- Typical Korean houses
Seongsan-ri - Antalya: Saat Kulesi, Yivli Minare and the minaret of Tekeli Mehmet Pasa Mosque
Yivli Minare was built under Seljuk Sultan Ala al-Din Kay Qubadh I (1220-1237). - Double-headed eagle
On the corner of Stephansplatz and Jasomirgottstrasse. - Contrada Uberti, Cesena
- Marciana
- La citadelle Saint-Elme in Villefranche
La citadelle Saint-Elme is from the 16th century. - Nice
View of the Bay of Angels (Baie des Anges) from the Castle Hill - La Légende des siècles
I wonder what is behind these doors... Maybe just a huge Hugo fan? Place des Arcades in Biot. - Anibes
Another lovely street in the old Antibes. - Théoule-sur-Mer
The town lies at the borders of Massif de l'Esterel, a wonderful reddish volcanic mountain range. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't that nice. - The ostriches!
The coat of arms of Leoben is an ostrich. Apparently, they were considered as the only animals being able to eat iron. And since this is a mining town... ostriches are the obvious choice. - San Gimignano
View from the park of Rocca di Montestaffoli, a 14th century fortress. - Via Banchi di Sopra
These are very strange bouquets of light bulbs. - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore
- Giotto's Campanile
Giotto stared building this tower in 1334. He combined white marble from Carrara, green marble from Prato, and red marble from Siena. The tower was completed in 1359. - Giotto's Campanile
Daedalus by Andrea Pisano. Here I can actually understand why the marble is called 'green'. - DSC 9615
- House of Blackheads and Christmas tree
This wonderful building was bombed in WWII, completely demolished seven years later and rebuilt in 1999. - Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune
The reason why we came to Beaune: The hospices. Founded in 1443 as a hospital for the poor by Phillip the Good was in use until 1971. - 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. - Cherrueix
I really like this town.
