Tianxin Pavilion in Changsha, the captial of Hunan province. The pavilion was built in mid-14th century on top of the ancient city wall - and the wall segment under the pavilion is the last remaining vestige of old Changsha. The pavilion has been remodeled numerous times and destroyed by fire in 1938 during the war with Japan (it was a self-inflicted wound, apparently). The current structure was renovated (and, to a large extent, rebuilt) in 1984. It is considered one of the "ten Famous Chinese Historical and Cultural Towers and Pavilions" [restated from Wikipedia]

It was a beautiful Summer's day. The sun was on the way down leaving a pale blue sky behind this attractive building.
Built for King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) inside Phraya Nakhon Cave.
Wikipedia: Phraya Nakhon is a large cave which has a hole in the ceiling allowing sunlight to penetrate. At the top of the hole, there is a stone bridge known as "death bridge" because many wild animals have fallen to their deaths from it.
Khuha Kharuehat Pavilion (พระที่นั่งคูหาคฤหาสน์) is a historic site built for King Chulalongkorn's visit to the region in 1890. At certain times during certain months, the sun will shine directly on it. The pavilion has since become the symbol of the Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. Later kings also visited the cave, including King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) and King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX).

The Royal Pavilion was built for the Prince of Wales, who later became Prince Regent, then King George IV of England. This former royal residence was built as a seaside retreat in Brighton for the Prince. Architecturally designed in the Moslem/Indian style, I was lucky enough to have my wedding photographs taken in the grounds. This is a painting included in the recent "Tudors to Windsors" exhibit at Houston's MFAH.

Waveless Boat pavilion (Bu Bo Xiao Ting 不波小艇)
This boat-shaped pavilion, just south of Lingering Clouds Peak on the west side of the Lake of Reflected Fragrance, provides a scenic view of the pavilions and bridges in all directions across the lake. The name recalls a similar pavilion in the Verdant Mountain Villa, Yongcui Shanzhuang 擁翠山荘, a historic garden in Suzhou. The word “Waveless,” or bubo, is often used in literature to describe a serene atmosphere—a boat gliding effortlessly over the water. This pavilion can flexibly be used for intimate gatherings and educational activities.

The sculpture is growing every week. So I plan to go back in a few weeks time to see how it is progressing :-).
“Küçüksu Pavilion, is a summer pavilion in Istanbul, Turkey, situated in the Küçüksu neighborhood of Beykoz district on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus between Anadoluhisarı and the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge. The pavilion was used by Ottoman sultans for short stays during country excursions and hunting.” It seemed to me that this scene showed the perfect blending of the old and the new in the city.
