Die sechs Paare gefalteter Hände, die bis zu vier Meter über den Boden ragen, symbolisieren unsere Wünsche und sind Teil der Installation „Building Bridges“ des italienisch-amerikanischen Künstlers Lorenzo Quin, die die sechs universellen Werte der Menschheit feiert, nämlich Freundschaft, Glaube, Hilfe, Liebe, Hoffnung und Weisheit.
The six pairs of joined hands, rising up to four meters above the ground, symbolize our desires and are the installation Building Bridges by Italian-American artist Lorenzo Quin that celebrates the six universal values of humanity, namely, Friendship, Faith, Help, Love, Hope and Wisdom.
to stand together all in unity it's true
will bring peace and happiness to all hopefully
forgetting thoughts inherited maybe . . .
when we look all around, peaceful it should be
for life is precious, for all great and small
wherever you may come from . . .
how big or even small for life is a gift
to be cherished it's true
give peace a chance and hold hands
even light a candle please do

Building Bridges, an installation by Lorenzo Quinn consisting of six pairs of hands arching 50 feet over a waterway at the Arsenale former shipyard in Venice’s eastern Castello District. Made from white resin to mimic the white marble seen around Venice, the hands symbolize the need to build bridges and overcome differences.
Each pair is clasped in a different way to highlight six values, including friendship, hope, love, help, faith, and wisdom.
Die 1116.180 kam dann noch vor dem IC 649 von Salzburg nach Wien HBF zurück und wurde bei Pöndorf abgewartet. Erster Wagen hinter der Lok ist der ADbmpsz 73 81 81-91 012 - mit seiner roten Gepäckraumtür ein Unikat (25. Dezember 2015).
Amidst the wintry landscape, an old wooden bridge stretches its timeworn limbs over icy waters, a testament to resilience and connection. Each creak and groan tells a story of enduring countless seasons, facing the biting cold with stoic strength. This bridge, worn by the weight of footsteps that have crossed its planks over time, becomes a metaphor for the bridges we build in our lives. Just as this structure spans the icy waters, we, too, navigate the cold currents of circumstance and misunderstanding. Building bridges, whether metaphorical or tangible, is a reflection of our innate human capacity to connect, to transcend divides, and to forge pathways to understanding. In the delicate dance between vulnerability and fortitude, we construct bridges that carry the weight of shared experiences, fostering connections that sustain us through the icy waters of life.

St. Petersburg, divorced Bolsheokhtinsky bridge. Between its two divorced halves, the Smolny Cathedral is visible. In my opinion, the Bolsheokhtinsky Bridge is the most beautiful of the drawbridges in St. Petersburg. It gets divorced at about 2 am, after the Palace Bridge. The timetable for the opening of bridges can be found on the Internet. There are always a lot of spectators and photographers along the embankment.

I Am Neda
Leave the Basiji bullet in my heart,
fall to prayer in my blood,
and hush, father
--I am not dead.
More light than mass,
I flood through you,
breathe with your eyes,
stand in your shoes, on the rooftops,
in the streets, march with you
in the cities and villages of our country
shouting through you, with you.
I am Neda—thunder on your tongue.
-- Sholeh Wolpe

Am 25. Dezember 2015 beförderte die 1116.180 den IC 690 auf seiner Fahrt nach Villach HBF zwischen Flughafen Wien Bahnhof und Salzburg. Erstaunlicherweise trägt die Lok immer noch die Werbefolierung für den Eurovision Song Contest. Bei Köstendorf konnte der Zug bei für die Jahreszeit viel zu warmen Temperaturen aufgenommen werden.
It's that time of the year again and I am super excited! I live in Australia so I am up super early to watch the live broadcast of the first semi final (it's 4.30am here - so worth it!!). 😄
Do you follow Eurovision? Which country do you think will win?
I did have a Conchita Wurst tribute photo planned but it wouldn't work for me so I did this instead. Luna and Oliver should have represented Australia this year, don't you think? 😉
Where else can you find me?
Music from Le Chant des Sirènes.

“Humanity has never grown by creating barriers. It always grows when it opens up its borders and it welcomes new cultures,” Quinn told the Associated Press. “Venice is a testament to that. Venice opened routes to Asia, the Far East, with Marco Polo and the merchants of Venice. It has been a driving force of European growth always.”
Each pair of arms is clasped in a different way to highlight six values, including friendship, hope, love, help, faith, and wisdom.

The cliff edge creeps ever closer to this WW2 relic at Happisburgh - it must have been a very lonely posting in the winter of 1940.

Bridge Gallery which connects the two main parts of the Grade II* Listed Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, in the city centre of Birmingham, West Midlands.
There are now over 40 galleries to explore that display art, applied art, social history, archaeology and ethnography. The art gallery is famous for its Pre-Raphaelite paintings, which are part of the largest public Pre-Raphaelite collection in the world. It is also home of the Staffordshire Hoard, the largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold ever found, in its own dedicated gallery.
The Birmingham History collections feature prominently in the 'Birmingham: its people, its history' gallery, which covers the majority of the 3rd floor. There is also art and objects spanning seven centuries of European and World history and culture, this includes Greeks & Romans and Ancient Egypt.
In 1829, the Birmingham Society of Artists created a private exhibition building in New Street, Birmingham while the historical precedent for public education around that time produced the Factory Act 1833, the first instance of Government funding for education.
In 1864, the first public exhibition room was opened when the Society and other donors presented 64 pictures as well as the Sultanganj Buddha to Birmingham Council and these were housed in the Free Library building but, due to lack of space, the pictures had to move to Aston Hall. Joseph Nettlefold bequeathed twenty-five pictures by David Cox to Birmingham Art Gallery on the condition it opened on Sundays.
Jesse Collings, Mayor of Birmingham 1878–79, was responsible for free libraries in Birmingham and was the original proponent of the Birmingham Art Gallery. A £10,000 (£1.2 million in 2019) gift by Sir Richard and George Tangye started a new drive for an art gallery and, in 1885, following other donations and £40,000 (£5 million in 2019) from the council, the Prince of Wales officially opened the new gallery on Saturday 28 November 1885.
The Museum occupied an extended part of the Council House above the new offices of the municipal Gas Department. The building was designed by Yeoville Thomason. The metalwork for the new building (and adjoining Council House) was by the Birmingham firm of Hart, Son, Peard & Co. and extended to both the interior and exterior including the distinctive cast-iron columns in the main gallery space for the display of decorative art.
The lofty portico, surmounted by a pediment by Francis John Williamson, representing an allegory of Birmingham contributing to the fine arts, was together with the clock-tower considered the "most conspicuous features" of the exterior upon its opening. By 1900 the collection, especially its contemporary British holdings, was deemed by the Magazine of Art to be "one of the finest and handsomest" in Britain.
In 1913 suffragettes from the militant suffrage organisation the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) launched a spate of attacks on art galleries and museums in Britain. The attack at Birmingham Art Gallery on 9 June 1914 was carried out by Bertha Ryland, a 28 year old suffragette who had two earlier arrests for militant activities. Ryland used a butcher’s cleaver hidden in her blouse to hack at ‘Master Thornhill’, a painting by George Romney, causing £50 (£5,484 in 2019) worth of damage. She was arrested at the scene and identified from a note she left giving her name and address and protesting against the differential treatment of suffragette prisoners and Irish militants.
