Fatehpur Sikri, es una población abandonada situada a solo 20 kilómetros de Agra, en la India. Fue el sueño del Emperador mogol Akbar. Construida como auténtica ciudad palaciega dotada de todo tipo de edificaciones civiles y religiosas con la idea de que se convirtiera en la capital del Imperio Mogol y lo fue durante unos catorce años hasta que sucumbió a la falta de agua, fue abandonada y pasó a dormir el sueño de los justos
Fue abandonada pero no destruida. De esta manera, esta ciudad edificada en piedra arenisca rojiza puede visitarse tal como se edificó en el último tercio de siglo XVI.
La Unesco incluyó la ciudad de Fatehpur Sikri dentro de la lista del Patrimonio Mundial en 1986.

a short fly to Dresden - the saxonian capital. Enjoy the view from the Frauenkirche and think about Canaletto. Why he love Dresden?
Esta es la capital de la isla francesa de Córcega. Aquí se puede apreciar La Ciudadela, que está situada en un sitio estratégico para proteger a la ciudad de Ajaccio de los posibles ataques marítimos. El fuerte fue construido en 1492, y luego hubo ampliaciones a partir de mediados del siglo XVI. Se destruyen numerosos edificios, entre ellos la iglesia Sainte-Croix, primera catedral de la ciudad. La ciudadela cuenta con un “castello”, un torreón y seis bastiones. No es posible visitarla, puesto que pertenece al ejército.
Satin bower-bird female visiting my back yard.
These birds love to play with blue toys, so I throw out the milk carton tops which they take away to their bower. Then they come back and pull my blue flowers to pieces.
But, they are fun to watch, so I try to grow enough flowers for both of us.

Cancale
is a commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany in northwestern France.
Cancale lies along the coast to the east of Saint-Malo.
It is a picturesque fishing port popular with visitors, many of whom are drawn by its reputation as the "oyster capital" of Brittany.
Though a small town, it is well served by a large number of restaurants, many specialising in seafood.
When not eating one can sit and watch the bustle of this busy little town with many stalls selling crustaceans of all types.

The capital of Slovakia might seem a very low profile location for the exuberant and over-the-top architecture of Zaha Hadid Architects. Nevertheless, they decided to dot the city´s skyline with SKY PARK, which is a set of 3 similar 105m tall skyscrapers. They are located in the all too modern district of Nivy
On way out after spending the day at Capital Reef National Park I pulled over the side of the road and scrambled on top of a boulder to take one of my last shots for the day.
Le case di Codera sormontate dalle imponenti sagome del Sass Becchè 2726 m e del Monte Gruf 2936 m
La Val Codera è una valle secondaria della Valchiavenna nel comune di Novate Mezzola in provincia di Sondrio. Vi sono situati i villaggi di Codera, Avedée, Saline, Piazzo, Stoppadura, Bresciadega, Coeder, Cii, Cola e S.Giorgio di Cola.
La sua caratteristica peculiare di essere raggiungibile solo a piedi favorì nel dopoguerra un rapido spopolamento. Nel 1933 risiedevano nei vari nuclei della valle ancora circa 500 persone, nel 2001 a Codera sono stati censiti 10 abitanti.
Une vue vers le nord de à partir du Largo Portas do Sol, à Lisbonne, capitale du Portugal.
C’est sur cette place que se trouve le Miradouro das Portas do Sol, un belvédère qui est orné d'un kiosque et de la statue de saint Vincent tenant dans ses mains l'emblème de Lisbonne, soit le bateau et ses 2 corbeaux. La place tient son nom de l'ancienne porte est de la ville. On peut d'ailleurs voir un vestige de la muraille wisigothe. Ici on constate que l'Alfama, ce quartier passionnant et pittoresque, s'éveille en fin de journée, lorsque les habitants sortent de chez eux et que les petites tavernes se remplissent.
À la fois fluviale et océanique, Lisbonne, une ville bâtie au milieu de 7 collines, s'ouvre sur l'estuaire du Tage. À l'époque romaine, ce port nommé Olisippo était la 2e ville de Lusitania après Emerita Augusta (Mérida). Ville d'échanges, lieu de brassage des cultures, capitale prestigieuse d'un pays modeste, Lisbonne est aujourd'hui le symbole du dynamisme national et apparaît, après plusieurs décennies de travaux, moderne et créative. Elle reste aussi la ville du fado chanson traditionnelle basée sur la nostalgie et la tristesse.

fontaine Wallace sur la contre allée des Champs-Elysées à proximité du Pavillon Yannick Alléno.
Ces fontaines qui se présentent sous la forme de petits édicules en fonte présents dans plusieurs villes dans le monde ont été dessinées par Charles-Auguste Lebourg, elles tiennent leur nom de Richard Wallace, le philanthrope britannique qui finança leur édification.
Elles sont souvent associées par les étrangers à l'image de Paris, car c'est dans cette ville qu’elles furent implantées en premier et qu’on en trouve le plus en France.
Fontaine Wallace on the counter alley of the Champs-Elysées near the Pavillon Yannick Alléno.
These fountains, which take the form of small cast iron aedicules found in several cities around the world, were designed by Charles-Auguste Lebourg, they take their name from Richard Wallace, the British philanthropist who financed their construction.
They are often associated by foreigners with the image of Paris, because it is in this city that they were first established and that we find the most of them in France.
