This is the front entrance of the hotel Live Aqua Cancun in Cancun, Mexico. It was a fabulous week there. When you walk in, the whole hotel has a wonderful eucalyptus smell. The whole hotel has a wonderful modern, minimalistic and zen atmosphere.
Like most modern buildings - the japanese have this penchant for glossy (and slippery) marble floors. The darker stripe with the ribbing is for sight impaired - they can feel the edges of the sidewalk.

Kedleston Hall
An extravagant temple to the arts. Commissioned in the 1750s by Nathaniel Curzon whose ancestors had resided at Kedleston since the 12th century. The house is framed by historic parkland and boasts opulent interiors intended to impress.
Designed for lavish entertaining, Kedleston Hall displays an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures and original furnishings reflecting both the tastes of its creators and their fascination with the classical world of the Roman Empire.
Inherited by George Nathaniel Curzon, Viceroy of India between 1899 and 1905, the hall also houses the many objects he amassed during his travels in South Asia and the Middle East, and in his role leading British rule in India.
Grade I Listed

Marble Hall
Twenty fluted pink Nottingham alabaster columns with Corinthian capitals support the heavily decorated, high-coved cornice.
Niches in the walls contain casts of classical statues by Matthew Brettingham the Younger and others.
The floor is of inlaid Italian marble.
Nikolaus Pevsner describes this hall as one of the most magnificent apartments of the 18th century.
This is one of the most popular restaurants in Boudha because lots of Lamas and dharma students from around the world come here to discuss Buddhism. The food is good, lots of vegetarian meal choices. The servings are hearty. Very popular.
You really can swim in place indoors! The Fastlane delivers Endless Pools' signature current to almost any ordinary pool ... and even to some extraordinary ones!
This Roman pool gets added grandeur from the Italianate mural, tile floor, and pedestal planters.
The Fastlane lets you enjoy an uninterrupted, open-water-style swim. The view you emerge to is entirely up to you!
Ringling Museum portico - flying buttresses and niche with sculpture.
Barely discernible in this photo is a monumental sculpture located in a recessed arch at the terminus of the North portico of the Ringling Museum of Art. The subject is a 1920's fine bronze casting of *Laocoön and his sons beset by serpents. Laocoön was a Troyan priest of Apollo.
As related by Virgil, the priest tried to warn the citizens of Troy about the Trojan Horse. He dared to protest against bringing the wooden horse into the city of Troy, uttering the famous words "Whatever it is, even when Greeks bring gifts I fear them, gifts and all" (Virgil, The Aeneid, Book II, 59-70). According to the story, the Gods favored the Greek invaders, and sent sea serpents to strangle Laocoön and his sons at the altar of Neptune.
The original 1st Century A.D. sculpture was discovered in 1506 in the ruins of Titus Palace in Rome and is on display in the Vatican museum.
*Another example of the model, referenced by the Christie's link above, is the one retained by The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida (Bequest of John Ringling, 1936, SN5084). John Ringling (d. 1936) purchased many fine bronze reproductions of famous ancient sculptures directly from the Chiurazzi Foundry, Naples, Italy, during the 1920s.

A bit of an MC Escher vibe on the floor of the Catedral de Salta, not to mention the patchwork pattern, 'baby blocks'
Best in large view. Beautiful refectory table in the huge dining room at Hearst Castle, San Simeon, California--where the owner William Randolph Hearst (a media mogul in the 1930's) liked to sit in the middle so he could see folks better. His guests included most all the big name stars in Hollywood. [Explore #499, 04Nov07--at least it did better than #500!]
