View of the southern face of the Bent Pyramid's Satellite Pyramid, with the bent pyramid itself dominating the background. From this angle, the satellite pyramid bears even more resemblance to a rough pile of stones but, looking carefully it is possible to discern that the core masonry appears to have been laid in level courses, possibly indicating that it post dates the building of the Bent Pyramid - maybe even being more of a contemporary structure to the King's Red Pyramid)

My son collects quarters with state name on it. One day I ventured to his room and saw this creation. If you look closer, you will agree this would have taken lots of patience, focus and organisation.
Designed by the architect Ieoh Ming Pei, the Pyramid is the main entrance to the Louvre museum.
The Louvre is one of the world's largest museums ... and the most visited art museum in the world. It is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in Paris' 1st arrondissement.

Picture of Pyramid peak in Kodiak, wanted to climb, but ran out of time, going to try again next year.
A very specific geological process leads to these pyramids in Euseigne (Valais, Switzerland). This one looks scary with the storm approaching.
The Pyramidal Orchid, Anacamptis pyramidalis, is an orchid native to southwestern Eurasia, from western Europe through the Mediterranean region eastwards to Iran. In Germany, it is rare and was declared Orchid of the Year in 1990 to heighten awareness of this plant.
This hardy perennial plant grows to a height of 30 cm. The colour of the flower varies from pink to purple, or rarely white, and the scent is described as "foxy". The arrangement of hermaphroditic flowers in a compact pyramidal shape is very distinctive and gives the orchid its common name. The flowers are pollinated by butterflies and moths. The mechanism by which its pairs of pollinia attach themselves to an insect's proboscis was discovered by Charles Darwin and described in his book on the Fertilisation of Orchids.[1] This orchid requires a sunny spot on diverse soils: loamy or clay. It can even grow on very alkaline soil.
The dried and ground tuber gives a fine white powder, called salep. This is a very nutritious sweet starchlike substance. It is used in drinks, cereals and in making bread. It is also used medicinally in diets for children and convalescents.

Completed around 2560 BC, the Great Pyramid was constructed as a tomb for king Khufu.
It consists of about 2.3 million blocks, placed by workers who lived in a nearby town. It was once covered in a casing of polished white limestone, which was loosened by an earthquake and carted off to be used in construction projects around Cairo.
It is the sole survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
