Felicidad a las personas auténticas, a las que se atreven, a las que dicen que sienten, a las que viven el ahora, a las intensas, a las que vibran alto, a las que osan amar sin condición.
Felicidad porque de ellas depende la energía capaz de transformar el mundo.

Conocida también como Iglesia de Nuestra Señora, este edificio sagrado construido en estilo gótico tardío tiene más de 700 años de historia, en los que ha sido escenario de muchas coronaciones y de dos bodas reales.
SETÚBAL (Portugal): Portal norte da Igreja de São Julião.
Da primitiva igreja dedicada a S. Gião ou Julião, datada da segunda metade do século XIII e atribuída pela tradição ao empenho dos pescadores locais (PORTELA, M. Maria, 1882), apenas se sabe que esteve ligada através de uma tribuna aos paços contíguos de D. Jorge de Lencastre, Duque de Aveiro e Coimbra e Mestre da Ordem de Santiago, funcionando quase como sua capela privativa, até c. 1510. Em 1513 determina D. Manuel a ampliação desta igreja, bem como da igreja de Santa Maria da Graça, ambas paroquiais, obra a ser paga em parte pela população local, embora no caso presente o Mestre de Santiago tenha contribuído com 500$000 réis para os trabalhos.
A ampliação veio a revelar-se de facto uma reconstrução total, não sem terem surgido vários imprevistos: durante os trabalhos deu-se a derrocada de uma nave, e houve necessidade de rebaixar outra (SILVA, J. Custódio Vieira, 1990, p. 70). O templo manuelino assim erguido sofreu por sua vez os efeitos do terramoto de 1531, não completamente conhecidos, mas que terão conduzido à segunda reconstrução do edifício, terminada por volta de 1570; alterada já boa parte da sua feição original, veio ainda a conhecer nova e extensa destruição aquando do cataclismo de 1755. É já no reinado de D. Maria que a igreja é reconstruída, pouco conservando hoje do templo quinhentista, à excepção dos dois portais manuelinos (o principal, a Ocidente, e o portal Norte), bem como a estreita porta que dá acesso à torre sineira.

The elegant Midland Railway arches and canopy that define Hellifield Station help frame DB Shed no. 66156 as it slowly approaches with the 07.02 Mossend Yard - Clitheroe Castle Cement (4M00).
It was my first visit in 40 years and good to see this 1880 built structure in such fine fettle ...... even if the platform needed a bit of weeding! Sadly we'd already eaten, otherwise the "Fireman's Breakfast" on offer at the station cafe would surely have been taken up.

Rustic old wall with portal window and sconces on a quiet medieval street in the historic center of old Catania, Italy.
With its construction beginning in 1881, it was being built for prince Semyon Vorontsov based on the blueprints of a talented architect Etienne Bouchard. Bouchard had planned an original building in the style of French castles at the time of Louis XIII. The palace was even called a ‘Little Versailles.’ The construction was stopped, however, only a year in because of the prince’s death.
Construction resumed only in 1889, when the family of Russian emperor Alexander III purchased the building. Architect Maximilian Mesmaher maintained the size and general style of the building, but he substantially changed its look with new decorations; in effect, he transformed a knight’s castle into a wonderful palace.
In Soviet times, the castle was turned into a sanatorium called ‘Proletarian Health,’ used by those who were seriously ill with tuberculosis. In post-WWII years, it became officials’ summer residence: Stalin, Khrushchev, and Brezhnev all stayed here. Only in 1992, a museum dedicated to Alexander III was created on the first two floors. In its collection there are many unique items: chandeliers, a fireplace of brown marble, mahogany furniture, mirrors, and more.
Здание имеет весьма необычную архитектуру — внешне он напоминает и замок, и терем одновременно, при этом такое сочетание выглядит весьма гармоничным. Первый владелец участка в Верхней Массандре — князь М.С. Воронцов — планировал выстроить дворец, который стал бы воплощением стиля короля Людовика ХIII, и обязательно с двумя круглыми башнями. Проект был заказан французскому архитектору Этьену Бушару, однако, тому дворцу было не суждено существовать — всего через год после начала строительства Воронцов скончался, и работы были прекращены.
Спустя семь лет недостроенный особняк приобрел Александр III, нанятый им архитектор Месмахер не стал переделывать проект, он лишь внес корректировки, добавив балконы, скульптуры, террасы и разные декоративные элементы, отчего строгий замок обрел ореол романтики. Строительство было завершено в 1902 году и, хотя императорская семья больше любила Ливадийский дворец, Массандровское имение тоже не оставалось забытым.
После революции и до Великой Отечественной войны здесь располагался санаторий для больных туберкулезом, а в послевоенные годы тут проводило отпуска руководство страны. В 1992 году в Массандровском дворце открылся музей династии Романовых, и теперь его могут посетить все желающие.
The castle is mentioned for the first time in a 1053 document as Castellum Ava. In the 12th century it was owned by the Castelbarco family, who ceded it to the Republic of Venice in 1411. The latter enlarged it and added a chapel dedicated to St. George, together with a façade showing the doge's coats of arms. In 1509 the castle was conquered by the troops of Maximilian I of Austria who, after painting his insignia on the façade, gave it to the counts of Arco. After several changes of property, in the 17th century the counts of Castelbarco bought it back.
Первые исторические источники, которые говорят о крепости, построенной на этом месте, как Castellum Ava, датируются 1053. В двенадцатом веке владельцы принадлежали к семейству Castelbarco, вассалы епископа Тренто, который в 1411 году, продал его Венециани. После смены владельца замок Кастелло ди Авио был расширен и украшен часовней в честь Сан-Микеле, а также фасадом с гербами их дожей. В 1509 году замок перешел в руки императорских войск Максимилиана I.который после того, как нарисовал свой собственный геральдический знак, заложил его графам Арко.
Linno Gu or Bat Cave is home to hundreds of thousands of bats. At the time of sunset, they come in big groups to hunt in the night. The cloud of bats which floods across the Thanlwin river is quite unique and impressive. It is estimated that normally more than 100,000 bats leave the cave every night.

After two years of pandemic and many photos of nature, landscapes, mountains, etc., it was a relief to once again get structures made of steel and glass in front of the lens.
The Circle at Zurich Airport is far from being able to compare with big cities. But for once it was not mountains made of stone, but man-made buildings.
What a relief! :-)
Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!
The Palace of the Winds is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of Rajput architecture in India. It is adorned with 953 windows. These were designed to enable the ladies of the royal court to watch street theatre unobserved, hidden behind the delicate latticework. Also known as the Hawa Mahal, the palace was built in 1799 for Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh as part of the women's quarters of the expansive City Palace complex in the heart of Jaipur. The street-facing façade is essentially an enormous screened porch, only one room deep in most places. In 1876, Jaipur was preparing for the visit of the Prince of Wales. To welcome him with warmth and grandeur, Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II ordered the entire city to be painted terracotta pink — a colour symbolizing hospitality and friendliness in Rajput culture — earning Jaipur its nickname of 'The Pink City'.
