The Church of El Carmen de la Asuncion, Santuario Mariano, Cuenca was founded in 1682. The beautiful city of Cuenca, Ecaudor sits at an altitude of 8,400 ft (2,560 m). The central part of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Trust site because of the many historical buildings - some dating back to the Spanish settlement of the city in the 16th century. AIMG 9993

Sign outside the Massachusetts State House. I've always found this sign to be amusing. Not many state houses have special entrances for hookers (slang for prostitutes). It actually refers to the statute of General Joseph Hooker, a Union army officer during the Civil War, which is nearby. AIMG_1487

The entrance to the site of the Taj Mahal is enormous, as is evidenced by comparing it to the size of the people passing through it.. The building known as the Taj Mahal is actually a mausoleum on the other side of this entrance. It was built in Agra, India by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. In addition to the iconic mausoleum, there are a number of other significant structures on the site. Contruction took place from about 1632 until approximately 1653. AIMG_6028
