#Doorsday's child has far to go ... all the way to #Córdoba in fact.
This is a lovely old #door from the Mosque-Cathedral or #Mezquita with details of #MoorishArchitecture. In fact, it's one of the oldest surviving gates of the former mosque! The door's decoration dates back to 855 when it was known as Bab al-Wuzara ("Viziers' Gate"). Lots of Al-Andalus state officials used to enter the mosque here. The Great Mosque of Córdoba was converted into a Catholic #cathedral in the 13th century. It's a World Heritage Site since 1984.

#CilimateCrisis puts a lot of #WorldHeritage in danger - and all our initiatives (e.g.: #United4Heritage ) will not be enough or fast enough to protect all of our common heritage…
Step by step, under the longest portico in the world, all the way to San Luca. Whether for a workout, a walk, or just a moment to yourself, everyone finds their own pace along this path.

The majestic Perito Moreno Glacier extends into Argentino Lake, surrounded by rugged snow-capped mountains and endless forests and trees. It is a combination of a harsh, cold environment softened by a cluster of flowering trees in the foreground.

Night photography in the historical center of Paraty (RJ, Brazil). With high tide the sea water floods the streets and reflects the colorful colonial style buildings.
The name "Paraty" means "river of fish" in the Tupi language, spoken by the native Guaianás Indians which populated the region. The Portuguese who colonized the region took over the name for their town.
Paraty is located on the Costa Verde (Green Coast), a stripe of Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Forest) that runs along the coast line south of the state of Rio de Janeiro. The historic center of Paraty and several areas of the atlantic rainforest were inscribed on UNESCO World Heritage List in 2019.

It is a classic shot of one of the main entrances to Ta Prohm Temple, but sometimes cliché becomes iconic.
The Ta Prohm is somehow most known for its tall trees and solid root system entangled in the buildings structure.
But it is also one of the more challenging temples to explore, because the structure itself, the park around it and the entrance gates. The area is so filled with interesting details and unexpected turns and ideas. This is one of the temples worth spending some time studying.
Ta Prohm (Khmer: ប្រាសាទតាព្រហ្ម, "Ancestor Brahma") is the modern name of the structure. Originally it was called Rajavihara (Khmer: រាជវិហារ, "royal monastery"). It was built during the reign of Jayavarman VII, the great ruler who is known for Bayon, the final version of Angkor Thom city and other massive social public works like hospitals and safe guesthouses all over the realm.
It was a monastery and university, build to honour the kings mother, with the gates honouring his brother and his guru. At the peak of its operation, 12 500 people lived within Ta Phrom temple complex and appx 80 000 lived in villages around it, supporting the institution.

The U.S. national park system includes many cultural and historical treasures, such as the church at Mission San José in #SanAntonio, #Texas. It’s a centerpiece of the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park and is listed as a #WorldHeritage site.

A little of Giant’s Causeway in York?
60 million year old hexagonal basalt stones, similar to those at Giant’s Causeway in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland (photos 3-5) and Fingal’s Cave on Staffa, Scotland, sit in the Fern Garden of York Museum Gardens, within sight of the Roman to medieval Multangular Tower (photos 1 and 2).
