I hope I did them justice in whatever small way I could.
The ruins of the 5,500 year old Ġgantija temple complex outside Victoria on the Maltese island of Gozo.
Teotihuacan is one of the most famous and important sites of ancient Mexico, best known for it's enormous Avenue of the Dead and the great pyramids of the Sun and Moon.
Although the site was known in Aztec times as the 'Birthplace of the Gods' it is actually significantly older, with most of the major structures built between 100-250AD and the city, one of the largest ever ancient settlements in the Americas, was believed to have been still inhabited up to the 8th century.
Today the vast scale of the complex, particularly the so called Avenue of the Dead, nearly 3km long and flanked by ancient ruins and terraces, continues to awe visitors. At the north end of the Avenue sits the Pyramid of the Moon, whilst it's much larger counterpart, the Pyramid of the Sun, sits halfway up it's eastern side. At the southern end sits the Ciudadela complex which centres on the smaller pyramid of Quetzelcoatl, earlier and more ruined than the larger pyramids but retaining it's stunning original sculptural decoration on part of it's western face, featuring the iconic feathered serpent heads.
Aside from the great ceremonial structures there are also residential buildings, particularly the palatial complex at the north west corner that retains some vivid fragments of it's original mural decoration.
Amphibolite from the Ordovician of North Carolina, USA.
Amphibolite is a dark-colored metamorphic rock dominated by amphibole. It is usually weakly foliated but can be crystalline-textured. Amphibolites are principally composed of hornblende amphibole and plagioclase feldspar. Many amphibolites form by metamorphism of basalt or gabbro (= mafic igneous rocks).
The rock seen here is from North Carolina's Chunky Gal Complex and has two types of amphibole, colored blackish and greenish. Rubies (red corundum) can occur in these rocks, but none are present here. This material is metamorphosed Proterozoic oceanic crust. Regional metamorphism occurred in the Ordovician, during the Taconic Orogeny, at about 458 million years ago.
Geologic unit: metagabbro from the Chunky Gal Complex (Chunky Gal Mountain Mafic-Ultramafic Complex), ~458 Ma metamorphic age
Locality: unrecorded/undisclosed site on Chunky Gal Mountain, southeastern Clay County, Blue Ridge, far-western North Carolina, USA
life is complex... its very hard to live in this part of the world... most of the young peoples are still jobless... half of their life has spent either in chitchat or wasted in nothing..a very few have their permanent jobs, although most of them are not well earned....

The Richardson Olmsted Complex is located a the center of a large park-like campus on the north side of Buffalo, New York, adjacent to the campus of Buffalo State College. Constructed in 1870 as a mental hospital, the campus's Medina red sandstone and brick structures were built according to the Kirkbride Plan, among grounds that were landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted. Designed by Henry Hobson Richardson, the building was his largest commission during his storied and significant career, and is an early example of the Richardson Romanesque style, which would later bear the name of its creator. The building was home to administrative facilities in the central tower, which is flanked by five pavilions on each side, which progressively stair-step backwards, for a total of 11 structures in the interconnected complex. During its operation, patients were segregated by sex, with Males being housed in the eastern pavilions, and women in the western pavilions. The building remained in use until the mid-1970s, when patients were transferred to more modern facilities elsewhere on the campus, though the central pavilion continued to be used as office space until 1994. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986. The building has been the site of preservation campaigns since the 1960s due to its significance; However, three brick pavilions on the eastern end of the complex were demolished in the 1970s to allow for room to build newer psychiatric facilities on the grounds. The building went through a period of significant and prolonged deterioration and uncertainty between the 1970s and 2008, with the unsecured facility becoming vandalized, decayed, and unsafe. However, in 2008, in the wake of a successful lawsuit filed by the Preservation Coalition of Erie County, the State of New York was forced to commit $100 million in order to rehabilitate the structure. Between the spring of 2008 and the fall of 2012, the complex was stabilized, and in 2013, the South Lawn was converted from parking lots back into the original, verdant green space it was meant to be. In 2017, the first phase of the building's adaptive reuse and rehabilitation was completed, which transformed the central three pavilions into the Hotel Henry and Conference Center, with the Buffalo Architecture Center also opening in the renovated structure. The plans for the complex currently are to convert the remaining intact but vacant pavilions into additional space for the Hotel Henry Urban Resort Conference Center, which will be spectacular once it completely transforms and revitalizes this amazing structure.
The 2022 Kimble Complex Fire was the largest wildfire in Wayne National Forest history. It started out as several smaller wildfires on a day with enhanced fire weather conditions, grew into a single large wildfire, and then blew up in size as fire weather conditions worsened. By the end, it burned 1,338 acres and took dozens of wildland firefighters, multiple fire engines, dozers, and more to contain. The cause of the wildfire remains under investigation.
The Kimble Complex Fire came on the heels of dozens of small and medium size wildfires that occurred throughout southeast Ohio during the fall fire season. Between October 8 and November 22, our wildland firefighters responded to an average of 1.5 wildfires a day.
We rely on you to be fire aware and help prevent wildfires in the first place! Know your state and local fire laws, follow the statewide 6 AM to 6 PM burn bans during the spring and fall fire seasons, never leave fires unattended, and always put fires completely out until they are cool to the touch. Remember, only YOU can help prevent wildfires!

Visitors to the Ġgantija temple complex walk on a raised boardwalk and have to stay between the handrails in order to protect the 5,500 year old temple ruins.
E 8 (naval complex) & F 8 (just complex) crossing, most of the time the traffic light remains off, and the constable directs traffic, sometimes chaotically, like this afternoon when he signaled the margalla road traffic to go, without seeing the red car crossing across from the E 8 side.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. On Launch Complex 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, workers make adjustments on the solid rocket booster after its lift to vertical. It is one of nine SRBs that will be mated to the Delta II rocket for the Mars Exploration Rover 1 (MER-1) launch June 25. NASAs twin Mars Exploration Rovers are designed to study the history of water on Mars. These robotic geologists are equipped with a robotic arm, a drilling tool, three spectrometers, and four pairs of cameras that allow them to have a human-like, 3D view of the terrain. Each rover could travel as far as 100 meters in one day to act as Mars scientists' eyes and hands, exploring an environment where humans cant yet go. MER-2 (MER-A) will launch June 5.

Rondreis door het bijzondere en mooie Myanmar, voorheen Birma …, november 2013
Vlakbij Monywa, iets ten westen van de stad Mandalay, vind je het grootste liggende Boeddhabeeld ter wereld. De gigantische goudgekleurde boeddha meet van kop tot teen negentig meter. Bezoekers kunnen aan de achterkant naar binnen. Vervolgens komen ze in een ruimte met negenduizend kleine afbeeldingen die het leven laten zien van ‘de verlichte’ en zijn volgelingen.
Achter het liggende beeld is sinds kort ook een staande boeddha gebouwd van 167 meter hoog. Weer daarnaast ligt Bodhi Tataung, een tuin waar achtduizend boeddha’s in rijen staan opgesteld.
The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly known as Karnak (/ˈkɑːr.næk/[1], from Arabic Khurnak meaning "fortified village"), comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings near Luxor, in Egypt. Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom and continued into the Ptolemaic period, although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of the eighteenth dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes. The Karnak complex gives its name to the nearby, and partly surrounded, modern village of El-Karnak, 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles) north of Luxor.
The complex is a vast open site and includes the Karnak Open Air Museum. It is believed to be the second[citation needed] most visited historical site in Egypt; only the Giza Pyramids near Cairo receive more visits. It consists of four main parts, of which only the largest is currently open to the general public. The term Karnak often is understood as being the Precinct of Amun-Ra only, because this is the only part most visitors see. The three other parts, the Precinct of Mut, the Precinct of Montu, and the dismantled Temple of Amenhotep IV, are closed to the public. There also are a few smaller temples and sanctuaries connecting the Precinct of Mut, the Precinct of Amun-Re, and the Luxor Temple.
The Precinct of Mut is very ancient, being dedicated to an Earth and creation deity, but not yet restored. The original temple was destroyed and partially restored by Hatshepsut, although another pharaoh built around it in order to change the focus or orientation of the sacred area. Many portions of it may have been carried away for use in other buildings.
The key difference between Karnak and most of the other temples and sites in Egypt is the length of time over which it was developed and used. Construction of temples started in the Middle Kingdom and continued into Ptolemaic times. Approximately thirty pharaohs contributed to the buildings, enabling it to reach a size, complexity, and diversity not seen elsewhere. Few of the individual features of Karnak are unique, but the size and number of features are overwhelming. The deities represented range from some of the earliest worshiped to those worshiped much later in the history of the Ancient Egyptian culture. Although destroyed, it also contained an early temple built by Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), the pharaoh who later would celebrate a near monotheistic religion he established that prompted him to move his court and religious center away from Thebes. It also contains evidence of adaptations, using buildings of the Ancient Egyptians by later cultures for their own religious purposes

A smoke stack from an old mining mill stands on a hilltop above the town of Tuscarora. The Indian Creek Fire prompted the evacuation of this historic mining town's few residents, but the town was spared due to the diligent efforts of a unified fire task force consisting of various federal agencies, local volunteers, ranchers, mining operations and the City of Elko resources.
Cologne Germany - The newly designed, restructured Rheinauhafen waterfront complex is a young and attractive district of Cologne. The 210,000 m² development, which is located right on the Rhine, not far from to the city center, has quickly become established as one of Cologne’s popular attractions. The waterfront district features a mix of modern residential and office buildings interspersed with many cafés, restaurants, and galleries. And visitors with a passion for architecture and culture will also find points of interest in the Rheinauhafen. The centerpiece of the new Cologne promenade is the trio of buildings called the “Kranhäuser” (crane towers), which rise to a height of about 60 meters. The buildings, which are shaped like hoisting cranes, are defining elements of the skyline on the west bank of the Rhine. Also on the west bank of the Rhine is a newly opened four-star superior hotel — the trapezoid-shaped art’otel cologne. On permanent display in this eye-catching building with its colorful windows are dramatic and picturesque collages by the Korean artist SEO, a former advanced student in Georg Baselitz's master classes.
The Häfen und Güterverkehr Köln AG company and the city of Cologne began to redesign the old waterfront area and develop unused lots in 1998. The design for the revitalization was created by the renowned Hamburg-based architecture firm Bothe, Richter, Teherani. Many old structures were extensively renovated to suit their new uses, including the waterfront area’s former granary, called the “Siebengebirge” (seven hills) by local residents because of its seven steeply sloping gables. The mingling of historic landmark buildings and modern architecture is a characteristic feature of the Rheinauhafen.

After soaking the fabric in Soda Ash and letting it dry, I applied potato dextrin over the stretched fabric and combed through the dextrin to create a pattern. After that dried, I stippled thickened dye paste through the crackled dextrin. I let it dry and 'batched' it for 24 hours. It was too plain, so I soaked it again in soda ash, let it dry and then stamped it using thickened dye paste. I 'batched' it again and rinsed it well.
