Alexschi - White.wine

Far over the Misty Mountains grim, To dungeons deep and caverns dim, We must away, ere break of day, To win our harps and gold from him!

Also I've just finished an interesting book called Skylines - A journey through 50 skylines of the world's greatest cities by Yolanda Zappaterra and Jan Fuscoe. I highly recommend it if you can get your hands on a copy. It is short read with some wonderful illustrations.

Looks really cool!

From the dizzy heights of the Dubai horizon to the ancient silhouette of Rome, Skylines features fifty of the most iconic, vibrant and often magnificent places from across the globe. This is your key to exploring the world through the architectural triumphs that make our cities famous.            

Beautiful and atmospheric illustrations accompany an introduction to these iconic vistas, summing up their spirit, history and location. Short histories of each place reveal threads that illuminate often well-trodden streets. This compilation is defined by the one-of-a-kind buildings – including fortresses, palaces, sacred sites, monuments, skyscrapers and cultural hotspots – that makes each one unique.
