Built in 1670 by the king Rana Jagatsingh of Udaipur (Rajasthan), thus it is called as Rana Mahal ghat of Ganga river at Varanasi . During his pilgrimage to Kashi the king has taken shelter in this palace. The palace is a distinct example of Rajasthani style of architecture.

Here is a "Postcard from Paris" for you. I am not going to Paris this year, and I miss this treasure of a place....so I am reposting a series of Paris shots that bring me back there in spirit. I'll post a few more of these favorites of mine that most new contacts have never seen, until I have time to process a new set of California pictures I took recently. So for now.....here's what the 'postcard' says: ;0)
"Dear Flickr friends....We have just spent two hours in this interesting place, and are on our way up to the terrace to have some espresso and a tarte aux pommes or some other such delicious treat. It's a clear winter afternoon and one can see for miles to the west. The view from the top is fantastic!! All those roofs with their little red chimneys! Inside the museum I especially loved seeing the collection of Kandinskys.
This museum was built on the site of a historic marketplace Les Halles. I wish I had had a chance to visit it when it was still here. It was demolished in 1972 when President Pompidou decided to clear out that historic Marais landmark and build an edifice that people would remember him by. It's a fascinating architecture, and fun place to visit in any case. But enjoying history as much as I do, I wonder what the Halles used to be like. Anyway, we had a fantastic view from up here!! The air was clear enough so you could see miles and miles to the west and southwest. The tarte aux pommes was delicious and it was great to sit outside on this warm winter's day in the fresh air. They even had a rose on each little table on the terrace. Wish you were here!! :o)
Bye for now! - Rita"

Montmartre is the highest hill in Paris, and a village atmosphere still pervades these ancient streets. There's a great description of it in Wikipedia if you like history: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montmartre.
It was incorporated into the city of Paris in the 1800's and became legendary because of the modern artists who lived here in the 1920's, such as Vincent van Gogh, Pierre Brissaud, Alfred Jarry, Gen Paul, Jacques Villon, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Henri Matisse, André Derain, Suzanne Valadon, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Maurice Utrillo, Toulouse-Lautrec, Théophile Steinlen. Those artists gave shape and color to our world in a way that had never been seen before, and I salute them!

Part of the allure to Palm Springs, CA has always been the abundance of mid-modern architecture. This past weekend I finally got a chance to go and do a little exploring around the city and surrounding areas and enjoy the creativity and uniqueness of the city. This shot is from the old Tramway Gas Station at the foot of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. It was designed by Albert Frey who said the hyperbolic paraboloid shape was a prime example of modernism in architecture.

MuCEM + Fort Saint-Jean, Marseille, France - 2013 -Architects: Rudy Ricciotti and C+T architecture
Views, sea, sun, a mineral quality, which all must be orchestrated by a program that will become federal and cognitive. First of all a perfect square of 72 m per side, it is a classic plan, Latin, under the control of Pythagoras. Within this square, another of 52 m per side, comprising the exhibition and conference halls identified as the heart of the museum.
Around, above and below are the service areas. But between these areas and the heart, openings entirely bypass the central square and form interconnected spaces. More interested by the views of the fort, the sea or the port, the culturally overwhelmed visitor will choose this route. Along two interlacing ramps, he will then plunge into the imaginary of the tower of Babel or of a ziggurat in order to climb up to the rooftop and on to Fort Saint- Jean. This peripheral loop will be a free breathe, enveloped by the smells of the sea from the proximity to the moats, a pause to dispel any lingering doubts about the use of the history of our civilizations. The MuCEM will be a vertical Casbah.
The tectonic choice of an exceptional concrete coming from the latest research by French industry, reducing the dimensions to little more than skin and bones, will affirm a mineral script under the high ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean. This sole material in the colour of dust, matt, crushed by the light, distant from the brilliance and technological consumerism, will commend the dense and the delicate. The MuCEM sees itself evanescent in a landscape of stone and Orientalist through its fanning shadows.

Certosa di Padula, chiostro Grande.
Chartreuse of Padula, the Great Cloister.
Quando io penso alla Certosa penso subito all'aggettivo "grande"...
When I think about the Chartreuse I immediately think about the adjective "great"...
A remarkable volume consisting of a series of photographs of completed and proposed schemes developed by the Arndale Property Trust Ltd of Bradford, West Yorkshire, but whose influence was nationwide and indeed, in the case of their Australian develoments, worldwide. It is not dated but, given the schemes shown and their status I would say c1965.
Most British residents of 'a certain age' will recall Arndale Centres - the most lasting legacy of this development company that grew out of post-WW2 land acquisition and redevelopment opportunities. The name is a portmanteau, adopted when the company was formed in 1950, from the names of the founders - Arnold Hagenbach and Sam Chippendale. Their primary function was the redevelopment of central areas of towns and cities - those planned on comprehensive lines 'as suggested by the Ministry of Housing & Local Government but also more 'local' schemes where Arndale worked 'in partnership' with the local authority. These latter schemes were possibly where they 'scored' as many local authorities lacked the capital to acquire properties for comprehensive redevelopment whereas Arndale's developers pockets were deeper and more flexible.
The early schemes were often redeveloments along existing street lines that re-institued shops often with offices to lease above, but, as the Sixties appeared, and following on from UK 'New Town' precinct developments and examples from the US, Arndale started to develop larger schemes of enclosed shopping malls and centres. Their largest, and probably greatest triumph, was that of the Arndale Centre in Manchester - a huge centre that took a very large chunk out of the existing city centre and that eradicated entire streets and street pattern.
When opened, and for many years after, Arndale's were highly successful. They often insisted on having some larger stores and 'anchor' tenants - such as F W Woolworth or Boots - to make schemes both worthwhile and to attract other smaller businesses and trade. They were seen as beneficial - sweeping away the old when Victorian buildings were regarded as 'tired' and much war damaged property was still extant. Now, with the benefit if hindsight Arndale's - and their competitors by other similar property companies - are seen as having been the first step in the homoginisation of the High Street. The architectural and build qualities were often not that high and the structures aged badly quite quickly. Many are now, in turn, being re-developed themselves. But, they play an important role in Britain's post-war social and economic history and the name is still familiar over 70 years on.
These two views, by architectural watercolourist Peter Sainsbury, show the in-development Arndale Centre in the Yorkshire town of Doncaster. As noted, Arndale's had started to buy up property on the site bounded by Frenchgate and St. Sepulchre Gate in 1959 and this large development finally opened on 4 October 1968 - wiping out a large chunk of the old street pattern of Doncaster. In recent years it has been refurnished and extended, to include a new transport interchange, and was renamed the Frenchgate Centre. As can be seen the two major anchors were major department stores both of which have now gone from the UK's High Streets - Littlewood's and British Home Stores.
The watercolours are marvelllous depictions of their age - the brave new world of Doncaster! - and show the very brutalist style of external architecture that many Arndale Centres used.
This is one of the views from inside the "Forum mall" in Hyderabad. The architectural views are amazing and the building is really big. It didn't take long for security to spot me and to tell me that I couldn't take any pictures. I told them it was just for fun but at least they let me keep one of the images that I took and here I'm sharing it with you all.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.
[Isaiah 26:3-4 NIV]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
