Matheson Hammock Park is a 630 acres urban park in metropolitan Miami at 9610 Old Cutler Road, just south of Coral Gables, Florida. The park surrounds the north and western ends of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.
Matheson Hammock opened in 1930 as the first county park of Dade County, a gift of 80 acres to the county from William J. Matheson. Originally administered by the county's first director of public parks, A. D. Barnes, and designed by the landscape architect William Lyman Phillips, today it is owned and managed by Miami-Dade County.
Matheson wanted the land to be used as a park "to preserve the wild and natural beauty." It grew with further donations by the Matheson heirs, purchases by county commissioner Charles Crandon, and other donations to its current 630 acres. Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) crews were assigned to Matheson Hammock in 1936 and began to develop the Bayfront park area. Coral stone buildings rose and the picnic area had a coral stone shelter.
Without the use of the inexpensive and skilled labor force under the state and federal assistance programs, it would have been impossible to build the miles of carefully hewn coral-stone walls and native stone buildings. The quality of the CCC's work was verified in 1945 when a hurricane resulted in 12-foot waves rolling over Matheson Hammock, causing immense damage to equipment and furnishings, and depositing layers of mud and trash in the park, but the basic CCC structures stood firm and the park recovered.
(The Civilian Conservation Corps-built structures have served as a gateway for Texans' interactions with the outdoors for decades. Though many visitors might not give a second thought to a park's architecture, the CCC buildings are the product of an architectural vision of people and nature and how they interact.)

Foto tomada, desde las escaleras de la iglesia de San Miguel Arcángel. A medida, que iba acabando el día, la luz, empezaba a filtrarse, por las calles del casco viejo. En la imagen, casi en el centro se aprecia, el monumento a la batalla de Vitoria, construido en 1917.

It was almost two years ago when i was for a couple of days in Kuwait city.

La iglesia, se encuentra en el centro de la ciudad. Tiene un interior, precioso y rodeado por una galería de madera, típicas de las iglesias vasco-francesas. En el centro, cuelga un barco, en referencia a la unida, que esta la actividad marítima a esta ciudad. En esta misma iglesia, se casaron en 1660 Luis XIV y María Teresa de Austria.

El nucli central, així com l'element més antic del Palau de la Generalitat, es la Galeria Gòtica. Fou el palau gotic de Pere Brunet, comprat per la Generalitat per a establir's-hi just el 1400. És una icona del gotic civil català. Sempre m'ha meravellat la increible finesa d'aquestes columnes.
Per el Sant Jordi de 2022, el primer normal des del Covid19, varem anar a visitar el Palau de la Generalitat.

======================
The Galeria Gòtica (the gothic gallery) is the center and the oldest part of the Palau de la Generalitat. It's also the most impressive architectonic element, icon of the Catalan gothic style, in a civilian buiding. I've always marveled at the finesse of these columns, yet how they support the walls...
In Sant Jordi day (the patron saint of Catalonia) we went to visit the see of the Government of Catalonia, el Palau de la Generalitat, in Barcelona. It's an impressive mostly medieval building. As was typical of the times, it's not a purpose-built structure but a collection of re-used gothic palaces, that grew with the history of Catalonia.
