I know it, but I don't have any more Pics to share😪

Maybe a hint for somebody else, it is a rather new building erected to glorify a ruthless tyrant.

[Dirk Van der Herten]

Correct.

Is this the mausoleum of Niazov, the president of Turkmenistan who died in 2006?

[Dirk Van der Herten]

Yes.

The structure in the foreground of the photo is one of the portals of the Gypjak Mosque.

You forgot to mention its location: Ashgabat.

Your turn now.

Thanks Dirk, yes I forgot, it's even a small village near Ashgabat: Gypjak.

Where can we find this sculpture by nature? It is part of a greater piece which has been given a name by the local population. This name, or a pretty close description of the place where we can find it, is asked.

Let's start with:  Japan?

[Dirk Van der Herten]

Yes.

Frank Lloyd Wright probably came here more than once.

[stuny]

I think it's Oya-ji Temple

[AZach]

The sign-post says so... 😊

[otto.f]

Who would expect that!

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[Dirk Van der Herten]

It's indeed the Oya temple (大谷, well seen), near Utsunomiya.

Frank Lloyd Wright chose Oya stone, quarried in the region, in his design of the original Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.

You deserved your usual portion of PM's, Stuart, your turn now.
