I was hoping to catch a perfect sunset ... and then Dilbar came. Dilbar, the mega-yacht, the fourth largest in the world and the largest by the volume, 156 m long. - An allegory
An allegory (1590) by El Greco, Domenikos Theotokopoulos. A very unusual painting, probably illustrating "the simple moralising message that lust appeals to our foolish and baser instincts". - St Bavo's Church in Haarlem
The Interior of St Bavo's Church in Haarlem (the Grote Kerk) (1648) by Pieter Jansz Saenredam. - Zellij in Mexuar
This style of mosaic tilework is called zellij. Charles V was not only King of Spain, but also Holy Roman Emperor, Archduke of Austria, and Lord of the Netherlands. Maybe I missed some titles. Anyway, the double-headed eagle represents the Holy Roman Empire. - Mosaic in Nasrid palace

More wonderful zellij pattern in the palace. - Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune
View of the glazed-tiled hospice roof from the cour d'honneur, the main inner court. The roof type probably has central European origins, but is now a trademark of Burgundy. - Basilique Notre-Dame de Beaune
A magnificent stained glass window. But I have no idea how old it is. May be old, but my uneducated guess would say quite recent.
