Gatchina Palace
The House Where Nicholas II Grew Up.
Gatchina Palace, located about twenty-five miles from Saint Petersburg, was built by Catherine the Great for her favorite, Count Grigory Orlov. When Orlov died, Catherine bought the estate from his heirs and gave it to her son Paul. Gatchina would go on to become Paul's favorite residence. He arranged everything to his taste.
When Paul died, the Romanovs continued to use Gatchina. Nicholas I and his consort loved to hunt and relax at Gatchina. Alexander II liked to conduct state affairs while hunting at Gatchina. After the assassination of his father, his advisors told Alexander III that he would be safer at Gatchina than at the Winter Palace. Alexander III spent most of his life at Gatchina Palace. He signed decrees and held diplomatic receptions, theatrical performances, masquerades, costumed balls, and other events and entertainment. Alexander III introduced technological modernizations new to Russia at the Gatchina Palace, such as indoor heaters, electric lights, a telephone network, non-freezing water pipes, and a modern sewage system. His children, including the future Tsar Nicholas II, spent their youth at Gatchina Palace.
Alexander III and his family stayed in the Arsenal Wing; they did not inhabit the luxurious spaces used for official business; the rooms they used for daily life had low ceilings and were small. In December 1844, after the Court had spent two long autumn months in the Gatchina Palace, the Emperor signed a decree ordering to rebuild the Kitchen Wing. Reconstruction of the Arsenal Wing began in 1846.
Gatchina became famous for its paintings, sculptures, furniture, and fine china collection. Gatchina lost a large part of its treasure during the revolution and another part when the palace was looted and badly damaged by the Nazis during WWII. Restoration work on the palace's interiors continues to this day.

Our Lady of the Rocks is one of two islets off the coast of Perast in Montenegro's Bay of Kotor (the other being the island of Sveti Đorđe). It is an artificial island formed by a trench of rocks by sinking old and captured ships full of rocks. The Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Rocks (Italian: Chiesa della Madonna dello Scarpello) is the largest building on the islet; There is a museum attached. There is also a small gift shop near the church and a viewing lighthouse at the western end of the islet.
Our Lady of the Rocks هي واحدة من جزيرتين صغيرتين قبالة ساحل بيراست في خليج كوتور في مونتينيغرو (الجزيرة الأخرى هي جزيرة سفيتي جوري). إنها جزيرة اصطناعية تكونت من خندق من الصخور عن طريق غرق سفن قديمة ومليئة بالصخور. الكنيسة الرومانية الكاثوليكية لسيدة الصخور (بالإيطالية: Chiesa della Madonna dello Scarpello) هي أكبر مبنى في الجزيرة. يوجد متحف ملحق. يوجد أيضًا متجر هدايا صغير بالقرب من الكنيسة ومنارة مشاهدة في الطرف الغربي للجزيرة.
Our Lady of the Rocks, Karadağ'ın Kotor Körfezi'nde (diğeri Sveti Đorđe adasıdır) Perast sahilindeki iki adacıktan biridir.

Our Lady of the Rocks Roma Katolik Kilisesi (İtalyanca: Chiesa della Madonna dello Scarpello) adacıktaki en büyük yapıdır; Ekli bir müze var. Ayrıca kilisenin yanında küçük bir hediyelik eşya dükkanı ve adacığın batı ucunda bir seyir feneri bulunmaktadır.

Christ Church Burial Ground in Philadelphia, PA. (Oct. 2021)
This cemetery was beautiful, especially with the sunlight coming through the trees and the visible age of the gravestones. I annoyed my parents so bad by combing through every row of graves and taking so many pictures, taking my sweet time when they were hoping to go to dinner (sorry mom and dad, love you!). I hope to go back again someday soon.

Chemist's shop built in the 17th century in the Hospital de Santa Caterina in the city of Girona (Comarques Gironines, Catalonia).
The chemist's can be accessed from the old hospital's patio and consists of two 70 m2 rooms: the shop (photos 1-3) and the laboratory (photos 4-6).
The shop's ceiling is decorated with 19th century paintings that represent women picking fruits and medicinal herbs. Crossing the little door next to the counter, you access the laboratory, where they prepared the formula for the Hospital's ill people from the 17th century until the year 2004. Since 2004, the pharmacy is taken care of by Girona's Art Museum (Museu d'Art de Girona).
The chemist's also had a collection of 239 volumes written between the 17th and 20th centuries that were used as reference by the chemists who prepared the medicine. Nowadays, they are kept in the Administrative Archive of the Government of Catalonia in Girona, which is located inside the building of the old hospital.
