Ps 31 - Nova Scotia


*from Danielle :) thanks for such a nice aerial view!
Dartmouth Nova Scotia
The former City of Dartmouth is located on Canada's east coast and is a part of the Halifax Regional Municipality. Being a very old city (founded in the year 1750) Dartmouth is chalk-full of history and charm. Called the 'City of Lakes', Dartmouth also boasts some of the most beautiful scenery in Nova Scotia, a Canadian province well-known for it's beauty.

Ps 30 - Potala Palace



*from Wang Jia Yi - China
Potala Palace
Perched upon Marpo Ri hill, 130 meters above the Lhasa valley, the Potala Palace rises a further 170 meters and is the greatest monumental structure in all of Tibet. Early legends concerning the rocky hill tell of a sacred cave, considered to be the dwelling place of the Bodhisattva Chenresi (Avilokiteshvara), that was used as a meditation retreat by Emperor Songtsen Gampo in the seventh century AD. In 637 Songtsen Gampo built a palace on the hill. This structure stood until the seventeenth century, when it was incorporated into the foundations of the greater buildings still standing today.
Thanks a lot Wang Jia Yi..:)

Ps29 - The Temple Of Heaven / The Echo Wall



*from Francoise of Beijing China
The Temple of Heaven (also Tiantan Park) is the grandest cult architecture complex in the world and a masterpiece of the Chinese people created in ancient times. It covers 2,700,000 square meters (667 acres), which is nearly four times the area of the Forbidden City. The temple was constructed in 1420 during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and was enlarged during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Emperors of the two dynasties used to worship the heaven and pray for rich harvests, as the feudal emperors thought they were the son of the heaven.
This courtyard is encircled by a round wall with a length of 193 meters (633 feet). The wall is the famous 'Echo Wall'. If one whispers into the hall, another person who is standing at the wall with a distance 100 to 200 meters (328-656 feet) can hear the speaker clearly....wow!
Thanks so much Francoise:)

Ps28 - Taj Mahal



*from Abhishek of New Delhi
Taj Mahal
An ode to Beauty..
A sonnet of Love..

No other monument in the world has evoked more sighs than the Taj Mahal. Because never again will cold perfection and passionate love be seen together in such spellbinding form.

*built in memory of his queen Mumtaz Mahal, by the Mughal emperior Shah Jahan in the 17th century, the Taj Mahal is one of the wonders of the world. Amongst India’s 27 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, it is crowning achievement of Mughal architecture and perhaps, the finest tribute to love anywhere on earth.
Thanks a lot Abhishek for the postcard & nice stampsss:)

Ps19 - The Colosseum


*from: Francesca of Rome Italy
The Colosseum
The greatest amphitheatre of the antiquity - was built in Rome, Italy, about 1920 years ago. It is considered an architectural and engineering wonder, and remains as a standing proof of both the grandeur and the cruelty of the Roman world.After the splendour of imperial times, the Colosseum was abandoned, and in turn it became a fortress for the medieval clans of the city, a source of building materials, a picturesque scenery for painters, a place of Christian worship.
