The Aga Khan Mausoleum is the tomb of Sultan Mahommed Shah the Aga Khan III and is located in the Egyptian city of Aswan. Shortly before his death, the Aga Khan chose a location on the west bank of the Nile as his final resting place. The location was highly symbolic, centuries before the ancestors of the Aga Khan, had founded the Fatimid dynasty, with its capital in Cairo. The Fatimid represented one of the heydays of Muslim culture, who were patrons of the arts, architecture, literature, pluralism, and scientific endeavors, fields that were equally cherished by the Aga Khan.
El Mausoleo del Aga Khan es la tumba del Sultán Mahommed Shah el Aga Khan III y está ubicada en la ciudad egipcia de Asuán. Poco antes de su muerte, el Aga Khan escogió una ubicación sobre la rivera occidental de Nilo, como el lugar para su último descanso. La ubicación era sumamente simbólica, siglos antes los antepasados del Aga Khan, habían fundado la dinastía Fatimí, con capital en El Cairo. El fatimí representó uno de los apogeos de la cultura musulmana, que fueron mecenas de las artes, la arquitectura, la literatura, el pluralismo y los esfuerzos científicos, campos que eran igualmente apreciados por el Aga Khan.
Khan Shatyr is a shopping centre located in the capital of Kazakhstan, Astana. Designed by Foster & Partners, the building resembles a traditional Kazakh tent. With its 150 m, it is said to be the highest tensile structure in the world.
Columns and beams in one of the major courtyards at Prasat Preah Khan Temple Complex, Angkor, Cambodia. The institution combined the roles of city, temple and Buddhist university: there were 97,840 attendants and servants, including 1000 dancers and 1000 teachers.
I was fortunate enough to meet a new friend at a recent event. He was kind enough to invite myself along with a few of my friends to a Moon event that is going on at Aga Khan Museum. He gave us a tour which included this VIP room which is not open to the general public. How lucky we were to have the opportunity to see this incredible view, just in time for the setting sun to complete it.

Chaka Khan is definitely the most famous musician I have posted about this week but I hope that some of you have been able to learn about some new ones, too. Some of the musicians I posted about have been fearless in their lives and all are talented. Chaka Khan played her heart out when she was one of the features of Pitchfork Music Festival a couple of years ago. I think she even had the trees dancing! Much love to her an anyone alive who can make you dance and sing your heart out like the night will ever end and like you’re young again and free of all your worries and sorrows. If you can find anything or anyone that can do that for you for even one evening, hold on to her/him/them/it forever.

This is Khan. We believe she is the feral mother of Sulah and Anna. She remains an outdoor cat with minimal trust but we feed her when she shows up.
About Khao Sam Roi Yot
Located in coast of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, it is the first marine national park of Thailand. Khao Sam Roi Yot means "The mountain with three hundred peaks" and refers to a series of limestone hills along the Gulf of Thailand with highest one at 605m above the sea level. The northwest corner of the mountain range is called Thung Sam Roi Yot and is mainly freshwater marsh covering nearly 37% of the national park which makes it the largest wetlands area in Thailand.
The main attractions of the national park are Phraya Nakhon Cave with it's iconic royal pavilion and huge chambers, Kaeo Cave and Thung Sam Roi Yot Freshwater Marsh. The park is also an attractive destination for it's rich wildlife in mangrove forests, beautiful beaches, limestone islands, trails and view points. It is easily acessible, only 60 km south from Hua Hin and nearly 3 hours from Bangkok.
Left the temple complex of Preah Khan through its western gate. (Khmer temples normally face east towards the rising sun, the symbol of life. However, Angkor Wat faces west, so it is sometimes believed to be a temple of the dead or the king's mausoleum). At some temples, tourists have a choice whether to enter/exit through the eastern or western gates. The man on the right gives some scale to the size of the doorways.

Ostrich are fairly common birds. Being the largest birds in the world has made them famous but photographically they are not the most photogenic species. I have always struggled with photographing them until this day in Samburu, when the sun was high and a lot of negative exposure helped somewhat.
Thanks for visiting. Your comments and likes are always appreciated.

Preah Khan translates to the Royal Sword or the Holy Sword and is a 12th century Buddhist temple. The temple was built by King Jayavarman VII to honour his father and was built on site of the victory over the invading Cham armies in 1191 AD.
The temple is one of the largest created during the Khmer empire and measures an area of 56 hectares. Один из крупнейших проектов Джаявармана VII. Преа Кхан был гораздо больше, чем храм- это был буддийский университет с более чем тысячей учителей и его окружал довольно большой город. Как и в Та Прохм, здесь была обнаружена стела с большой информацией о храме, его основании и его посвящении. На этом месте ранее стоял дворец Яшовармана II и Тибхуванадитьявармана, а упоминание "озера крови" означает, что Преа Кхан был построен на месте крупного сражения с Чамами, предотвратившего захват Ангкора. В этом сражении здесь был убит король Чамов. Король, прославившийся в этом сражении носил имя Джаясри, поэтому и город назвали "Нагара-Джаясри" (на санскрите нагара означает "город"), в то время как современное название Преа Кхан означает "Священный Меч", хотя по словам Кодеса, Джаясри означает то же самое.
Isa Khan Niyazi was an Afghan noble in Sher Shah Suri's court of the Suri dynasty, who fought against the Mughals. His octagonal tomb, constructed in 1574, is positioned within an octagonal garden, which was built during his own lifetime and the reign of Islam Shah Suri, son of Sher Shah. It later served as a burial place for the entire family of Isa Khan. On the western side of the tomb lies a three-bay wide mosque, in red sandstone. The octagonal tomb bears a striking resemblance to other tombs of the Sur dynasty monuments in the Lodhi Gardens, in Delhi and demonstrates a marked progression in the development of the exquisite architectural style of the main tomb. Some of the architectural details present here were seen later in the main Humayun's tomb, though on a much grander scale, such as the tomb being placed in a walled garden enclosure.
"Preah Khan" (Sacred Sword) is no doubt related to the sword historically carried by Angkorian kings as a symbol of their authority.
Isa Khan's Tomb is situated just outside the Humayun's tomb precincts in New Delhi. It was built in the honor of Isa Khan, a brave and valiant noble under Sher Shah, the Afghan ruler who had overthrown Humayun. It was built in 1547, in an octagonal pattern. It is an architectural gem in the Islamic art in India and remained a model tomb amongst the ruling families in its time. Said to be inspired by the tomb of Sikandar Lodi, which is 300 years older than the Isa Khan tomb, it can boast of having more graceful proportions. The 'chhatris' or small kiosks and pinnacles around the dome that were introduced here look quite elegant.

The Khan's Palace in Bakhchisaray was built in the 16th century and served as a residence for a succession of Crimean Khans. The Crimean Khanate was a Turkic vassal state of the Ottoman Empire from 1478 to 1774 -- the longest-lived of the Turkic khanates that succeeded the empire of the Golden Horde.

Строительство дворца началось при Менгли-Гирее I в 1503 г. параллельно с новой Ханской столицей, к этому периоду времени относится возведение Демир-Капы. Но основные работы по его созданию велись в период правления Сахиб-Гирея I: с 1532 по 1551 гг. было построено большинство прекрасных зданий.
Однако говорить, что возведение его закончили незадолго до смерти Сахиб-Гирея, было бы неправильно. Фактически каждый из ханов добавлял что-то свое – так и продолжалось до ликвидации Крымского ханства в 1785 г. Во время русско-турецкой войны 1735-1739 гг. в 1736 г. Бахчисарай был взят русскими войсками, а ханская резиденция сожжена по приказу фельдмаршала Миниха.
