This city building facade intrigued me from the POV chosen because it gave the illusion of appearing as a pyramid, but in reality it's not.

I don't know exactly why I took a photo of this as I don't really enjoy still lives or documenting them but there was something that drew me to this one as something so Czechian as this pile of wooden bits, trapped between window and door, dead but not dead of symbolism...ready to be burnt but also relished. I don't know, it called out to me.
And, there's something magnificent about a desolate Pyramid in Prague that you make with your hands and hope it doesn't slide or fall. And you leave it out to the elements and you leave it out to the thieves even though it's valuable.
Come burn a bit.

The Egyptian pyramids are ancient masonry structures located in Egypt. Most were built as tombs for the country's pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.
The most famous Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Several of the Giza pyramids are counted among the largest structures ever built. The Pyramid of Khufu is the largest Egyptian pyramid. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence.*

The Louvre Inverted Pyramid is a skylight constructed in the Carrousel du Louvre, an underground shopping mall in front of the Louvre Museum in France. It may be thought of as a smaller sibling of the more famous Louvre Pyramid proper yet turned upside down: its upturned base is easily seen from outside.
The inverted pyramid marks the intersection of two main underground walkways beneath the Place du Carrousel and orients visitors towards the museum entrance under the Cour Napoléon. Tensioned against a 30-tonne (33-short-ton), 13.3-metre (44 ft) square steel caisson frame, the inverted pyramidal shape in laminated glass points downward towards the floor.
Directly below the tip of the downwards-pointing glass pyramid, a small stone pyramid (about 1 m, 3.3 ft) is stationed on the floor, as if mirroring the larger structure above: The tips of the two pyramids almost touch.
The Pyramide Inversée was designed by architect I.M. Pei, and installed as part of the Phase II government renovation of the Louvre Museum, known as the Grand Louvre project. It was completed in 1993. In 1995, it was a finalist in the Benedictus Awards, described by the jury as "a remarkable anti-structure ... a symbolic use of technology ... a piece of sculpture. It was meant as an object, but it is an object to transmit light."

A52 The Chain Pyramidal Orchid...the population seems to have made some recovery after a tractor churned up the verge on this PROTECTED area a few years ago. Nowhere near as many orchids as there used to be though...
Not very much is understood about the Cheops Pyramid. This pyramid was robbed long before archeologists knew about it. Anything about King Cheops was taken when the tomb was robbed. King Cheops (also known as Kufu) was believed to have been the ruler of a very advanced group. He was probably very rich and well respected. Archeologists know this because his pyramid was so big.
King Cheops was buried alone in his big pyramid. His wives were probably buried in three smaller pyramids nearby. King Cheops’ Pyramid was probably built between 2589-2566 BC. It supposedly took over 2,300,000 giant stone blocks to make the Cheops Pyramid. Each stone block weighed over 2.5 tons. Researchers think it must have taken over 100,000 men to build the Cheops Pyramid.
