Pura Dalem Ubud (Bali - Indonesia), a photo by Kaptah on Flickr.

A través de Flickr:
Tras un paseo por los arrozales, volvimos a Ubud y nos encontramos con este templo, cuya entrada (no es la que se ve en la foto) casi pasaba inadvertida y cuyo interior y recinto fue uno de los más cautivadores de todo Bali. Parecía, aunque quizá me equivoque, un templo alejado de las rutas turísticas más ortodoxas, más del día a día, más autentico.

After a walk through the rice fields, we returned to Ubud and found this temple. The entrance (not the one you see in the picture) almost went unnoticed and whose inner enclosure was one of the most captivating of all Bali. It seemed a temple away from the main tourist routes, more real, more authentic.

The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite

This here is the place I will be staying.
There isn't a number. You can call the pay phone.
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time.
If I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more.
If I don't pick up, pick up... The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil

Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.

There are scratches all around the coin slot
like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up,
but this machine can only swallow money.
You can't lay a patch by computer design.
It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs.

Tell her,
tell her she can kiss my ass, then laugh and say that you were only kidding.
That way she'll know that it's really, really, really, really me.

Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.

Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me.
Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial.
A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some Nescafe and ice,
a candy bar, a falling star, or a reading of Doctor Seuss;

Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.

The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way,
always had a smile and a reason to pretend.
But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream.
The sidewinder sleeps on his back.

Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
Call me when you try to wake her up. Call me when you try to wake her.
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.
I can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her.

A través de Flickr:
La Catedral de Colonia (Kölner Dom en alemán - oficialmente Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria), de estilo neogótico, comenzó a construirse en 1248 y no se terminó hasta 1880, siendo actualmente el monumento más visitado de Alemania.

Con sus 157 metros de altura fue el edificio más alto del mundo hasta la culminación del Monumento a Washington en 1884, de 170 metros.

Es la mayor catedral de Alemania y la segunda catedral gótica por dimensiones del mundo (la más grande es la de Sevilla).

Cuenta con la campana balanceante más grande del mundo ("Der dicke Pitter", en el dialecto de Colonia: "Pedro el gordo", que suena sólo en ocasiones muy especiales). Posee una plataforma, desde donde se tiene, a 95 metros de altura, una excelente vista de la ciudad y del paisaje de los alrededores (genial para fotos).

Fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en el año 1996.

------------------

Cologne Cathedral (German: Kölner Dom, officially Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria, English: High Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Mary) is a Roman Catholic church in Cologne, Germany. It is renowned as a monument of Christianity, of German Catholicism in particular, of Gothic architecture and of the continuing faith and perseverance of the people of the city in which it stands. It is dedicated to Saint Peter and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The cathedral is a World Heritage Site, one of the best-known architectural monuments in Germany, and Cologne's most famous landmark, described by UNESCO as an "exceptional work of human creative genius". It is Germany's most visited landmark, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day.

Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 and took, with interruptions, until 1880 to complete. It is 144.5 metres (474 ft) long, 86.5 m (284 ft) wide and its towers are approximately 157 m (515 ft) tall. The cathedral is one of the world's largest churches and the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe. For four years, 1880–84, it was the tallest structure in the world, until the completion of the Washington Monument.

The 24-ton St. Petersglocke ("Bell of St. Peter", "Dicke Pitter" in the Kölsch dialect), was cast in 1922 and is the largest free-swinging bell in the world.
