Thank you, Tim! :)

One of the most beautiful scenes I ever seen: one hour after sunset,

on a quiet beach of a Malaysian island, some blue light sea creatures

are washed ashore under a magic celestial show. In the distance,

lightning from an approaching storm lights up the sky.

Thank you, Pierre. The camera was handheld since there was no table whatsoever :). In this church there's no furniture; only the painted walls!

The Patriarchal Church "Ascension of Christ" in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria is

painted in a striking modernist style rather than the traditional Orthodox

style. The church was built on the grounds of an Early Christian church.

Tarnovo was the capital of the Medieval Bulgarian kingdom. Contemporaries

have described it as “God’s preserved town”, “The Great Tarnov”, “The queen

of the towns”, ”the second town in words and acts after Constantinople”.

Inside the patriarchal church from Tsarevets, the medieval stronghold located on a hill with the same name in Veliko Tarnovo, northern Bulgaria

Tsarevets served as the Second Bulgarian Empire's primary fortress and strongest bulwark from 1185 to 1393, housing the royal and the patriarchal palaces.

The patriarchal church, built on the grounds of an Early Christian one, was reconstructed in 1981 and painted in 1985. The frescoes inside, painted in a striking modernist style rather than in the style of traditional Orthodox frescoes, depict conventional Christian subjects as well as glorious and tragic moments of the Second Bulgarian Empire.

L'Hemisferic is one of three buildings surrounded by beautiful blue

pools which are part of the City of the Arts and Science in Valencia.

L'Hemisferic is another masterpiece of the architect Santiago

Calatrava. The building is an IMAX cinema and planetarium.
