As the Earth's crust rises in the vicinity of Taiwan, differential erosion by the sea has shaped the rocks around Yehliu into their current forms. An estimate made on the basis of the average rise in the Earth's crust in northern Taiwan suggests that the Queen's Head is nearly 4,000 years old.

When the substances on the upper surface were taken away by the exogenic force, the cementation agents containing calcium and iron etc got exposed and kept the top from being further eroded while the lower part was deepened by rains and winds to eventually form high peaks. Like the stones (Stone Forest) in Kunming, the earth pillars in Yuanmou have been given various names by the locals. Some popular ones are Sword, Dali Three Pagodas, Dunhuang Grottoes, Pretty Girls, Labyrinth, Golden Pagodas and Writing Brush etc. Yuanmou Earth Forest deserves to be called “another natural miracle in Yunnan”.

It contains a number of churches and tombs, most of them cut into the rock, which illustrate the very peak of Armenian medieval architecture and decorative art, with many innovatory features that had a profound influence on subsequent developments in the region. It was founded in the 4th century, according to tradition by St Gregory the Illuminator. The first monastery was destroyed by Arabs in the 9th century, but it was flourishing again by the 13th century. The monastery was famous because of the relics that it housed, the most celebrated the spear that wounded Christ on the Cross. Relics of the Apostles Andrew and John were donated in the 12th century and pious visitors made numerous grants of land, money, manuscripts and so on over the succeeding centuries. - in:</i> <a href="http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/960">http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/960</a></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> By <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01557220284631677939' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01557220284631677939' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Martinha</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2014/12/ru-3178486.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2014/12/ru-3178486.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2014-12-10T00:58:00Z'>00:58</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/7229267938375181840/1535564177221921852' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=7229267938375181840&postID=1535564177221921852' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Tags <a href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/search/label/Armenia' rel='tag'>Armenia</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Monday, December 8, 2014</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwNIZilordp8lCYddl_yQLt2BuCdt-n70rbNk5ultR8ruxW8RoBA3y3AOMQkqsugAwtA8VpLqJ5FMB_HksonCZQYNK9-4W8tGUfg4lsxKBkKJBq9m41yztbkgGK1DC5jA1elX_BgQDYWY/s1600/002+-+C%C3%B3pia+(2).jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='7229267938375181840' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='5648022723438904754' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='5648022723438904754'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2014/12/ru-3150747-ru-3150748.html'>RU-3150748</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-5648022723438904754' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> A lake from Russia. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwNIZilordp8lCYddl_yQLt2BuCdt-n70rbNk5ultR8ruxW8RoBA3y3AOMQkqsugAwtA8VpLqJ5FMB_HksonCZQYNK9-4W8tGUfg4lsxKBkKJBq9m41yztbkgGK1DC5jA1elX_BgQDYWY/s1600/002+-+C%C3%B3pia+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwNIZilordp8lCYddl_yQLt2BuCdt-n70rbNk5ultR8ruxW8RoBA3y3AOMQkqsugAwtA8VpLqJ5FMB_HksonCZQYNK9-4W8tGUfg4lsxKBkKJBq9m41yztbkgGK1DC5jA1elX_BgQDYWY/s1600/002+-+C%C3%B3pia+(2).jpg" width="277" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdPzMtIz-4BbJ7rCfM8PHkMHW9LDPb-lAqVxq4clLCX1sL96Xm8oizwhcx9-G5KpTEfOtYt6gmk8KUhydlfqjqR-5hzd2VM9mX4zKgS3k9E7juAGmx44XCYSHp8Hq1voyVdhyeqtR3iz5w/s1600/003+-+C%C3%B3pia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdPzMtIz-4BbJ7rCfM8PHkMHW9LDPb-lAqVxq4clLCX1sL96Xm8oizwhcx9-G5KpTEfOtYt6gmk8KUhydlfqjqR-5hzd2VM9mX4zKgS3k9E7juAGmx44XCYSHp8Hq1voyVdhyeqtR3iz5w/s1600/003+-+C%C3%B3pia.jpg" width="200" /></a></div> RU-3150748, sent by Lenka.<br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Kolyvan Lake is located at the Charysh valley in the Altai Mountains.

However, as soon as her Imperial predecessor was overthrown during a coup, carried out by the royal guards, Elizabeth decided to forget the whole idea of a stern monastic life and happily accepted the offer of the Russian throne.</i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>Smolny Cathedral’s stunning blue-and-white building is undoubtedly one of the architectural masterpieces of the Italian architect Rastrelli. </i>It was built between 1748 and 1764.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>When Elizabeth stepped down from the throne the funding that had supported the constructed of the convent rapidly ran out and Rastrelli was unable to build the huge bell-tower he had planned or finish the interior of the cathedral. The building was only finished 1835 with the addition of a neo-classical interior to suit the changed architectural tastes of the day. </i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>Today Smolny Cathedral is used primarily as a concert hall and the surrounding convent houses various offices and government institutions. - in:</i> <a href="http://www.saint-petersburg.com/virtual-tour/smolny-cathedral/">http://www.saint-petersburg.com/virtual-tour/smolny-cathedral/</a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB33K8nXCfaqcJk1irAFeAgkuM5kddl5jQNaPCouZ_O9Er2mpkeGkoT8oRYJOZBzpyk5ynYSzW3Ah1LmNs4JVRuUfi2MpAWUfuRa_viv-shGH7cYwEyB8HHzx6Jf5NJmX0faJEdCc3hrdk/s1600/004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB33K8nXCfaqcJk1irAFeAgkuM5kddl5jQNaPCouZ_O9Er2mpkeGkoT8oRYJOZBzpyk5ynYSzW3Ah1LmNs4JVRuUfi2MpAWUfuRa_viv-shGH7cYwEyB8HHzx6Jf5NJmX0faJEdCc3hrdk/s1600/004.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>This fairytale gothic church is one of St. Petersburg's most unusual and most delightful, although it is a little off the beaten track for most tourists. Located in the far south of the city, it was built under Catherine the Great as the house church for the Chesme Palace, a resting post between St. Petersburg and the Summer Palace in Tsarskoe Selo.</i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>The Chesme Church was consecrated in 1780, on the tenth anniversary of Russia's naval victory over the Turkish fleet at Chesme Bay, which occurred on the birthday of John the Baptist, hence the church's name.</i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>A wedding-cake structure with striped crenellated walls and five gothic turrets in place of traditional onion domes, this truly unique church has survived almost fully intact to this day, despite the fact that it was turned, along with the Chesme Palace, into part of a forced labour camp by the Soviet government - the cross on the central turret was replaced with a hammer, tongs and anvil to symbolize the toil of the proletariat. Just before the Second World War, the complex was given over to the Institute of Aviation Technology, which still occupies the palace to this day. </i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>Used as a burial site for war heroes almost since its consecration, the area around the church became a graveyard for soldiers who died during the Siege of Leningrad. In the 1970s, the church became a Museum of the Battle of Chesme, and was eventually returned to the Orthodox Church in 1990. It is now an extremely popular church, with regular services and numerous visitors who come to pay their respects to the war dead. - in:</i> <a href="http://www.saint-petersburg.com/churches/church-birth-saint-john-baptist-chesme.asp">http://www.saint-petersburg.com/churches/church-birth-saint-john-baptist-chesme.asp</a></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> By <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01557220284631677939' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01557220284631677939' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Martinha</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2014/12/st-petersburgs-churches.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2014/12/st-petersburgs-churches.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2014-12-07T11:57:00Z'>11:57</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/7229267938375181840/5761728294249488795' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=7229267938375181840&postID=5761728294249488795' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Tags <a href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/search/label/Russia' rel='tag'>Russia</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhyBijkWGqJ8DtRdqSBxTQUVpOCsjpxPSPMhCHns7Txb8x9Egh9j74wgVhxsisA14lwIghzZxyVf5kB-Z6vzK4g_I4D92I7ItCzLCZiT2m5PX00i2HaA5Cdylsg7cr7pkjwCRLOWhGwmQ/s1600/002.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='7229267938375181840' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='7093063652393147859' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='7093063652393147859'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2014/12/ua-1182066.html'>UA-1182066</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-7093063652393147859' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> Victoria sent me not one but two cards.
