- Within an ultra modern society Japan still maintains to hold traditions passed down from generation to generation making it one of the most beautiful and intriguing places in the world. The city of Gion in Kyoto is one of those places that you will walk into and forget about all the flashing lights the rest of Japan has to offer. Its brick paved streets holds some buildings that have been maintained like the old traditional Japan. If your lucky you will catch a glimpse of a beautiful geisha passing through the streets scurrying to her next appointment, make sure you have your camera ready

- Amiens cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for the 13th century Gothic sculptures. While most of the sculptures are in a very good condition, one located at the west portal of the cathedral required to be restrained for in-situ restoration work. The conspicous nature of the restraint is amplified by the body-language of the surrounding statues.
