There is a lush roundabout covered with Pyramidal orchids (Anacamptis pyramidalis) that the council seems to have only partially mown.
La Pyramide du Louvre fut commandée par le président de la République François Mitterrand en 1983. Elle a été conçue par l'architecte sino-américain Ieoh Ming Pei. Elle se situe au milieu de la cour Napoléon du Musée du Louvre à Paris.

Ces photos ont l'air de dessin de BD.
Surrounded by an electric fence, a nearby sign also clearly states:
"PRIVATE PROPERTY - TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED - CLIMBING ON THE PYRAMID STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Technically then, this is trespassing, however I did not notice this sign until I was leaving, and I thought the fence was to keep the rabbits out :(
Anyway, this is the fourth and final in a series of shots that I had planned to take over my Easter visit to Girraween.

This is a 16 minute exposure that was originally intended to be 30 minutes, but was terminated early due to a bunch of dirty clouds rolling in :(
Foreground is light painted (badly).

is the second-tallest and second-largest of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza and the tomb of the Fourth-Dynasty pharaoh Khafre (Chefren), who ruled from c. 2558 to 2532 BC.
The Great Sphinx of Giza is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. Facing directly from West to East, it stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The face of the Sphinx is generally believed to represent the pharaoh Khafre.

See the pyramid made of leaves
Blowing gently in the breeze
See it sway, see it rise
Trying to touch the passing skies
That floats above the pyramid, now seen
Rising tall and coloured green

Never thought that Pyramid Lake would have such amazing diversity of wildlife and landscape. It felt like the ocean or perhaps a dead sea.
Another item from the bucket list ticked.

The great pyramid at Giza, belonging to the first ruler of the 4th Dynasty Khufu, viewed from the cemetery for the Egyptian nobility located to its east. The offering chapel of a mastaba (bench) tomb is in the foreground, and behind it are the remains of the so-called "queens' pyramids". Old Kingdom, ca. 26th century BCE.
19e Pyramide de chaussures organisée samedi dernier par Handicap International pour que cesse le scandale des mines et des bombes à sous-munitions.
Les mines antipersonnel font encore une victime toutes les deux heures dans le monde ! Handicap International accompagne les victimes, démine les terres et prévient les accidents. L’association se mobilise également contre les restes explosifs de guerre (dont les bombes à sous-munitions) et leur usage en zones peuplées.
Pyramid, Scottish Highlands.
This wonder was erected by a broken hearted Queen Victoria in 1862 following the death of Prince Albert at age 42 the previous year. It sits on a picturesque hillside overlooking Balmoral Castle.
Victoria was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901.
The Bent Pyramid at Dashur, built for Snefru, on a hazy winter morning. The locally quarried masonry from which most of the monument is built is exposed at its crumbling base, with higher-quality imported limestone for the external sheathing. An unusual amount of this sheathing layer is still intact, in part due to Dashur's remote location. In contrast, the pyramids at Giza were largely stripped of their sheathing materials for reuse in Medieval and later buildings in Cairo.
Old Kingdom, 4th Dynasty, late 27th/early 26th century BCE, Dashur.
Pyramidal Orchid / anacamptis pyramidalis. Lindrick Common, South Yorkshire. 20/06/20.
I've never seen Pyramidal Orchids growing at Lindrick Common on any of my previous visits, so to find at least 25 plants was a treat this year. They were well distributed around the rough meadow grassland, their vibrant colours making them quite conspicuous. The majority of spikes I looked at closely were in near prime condition, surprising as it seemed rather late in their flowering season. This group of three looked particularly attractive amid the green vegetation. Check out some of the long, tubular spurs that are visible if the image is viewed large.

"As a result of the connection of the Principality of Hildesheim to the new Kingdom of Hanover, the former Derneburg Monastery was given to Count Ernst zu Münster by the King of England and Hanover in 1814. Together with his master builder Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves, the count designed an English landscape garden around the castle, the delightful remains of which attract many visitors to Derneburg today.
In 1839, the year Count Ernst zu Münster died, Laves was commissioned to design a worthy tomb for the Lords of Derneburg. Now the classicist architect should finally have the opportunity to realize an idea that recurs in his designs: the steep Egyptian pyramid. The massive, geometrically symmetrical design language of Egyptian architecture was gladly adopted by classicism. As a student, Laves had to copy drawings of Egyptian buildings and sculptures meticulously. He was certainly familiar with Piranesi's etchings from ancient Rome and thus also those of the 12th BC Cestius pyramid, which may have served as a model for him. The Derneburg pyramid is a little more than 11 meters high and its slope angle is 61 degrees. The door, bearing the Münster coat of arms, is surrounded by a double-wound Egyptian round bar, and an Egyptian groove with double-rowed leaf tips decorates the entrance. Despite all the worship of the Egyptian cult of the dead, the mausoleum remained recognizable as a Christian burial place by a large cross above the entrance. On the stone door there was originally a grave inscription attributed to the Freemasons: “The progression to perfection is eternal, although the trace disappears from the eye on the grave”.
Count Ernst zu Münster, his wife and their daughters are kept in sarcophagi in the pyramid. To the side of the pyramid lies his son, Prince Georg Herbert Münster zu Derneburg, his eldest daughter Marie, "the faithful daughter of her father" (funerary inscription) and a daughter of Count Ernst zu Münster. The following generations of the zu Munster family rest in the tombs in front of the pyramid: Alexander Fürst zu Munster, Georg Herbert's second son, his wife Muriel and their son Friedrich Graf zu Münster, who is still popularly known today as Graf Fredi. The Celtic high cross on the tomb of Princess Muriel indicates her origins in Scotland."

Ball's Pyramid is a remnant of a shield volcano and caldera that formed about 7 million years ago. It's 20 Km (12 miles) southeast of Lord Howe Island in the Pacific Ocean. Standing 562 metres (1,844 ft) high, it the tallest volcanic stack in the world and makes an impressive sight from the plane windows on approach to Lord Howe Island. Even from 20 Km it's quite a sight.
