I visited this very popular winery where I live with a friend that was visiting from Vernon, B.C.

Summerhill Winery, Kelowna, B.C.

or the Pyramid Winery.

Arrive by bus and be prepared to walk the gauntlet of vendors. They are persistent but pleasant. Best bet is to walk fast and look down.

This was discovered growing wild among the dog daisies on our back lawn.

A nacamptis pyramidalis. An orchid that flourishes on chalk and limestone grassland.The scent is foxy with a distinct musky overtone.[ apparently].

85 pays et territoires sont pollués par des mines et des sous-munitions non explosées. Elles représentent un danger mortel pour les civils et participent à l’appauvrissement des populations.

Les mines antipersonnel et les bombes à sous-munitions sont des armes qui bafouent le droit humanitaire international et tuent en majorité des civils pendant et après les conflits.

did King Tut ever stand on his?

made for a school project that turned out to be an epic fail on the classes part. no one knew who pyramid head was...

The top of Khafra's pyramid. This is the second largest one, although because of the way it is positioned it sometimes looks bigger than the Great Pyramid. We went inside this one.

You get a little wine into the Lenk family and they just start to randomly form structures. Convenient if it starts to rain! Self-assembling Lenkbrella!

I didn't dare go into this pyramid cos of my claustrophobia. Stayed outside and took pics instead.

The Satellite Pyramid which forms part of the Pyramid Complex of Sneferu's Bent Pyramid, as seen from the south-east corner of the latter monument; it is actually aligned with the centre of the Bent Pyramid's southern face.

 

Although such dummy tombs had been known since the time of Netjer-ikhet Djoser's Step Pyramid, at Saqqara, with its South Tomb, their actual purpose within the funerary rituals & beliefs is still subject to debate.

 

(I should admit that, despite having been visiting Dashur since the late 1990's, this is the first time I'd managed to walk completely around the base of the Bent Pyramid & seen its satellite.)

Another view of the Bent Pyramid, from a point approximately 1/4 of the way along the eastern face of the Red Pyramid

Fooling around with my zoom lens, getting a closeup of the blocks at the top of Djoser's pyramid.
