Angkor Wat ("Capital Temple") is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world, with the site measuring 162.6 hectares (1,626,000 m2; 402 acres).
It was originally constructed as a Hindu temple of god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire, gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple toward the end of the 12th century. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura (Khmer: យសោធរបុរៈ, present-day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaiva tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious center since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.
Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple-mountain and the later galleried temple. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology: within a moat and an outer wall 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the centre of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas adorning its walls.
It was a wonderful morning in the Schleissheim palace complex.
After I had photographed the sunrise on the Olympiaberg with my buddy, we drove over to the castle in Oberschleißheim to capture the morning mood. We had researched that you would not be allowed into the park until 8 a.m. We got there a little earlier and the gates opened at 7:30 a.m. so we had the whole park to ourselves.
This photo was taken on one of the side canals and shows the southern pavilion with Renatus chapel at the end of the alley.
The light was beautiful and brought the fresh spring green of the trees to shine.
Am frühen Morgen im Park der Schlossanlage Schleißheim - München, Bayern
Es war ein wunderbarer Morgen in der Schlossanlage Schleißheim.
Nachdem ich mit meinem Kumpel den Sonnenaufgang auf dem Olympiaberg fotografiert hatten, fuhren wir rüber zum Schloss in Oberschleißheim, um dort die Morgenstimmung einzufangen. Wir hatten recherchiert, dass man dort erst um 8 Uhr in den Park eingelassen wird. Wir waren etwas früher dort und die Tore wurden dann auch schon um 7:30 Uhr geöffnet und so hatten wir den ganzen Park für uns alleine.
Dieses Foto entstand an einem der Nebenkanäle und zeigt noch am Ende der Allee den Südlichen Pavillon mit Renatuskapelle.
Das Licht war wunderschön und brachte das frische Frühlingsgrün der Bäume richtig zum Leuchten.

Part of the Avebury henge complex, dated 2850 BC to 2200 BC.
Some believe such ancient sites were connected and placed on lines of spiritual power, ley lines, maybe that's what's in the sky? Or not :) Certainly a sacred place with a unique atmosphere.

The Taj Mahl "crown of palaces",is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage".
Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian and Indian architectural styles.
In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen. The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer.
The dominating seven story 30 meter high main Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas in the Kok Lok Si Temple complex, combines Chinese (octagonal base), Thai ( middle tier) and Burmese (crown) elements. It is located in the Penang capital George Town at the foothill of the Air Itam mountain.
"Cascade Complex" in Yerevan is an architectural complex on the hillside, located north of city center.
Externally, they look as great stairs, decorated with flowerbeds, fountains, sculptures and contemporary chaczkarami (plates with a carved Armenian cross). The name comes from fountains that flow down of cascade.
The first caskades project at the beginning of 20th century was developed by architect Alexander Tamanian. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of joining Armenia to the USSR, in 1970 this great construction project was returned. Work began only in 1980, but after the earthquake in 1988 and the breakup of the Soviet Union, the work was stopped.
In 2001, the building was taken over by Armenian millionaire, philanthropist and collector Gerard Cafesjian who lived in the United States. He decided to transform the whole into a museum with an exhibition of modern art.

Kaskady w Erywaniu to kompleks architektoniczny na zboczu wzgórza, położony na północ od centrum miasta.
Zewnętrznie prezentują się jako wielkie schody, ozdobione kwietnikami, fontannami, rzeźbami oraz współczesnymi chaczkarami (płytami z rzeźbionym krzyżem ormiańskim). Nazwa wywodzi się od fontann, które spływają po progach na kształt kaskady.
Pierwszy projekt Kaskad na początku XX wieku opracował architekt Aleksander Tamanian. Dla uczczenia 50-lecia przyłączenia Armenii do ZSRR, w latach 70 tych XX wieku powrócono do tego wielkiego projektu budowlanego. Prace rozpoczęto dopiero w 1980, ale po trzęsieniu ziemi w 1988 i rozpadzie Związku Radzieckiego, prace przerwano.
W 2001 roku budowę przejął żyjący w Stanach Zjednoczonych ormiański milioner, filantrop i kolekcjoner Gerard Cafesjian. Zdecydował się przekształcić całość w muzeum z ekspozycją sztuki nowoczesnej.
Himeji Castle is a hilltop Japanese castle complex located in Himeji, in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.
The castle is regarded as the finest surviving example of prototypical Japanese castle architecture, comprising a network of 83 buildings with advanced defensive systems from the feudal period. The castle is frequently known as Hakuro-jō ("White Egret Castle") or Shirasagi-jō ("White Heron Castle") because of its brilliant white exterior and supposed resemblance to a bird taking flight.
Himeji Castle dates to 1333, when Akamatsu Norimura built a fort on top of Himeyama hill. The fort was dismantled and rebuilt as Himeyama Castle in 1346, and then remodeled into Himeji Castle two centuries later. Himeji Castle was then significantly remodeled in 1581 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who added a three-story castle keep. In 1600, Tokugawa Ieyasu awarded the castle to Ikeda Terumasa for his help in the Battle of Sekigahara, and Ikeda completely rebuilt the castle from 1601 to 1609, expanding it into a large castle complex.
Several buildings were later added to the castle complex by Honda Tadamasa from 1617 to 1618. For over 400 years, Himeji Castle has remained intact, even throughout the extensive bombing of Himeji in World War II, and natural disasters such as the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake.
Himeji Castle is the largest and most visited castle in Japan, and it was registered in 1993 as one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country. The area within the middle moat of the castle complex is a designated Special Historic Site and five structures of the castle are also designated National Treasures. Along with Matsumoto Castle and Kumamoto Castle, Himeji Castle is considered one of Japan's three premier castles. In order to preserve the castle buildings, it underwent restoration work for several years and reopened to the public on March 27, 2015. The works also removed decades of dirt and grime, restoring the formerly gray roof to its original brilliant white color.

The Monumental complex of Valsanzibio was brought to its contemporary magnificence in the second half of the Seventeenth Century by the Venetian noble Giovani Francesco Barbarigo, assisted by his sons Antonio and Gregorio. In fact, it was this last son, the first-born, Gregorio—Cardinal and Bishop of Padua and future saint—who inspired the symbolic meaning of the plan drawn by Luigi Bernini— the top Vatican architect and fountain expert. The then Cardinal Gregorio Barbarigo, as the result of a solemn ‘vow’ made by his Father to our God in 1631 , desired the garden of Valsanzibio to be a monumental, symbolic pathway to perfection; a journey that brings man from the false to the
truth, from ignorance to revelation.

Too much to see in a single place, to many details and its hard to get them all even since the place is not that big, its basically a medium house, but every corner has a little special detail that can be easily missed.
Earth. A biosphere.
A complex,
Subtly balanced life support system.
And the turtledove a nest
Where it might place its young
Your altar of strengths, Lord,
My king and my God,
We are floating over the line
Let us follow our mind
All of our life we'll wait for the answer
And the question is why
If we're following our mind
We can glide into light
No one knows if there'll be an answer
While we're morphing through time
We are floating over the line
Let us follow our mind
All of our life we'll wait for the answer
And the question is why
We're just travelers
In endless space
If we're following our mind
We can glide into light
No one knows if there'll be an answer
While we're morphing through time

Having been referred to as a “cluster of tree houses”, a “crumpled paper bag” and an “urban sandcastle”, the Dr Chau Chak Wing building’s unique masonry façade—contorting and twisting in a three-dimensional plane for the full height of the 14-storey structure—created structural engineering challenges requiring innovative solutions.
In collaboration with UTS and the brick supplier, AECOM (an infrastructure consulting firm) developed a unique brick, tie, mortar and backing system that solved the load, constructability and complex geometrical issues, allowing a near impossible feat of engineering to be realised. This unique solution makes this brick facade one of its kind.

TERRAIN
Steep, rocky and complex terrain. There are well-worn paths for much of the route (indistinct for route up Stob Coire nan Lochan) but the terrain is very rocky and there are sections of steep scree and very mild scrambling. The descent from Bealach Dearg is initially very steep and loose. It usually holds snow until well into summer, making it even more difficult - be prepared for this or save this route for when the snow is gone

In the center of a Dogwood blossom you'll find the most incredible sphere. The true flowers are tightly clustered there, surrounded by white petal-like bracts. A bract is a modified or specialized leaf which can serve the function of attracting pollinators. Nature is full of lovely surprises.
