29052015 Ancient City of Polonnaruwa
Vatadage (Sinhala: වටදාගේ) is a type of Buddhist structure found in Sri Lanka. It also known as dage, thupagara, and cetiyagara. Although it may have had some Indian influence, it is a structure that is more or less unique to ancient Sri Lankan architecture. Vatadages were built around small stupas for their protection, which often enshrined a relic or were built on hallowed ground. Circular in shape, they were commonly built of stone and brick and adorned with elaborate stone carvings. Vatadages may have also had a wooden roof, supported by a number of stone columns arranged in several concentric rows.
Only ten vatadages now remain in Sri Lanka. The builders of many of these monuments are unknown, as are their time of creation. The oldest such construction is believed to be the one surrounding the Thuparama stupa. The best example of a vatadage is generally believed to be the one at Polonnaruwa. Along with it, the vatadages at Medirigiriya, and Tiriyaya remain more or less intact.
Mihintale
is a mountain peak near Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka. It is believed by Sri Lankans to be the site of a meeting between the Buddhist monk Mahinda and King Devanampiyatissa which inaugurated the presence of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. It is now a pilgrimage site, and the site of several religious monuments and abandoned structures.

Structure Data conference at the Mission Bay Conference Center in San Francisco on Wednesday & Thursday, March 9-10, 2016
Tens of thousand of teenagers are fighting to be the ones that will fulfill their dream- To be a soldier in the Israeli Special Forces.
Many of them are training for many years in special groups that help them to pass the hard tests in the way. One of these groups is 'ALUF', which is 'Champion' in Hebrew.
I had the privilege to be there with them and to capture their very special moments in the way to their dream.
The mission in this picture is simple, or at least looks like. Every group needs to build a pile of sand that will reach the high of the garbage bin. The only problem is that in one word of the instructor, 'Incident', makes them sprint 150 meters, and they can't keep building untill the last teammate arrived.
The purpose of this mission is to train them to work in a team, and to check their creativity.
