INDIEN, Itimad-ut-Daulah - Mausoleum
Das Itimad-ud-Daula-Mausoleum wurde in den Jahren zwischen 1622 und 1628 von Nur Jahan, der Hauptfrau des Mogulherrschers Jahangir, für ihren Vater Mirza Ghiyas Beg errichtet. Dieser stammte aus Persien und erhielt wegen seiner Verdienste als Schatzmeister und später als Wesir des Reiches den Ehrentitel Itimad ud-Daula („Stütze des Staates“). Mirza Ghiyas Beg war gleichzeitig Großvater des 5. Mogul-Herrschers Shah Jahan und von dessen Frau Mumtaz Mahal. Das vergleichsweise kleine, aber überaus kostbar ausgestattete Grabmal steht in Agra (Indien).
Situated in the West Yorkshire market town of Hebden Bridge, it started life in around 1800 as one of the first mills of the Industrial Revolution.
Driven by a water wheel, for nine decades the mill produced cotton cloth as part of the county’s textile industry. By the turn of the 20th century that had come to an end and in the early 1900s, it instead began to be used as somewhat of an “entertainment emporium”.
Inside, it offered a dance hall, refreshments, dining saloons and a roller-skating rink and came to be loved by both the local community and visitors alike.
Today it is run as a visitor and education centre by the National Trust, who acquired the building in 1950, after it had fallen into disuse following the Second World War.
Set in the Hardcastle Crags valley, a landscape nicknamed “Little Switzerland” thanks to its unspoilt woodland, tumbling streams and spectacular waterfalls, it remains a popular beauty spot.
In 1833, it is noted that 21 employees were based there, working 72 hours per week and living in the adjacent workers’ cottage.

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

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.
Pamukkale is a natural site in Denizli in southwestern Turkey. Pamukkale is also the site of the remarkably well-preserved ruins of the Greek-Roman city of Hierapolis. This area is famous for a carbonate mineral left by flowing water. Those waters are used for drinking and bathing. They are recommended for the treatment of rheumatic, dermatological and gynecological diseases, neurological and physical exhaustion, digestive maladies and nutritional disorders. It is also one of the Turkey’s most visited attractions.

Thingvellir is a place that instantly inspires awe due both to its topography and its history. It is situated in a rift zone where the North American and the Eurasian tectonic plates meet. There are rugged cliffs lining the valley, beneath which the world’s oldest parliament, the Alþing, first convened in 930AD. Waterfalls cascade over the rock walls, filling pools in which witches and other law breakers were once drowned for their offenses. Beheadings took place in other locations. Upon the Law Rock, the Law Speaker would recite the laws of the land from memory and others would make announcements, level charges, and raise issues of importance to the Icelandic people
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).

According to traditional sources of Saint Nino, who converted Georgia to Christianity, he stopped to pray on the highest hill Mtskheta and put the cross on him. In the 6th century, it was built in the place of two churches belonging to the monastery. The second - larger church was built between 586 - 605.
This church served as a model for the construction of other temples. The importance of the monastery grew with the passage of time and attracts many pilgrims. Also today, Great Church is used during major events. There are also fragments of the cross of St. Nino.
He is now included on the list of one hundred most endangered destruction of monuments of the world and UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994 as "Historical Monuments of Mtskheta".

Według tradycyjnych źródeł Święta Nino, która nawróciła Gruzję na chrześcijaństwo, zatrzymała się na modlitwę na najwyższym wzniesieniu Mcchety i postawiła na nim krzyż. W VI wieku wybudowano w tym miejscu dwa kościoły, wchodzące w skład monastyru. Drugi - większy kościół został wybudowany w latach 586 - 605.
Kościół ten służył jako wzór przy budowie innych świątyń. Znaczenie monastyru rosło wraz z upływem czasu i przyciąga wielu pielgrzymów. Także dzisiaj Wielki Kościół jest wykorzystywany podczas ważniejszych uroczystości. Zachowały się też fragmenty krzyża św. Nino.
Jest on obecnie wpisany na listę stu najbardziej zagrożonych zniszczeniem zabytków świata oraz listę UNESCO od 1994r.
