Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares - Sevilla
El Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de la ciudad de Sevilla (Andalucía, España) está localizado en la plaza de América del parque de María Luisa. Al otro lado de la plaza se encuentra el Museo Arqueológico. Fue el pabellón de Arte Antiguo de la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929.
Fue planteado como pabellón de Industrias, Manufacturas y Artes Decorativas. Finalmente, se le llamó pabellón de Arte Antiguo e Industrias Artísticas. Se trata de un edificio proyectado en 1913 y construido en 1914 por el arquitecto Aníbal González, autor también de los otros edificios levantados en la misma plaza de América. Es de ladrillo visto con motivos decorativos de cerámica. Por su estilo arquitectónico, fue conocido como el pabellón Mudéjar.
En principio constaba de dos plantas sobre una cámara de aireación para evitar la humedad. Se realiza una mejora durante la década de 1960 en la planta principal, que tenía más de doce metros de altura, y se dividió con una planta artificial (corresponde a la planta primera) por el arquitecto Antonio Delgado y Roig. En 1972 se unen las plantas con una gran escalera de caracol que diseña el arquitecto José Galnares Sagastizábal, trabajo que realiza después de que la construcción fuese designada para albergar el museo por el Decreto de Creación del Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, con fecha de 23 de marzo de 1972, constituido como una sección del Museo de Bellas Artes.
Sus funciones como museo se desarrollan desde el 4 de marzo de 1973, fecha en que abre sus puertas al público.

Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville
The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville (Spanish: Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares) is a museum in Seville, Andalusia, Spain, located in the María Luisa Park, across the Plaza de América from the Provincial Archeological Museum.
The museum occupies the Mudéjar Pavilion (Pabellón Mudéjar) designed by Aníbal González and built in 1914. It served as an art pavilion, the Pabellón de Arte Antiguo, for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, when Aníbal González had the opportunity to design several additional permanent buildings for the plaza. The exterior is ceramic over brick, and has three doors with archivolts adorned with glazed tiles (azulejos).[citation needed]
The building originally consisted of two stories over an aeration chamber (necessary because of the humidity). In the 1960s, the main floor, originally over 12 metres (39 ft) high, was divided in two, with an intermediate level added by architect Delgado Roig. In 1972, as part of the preparations for the current museum, the various stories of the building were connected by a grand spiral staircase designed by José Galnares Sagastizábal.
The museum was established by a decree of 23 March 1972, initially as a section of the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville. It opened its doors to the public 4 March 1973.[2] For the next seven years, the museum fell under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Science, but the city government occupied more than half of the poorly maintained building. Neither institution took full responsibility. This situation led to a series of temporary closures. In 1976, the electric bill could not be paid, and the museum had to be shut until it could get power again. In 1979, heavy rains damaged the interior.

The palafitic pier of Carrasqueira is a masterpiece of popular architecture. Erected in the 50s and 60s, it is unique in Europe and is built on irregularly fragile wooden posts, apparently fragile, that serve as a dock for fishing boats. This structure allows fishermen access to boats, even during low tide. Carrasqueira, Setúbal - Portugal.
Eilean Donan Castle is undoubtedly a Scottish icon and certainly one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Highlands. When you see it for the first time, it's easy to see why so many people flock to its sturdy gates year after year. Strategically located on its own little island, overlooking the Isle of Skye, at the meeting point of three great sea lakes, and surrounded by the majestic splendour of the wooded Kintail Mountains, Eilean Donan's setting is truly breathtaking.

The Lions are iconic twin peaks on Vancouver's North Shore Mountains, visible across Metro Vancouver, resembling seated lions and named by settlers after London's Trafalgar Square statues. They include the higher West Lion (around 1646m) and East Lion (around 1606m), offering challenging hikes, particularly the West Lion via the popular Binkert Trail from Lions Bay, with the East Lion requiring advanced mountaineering skills. The peaks are a significant local landmark, inspiring the Lions Gate Bridge and the BC Lions CFL team.

It does look better
Being in denial about the end of summer but here is my first autumn shot. I feel slightly diffident about autumn photographs as my contacts from North America post such stunning ones. Autumn in England is a more muted affair. Still they cannot include a monastery from the middle ages in their shots so perhaps it balances out
Rievaulx Abbey was founded in 1132 by twelve monks from Clairvaux Abbey as a mission centre for the colonisation of the north of England and Scotland. It was the first Cistercian abbey in the north. With time it became one of the great Cistercian abbeys of Yorkshire, second only to Fountains Abbey in fame.
The remote location was ideal for the Cistercians, whose desire was to follow a strict life of prayer and self-sufficiency with as little contact as possible with the outside world.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY
The most popular outdoor spa in Iceland is the Blue Lagoon, which is actually man-made. It uses mineral-rich water from the nearby geothermal power plants where superheated water from far underground is used to run turbines that generate electricity. The milky blue shade colour comes from the water's high silica content and the temperature is just right around 38oC (100oF).

Saheliyon-ki-Bari (Courtyard of the Maidens) is a major garden and a popular tourist space in Udaipur in Indian state of Rajasthan. It lies in northern part of the city and has fountains and kiosks, a lotus pool and marble elephants. It was built by Maharana Bhopal Singh. Saheliyon ki Bari means Garden of the Maidens. There is also a small museum here.
Sahelion Ki Bari' was laid for a group of forty-eight young women attendants who accompanied a princess to Udaipur as part of her dowry. The gardens set below the embankment of the Fateh Sagar Lake have beautiful lotus pools, marble pavilions and elephant- shaped fountains. These fountains are fed by the water of the lake gushing through ducts made for the purpose. Each water channel has its distinct sound and the mingling of these sounds complement the ambience of the place Near to saheliyon-ki-bari is burhani nagar and burhani masjid,vidhiya bhawan school and seva mandir marg.
Saheliyon Ki Bari is one the most beautiful gardens and a major tourist destination in Udaipur. The garden is famous for its lush green lawns, marble art and fountains. English translation of Saheliyon Ki Bari means "Garden of maids". This renowned garden is located on the banks of Fateh Sagar Lake, presenting a green retreat in the dry lands of Rajasthan. Garden of maids was built in the 18th century by Maharana Sangram Singh for the royal ladies.
As per the legends, the garden was designed by the king himself and he presented this garden to his queen. Actually, the Queen was accompanied by 48 maids in her marriage. To offer all of them, pleasurable moments away from the political intrigues of the court, this garden was made. This patterned garden used to be the popular relaxing spot of the royal ladies. The queen with her maids and female companions used to come here for a stroll and spend their time in leisure.
Due to this fact, the garden got its name. The superb architecture of the garden provides a breath-taking view to any observer. The garden is embellished with numerous fountains in its four water pools, chiseled kiosks and marble elephants. It is also celebrated for its lotus pool and bird-fountains. The lush green lawns, flowerbeds, and marble pavilions further enhance the romantic ambience of this magnificent garden.
In the later years, Maharana Bhopal Singh really liked this place and built a pavilion of rain fountains. The thought was to form an illusion of rain dancing in cadence with dancing maids. The Kings used to enjoy around the pools and fountains of this garden. These fountains were imported from England and you can trace them along with the main reservoir of the garden. The main reservoir has four black marbled kiosks in its corners and one white marbled kiosk in its center. On the top of kiosks, these fountains are in the form of sculpted birds that spurts water from their beaks producing the rain effect.
The museum exhibiting the huge collection of royal households is another attraction of this garden. It has many ancient pictures and things of the bygone period. Sight of stuffed cobras and other animals will definitely add a tint of adventure to your trip. Above all, you can stroll through the shady lawns, where the bunch of bougainvillea will bend down to greet you. Today, Saheliyon ki Bari has become the pleasure park for the recreation of Udaipur dwellers.
Garden of Maids is actually a place to visit by any visitor to this city. The crystalloid fountains, lotus pool, marbled elephants sprinkling water and many more attractions provide truly a picturesque sight to behold.
I'm taking a little break from Flickr right now. Meanwhile lately i was collecting the most popular pics from 2016 and it turned out like i didn't expect. First i tried to use Dopianza app which created an album based on the Flickr "interestingness" index. But the result was completely disappointing because the first page was made almost completely out of my 'Explored' pics. It didn't look representive at all. So i decided to handpick the ones you liked the best (according your 'favs'). I checked the most recent pages of my stream and decided to set the bar above 30 favs (with some exceptions) because recently there was only a few of them on every page. So i started from the most recent pages and was going further. After i passed a half of the way (3 months of the Summer 2016 + May) i noticed that the number of 30+favs pics on the each next page grows quickly. That's how i found out how popular i was a couple of years ago :-)) There could be a few reasons for this. The most obvious - my pics before the "greenery" period (which in Moscow starts in May) are more popular (the ones with the snow were esp popular). And honesltly - i completely agree with you, i like them better then the sunny ones too.
Anyways it was too late to set the other bar for the 'most popular' album so i continued with 30+ favs. In the result i finished with 1285 pics. From a total number of more then 4200 pics from that time period it's more than each 4th pic - obviously much more than i expected to collect. And out of them about 950 pics are from the "grey" period (January - April) and only about 330 from the "green" period (May - August)
I have big doubts that album will be helpful for someone except me becuase it's too big. But anyways it's much easier to explore 10+ pages instead of 40+ pages of my stream and i think that smaller version of my stream based on your preferences is pretty representive and i like it. So i need to thank my regular audience for working as a test group :-)
Here's the link on that album, you might want to take a quick look on what i was sharing with you last 4 years (about 1000 pics per year by 3 pics each day) www.flickr.com/photos/62113916@N02/albums/72177720306096704
