Been very busy lately so not been easy to get working on any photos.
Phanom Rung, one of the largest and most significant of all Khmer temples in Thailand, is located on top of an extinct volcano. The temple was build between the 10th and 13th century on the ancient route from the Khmer capital Angkor Thom to Phimai, the site of another large Khmer temple further West in Nakhon Ratchasima. A 160 meter long processional walkway leads to the impressive central sanctuary. As the main sanctuary was constructed out of pink sandstone, Phanom Rung is also known as “stone castle”. Phanom Rung has been restored by the Thai Fine Arts Department. The monument has been submitted to UNESCO’s tentative list for consideration as a future World Heritage Site.
The "Temple of Janus" is a cultic structure of Romano-Celtic design located in Autun, Saône-et-Loire, France, to the North-West of the ancient city of Augustodunum.
The temple lies in the centre of a vast sanctuary, whose extent and complexity was revealed by excavations conducted from 2013 to 2016, on a site whose history goes back to Neolithic times, and which experienced an important phase of monumental constructions in the 1st Century AD. The temple was abandoned at the onset of the Early Middle Ages, and its structures were later reused in the fashioning of a Medieval defensive work. The temple has retained two sides of its square cella, at a height of over 20 metres, as well as vestiges of its ambulatory and side structure foundations. The temple's supposed dedication to the Roman god Janus is not based on any archaeological or historic fact, and the deity that was venerated in the temple is unknown.
The Temple of Janus was included on the first list of protected historical French monuments, established in 1840. (Wikipedia)

Kinkaku-ji (Temple of the Golden Pavilion), Kyoto, Japan
The Zen Buddhist temple at Rokuon-ji in Kyoto, Japan, is known as Kinkaku-ji or the Temple of the Golden Pavilion. The top two stories of the pavilion are covered with pure gold leaf and it shimmers in the mirror pond below. Zen typology abounds, with every minute detail of the building and garden designed for aesthetic effect. Whilst the complex dates back to 1397, the current pavilion was rebuilt in 1955 after an arson attack. It is, however, a supremely peaceful and beautiful place.
Class 33 No. 33045 departs from Bristol Temple Meads on 7th July 1985. I have no record of the train, but looking at the consist and apparent lack of passengers it may be an ECS working. The crowds are waiting to see the ill-fated 'Great Western Limited' working with 4930 'Hagley Hall' & 5051 'Defiant', which stalled on Dainton Bank later in the day. A Class 37 and 'Peak' are stabled on the right outside Bath Road Depot. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
The Abu Simbel temples are two massive rock temples at Abu Simbel, near the border with Sudan. The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside in the 13th century BC, during the 19th dynasty reign of the Pharaoh Ramesses II. They serve as a lasting monument to the king and his queen Nefertari, and commemorate his victory at the Battle of Kadesh. Their huge external rock relief figures have become iconic.

Die Felsentempel von Abu Simbel, befindet sich im ägyptischen Teil Nubiens und wurde im 13. Jahrhundert v. Chr. unter Pharao Ramses II. errichtet.
This image of the ancient Roman temple in Palmyra , Syria , was taken before the barbarians of ISIL arrived. Palmyra was considered by many to be the most important & beautiful Roman city in the world. But this meant nothing to the fanatical Jihadists of ISIL as they trashed the whole site.

Well the last 4 nights have produced some of the most inspiring sun sets a photographer could hope for. As you can see from my previous pages i try and take shots using no artificial means and i have to say I’m really surprised how well these have come out.
This picture was taken at Garricks Temple, that over looks the Thames. The Temple was an homage by Garrick to Shakespeare. If it was a beautiful last night as it was in Garricks day then i can see why he did it.
Il tempio Kanchi Kailasanathar è la struttura più antica di Kanchipuram. É un tempio indù nello stile architettonico dravidico, dedicato a Shiva ed è noto per la sua importanza storica. Il tempio fu costruito nel 600/700 dC da un sovrano della dinastia Pallava. La struttura in arenaria contiene un gran numero di incisioni, tra cui molte divinità semi-animali che erano popolari durante il primo periodo architettonico dravidico. La struttura contiene 58 piccoli santuari dedicati a varie forme di Shiva. Queste sono costruite in nicchie sulla faccia interna dell'elevata parete composta del passaggio centrale.

I think a lot of times when people think of China, they think of this type of scene, sloped temple roofs rising out of the forest. This was at a temple in the Shijiazhuang area. We went to visit a ping-pong academy, but they wouldn't let us in because of the swine flu (we were Americans and they didn't want to risk letting us in). So we went to this temple instead. It was beautiful, like most temples are.
Here you can see glimpses of a couple of the exquisitely decorated temples which form this large complex of temples.
Prominent in the foreground are huge containers for the burning of incense sticks.
It was once the royal temple of the Kingdom of Dali, originally built in the 9th century. At its height, the temple included 891 rooms, 11,400 Buddhist iconographies, three pavilions, and seven buildings. The temple was severely damaged by earthquakes and conflict during the rule of the Qing Dynasty, but was later rebuilt in 2005.
The Temple of Garni is the only standing Greco-Roman colonnaded building in Armenia and the former Soviet Union. Built in the Ionic order in the village of Garni, Armenia, it is the best-known structure and symbol of pre-Christian Armenia.

Thank you!
Remarkably pristine, for carvings created in the 10th Century in a country like Cambodia often in a state of upheaval. Banteay Srei is a small temple complex a short distance removed from the major attraction of Angkor Wat. Considered a jewel for its manageable size and beautiful stone-work, the principle building material was red sandstone; a medium that lends itself to fine detail, as can be seen here. Built as a temple dedicated to the Hindu god Sriva, it would have ultimately become a Buddhist site.
