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.

With the round columns on the ground floor, this Khmer
building has a vague resemblance to a Greek or Roman temple.
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.
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.
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.

Un érable sème ses feuilles pourpres sur le chemin du pavillon de thé à côté d'une lanterne décorative, comme une petite pagode de pierre où les étages symbolisent les 5 éléments de l’univers bouddhique.

Masjid Wazir Khan is one of the famous remaining mosques from the Mughal era. Located near the Delhi gate of the Walled City, it is vastly different from the Badshahi mosque, both in form and style.
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.

Established in the 14th century, is a most famous bazaar and always been an important district for cultural and economic activities.
The bazaar district is one of Cairo's main attractions for tourists and Egyptians alike.
It is also home to many Egyptian artisans and workshops involved in the production of traditional crafts and souvenirs.
The man in the picture was an extremely nice and friendly seller. If you have the chance, do go look for him when you are there
In The Days Of Genghis Khan
Back in human history in the days of Genghis Khan
To be a hero in war was to prove yourself a man
But in the Human World in some ways things have not changed since then
We still have the attitude that war separates the boys from the men.
In this the age of advanced technology some things have not changed at all
So called patriots dead war heroes like to recall
And celebrate like football fans wars fought and won
Whilst the mother is left for to grieve for her dead soldier son.
The winners write the war history as we have been told
And some men do not grow wiser they only grow old
And no fool like an old fool as some like to say
With some at least it does seem a bit that way.
Since Genghis Khan's time in technology giant steps have been made
But for the returned war heroes there's still a street parade
And millions of young men in battles have died
For flag and for Country and National pride.
