O interior da Igreja de São Gonçalo, localizada no centro histórico de Amarante, é um espaço rico em história e arte. A igreja apresenta uma arquitetura religiosa que combina vários estilos: renascentista, maneirista, barroco e oitocentista, refletindo a diversidade de influências que marcaram a sua construção, desde a sua fundação em 1543.
O interior da igreja é caracterizado por uma nave única com capelas laterais profundas e intercomunicantes, um transepto inscrito e uma cabeceira tripartida com capela-mor profunda. A nave é coberta por uma abóbada de berço com pinturas em 'trompe l'oeil', que criam uma ilusão de profundidade e espaço.
A igreja também é conhecida pelas suas pinturas de composição vegetalista sobre a cantaria de granito, que adornam as paredes e o teto.
O interior da igreja também inclui um coro-alto com cadeiral e uma torre sineira quadrangular com cobertura idêntica às coberturas das torres da Sé de Braga. A igreja é rodeada por um amplo adro lajeado de granito e está anexa ao Claustro do Convento de São Gonçalo, que é monumento nacional desde 1910.

Built of red brick in 1878, the Wandiligong Public Library is a simple building that may be found along Morses Creek Road in the pretty Alpine town of Wandiligong.
Simple it may be, with minimal ornamentation and elegant lines, but this building shows how important and populated Wandiligong was during the Victorian Gold Rush. Not every town had a public library, which makes this survivor a significant piece of history.
Today the Wandiligong Public Library is used as a small local art gallery.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
...meaning "Look before you leap", a clever pun on the Cavendish family name on the front of Chatsworth House, Derbyshire. The newly applied gold leaf around the windows is looking wonderful, taking the building back to its original glory.

A piece of hand-made paper from my small collection of Japanese (or maybe Japanese style) paper. They have a special texture and weight, and many have imprinted patterns made while the paper is still wet. This one is quite light and thin, and has gold leaf imprinted.

The upward, wide-angle interior view gives a good impression of the Pisan Romanesque architectural style and negates the tourists scurrying like ants on the marble church floor.
Pisa Cathedral
Tuscany, Italy
"Pisa Cathedral (Italian: Cattedrale Metropolitana Primaziale di Santa Maria Assunta; Duomo di Pisa) is a medieval Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, in the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, Italy, the oldest of the three structures in the plaza followed by the Pisa Baptistry and the Campanile known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The cathedral is a notable example of Romanesque architecture, in particular the style known as Pisan Romanesque. Consecrated in 1118, it is the seat of the Archbishop of Pisa. Construction began in 1063 and was completed in 1092. Additional enlargements and a new facade were built in the 12th century and the roof was replaced after damage from a fire in 1595. [...]
The interior, subdivided at the front into a central nave flanked by two side aisles on either side and with the transept and apse in three naves, is covered with white and black marble, with monolithic grey marble columns having corinthian capitals. It has a wooden 17th-century coffered ceiling, painted and decorated with gold leaf, made by Domenico and Bartolomeo Atticciati; it bears the Medici coat of arms. Presumably the earlier ceiling was a structure with wooden trusses. [...]"

(It took me 11 months to look up Ædicule in the dictionary. Turns out it is a lovely word, worthy of its placement on gold leaf. If ædicule is not part of your daily fancy speech, I suggest you too look it up and then go out into your neighborhood and point out the nearest ædicule to whoever won't beat you up for doing so.)

Tried to taking a shot of a reflective object! I knew I was going to have issues with the reflective background, very little preperation. I'm going to try this shot again in the future with a little more time put into the set up e.g. avoid using the blue base for reflective colour, I got into trouble with the colour saturation when trying to enhance the shot!
What about the subject though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taken at Shah-i-Zinda, a large necropolis just outside Samarkand. This is a small detail of one of the mausoleums - the workmanship and detail was jaw-droppingly opulent.

Porepunkah is a town in north east Victoria. Built along the Great Alpine Road, at the foot of Mount Buffalo, it is 320 kilometres from Melbourne. It is part of the local epicurean region and features several wineries. This includes the Feathertop Winery which features a gourmet restaurant and views of wonderful grapevines which turn red and gold during the autumnal months.
It is outside the Feathertop Winery that this pretty row of deciduous exotic trees stands. They were too beautiful basking in the afternoon sun not to stop and photograph.
The world famous opera house was designed by Charles Garnier in the Napoleon III style. Construction started in 1861 and the building opened in 1875. It is also the setting for the story Phantom of the Opera.
The domed ceiling was repainted by the artist Marc Chagall in 1964.
