Metz, France - St Stephen's Cathedral
Saint-Étienne de Metz (French for "Saint-Stephen of Metz"), also known as Metz Cathedral, is a historic Roman Catholic cathedral in Metz, capital of Lorraine, France. Saint-Étienne de Metz is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metz and the seat of the Bishop of Metz, currently Pierre Raffin.The cathedral treasury exhibits the millennium rich collection of the Bishopric of Metz, including paraments and items used for the Eucharist.
Saint-Stephen of Metz has one of the highest naves in the world. The cathedral is nicknamed the Good Lord's Lantern (French: la Lanterne du Bon Dieu), displaying the largest expanse of stained glass in the world with 6,496 m2 (69,920 sq ft). Those stained glass windows include works by Gothic and Renaissance master glass makers Hermann von Münster, Theobald of Lixheim, and Valentin Bousch and romantic Charles-Laurent Maréchal, tachist Roger Bissière, cubist Jacques Villon, and modernist Marc Chagall.
Built between 1220 and 1552, it is the product of the unification of two distinct churches. With its 42 metre high vaults, it is one of the highest Gothic edifices in Europe. With its 6,500 m² of stained glass windows, the nickname “God’s lantern” is well merited. There are windows from the 13th to the 20th centuries by Hermann de Münster, Thiebault de Lixheim, Valentin Bousch, Jacques Villon and Marc Chagall. These masterpieces of the art of fire and light form a veritable encyclopaedia of the art of stained glass.
Architecture
Saint-Stephen Cathedral is a Rayonnant Gothic edifice built with the local yellow Jaumont limestone. Like in French Gothic architecture, the building is compact, with slight projection of the transepts and subsidiary chapels. However, it displays singular, distinctive characteristics in both its ground plan and architecture compared to most of the other cathedrals. Because of topography of Moselle valley in Metz, the common west-east axis of the ground plan could not be applied and the church is oriented north-northeast. Moreover, unlike the French and German Gothic cathedrals having three portals surmounted by a rose window and two large towers, Saint-Stephen of Metz has a single porch at its western facade. One enters laterally in the edifice by another portal placed at the south-western side of the narthex, declining the usual alignment of the entrance with the choir.
The nave is supported by flying buttresses and culminates at 41.41 metres (135.9 ft) high, making one of the highest naves in the world. The height of the nave is contrasted by the relatively low height of the aisles with 14.3 metres (47 ft) high, reinforcing the sensation of tallness of the nave. This feature permitted the architects to create large, tall expanses of stained glass. Through its history, Saint-Stephen Cathedral was subjected to architectural and ornamental modifications with successive additions of Neoclassical and Neogothic elements.
Construction history
The edification of Saint-Stephen of Metz took place on an Ancient site from the 5th century consecrated to Saint Stephen protomartyr. According to Gregory of Tours, the shrine of Saint Stephen was the sole structure spared during the sack of 451 by Attila's Huns. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1220 within the walls of an Ottonian basilica dating from the 10th century. The integration into the cathedral's ground plan of a Gothic chapel from the 12th century at the western end resulted in the absence of a main western portal; the south-western porch of the cathedral being the entrance of the former chapel. The work was completed around 1520 and the new cathedral was consecrated on 11 April 1552.
In 1755, French architect Jacques-François Blondel was awarded by the Royal Academy of Architecture to built a Neoclassical portal at the West end of the cathedral. He disengaged the cathedral's facade by razing an adjacent cloister and three attached churches and achieved the westwork in 1764.
In 1877, the Saint-Stephen of Metz was heavily damaged after a conflagration due to fireworks. After this incident, it was decided the refurbishment of the cathedral and its adornments within a Neogothic style. The western facade was completely rebuilt between 1898 and 1903; the Blondel's portal was demolished and a new Neogothic portal was added.

VW New Compact Coupe: Hints at Production Model Based on New Jettat
The German firm positions the NCC concept, which comes with a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain, between the not-for-North America Scirocco Coupe and the CC hardtop convertible.
Although it features the same length ( 4.54 meters or 178.5 inches) and width (1.78 meters or 70.1 inches) as the current Jetta, the NCC is two inches lower at 1.41 meters or 55.6 inches and has a three-inch longer wheelbase at 2.65 meters or 104.4 inches.
It also gets wider tracks at 1.53 meter or 61.2 inches at the front and 1.54 meter or 61.4 inches at the back.
The exterior styling of the NCC is fairly simple yet extremely elegant and brings to mind the Audi A5 Coupe, which isn't a bad thing. In fact, we must admit that we find the NCC's styling rather sleek.
With the exception of a few minor details like the mirrors and head/tail lamp crystals, the NCC's design is virtually production ready.
The same design philosophy is followed in the interior that features a 2+2 seat layout. Again, even though VW's designers added a few concept touches mainly in the trim department, the cabin looks ready to roll out of the factory.
Keep in mind that the NCC's exterior and interior styling also hints at the next-generation Jetta sedan.

A State of 90's - Lets meet again! 13-03-2010. Elkaar weer ontmoeten deden we zeker deze avond. Elkaar onderling en de crowd de artiesten en andersom. Er heerste een enorme energetische vibe in The Sand en we waanden ons weer terug in de beginjaren van de dance, waar de verschillende huidige stromingen zijn ontstaan. We hebben het hier over: A state of 90's. Met artiesten die als pioneers aan de wieg stonden van wat we nu als moderne en hedendaagse dancestromingen kennen. Wat te denken van Fierce Ruling Diva - Live, Miss Monica, Human Resource en Quadrophonia. De allergrootste klassiekers kwamen deze nacht voorbij. Deze heren en dame dj's zijn het draaien nog allerminst verleerd en gaan ook 20 jaar later nog steeds los. Net als generatiegenoten en de generatie na hen op de dansvloer. En iedereen danste tot dat hij/zij er bij neerviel. Wat een nacht in de Sand. Top gewoon! Respect aan de mannen van het geluid en het licht. Dat was dik in orde deze nacht. Misschien voor een volgende editie nog een paar vette lasers in de zaal hangen. Om het helemaal af te maken! Ook dank aan de organisatie voor het neerzetten van zo'n mooi feest. Deze set is mede tot stand gekomen met dank aan Michael. Dank gast, voor de vette foto's. Zijn foto's zijn de nummers: 228 t/m 330 van deze set. De nabewerking van de hele set heb ik verzorgd. Have fun met het checken en downloaden.
Check ook de tweetal aftermovies van het feest @ mijn YouTube channel:

Om het me dit weekend met 3 feesten, donderdag 11/03 Escape, vrijdag 12/03 Panama en zaterdag 13/03 Sand, makkelijk te maken en tijd te besparen, deze keer 100% natuurlijke foto's. Geen (storende) logo's in de foto's. Dus gewoon je eigen foto(s) of welke foto je maar wil snel en gemakkelijk downloaden in het formaat 15 x 10 cm! Maar ook wanneer er wel een logo in de foto is geplaatst bij sets, kun je altijd je mooiste foto(s) als herinnering aan een bijzondere avond/nacht bestellen bij mij. Stuur een mail naar: dutchpartypics@yahoo.com met het/de betreffende fotonummer(s). Daarna laat ik je de details weten waar je je Eurootje naar kunt overmaken. Daarna stuur ik je de high res. foto via de mail toe. Een fotootje in de maximale resolutie van 10 MP (3800 x 2500 pixels ongeveer) zonder logo dus, kost je maar een lousy Eurootje. En jij kunt daarna je favoriete partyfoto laten afdrukken op canvas bijvoorbeeld, in een afmeting van 100 x 67 cm. En dat ziet er erg strak uit kan ik je verzekeren. Heb er zelf ook eentje aan de muur hangen thuis. Dat kost je ongeveer 50 - 70 Euro. Of je geeft je afgedrukte foto als geschenk aan je liefje. Mogelijkheden zat te bedenken!
Dank nogmaals allen voor de mooie foto opportunities het afgelopen weekend. Respect aan de mensen van sound & vision in de Escape, Panama en Sand. Alle drie toplocaties, met topfeesten in een mooie stad: Amsterdam. Het was een mooi party-weekend, 11-12-13 maart 2010!

At a compact 2.5m x 2.5m we love this little garden office clad in Cedar, with a large picture window to the front to look out on the garden this space is both functional and a relaxing place to get some work done.
Scops owls are typical owls in family Strigidae belonging to the genus Otus and are restricted to the Old World. Otus is the largest genus of owls with 57 species. Scops owls are colored in various brownish hues, sometimes with a lighter underside and/or face, which helps to camouflage them against the bark of trees. Some are polymorphic, occurring in a greyish- and a reddish-brown morph. They are small and agile, with both sexes being compact in size and shape. Female scops owls are usually larger than males.
