Definitely a very creative, cross between a normal house and a pyramid. I took these pictures in early spring which is why the law is still brown, but other than that little tidbit (that can't be helped), they clearly have taken good care of this beautiful house.

When I headed out around 10pm to shoot the sky I had no idea what was waiting. The conditions were perfect with no wind and perfectly calm water to give great reflections. I wanted to shoot a little more to the south to pick up some foreground detail but the sky glow from Jasper made it impossible.

After we visited the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, we headed back in the direction of Place Louis Pradel, and started to walk towards the Parc de la Tête d'Or. I had time to have a closer look at all the bronze sculptures in the square.
Place Louis-Pradel is a square located in the 1st arrondissement of Lyon . Recently created, it connects the city center, town hall and Place des Terreaux with the quays of the Rhone.
It is attached to the Croix-Rousse hill (north façade) and located at the northern end of the Rue de la République . Its south facade overlooks two monuments, the Opera with its modern dome designed by Jean Nouvel and the entrance to the town hall which borders the Place de la Comédie .
On the other side, it opens largely on the quays of the Rhone by an esplanade on which are several sculptures:
Le Soleil : modern fountain facing the Opera by Ipoustéguy ;
Pyramid of the History of Lyon : a sculpture symbolizing the Lyonnais, between the Opera and the slopes of the Croix Rousse and facing the Rhone due to Ipoustéguy ;
Effigies of Louis Pradel and Louise Labbé , works of the sculptor Ipoustéguy ;
Sculpture The Skater due to the sculptor Caesar .
This square was pierced in the dense urban fabric of the Presqu'ile during the works of the metro , by widening of the street Puits-Gaillot . The creation of this square was made necessary by the decision to move the metro into the structure of the new Morand bridge 3 . It was also an opportunity to build an underground car park, the Opéra car park.
In 1977 , when it was not yet equipped, 4 it was named after Louis Pradel, mayor of Lyon, for nearly twenty years - from 1957 to 1976 - and successor to Édouard Herriot, Even long ruled the city of Lyon. During his various mandates, several notable achievements are worth noting:
The district of La Duchère, modern district on the heights of the district of Vaise ;
The Fourviere tunnel and the exchange center of Perrache station ;
The rose garden of the Parc de la Tête d'Or ;
The district of La Part-Dieu with its shopping center and library;
The metro of Lyon with pedestrian streets the street of the Republic and the street Victor Hugo .
The Place Louis-Pradel became entirely pedestrian under the mandate of Michel Noir , within the framework of the Plan Presqu'île.
This place has also become a world skate spot.
With the Pyramids of Giza. Now that our luggage has arrived, it is possible to wear a sunhat and lighter clothing. This helps out when walking out on the plateau.
Last Tuesday, deep sea explorers discovered an underwater Mayan pyramid... this could reveal many secrets of the ancient Mayans. Of course if theres a treasure inside everyone would be happier...

The Pyramid of the Magician (Spanish: Pirámide del adivino) is a Mesoamerican step pyramid located in the ancient, Pre-Columbian city of Uxmal, Mexico. The structure is also referred to as the Pyramid of the Dwarf, Casa el Adivino, and the Pyramid of the Soothsayer. The pyramid is the tallest and most recognizable structure in Uxmal. This Pyramid is very ancient to the Mayans.

This was my first overseas trip, and an incredible experience. I had a plastic Kodak Brownie camera which used 110 film cartridges (originally marketed as the Kodak Pocket A1), so the photos aren't great quality, but it's very cool to be able to scan and post them now.
Check out my cool white shorts. In my defence, I was 12 years old, and this was only one year after the 70s.
Few people bother to view the pyramids from this side as the vantage point requires an off track walk to a ridgeline a little to the west. The notes designate the route taken by tourists from graded tracks below.
The left Pyramid is accessed by climbers only. A good reference there is Robert Rankin's book, Secrets of the Scenic Rim.
Women aren't too far behind! A 'govinda' comprising of only ladies tries their hand at a pyramid. Here they are successful in erecting a 4-layered structure. The applause that these ladies got was phenomenal. Too bad you can't hear it through the photo!!
