Tokyo

Tokyo officially Tokyo Metropolis is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan and located on the eastern side of the main island Honshū.The twenty-three special wards of Tokyo, each governed as a city, cover the area that was once the city of Tokyo in the eastern part of the prefecture, and total over 8 million people. The population of the prefecture exceeds 12 million.
Tokyo was originally known as Edo, meaning estuary.Its name was changed to Tokyo when it became the de facto imperial capital in 1868. During the early Meiji period, the city was also called "Tōkei", an alternative pronunciation for the same Chinese characters representing "Tokyo". Some surviving official English documents use the spelling "Tokei". This pronunciation is now obsolete.
Tokyo lies in the humid subtropical climate zone with hot humid summers and generally mild winters with cool spells. Annual rainfall averages 1,380 mm , with a wetter summer and a drier winter. Snowfall is sporadic, but does occur almost annually. Tokyo is an example of an urban heat island; the city's population is a significant contributor to its climate.Tokyo has been cited as a "convincing example of the relationship between urban growth and climate". Tokyo also often sees typhoons each year, though few are strong. The last one to hit was Fitow in 2007.Tokyo was hit by powerful earthquakes in 1703, 1782, 1812, 1855 and 1923.The 1923 earthquake, with an estimated magnitude of 8.3, killed 142,000 people

The Empire State Building- New York

The Empire State building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in New York. Its name is derived from the nickname for the state of New York. It stood as the world’s tallest building for more than forty years. The Empire State was designed by Gregory Johnson and his architectural firm shareve, Lamb and Harmon, which produced the building drawings in just two weeks, possibly using its earlier design. The Empire State was build between 1931 and 1971.

The 102nd floor was originally a landing platform with a dirigible gangplank. A particular elevator traveling between the 86th and 102nd floors was supposed to transport passengers after they checked in the observation deck on the 86th floor. However, the idea proved to be impractical and dangerous after a few attempts with airships, due to the powerful updraft caused by the size of the building itself.

The Empire State building remained the tallest skyscraper in the world for 41 years, and stood as the world’s tallest manmade structure for 23 years. With the destruction of the world Trade Center in the September 11, 2001 attacks, it became the tallest building in New York City and the second tallest building in the United States.

The Empire state building rises to 1250 feet (381m) at the 102nd floor, and including the203 foot pinnacle, its full height reaches 1453 feet and 8 9/16th inches (443m). It has 85 stories of commercial and office space (2158000) and an indoor and outdoor observation deck on the 86th floor. A top the tower is the 303 foot pinnacle, much of which is covered by broadcast antennas, with a lightning rod at the very top. The Empire State building is the first buildings to have more than 100 floors.

A panoramic view of New York City from the 86th floor observation deck of the Empire State building. New York City is the largest media market in the United State. The Empire State Building is frequently depicted in many forms of popular culture, including films, television shows, video games, and fiction novels.

Blue Mosque, Istanbul

The Blue Mosque is one of the most beautiful buildings of Istanbul.The Blue Mosque was founded by Sultan Ahmet I. He ordered Architect Mehmed Aga as his architech. It is made from 1609 to 1616. The location of the mosque is opposite of the Church of Hagia Sophia as it is trying to compete with it. That is actually true because Architect Mehmed wanted to construct a bigger dome then Hagia Sophia's but he could not succeed.

There is an interesting story of the mosque; according to it, Sultan Ahmet I wanted to have a minaret made of gold which is "altin" in Turkish. The architect misunderstood him as "alti" which means "six" in English. However, when the architect was shivering as "am I going to be beheaded?", the Sultan Ahmed I liked the minarets so much. Prior to that time, no sultan had a mosque with 6 minarets.

The building is nearly a square and covered with a dome of 23.5 m.(77 feet) in diameter and 43m(140 feet) high. There are four colossal standing colums of 5m. in diameter(16.3 feet) which give the basic support to the building. The mosque has 260 windows which let the sunlight diffuse into the building quite nicely. They were filled with stained-glass in early 17C but they were restored later. The pulpit and nave is worth seeing, made of marble and original. The Imam(priest) goes on the pulpit every Friday on the sacred day of the Muslims but he never climbs to the very top as a respect to Prophet Muhammed. Everybody should turn their face to the south when praying, because Mecca( Saudi Arabia) is located in South.
