Possibly not when it's 36°C.

Not completely sure why she was dressed like this (for the attention? was at a more adult party? dunno) but I definitely admired the view and very politely thanked her for taking a few moments to pose for me.
FYI: This came very close to my comfort level limits for photography.
The Cladance Moss operation of Sinclair Horticulture Ltd near East Kilbride on 29th March 2011, with 2ft 6in gauge Alan Keef 4-wheel diesel-hydraulic '05 581' (Works No.18 of 1985) heading a loaded train from the moss to the tippler, passing a peat harvesting machine, and one of two trains in operation that day. This was the last commercial narrow gauge peat railway in mainland Britain and sadly the railway operation was abandoned upon Sinclair Horticulture Ltd being taken by Westland Horticulture Ltd in August 2015. The Barclay had previously worked at Nobels Explosives Co. Ltd Ardeer Works, which was a subsidiary of I.C.I. Ltd, hence the company logo on the cab. This peat operation is believed to have commenced in the 1980s, but the railway was not installed until as recently as 1997.

Classical residential building like in many towns in Transylvania, where many balconies are usually modified in loggias.
“There is nothing in the world more beautiful than the forest clothed to its very hollows in snow. It is the still ecstasy of nature, wherein every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed, every intricacy of twig, is clad with radiance.” William Sharp
Two chador clad muslim women climb the ancient Zoroastrian towers of silence on the outskirts of the desert at Yazd, Iran.
Standing testament to the religion that was born in Persia and spread as far as India before Islam, the towers are now unused despite the large Zoroastrian population living in the region.
Zoroaster taught of the purity of the earth and how it should never be tainted, followers who died were not buried or cremated but placed on top of these towers and left to nature. The cycle of life was complete when the corpse was eaten by vultures, a good or bad afterlife was determined by which eye they picked out and ate first.
Today Yazd is the religious centre for zoroastrians the world over, although their burial rites are less gruesome nowadays, they have their own graveyard just near these towers, where they are buried encased in cement!
The current century old Miami-Dade County Courthouse at 73 Flagler Street will see a new neighbor rise across the street; the new 474-foot-tall, 25-story Miami-Dade County Civil and Probate Courthouse was approved by the Miami-Dade Rapid Transit Developmental Impact Committee back in February of 2021. Designed by HOK, the 537,968-square-foot courthouse building is anticipated to become one of the tallest governmental-use towers in Miami.
Plenary Group, an Australian infrastructure investment firm, is the developer behind the proposals for the new courthouse under Plenary Justice Miami, LLC. The narrow piece of property is located within the western portion of Downtown Miami, also recognized as a part of the Central Business District, and in close proximity to the Government Center Metromover Station and the Interstate 95; bounded by Northwest 1st Avenue to the west, West Flagler Street to the south, Northwest 1st Street to the north and the HistroyMiami Museum to the south. Being that the property is owned by Miami-Dade County, developers had to submit a bid to be selected, where Plenary Group’s proposal was picked as the winner, likely due to the lower construction costs for the project. Other competing proposals were submitted by M-S-E Judicial Partners LLC and Sacyr Infrastructure USA.
Renderings from HOK reveal several elevations with offset window forms, creating a jagged-like texture from afar. The structure will be made of reinforced concrete and clad in what appears to be light-grey masonry with hints of metal trims scattered throughout the building and large floor-to-ceiling glazed windows. The eastern elevation facing the old courthouse features a slightly protruding volume enclosed in glass as well.
Likely due to minimizing construction costs, Miami-Dade County is permitting the project to proceed overriding several regulations. The parking garage will not require screening, and only 11% of the site will be open space whereas the requirement is typically 15%. A building’s facade normally requires 40% glazing, but in this case it will be at 27%. The proposed development can have blank walls facing the public without an artistic expressions such as mosaics or murals, and 0 site trees will be planted, whereas the required amount is 30.

The Mihai Voda Monastery, dedicated to Saints Michael and Gabriel, was founded in 2002 (September 10th) at the initiative of His Eminence, the late Metropolitan Bartolomeu Anania, pastor of this diocese at that time, and is the only monastery of the Metropolitanate that was built at his proposal.
In 2001, during the commemoration of Voivode Michael the Brave, his Eminence, who was attending the ceremony exclaimed that it would be appropriate for a monastery to be erected in the very place where the Voivode, unifier of the country, had lost his life, to honor his memory and for his name to be ceaselessly remembered in the holy shrine. Readily reacting to the initiative, the local authorities soon donated the land needed for the monastery and, so, its construction began in 2002 under the supervision of Father Vasile Stiopei from Turda, a famous founder of sanctuaries.
The Necropolis Monastery is an architectural copy and, at the same time, a restitution of the dignity of the old Mihai Voda Monastery from Bucharest, which was founded by the Voivode in 1591, while he was the Ban of Craiova, and which was seriously mutilated during the communist regime.
From a horizontal perspective, the church within the monastery complex is designed as a Greek cross - a feature characteristic of Orthodox churches - with a main nave, apses provided each with a window, the altar closing with a vault shaped as a half dome, a nearby Prothesis (where the Table of Oblation is located) and a nearby Diaconicon. The layout of the church is an admirable triconchos (a layout consisting of 3 apses in clover-leaf shape), with a steeple over the nave, supported by pendants. A mosaic depicting the Virgin Mary and Saints Michael and Gabriel, the protectors of the monastic dwelling, is displayed on the frontispiece of the church. The facade is decorated in a rhythmic brick pattern that extends to the whole building. The two facade sections with arcatures (small decorative arcades) are separated by a median belt and framed by rows of bricks at the corners. The steeple, with an octagonal shape, has a similar decoration covering a single section.
The monastery complex has a rectangular shape and has a fortress-like enclosure running along three sides. The east side ends with a stone clad wall. The main entrance is located In the western part of the enclosure. The bell tower holding two bells making harmonious sounds is located above the entrance. In the southeast, the complex houses a chapel dedicated to St. Siluan. The monastic cells are arranged on two levels, in front of which there is a gallery with semicircular arches supported by cylindrical columns. The monastery keeps an ever-burning candle flame for the man who ‘sacrificed himself for the Romanian people’.

Built in 1864-1869, this Romanesque Revival-style church was designed by John Nader for the congregation of the Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. The church was once the second oldest Catholic Church in Madison, and was the second parish organized in the city, being established by German Catholics in 1857, and initially located in a smaller building on the same site. The building was built in the latin cross plan, and is clad in sandstone with a gabled roof with side gables towards the rear at the transepts, a centrally-placed bell tower with a wooden belfry featuring arched louvers, bracketed eaves, arched dormers with clock faces, a slate shingle-clad spire topped by a finial and cross, pilasters at the corners of the building, roman arched stained glass windows and door transoms, small rose windows on the tower below the belfry and on the gable ends of the transepts, six-over-six double-hung windows on the first floor, a cupola at the crossing between the nave and transepts, and a rear apse with beveled corners. The stained glass windows, belfry, and steeple were added as the congregation continued to grow in size and wealth, and in 1892, a parochial school was built southwest of the original church. The church today is the oldest remaining Catholic Church in Madison, following the destruction of St. Raphael's Cathedral due to arson in 2005. The church is a contributing structure in the Mansion Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
