Looking down at the debating chamber of the Bundestag, the german parliament from the spiral walkway in the dome.
The mirrored cone in the center of the dome directs sunlight into the building, and so that visitors can see the working of the chamber.

Buddha relic dome of Bao'en temple heritage park.
It's said there are 4200 lights on the dome, which are reflected on the glass floor, which doubles the amount.
It's also said the lights keep rotating in seven changing colors.
An unusual picture - domes on the ground. They are intended for the Orthodox Church of the Forty Martyrs in Konakovo. Tver region. Russia.
Gold. The most common color of Orthodox domes represents eternity and heavenly glory. Temples with golden domes were dedicated to Christ and the great church holidays - Christmas, Meeting, Annunciation. Such chapters crown the Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Kremlin cathedrals - the Assumption, Annunciation, Arkhangelsk.
Currently, domes are not clad with gold, but earlier the metal was dissolved in mercury, and then the resulting amalgam was applied to a hot copper sheet. The gilding process was very expensive and labor intensive.
The onion dome in Orthodox architecture is the embodiment of prayer, aspiration to heaven. According to researcher Yevgeny Trubetskoy, such a dome on the base of the drum resembles a candle flame. Onion-shaped chapters are characteristic of Russian architecture of the 16th – 17th centuries.
View from the roofs of the Cathedral of Palermo, Italy
The Cathedral of Palermo is one of the most characteristic monuments of the city: visiting it is like leafing through a history book of Sicily.
It is the main place of worship in the city of Palermo and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Its highly original mix of styles, with elements of Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman, Catalan and Gothic art, is a direct consequence of the presence of multiple populations that, over the centuries, have alternated on Sicilian soil.
The style of the twelfth century prevails over all, the Norman one, although the appearance of the church as we see it today is due to modifications and additions from the eighteenth century.
A highly suggestive experience is the visit of the roofs of the Cathedral, thanks to which it is possible to discover the artistic and architectural elements of the external walls of the monument and admire Palermo from above.
Hoy hace un año que hice esta fotografÃa. Mi mundo y el Mundo han cambiado de forma radical desde entonces.
De verdad que no me podÃa imaginar prácticamente nada de cómo ha evolucionado todo...
you are now in the heart of sprouts that grow
in the most distant calculations
you are such a sadness
sprouting at the helm of the ships you burn
causing poisons

Ceiling inside les Galeries Lafayette in Paris.
In October 1912, the new store’s inauguration was a major event. The store’s 5 floors, balconies and glass dome were advertised all over Paris, the provinces and even globally as pure refinement. Inspired by a neo-Byzantine style, the 33-meter high glass dome comprises of 10 painted windows encapsulated in rich metallic frames and decorated in a sculpted floral motif.
As I start to plan the adventures of 2020, I wanted to go back and re-edit an image of Half Dome in Yosemite NP from 2015. I shot this with my first Canon SLR the 60d.
I reworked the image in Lightroom and Silver EFX. I wanted to bring out the incredible textures in the granite wall. Back then composition wasn't as important as just being in the moment. As I look back on this one, I think I got lucky with the tall pine trees below and the wonderful cloud action that day around the dome. Ansel Adams is one of my favorite photographers for many reasons. First and foremost because of his love for Yosemite. I’ve read a few books about him and his love for the outdoors. Currently, Yosemite is my favorite National Park. What are yours?
I hoping to cross off Zion, Bryce, Yellowstone, and Glacier NP off the list this year. One of my favorite photographers, William McIntosh, said his favorite is Glacier NP so I’m really amped up about it.
Happy New Year to everyone out there.

It was pretty cool to still see some snow on top of Half Dome over a month after the last snow storm. The river was flowing pretty smoothly right now and I was able to get some nice reflections off of the water.
The roads were clear and made for a nice weekend drive. There is still a lot of snow on the ground and not a lot of people here to fight for the great views. I sure hope we get another storm soon to add to this snow though.
At the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha, the Tropical Display Dome is a large lattice structure (geodesic) displaying plants from the tropics.
A pathway winds upwards through the dome building, wrapping around a central pond with water plants. This path leads visitors past a range of shrubs, climbers, epiphytes and small trees.
The dome provides a climate close to the natural growing conditions for plants that wouldn't normally grow in Brisbane.
ENG: My absolute highlight was a visit to the liberation hall in Kelheim. Even more great pictures from here, come the next days.
The Befreiungshalle "Hall of Liberation" is a Neoclassical monument on the Michelsberg hill above the town of Kelheim in Bavaria, Germany. It stands upstream of Regensburg on the river Donau at the confluence of the Donau and the Altmühl, i.e. the Rhine-Main-Donau Canal. It was commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria to commemorate the victory over Napoleon in the liberation war of 1813-15. The opening ceremony was on the 18 October 1863.
