The Transamerica Pyramid is the tallest and most recognizable skyscraper in the San Francisco skyline.
Although the building no longer houses the headquarters of the Transamerica Corporation, it is still strongly associated with the company and is depicted in the company's logo.
Designed by architect William Pereira, at a height of 260 m (853 ft), it is currently tied for 105th tallest building in the world.
This is a redesign of an old origami pyramid of mine. I made a tutorial, in case you want to fold your own: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LgRi4VmcrM&list=PLb2EnQPKqsb...

Me and my wife went to Sharm-El-Shiekh for our honeymoon, whilst there we took a trip to Cairo to see the Pyramids, it was very hazy and busy when we were there. Here is one of the shots I managed to get
I bought this pyramid a fair few years ago at York Christmas market. A yearly outing with friends enjoying the festive spirit, mulled wine, spot of shopping, and where possible ( dependent on the amount of mulled wine consumed 😉) attend the NHS Christmas Carol service at the York Minster.
Oh how we missed it this year....
This inflorescence of the pyramidal orchid (Anacamptis pyramidalis) does not show the typical cone or pyramidal shape looks a bit deformed.

The Red Pyramid, also called the North Pyramid, is the largest of the three major pyramids located at the Dahshur necropolis. Named for the rusty reddish hue of its stones, it is also the third largest Egyptian pyramid, after those of Khufu and Khafra at Giza. At the time of its completion, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world. It is also believed to be the world's first successful attempt at constructing a "true" smooth-sided pyramid. Local residents refer to the Red Pyramid as el-haram el-watwat, meaning the Bat Pyramid.
The Pyramids of GüÃmar refer to six rectangular pyramid-shaped, terraced structures, built from lava stone without the use of mortar. They are located in the district of Chacona, part of the town of GüÃmar on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The structures have been dated to the 19th century and their original function explained as a byproduct of contemporary agricultural techniques. In 1990 adventurer and publisher Thor Heyerdahl became aware of the "Canarian Pyramids" by reading an article written by Francisco Padrón in the Tenerife newspaper "Diario de Avisos" detailing "real pyramids on the Canaries". As Heyerdahl had hypothesized a transatlantic link between Egypt and Central America, he became intrigued by the GüÃmar pyramids and relocated to Tenerife. There Heyerdahl researched possible parallels between the Canarian terrace structures and pyramid structures in Egypt and Central America in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica as ceremonial areas. Heyerdahl hypothesised that the Canarian pyramids formed a temporal and geographic stopping point on voyages between ancient Egypt and the Maya civilization, initiating a controversy in which historians, esoterics, archaeologists, astronomers, and those with a general interest in history took part.
erwähnte ich schon, dass man nicht lange genug um diese Pyramide laufen kann? Ständig neue interessante Anblicke. Spannend! Da war die massive Präsenz von Polizei und Soldaten so unmittelbar nach den Anschlägen sogar minutenlang vergessen
A view of one of the main lines of standing rocks - evidentally a deep fissure in the ocean bottom of the Cretaceous sea which created this landscape. As with all of these formations, it's all made out of ancient sea shells.

Note: This is my origami version of this great puzzle. There are not many different ways that you can fit the two pieces together and therefore the solution comes fairly quick (or doesn't?). This puzzle can be very deceiving, especially if you consider it to be real easy because it only has two pieces.

It was so awesome to visit the pyramids with hardly any tourists there. We got hassled a lot (as is the norm for visiting the pyramids I guess) but we followed my friend's advice and just outright ignored everyone and we did just fine. Since I've never been to the pyramids before I can't say if the Egyptians were more desperate than usual to get us to buy post cards and ride camels or if it was just business as usual.
"The Memphis Pyramid was originally built as a 20,142-seat arena located in downtown Memphis on the banks of the Mississippi River. Its design plays on the city's namesake in Egypt, known for its ancient pyramids. The Memphis Pyramid has not been regularly used as a sports or entertainment venue since 2004. In 2015, the Pyramid re-opened as a Bass Pro Shops "megastore", which includes shopping, a hotel, restaurants, a bowling alley, and an archery range, with an outdoor observation deck adjacent to its apex."
Under the step pyramid of Djoser is a labyrinth of tunnelled chambers and galleries that total nearly 6 km in length and connect to a central shaft 7 m square and 28 m deep. These spaces provide room for the king's burial, the burial of family members, and the storage of goods and offerings. The entrance to the 28 m shaft was built on the north side of the pyramid, a trend that would remain throughout the Old Kingdom.
