The General Staff Building is an edifice with a 580 m long bow-shaped facade, situated on Palace Square in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in front of the Winter Palace.
The monumental Neoclassical building was designed by Carlo Rossi in the Empire style and built in 1819-1829. It consists of two wings, which are separated by a tripartite triumphal arch adorned by sculptors Stepan Pimenov and Vasily Demuth-Malinovsky and commemorating the Russian victory over Napoleonic France in the Patriotic War of 1812.
Until the capital was transferred to Moscow in 1918, the building served as the headquarters of the General Staff, Foreign Ministry and Finance Ministry.

The ALEXANDRINSKY THEATRE is the second most famous theatre in St. Petersburg, home of the oldest theatre company in Russia, and one of the finest works of the great neoclassical architect Carlo Rossi, at the centre of a remarkable ensemble of buildings created by him on and around Ploshchad Ostrovskogo that Petersburgers consider one of the architectural jewels of the city.
The theatre's origins date back to 1756, when Empress Elizabeth issued a decree to found the Russian Theatre for the Presentation of Tragedies and Comedies, Russia's first professional theatre. However, it was over seven decades before the company took up residence in Rossi's superb building. The first theatre on the site was a wooden building adapted from a pavilion in the gardens of the Anichkov Palace by Vincenzo Brenna in 1801 for the Italian impresario Antonio Casassi. This was soon bought by the state, and renamed the Maly ("small") Theatre.
The building proved too small, however, for the rapidly growing number of theatergoers in St. Petersburg. The decision was taken to replace the building with a larger, stone theatre, and French architect Thomas de Thomon presented his design in 1811. The invasion of Russia by Napoleon's forces prevented this project being realized, and another architect of French origin, Carl Mauduit, was the next to propose designs, not just for the new theatre but for the whole area between Nevsky Prospekt and Ulitsa Lomonosova, Sadovaya Ulitsa and the Fontanka River. Although his plans were approved in 1816, he proved unequal to the task, and Carlo Rossi took over the assignment.
It was a project that would occupy the Italian for over twenty years. The theatre, completed in 1832, became the central and dominant structure in his designs, which included the Russian National Library and the Directorate of the Imperial Theatres (next to the Alexandrinsky and now home to the Museum of Theatrical and Musical Art). Named in honour of Alexandra Fyodorovna, wife of Nicholas I, the Alexandrinsky Theatre was painted in the yellow-and-white colour scheme that became de rigueur for neoclassical buildings in St. Petersburg. The building was decorated with sculptures by Stepan Pimenov and Vasily Demuth Malinovsky, who had also provided decoration for Rossi's General Staff Building. For the Alexandrinsky's main facade they created a statue of Apollo's chariot for the pediment, and figures of Melpomene and Thalia, the muses of tragedy and comedy respectively, for the niches. So impressed was Nicholas I with Rossi's work that the architect was granted his own box in the theatre in perpetuity. Unfortunately, financial difficulties obliged him to rent out the box, and when the Emperor discovered, his right was soon forfeited.
Inside the theatre, the carving of the Tsar's Box and a few other boxes are all that remain from Rossi's planned decorations, many of which were never realized. The rest of the original interiors were remodeled in the second half of the 19th century. With space for an audience of 1,378, the Alexandrinsky was one of the biggest theatres in Europe when it opened, and praised for its superb acoustics. Initially it was used for performances of drama, opera and ballet by the Imperial Theatre Companies, and it was only after the completion of the Mariinsky Theatre that it began to specialize only in drama. As such, it was the site of the premieres of many of the greatest works in the canon of Russian drama, including the plays of Alexander Griboedov, Alexander Ostrovsky, and Anton Chekhov.

Das Kreuzabnahmerelief an den Externsteinen ist ein großes, in den Sandstein der Externsteine im Teutoburger Wald gehauenes Relief, auf dem die Kreuzabnahme zu sehen ist. Es gilt als die älteste aus massivem Fels gehauene Steinmetz-Großplastik nördlich der Alpen.
Goethe sah 1824 das Relief als karolingisch an und bemerkte byzantinische Einflüsse. Er rückte es in den Zusammenhang einer Umwidmung eines vorchristlichen Heiligtums in eine Stätte der christlichen Gottesverehrung:
„Ohne also weitläufiger zu sein, geben wir gerne zu, daß ein mönchischer Künstler, unter den Schaaren der Geistlichen, die der erobernde Hof Carl des Großen nach sich zog, dieses Werk könne verfertigt haben.“
Nahezu gleichzeitig veröffentlichte Karl Theodor Menke seine gegenteilige Ansicht, dass das Relief aus dem 12. Jahrhundert stamme:
„Der gläubige Christ zog dahin, in frommem Sinne, mit Andacht im Herzen, wie nach einem anderen Jerusalem, um seine Demuth zu erkennen zu geben, Buße zu thun, Vergebung der Sünden zu erlangen und des Reiches Gottes theilhaftig zu werden. Schon diese Idee macht es wahrscheinlich, daß jene Sculpturarbeit in das Zeitalter der Kreuzzüge fällt, bei deren Unternehmung dieselben frommen Absichten jener Wallfahrten zum Grunde lagen.“
Urkundliche Überlieferungen konnten beide nicht für sich anführen. Bis zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts schlossen sich die Kunsthistoriker Goethes Ansicht an.
Als 1846 eine Inschrift im Inneren der Grotte gefunden wurde, die eine Weihe der Grotte im Jahr 1115 zu dokumentieren schien, schloss man sich der Ansicht Menkes an, indem man die Grotteninschrift auch auf das außen angebrachte Relief bezog. Eine Kaufurkunde des Klosters Abdinghof vom Jahre 1093 lenkte den Blick weiterhin auf die Kreuzzugszeit.
Freilich geriet die Echtheit der Urkunde bald in Zweifel und ist heute als unsicher erkannt. Inzwischen muss auch die Inschrift der unteren Grotte als zweifelhaft erscheinen. Der Bildhauer Niedhorn kam nach eigenen Untersuchungen zu dem Ergebnis, dass die schwer leserliche Inschrift in einem Arbeitsgang geschaffen und durch gleichzeitige Meißelschläge undeutlich gemacht worden war. Er erklärt den Befund so, dass der Verfertiger die Inschrift viel älter erscheinen lassen wollte, als sie war. Walther Matthes und Rolf Speckner kommen aufgrund eines Vergleichs aller Einzelmotive zu der Goethe bestätigenden Interpretation, dass das Relief zwischen 816 und 822 geschaffen worden sei.

Today's We're Here Challenge: Four on a Sofa
While running errands this afternoon, as I drove through Demuth Park, I found the 3 Palm Springs Noodles next to the Senior Center. I stopped and took a few photos.
When Darek got home this evening we loaded the furbys into the car and took them to the Vet IQ in La Quinta for their canine influenza shots.
This is one of the buildings of Hermitage Museum. The General Staff building
The General Staff building was designed by Carlo Rossi, an outstanding architect of the Russian Classicism style. It was built in 1820-27 and reveals an architectural strictness that was characteristically Classical. The General Staff building occupies a vast space from Nevsky Prospekt to the bend of the Moika River. The main accent in the composition of the facade looking on to Palace Square is placed on the magnificent arch - the symbol of the triumph of Russia. The triumphal chariot drawn by six horses and the sculptural compositions of the arch - statues of warriors, high reliefs representing flying figures of genii of Glory and armour - were executed according to Rossi's designs by Vasily Demuth-Malinovsky and Stepan Pimenov. The building's special expressiveness results from the combination of the severe and neutral facade with the monumental central part, which is lavishly decorated with sculptures, and the rhythmically arranged, well-proportioned columns of the porticos of the side wings. The ground floor takes the form of a rusticated base or socle. The windows of the main first floor are surrounded with decorative frames and ledges. The upper part of the wall is highlighted by means of a stucco cornice. The eastern wing of the building, now belonging to the Hermitage Museum, was meant for the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Finances. Three porticos in strict Tuscany order accentuated by projections add imposing solemnity to the long facade looking on to the Moika River. The splendid building designed by Rossi completed the ensemble of Palace Square.

I thought the soft focus of the original wider shot worked well in a tighter crop. **Remember one of the first rules of photography - when your focus is a little off, tell people that you meant to do that to be "artsy!"
