Plaza Blanca (The White Place) is a badlands area of bone-white cliffs formed out of volcanic tuff from the eruptions of the nearby Valles Caldera over a million years ago. It stands in a valley below the Dar al Islam Mosque, and creates striking formations
of hoodoos and fortresses in a stark desert landscape made famous in a series of paintings in the 1940s by the renowned 20th century artist Georgia O’Keeffe. www.digital-images.net/Gallery/Scenic/Southwest/NewMexico...

A day in the garden with my friend.
Not sure about this one, I like that it has a kinda antique mood.

Another view of the bouquet Trish was preparing for another wedding, this time showing more of the 'raw materials' in the background.
Very early Autumn colors up in Aroostook County, looking over a potato field (oops, almost pulled a Dan Quayle there).
My apologies for the picture quality. I thought that the message on this sign was just so bad, so totally and completely not cool, that I had to post it.

The Tomb of Akbar the Great is an important Mughal architectural masterpiece, built 1605–1613, set in 48 Ha of grounds in Sikandra, a suburb of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India.
HISTORY
The third Mughal Emperor, Akbar the Great (1555–1605), himself commenced its construction in around 1600, according to Tartary tradition to commence the construction of one's tomb during one's lifetime. Akbar himself planned his own tomb and selected a suitable site for it. After his death, Akbar's son Jahangir completed the construction in 1605-1613. Akbar was one of the greatest emperors in the history of India. However during the reign of Aurangzeb Alamgir, Rebellious Jats under Raja Ram Jat, ransacked the intricate tomb, plundered and looted all the beautiful gold, jewels, silver and carpets, whilst destroying other things. There are still signs of burning on the gates. Akbar's bones were also burnt and the Tomb suffered a lot, until extensive repair was carried out by the British under Lord Curzon. The neighboring Taj Mahal was also looted, and two of Agra's gates were taken away.
LOCATION
It is located at Sikandra, in the suburbs of Agra, on the Mathura road (NH2), 8 km west-northwest of the city center. About 1 km away from the tomb, lies Mariam's Tomb, the tomb of Mariam-uz-Zamani, wife of the Mughal Emperor Akbar and the mother of Jahangir.
ARCHITECTURE
The south gate is the largest, with four white marble chhatri-topped minarets which are similar to (and pre-date) those of the Taj Mahal, and is the normal point of entry to the tomb. The tomb itself is surrounded by a walled enclosure 105 m square. The tomb building is a four-tiered pyramid, surmounted by a marble pavilion containing the false tomb. The true tomb, as in other mausoleums, is in the basement.
The buildings are constructed mainly from a deep red sandstone, enriched with features in white marble. Decorated inlaid panels of these materials and a black slate adorn the tomb and the main gatehouse. Panel designs are geometric, floral and calligraphic, and prefigure the more complex and subtle designs later incorporated in Itmad-ud-Daulah's Tomb.
