Definitively completed in the Swabian period, the Cathedral of Cefalù, which became a World Heritage Site in 2015, can now also be visited in its towers.

Built starting in 1131, its Romanesque style is enriched by Arab influences, and its appearance is pure wonder.

It is also possible to climb its Norman towers, which are different from each other: one is the square-plan tower, with battlements in the shape of flames, which would symbolize the papal miter and the power of the Church; the other is the octagonal-plan tower with Ghibelline merlons which would instead pay homage to the royal crown and the temporal power.

Definitivamente completato in età sveva, il Duomo di Cefalù, divenuto dal 2015 Patrimonio dell’Umanità può essere ora visitato anche nelle sue torri.

Costruito a partire dal 1131, Il suo stile romanico è arricchito da influenze arabe, e il suo aspetto è pura meraviglia.

E’ possibile salire anche sulle sue torri normanne, diverse l’una dall’altra: una è la torre a pianta quadrata, con merli a forma di fiammelle, che simboleggerebbe la mitria papale e il potere della Chiesa; l’altra è la torre a pianta ottagonale con merli ghibellini che omaggerebbe invece la corona reale e il potere temporale.

As I'm busy with work and real life getting in the way this weekend I won't be able to get out with the camera. So here's another shot from my trip to London in November. Taken as the sun was rising on a very cold morning on the South Bank. Probably London's most iconic bridge which is often mistaken as "London" Bridge.

Talan Towers are 145m high twin skyscrapers located in the centre of Astana. The Ritz Carlton Hotel is located in one of them.

The onion shaped tower of the late-gothic Basilica of SS. Ulrich and Afra in Augsburg, which was finalized in 1594, became a model of lots of Baroque onion shaped church towers in Bavaria.

The castle in Krasiczyn was built in Renaissance-Mannerist style in 16th and 17th centuries. The construction of castle was started by Stanisław Krasicki. Characteristic for it are 4 different corner towers: Divine, Papal, Royal and Noble. The castle is surrounded by a park.

At the beginning of World War II, the castle was robbed by Soviet soldiers. In 1940, in the castle, Soviet filmmakers made an anti-Polish film entitled "Wind from the East", justifying the invasion of the USSR together with Germany on Poland in September 1939.

Zamek w Krasiczynie był wybudowany w stylu renesansowo-manierystycznym w XVI i XVII wieku. Budowę zamku rozpoczął Stanisław Krasicki. Charakterystyczne dla niego są 4 odmienne wieże narożne: Boska, Papieska, Królewska i Szlachecka. Zamek jest otoczony parkiem.

Na początku II wojny światowej zamek został ograbiony przez żołnierzy sowieckich. W 1940 na terenie tego zamku filmowcy radzieccy zrobili antypolski film pt. „Wiatr ze Wschodu”, uzasadniający inwazję ZSRR razem z Niemcami na Polskę we wrześniu 1939.

Tower Bridge opens for Dixie Queen, a replica of a 19th century Mississippi paddle steamer and one of the largest boats regularly on the River Thames. The bridge was open soon after a dull sunset here, but the low tide enabled me to get to a spot not usually accessible.

Through the bridge you can just see a Christmas tree by City Hall.

We took a cruise on the Themes while on this trip and I got a different perspective of the Tower Bridge. It was a beautiful day with blue skies and white puffy clouds.

On our first trip to London over 40 years ago we actually climbed to the top but at our advanced age this view was good enough.

Enjoy.

A lovey view of Tower Bridge, which is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, it was built between 1886 and 1894. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London.
