Dusk Long by Robert Cowlishaw (Mertonian)

Last night, cycling through cold, dark Lairessestraat – if only I could repeat everything I babbled out then! Something like this: God, take me by Your hand, I shall follow You dutifully and not resist too much. I shall evade none of the tempests life has in store for me, I shall try to face it all as best I can. But now and then grant me a short respite. I shall never again assume, in my innocence, that any peace that comes my way will be eternal. I shall accept all the inevitable tumult and struggle. I delight in warmth and security, but I shall not rebel if I have to sufffer cold, should You so decree. I shall follow wherever Your hand leads me and shall try not to be afraid.

Paddling Water. Paddle-wheel Steam Pumping Station, Halfweg, The Netherlands by Rana Pipiens

40 21

Lots of water on the way from Amsterdam to Haarlem, today and in the past. In the past even more so because the Haarlemmermeer (Haarlem Lake) was drained only in the middle of the nineteenth century and 't IJ was stll an open water connecting to the Zuyderzee/North Sea. Great sea storms and high water threatened the very walls and gates of Amsterdam and Leiden. Atter devastating storms in the '30s King William I in 1837 signed a decree to drain the Haarlemmermeer. Serious work wasn't done until the early 1850s, and the pictured Steam Pumping Station (1852) played an important part in the enterprise.

That Pumping Station was built right by the complex of sluices and locks that had functioned from the Middle Ages onward to control the waters between the Lake and 't IJ. Amsterdam and Haarlem were both important cities and people had to be able to travel the 15 km stretch safely and as quickly as possible. The dike road was slow and muddy, so it was decided in 1631/2 to dig a barge canal between the cities, the first such enterprise in the northern Low Countries. Halfway the canal encountered those sluices and locks, so passengers would have to disembark, walk across and board another barge on the other side. Soon inns, pubs and such arose to cater to people's needs. And that was the beginning of the town of Halfweg, about half-way between the two cities. The steam pumping station served until 1977 and its function was then taken over by a new, modern electrical unit at the Amerikahaven. It's now a working museum.

The pumps are in the building on the far left in the photo. Part of the complex - on the right - is now a restaurant and cafe.

How happy is the little Stone. HSS by Birgitta Sjöstedt

89 138

How happy is the little Stone

That rambles in the Road alone,

And doesn't care about Careers

And Exigencies never fears—

Whose Coat of elemental Brown

A passing Universe put on,

And independent as the Sun

Associates or glows alone,

Fulfilling absolute Decree

In casual simplicity—

Emily Dickinson

Wish all a HSS!

Thanks to LenaBem Anna for lovely texture.

Thank you all for kind visit and comment!.

Wanderer zwischen den Welten by Ralph Hennrich

35 1

Flamingos als Zugvögel und Wolken - zwei Wanderer zwischen den Welten.

In the realm of ethereal flight, where wonders unfurl,

Migratory birds and clouds, they softly twirl.

Two wanderers, boundless and free,

Connecting distant lands, touching the sky's decree.

Like graceful dancers in nature's grand ballet,

They traverse horizons, where dreams find their way.

With feathers of hope and wings outspread,

Migratory birds, like clouds, paint stories overhead.

Through shifting winds and endless skies,

They carry secrets whispered, as the world sighs.

In synchronized rhythm, they travel afar,

Uniting distant shores, like celestial stars.

Both bearers of mystery, they share a mystic link,

As clouds cast shadows, and birds soar in sync.

Transcending boundaries, they merge and blend,

A dance of migration, where destinies transcend.

So let us gaze upon the azure expanse,

Where birds and clouds embrace their cosmic dance.

Witness the unity in their celestial flight,

Guided by nature's hand, as they fade into sight.

Migratory birds and clouds, forever they roam,

Symbolic travelers, finding solace in the unknown.

May we learn from their journey, as they unfurl,

Embracing the harmony of our shared world.

Flamingos as migratory birds and clouds - two wanderers between worlds.

St Davids Bishops Palace Pembs Wales-290921 (29) by Ann Collier

16 3

From the website: :https://cadw.gov.wales/visit/places-to-visit/st-davids-bishops-palace#overview

There was only one top job for an ambitious cleric in medieval Wales: Bishop of St Davids in Pembrokeshire.

A 12th-century pope had decreed that two trips to St Davids were equal to one to Rome – turning it into a centre of pilgrimage for the entire Western world. Thousands flocked to see the shrine of St David in the newly built cathedral.

But the bishop’s home was no match for this magnificence. Enter Henry de Gower. Between 1328 and 1347 he turned a building only fit for ‘servants and animals’ into an immense palace.

The east range was his private domain. The south range was for show and ceremony. It was here in the great hall that Bishop Henry dispensed justice, held feasts and welcomed distinguished pilgrims.

The Reformation marked the beginning of the end. In fact William Barlow, first Protestant Bishop of St Davids, may well have stripped the lead from the roofs himself to spark a slow decline. But even as a ruin this palace beside its glorious cathedral remains an awe-inspiring space.

We visited September 2021 on a perfect day.

The airship (Zeppelin) Named after Paul von Hindenburg, field marshal and Reichspresident from 1925 until his death 1934. In his last year, he appointed a certain Nazi party leader as chancellor of Germany. shortly after that, signed a decree suspending many civil liberties following the Reichstag fire (The parliament) fire, and lastly signed the Enabling Act of 1933 to open all gates for the dictatorship of the Nazi regime, making the Nazi cabinet above the parliament and constitution.

“LZ 129 Hindenburg (Luftschiff Zeppelin #129; Registration: D-LZ 129) was a large German commercial passenger-carrying rigid airship, the lead ship of the Hindenburg class, the longest class of flying machine and the largest airship by envelope volume.[3] She was designed and built by the Zeppelin Company (Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH) on the shores of Lake Constance in Friedrichshafen, Germany, and was operated by the German Zeppelin Airline Company (Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei). The airship flew from March 1936 until she was destroyed by fire 14 months later on May 6, 1937 while attempting to land at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Manchester Township, New Jersey, at the end of the first North American transatlantic journey of her second season of service with the loss of 36 lives.”

The power to dream, to rule

To wrestle the world from fools

It's decreed: the people rule

Listen. I believe everything we dream

Can come to pass through our union

We can turn the world around

We can turn the earth's revolution

Auritz/Burguete, Navarra, España.

Burguete (Auritz en euskera y, de forma oficial, Auritz/Burguete) es un municipio español de la Comunidad Foral de Navarra, situado en la merindad de Sangüesa, en el partido judicial de Aoiz, en las comarca de Auñamendi y Pirineo Navarro y a 45 km de la capital de la comunidad, Pamplona.

Asentado sobre un antiguo camino la morfología de la villa queda caracterizada por la actual calle de San Nicolás; conocida en otras épocas como calle Única o avenida Roncesvalles y que corresponde a la actual N-135 (Pamplona - Valcarlos) es decir tiene una estructura de pueblo-calle.

La reparcelación medieval como pueblo-calle hacía que las casas en su origen estuvieran muy juntas separadas por los etxekartes o mokartes, no obstante el cambio de las condiciones de vida recientes ha hecho que la hoy calle San Nicolás muestre un juego de llenos y vacíos en contraste con su fuerte linealidad, reforzada además por los canales que la flanquean por los lados y suavizada por la ligera curva de su trazado.

La calle se puede dividir en dos partes caracterizada cada una por la tipología de sus edificios, la original que va de Oloriz a Aguio y la prolongación o ensanche de finales del XIX y principios del XX, que va de Espelosin a Errotaldea.

Mediante el Decreto Foral 98/2008, se declaró Bien de Interés Cultural el Conjunto Histórico de Auritz/Burguete, protegiendo así el buen estado de conservación de la trama urbana y sus peculiaridades edificatorias. Tras esta declaración el Ayuntamiento elaboró el correspondiente Plan Especial de Protección, que regula su conservación y mejora urbana; el Plan Especial de Protecciónb fue aprobado por acuerdo del Pleno del Ayuntamiento del 1 de febrero de 2011.

Burguete (Auritz in Basque and, officially, Auritz/Burguete) is a Spanish municipality in the Autonomous Community of Navarra, located in the Sangüesa merindad, in the Aoiz judicial district, in the Auñamendi and Navarrese Pyrenees region and 45 km from the capital of the community, Pamplona.

Settled on an old road, the morphology of the town is characterized by the current street of San Nicolás; known in other times as Calle Única or Avenida Roncesvalles and which corresponds to the current N-135 (Pamplona - Valcarlos), that is, it has a town-street structure.

The medieval reparcelling as a town-street meant that the houses were originally very close together, separated by the etxekartes or mokartes, however the recent change in living conditions has made the current San Nicolás street show a game of full and empty in contrast with its strong linearity, further reinforced by the channels that flank it on the sides and softened by the slight curve of its layout.

The street can be divided into two parts, each one characterized by the typology of its buildings, the original one that goes from Oloriz to Aguio and the extension or widening from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, which goes from Espelosin to Errotaldea.

Through Provincial Decree 98/2008, the Historic Complex of Auritz/Burguete was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, thus protecting the good state of conservation of the urban fabric and its building peculiarities. Following this declaration, the City Council drew up the corresponding Special Protection Plan, which regulates its conservation and urban improvement; The Special Protection Plan was approved by agreement of the City Council Plenary on February 1, 2011.

The New Jerusalem Monastery was founded in 1656 in Moscow by Patriarch Nikon. According to his plan, the monastery was to become the center of the Orthodox world. Topography, toponymy, church buildings of the monastery and the surrounding territory, stretching for several tens of kilometers, created the image of the Holy Land and reproduced the main Christian shrines of Palestine. On a hill in the center of this territory, which was called Zion, a monastery was founded - a peculiar city-temple. Some buildings of the monastery complex repeat the outlines of the buildings of the Holy Land, and the main cathedral of the monastery, consecrated in 1685, is built in the likeness of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. In the cathedral, the sacred similarities of Mount Golgotha, the caves of the Holy Sepulcher, the place of the three-day burial and the Life-giving Resurrection of the Savior are reproduced. The towers also have symbolic names: the Wojido Jerusalem, Gethsemane, etc. The hills surrounding the monastery were called the Mount of Olives, Favorsky, etc., villages - Preobrazhensky, Nazareth, Capernaum. On the land of Russian Palestine, a fast, tortuous river flows Istria, which received the name of the Jordan; The creek that flows around the monastery hill is the Kidron stream. Now a significant part of the territory is occupied by the city of Istra, which until 1930 was called Voskresensk.

Beginning to deteriorate even after the closure, the monastery suffered greatly during the Great Patriotic War. During the three-week German occupation in 1941, the museum was looted. When the fascist troops retreated, the monastery was blown up, the tower and bell tower of the monastery were destroyed, and the cathedral was significantly damaged.

Restoration and restoration work in the monastery began in 1947; especially intensively they were conducted in 1960-80s.

On March 6, 2009, the President of the Russian Federation D.A. Medvedev signed a decree "On measures to recreate the historical appearance of the Resurrection New Jerusalem Jerusalem Stauropegic Monastery of the Russian Orthodox Church."

Full-scale restoration activities were started in December 2011. The restoration of the Resurrection Cathedral was completed in 2015.

By 2014, near Voskresensky Cathedral, the bell tower destroyed in 1941 by German troops was restored and new bells were installed.

Restoration of the monastery, which represents the only successful attempt to recreate the image of the Holy Land, cost 10 billion rubles, of which almost 1 billion 300 million were national donations. By the end of 2016, the restoration work in the monastery was completed.

Spain - Toledo - Galiana Palace by Marc_B_

España - Toledo - Palacio de Galiana

www.palaciodegaliana.es/en/index.html

www.palaciodegaliana.es/

***

ENGLISH:

The building, located on the northeast outskirts of Toledo's historic center, most likely formed part of the almunia (fortress) built by Al-Mamun of Toledo, king of the Taifa of Toledo (1043-1075). Following the Christian conquest, the site was called the "royal almunia," which was still used in 1294, although by this time the Castilianization of the name "Huerta del Rey" (King's Garden) had taken hold. The name Galiana became popular from the 16th century onwards due to the disappearance of the authentic Galiana palaces, located in the Alficén complex next to the Alcázar.

During the Mudejar period, the north and south facades were rebuilt. According to Gómez-Moreno, at the beginning of the 20th century, when the building was in poor condition, the windows with lobed arches, the plasterwork of the framing—dating from the 14th century—and remains of paintings—which he considers to be earlier—were still visible in the rooms on the second floor. Few fragments of this decoration remain today, but Gómez-Moreno's testimony seems to indicate two renovations. First, the painted plinths and some of the plasterwork were completed in the mid-13th century. Later, John I donated this royal possession to the Jerónimos convent of La Sisla in 1385. Almost a decade later, it was purchased by Beatriz de Silva, who married Alvar Pérez de Guzmán in 1397. It was shortly afterward that the second renovation of the building was undertaken, as evidenced by the Guzmán and Silva coat of arms featured in the plasterwork.

Due to successive inheritances, the orchard was divided among various owners. The majority continued to belong to the Guzmán y Montijo family, while other areas belonged to the Chapel of Santo Tomás and the Brotherhood of Santa Caridad. After the confiscations of the 19th century, the House of Montijo acquired the undivided shares of the entities whose real estate assets were sold to the State. Empress Eugenie was interested in restoring the palace, which ultimately did not happen. As time passed, the site fell into disrepair.

It was declared a historic-artistic monument, belonging to the National Artistic Treasure, on June 3, 1931, by a decree published in the Gaceta de Madrid with the signature of the provisional president of the republic, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora, and the Minister of Public Instruction and Fine Arts, Marcelino Domingo y Sanjúan. In the 20th century, the Duke of Peñaranda sold the estate to Alejandro Fernández de Araoz and Carmen Marañón, who began the rehabilitation in 1959.

ESPAÑOL:

El edificio, situado en las afueras, al noreste del casco histórico de la ciudad de Toledo, muy probablemente formó parte de la almunia construida por Al-Mamún de Toledo, rey de la taifa de Toledo (1043-1075). A raíz de la conquista cristiana, el lugar se denominó «almunia real», aplicándose todavía en 1294, aunque por estas fechas se impone la castellanización de «Huerta del Rey». El nombre de Galiana se popularizó a partir del siglo XVI a consecuencia de la desaparición de los auténticos palacios de Galiana, situados en recinto del Alficén, junto al alcázar.

En época mudéjar se rehicieron las fachadas norte y sur. Según recoge Gómez-Moreno, a principios del siglo XX, cuando el edificio se encontraba en mal estado, aún se apreciaban las ventanas con arquillos lobulados, las yeserías de los encuadramientos –que data en el siglo XIV– y restos de pinturas –que considera anteriores– en las habitaciones del segundo piso. En la actualidad quedan escasos fragmentos de dicha decoración, pero el testimonio de Gómez-Moreno parece indicar dos reformas. Por un lado, a mediados del siglo XIII se realizarían los zócalos de pinturas y algunas de las yeserías. Posteriormente, Juan I donó esta posesión real al convento de jerónimos de la Sisla en 1385. Casi una década después fue comprada por Beatriz de Silva, quien contrae matrimonio en 1397 con Alvar Pérez de Guzmán. Sería poco tiempo después cuando se acometió la segunda reforma del edificio, como atestiguan los escudos de Guzmán y Silva que figuraban en las yeserías.

Por las sucesivas herencias, la huerta se fraccionó en diversos propietarios. La mayor parte siguió perteneciendo a la familia Guzmán y Montijo, mientras que otras zonas pertenecían a la capilla de Santo Tomás y a la cofradía de la Santa Caridad. Tras las desamortizaciones del XIX, la Casa de Montijo adquirió las partes proindiviso de las entidades cuyo patrimonio inmueble enajenó el Estado, interesando a la emperatriz Eugenia la restauración del palacio, lo que finalmente no ocurrió. Conforme pasó el tiempo, el lugar fue cayendo en el abandono.

Fue declarado monumento histórico-artístico, perteneciente al Tesoro Artístico Nacional, el 3 de junio de 1931, mediante un decreto publicado en la Gaceta de Madrid con la rúbrica del presidente provisional de la república, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora, y del ministro de Instrucción Pública y Bellas Artes, Marcelino Domingo y Sanjúan. En el siglo XX el duque de Peñaranda vendió la finca a Alejandro Fernández de Araoz y Carmen Marañón, quienes en 1959 emprendieron la rehabilitación.

The Chemin du Roy is a historic road along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec. The road begins in Repentigny and extends almost 280 kilometres (170 mi) eastward towards Quebec City. In 1706, the Conseil supérieur of New France decreed that a road be built to connect the settlements along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. Work began in 1731 and was completed in 1737. Upon completion, the Chemin du Roy was 7.4 metres (24 ft) wide, over 280 kilometres (170 mi) long, and crossed 37 seignories. The Chemin du Roy was the longest road in existence at the time north of Mexico.

... 1 km from the Aras River, which separates Armenia from Turkey. The Ararat massif is only 31 km away.

Legend: King Trdat III imprisoned Gregory the Illuminator on the small hill of the Arax Valley in 288 and kept him there for 13 years in order to dissuade him from the Christian faith.

As the torture failed to bend him, he cured the king of a disfiguring skin disease, Trdat III and his family were baptized in 301 and decreed that the Armenians - as the first people in history - should adopt Christianity as their state religion.

---------------------------------------------

... 1 km vom Fluss Aras entfernt, der Armenien von der Türkei trennt. Das Ararat Massiv ist nur 31 km entfernt.

Legende : König Trdat III. sperrte 288 auf der kleinen Anhöhe des Araxtals Gregor den Erleuchter ein, hielt ihn dort 13 Jahre gefangen, um ihn vom christlichen Glauben abzubringen.

Da ihn die Folter nicht beugen konnte, er den König von einer entstellenden Hautkrankheit heilte, ließ sich Trdat III. mit Familie 301 taufen und verfügte, dass die Armenier – als erstes Volk in der Geschichte – das Christentum als Staatsreligion annahmen

GREY by akahawkeyefan

Kingsburg, Ca.

We've had a cat door for many years, and have had many cats over those years. We've let them come and go as they please and that pleases them. Every now and then some feral cat, or a domestic belonging to a neighbor figures out how to come in. They'll partake of the food and usually depart without incident. This fellow has pretty much made our home his. Sleeps here most nights on that sofa back where this shot is taken. I have managed to catch him (while distracted at the food bowl) on several occasions, and petted him. He doesn't hiss or try to scratch. But he is extremely skittish and if I get within six or seven feet of him, he takes off. He's a nice enough fellow and we just coexist.

The wife says we should name him, but I have decreed that he shall be known as "Grey Cat" until such time as he cozies up to us and earns a real name. I don't think he gives a damn.

Offenburg the largest city and administrative capital the Baden-Württemberg region of Germany.

It was first mentioned in historical documents dating back to 1148 and Offenburg was declared a Free Imperial City in 1240. The city - except for two buildings - was destroyed by the French during the Nine Years War in 1689.

During the outbreak of the Revolutions of 1848 the "Offenburger Programm" was written and agreed to. It was the first known demand for democracy in Germany. Along with the Carlsbad Decrees, the Offenburger Program demanded basic and human rights as well as freedom of the press and a progressive tax.

During World War I Offenburg was one of the first cities to experience the effects of aerial bombardment, the operations against Offenburg railway sidings.

After the World War II begun members of the Jewish population that had not managed to emigrate were deported to Gurs concentration camp in October 1940 and from there to Auschwitz during 1942. It was only a primary target for many other bombing tactical attacks were flown during 1944 and 1945 against the railway installations.

French Forces entered Offenburg on the 15 April 1945 and from then on Offenburg became part of the French Zone of Occupation until the creation of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949.

Since the creation of the Federal Republic, Offenburg has continually developed in size, inhabitants, and prosperity. Between 1971 and 1975 eleven adjacent villages were incorporated into the commune of Offenburg and are now an integral part of the city.

Granada, Spain by Gorm Helge Grønli Rudschinat

82 13

On 2 January 1492, the last Muslim ruler in Iberia, Emir Muhammad XII, known as "Boabdil" to the Spanish, surrendered complete control of the Emirate of Granada to the Catholic Monarchs (Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile), after the last episode of the Granada War.

The 1492 capitulation of the Kingdom of Granada to the Catholic Monarchs is one of the most significant events in Granada's history. It brought the demise of the last Muslim-controlled polity in the Iberian Peninsula.

The terms of the surrender, expressed in the Alhambra Decree treaty, explicitly allowed the Muslim inhabitants, known as mudéjares, to continue unmolested in the practice of their faith and customs. By 1499, however, Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros grew frustrated with the slow pace of the efforts of the first archbishop of Granada, Hernando de Talavera, to convert non-Christians and undertook a program of forced baptisms, creating the converso (convert) class for Muslims and Jews. Cisneros's new strategy, which was a direct violation of the terms of the treaty, provoked the Rebellion of the Alpujarras (1499–1501) centered in the rural Alpujarras region southeast of the city.

16th-century view of the city, as depicted in the Civitates orbis terrarum.

The rebellion lasted Until 1500, 9 years after the conquest, the city did not formally establish its own town council, instead, merging the "Old Christians", and the converted morisco elites, a decision that resulted in strong factionalism from 1508 onwards.

The new period also saw the creation of a number of other new institutions such as the Cathedral Cabildo, the Captaincy–General [es], the Royal Chapel and the Royal Chancellery.

For the rest of the 16th century the Granadan ruling oligarchy featured roughly a 40% of (Jewish) conversos and about a 31% of hidalgos.

Responding to the rebellion of 1501, the Crown of Castile rescinded the Alhambra Decree treaty, and mandated that Granada's Muslims convert or emigrate. Under the 1492 Alhambra Decree, Spain's Jewish population, unlike the Muslims, had already been forced to convert (the so-called conversos) under threat of expulsion or even execution. Many of the elite Muslim class subsequently emigrated to North Africa.

The majority of the Granada's mudéjares converted (becoming the so-called moriscos or Moorish) so that they could stay. Both populations of converts were subject to persecution, execution, or exile, and each had cells that practiced their original religion in secrecy (the so-called marranos in the case of the conversos accused of the charge of crypto-Judaism).

Over the course of the 16th century, Granada took on an ever more Catholic and Castilian character,[citation needed] as immigrants came to the city from other parts of the Iberian Peninsula.

The city's mosques were converted to Christian churches or completely destroyed.[citation needed] After the 1492 Alhambra decree, which resulted in the majority of Granada's Jewish population being expelled, the Jewish quarter (ghetto) was demolished to make way for new Catholic and Castilian institutions and uses.

During the 17th century, despite the importance of immigration, the population of the city stagnated at about 55,000, contrary to the trend of population increase experienced in the rural areas of the Kingdom of Granada, where the hammer of depopulation caused by the expulsion of the moriscos had taken a far greater toll in the previous century. The 17th-century demographic stagnation in the city and overall steady population increase in the wider kingdom contrasted with the demographic disaster experienced throughout the century in the rest of the Crown of Castile. wikipedia

The Gymnasium "Slobodan Škerović" - Gimnazija "Slobodan Škerović" by ForceMajeureMontenegro

42 17

By a decree of King Nicholas I of Montenegro, the Lower State Gymnasium was established in 1907, in Podgorica. Its higher grades have been opened in 1914 and 1915. During the occupation of Montenegro by the Austro-Hungarian forces, between 1916 and 1918, the school was closed.

After the First World War, the Gymnasium was reopened. The Great Gymnasium of Podgorica was established on February 12, 1919, following a decree signed by the Executive Committee of the Podgorica assembly.

In 1960, the school was renamed Gymnasium "Slobodan Škerović", to honor its former student and famous Montenegrin revolutionary, Slobodan Škerović.

Maison espagnole et église Saint-Lambert, Bouvignes-sur-Meuse, Dinant, Province de Namur, Belgique by Claude

36 21

La «Grande maison du marché» est mentionnée pour la première fois dans les sources en 1472. Elle se situe sur la place de Bouvignes, au centre du bourg médiéval.

Incendiée lors du sac de la ville par les troupes du roi de France, Henri II, en 1554, elle est rapidement reconstruite par un riche maître de forge – également échevin et/ou bourgmestre – du nom de Gobert Maistrecocq sur les caves d’au moins deux édifices antérieurs. L’étude dendrochronologique de la charpente a permis de dater cette «nouvelle maison» entre 1568 et 1578 (date d’abattage des arbres).

Sa désignation de «Maison espagnole» se réfère à l'occupation espagnole pendant laquelle elle a été construite.

Les frontons à volutes d’influence brabançonne ont été réalisés dans un second temps, au cours de la première moitié du 17e siècle. En 1681, la demeure est remarquée comme «une des plus belles et plus apparentes maisons de la ville». Elle reste, par la suite, aux mains des autres grandes familles de maîtres de forges que sont les Stainier et Moreau jusqu’en 1711.

Du 18e au 20e siècle, le sort de l’édifice, tantôt délaissé tantôt restauré, est variable.

En 1888, le conseil communal de Bouvignes en devient propriétaire. Il la transforme en Maison communale et école pour garçons. La Maison est classée en 1948 (A.R.du 28/04/1948).

En 1964, suite à la fusion des communes, Bouvignes entre dans l’entité de Dinant. La Maison espagnole perd son statut de maison communale. Elle est alors transformée en pôle culturel composé d’une bibliothèque et d’un musée. Dans les années 1980, la Maison espagnole abrite un musée de l’éclairage.

Enfin, depuis 2008, après une lourde rénovation, elle prête ses murs à la découverte du Moyen Âge en vallée mosane au sein de la Maison du patrimoine médiéval mosan.

The "Grande Maison du Marché" (Great Market House) was first mentioned in sources in 1472. It was located on the Place de Bouvignes, in the center of the medieval village.

Burned down during the sack of the town by the troops of the King of France, Henry II, in 1554, it was quickly rebuilt by a wealthy ironmaster—also an alderman and/or mayor—named Gobert Maistrecocq on the basements of at least two earlier buildings. A tree-ring study of the timber frame has allowed this "new house" to be dated to between 1568 and 1578 (the date the trees were felled).

Its designation, "Maison espagnole," refers to the Spanish occupation during which it was built.

The pediments with Brabant-influenced volutes were created later, during the first half of the 17th century. In 1681, the house was noted as "one of the most beautiful and most striking houses in the town." It subsequently remained in the hands of other prominent ironmaster families, the Stainiers and Moreaus, until 1711.

From the 18th to the 20th century, the building's fate, sometimes abandoned, sometimes restored, varied.

In 1888, the Bouvignes municipal council became its owner. It transformed it into a town hall and a boys' school. The house was listed in 1948 (Regulation of the Royal Decree of 28/04/1948).

In 1964, following the merger of the municipalities, Bouvignes became part of the Dinant region. The Spanish House lost its status as a town hall. It was then transformed into a cultural center consisting of a library and a museum. In the 1980s, the Spanish House housed a lighting museum. Finally, since 2008, after a major renovation, it has been used to explore the Middle Ages in the Meuse Valley within the Maison du patrimoine médiévale mosan.

God spoke and the formless earth was sculpted

His poetry producing populations, making constellations

With his conversations gazing at his own creation

Proclaiming it was good and there we stood

Fashioned from the dust

With authority He orchestrated organisms and every single cell in every ecosystem

Every creature that dwells

The planets, the plants

The whole expanse, the sky above your head

And the ground where you stand

The clouds and the rain, the soil that soaks it up

And feeds tiny seeds so they sprout and vegetation proceeds

Infinite wisdom intrinsic within him, self-sufficient

Intricate systems begin and end with His decisions Lofty

Out of reach, how he procreated with speech

So it's appropriate for us to be completely in awe

I don't why, still I try

To wrap my mind around You

Your thoughts are higher, Your ways are better

And I'm in awe

So bring me up to where You are

Bring me up to where You are

It's evident in creation that God is the primary cause

The origin of all scientific laws

Everything else is secondary

The very breath that comes from lungs is caused by the fact that God is involved

One must begin with the mind that was given to him to even believe he's evolved

I'm in awe when I think about quantum mechanics and the rotation of planets

And the exact calculation of the universe is permanently impossible to manage

How photosynthesis takes place to perfectly convert the vividness of light into chemical energy

For the purpose of maintaining and giving life

Intelligent design doesn't even begin to define his creative craftsmanship

Any attempt to align the mind of mankind to divine is insufficient and inadequate

It's too lofty and far beyond us that God would not remain anonymous

Correspond with us and out of all of God's creation would become fond of us

I don't why, still I try

To wrap my mind around You

Your thoughts are higher, Your ways are better

And I'm in awe

So bring me up to where You are

Bring me up to where You are

But worth, value, and beauty is not determined by some innate quality

But by the length for which the owner would go to possess them

And broken and ugly things just like us are stamped "Excellent"

With ink tapped in wells of divine veins

A system of redemption that could only be described as perfect

A seal of approval, fatal debt removal

Promised, prominent, perfect priest

Brilliant designed system, redemption for our kinsmen

Can only be described as perfect with excellent execution

And I'm in awe, the only one truly excellent

The only source of excellence

We are declared excellent only by his decree with his system

The only accurate response is awe

So we make lofty art

See the presence of good art will unconsciously refine a community

And poor art will do it incalculable harm

Only accomplished in the light of his excellency

It's too high, it's lofty

I don't why, still I try

To bring something of worth

My words are fleeting

They're flawed, depleting

And you're leaving me in awe

Bring me up to where You are, God

Gral Guido, Pdo Gral Guido, Buenos Aires, Argentina by Buenos Aires Mi Provincia

90 13

Gral Guido

Después de la Independencia, Juan Manuel de Rosas, prominente hacendado, decidió impulsar la colonización y el poblamiento de la cuenca del Salado, y encomendó a su topógrafo, el agrimensor Senillosa, el relevamiento de la zona, con el objeto de fundar nuevos pueblos. Por decreto del 25 de diciembre de 1839, y tras la Revolución de los Libres del Sur, el gobernador Rodas decidió dividir el territorio al sur del Salado en nuevos partidos, más manejables, y nació entre ellos, el “partido del Vecino”, separado del partido de Tandil, sobre tierras de Don Cornelio Pizarro, quien fue su primera autoridad. No obstante, la riqueza de sus tierras, el partido careció de cabecera y de urbanización durante varias décadas, hasta que empezó el tendido del ferrocarril del Sur, hacia 1860. En 1887, se inaugura la estación Velázquez del ramal Dolores-Ayacucho, alrededor de la cual se empiezan a asentar trabajadores del ferrocarril y pobladores rurales de partido, y así en 1888 se funda el primer poblado del partido. En 1890, ante elcrecimiento experimentado por la población, los vecinos peticionan la autonomía municipal, la cual les es concedida en febrero de 1891. Ese mismo año, se impone al pueblo y a la estación ferroviaria el nombre de General Guido, en recuerdo del militar, político y diplomáticoTomas Guido, amigo y colaborador del general San Martin.

TRASLATOR

Gral Guido

After Independence, Juan Manuel de Rosas, a prominent landowner, decided to promote the colonization and settlement of the Salado basin, and entrusted his surveyor, the surveyor Senillosa, the survey of the area, in order to found new towns. By decree of December 25, 1839, and after the Revolution of the Free South, Governor Rhodes decided to divide the territory south of the Salado into new parties, more manageable, and was born among them, the "party of the Neighbor", separated of the party of Tandil, on lands of Don Cornelio Pizarro, who was his first authority. However, the wealth of their lands, the party lacked head and urbanization for several decades, until the laying of the Southern Railway began, around 1860. In 1887, the Velázquez station of the Dolores-Ayacucho branch was inaugurated, around which began to settle railroad workers and rural people of the party, and so in 1888 the first town of the party was founded. In 1890, before the growth experienced by the population, the neighbors petition for municipal autonomy, which is granted to them in February 1891. That same year, the name of General Guido is imposed on the town and the railway station, in memory of the military, political and diplomaticTomas Guido, friend and collaborator of General San Martin.

Sensual Thoughts by Sophie Lovegood

My own Original song was the inspiration for this picture:

Burning Together

When the heat of the night takes me whole

Your whisper

Soft

Carves into my soul

The breeze kisses

It teases my skin

And I fall

I fall

Let the fire begin

Your scent

It lingers

It pulls me near

A spark in the dark

The night’s souvenir

We’re burning together

Flames in the sky

Our shadows are dancing

No need to ask why

Goosebumps awaken

Desire takes flight

We’re burning together

In endless delight

Your touch is a map

It rewrites my lines

Electrifies places that bend space and time

Pearls of sweat glow like stars on your chest

And hunger ignites where the fire rests

Infinite hunger

Infinite flame

No words needed

No need for a name

It’s a rhythm

A pulse

A heartbeat’s decree

Burning together

Eternally free

We’re burning together

Flames in the sky

Our shadows are dancing

No need to ask why

Goosebumps awaken

Desire takes flight

We’re burning together

In endless delight

Wenn die Hitze der Nacht mich umarmt

Dein Flüstern streift wie ein sanfter Hauch

Die Brise

Die meine Haut zärtlich küsst

Ich weiß

Ich kann nicht widerstehen

Du weißt genau

Was ich brauch

Dein Duft raubt mir den Verstand

Bis in die Unendlichkeit

Ein Feuer

Das in mir brennt

Hände

Die die Zeit anhalten

Gänsehaut

Die niemals endet

Bis in die Unendlichkeit

Schweißperlen glitzern im schummrigen Licht

Eine Glut

Die alles um uns entfacht

Hunger erwacht

So tief und wild

Deine Berührung macht mich elektrisiert

Du führst mich durch das Sternenmeer

Kein Zurück

Ich will nur mehr

Bis in die Unendlichkeit

Ein Feuer

Das in mir brennt

Hände

Die die Zeit anhalten

Gänsehaut

Die niemals endet

Bis in die Unendlichkeit

FRR2382_Mayo 2020.PaseosConstitucionales copia by Francisco Racero

203 13

Estas fotografías son de Mayo del 2020 y corresponden a la serie denominada "Paseos Constitucionales". En realidad eran paseos en contra del decreto del gobierno para que no nos desplazáramos libremente fuera del domicilio. El decreto era anticonstitucional. Los golfos del Tribunal Constitucional tardaron dos años en "descubrirlo". Leyendo el decreto cuando se publico se sabia que aquello no se ajustaba a la Constitución vigente.

Y algún intercambio de opinión sobre el tema hubo con algún agente policial con exceso de celo.

Y, claramente, si el general Franco no me arresto nunca en el domicilio no se lo iba a permitir a esta panda de chapuceros incompetentes. Esta es la historia.

These photographs are from May 2020 and correspond to the series called "Constitutional Walks". In reality, they were walks against the government decree so that we would not move freely outside the home. The decree was unconstitutional. The gulfs of the Constitutional Court took two years to "discover it". Reading the decree when it was published, it was known that it did not conform to the current Constitution.

And there was some exchange of opinion on the subject with some overzealous police officer.

And, clearly, if General Franco never arrested me at home, he was not going to allow this bunch of incompetent bunglers. This is the story.

Народний ансамбль у Седніві (Чернігівська область, Україна) by Sea-Soul Bata

Folk ensemble in Sedniv (Chernihiv region, Ukraine)

The Lyzogubs’ estate in Sedniv

Starting from the second half of the 17 th century Sedniv was the place where large landowners the Lyzogubs arranged their main manor. The members of this glorious Ukrainian Cossack family played a significant role in the history and culture of Ukraine.

In 1687 Hetman Ivan Mazepa, designated Jacob Lyzogub the Chernigov colonel. In 1689 Mazepa endowed him richly with lands near Chernigov, including Sednev for his participation in the Crimean campaign. Son of Jacob Lyzogub, Efim was the Chernihiv colonel as well. In 1690 he began the construction of ancestral estate in Sedniv. On the right high bank of the Snov river he managed to lay a large park, build wooden residential buildings, stone building and the Resurrection church as the family burial vault.

The following generations of the Lyzogubs were all the militaries. In the first half of the 19th century one of five brothers Lyzogubs Andrei Ivanovich (1804-1864) retired and settled for good in Sedniv at the age of twenty-five years. He was joined by his brother, Ilya Ivanovich (1787-1867) – a retired colonel, a participant of the war with Napoleon and Alexander Ivanovich (1790-1839) – major general. The old building proved to be rather small. The estate was expanded along the mountain over again. The brothers turned the family homestead in the picturesque architectural ensemble. They attached a tower in a pseudogothic style to the old Cossack stone building and on the flank of the hill above the Snov river there was placed a gazebo.

To unite old and new territories of the estate the old rampart of the ancient settlement of Snov was cut through and a small bridge was spanned over the moat.

Park of the new estate acquired the romantic features according to the fashion trends of that time. Scenic views and the rampart proved very handy. In the end of the rampart that is on a steep slope at the river, a typical for romantic parks mysterious grotto with an entrance was embedded right in the ground. It was once decorated with local river mussels like the “sea bed” . Circular hole was in the ceiling, and a small window that overlooked the Snov river. By efforts of Ilya Ivanovich there were installed fountains in the park. One of them, called “Getman”, spurted higher than the famous “Samson” in Peterhof.

In the mid of th 19th century in the middle of the park there was built an U-shaped the Lyzogubs’ large house in the style of late classicism in place of the old wooden one.

The manor house is a one-storey building that bears typical features of eclectic architecture. It has two projection in the facade on both sides and a semicircular oriel in the center of the fasade that is turned to the river and fine detail decoration. House is placed parallelly to the slope.

All the buildings in the estate seemed to stress the attractiveness of the landscapes that was greatly admired by the owners: the tower over the entrance to Cossack stone building, the grotto, the oriel and white-column rotunda are oriented to the east overlooking the river.

Unfortunately, the park is now neglected. The slopes are so overgrown that one can hardly see the scenery across the river. There are age-old chestnuts, oaks, maples, which remember many guests of the Lyzogubs.

And among them were artists L. Zhemchuzhnikov and A. Slastion, writers L. Glebov and B. Grinchenko. There is still a lime tree in the park in the shade of which Taras Shevchenko liked to have a rest during his visits to Sedniv.

The Lizogubs themselves were rather talented human beings. Thus Alexander Lyzogub is known as the Ukrainian composer, one of the founders of Ukrainian piano music. He was the author of nocturnes, mazurkas, ballads, and variations on the theme of Ukrainian folk songs.

Ilya Ivanovich was keen on music as well. Mykola Markevych characterized him as: “A wonderful musician, a pianist, cellist, singer and composer, a good painter, a person keen on hydraulics. He decorates Sedniv with parks and fountains and lives quietly, modestly, but as an aristocrat.” The younger brother of Andrei Ivanovich was fond of painting and painted a few icons for the iconostasis of the Resurrection church.

In November 2009 President of Ukraine issued the decree to establish State Historical and National Preserve “The Lyzogubs’ Estate” in Sedniv.

And stole our starlight that for us was shining by Nick Kenrick

39 36

Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc ... Always very much appreciated !

A SONG OF ETERNITY IN TIME.

ONCE, at night, in the manor wood

My Love and I long silent stood,

Amazed that any heavens could

Decree to part us, bitterly repining.

My Love, in aimless love and grief,

Reached forth and drew aside a leaf

That just above us played the thief

And stole our starlight that for us was shining.

A star that had remarked her pain

Shone straightway down that leafy lane,

And wrought his image, mirror-plain,

Within a tear that on her lash hung gleaming.

"Thus Time," I cried, '" is but a tear

Some one hath wept 'twixt hope and fear,

Yet in his little lucent sphere

Our star of stars, Eternity, is beaming."

S Lanier
