A satellite pyramid behind the Bent pyramid, better known as the Queens Pyramid. The chamber inside the pyramid is so small, that it has not been used for burial.
4th dynasty, Dashur, Egypt
This is the pyramid of Khafre. It still has some of its caprock on top. It appears taller than the Great Pyramid, because it is on higher ground.
(Cairo, Egypt)

A series of user-controlled 360 panoramas of the Pyramids at Giza at various points within the necropolis.
For those of you with slow internet connections, I suggest you move on. This panorama series requires quite a bit of bandwidth. After the initial panorama loads, you'll see several clickable points within the pyramids complex. Clicking on any point delivers you to the panorama taken from that point's perspective. There are 5 linked panoramas within this series which should do quite a good job eating up your processor cycles (it is Adobe Flash, after all), RAM, and free time.
This is the last of the pyramids complex from Egypt but I hope for those that are unable to ever reach Egypt in person, this panorama set does a good job of putting the pyramids into a bit of perspective.

Stained glass panel by Lorraine Crocker. (please excuse the low res images, unfortunately I haven't got any better images of these panels, photography was so rationed in pre-digital days!).
Three years of study at the Architectural Stained Glass Department at Swansea culminated in the degree show, with each student (usually fewer in number by now than at the start!) allocated a window space in the building to display their work, with a mixture of panels representing the various techniques explored and styles developed by each individual.
I usually took a full set of photos of each show (I was known for being obsessive compulsive with a camera even then!) and felt uploading the full set best represents the range of talents and ideas, in many cases of people who never worked in the medium in post-college life.
If any of my contemporaries are looking in I hope they will be flattered and see this as a tribute to their achievements. If for any reason anyone is unhappy about their work being shared online do please let me know.

Detail of the Pyramid of the Magician at Uxmal.
The Mayan city of Uxmal is one of the most important in Mexico, its major buildings surviving in unusually good condition and distinctively designed, exhibiting the 'Puuc' style (found especially in this area of the Yucatan Penninsula) which employs large areas of semi-abstract geometric surface decoration on the facades of temples and palaces.
This decoration reaches its zenith at Uxmal, where great swathes of patterned relief adorn the major structures along with the distinctive masks of the hook-nosed rain god Chac marking the corners. The cult of Chac was very important here, with rain collected in cisterns providing the principal source of water.
The city is believed to have been founded in the mid 7th century AD but abandoned before the Spanish conquest.
The most significant buildings here are the 'Pyramid of the Magician', the 'Nunnery Quadrangle', the 'Great Pyramid' and the 'Palace of the Governor', all of which represent the highest achievements and most ornate forms of the ancient Mayan Puuc style.
Pyramids near Karima in Northern Sudan silhoutted against the setting sun. These pyramids were built in the 8th Century BCE near the temple known as Jebel Barkal that was built in the 15th Centruy BC by the Egyptian and dedicated to the god Amun.
This pyramid is interesting because it was built to have a flat surface, which is visible at the top. Below that, people took the surface stones for their own uses, so the individual stones are visible.
