of the dome is an oculus; its main purpose was to let light stream into the building and to prevents the dome from collapsing. Several smaller shrines are along the inner walls. There used to be devoted to the seven gods linked to the planets of the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, and Mars. The huge marble walls might be the most remarkable feature in Pantheon. The Pantheon, Roman The Pantheon, Roman The Pantheon, Roman The Parthenon is created as an optical illusion. It appears
to Byzantine rule. The seven-acre fortress looks over the sparkling Adriatic Sea and is sheltered by Mount Mosor. My best suggestion lose yourself in the narrow, granite alley ways. The palace reminds me of walking in an Arizona slot canyon. Steep, claustrophobic walls that work like a maze. Enter for free through one of four gates – Golden, Silver, Iron, and Bronze. I knew nothing
Laughter, sizzling, the clinking of wine glasses and the crunching of chips float down the hallway. The smell of good food made with cumin and love. The kitchen is a place of joy and family, a place of sharing our days and silently scarfing Mom’s chicken tacos. Many of the greatest moments in my life have been in my kitchen: cooking pork ribs with my dad and listening to his ridiculous old rock music, opening my first college acceptance letter, learning we were moving to Munich. Many of the worst

The rest of the building is floor tiles, exterior architectural golden stainless steel, aluminium, glass crystallised,
I said A few days later I walked into the Sphinx and gaped at the great blocks of red granite. “What are we looking for anyway” I asked “We’re looking for a passageway to another chamber that Parcak thought she saw on her camera”. Kelly , the head of the arcology guild responded We looked around the room for hours translating hieroglyphics and all sorts of things , on one wall I read on one of the walls,” those who
The Pantheon, whose name gets from the ancient Greek and signifies “common to all the gods”: Pan means “all”, and Theon means “gods”, is the best preserved building from ancient Rome. Its magnificent dome is a lasting testimony to the genius of Roman architects and as the building stands virtually intact. The purpose of the building is not known for certain but rather the name, porch and pediment decoration suggest a temple or something to that influence. Be that as it may, no faction is known not

to hide the evidence. I had many expectations for this experience. For the entrance of the courthouse, I imagined an impressive foyer with granite tiles and an information desk right in the middle of the foyer. For the courtroom, I expected to see a large and spacious room that has a high ceiling with extravagant granite floor and marble columns on the wall. I imagined hearing the echoes of my heels hitting the floor as I walked into the room. I also expected to see long, wooden benches for everyone
It was roughly five fifteen in the morning when the sun began to crest its golden crown over the awakening Hudson River and the far off New Jersey Palisades. A starless night sky seemed deliberately transformed with pink, orange, purple and red gauzy stripes, casting a warm wash over the sleeping earth. I gazed skyward as I stood near the medieval bell tower at the Cloisters, and my eyes reflected the awe-inspiring beauty. That dawn was one of many, when I found myself tramping deliberately up the
lotus, orchids. There was swans that formed a heart out of their beaks and necks and in the middle of that was an angel that had opened hands as if saying, Come, come, we are waiting for your arrival, and engraved on the side of the casket was big golden letters that spelled his mother’s name, Camellia, “She was as beautiful as the flower,” Said Dramedur’s father who seemed like he was tearing up. “I used to tease her a lot about it, she’s as beautiful in death as she was in life.” Dramedur
