Deutsches Historisches Museum, Zeughaus
Berlin
"Das 300 Jahre alte Zeughaus ist der bedeutendste erhaltene Barockbau in Berlin und das älteste Gebäude an der Straße Unter den Linden. Vier Architekten waren für seine Entstehung von 1695 bis zur endgültigen Nutzung 1729 verantwortlich: Johann Arnold Nering (1659–1695), Martin Grünberg (1655–1706), Andreas Schlüter (1659–1714) und Jean de Bodt (1670–1745). Seinen besonderen Platz in der Kunstgeschichte verdankt das Zeughaus nicht zuletzt der hohen Qualität seiner bildhauerischen Arbeiten. Am bekanntesten sind die als Masken gestalteten 22 Schlusssteine, die Andreas Schlüter für den Innenhof schuf." www.dhm.de/ueber-uns/die-gebaeude.html

Sulawesi,
Tongkonan ist das traditionelle Ahnenhaus, rumah adat (indonesisch: traditionelles Haus) der Toraja, einem Volk auf der Insel Sulawesi, Indonesien. Tongkonans haben ein aus mehreren Bambusschichten bestehendes Dach in einer schiffsähnlichen Form. Wie für Indonesiens austronesische traditionelle Architektur typisch, werden Tongkonans auf Holzpfählen errichtet. Traditionell haben bei den Toraja nur die Adligen das Recht, Tongkonans zu bauen. Einfache Leute leben in kleineren und weniger aufwendigen Banua genannten Häusern.
Tongkonan is the traditional ancestral house, or rumah adat of the Torajan people, in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Tongkonan have a distinguishing boat-shaped and oversized saddleback roof. Like most of Indonesia’s Austronesian-based traditional architecture tongkonan are built on piles. The construction of tongkonan is laborious work and it is usually built with the help of all family members or friends. In the original Toraja society, only nobles had the right to build tongkonan.

Church and School Building in the Open-Air Museum of Detmold.
The LWL-Freilichtmuseum in Detmold is a great place to learn and experience the world of our ancestors. The open-air-museum is covered with buildings, tools, animals and plants of countryside life in Northwest Germany in the last couple of centuries. An endless source of inspiration for HDR photography.

Position: This photo was taken in the historic part of Málaga. Málaga is capital of the Province of Málaga, in the autonomous community of Andalusie, Spain. Málaga's history spans about 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest cities in Europe and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.
This screen normally stays shut, like the one next to it, but this one is special because the screen is torn--making the space between the screen and the window panes a terrific hideout for a cat. As Muse can probably tell, an orange tabby, a brown tabby, and a white cat have all passed through this portal (& maybe more).
The Milky way and northern lights shinning bright over the historical Independence mine located in Hatchers Pass.
Everyone loves Mardin, and it’s immediately apparent why: this ancient town crowned with a castle overlooks the vast, roasted Mesopotamian plains extending to Syria, and the honey-coloured stone houses that trip down the side of the hillside give it something of the feel of old city.
