  • As one enters the monastic complex, ones is welcomed by a shrine and a standing Buddha with a raised hand in a gesture of reassurance and blessing to visitors, The "parasol" over his head indicates the supremacy of Buddhism. The central figure of the Manfeilang Monastery ( of the Dai denomination) is the White Pagoda  which lies on elevated ground on the banks of the Mekong river in south west Yunnan province.  Dai monasteries are built in the centre of a village or as in this case outside  on higher ground.<br />
<br />
Built in 1204, the Manfeilang monastery complex is in fact a cluster of nine pagodas or stupas, to enshrine what is purported to be the Buddha’s footprint. The whole ensemble forms a fusion of Southeast Asian Buddhist style with typical Dai architecture. It is popular for Buddhist pilgrims from the surrounding region which attracts thousands during the Tan Ta Festival in late October early November each year.  In this region and in these Dai and Sino-Burmese monasteries, Theravada Buddhism is the religion that is practiced.

  • Using techniques developed over thousands of years, a portrait of traditional thatchers with straw for a barn roof in Suffolk, England. In England a ridge will normally last 10–15 years. Thatching is the craft of building a roof with dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge (Cladium mariscus), rushes and heather, layering the vegetation so as to shed water away from the inner roof. It is a very old roofing method and has been used in both tropical and temperate climates. Thatch is still the choice of affluent people who desire a rustic look for their home or who have purchased an originally thatched abode.

  • Red-tinted landscape against green grass caused by the Serpentine Gallery's Pavilion. Divided in half red and half green, late afternoon sunshine is backlit to reveal the shape and form of this building in one of London's most imminent of green spaces. The Serpentine's 40th Anniversary—the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion is designed by world-renowned French architect Jean Nouvel. The entire design is rendered in a vivid red that, in a play of opposites, contrasts with the green of its park setting. In London, the colour reflects the iconic British images of traditional telephone boxes, post boxes and London buses. The building consists of bold geometric forms, large retractable awnings and a sloped freestanding wall that stands 12m above the lawn. Striking glass, polycarbonate and fabric structures create a versatile system of interior and exterior spaces.

  • Virgin boss, Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic directors Will Whitehorn and Stephen Attenborough, talk to the media during the unveiling of their SpaceShipTwo concept model's unveiling at the New York Wired NextFest at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.  Now under construction by Burt Rutan in Mojave, California and looking more like a Stanley Kubrick movie set from '2001 A Space Odyssey,' than the future for everyday holidays, SpaceShipTwo is a re-usable orbiting vehicle that will become an important tool for Man's leisure time in space when affordable commercial space tourism starts in around 2009.  <br />
Aboard the re-usable space vehicle will be 6 passengers, each of whom will have paid $200,000 for the 40 minute flight to 360,000 feet (109.73km, or 68.18 miles) and to experience just 6 minutes of weighlessness.<br />
Launched in September 2004 by Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic will invest up to $250 million to develop the world’s first commercial space tourism business with the building, testing and flying of five space shipShipTwos and two mother ships.  It is expected that within the first full year of commercial operations Virgin Galactic will enable 500 people to fulfil their dreams of becoming astronauts; in the last 4 decades the world has seen fewer than 500 astronauts. Flights start around 2009.<br />

  • Red-tinted window landscape caused by the Serpentine Gallery's Pavilion. Young visitors gather to talk and drink within the main structure of the Serpentine's 40th Anniversary—the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion is designed by world-renowned French architect Jean Nouvel. The entire design is rendered in a vivid red that, in a play of opposites, contrasts with the green of its park setting. In London, the colour reflects the iconic British images of traditional telephone boxes, post boxes and London buses. The building consists of bold geometric forms, large retractable awnings and a sloped freestanding wall that stands 12m above the lawn. Striking glass, polycarbonate and fabric structures create a versatile system of interior and exterior spaces.

  • Danger Asbestos sign on a construction / demolition site on 30th March 2021 in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral which is composed of long crystals, each fibre being composed of many microscopic fibrils that can be released into the atmosphere by abrasion and other processes. Asbestos is an excellent electrical insulator and is highly heat-resistant, so for many years it was used as a building material. However, it is now a well-known health and safety hazard and the use of asbestos as a building material is illegal in many countries. Inhalation of asbestos fibres can lead to various serious lung conditions, including asbestosis and cancer.

  • Piles of trimmed timber logs awaiting shipment from a timber yard near Eureka, California. According to the American Forest and Paper Association, California has 99,599 acres of logging forest with the Forestry and logging industry employing 5,640 workers earning a payroll of $122,670. But recession has brought about a slump in the need for house-building materials and many have lost jobs though this industry still features large in the local and state economy, though in diminished form from the past.

  • Working in a dark corner of Desford Brickworks, the factory owned by Hanson Brick in Leicestershire, a labourer pats his clay aggregate into a clod (also known as a clot or warp) a lump of kneaded clay formed into a rough brick shape by hand in preparation for being thrown into the mould (or mold) and shaped once again with a stock. He will then skim off the surplus with the bow - a wire stretched between the ends of a curved wooden rod used for removing excess clay from the mould, which hangs on the wall by a nail. The stage afterwards is the firing in the kiln. Obviously the mechanisation of brick making endangers the careers of skilled craftsmen like this man. <br />
Bricks may be made from clay, shale, soft slate, calcium silicate, concrete, or shaped from quarried stone but Clay is the most common material.

  • A detail of broken windows, crumbling plaster and brickwork, of a derelict, abandoned house that features traditional Portuguese tiles, on 12th July 2016, at Cascais, near Lisbon, Portugal. Across the country, and even at important tourist landmarks, buildings sit vacant and often collapsing. Sometimes it is because a previous generation have passed away to leave properties in the hands of arguing families. Beautiful buildings are therefore left to collapse in town centres.
