El castillo de Burgalimar (del árabe Burj al-Hamma, 'torre de los Baños'), es una fortaleza califal, construida en el siglo x sobre un pequeño cerro que domina la localidad de Baños de la Encina, situada en el norte de la provincia de Jaén (Andalucía, España).

 

Rodeado y flanqueado por una robusta y almenada muralla con catorce torres, más una decimoquinta torre del homenaje de factura cristiana, el castillo apenas ha sufrido daños, ya sean causados por el tiempo o la acción humana. Representa por tanto un ejemplo perfecto de fortaleza andalusí del siglo x, y constituye el conjunto fortificado mejor preservado de la época califal, al mismo tiempo que es uno de los castillos musulmanes mejor conservados de toda España. Su inestimable valor histórico y artístico es la razón por la que este castillo llegó a ser declarado como Monumento Nacional en 1931.1​os de la Encina (Jaén)

Access road to the top of the "Serra da Estrela"

A "blast from the past". Narrow Wangjiamatou Road (王家码头路) leads from Xiaonanmen (小南门) to the wharves at Huangpu River - "Matou" (码头) means "wharf, pier, jetty" in Chinese.

 

The area around Xiaonanmen, a maze of tiny and tinier alleys and "弄 nong", filled with small 1 to 2 storey houses is in parts still in the same state as it was in colonial times - and/or even before that. One of the last remnants of the (in colonial times) so called "Chinese City".

But it's doomed - urban redevelopment calls for demolition of the small old buildings and construction of new, shiny apartment and office towers. View it on a black background

Here is a photo of the road ahead.

Montepulciano - Italy

The main road from Oruro to Uyuni in Bolivia. Traveling through the more remote parts from Bolivia is hot and dusty. The latter especially because of frequent trucks. After nightfall it can become difficult when the destination is off the main route as there is little signposting and no lights with frequent unmarked tracks branching off

Liked the direction of the streaming clouds here that mirrored the rock formations below the lighthouse.
