To be honest, I can't remember which church in Venice it is. There is a smaller or larger place of worship on almost every corner or in every alley. And pretty much all of them are magnificent. So I enjoy the sight of what the artists have created! It's more than amazing and it makes you feel humble when you think about the simple means they used to achieve this.

A side view of this building here...

 

This sweeping, purpose-built structure on the Keele University campus is home to one of the most highly ranked medical schools in the United Kingdom — and bears the name of one of Britain's most distinguished physicians.

 

The Man Behind the Name

Sir David John Weatherall (9 March 1933 — 8 December 2018) was a British physician and researcher in molecular genetics, haematology, pathology and clinical medicine. After finishing medical school, David joined the Army for two years and was sent to Singapore, where he treated a young girl with the serious blood disease thalassaemia — an experience that sparked a lifelong dedication to researching the condition. He later became Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford — one of the most prestigious academic chairs in Britain — and founded the Institute of Molecular Medicine, which was renamed the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine upon his retirement in 2000.

 

In 2010 he was awarded the Lasker Award, the most significant US prize for medical research, being the only person outside America to receive it that year. He was knighted in 1987 and appointed Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire for his services to medicine in the 2017 Birthday Honours.

 

His Connection to Keele

Sir David joined Keele in 2002 as Chancellor and was invaluable in helping set up the new School of Medicine, particularly in recognising the importance of developing Primary Care research. In 2012, Keele University named this Medical School building in his honour.

 

The School Itself

Keele was awarded an undergraduate medical school in 2001 in partnership with Manchester University, with its own medical school finally opening in 2007 and the first cohort graduating in 2012. The school is ranked among the very best in the UK, placing ahead of several American Ivy League universities in global rankings. The building houses modern, purpose-built facilities including lecture theatres, seminar rooms, a first-class anatomy suite, multi-user laboratories and a fully equipped paramedic training ambulance.

 

Bonus Info

Keele University is one of the highest universities above sea level in the country (along with Bath). If you travel due east, you will not encounter higher ground until you reach the Ural Mountains in Russia.

The living proof of Vladimir's former greatness is the unique monument of antiquity - the Golden Gate. The gate was built in 1164 during the reign of Alexander Bogolyubsky In the old days, when the city was surrounded by thick walls and the Gate served as the main entrance to the city, a kind of Arc de Triomphe of the capital. It was from there that foreign ambassadors and distinguished guests entered the city, the warriors returned from military campaigns.

There, the people met the future Grand Princes, Alexander Nevsky and Dmitry Donskoy. The Golden Gate was built of white stone; its heavy oak sections were covered with gilded copper sheets.

У Владимирских Золотых ворот богатая история: она ведет начало с 12 века, когда князь Андрей Боголюбов перенес столицу из Суздаля во Владимир. Согласно преданию, с открытием в крепостной стене парадного въезда поспешили, и створки ворот упали, придавив несколько человек. Князь приказал поднять ворота и в отчаянии взмолился Богородице о спасении пострадавших горожан, и — о чудо! Все придавленные люди оказались целы и невредимы.

За многие века проездная арка подвергалась разрушениям, а ворота неоднократно выгорали в пожарах. Каждый раз въезд восстанавливали, а в 18 веке сделали его удобным для экипажа императрицы Екатерины II и соорудили надвратную церковь.

The Bai Harir ni Vav is located 15 km from the center of Ahmedabad city. This stepwell was built in 1499 under the supervision of Sultan Begada’s harem. It has steps down through five levels of carved stone columns leading to two small wells, which are now often dry. The depths are cool even on the hottest day, making it a fascinating and eerie place. Overflow channels at the top serve as a reminder of the times when water tables were much higher than today. Behind the stepwell, the 16th-century Dai Halima Mosque contains the mausoleum of a royal midwife, Halima, with elegant jali screens. This monument, off the beaten track, is one of the most soothing locations in the city. Persian and Sanskrit inscriptions on the walls tell the legends of the monument. According to the legend, Dhai Harir (also known as Bai Harir Sultani), a household lady of Mahmud Begada, commissioned this stepwell. She built a mosque alongside a small tomb, in which she was buried.

Puente romano en el pueblo medieval de Bagà

Palazzo Mezzanotte was built in 1932 to centralise all the market trading places which were spread allover Milan. The new Stock Exchange building fits in a complex urban project planned by the Architect Paolo Mezzanotte. It became an architectural symbol of Fascism. The original structure still maintains its impressive façade of 36 meters. The travertine blocks are combined with allegoric figures symbolising wealth and abundance designed by Leone Lodi e Gemignano Cibau. The sides of the building are adorned with a series of bricks and travertine blocks and an inscription plaque of marble stands out. It represents the Roman Ruins which were discovered during the excavation phase. The final result was a triumph of rationalism which also encompasses classical elements.

 

Palazzo Mezzanotte был построен в 1932 году, чтобы централизовать все рыночные торговые места, которые были распространены по всему Милану. Новое здание Биржи вписывается в комплексный городской проект, разработанный архитектором Паоло Мезанотте. Он стал архитектурным символом фашизма. Оригинальное сооружение до сих пор сохраняет свой впечатляющий фасад в 36 метров. Травертиновые блоки сочетаются с аллегорическими фигурами, символизирующими богатство и изобилие, разработанными Leone Lodi и Gemignano Cibau. Боковые стены здания украшены серией кирпичей и блоков травертина, а над ними возвышается надписная доска из мрамора. Он представляет собой римские руины, которые были обнаружены во время этапа раскопок. Конечным результатом стал триумф рационализма, который также включает в себя классические элементы.

It needs no description, probably every child knows it, the Eiffel Tower. It towers high above the city of Paris. The landmark par excellence. Have you ever imagined what the city would look like without it? There would be something missing.

Temple Island, Henley on Thames.

Temple Island is an eyot, about a mile and a half north and downstream of Henley-on-Thames. The downstream end of the island is the start of the Henley Royal Regatta course.

The building on the island is an ornamental temple, a folly constructed in 1771 and designed James Wyatt.

The photograph is a composite of several long exposure images to give an approximately 16-minute exposure.

 

At the intersection of legend, tradition, and history stands the Basilica di Sant'Eustorgio. The foundation of this 4th century basilica is built upon the spot where, according to tradition, the apostle Barnabas baptized the first Christians in Milan. Eustorgio I, the city bishop from 344 AD, had the church built to house the relics of the Three Kings; legend has it that the animals pulling the cart of relics reached the spot and refused to continue. It may also coincide with a cemetery of early Christians martyred prior to the Edict of Milan. Whatever lies beneath it, today the church is filled with works by Lombard artists from the 13th to the 15th centuries. The main attraction, however, is the Cappella Portinari next door, built in the mid-1400s, and the earliest true Renaissance work in the city. It is a striking combination of classical forms and typical Lombard fresco decoration, and houses the intricate Ark of St Peter Martyr.

 

Первая церковь на месте базилики Сант-Эусторджо была построена в IV в. и названа в честь епископа Евсторгия. Этот священник перенес в Милан из Константинополя мощи трех царей, принесших свои дары Иисусу Христу. Имеются сведения, что в 515 г. был построен новый храм, который после реконструкции в XI в. приобрел романские черты. В XII в. войска Священной Римской империи взяли Милан. Базилика Сант-Эусторджо была почти полностью разрушена, а Фридрих I Барбаросса увез мощи трех царей. По сей день они хранятся в Кёльнском соборе, лишь часть их была возвращена в миланский храм в 1903 г. В 1219 г. Доминик де Гусман направил в Ломбардию монахов основанного им нового католического ордена. С 1227 г. базилика Сант-Эусторджо официально являлась главным доминиканским храмом Милана. Члены ордена восстановили и расширили храм, пострадавший во время захвата города войсками Фридриха Барбароссы. В XIV-XV в.в. к базилике было пристроено несколько капелл, принадлежавших знатным семьям. Некоторые из них являются великолепными образцами искусства эпохи Ренессанса. В тот же период была построена и 75-метровая колокольня с арками и шатровой крышей в ломбардском стиле. Ее увенчала восьмиконечная звезда, напоминающая об украденных мощах трех царей. На колокольне были установлены башенные часы, первые в Италии.

Sivasubramania Swami Kovil

A tower made up of intricate carvings of small statues rises high a height of about 80 feet and looms over you as if to protect the sacred temple underneath This Hindu temple is known as the Arulmihu Sivasubramania Swami Kovil. This temple has a long history of about 125 years and was built to worship Lord Muruga, otherwise known as God Kataragama. This is of great importance to the Hindu people as well as the Buddhist people who are found travelling in great numbers to devoutly worship at the shrine of Kataragama on the south of the island.

The most outstanding sight is the tower known as raja gopuram. This tower was built in 1994 fully embellished with colourful statues of Hindu deities. It is also accompanied by two smaller towers and a clock house.

The construction of this tower was followed by a celebration called Kumbabishekam which is a traditional ceremony that is held after rehabilitation or a reconstruction of a temple.

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is one of the most famous Russian playwrights and one of the most screened prose writers because in his works more than 100 films have been shot.

Chekhov has purchased this property in January of 1900, as a place where he could escape from numerous visitors and guests of his Yalta house. Here he wrote the first act of the play Три сестры. While Anton Chekhov himself did not live in this house for extended periods of time, several members of his family did.Three rooms of the house are restored with contemporary furnishings. The exhibits are dedicated to Chekhov’s relationship with his wife, Olga Knipper, the play Three sisters, and the people that have surrounded him, his family and friends.

 

В 1898 году Чеховым А.П. был куплен участок в Гурзуфе. Это была татарская сакля с четырьмя комнатами, построенной прямо на берегу маленькой бухты за Пушкинской скалой (другое название — Подзорная труба). За все это и кусочек берега просили 3000 рублей. Это было дорого и, вознамерившись поторговаться, писатель пришел осмотреть место лично. Увидев такой красивый вид, оценив местоположение литератор пришел в восторг. Сделка тут же состоялась.

Позднее на нем был разбит ухоженный сад и построен небольшой уютный домик, проект которого разрабатывал Шаповалов Л.Н.

По завещанию писателя дача отошла его жене, О.Л. Книппер, которая жила там ежегодно в летние месяцы. В 1963 году дом перешел в ведение Союза художников СССР.

Восстановить дачу в том самом первоначальном виде, когда ее покупал писатель, предложил в 1987 году известный артист Олег Ефремов. Именно этот год считается годом открытия музея, как филиала чеховского дома-музея в Ялте. А с 2016 года он входит в структуру Крымского литературно-художественного мемориального музея-заповедника.

Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo is the largest church in Venice, even bigger than Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. The church’s name translated into English is “Basilica of Saint John and Paul”. It was established by the Dominicans and it took nearly one century to build. It was finally consecrated on 12 November 1430. The Doge Jacopo Tiepolo had a vision in which he was told that part of his swampland was to be dedicated to God’s preachers. Thus, he donated this part of his land to the Dominicans and it is where the church currently stands.

 

Земля для этой церкви была, так же как и для Фрари, представленна по приказу Дожа Якопо Тьеполо. Первая церковь здесь была построена в 983 году, но впервые документально упоминается в 1184 году. Доминиканцам дали землю около 1230 года, и их первая церковь была завершена в 13 веке. Вскоре она оказалась слишком маленькой. Однако, работа над гораздо большей церковью началась в начале 14 века. В 1430 был завершен неф, и церковь была освящена в 1458-62. Церковь так же называют "Венецианский Пантеон", так как в ней находятся двадцать пять гробниц дожей.

One of the most outstanding structures within the compound of Wat Phra Kaew is the Phra Si Rattana Chedi (Sri Lankan style), which enshrines relics of the Buddha.

 

This main Stupa was erected by King Rama IV in 1855 and regarded as the most sacred in the Royal Chapel. In the hollow interior is a smaller stupas containing sacred Buddha relics. King Rama V had the exterior covered with golden mosaic tiles imported from Italy. This stupa was built in imitation of one of the three stupas at Wat Phra Si Sanphet which was the Royal Chapel in the old capital of Ayutthaya.

Nuestra fugaz escapada de fin de semana para conocer la comarca de Tierra de Campos fue pasando mientras las horas raudas se iban consumiendo. La hora de regresar llegó dando fin a un finde intenso, 32 localizaciones publicadas (algunas se quedaron para mejor ocasión), tiempo tormentoso y mil recuerdos.

 

Pertenece a la orden de las Carmelitas Descalzas desde el siglo XVII. El paso de los años destruyó lo que fue una bella construcción barroca que aún mantiene en pie una bella portada y los restos de los que fueron sus muros.

The Voorlinden Museum in Wassenaar, The Netherlands. Desiged by Kraaijvanger Architects.

Este antiguo templo se abandonó construyendo uno nuevo dentro del núcleo, donde se llevaron las piedras nobles y los objetos de culto. Esta decisión parece tomada desde las incomodidades que creaba tener que desplazarse no poco trecho por un camino dificultoso. Con el cambio, lo que fue templo pasó a ser cementerio, condición que conserva actualmente.
