Another cake brought in by my friend and colleague to share with me at afternoon tea. This one was layers of caramel, chocolate, fudge, cake, biscuit, topped with a flat piece of dark chocolate with a treble musical sign in white chocolate. Delicious.
Several shots from a recent trip to Kananaskis lakes I have been there many times but for some reason never explored this part, glad I did very nice locations for sure.

The arts that had been scaled down in 1/25 of their originals with the specialist model makers.
Hagia Sophia
Hagia Sophia (Turkish: Ayasofya, Greek: Αγία Σοφία; "Holy Wisdom", Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia) is a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was the largest cathedral ever built in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the Seville Cathedral in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between A.D. 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, and was in fact the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site (the previous two had both been destroyed by riots). It was designed by two architects, Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles. The Church contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 50 foot (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the patriarchal church of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly 1000 years.
In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks and Sultan Mehmed II ordered the building to be converted into the Ayasofya Mosque. The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed, and many of the mosaics were eventually plastered over. The Islamic features — such as the mihrab, the minbar, and the four minarets outside — were added over the course of its history under the Ottomans. It remained as a mosque until 1935, when it was converted into a museum by the Republic of Turkey.
For almost 500 years the principal mosque of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia served as a model for many of the Ottoman mosques such as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque of Istanbul), the Şehzade Mosque, the Süleymaniye Mosque, and the Rüstem Pasha Mosque.
Although it is sometimes referred to as Saint Sophia (Greek for wisdom), the Greek name in full is Ναός τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Σοφίας, Church of the Holy Wisdom of God, and it was dedicated to the Holy Wisdom of God rather than a specific saint named Sophia.

Mio Adorato, che mi hai sollevata
Da questa squallida valle ove fui gettata,
E, tra i languidi ricci, hai infuso
Un benedetto soffio di vita, onde la fronte
Di nuovo brilla al cospetto degli angeli,
Per il tuo bacio redentore! Mio solo,l'unico,
Che a me giungesse quando il mondo era perduto,
E io, che solo Dio cercavo, trovai Te!
Ti ho trovato: sono salva, forte e lieta,
Come uno che tra gli asfodeli eterni,
Ripensa ai tristi giorni che trascorse
Nell'altra vita, così con immenso orgoglio
Io testimonio qui, nel bene e nel male,
Che Amore, forte come la Morte, come lei redime.
Elizabeth Barret Browning
