Tensión y mucho frío antes de la carrera.

Baptisterium der Basilica cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta – „Kathedral-Basilika Mariä Himmelfahrt“ Padua

Sagenhafter Freskenzyklus, über 100 Bibelszenen zur Schöpfung und Apokalypse, die der Florentiner Maler Giusto de Menaboui von 1375-1378 schuf.

Die Menabuoi-Fresken, einer der bedeutendsten und besterhaltenen Gemäldezyklen des 14. Jahrhunderts, wurden unter der Signoria der Carraresi von Francesco I. da Carrara und seiner Frau Fina Buzzaccarini in Auftrag gegeben.

Die über hundert Bildfelder bedecken sämtliche Wandflächen und die Kuppel. Illustriert sind Szenen aus dem Evangelium, das erste und das letzte Buch der Bibel sowie das Leben Johannes des Täufers, des Patrons aller Baptisterien. Das Kuppelfresko zeigt Christus als Pantokrator, umringt von den Scharen der Engel und Vollendeten.

Das Baptisterium besteht aus einem würfelförmigen Unterbau und einer aufgesetzten Rotunde mit Flachkuppel. Nach Osten, zum Domplatz, weist die flach geschlossene Apsis, die ihrerseits eine kleine Kuppel trägt. Mehrere Reihen von Bogenfriesen mit Lisenen gliedern die Wandflächen. Es steht auf einem Vorgängerbau des 4. Jahrhunderts.

Baptistery of the Basilica cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta - "Cathedral-Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary" Padua

Legendary cycle of frescoes, over 100 biblical scenes of the Creation and the Apocalypse, created by the Florentine painter Giusto de Menaboui from 1375-1378.

The Menabuoi frescoes, one of the most important and best-preserved painting cycles of the 14th century, were commissioned by Francesco I da Carrara and his wife Fina Buzzaccarini under the Signoria of the Carraresi.

The more than one hundred panels cover all the wall surfaces and the dome. They illustrate scenes from the Gospel, the first and last books of the Bible and the life of John the Baptist, the patron saint of all baptisteries. The dome fresco depicts Christ as Pantocrator, surrounded by the hosts of angels and the perfected.

The baptistery consists of a cube-shaped substructure and an attached rotunda with a flat dome. The flat, closed apse, which in turn supports a small dome, faces east towards the cathedral square. Several rows of arched friezes with pilaster strips structure the wall surfaces. It stands on a predecessor building from the 4th century.

Kapelmuur - mini tripod / timer

Taken at dusk on the Forth Road Bridge. Tambo had texted me to suggest we hit the bridges for a sunset however, he has a detrimental influence on the weather, suffice to say, the clouds rolled in to obscure the sunset forcing us to shoot car trails.

The night was a bit of an anti climax, I guess the curse of Tambo struck again lol

Another exciting excursion to the World Cup Track Cycling Championships.

We arrived at our final destination, Nice. We rode the actual "Route des Grandes Alpes", from Thonon-les-Bains, through Cluses, Les Saisies, Beaufort, Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Val-d'Isère, Col de L'Iseran, Col du Glibber, Cold du Lautaret, Briançon, Col d'izoard, Barcelonnette, Col de Cayolle, and finally to Nice.

I rode 1,000km, and climbed over 30,000metres, or 98,000 feet. That is like climbing three full Everest. A challenging, but fantastic trip.

This is Place Messéna in Nice, a large square in the centre of old Nice. If you are wondering what this buddha looking statue is doing there, it's one of seven, and part of a permanent monumental art display on the Place, and represents the seven continents.

I passed 7500 miles for the year today in misty rain that came in waves. At 7520 miles I hold a 290 advantage over last year's effort. As usual, weather will be the main factor in the final result.

Last year I ended up at 8437 miles on December 31.

A nice show of Poppies on the cycle path yesterday.

Cycling down the street that crosses the main street, balancing food, is a massive achievement, dodging crowds, tourists, cars, other cyclists and getting the box there the right way up is blue medal ribbon worthy indeed.
