The Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage". Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Islamic, Persian, Ottoman Turkish and Indian architectural styles. In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed a...

The temples at Khajuraho, India, were built during the Chandella dynasty, which reached its apogee between 950 and 1050. Only about 20 temples remain; they fall into three distinct groups and belong to two different religions – Hinduism and Jainism. They strike a perfect balance between architecture and sculpture. The Temple of Kandariya is decorated with a profusion of sculptures that are among the greatest masterpieces of Indian art. The complex of Khajuraho represents a unique artistic creation, as much for its highly original architecture as for the sculpted décor of a surprising quality made up of a mythological repertory of numerous scenes of amusements of which not the least known are the scenes, susceptible to various interpreta...

The Shelsley Walsh Speed Hill Climb is a hillclimb in Shelsley Walsh, Worcestershire, England, organised by the Midland Automobile Club (MAC). It is one of the oldest motorsport events in the world, and is in fact the oldest to have been staged continuously (wartime excepted) on its original course, first having been run in 1905. On that first occasion, the course was 992 yards (907 m) in length, but in 1907 it was standardised at 1000 yards (914 m), the length it remains today. Shelsley Walsh is a notably steep course by the standards of today's hillclimbs. It rises 328 feet (100 m) during its length, for an average gradient of 1 in 9.14 (10.9%), with the steepest section being as much as 1 in 6.24 (16%). This makes Shelsley a hill o...

A detail of one of the magnificent stained glass windows, in the modern Coventry Cathedral, England, built following the destruction of the old Cathedral in World War 2. This is one of the Nave windows. The ten windows were designed and executed by a team of artists led by Lawrence Stanley Lee. He, Geoffrey Clarke and Keith New designed three windows each, with the tenth being a collaboration. Lawrence Lee's were the two red windows (opposite sides of the nave) and the gold window on the right as you look towards the front of the cathedral (and the old cathedral). You can read more about these windows here. Camera: Canon EOS 20D !http://ih0.redbubble.net/work.7018479.3.lp,375x360,b,s,Q292ZW50cnkgR2xhc3M%3D.jpg! !http://ih3.redbu...
