the great pyramid of khufu is said to contain 2.3 million stone blocks. it's base has sides that measure 230 meters and it originally stood 146 meters high until it was robbed of it's outer casing and capstone.
The Pyramid of Caius Cestius, was built as his tomb in about 12BC. Its 36m tall and 29.5 wide (118x97 feet).The Pyramid was later built into the Aurelian wall, which helped to preserve it.
This community of Pyramid shaped homes and condo rentals is unique all by itself, but it also includes a large Beethoven bust (maybe 16' tall) and a bit smaller version of the Egyptian Sphinx. Near Estero, Florida. (Listed in Weird US / Roadside America) More related photos on my photostream.
We've come a long way from the Red Pyramid in Dahshur, to the ones we see around today.
While the one thing that stands as a mark of constancy is the overall geometric shape, everything else, from their purpose, to their internal structure and aesthetics has undergone a vast change.
This evolution notwithstanding, these architectural spectacles continue to enthrall mankind with their symmetry and grace. Pyramids will undoubtedly continue to do so for as long as they exist, or maybe even longer.
The Glass Pyramid at the Louvre in Paris at sun set ... don't bother trying to take pictures of this outside with 1000's of tourist swarming the place with their tripods and dslr's ... go indoors and walk through the Greek sculpture displays and wait for sunset ... and you get a different perspective.

Pyramids of GüÃmar . Tenerife.
Mysterious and controversial, but still worth a visit, especially for the very nice garden next to it, the great documentary about adventurer Thor Heyerdahl and his travels and the Rapa Nui exhibition.
The site is very well maintained and organized, but they emphasize a little too much on the Thor Heyerdahl theory, ignoring pretty much all other theories about the origins of the Pyramids.
From Wikipedia.
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. There are claims that the structures have been dated to the 19th century and their original function explained as a byproduct of contemporary agricultural techniques. However, results of excavations have so far proved inconclusive.
Other pyramids employing the same methods and materials of construction can be found in various sites on Tenerife. In GüÃmar itself there were nine pyramids, only six of which survive.

Again I used a cad program to help in my research on the Henry Crater pyramid, The image I posted here is one step closer in deciphering the mystery of what is and what appears to be a more complexed evidence locale, I want to reiterate the importance of going to my first pyramid image and follow through the sequence of images and discoveries that brings me to this image I'm posting today.
On the left side is the pyramid image that contains markings in white where I believe are the locations of shadows from a cable line, In the previous pyramid images I outlined the basic shape of the pyramid and a tube like structure coming from underneath the surface, here I extend that knowledge to include more elements of this structure and the immediate area surrounding it. the shadows are visible and one can even follow them to their destinations, and at each point where the shadow changes direction there's a corresponding structure.
The top right image is the same pyramid but this time I did a more complete outline of the structure, I pointed out how the pyramid corner has been lowered to except the cable for clearance.
EXTRAPOLATION OF VISIBLE OBJECTS;
In the bottom right image (blue border) is everything compiled together, the dashed line is the shadow and not the actual cable, hence the off-centering of the top right azimuth angle of the dashed line (to the darker structure underneath), the suns angle is towards the top & slightly left of center, I believe the actual cable does go to the center of that upper right dark structure.

The Transamerica Pyramid is the tallest and most recognizable skyscraper in the San Francisco skyline. It raises 260 metros above ground and contains 48 floors, and its construction took place between 1969 and 1972. The façade is covererd in crushed quartz, giving the building its white colour.

I drove out to Pyramid Lake on the Paiute Reservation with the intention of exploring the area, taking a few photos and camping for the night. I forgot this was the day that 40,000 people would be driving up the same road to Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert a bit up the road. I was caught up in an amazing caravan of every type vehicle known to man. I got to Red Bay around mid day and the light was harsh but I took a few digital photos and got wet. This is some beautiful landscape with a strong natural mystic

Pyramidal Orchid (Anacamptis pyramidalis), at Pynes Hill, Ludwell Valley Park, Exeter, Devon, England.
A widespread, but local orchid on limestone and chalk, and near the coast, especially on dunes. It's not very common in Devon due to the relative scarcity of calcareous soils.

I first recorded a single flower spike of this species at the same spot in 2008 and it has apparently appeared each year since (see previous photos from 2008 and 2009 below):
