Roleplay Character - Tʜᴇ Lᴇᴀɴᴀɴ Sɪᴅʜᴇ
The time has come to be alive
With the Circle of Magi,
where we will thrive
With our brothers.
Enchanters remind
That time will not unwind.
The dragon's crooked spine,
Will never straighten into line.
What we plea will be
A faithful end decree,
Where a man will not retreat
From the defeat of his fathers.
Enchanters!
A time has come for battle lines.
We will cut these knotted ties,
And some may live and some may die.
Enchanter, Come To Me
Enchanter, Come To Me
Enchanter, Come To See
Can-a you, can-a you come to see,
As you once were blind
In the light now you can sing?
In our strength we can rely,
And history will not repeat.
Enchanter, Come To Me
Saint-Geniès. Dordogne. Périgord noir.
La chapelle est construite en 1327 sous l'impulsion de Gausbert de la Chaminade, seigneur de Saint-Geniès. Les peintures murales à l'intérieur sont légèrement postérieures et datent vraisemblablement des années 1330-1340. Ces peintures sont maintes fois restaurées au cours du XXe siècle.
La chapelle est classée au titre des monuments historiques par arrêté du 31 août 1899.
The chapel was built in 1327 under the leadership of Gausbert de la Chaminade, Lord of Saint-Geniès. The wall paintings inside are slightly later and probably date from the years 1330-1340. These paintings were restored many times during the 20th century.
The chapel is classified as a historical monument by decree of August 31, 1899.

Nécropole Nationale des Glières, La Balme-de-Thuy et Thônes, Haute-Savoie,
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France.
La necrópolis nacional de Glières es un cementerio militar y conmemorativo. Inaugurada en abril de 1944, la necrópolis recuerda a los combatientes, principalmente a los que murieron durante los combates en Glières. Se convirtió en “cementerio militar nacional” el 5 de febrero de 1949 y luego en “necrópolis nacional de Glières” en 1984.
El cementerio está formado por 105 tumbas coronadas por una cruz de bronce, 88 de las cuales son las de los combatientes de la resistencia de la meseta de Glières. Inicialmente, las tumbas estaban cubiertas con cruces de madera, que fueron retiradas entre 1960 y 1963.
Al día siguiente de los combates, los ocupantes alemanes quisieron enterrar a los muertos de Glières en una fosa común. El alcalde de Thônes se opone y quiere que sean enterrados dignamente. Para enterrarlos se eligió el campo situado en un lugar llamado Morette. Las cruces de bronce inicialmente instaladas en las tumbas son ofrecidas por Paccard Foundry. En agosto de 1944, el departamento de Alta Saboya fue liberado.
El 5 de noviembre de 1944, el general de Gaulle rindió homenaje a los combatientes visitando el lugar.
El cementerio está gestionado por la Oficina Nacional de Veteranos y Víctimas de la Guerra (ONACVG) y el Ministerio de las Fuerzas Armadas. El cementerio militar fue catalogado como monumento histórico por decreto del 23 de marzo de 2015. Debido a su época, también se beneficia de la etiqueta “patrimonio del siglo XX”.
The national necropolis of Glières is a military and memorial cemetery. Inaugurated in April 1944, the necropolis remembers the combatants, mainly those who died during the fighting in Glières. It became a “national military cemetery” on February 5, 1949 and then the “national necropolis of Glières” in 1984.
The cemetery is made up of 105 tombs crowned by a bronze cross, 88 of which are those of resistance fighters from the Glières plateau. Initially, the graves were covered with wooden crosses, which were removed between 1960 and 1963.
The day after the fighting, the German occupiers wanted to bury the dead of Glières in a common grave. The mayor of Thônes is opposed and wants them to be buried with dignity. To bury them, the field located in a place called Morette was chosen. The bronze crosses initially installed on the graves are offered by Paccard Foundry. In August 1944, the department of Haute-Savoie was liberated.
On November 5, 1944, General de Gaulle paid tribute to the combatants by visiting the site.
The cemetery is managed by the National Office of War Veterans and Victims (ONACVG) and the Ministry of the Armed Forces. The military cemetery was classified as a historical monument by decree of March 23, 2015. Due to its era, it also benefits from the “20th century heritage” label.
Valle Crucis Abbey Ruin
Building work got underway in 1201. Eight centuries later and the abbey is one of the best preserved in Wales. Even the monks’ fishpond is still full of water!
From its cloister to chapter house, with striking rib-vaulted roof, this abbey was shaped by the devout nature of its inhabitants. The abbey was also remarkably self-sufficient thanks to the lay brethren. They were happy to leave the choir monks to their prayers while they got on with the job of tending the land. All friends together? Not quite. The monks observed their daily offices in the choir, separated by a screen from the lay brethren who worshipped in the nave of the abbey church.
Far from an easy life, Valle Crucis Abbey suffered a serious fire and numerous attacks but went on to earn a reputation for its appreciation of the literary arts. In 1535 it was ranked the second richest Cistercian monastery after Tintern. By this time, the Cistercians had relaxed their orthodox austerity. A comfortable heated suite was created for the abbot. This new found wealth and hospitality didn’t last long. Valle Crucis was duly dissolved by royal decree in 1537.

Valletta is Malta's capital, built by the Knights of St John on a peninsula that's only 1km by 600m. Its founder decreed that it should be 'a city built by gentlemen for gentlemen', and it retains its 16th-century elegance. It may be small, but it's packed full of sights; when Unesco named Valletta a World Heritage Site, it described it as 'one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world'.
The Renzo Piano–designed City Gate, Parliament Building and Opera House have changed the cityscape and galvanised it into life. These sights, along with Valletta's status as European Capital of Culture for 2018, have seen the city reborn, with new museums, restored golden-stone fortresses, and new hotels, bars and restaurants in converted 16th-century mansions.
La Fuentona de Muriel, Cabrejas del Pinar, Soria, Castilla y León, España.
La Fuentona es un manantial natural que da lugar al nacimiento del río Abión, en la provincia de Soria (comunidad de Castilla y León, España). El conjunto de la surgencia y su entorno natural fue declarado monumento natural el 12 de noviembre de 1998 mediante el decreto 238/1998.1 Está situado en los términos municipales de Cabrejas del Pinar y Muriel de la Fuente.
Las características especiales de este espacio natural que le confieren un valor diferencial y han hecho de él objeto de protección son:
Ejemplo de acuífero y surgencia acompañado de pequeñas fuentes dentro de un sistema hidrológico.
Conserva comunidades faunísticas de singular rareza, que constituyen inapreciables muestras de material genético en extremo peligro de desaparición.
Mantener unas formaciones geológicas y geomorfológicas propias, como son los sistemas y complejos kársticos, formando parte del más extenso de los existentes en su ámbito territorial.
El Monumento Natural de la Fuentona es uno de los seis monumentos naturales existentes en la Comunidad de Castilla y León. Se ubica en el término municipal de Cabrejas del Pinar, en las proximidades de Muriel de la Fuente, en la provincia de Soria.
Está constituido por un conjunto de barrancos y desfiladeros flanqueados por impresionantes formaciones rocosas de origen calizo y conformados en los alrededores del río Abión. El nacimiento de este río ocurre en el lugar conocido como “La Fuentona de Muriel”. Se trata de una surgencia de aguas subterráneas que después de recorrer multitud de cavidades rocosas salen al exterior para configurar en su recorrido multitud de rincones en los que la naturaleza se aprecia en toda su plenitud.
La Fuentona de Muriel, enclave principal del Monumento Natura, es el drenaje natural del acuífero de la Sierra de Cabrejas el cual está constituido por rocas kársticas en las que el agua a lo largo de los años ha creado infinidad de grutas y cavernas cubiertas de agua en todo o en parte.
La Fuentona is a natural spring that gives rise to the source of the Abión river, in the province of Soria (community of Castilla y León, Spain). The set of the upwelling and its natural environment was declared a natural monument on November 12, 1998 by decree 238/1998.1 It is located in the municipalities of Cabrejas del Pinar and Muriel de la Fuente.
The special characteristics of this natural space that give it a differential value and have made it an object of protection are:
Example of an aquifer and upwelling accompanied by small sources within a hydrological system.
It conserves faunal communities of singular rarity, which constitute invaluable samples of genetic material in extreme danger of disappearance.
Maintain its own geological and geomorphological formations, such as karst systems and complexes, forming part of the most extensive of those existing in its territorial area.
The Fuentona Natural Monument is one of the six existing natural monuments in the Community of Castilla y León. It is located in the municipality of Cabrejas del Pinar, near Muriel de la Fuente, in the province of Soria.
It is made up of a set of ravines and gorges flanked by impressive limestone rock formations and formed around the Abión River. The source of this river occurs in the place known as “La Fuentona de Muriel”. It is about an upwelling of underground water that, after traveling through a multitude of rocky cavities, goes outside to configure a multitude of corners in which nature is appreciated in all its fullness.
The Fuentona de Muriel, the main enclave of the Natura Monument, is the natural drainage of the aquifer of the Sierra de Cabrejas which is made up of karst rocks in which the water over the years has created countless caves and caverns covered with water. in whole or in part.
Sonnet 93
So shall I live, supposing thou art true,
Like a deceived husband; so love's face
May still seem love to me, though altered new;
Thy looks with me, thy heart in other place:
For there can live no hatred in thine eye,
Therefore in that I cannot know thy change.
In many's looks, the false heart's history
Is writ in moods, and frowns, and wrinkles strange.
But heaven in thy creation did decree
That in thy face sweet love should ever dwell;
Whate'er thy thoughts, or thy heart's workings be,
Thy looks should nothing thence, but sweetness tell.
How like Eve's apple doth thy beauty grow,
If thy sweet virtue answer not thy show!
W. Shakespeare
The fortress was finished in 1672 and formed a part of King Christian IV's plan for defense of Kristiansand when the city was founded in 1641. The architect of the fortress was quartermaster general Willem Coucheron. It was built on an islet, about 100 yards from shore. Today the fortress is connected to the mainland.
The only time the fortress has been in battle was against a British fleet force, led by HMS Spencer (1800) in 1807 during the Napoleonic Wars. One of the very few remaining larger warships under Danish-Norwegian command was the ship of the line HDMS Prinds Christian Frederik with 70 cannons that was in the eastern harbor of Kristiansand. Captain Stopford on board HMS Spencer ordered to sail toward the city and announced in a letter that he wanted to take over the HDMS Prinds Christian Fredrik, and threatened to open fire on the city if the ship were not disclosed. When the ships approached, they were met by fierce resistance from Christiansholm Fortress. The attack was repulsed by massive gunfire and the British sailed instead to the abandoned Fredriksholm Fortress, which was blown up and destroyed.
The fortress was decommissioned by royal decree during June 1872 as part of a major redevelopment of fortifications across the nation.
Today, Christiansholm is a tourist attraction by the Kristiansand Boardwalk and venue for a variety of cultural events and festivities. It is now owned by the municipality and is a site used principally for recreation and cultural events.
The title of Count of St. Joachim was created by decree of May 22, 1890, by King Charles I of Portugal in favor of Joaquim Lopes Lebre, sole proprietor.
The title is currently extinct.
Hieroglyphics found in the tombs of the Pharaohs suggest that the ancient Egyptians believed the mushroom to be “the plant of immortality.” The mushroom’s distinct flavour so intoxicated these demi-gods, that they decreed mushrooms to be food for royalty alone, and prohibited any commoner from handling the delicacies.

CHURCH OF ST. PARASKEVY
This small church is the first church in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, built in 1345. Originally the church was wooden. It was built of stone later by decree of the wife of Prince Algirdas Maria. The church was hit hard by fires. In 1611, it was transferred to the Uniates.

Chapel of Santa Eulàlia, Saint Patron of the City of Barcelona. Barcelona Cathedral.
Capilla de Santa Eulalia, Patrona de Barcelona. Catedral de Barcelona.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENGLISH
One of the most well-known and endearing part of the Cathedral of Barcelona is the crypt of Saint Eulalia. The magnificent Gothic tomb incorporates Romanesque elements from other sources, such as the bases and capitals holding up the structure of the polychromed marble sarcophagus solemnly inaugurated in 1339. The sculptor is known to have come from the region of Pisa.
We know that in 1327 the bishop of Barcelona, Poncio de Gualba, contracted the services of an artist from Pisa to embellish the Cathedral that was being built during the first decades of the 14th century. There is also evidence that Luppo di Francesco was in Barcelona between 1330 and 1340. Additionally, the style of the sarcophagus coincides completely with other works by that artist at the Cathedral in Pisa.
The episodes shown in the reliefs on the sarcophagus narrate the story of the martyrdom of Saint Eulalia after leaving her parents’ home in Sarria at the age of 13, according to tradition. The reliefs also show the discovery and first transfer of the relics of the Saint from the basilica of Santa María del Mar to the Cathedral. Her martyrdom occurred within the context of the ferocious religious persecution decreed by the Roman Emperor Diocletian, and carried out in Hispania in 304 by the prefect Dacian.
The two stories go from left to right and start at the narrowest part at the left. In the first episode, the young woman is talking to her parents and we then see her walking by herself. In the long central section there are three scenes: first is her trial, in which she is condemned by the prefect Dacian; then her martyrdom by whipping and, third, her martyrdom by tearing her flesh with a hook while she was on the cross. The narrow segment on the right represents the death of the Saint on the cross. And on the long rear section are: first, the search for her burial place, the subsequent transfer of her body, carried on the back of clerics and, finally, the pause by the funeral procession so that a cleric could replace the finger that he had recently stolen from the Saint’s right hand, making the body become so heavy that it could not be moved. And on the front of the cover is the scene of the transfer to the current crypt in 1339, depicting the king and four bishops looking in awe at the body of the Saint before it is placed in the sepulcher.
Finally, the sarcophagus is crowned by five images: four angels with candlesticks and, in the center, the image of the Virgin. The crypt has a keystone representing the Virgin, Saint Eulalia and the Christ Child placing a crown on the Saint of Barcelona.
Behind the Gothic sepulcher is the original sepulcher of Saint Eulalia, which was found by the bishop Frodoino in 878 in the cemetery of Santa María del Mar, and a piece of broken marble with the original inscription commemorating her.

Just another wider take on this scene to help give you a sense of how truly massive these cranes are.
Remember in this post how I shared a bit about my surprise as to how busy the Savannah rail terminal is: flic.kr/p/2orwBib Well this should put it into starker relief for your. This is the Mason Mega Rail Terminal viewed looking down from Bourne Ave. (compass northwest) at the east half of the 18 track yard. Each of the two groups of 9 tracks has four wide span cranes reaching across its breadth. Everything here you see is new to support the absolute explosion in container volume through the Georgia Port Authority's. To put in perspective in 2003 the port handled 1.5 million TEUs (twenty foot equivalent units) and 5.9 million in 2022 and are building out capacity to support up to 9 million by 2025! There are tons of stories online about the port and this growth but here are a couple specific to the rail terminal in this photo:
gaports.com/blog/gpa-commissions-first-two-cranes-for-mas...
In days of old the port trackage was operated by the Savannah State Docks Railroad but since 1998 has been operated under contract to the Genesee and Wyoming as the Savannah Port Terminal Railroad. With the contract extended it seems like this road will be around for the long term and busier than ever.

A pair of Georgia Central GP38-2s are dwarfed by the cranes with GC 2115 having been blt. Nov. 1979 as Chicago and Northwestern 4610. The SAPT only rosters three units in their own lettering and two of those, original Savannah State Docks SW1001s, are on the EPA consent decree 'kill list' that was all the talk a couple months ago. Sadly I eient get to see them during my very brief outing.

The Jerónimos Monastery or Hieronymites Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Portuguese pronunciation: [muʃˈtɐjɾu duʃ ʒɨˈɾɔnimuʃ]), is a former monastery of the Order of Saint Jerome near the Tagus river in the parish of Belém, in the Lisbon Municipality, Portugal; it was secularised on 28 December 1833 by state decree and its ownership transferred to the charitable institution, Real Casa Pia de Lisboa.[1]
The monastery is one of the most prominent examples of the Portuguese Late Gothic Manueline style of architecture in Lisbon. It was classified a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the nearby Tower of Belém, in 1983. [Wikipedia]

This little Baroque cathedral has more to show than the next big sister, the Cathedral Primada, including six large paintings by Gregorio Vásquez.
***
The temple was built between 1660 and 1700, although part of the Bogota Cathedral (Primada de Colombia) is a totally independent building, it has a Latin cross plan, a single longitudinal nave, in turn crossed by the transept or nave. cross that forms the arms of the cross. The facade is neogranadino baroque style and inside houses an important collection of works by the painter Gregorio Vásquez de Arce and Ceballos, which revolve around themes of the Old and New Testament. In the season of Holy Week, the chapel is one of the most visited temples of Bogota by pilgrims.
Because of its historical significance, architectural and cultural value, the chapel was declared a National Monument by decree 1,584 of August 11, 1975.
🇫🇷 Les murs blanchis à la chaux et les dômes bleus représentent les couleurs du drapeau grec. Mais les bâtiments de Santorin n'ont pas toujours été colorés ainsi. Pendant la junte grecque de 1967 à 1974, le régime militaire de droite a imposé que tous les bâtiments soient peints en blanc et bleu pour inspirer le patriotisme et attirer plus de touristes .
Il n'y a plus d'obligation , mais c'est devenu traditionnel ....certaines maisons sont maintenant colorées
🇬🇧 he whitewashed walls and blue domes are the colours of the Greek flag. But Santorini's buildings were not always painted this way. During the Greek junta from 1967 to 1974, the right-wing military regime decreed that all buildings should be painted white and blue in order to inspire patriotism and attract more tourists.
This is no longer compulsory, but it has become traditional .... some houses are now coloured.
🇬🇷 οι ασβεστωμένοι τοίχοι και οι μπλε τρούλοι αντιπροσωπεύουν τα χρώματα της ελληνικής σημαίας. Αλλά τα κτίρια της Σαντορίνης δεν ήταν πάντα ζωγραφισμένα με αυτόν τον τρόπο. Κατά τη διάρκεια της ελληνικής χούντας από το 1967 έως το 1974, το δεξιό στρατιωτικό καθεστώς επέβαλε να βαφτούν όλα τα κτίρια λευκά και μπλε για να εμπνεύσει πατριωτισμό και να προσελκύσει περισσότερους τουρίστες.
Αυτό δεν είναι πλέον υποχρεωτικό, αλλά έχει γίνει παραδοσιακό .... Ορισμένα σπίτια είναι πλέον χρωματιστά.

Heute ist dies nicht mehr vorgeschrieben, aber zur Tradition geworden. .... Einige Häuser sind jetzt bunt.

I recently claimed an island off the coast of North America as my own (eat your Dole pineapple heart, Larry Ellison!). It took a considerable effort, but I finally managed to do so, having gotten my smartwool (TM) socks wet (almost) to get to its wild, craggy shores, where I had to fight off a giant pterodactyl (a medium sized seagull, really) and a dozen or so grumpy hermit crabs who were non too pleased that I disturbed their evening preyers (sic!). I have since decreed that no living creature is allowed on Myland, for no fewer than 364 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes each calendar year, this decree remaining in effect until I get bored with the idea of being the King of Myland (which, if things go according to how they do, may have happened yesterday).

Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

It's been a few years since this rare visitor has made an appearance this far south. Last fall saw a bumper crop of conifer cones (spruce, fir, hemlock and pine) in New England and Eastern Canada. This enabled the Nuthatches to be very productive breeders this past spring/summer and we may have a good Red-breasted Nuthatch season. They've been reported at many parks, nature centers and refuges in the area.
Let your compassion come to me that I may live,
for your law is my delight.
May the arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause;
but I will meditate on your precepts.
May those who fear you turn to me,
those who understand your statutes.
May I wholeheartedly follow your decrees,
that I may not be put to shame.
Psalm 119:77-80

Valle Crucis Abbey Ruins
Building work got underway in 1201. Eight centuries later and the abbey is one of the best preserved in Wales. Even the monks’ fishpond is still full of water!
From its cloister to chapter house, with striking rib-vaulted roof, this abbey was shaped by the devout nature of its inhabitants. The abbey was also remarkably self-sufficient thanks to the lay brethren. They were happy to leave the choir monks to their prayers while they got on with the job of tending the land. All friends together? Not quite. The monks observed their daily offices in the choir, separated by a screen from the lay brethren who worshipped in the nave of the abbey church.
Far from an easy life, Valle Crucis Abbey suffered a serious fire and numerous attacks but went on to earn a reputation for its appreciation of the literary arts. In 1535 it was ranked the second richest Cistercian monastery after Tintern. By this time, the Cistercians had relaxed their orthodox austerity. A comfortable heated suite was created for the abbot. This new found wealth and hospitality didn’t last long. Valle Crucis was duly dissolved by royal decree in 1537.
Russfin, Tierra del Fuego, Chile
The Russfin gold dredge is a mechanical shovel located in the town of Russfin, 37 km. west of Villa Cameron, in the commune of Timaukel in the province of Tierra del Fuego, Chile. The cast iron machine is a vestige of what was the origin of the settlement of the island by foreigners, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was brought from England at the time of the gold rush and was used to remove the earth in the extraction of the mineral. It functioned between 1904 and 1910. It was declared a Historical Monument by Supreme Decree No. 556 of 1976.
Priory Palace is an original palace in Gatchina (Гатчина), Russia. It was built in 1799 by the architect N. A. Lvov on the shore of the Black Lake (Чёрное озеро). Constructed for the Russian Grand Priory of the Order of St John, it was presented to the Order by a decree of Paul I of Russia dated August 23, 1799.
The fortress was finished in 1672 and formed a part of King Christian IV's plan for defense of Kristiansand when the city was founded in 1641. The architect of the fortress was quartermaster general Willem Coucheron. It was built on an islet, about 100 yards from shore. Today the fortress is connected to the mainland.
The only time the fortress has been in battle was against a British fleet force, led by HMS Spencer (1800) in 1807 during the Napoleonic Wars. One of the very few remaining larger warships under Danish-Norwegian command was the ship of the line HDMS Prinds Christian Frederik with 70 cannons that was in the eastern harbor of Kristiansand. Captain Stopford on board HMS Spencer ordered to sail toward the city and announced in a letter that he wanted to take over the HDMS Prinds Christian Fredrik, and threatened to open fire on the city if the ship were not disclosed. When the ships approached, they were met by fierce resistance from Christiansholm Fortress. The attack was repulsed by massive gunfire and the British sailed instead to the abandoned Fredriksholm Fortress, which was blown up and destroyed.
The fortress was decommissioned by royal decree during June 1872 as part of a major redevelopment of fortifications across the nation.

Portora Royal School, more properly called Enniskillen Royal School, traces its foundation to a decree by James I of England (James VI of Scotland) that was issued in 1608. His wish was that 'there shall be a free school at least in each county, appointed for the education of youth in learning and religion.' It had been intended that such a school should be built in the county town. At the time of the proclamation County Fermanagh had no town to which the description 'county' could be applied, in fact it could be said that the county had no settlements to which the description 'town' could be applied.
The famous, and some would say infamous, Oscar Fingal O’Flaherty Wills Wilde was a boarder; he attended the school during the period 1864 to 1872, subsequently to attend TCD and then Magdalen at Oxford.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Saint-Michel Basilica-Cathedral (French: Basilique-cathédrale Saint-Michel) is a Roman Catholic minor basilica and cathedral dedicated to St. Michael located in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. The church is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sherbrooke. The basilica was decreed on July 31, 1959. The lower-half of the cathedral was constructed from 1914 to 1917. A lack of funds resulted in a thirty-nine year pause in construction. The completion of the upper-half of the cathedral was in 1956 to 1957.
The cathedral was designed by architect Louis-Napoleon Audet, in Gothic style. Mr Audet was the architect for both phases of construction. The large window of the façade depicts the four Evangelists. The Cathedral of St Michael has 105 stained-glass windows crafted by Rafaël Lardeur of Paris.
The archbishop's chapel was painted by Ozias Leduc.

The Monastery of Panagia Kernitsa is at an altitude of 840 meters, 3 km. from the village of Nympassia, 7 km. from Vytina and 47 km. from Tripolis. The monastery is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It was built in 1386 in a place that was a natural fortress, because it is situated between the mountains of Gjirokaster and the Thaumasious mountains. It is considered the oldest monastery in the prefecture of Arcadia. From 1680 onwards, inside the monastery, there was Hidden School, as well as a Higher School.
The monastery was initially male. In 1940, with a royal decree, she turned into a woman. Over the centuries, he has experienced countless pillages, resulting in many relics of great value being destroyed or lost, such as a precious golden gospel. The miraculous icon of the Virgin was found in a cave beneath the temple. Inside the church of the Virgin Mary there are relics of relics and bones of saints and martyrs.
Below the monastery there is an excellent stone bridge built between 1901 and 1905. In the precinct there is the church of "Panagia of Kernitsa" and 100m. below is the Temple of Timios Prodromos, which was inaugurated in 1968. Further south is the temple of Taxiarches, which today serves as a confessional. Metochi of the monastery is the monastery of Ag. Theodoros in Pyrgaki, which was founded by Palaiologoi in the 14th century and became a shareholder in 1925. The Virgin Mary of Kernitsa is celebrated on 23 August and the Divine Liturgy is always held in the evening. The monastery can accommodate about 60 people.
Η Μονή Παναγίας Κερνίτσας βρίσκεται σε υψόμετρο 840μ., σε απόσταση 3χλμ. από το χωριό Νυμφασία, 7χλμ. από τη Βυτίνα και 47χλμ. από την Τρίπολη. Η μονή είναι αφιερωμένη στην Κοίμηση της Θεοτόκου. Κτίστηκε το 1386 σε θέση που αποτελούσε φυσικό οχυρό, διότι βρίσκεται ανάμεσα στα βουνά του Αργυροκάστρου και του Θαυμασίου όρους. Θεωρείται το παλαιότερο μοναστήρι του νομού Αρκαδίας. Από το 1680 και μετά εντός της μονής λειτουργούσε Κρυφό Σχολειό, καθώς και μια Ανώτερη Σχολή.
Η μονή αρχικά ήταν ανδρική. Το 1940 με βασιλικό διάταγμα μετετράπη σε γυναικεία. Στο πέρασμα των αιώνων βίωσε αμέτρητες λεηλασίες με αποτέλεσμα πολλά κειμήλια μεγάλης αξίας να καταστραφούν ή να χαθούν, όπως ένα πολύτιμο χρυσό Ευαγγέλιο. Η θαυματουργή εικόνα της Παναγίας βρέθηκε σε μια σπηλιά κάτω από τον ναό. Στο εσωτερικό της εκκλησίας της Παναγίας υπάρχουν λειψανοθήκες με λείψανα και οστά αγίων και μαρτύρων.
Κάτω από τη μονή υπάρχει ένα εξαιρετικό πέτρινο γεφύρι κτισμένο μεταξύ 1901 και 1905. Στον περίβολο υπάρχει ο ναός της «Παναγιάς της Κερνίτσας» και 100μ. πιο κάτω ο ναός του Τιμίου Προδρόμου, που εγκαινιάστηκε το 1968. Νοτιότερα βρίσκεται ο ναός των Ταξιαρχών που σήμερα λειτουργεί ως εξομολογητήριο. Μετόχι του μοναστηριού είναι η μονή των Αγ. Θεοδώρων στο Πυργάκι, η οποία ιδρύθηκε από τους Παλαιολόγους τον 14ο αιώνα και έγινε μετόχι το 1925. Η Παναγία της Κερνίτσας εορτάζει στις 23 Αυγούστου και η Θεία Λειτουργία τελείται πάντα βράδυ. Η μονή μπορεί να φιλοξενήσει περί τα 60 άτομα.
(Warning... long read but interesting for anyone who's had a similar experience.)
So.... I had the POLICE called on me today! 😳
Can you imaging this. There I am taking pictures of nature (frozen branches actually) in our local "Parc de Cite". And a very "disturbed" woman starts mildly yelling at me not to take her picture. Clearly I said I hadn't taken anything of her, I take only nature. (As you all know me to do, take photos of nature and animals)
And then all "craziness" breaks out.. She starts to relentlessly continue to harrass me by accusing me of being a stalker?? She just wouldn't leave me alone, so naturally I start to verbably defend myslef. I mentioned how she thought of herself as a princess or her highness. Thinking that the world must bow to her ..ect! That is what she must think if she thinks everyone is taking photos of her. Also letting her know that she may forgot to take her pills this morning!!
Meanwhile I'm trying to get away from her and continue taking pictures of the branches that had a small frozen nest in it. And the whole time she was verbally harrassing me and calling me "B" things, ect.
So I look at her and notice she recording me on her cell. So now I tell her I don't give her permission to do this! She claimed she wasn't filming me. More argueing on both parts and next thing you know she's following me to my car (at a distance at first) then runs toward the back to (AS SHE SAYS) take a picture of my license because shes going to POST it in her twitter-instagram. to let everybody know I'm a stacker!
ALL THIS.. because I'm taking pictures of frozen branches?? W.T.Heck!! I then proceed to cover my license plate to stop her from posting my MOM'S car online! And she comes in closer (here I start to use my cell to record her incase she physically attacks me. She started to give me that feeling she would. She then hits my phone to push it down) At this point she went nuts. Me hiding my plate was proof enough to her that I'm a predator, she said??! So she threatnens to call the cops... SO of course I begged her too!! I wanted them to see her act crazy like this!
Meanwhile I said... why not call Mom and get her over here to be a witness to the craziness. And sure enough.. the moment mom gets there it didn't long for mom to see how mentally unstable his woman was. She started mouthing off to mom too!
So COPS arrive.. one goes to her one comes to me. And what do I notice... She pulls out her cell and shows the cop the recording of me verbally deffending myslef. You know.. the one she said she DIDn't take of me!!
And what worse.. she was all of the sudden acting calm and composed to the Policemen. WOW... she knew exactly what she was doing!! A real manipulator! Two young handsome policemen... yah.. she knew what she was doing!
I tried to get the cop to look at my camera to show all the photos I took, and to show that SHE wasn't in anyone of them. Seing as though it was all trees-snow covered benches and frozen branches. But he wasn't interested in looking.
What a waste of the policemens time... such a drama from a uneducated woman who in my oppinion was looking for a altercation (maybe to have something to post online to get attention)
You want to know the funny part of this.... this Woman has done this to me before!! Yup.. I had the horror of meeting her last summer already. She singled me out like this and accused me of taking photos of her. And wouldn't you know it.... I was taking a picture of a tree and had my back to her that time too! (Yes.. I mentioned this to the police as well) Like a said ... she's looking for attention and creating DRAMA where ever she can!
She told the police she wouldn't post anything on social media, yet I thought I saw her doing that at the beggining of her tantrum with me. The police said we could go after her in court if he bullie's and trashes me online!
I'm so embarrased that the police had to come for this lunacy. And are you really telling me I can't mind my own buisiness and take photos of nature in my own local parc. Without having to go through this nonsense.
The Policemen told me the next time I see her to stay out of her way and point the camera opposite of her.?? I laughed and said... Thats EXACTLY what I was doing in the the first place!!! As I said.. she went looking for me! But nice to know I have to walk around her. I guess she is royalty afterall!!
So be warned my fellow nature photographers... You could get into trouble for taking a picture of a frozen branch with leaves on them!!! :-O
(Thank-you to anyone who took the time to read this.. I think I just needed to vent a little about this odd happening)
Now I'm just waiting to see myslef online via social media, yelling back at a crazy woman who wouldn't leave me alone. And most probably getting 100 of thousands haters threatening me online now. Only because a woman who started this atercation just so she can be the center of attention!!? That seems to be the norm these days, to be popular online!!
Le Grand Théâtre de Toulon est inauguré le 1er octobre 1862. Il remplace avantageusement l’ancienne Salle de la Comédie pas encore centenaire (1770) mais très vétuste, exiguë et inconfortable aux dires de la bonne société toulonnaise.
La construction d’une nouvelle salle était rendue possible par l’agrandissement de la ville décrété en 1853 et le report de ses remparts plus au nord.
Le Grand Théâtre, c’est ainsi qu’il est nommé, est le premier monument (1856-62) érigé dans le nouveau Toulon dont la superficie est multipliée par trois. Admirablement situé au cœur de la nouvelle ville, le monument est orienté Nord/Sud, avec une façade monumentale au Sud, dégagée par une place aménagée dès l’origine à cet effet le long de la Rue Royale (actuelle rue Jean Jaurès) et une façade également « historiée » au Nord, habillant remarquablement le tout nouveau boulevard Louis-Napoléon.
L’édifice, de style néo-classique avec ses arcs en plein cintre, ses colonnes grises et roses ainsi que son fronton, possède de nombreux détails intéressants parmi lesquels il faut noter des frises géométriques d’inspiration byzantine, style orientaliste qui sera très prisé à la fin du siècle.
Le bâtiment, conçu par l’architecte Léon Feuchères occupe une surface au sol de 27 x 70 mètres, soit près de 2000m2. Il a une infra structure en pierres maçonnées et poutres métalliques selon les principes de construction de l’époque (semi-métallique).
Le Grand Théâtre de Toulon connaît sa première représentation le 12 octobre 1862 avec une reprise de l’opéra-comique de Fromental Halévy (1799-1862) « Les Mousquetaires de la Reine » composé en 1846. Halévy venait de mourir (en mars de cette année) à Nice où il séjournait pour raisons de santé.
The Grand Théâtre de Toulon was inaugurated on October 1, 1862. It advantageously replaced the old Salle de la Comédie, not yet centenary (1770) but very dilapidated, cramped and uncomfortable according to good Toulon society.
The construction of a new hall was made possible by the enlargement of the city decreed in 1853 and the postponement of its ramparts further north.
The Grand Theater, as it is called, is the first monument (1856-62) erected in the new Toulon, the area of which is multiplied by three. Admirably located in the heart of the new city, the monument is oriented North / South, with a monumental facade to the South, cleared by a place fitted out from the outset for this purpose along the Rue Royale (current rue Jean Jaurès) and a facade also "historiated" in the North, remarkably dressing the brand new boulevard Louis-Napoléon.
The building, in a neo-classical style with its semicircular arches, its gray and pink columns as well as its pediment, has many interesting details among which we should note geometric friezes of Byzantine inspiration, orientalist style which will be very popular. at the end of the century.
The building, designed by the architect Léon Feuchères occupies a floor space of 27 x 70 meters, or almost 2000m2. It has an infrastructure of masonry stones and metal beams according to the building principles of the time (semi-metallic).
The Grand Théâtre de Toulon had its first performance on October 12, 1862 with a cover of the comic opera by Fromental Halévy (1799-1862) "The Musketeers of the Queen" composed in 1846. Halévy had just died (in March of this year) in Nice where he stayed for health reasons.
The New Cathedral (Spanish: Catedral Nueva) is, together with the Old Cathedral, one of the two cathedrals of Salamanca, Spain. It was constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries in two styles: late Gothic and Baroque. Building began in 1513 and the cathedral was consecrated in 1733. It was commissioned by Ferdinand V of Castile of Spain. It was declared a national monument by royal decree in 1887. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Cathedral_of_Salamanca#cite_not...
Long long ago, in a simpler time, it was possible to stand at the end of the sea wall where I live, and take photos of people in the surf. Now the nanny state has decreed that the wall shall obstruct the view and none shall have a clear view of the break. Long long ago when I got my first zoom lens I would hang out on the sea wall and take action shots of people in the surf. The shots in this set were taken in 2006 and have languished too long in my archive. I hope you enjoy them.

The fortress was finished in 1672 and formed a part of King Christian IV's plan for defense of Kristiansand when the city was founded in 1641. The architect of the fortress was quartermaster general Willem Coucheron. It was built on an islet, about 100 yards from shore. Today the fortress is connected to the mainland.
The only time the fortress has been in battle was against a British fleet force, led by HMS Spencer (1800) in 1807 during the Napoleonic Wars. One of the very few remaining larger warships under Danish-Norwegian command was the ship of the line HDMS Prinds Christian Frederik with 70 cannons that was in the eastern harbor of Kristiansand. Captain Stopford on board HMS Spencer ordered to sail toward the city and announced in a letter that he wanted to take over the HDMS Prinds Christian Fredrik, and threatened to open fire on the city if the ship were not disclosed. When the ships approached, they were met by fierce resistance from Christiansholm Fortress. The attack was repulsed by massive gunfire and the British sailed instead to the abandoned Fredriksholm Fortress, which was blown up and destroyed.
The fortress was decommissioned by royal decree during June 1872 as part of a major redevelopment of fortifications across the nation.
Today, Christiansholm is a tourist attraction by the Kristiansand Boardwalk and venue for a variety of cultural events and festivities. It is now owned by the municipality and is a site used principally for recreation and cultural events. wikipedia

Cathedral of the Holy Trinity Church, built in stone in the 1703-1712 biennium. Solikamsk craftsmen under the decree of Peter I. Divine services were resumed in 1998 by the decree of the Cathedral Ruling Bishop was given the status of Bishops monastery..
The Palazzo dei Priori is a historic building in Perugia, Umbria, central Italy.
As in other Italian medieval communes, it was the seat of the priori ("first citizens"). This magistrature was established in Perugia in 1303: the palazzo had been called the Palazzo Nuovo del Popolo ("New Palace of the People") to that point. During intractable civic quarrels, a podestà might be established, housed in a separate structure, the Palazzo del Podestà, of which only the Loggia added by Braccio da Montone flanking the Cathedral of San Lorenzo e San Ercolano remains. When the palazzo of this rival to the power of the Priori burned in 1534, significantly, it was not replaced, but fragments from it were incorporated into the archbishop's palace, also fronting the main piazza.
The Magistratura dei Priori that was housed in the structure consisted of ten representatives of each of Perugia's main guilds from among the forty-four that existed, permitted a tenure of only two months. The money-changers, who were housed in their own adjoining quarters in the fifteenth century, had the privilege of always being represented among the Priori, and the merchants' guild was represented by two members instead of one. After the Salt War of 1540 with Pope Paul III, the Priori were renamed “Conservatori dell’Ecclesiastica Obbedienza” ("Keepers of Ecclesiastical Obedience") and, the Palazzo del Podestà having been destroyed, the Palazzo dei Priori became the seat of the Papal Legate, the new governor of Perugia. When Pope Julius III restored the Priori, the grateful Perugini commemorated him with the bronze statue next to the Cathedral.
The structure commands the corner where the main artery of medieval Perugia, Corso Vannucci, enters the city's main square; a first section was constructed in 1293-97, at first as the Palatium Novum Populi, the "new Palace of the People", with ten bays along the Corso and three facing the piazza. Two more bays and a grand entrance portal were added to the piazza façade in 1333-37, together with the arcaded loggia, where decrees were publicly read. Later in the fourteenth century the palazzo was extended along the Corso, with six bays and a richly carved entrance doorway worthy of a cathedral. Rising above, a tower surmounts and controls the arched access to Via dei Priori, the ancient way that descends to the Etruscan gateway, the Roman Porta Trasimena, which was Christianized as the Arca di S. Luca. A further section down the Corso was built in 1429-43, still keeping to the Gothic tripartite fenestration, to house the Collegio del Cambio, the "money exchange" that was the financial center of Perugia.
The perimeter of the roof was originally crenellated all around, less for actual defensive purposes than as a symbol of Perugia's independence. Significantly, the crenellations were removed in 1610, when Perugia had submitted at last to papal armies. When Perugia was joined to a united Italy, the crenellations were triumphantly restored.
The grand portal in the Piazza is surmounted by the city's symbols, the griffin of Perugia and the Imperial Guelf lion, in bronze; the originals were probably cast in the Arsenal of Venice, in 1274, the first European bronze castings in the round achieved since Antiquity. Above the door, strung on a bar hanging from chains the keys to the gates of Siena were triumphantly displayed, following the victory of Perugia at the battle of Torrita, 1358.
The portal leads to an austere vaulted undercroft with the stairs leading to the vaulted frescoed Sala of the former council chamber of the Priori on the piano nobile; the Sala was allocated to the notaries guild in 1582, as the Sala dei Notari, when their former quarters, the Palazzetto dei Notari, on the opposite side of the Corso were partially demolished in a street widening. On the left is the entrance to the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria one of the most outstanding provincial Italian collections of art.
Job 22:28
"You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways."
(County Antrim, Northern Ireland))
Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
(Jeremiah 5:22)
A fortress at the site possibly already existed during the time of the Great Moravian Empire in the 9th century. From about 1055, Znojmo Castle served as the residence of a Přemyslid principality within the Bohemian March of Moravia and a strategic important outpost near the border with the Bavarian March of Austria in the south. Few years later (1101), Luitpold of Znojmo, Duke of Moravia, established the Ducal Rotunda of the Virgin Mary and St Catherine in this castle, later depicted by unique scene of genealogy Bohemian and Moravian Dukes of the Přemyslid dynasty and the castle was conquered and devastated by Duke Vladislaus II of Bohemia in 1145.
In 1190, Duke Conrad II of Bohemia founded the Premonstratensian Louka Abbey at Znojmo, which became the settlement area of German-speaking immigrants in the course of the medieval Ostsiedlung movement. The royal city of Znojmo was founded shortly before 1226 by King Ottokar I of Bohemia on the plains in front of the reconstructed castle. The town privileges were confirmed by King Rudolf I of Germany in 1278. On 9 December 1437 the Luxembourg emperor Sigismund died at Znojmo and lay in state for three days at the St. Nicholas Church, before his mortal remains were transferred to Nagyvárad (Oradea) in Hungary.
From the 19th Century, Znojmo is best known as the site for the Armistice of Znaim concluded there on 12 July 1809 during the Battle of Znaim, after the decisive 7 days earlier Battle of Wagram, between Emperor Napoleon and the archduke Charles.
From the 20th Century, it is also the (alleged) birthplace of Leopold Loyka, the driver of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand's car when Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo during 1914, an event which triggered the First World War. After the war, it was part of Czechoslovakia, except during the Nazi German occupation between 1938 and 1945 when it was part of Reichsgau Niederdonau. The German Citizens were expelled in 1945 according to the Beneš decrees.
The birthplace of the sculptor Hugo Lederer and writer Charles Sealsfield, it also has a special co-operation relation with Harderwijk, Netherlands.
