SPILIMBERGO
LA CHIESETTA DELL'ANCONA
Scendendo dalla Piazza del Duomo verso il Tagliamento, si trova a metà costa, la Chiesetta dell’Ancona.
Il titolo originario della chiesa, legato alla tradizione, è quella di Santa Sabbata (santa Sabida), una santa inesistente riconducibile a culti precristiani, legati ai corsi dei fiumi. Già nel 1597, però, l'Ancona viene dedicata alla Madonna della Mercede (venerata il 24 settembre) pregata come protettrice dalle insidie del guado del Tagliamento.
Oggi la chiesa, molto semplice e sobria, poggia su una pianta regolare e si presenta con un'unica aula. Esternamente è possibile ammirare un grazioso portichetto sorretto da cinque colonne e a metà dei lato sinistro si innalza il campanile. All'interno si trova un altare in marmi policromi e un affresco di fine Quattrocento raffigurante la Madonna con Bambino e due angíoletti.
In questo luogo si incontravano dunque mercanti e pellegrini, poiché sorgeva su un passaggio obbligato per attraversare il guado del Tagliamento, dopo aver pagato un dazio, raggiungere poi Gemona, Venzone e proseguire verso le Germanie.
Per coloro che entravano a Spilimbergo attraversato il guado, era il tempio dove pregare la Madonna per la protezione accordata e lo scampo dai pericoli, allora frequenti: perdita dei carico, ferite, annegamenti.
E' per questo motivo che qui venivano deposti gli ex voto, tavolette dipinte di gusto popolare, forma di ringraziamento e di devozione (ora raccolti e conservati nell'archivio parrocchiale).
Era dunque un punto d'incontro, di scambi commerciali e di preghiera.
Nel 1687 l'Ancona venne ampliata con una loggia, al fine di ospitare il numero sempre più grande di fedeli, che si riunivano.
Successivamente venne restaurata e ampliata più volte fino al 1968, quando venne inaugurata; nel 1976 venne distrutta dal terremoto e finalmente nel 1978 riacquistò l'antico splendore.
Per la sua bellezza e la sua posizione panoramica sul Tagliamento, l'Ancona è per antonomasia considerata a livello locale la chiesetta degli innamorati.
... for a happy weekend !

Calgary - Alberta
Canada
Designed by Santiago Calatrava
The bridge was built by The City of Calgary to connect the southern Bow River pathway and Downtown Calgary with the northern Bow River pathway and the community of Sunnyside. This connection was designed to accommodate the increasing number of people commuting to and from work and those utilizing Calgary's pathways.
I was fascinated by the Peace Bridge and because my hotel was right behind the Shaw building I could go there anytime I wanted...:-))

... for a better future of beautiful People of Myanmar.
Picture taken during on the pilgrimage path to The Golden Rock Pagoda. Karen State, Myanmar.
Der Bau der Uppatasanti-Pagode begann am 12. November 2006 mit der Pfahlzeremonie und wurde im März 2009 unter der Leitung von Than Shwe , dem Leiter des regierenden staatlichen Friedens- und Entwicklungsrates in Birma, abgeschlossen . Die Einladungskarte für die Pfahlzeremonie wurde mit dem Satz "Rajahtani Naypyidaw" (die königliche Hauptstadt, in der der Präsident wohnt) eröffnet. Die Pagode ist 30 cm kürzer als die Shwedagon-Pagode .
"Uppātasanti" bedeutet grob "Schutz vor Unglück". Es ist der Name eines Sūtra , der im frühen 16. Jahrhundert von einem Mönch hergestellt wurde. Es ist in Krisenzeiten zu rezitieren, insbesondere angesichts der ausländischen Invasion.
Uppātasanti Pagoda ; also called the "Peace Pagoda is a prominent landmark in Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar. The pagoda houses a Buddha tooth relic from China. It is nearly a same-sized replica of Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon and stands 99 metres (325 ft) tall.
This is the old building at the edge of Benmore Gardens. Currently it houses the administrative offices and the art gallery.
Also called the Drei Zinnen as up until 1919, they formed part of the border between Italy and Austria. There are many reasons this is a very popular hike around the three peaks reaching 2,999 metres at the highest point.

La nebbia che tutto confonde
ora svela
ora nasconde...
The fog that blurs everything
now reveals
now hides something...
it should be autumn.. it's hot.
and then it's not.
a cool rush....
clouds brushing the hills
and suddenly
straight into the weather
this bird.

pretty much as was
with extra somethings in another layer ;-)
Taken in the Northeast side of Tasamania, Australia. The coast is lined with red lichen, giving it this striking appearance.
Bucephalus and Alexander were inseparable; only Alexander could ride him, and indeed he did, into every battle from the conquest of the Greek city-states and Thebes through the Battle of Gaugamela and into India.
Although historians disagree on the cause of the horse's death - some claim he died from battle wounds - most agree he died of old age after the Battle of Hydaspes River (326 BCE… battle illustrated above).
Alexander founded a city in his beloved horse's memory and named it Bucephala. It is also interesting that Alexander built another city after his favorite dog Peritas.

With its long legs, long neck, smallish head, and long upturned bill, the American Avocet presents a very elegant image.
There were a large number of avocets at Merritt Island NWR, but this one was off by itself for a stroll across the marsh lake. In breeding season his white head and neck will become a rusty color.
