Bryn Athyn Church is a congregation of the New Church.
life is built on a daily dose of spider web foundations
with boundless limitations
bounding about in an environment of wind and rain
held together with little use of a brain
no thought is needed no emotion depleted
just the touch of the Lords hand
and everything is repeated and repeated
until we either get it right
or end up in the blight
of His Judgement
so wake up and smell
there are no roses in hell
but we have a choice right now
ride the web to paradise
or be hanging on satans pair of dice
on the dash board to his paradise!
peace

Built between 1893 and 1903, the Winter Palace is where Mongolia’s eighth Living Buddha, and last king, Jebtzun Damba Hutagt VIII (often called the Bogd Khan), lived.
In the best tradition of all good Buddhists, the man had a passion for killing animals. Here there is a whole museum bristling with the stuffed remains of the exotic animals he slaughtered, not to mention the pelts of those who escaped the taxidermist's attention.
For reasons that are unclear, the palace was spared destruction by the Russians who turned it into a museum. The Russians levelled all his other palaces in the city.
The temple was built c. 440–430 BC.[2][3][4] The well-preserved peristasis of six by thirteen columns stands on a crepidoma of four steps (measuring 39.42 m × 16.92 m (129.3 ft × 55.5 ft), and 8.93 m (29.3 ft) high) The cella measures 28.36 m × 9.4 m (93.0 ft × 30.8 ft ] The columns are 6 m (20 ft) high and carved with twenty flutes and harmonious entasis (tapering at the tops of the columns and swelling around the middles).
It is constructed, like the nearby Temple of Juno, on a solid base designed to overcome the unevenness of the rocky terrain. It has been conventionally named after Concordia, the Roman goddess of harmony, for the Roman-era Latin inscription found nearby, which is unconnected with it.
If still in use by the 4th-and 5th century, it would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire. The temple was converted into a Christian basilica in the 6th century dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul by San Gregorio delle Rape, bishop of Agrigento and thus survived the destruction of pagan places of worship. The spaces between the columns were filled with walling, altering its Classical Greek form. The division between the cella, the main room where the cult statue would have stood in antiquity, and the opisthodomos, an adjoining room, was destroyed, and the walls of the cella were cut into a series of arches along the nave.mThe Christian refurbishments were removed during the restoration of 1785. According to another source, the Prince of Torremuzza transferred the altar elsewhere and began restoration of the classic building in 1788.
According to authors of a 2007 article, it is "apart from the Parthenon, the best preserved Doric temple in the world.

This is the First Congregational Church of Canterbury, which sits at the crossroads of Rt. 14 and Rt 169 in Connecticut. The original building was built in 1712. There have been four versions of the building. It is burned twice. The last time was in 1964 then it was rebuilt the next year. We were raised Catholic, but my sister’s former husband was not. This was his church. So my sister got married here. The little white building to the right (you can only see the roof) was the first school house in town—until 1947, I think. When I was growing up, it was our town library. Read many a Nancy Drew sitting at a little wooden table and chair in the building.

Ancient ruin somewhere near Cedar Creek, AZ. Inaccessible without ropes, this ruin may have been used to store grains. The entrance is well hidden from view on the canyon floor. I found it by accident while climbing around. Notice the chinking done with small flat stones.

Built between 1908-1912, Fonthill was the home of Henry Chapman Mercer (1856-1930). Archaeologist, anthropologist, ceramist, scholar and antiquarian, Mercer built Fonthill both as his home and as a showplace for his collection of tiles and prints. The first of three Mercer buildings in Doylestown, Fonthill served as a showplace for Mercer’s famed Moravian tiles that were produced during the American Arts & Crafts Movement. Designed by Mercer, the building is an eclectic mix of Medieval, Gothic, and Byzantine architectural styles, and is significant as an early example of poured reinforced concrete.
The castle was built in the 12th century and only a few walls remain. It has a wonderful view over the valley below. Taken on a lovely sunny day last week - but with heavy showers but worth getting wet for! The view from the castle is quite wonderful. The river meanders slowly to the sea. At high tide the whole of the valley is flooded.
Elegant Hindu shrines built in 700 AD . It is considered the finest early example of medieval southern Indian temple architecture. Unlike most of its neighbours at the site, it is built of cut stones rather than carved out of caves. It has two shrines, one dedicated to Shiva and the other to Vishnu. Its style is characterized by a pyramidal kutina-type tower that consists of stepped stories topped by a cupola and finial, a form quite different from the northern Indian sikhara. The Mamallapuram monuments and temples, including the Shore Temple complex, were collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. Marco Polo and the European merchants who came to Asia after him called the site Seven Pagodas. One of these is believed to be the Shore Temple. Temple complex in the category of structural temples goes to the King Rajasimha (700–728 AD), also known as Narasimhavarman II, of the Pallava Dynasty. It is now inferred that this temple complex was the last in a series of temples that seemed to exist in the submerged coastline; this is supported by the appearance of an outline of its sister temples off the coast during the Tsunami of 2004 which struck this coastline.

The Arrábida Monastery was built in the 16th century and consists of the Old Monastery (located on the uppermost part of the hillside), the New Monastery (halfway down), the Garden and the Bom Jesus Shrine, set in the property’s 25 hectares. In addition, there are the adjacent but separate quarters of the Duke of Aveiro and the houses where the pilgrims stayed.
The Old Monastery, which stands at the highest point of the Arrábida hills, consists of four chapels, the series of shrines on the mystery of Christ’s Passion and some cells hewn out of the rocks.
The monastery was founded in 1542 by Friar Martinho de Santa Maria, a Castilian Franciscan who was granted the land by D. João de Lencastre (1501-1571), the first Duke of Aveiro.
The Memória Shrine already existed where the Old Monastery now stands. This was a destination of major pilgrimages and also where the first four Arrábida monks (Martinho de Santa Maria, Diogo de Lisboa, Francisco Pedraita and St. Peter of Alcántara) lived for two years in cells cut into the rocks.
