assemblée nationale, pour dénoncer les bombardements de civils.
This is a hand-made pyramid I bought when I went to Egypt. Unfortunately I only had my iPod when I was there, and I was always in the pool (because of the heat) so I never really got the chance to take any photos.
Interred in 1851, William MacKenzie’s name is mentioned in many Liverpool guidebooks owing to the fact that grave is marked with an impressive fifteen foot (4.57 metre) pyramid shaped tombstone.
The story, often told as a sworn truth, goes that McKenzie was a keen gambler and left instructions that he should be entombed above ground within the pyramid, sitting upright at a card table and clutching a winning hand of cards. Some tellers go one step further asserting that MacKenzie ensured that his body was never committed to the earth as a means of cheating Satan out of claiming his immortal soul.

This shot was taken with film. Some day I need to get a better scan of the original negative. This was a scan of print.
"This pyramid was made like stairs, which some call steps and others, tiers. When this, its first form, was completed, the workmen used short wooden logs as levers to raise the rest of the stones; they heaved up the blocks from the ground onto the first tier of steps;when the stone had been raised, it was set on another lever that stood on the first tier, and the lever again used to lift it from this tier to the next. It may be that there was a new lever on each tier of steps, or perhaps there was only one lever, quite portable, which they carried up to each tier in turn; I leave this uncertain, as both possibilities were mentioned. But this is certain, that the upper part of the pyramid was finished off first, then the next below it, and last of all the base and the lowest part."

[There are 8 images in this set] Pyramid Motors in Lynchburg, Virginia, an automobile dealership for Ford and Lincoln, came into being in 1937. Located on Federal Street, the building is described stylistically as Art Deco or Art Moderne. Built from plans of local architect Stanhope Johnson, Robert John Keller Jr., the structure has a brick foundation and brick walls with an asphalt roof. The building is a one-story, long streamlined structure with a yellow brick facade, accented in the upper part by horizontal bands of red and yellow brick. Three distinct areas characterize the dealership: (1) the semi-circular entrance featuring corbelled yellow brick with a red, circular metal canopy attached to the building by chains; (2) the showroom located to the left of the entry with red as the dominant color and with a wall of large windows through which the automobiles could tempt prospective customers; (3) and the service area to the right of the entrance, using yellow brick as the major color, and with banks of multiple-light steel windows divided by wide brick pilasters. A large chimney is above the service area. The structure presumably reflected the streamlined cars being sold, especially the Lincoln Zephyr. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln-Zephyr ). In 1948 the building was sold and housed the Turner Buick Corporation, which operated until 1975. It's had other uses since then and currently is used by Centra Health for its PACE program--Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly.
The building has an individual listing on the National Register of Historic Places, listed November 1, 2007 with ID #07001140. The pdf file of the nomination form is located at

Coins riffled into a pyramid. This shows how bored I was a couple of nights ago. In need of some inspiration at the moment and coins just aint doing it.
This is from earlier in the morning on the same day as my last shot of Donner Lake. The morning began with snow and cloud, dampening our spirits. My friend who lives in Reno suggested that we drive out to Pyramid Lake, an easily accessible and beautiful location, but not thronged by tourists like Lake Tahoe is. Glad we did! After leaving Reno, the clouds soon started to clear, and by the time we reached the reservation where the lake is, sun was coming out. The fresh coating from the morning's snowfall created a surreal spectacle. The peace and silence of the place was only trumped by the still gorgeous blue of the lake. To this date, this location is one of my favorite ones, that gave us an unexpected bout of happiness on that gloomy morning.
