Thirumalai Nayak Palace, Madurai, India

Madurai | palace maintenance _ In its heyday – from about 1636 AD – Tirumalai Nayak Palace was considered to be one of the wonders of the South. Built in a blend of indigenous and Islamic style to be the grandest in South India and still famous for its giant pillars. The audience chamber is a vast hall, open to a central courtyard with arcades about 12 m high, finished in smooth stucco, still splendid and in beautiful contrast to the natural stone floors. _ #mytinyatlasINDIA @tinyatlasquarterly @kamalantravels

Lower Lusatian Heath Nature Park, Germany

architecture with a view for #whp?? there is actually a lot more to see at the extensive brown coal mining region in lower lusatia (niederlausitz). surreal man made landscape, that is slowly turning into an artificial chain of lakes. the area is so remote, that quite a few wolf packs live there. in frame: @vomstreunern #brandenburg #stefangiers #architectureandpeople
