I took this photo last year. I'm not sure, but I think it was the San Francisco unified school district office building . Curiously, The sculpted man in the foreground is clutching a mallet as he pores over a book -- on stone masonry, perhaps -- and the demonic-looking fellow is intensely examining a rock or a lump of something.

Maybe the oldest wall in the ruins of Delfi. The basic form is pentagonal and the stones fit so tight togeter that in places you can not get knife in between them and almost no plants or mosses eather
May be of same age as still tighter wall I visited in Ethiophia from the times of the queen of Saba, who got son with Salomon king in Jeusalem. A story not well known in our western world

there are a couple of these stone houses still standing at the location of the historical crossing point of the Colorado River north of Grand Canyon. It is wonderful that they have been kept and in repair all these 100+ years. The current use of the area, besides its historic designation, is the launch point for river rafting trips down the Colorado and through the Grand Canyon

Saint Barbara's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic, and a stunning piece of architecture. Among the many things that makes it special is its wonderful roof. Tried a slightly different approach for the interior this time around. Following the principle of "photographing things for what they are, and for what else they are" the beautiful ceiling vault reminded me of a prawn, too.
A little blast from the past from the time we visited Chester and took a quiet wander along the river. Such a lovely mix of old stone, soft water, and those gentle English greens.
This bridge has a real sense of history about it, the kind that makes you slow down and imagine all the footsteps and stories that have crossed it over the centuries. Chester itself was a striking place to explore, with a wonderfully deep past - founded almost 2,000 years ago as a Roman fortress. You can still see traces of those walls wrapped around the old town. Over time it grew into a medieval trading centre, complete with those famous black-and-white Tudor buildings and some of the best-preserved city walls in England.
The wildflowers along the riverbank added a splash of colour to one of those pleasant, peaceful moments that travel gives you sometimes when you’re not really expecting it.
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Thanks as always for the visit and any comments — they’re truly appreciated.
L’église Saint-Pierre (officiellement Saint-Pierre de la Tour) est la principale église paroissiale de la commune d'Aulnay, une ville du nord-est du département français de la Charente-Maritime.
Édifiée sans doute au cours des années 1120-1140 à la demande des chanoines de Poitiers, elle s'élève sur un site occupé à l'époque gallo-romaine par un temple païen, puis par au moins un sanctuaire chrétien.
Durant une partie du Moyen Âge, elle est une étape pour les pèlerins en partance vers Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, avant de sombrer dans une certaine léthargie au cours des siècles suivants. Redécouverte au cours du xixe siècle, elle est parmi les premiers édifices français à obtenir un classement aux Monuments historiques en 1840.
Étape remarquable sur la route des Trésors de Saintonge, elle est avant tout l'un des quatre sites du département à être inscrits au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité par l'Unesco au titre des chemins de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle en France.
Située aux confins des diocèses de Saintes et de Poitiers, Saint-Pierre d'Aulnay tient à la fois de l'art roman poitevin et saintongeais, et doit sa réputation à la richesse de son décor sculpté et à l'équilibre de ses proportions.
