Welcome to the collection of images dedicated to pyramids — unique architectural and natural formations that represent polyhedral shapes with a polygonal base and triangular faces converging at a single point — the apex. Pyramids are found both in the ancient architecture of various cultures and in natural geological formations.

In an artificial context, pyramids can serve as tombs, religious structures, monuments, and symbols of civilizations. They are often characterized by graceful geometry with a clearly defined base and faces that may have various numbers of sides, the most well-known form being the square pyramid. Depending on historical and regional context, pyramids can vary in height, base size, and construction materials — from stone blocks to modern composite materials.

Natural pyramids are formed under the influence of erosion, wind, and water flows, creating mountain-like structures with pointed shapes or conical outlines. Such formations can be found in mountain systems, deserts, coastal areas, and other landscapes. Their surfaces may be covered with sedimentary rocks, vegetation, or ice deposits.

Pyramids, as subjects for photography and research, provide opportunities to study geometric proportions, ancient construction techniques, as well as natural processes of landscape formation. Visual images of pyramids include diverse landscapes — from desert plains and rocky massifs to urbanized zones with architectural monuments. Photographs may capture not only the pyramids themselves but also their surrounding elements — steps, arches, terrain, vegetation, and atmospheric phenomena that change depending on the season and weather.
