The Bryce Amphitheatre area is the most visited section of Bryce Canyon National Park in the USA. The Inspiration Point offers visitors excellent viewpoint to see the amphitheatre from above. This photograph was taken in the morning, with the sun illuminating the hoodoos from the side. One may discern some of the hoodoos in the background looking like tulip flowers.
Best wishes for a great weekend.

Steel Magnolias of Santa Gemita - 061821 - BW-2
I got pretty close to this land monitor (varanus bengalensis) and could see that it was tearing at the ground, presumably seeking a meal. Unfortunately, I couldn't discern just what it was feeding on. That said, these animals will eat almost anything so it could have been grubbing for insects or small vertebrates. Photographed in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka.
Taken near Ladner, British Columbia, Canada.
A dull foggy morning made this little chatterer barely discernible in the wild rose bushes at the edge of the salt marshes. If it had not been for the racket its relatives were making, (there was a family group of five wrens) I would have passed over this bird altogether.

According to the philosopher Zygmunt Bauman, liquid modernity refers to a fluidity that, far from leading us to a "lighter" living, it sends the weight of concreteness away, but doesn't give the counterpart. Where everything is fluid, transitory and without reference, everything "depends on context" and the solid bases to support us are no longer found. In order not to drown, one must learn to discern. Or we'll follow the fate of Sisyphus until the death of everything that exists.
On a des vues magnifiques sur les environs lorsqu'on est en haut du Mont-Saint-Michel.
Ici, on découvre la campagne environnante , Normandie à gauche, Bretagne à droite. Le Couesnon, au centre, marque la limite historique entre la Normandie et la Bretagne.
On distingue clairement un pont sur le Couesnon. Il s'agit du nouveau barrage qui a été construit récemment afin d'éviter l'ensablement du Mont Saint-Michel et lui rendre son insularité lors des jours de Grandes marées.

The mouth of the Couesnon river
We can see gorgeous views of the surroundings when you are at the top of Mont Saint-Michel.
Here we discover the surrounding countryside, on the left Normandy and on the right Brittany. The Couesnon river in the center marks the historical limit between Normandy and Brittany.
We clearly discern a bridge over the Couesnon river. This is the new dam which has been recently built to prevent silting of Mont Saint-Michel and restore its insularity at Large tides days

This night photograph was taken last week at Nanjing Xuan Wu Lake.
The area has been under small drizzles periodically during the day and there was slight breeze disturbing part of the Lake. This long exposure photograph captured the Ming Dynasty Wall which was illuminated for night visitors.
The trees that lined in front of the Wall and the lights were reflected in the Lake. The outlines of some high-rise buildings outside the Wall could vaguely be discerned.
Best wishes for a relaxing Sunday!
Only just discernible in the far distance is Mynydd Mawr, also affectionately known as Elephant Mountain. You can perhaps see from its faint silhouette how it got the nickname.
... La notte per molti è un tempo di riposo, di solitudine e intimità, di riordino degli eventi del giorno trascorso e di preparazione dell'inatteso del giorno venturo... Ma non possiamo dimenticare che la notte per alcuni significa anche fatica e maledizione : fatica per chi deve vegliare e lavorare per gli altri... Ma anche maledizione per chi nella notte conosce gli incubi, i fantasmi, i sensi di colpa... Vi è poi la notte dei malati,, dei sofferenti, che nella solitudine e nell'oscurità patiscono di più...
Forse è per sfidare la notte, per combatterla, che i monaci si alzano nelle ore più buie... Come si legge nei Salmi cercano di "svegliare l'aurora", di accelerare il sorgere del sole per affrontare la vittoria della luce sulle tenebre. Affrontare il buio, combattere le tenebre, discernere la luce: questa è l'indispensabile arte della veglia che pochi conoscono...
Questa è l'attesa di chi sa che vale la pena sperare per tutti, di chi accetta nella pace che "presto verrà la notte"h;, sì anche la propria notte, ma che intanto la vita è già qui ed ora, una vita i cui frutti più belli, perché più umani e più amati, non avranno fine....

So I caved and bought a Lensbaby (just a used one very cheap). So here is an image of my Bradford Pear blossoms from my first shoot. I immediately discerned that it had a pretty steep learning curve. I know it's a controversial lens, but I don't care. It was so fun and I can see places where it will fit into my shooting very nicely.
PS ignore the exif...I forgot to change the info on a non-CPU lens.
It is worth taking an extra minute to view in Large!
"Maybe it's the grand scale. Maybe it's the gold. But when re-assessing The Kiss for Klimt’s 150th birthday, journalist Adrian Brijbassi wrote, "The Kissby Gustav Klimt surpasses expectations," unlike that tiny and underwhelming Mona Lisa.
After throwing shade on the more famous painting, Brijbassi explained, "[The Kiss] does what a great piece of art is supposed to do: Hold your gaze, make you admire its aesthetic qualities while trying to discern what’s beyond its superficial aspects."
Take that, Mona." mental floss

Rosas de Santa Gemita - 031121-8
Songs that play by themselves in my head
Playbacks of performances in my mind
BY ASTALDO ELVEN
Whenever I was upset
They soothed, they calmed
My piano was my pride and glory
The scores were my challenges
To my brain the music were tonic
And the imaginations were balloons that never burst
My piano was my nurse and doctor
One of the best remedy for
All my sorrows, my frustrations and the
Lending ear of all my joy, my thrills.
My piano taught me to listen
Attentively, independently and learn to be
My very own teacher and learn to discern
The pros and cons of me.
I feel for my piano, I feel it deep inside
Everlasting love, undying passion
My piano became part of my life
Without it, happiness is a struggle.
Quite a well resolved image. The words ‘Trestle here’ directly below the 4 in the serial number can easily be discerned. Also, the left main wheel can be seen to still be spinning from the take-off run as it retracts.
En 2020 años, cada vez más personas en las plataformas sociales como Facebook, WhatsApp, etc., dan testimonio de que el Señor se ha hecho carne y ha descendido en secreto hace mucho tiempo, expresando palabras y realizando una etapa nueva de orba. A través de buscar e investigar las palabras de Dios, muchas personas han reconocido Su voz y han recibido al Señor con éxito. Pero después de oír esta noticia otras personas piensan: “A menos que lo veamos con nuestros propios ojos, ¿cómo podemos estar seguros de que es la aparición y obra de Dios?”.
No hace daño recordar por qué inicialmente comenzamos a creer en el Señor Jesús. ¿Pudo ser que creímos porque vimos la carne del Señor Jesús con nuestros propios ojos? ¡Claro que no! Todos nosotros creemos en Él por la gracia que Él otorga, por la obra de ser crucificado por nuestra redención y por las palabras que Él pronunció. Veamos otra vez a los doce discípulos que seguían al Señor Jesús en la Era de la Gracia, entre ellos solo Pedro recordó las palabras del Señor Jesús y, a menudo, las contempló, entonces Dios le indicó a reconocer que el Señor Jesús era Dios encarnado. Otros no se concentraron en escuchar y meditar en las palabra del Señor Jesús y la verdad expresada por Él, así que no reconocieron que Él era Dios hecho carne, incluso si estuvieron con Él día y noche. El discípulo Judas, quien había seguido al Señor Jesús por años, de hecho vendió al Señor Jesús por treinta piezas de plata. Si hubiera sabido que el Señor Jesús era el Mesías, ¿se hubiera atrevido a hacer esto? Por lo tanto, nosotros los seres humanos, no podemos reconocer a Dios tan solo por la vista. Si queremos determinar si es la carne encarnada de Dios o Su manifestación, debemos reconocer mediante Sus palabras y obra, porque solo Dios puede expresar la verdad, solo Dios puede revelar todos los misterios, y solo Dios puede hacer la obra de juzgar, purificar y salvar al hombre, y nadie es capaz de imitar esto.
La Palabra de Dios dice: “Aquel que es la encarnación de Dios tendrá Su esencia, y Aquel que es la encarnación de Dios tendrá Su expresión. Haciéndose carne, Dios traerá la obra que debe hacer, y haciéndose carne expresará lo que Él es; será, asimismo, capaz de traer la verdad al hombre, de concederle la vida, y de mostrarle el camino. La carne que no contiene la esencia de Dios seguramente no es el Dios encarnado; de esto no hay duda. Para investigar si es la carne encarnada de Dios, el hombre debe determinarlo a partir del carácter que Él expresa y de las palabras que Él habla. Es decir, si es o no la carne encarnada de Dios, y si es o no el camino verdadero, debe discernirse a partir de Su esencia. Y así, para determinar si es o no la carne de Dios encarnado, la clave está en prestar atención a Su esencia (Su obra, Sus palabras, Su carácter, y mucho más), en lugar de fijarse en Su apariencia exterior. Si el hombre sólo ve Su apariencia exterior, y pasa por alto Su esencia, demostrará la ignorancia y la ingenuidad del hombre”.

Similar in appearance to the Curlew, but slightly smaller. Whimbrel has a similar downcurved bill, but this is slightly shorter than that of the Curlew. When seen well, distinctive "striped" head pattern can be discerned - formed by a dark crown, with a pale streak through the centre, a pale supercillium and a dark eyestripe. The call is also one of the best ways of finding a flock of migrating Whimbrels passing overhead.
A rapid, monotone whistle - "whit-tit-tit-tit-tit-tit…", very unlike the call of a Curlew. Frequently heard as birds fly high overhead. Also occasionally a rapid bubbling song, quite similar to Curlew's
Siempre está ahí.
Que mi camino se encuentre iluminado
y la negrura no enturbie el corazón
discernimiento al escoger entre los frutos,
decisión para subir otro escalón
Vivir el presente hacia el futuro
guardar el pasado en el arcón,
trabajar por el cambio de conciencia,
dibujar en el aire una canción
You're paralyzed, breathe your disguise
You feed on the lies that they tell you
Got to break away from the numbing pain
Succumb to the rage that's inside you
You're hypnotized, demoralized
Believe every line that they sell you
Start channelling whatever will remains
Discern from what's fiction and what is true
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
See through the disguise
Won't you open your eyes!
You've lost your sense from the emptiness
You do what the headlines compel you
Become whole again and let the war begin
Destroy the veneer that surrounds you
There's no defense for your recklessness
You stare as the proof lies before you
Why can't you see, are you afraid to be
Exposed to the demons around you?
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
See through the disguise
Won't you open your eyes!
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
See through the disguise
Won't you open your eyes!
You would all be runnin'
In a world you cannot hide
And the end is comin'
For the lemmings standing in line
Overcome it
Let the fury build inside
It could all be broken
If you only opened your eyes
Saltmarsh mallow (Kosteltzkya pentacarpos; syn. K. virginica) is a member of the hibiscus family and a common occurrence in salt marsh and freshwater wetland habitats throughout Florida and the Eastern Seaboard. This widely distributed species goes largely unnoticed, however, when not in bloom.
Saltmarsh mallow is a deciduous perennial that emerges each spring and produces a thin weak stem that eventually reaches a height of up to 6 feet. The thin stems and elongated diamond-shaped leaves are sometimes difficult to discern within the adjacent foliage unless the plant is encountered along stream edges where it may stand alone.
Blooming can occur during most months from late spring through fall. The individual flowers are small by native hibiscus standards; 1-2 inches across, but a wonderful rich pink in color. These flowers are attractive nectar sources for a wide variety of pollinators.
Saltmarsh mallow needs wet soils to prosper, but given these, it can be a handsome addition to a mixed wildflower planting when cultivated and maintained a bit. Use it as an accent within a pond or marsh edge planting and use several together to maximize the impact of its blooms. This species is frequently grown by nurseries that specialize in wetland mitigation plantings, so it may not be difficult to locate. Individuals do not get much larger over the years - the way many species in the Hibiscus genus do, but they produce large numbers of seed and often spread this way when conditions are right.
I found this one growing wild along the "Jungle Trail" on the East Coast of Central Florida.

Facts:
Identification of the eland is difficult to discern from other antelope species. However, they are the largest among them, beaten only by the kudu.
The average lifespan of eland is 15-20 years. When it captivity, some records indicate that they can live up to 25 years comfortably.
They have some of the biggest horns seen on an antelope species, reaching up to 26 inches long. Though the females are smaller in every sense, they actually can reach up to 27 inches long with their horns.
These spiral-horned mammals are not aggressive. In fact, males don’t even become competitive or hostile during mating because there is little competition.
They're so small Olymp had a difficult time getting a picture sufficiently clear to post. The tiny flowers of Nailwort are 2-3 mm wide. But the small plants are tiny flashes of red in the otherwise stil drab and dull dunes of Amsterdam's Waterleidingduinen, our source of drinkable water.
'Nailwort' is for the use to which our pretty plant was once put: to sooth whitlows - you know, those little red striate skin blemishes sometimes near your finger- or toenails.
The plant is covered with sticky glands. I don't know for wat purpose. I tried a taste, but could discern nothing either sweet or otherwise. Perhaps my tongue isn't fine-tuned enough...
Yes, those are crystals of sand stuck to some of the glands.

Photographed eight months after temporary “Thistle Lake” had been drained from behind a massive mudslide, Amtrak’s California Zephyr traverses the Thistle Line Change, a route less than a year old at the time, on June 13, 1984. It was a treat to catch train activity along the new line that summer. You can discern the old lake shoreline where greenery meets dead vegetation, an area once flooded by Soldier and Thistle creeks.

La prise de vue est ici orientée vers le sud-sud-est. D'un peu plus haut, depuis les pâturages qui dominent le col de Pramiérou, on peut admirer le large panorama qui s'offre à la vue en direction du nord-nord-est, comme on le découvre sur cette autre photo :

Les deux sommets qu'on y distingue au second plan sont ceux de Céüse qui constitue un superbe synclinal perché et de sa jumelle plus petite, d'ailleurs souvent appelée Petite-Céüse ou Céüsette.
Depuis Esparron, il n'est pas aisé de trouver le passage vers ce col isolé un peu à l'écart du GR 94 : la fin du parcours vous égare parmi les sillons tracés par les bovins dans des pentes assez abruptes. Quant à la montée depuis le col d'Espréaux, à peine tracée au coeur d'une épaisse forêt, si elle offre un ombrage agréable en saison chaude, elle se réduit parfois à un petit creux peu discernable sur un matelas épais de feuilles sèches, et il est peu probable que vous trouviez quiconque pour vous mettre sur la voie : je n'ai jamais rencontré âme qui vive sur ce parcours confidentiel...
Mais lorsque le rideau des bois se lève à l'approche du col, vous vous dites que le spectacle méritait vos efforts !

Worldwide, it is estimated that there are about 650,000 Sandhill Cranes; 450,000-500,000 being Lessers. "The Merced NWR hosts the largest wintering concentration of Lesser Sandhill Cranes in the Pacific Flyway with as many as 20,000 cranes using the Refuge." Source: Merced NWR online brochure. "It takes a patient and sharp eye to discern the difference between Greater and Lesser Sandhill Cranes. They have a similar body shape, plumage and color. Lesser Sandhill Cranes stand four feet high, with a four-inch, dagger-like bill. The greater is five feet tall, with a five-inch bill. These sub-species both migrate northward. The lesser breeds in northern Canada and Alaska, and the greater breeds in northeastern California, the Northwest and Great Lakes states. Greater sandhill cranes are threatened due to the loss of wetlands." Source: cranefestival.com
Can you barely discern the mortals strolling by the beach? Yes, they are humans, not ants! Their figures’ tiniest size creates a sense of scale needed to comprehend the mere vastness of the sea and sky captured in the frame.
This is the North Sea that is only a small part of the Atlantic ocean. So, this shot is nothing but a glimpse at the enormous vastness of the latter. The water-edge pictorially defines the ocean as finite.

Construida entre los siglos XVI y XVIII, la Santa Iglesia Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción y de San Frutos, forma parte del gótico tardío. Es una de las catedrales góticas más tardías de España y Europa. Se erige en pleno siglo XVI, concretamente entre los años 1525 y 1768.
En esta época la arquitectura imperante en Europa era ya la renacentista. Es por ello que en la Catedral de Segovia podemos discernir un estilo predominantemente gótico, al ser del gótico tardío, pero ya enmarcado con algunos rasgos renacentistas.
Su belleza y elegancia, así como su fuerza visual y dimensiones, hacen posible su denominación como La Dama de las Catedrales, acuñada por el Presidente de la Primera República Española Emilio Castelar.
Zeze Perrella é favorável à redução da maioridade penal para 16 anos. Para ele, a incidência de crimes praticados por menores se amplia, já que a impunidade, nesses casos, é garantida em lei. O mundo mudou nas últimas décadas, tornando superadas as legislações referentes aos adolescentes.
Medidas ineficazes permitem que esses jovens continuem oferecendo riscos à população, pois se sentem livres para fazer o que quiserem. O senador defende que hoje eles são mais conscientes que antigamente e possuem discernimento para avaliar a conduta deles na sociedade, cientes de que eventual desrespeito à ética e às normas de convivência estarão sujeitas à punição.

Somewhere near the Hungary / Slovak border, from a plane window.
Dazzleships were warships painted with a black and white pattern so that the shape (and direction) of the vessel was hard to determine. The aim was to confuse not conceal.
Here the contours of the land are difficult to discern owing to the field pattern.
Not far from the beaten path, away from the rush and noise of tourists and traffic sits a small garage. The swooshing sound of passing automobiles has given way to the wandering waves of the Pacific crashing on the beach. Between the waves you might hear birds singing and the swish of sandpaper bringing life back to fiberglass hidden under neglect or passion. The faint odor of resin and oil that permeates from the soiled walls is barely discernible as the warm and heavy sea-breeze wafts through through the tall grass and tropical flowers, squeezes through the large, open door and focuses it's energy on the creation at hand..
Here one can get lost in the task at hand to focus on every minute detail and live completely in the present or journey to other worlds, past, present or future.

Willow and Alder Flycatchers are almost identical in appearance but can quickly be separated by their calls. Willows are known by their call of 'Fitz-bew!' while Alders project an easily discernible 'Free-beer!

One of the Anna's hummingbirds that live in our back yard and buzz me every time I fill the feeders. Amazing to me that at 1/100th of a second, the wings are barely discernible - just a blur in a million different directions.
A footbridge now crosses the river Lha-chu and above it, nestling in the cliff face is the rebuilt Kagyu monastery of Choku Gonpa (4770 m), which was originally founded by Nyepo Drubtob in accordance with a prophesy of Gotsangpa.
The manastery was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution as whas 99% of all monasteries in Tibet.
The view of the south face of Gangs Rinpo Che, Gangs Ti Se or Kailash mountain, if clear, is striking. Below the monastery, but not discernible, is the Langchen Bepuk (Hidden Elephant Cave) where Padmasambhava stayed and meditated when he came to Mount Kailash

This male Lapland Longspur in prime breeding plumage rested on a snowbank along the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway in Canada’s Northwest Territories. This species has a circumpolar breeding range, so is found in the northern summer on the tundra of Eurasia as well as North America (as the first part of the common name suggests). The long hind claws (“spurs”) can be discerned in this image.
Another in the store front series. Kind of strange that the marquee above is obscure, and there's no clear indication of the name of the store. Only noticed when posting that the words "dry goods design" are barely discernible in the reflection on the window at right, and Google Maps confirms that's the name. Human observers will not make the robot auto-tagger's mistake of mis-assigning the type of shop.

This is the second of three shots of Georgina, the World's Coolest Bear. Here she has gone from patient and watchful to very active, having plunged into the water for a salmon. This time she came up empty. No matter how docile these bears may look, they are wild animals that can spring into action in a heartbeat.
They're also highly intelligent and able to discern human intent. Fearful? They will know it. Relaxed? They know that, too. And they can smell whatever is in your pack for lunch or a snack, so don't bring salmon or tuna sandwiches or sardines into bear country. I am positive that Georgina remembered the scent of those photographers who visited her regularly during salmon spawning season. Perhaps some of the other bears did, too. The key to getting along with bears is don't surprise them, and don't carry anything that may tempt them. I ate a lot of dry crackers during my visits. Bears will gladly eat those, too, but they need the nutrients that salmon provide, and so that remained their focus. We all carried bear spray but didn't come close to using it.

This image was the result of experimentation with intentional camera movement while at the beach during blue hour. The dark midground is the ocean, while the brighter areas are the sky and its reflection against the wet sand. With camera motion spanning about 10 degrees over 1/4 sec, it is still possible to discern clouds and waves amidst the abstraction.
Nigritella rhellicani (Orchidaceae) 177 21
Nigritella rhellicani (common name: dark vanilla orchid or black vanilla orchid) is a European species of orchid.
This species grows 5–22 centimeters high, with a dense, globose to the cylindrical inflorescence of red-brown to chocolate-brown flowers with a chocolate-like aroma. Some plants, especially in the south of the species' range have noticeably paler flowers
Nigritella rhellicani is indisputably the most widespread and frequently encountered of the seventeen species currently comprising the N. nigra group. Its range takes it from the western Alps, eastwards to the Carpathians, and although unconfirmed, probably into Russia. It can be abundant in its favored locations, where it grows in short alpine turf as low as 1,000 meters up to a recently recorded altitude of over 3,000 meters. N. rhellicani together with N. austriaca are colloquially known as the "Black Vanilla Orchids" and are frequently found growing alongside each other. In typical plants there are easily discerned distinguishing characteristics, unfortunately however the natural variation within both species can often render accurate identification all but impossible except to the professional scientific eye.
Los desastres de los últimos días son cada vez más grandes, y todos queremos recibir el regreso del Señor a la mayor brevedad y ser llevados al reino de los cielos. Pero ahora que los desastres han llegado, ¿por qué algunas personas aún no han recibido al Señor con éxito? Esto se debe principalmente a que en el asunto de dar la bienvenida al Señor, han pasado por alto algunos versos importantes, que son la forma correcta que el Señor nos ha dicho para acogerlo. Tales como:
El Señor Jesús dijo: “Mis ovejas oyen mi voz, y yo las conozco y me siguen” (Juan 10:27).
“He aquí, yo estoy a la puerta y llamo ; si alguno oye mi voz y abre la puerta, entraré a él, y cenaré con él y él conmigo” (Apocalipsis 3:20).
“El que tiene oído, oiga lo que el Espíritu dice a las iglesias” (Apocalipsis 2:7).
De las palabras de Dios, se puede ver que el Señor buscará a Sus ovejas a través de expresar palabras cuando regrese en los últimos días, así que debemos aprender a escuchar la voz de Dios al esperar la venida del Señor. Y solo los que saben escuchar la voz de Dios pueden seguir Sus pasos, al igual que Pedro, Juan y otros discípulos, quienes reconocieron al Señor Jesús como el Mesías venidero por Sus palabras, lo siguieron firmemente y obtuvieron Su salvación. Ahora el Señor ha vuelto a la carne, ha expresado nuevas palabras y ha llevado a cabo nueva obra. ¿Cómo podemos discernir la voz de Dios y seguir los pasos del Cordero a partir de las nuevas palabras del Señor regresado?

Dios Todopoderoso dice: “Investigar algo así no es difícil, pero requiere que cada uno de nosotros conozca esta única verdad: Aquel que es Dios encarnado poseerá la esencia de Dios, y Aquel que es Dios encarnado tendrá la expresión de Dios. Haciéndose carne, Dios traerá la obra que pretende hacer, y haciéndose carne expresará lo que Él es; será, asimismo, capaz de traer la verdad al hombre, de concederle la vida y de señalarle el camino. La carne que no contiene la esencia de Dios definitivamente no es el Dios encarnado; de esto no hay duda. Si el hombre pretende investigar si es la encarnación de Dios, entonces debe corroborarlo a partir del carácter que Él expresa y de las palabras que Él habla. Es decir, para corroborar si es o no la carne encarnada de Dios y si es o no el camino verdadero, la persona debe discernir basándose en Su esencia. Y, así, a la hora de determinar si se trata de la carne de Dios encarnado, la clave yace en Su esencia (Su obra, Sus declaraciones, Su carácter y muchos otros aspectos), en lugar de fijarse en Su apariencia exterior”.
Extracto de “La Palabra manifestada en carne”
De esto, podemos ver que para determinar si es o no la carne de Dios encarnado, no se basa en si Su imagen es grande o común, ni en el lugar donde nace, sino en la esencia de esta carne. Debido a que Dios encarnado posee la esencia divina, Él es capaz de expresar la verdad, hacer la obra de Dios mismo, indicarnos el camino de práctica y darnos la vida.
Construida entre los siglos XVI y XVIII, la Santa Iglesia Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción y de San Frutos, forma parte del gótico tardío. Es una de las catedrales góticas más tardías de España y Europa. Se erige en pleno siglo XVI, concretamente entre los años 1525 y 1768.
En esta época la arquitectura imperante en Europa era ya la renacentista. Es por ello que en la Catedral de Segovia podemos discernir un estilo predominantemente gótico, al ser del gótico tardío, pero ya enmarcado con algunos rasgos renacentistas.
Su belleza y elegancia, así como su fuerza visual y dimensiones, hacen posible su denominación como La Dama de las Catedrales, acuñada por el Presidente de la Primera República Española Emilio Castelar.
