I took this picture in Teruel (Spain). The door belongs to Casa Ferrán, which was built in 1910 by the architect Pablo Monguió in beautiful Modernist style. This entrance tells people behind me live very rich and powerful people.

This main road and its side streets are known for their international and local shops, restaurants, bars, galleries, and specialty stores. Besides its excellent shops, Skolavordustigur Street is known for its unique appearance and cultural significance. A considerable portion of the pedestrian road is painted rainbow, making for stunning sightseeing. It is also called the Reykjavik Rainbow Street.

One of the first fire escapes of any type was invented in 18th-century England. It was a machine called a fire escape, which, being fastened to the window, would enable a person to descend to the street without injury. In the United States and Europe in the 1950s and 1960s, it became clear in the poorer areas of cities that fire escapes were commonly used for everything, but their intended purpose. Some residents placed items on the fire escape (chairs, bicycles or plants), which added weight and impeded emergency escape.

I took this picture at teamLab Planets, in Tokyo a few days ago. This digital museum comprises 4 large-scale artwork spaces and 2 gardens. Each space makes you immerse with other people in these massive artworks, the boundary between the body and the artwork dissolves, the boundaries between the self, others, and the world become something continuous, and we explore a new relationship without boundaries between ourselves and the world. From April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, teamLab Planets welcomed 2,504,264 visitors, earning it a Guinness World ...

I took this picture at the Queens Park in Toowoomba last Wednesday. Toowoomba is currently celebrating its Carnival of Flowers. The plant, like the cherry blossom, belongs to the genus ‘prunus’, but this is prunus persica or commonly known as flowering peach. It is well-suited to the Toowoomba region and is found in local gardens and streetscapes. These ornamental trees are known for their vibrant blossoms that appear in early spring, often before the leaves emerge.

This urinal and a few like it are on the first floor of the d’Arenberg Cube, the work started in 2014 and finished in 2017. The building has five stories and it is in the middle of vineyards. The exhibition rooms have bronze sculptures and artworks on loan from the Salvador Dali Universe in Switzerland, as well as from other artists.

This imperial palace complex in the centre of Beijing, China. It was the residence of 24 Ming and Qing dynasty Emperors. I was the centre of political power in China for over 500 years from 1420 to 1924. The Anglo-French forces took control of the palace and occupied it until the end of the war in 1860 in the Second Opium War. The Empress Dowager Cixi fled from the Forbidden City during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, leaving it to be occupied by forces of the treaty powers. After being the home of 24 emperors — 14 of the Ming dynasty and 10 of ...

Pizarro was born in Trujillo, Spain, to a poor family. Pizarro accompanied Vasco Núñez de Balboa in his crossing of the Isthmus of Panama, and became one of the first Europeans to see the Pacific Ocean from the Americas. Later, Pizarro conquered Peru on his third expedition. Pizarro captured the Inca emperor Atahualpa at the Battle of Cajamarca in November 1532, and he demanded a ransom for the emperor's release. Atahualpa’s people filled a room with gold and two with silver, but Pizarro charged him with 12 crimes and garrotted him in July ...

This Madrilenian stew is a traditional chickpea-based stew associated with the Madrid region. It is most popular as Sunday lunch during the winter. Long-cooking cocidos are thought to be derived from Sephardic adafina recipes. Societal discrimination against conversos (Jewish people who became to Catholics) in early Modern Iberia and the subsequent fear of being denounced as a crypto-Jew favoured the incorporation of pork into meals. Soon lard, bacon, chorizo (pork sausage) and morcilla (blood sausage) were added to the dish.
