🏰🇵🇹 The Grande Palácio. Memories of an abandoned Neoclassical palace in Portugal
The most beautiful area is the symmetrical stone staircase. The walls are painted in the grisaille style, a shading technique creating an illusion of 3D sculptures and columns. A bright red carpet covers the stairs. A black metal lantern is suspended from the centre of the ceiling.
Abandoned for 40 years. Now it is under #renovation

#FotoVorschlag - Kirchen und Glocken
Photo theme - churches and bells
I could probably post a hundred photos for this theme.
This is Our Lady of the Rocks in the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro. Accessible only by boat, it's an artificial island partly created by sinking rock-laden vessels, a continuation of a tradition of laying rocks here after successful voyages.

I'm going to be in Frankfurt, Germany for about a week next month and will have the mornings to roam on my own. What are some hidden gems for someone interested in museums, history, art, churches, things like that? Thanks for any ideas!

🇯🇴 The "Lost" City of Petra, Jordan. Carved into red desert sandstone cliffs in southern Jordan, #Petra is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Shaped by wind and time, its rock-cut façades stand as a reminder that even great civilisations fade.
For centuries, Petra was lost to the outside world until Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt “rediscovered” it in 1812.
Fans of Indiana Jones will immediately recognise the second photo!🤠

Here are some windows in Krakow for my first #FensterFreitag offering of 2026. I was mystified as to why the bollards don't line up with the doorway...
Hier sind einige Fenster in Krakau für meinen ersten #FensterFreitag im 2026. Ich war verwirrt, warum die Poller nicht mit der Türöffnung übereinstimmen...

One more batch of striking photos of the temples Nanzenji (南禅寺) and Eikandō (永観堂) along the Eastern Mountain Range of Kyōto or the Path of Philosophy (哲学の道).
The first batch, including climbing up the huge gate of Nanzenji, is at https://hcommons.social/@SteveMcCarty/115706568145190275
It hasn't been reported in the Japanese language news, but I heard sirens and ducked into the back of Nanzenji to walk along a little-known path along the mountainside by the old canal that runs from Lake Biwa to provide fresh water to Kyōto. But the rescue trucks went to the exact same place, and I saw rescue crew looking into the canal, and men going up with at least one stretcher. I didn't stick around, though, and I left, past gawking East Asian tourists. What did they want to see? I just wanted a contemplative walk, but it was an odd coincidence.

🤠🐍 Indiana Jones vibes! The Egyptian pyramid-like ruins of an old and long-abandoned limestone quarry, swallowed by the forest. Somewhere in England.
