The Wawel Castle is a castle residency located in central Kraków, Poland. Built at the behest of King Casimir III the Great, it consists of a number of structures situated around the Italian-styled main courtyard. The castle, being one of the largest in Poland, represents nearly all European architectural styles of medieval, renaissance and baroque periods.
The Wawel Royal Castle and the Wawel Hill constitute the most historically and culturally significant site in the country. In 1978 it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Historic Centre of Kraków.

I was rambling inside the old British residency at Lucknow. I noticed that the guy was crying ( I don't know why) and his fiancée was trying to console him.
Villa Cerami was the residence of the family Rosso of Cerami. Built a few years after the earthquake that hit the city in 1693, the villa was bought by Domenico Rosso, Prince of Cerami III, in the first half of the eighteenth century.
During their residency, family Cerami embellished the villa with Baroque decorations and precious furniture. In 1881 the villa also had special guests, King Umberto and Queen Margherita, in honor of whom was held an elegant dinner with dancing.
With the partial destination of the residence to a branch of Istituto Magistrale “G. Turrisi Colonna “, and, then, with the loss of some artwork, the twentieth century was a period of decline for Villa Cerami. But thanks to its acquisition in 1957 by the University of Catania, the villa returned to its former glory.

The Wawel Royal Castle is a castle residency located in central Kraków, Poland, and the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in the world. Built at the behest of King Casimir III the Great, it consists of a number of structures from different periods situated around the Italian-styled main courtyard. Wikipedia
The castle is part of a fortified architectural complex erected atop a limestone outcrop on the left bank of the Vistula River, at an altitude of 228 metres above sea level. The complex consists of numerous buildings of great historical and national importance, including the Wawel Cathedral where Polish monarchs were crowned and buried. Some of Wawel's oldest stone buildings can be traced back to 970 AD, in addition to the earliest examples of Romanesque and Gothic architecture in Poland.[5][6] The current castle was built in the 14th-century, and expanded over the next hundreds of years. In 1978 Wawel was declared the first World Heritage Site as part of the Historic Centre of Kraków.
For centuries the residence of the kings of Poland and the symbol of Polish statehood, Wawel Castle is now one of the country's premier art museums. Established in 1930, the museum encompasses ten curatorial departments responsible for collections of paintings, including an important collection of Italian Renaissance paintings, prints, sculpture, textiles, among them the Sigismund II Augustus tapestry collection, goldsmith's work, arms and armor, ceramics, Meissen porcelain, and period furniture. The museum's holdings in oriental art include the largest collection of Ottoman tents in Europe. With seven specialized conservation studios, the museum is also an important center for the conservation of works of art.
The Royal Archcathedral Basilica of Saints Stanislaus and Wenceslaus on the Wawel Hill (Polish: Królewska Bazylika Archikatedralna śś. Stanisława i Wacława na Wawelu), also known as the Wawel Cathedral (Polish: Katedra Wawelska), is a Roman Catholic church and cathedral of the Archdiocese of Kraków, located on Wawel Hill in Kraków, Poland. More than 900 years old, it is the Polish national sanctuary and traditionally has served as coronation site of the Polish monarchs. The current, Gothic cathedral, is the third edifice on this site: the first was constructed and destroyed in the 11th century; the second one, constructed in the 12th century, was destroyed by a fire in 1305. The construction of the current one began in the 14th century on the orders of bishop Nanker. Wikipedia

Mirit Ben-Nun develops a style where he tries to demonstrate the manifestation of movement, rhythmic repetition and the speed of objects on the canvas.In the process the artist often asks difficult questions or causes reflection without giving easy answers. Her curiosity, your open mind and a commitment to dialogue are her best tools to address your artworks.
These works often challenge our ideas about how art should look or how it should behave. Her art is not based on what was said before and does not depend on the academies of art, breaks traditions, and does not imitate the real world, it is an art that transmits through its works the inner world of the artist. Through imprecise and significant characters, it radiates different ideas about the reality of the world of human dreams.Mirit gives us a clear idea that art is not separated from life and from the real world in which we live, reflects thoughts with style and unique focus.
Mirit Ben-Nun uses lines and points as an expressive resource and does so by exploiting nuances and associations to their fullest. Some forms follow the same direction and others change constantly, even urgently. Its language is visual and independent of its expressiveness; it lies in the value and organization of its elements.
The 'things' of the visual world are unimportant, the point is the achievement of reproduction of the world and human nature. Constantly encouraging creativity. In this case pointillism conveys emotions by the effect of using color, points, lines and thus capturing the attention of the observer.

Set number #300 - time for something special.
It was a cold winter morning in 2009. I drove to the usual rendez-vous parking spot to meet up with my buddy NeQo. I finished my take-away cup of black gold and packed my stuff, ready to go, off for a full day of decay.
Once seated I pulled out my endless list of places to visit. But NeQo insisted on skipping those. I'm taking you somewhere else...
After driving for 50 minutes we pulled over to a bewildered piece of land. I could spot a decayed house between the trees, with late medieval touches, but had no idea what to expect. Until NeQo told me. This is Residency Theodoricus, my friend.
Now I've seen a couple of old places, but this one tops the list. It's from the 1600's and no noteworthy changes have been made to the house. What started as a regular mill was later transformed into a brewery of fine liquors. It's a family affair and the brewery was never commercialized or sold to a large investor. Good!
On with the explore. The place itself is divided into two parts: the stables with a tasting gallery, and the house itself. I checked some windows and doors from the residential part, but it was locked tight. Before squeezing ourselves through a bathroom window we started out with the stables and tasting gallery. Which turned out to be an antiques goldmine. Record players, old radio transistors, Solex motorcycles, unopened pre-WW2 wine bottles, rifles of hunters, wooden horses for children, ...
We went up the attic and and unreal scenery opened up for our eyes: the complete attic was covered in gigantic cobwebs. This must be the result of 410 years of cobwebs in the making. I had to wade through this white jungle a couple of times to take my shots. 10 minutes later all my clothes were wrapped up in spider webs. On top of that my pants were completely white because of the chalk of the very unstable and rotten floor. And right there, amidst this chaotic maze, we popped a beer. Cheers. To 400 years of dust.
Right after we finished our beer we continued the program, on to the second part: the house. I checked the door handle of the house again. Shock! It was open. Now I've might been slightly tipsy because of the beer but I knew this door was locked one hour ago. We went inside. Hello? Anyone here? Silence. We closed the door. My buddy NeQo went inside the living room. Hello? And old & cracky voice sounded from below. Yes! Hold on a minute. Dang! Someone lives here? We went back to the door, to make it look like we were just entering.
A skinny man in his late fifties shows up. Looks like's he's been missing a few lessons on personal hygiene. Bad teeth. Greasy hair. And an overal neglected look. But he seems calm. My buddy tells him we're photographers, interested in heritage. Always works, you know. The old man tells us he's the son of the old lady who lived here. She passed away in 2003. He grew up in this house, but can't maintain it. None of the children want to maintain it. The property will be sold, lock stock & barrel.
After a short brief into the history of this place the old man looks at me. And inspects me. I know I look horrible. I'm completely covered in cobwebs and my pants are powdered with white chalk. I'm wearing gloves and a hat, all wrapped up by silken threads of little spiders. I see them hanging in front of my glasses. I'm coughing dust. I'm a total mess. There's this awkward silence, and with the 0.5 liter beer still fresh I can barely hold myself from laughing. Where on earth have you been crawling out? must he been thinking. But the old chap doesn't say a word.
I cannot hold it any longer. Break the silence. Can we take pictures here?, I ask. Once again the old man scans me completely. Did my breath revealed the beer we just drank? Did he pay attention to the chalk on my shoes? Did he notice the cobwebs in front of my eyes? Does he even know the attic is one gigantic spiderweb? Finally, an answer.
No. Sorry boys, you can't take pictures here!
And off we were, bursting out in joy once we were out of sight. Great explore. Thanks mate!
The British Residency at Lucknow was built in 1800. It was the scene of the great siege of Lucknow. The British Residency was the place that served as a refuge for approximately 3000 British inhabitants during the time of the uprising (Sepoy Mutiny) of 1857. Lucknow was center of all British activities during the siege and the Residency became the monopolistic center of the British for almost 90 days.
The Residency still has within its walls, the graves of around 2000 British soldiers who died in the Revolt of 1857. The people of Lucknow tell intriguing stories of British who fled from their homes to seek shelter in these red buildings. Only a 1000 inhabitant survived this tough ordeal. On November 17th, the British troops led by Sir Colin Campbell defeated the Indian forces. Though they triumphed, it was victory in the true sense.
Today, the British Residency of Lucknow serves as a government office. The Residency also has a museum that is well-maintained by the authorities. One also finds the tombs Sadat Ali Khan, who was the first Nawab of Awadh, Kaisarbagh Palace and an observatory built for Colonel Wilcox, who was a British astronomer.

In the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the garrison based at the Residency in Lucknow was besieged by rebel forces. Today the ruins of the Residency, and the picturesque Shaheed Smarak offer reminiscences of Lucknow's role in the Mutiny.

Ziarat (Urdu: زیارت) is the capital of Ziarat District, Balochistan, Pakistan. It is located at 30°22'47N 67°43'38E with an altitude of 2543 metres (8346 ft) and is a famous holiday resort of Balochistan and nearly every trip from Karachi to Quetta stops at Ziarat. Ziarat (literally ziarat is an Islamic shrine) was the summer residence of the chief commissioner of Baluchistan, and sanatorium for the European troops at Quetta: 8,850 ft (2,700 m). above the sea .
The Residency was constructed in 1892. It is an important building, the whole building is actually a wooden structure beautifully designed and has great architectural importance. It was originally meant to be a sanatorium, and it was converted into the summer residence of the Agent of the Governor General. It is now a national monument. It was here that Jinnah (Quaid-e-Azam), the founder of Pakistan, spent his last days. The local people believe that the Jinnah had in fact breathed his last here in Ziarat, contrary to the official reports that he expired in Karachi on 11 September, 1948, the day he was shifted there from Ziarat. The residency building is a majestic piece of architecture, but people visit it primarily for its association with the leader.
