Captured this impressive monument on a recent hike near Utrecht.

 

The Pyramid of Austerlitz is 36 meters high and built in 1804 by Napoleon's soldiers on one the highest points of the Utrecht Ridge. It was restored between 2001 and 2014

Happy New Year to all My Flickr Friends

Situées à l'entrée du petit village valaisan d'Euseigne, les pyramides sont bien visibles: la route principale de la vallée passe par un petit tunnel creusé sous les formations rocheuses. Ces tas de masse morainique de 10 à 15 mètres de hauteur, dont la plupart sont coiffés d'un gros rocher qui les protège, se sont formés à la fin de la dernière glaciation dite du Würm, il y a 80'000 à 10'000 ans.

  

Lorsque le glacier s'est retiré, il a laissé derrière lui une moraine compacte truffée de gros blocs de rochers. Les intempéries et les eaux de fonte ont libéré peu à peu les rochers. Et pendant que l'eau creusait peu à peu la moraine, les morceaux de roche ont fait office de chapeaux protecteurs formant ainsi ce monument naturel bien connu.

Pharaoh Khufu began the first Giza pyramid project, circa 2550 B.C. His Great Pyramid is the largest in Giza and towers some 481 feet (147 meters) above the plateau. Its estimated 2.3 million stone blocks each weigh an average of 2.5 to 15 tons. I photographed the pyramids from different angles and perspectives, but this long shot is one of my favorites.

Sunset light on the clouds and peaks there along this pretty lake near Jasper.

Taken back in the beginning of August... This is Pyramid Mountain and Island reflecting into Pyramid Lake. This remains one of my all time favourite spots to visit when I'm in the area.

There are some small pyramids in the image but I just don't recall why I gave it that name. I must have had a reason. If you see me you might ask me about it.

The Pyramid of Djoser (or Djeser and Zoser), or Step Pyramid, is an archaeological site in the Saqqara necropolis, Egypt, northwest of the city of Memphis. The 6-tier, 4-sided structure is the earliest colossal stone building in Egypt. It was built in the 27th century BC during the Third Dynasty for the burial of Pharaoh Djoser. The pyramid is the central feature of a vast mortuary complex in an enormous courtyard surrounded by ceremonial structures and decoration.*
