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]
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.

This building, situated on the highest point of the citadel of Mandu, was originally an army observation point.The last independent Sultan of Mandu, Baz Bahadur, converted this into a beautiful palace for his beloved Hindu queen Roopmati.It commands magnificent views over the surrounding countryside.From here the queen could see the palace of her Sultan situated a little below and also catch a glimpse of the holy River Narmada , a river she revered and worshipped,flowing through the Nimar plains below.
A 3 bracketed shot on my early visit this day.
Going through my files for something to upload after having to cancel our 2 week visit to Scotland for some new material.

This is on the inside of this hexagonal shaped structure. This colorful pavilion is located on a hill in Dongdan Park in central Beijing, China. The hill in this lovely park affords some nice views of the city center. The hill is probably man made.
The original pavilion at Longhorn Cavern State Park in Burnet County, Texas. Completed by the Civilian Conservation Corps mid-1930s.
Follow up to an image I took several weeks ago, captured in Scarborough, Queensland. The weather yesterday, however, was a bit murky, so it felt more like our Winter.
Todays theme, Sydney's Chinese Garden of Friendship. This walled Chinese Garden respectfully recreates the philosophy and harmony of a traditional Chinese garden in its waterfalls, lakes, exotic plants, pavilions and hidden pathways.
Here we see the Water Pavilion with Phoenix Rock in the foreground.
I shall continue this theme in coming days because three photos alone cannot do justice to this beautiful place.
