The gothic cathedral of Clermont-Ferrand is made of black lava rock, making it stand out for its color.

my favorite 

[nobrashfestivity]

Katsushika Hokusai, 神奈川沖浪裏  The Great Wave off Kanagawa, 1830-1832

from the series  Thirty-six Views of Mt.Fuji 

An extremely rare strike that has not been sun-damaged to the  extent that most of the surviving prints have been. What’s exceptional here is that it shows the original pink sky,less faded,  not seen in almost any other versions. This is the way that Hokusai intended it to look and it brings a lovely cast, helping to complete our vision of an already iconic image.

The entire series can be seen Here  and  Here and Here and Here

I kind of obsess how the pink sky here makes this so beautiful and almost no prints of it show it at all
